The field of design

The present invention relates to a foldable bib for a baby, the bib having a locking compartment for fastening when folded.

It is common for parents to carry bibs when they are planning to give their baby something to eat outside the house. Storage is important because improper storage can lead to contamination, cleanliness and excessive space consumption of the diaper bag. The present design focuses on a foldable bib that can be folded and fixed in a folded position to minimize leakage of internal contents while minimizing space. To avoid overloading the child, the baby bib is generally designed to be lightweight. For baby bibs composed of semi-rigid materials such as plastic or silicone, the bib is generally heavier than traditional cloth materials. Therefore, in order not to burden the baby with a heavy bib, the thickness of the bib is minimized. Design patent US D698130 discloses a baby bib that, when folded, snaps the connector to the edge of the hole in the pocket to secure the folded position. Limiting the thickness of the entire structure reduces the durability and reliability of the edge of the hole. Over time, repeated movements of pulling or twisting cause wear and damage to the hole. In addition, the bib holes are located along the pockets of the bib. This can cause unnecessary food or fluid spillage, which in turn causes discomfort in children. It would be desirable to be able to provide a reliable locking mechanism for a child's bib that can extend life while providing a robust locking system that is easy to use and manufacture. In addition, this will alleviate child discomfort and unnecessary outflow.

The present invention generally locks the bib in a folded position for storage capacity, as well as locking means for fastening and securing a protruding connector located on the pocket of the bib, in particular with means to prevent spillage of contaminants It relates to a locking mechanism on a bib comprising a garment. This is achieved by designing an excellent locking compartment to perform a solid encasement when securing the protruding connector. The thickness of the locking compartment is independent of the bib, and can be designed at various levels of thickness without affecting the overall structure of the bib. The present invention also focuses on the protruding connector being positioned away from physical contact with the baby to prevent any skin irritation. The locking mechanism removes the hole on the pocket surface, thus preventing any food spillage when in the open or folded position.

Convertible bib (convertible bib, 1) can be folded, can be folded and stored in the storage pocket (40). Various items such as spoons for use during outdoor activities can be stored in the storage pocket 40. 1 shows a convertible bib 1 having a panel 10 and a storage pocket 40. The convertible bib 1 comprises a panel 10 with collar appendages 15, 16 extending and fixed around the infant's neck. A method of securing the collar attachments together is shown in FIG. 2. Methods of securing attachments generally include a variety of Velcros, buttons, hooks and loops or any other fasteners as long as the bib can be secured around the infant's neck. 1 also shows the general position of the locking compartment 20 which is an essential component of the locking mechanism for securing the bib in the folded position. Further description of the methods for the locking mechanism will be discussed in subsequent paragraphs.

3 is a rear view of the bib showing the opening 30 for the locking compartment 20. The opening 30 consists of an aperture or slit that is stretchable in various sizes and shapes to fit the protruding tabs 25 located in the storage pocket 40.

4 is a side view showing the locking compartment 20 located on the body 1 of the bib. The locking compartment is made of a semi-rigid material that can be stretched, compressed and decompressed to enable deformation of its shape to achieve mutual locking of the protruding tab 25 and the locking compartment 20. .

5 is a cross-sectional view taken on line A shown in FIG. 1. The locking compartment 20 is located on the front body of the bib 1. The internal structure of the locking compartment 20 consists of a socket 31 and an opening 30. The socket 31 is a hollow structure having means for fastening and securing the anchor 26 of the protruding tab 25 when the bib is in the folded position. The protruding tabs 25 are generally located in the storage pocket 40 and are each aligned on the same vertical axis of the locking compartment 20 (see Fig. 6). It should be noted that the shape and size of the socket 31 is determined by the stretchability of the material used for the locking compartment, with the main purpose of securing the anchor 26 of the protruding tab 25 securely. do.

7 is a cross-sectional view of the side view showing the bib 1 in the folded position. During the storage operation, the user folds the bib into the storage pocket 40, so the panel of the bib 10 is folded into the storage pocket 40 in such a way that the opening 30 is aligned with the protruding tab 25. The user inserts the protruding tab 25 through the opening 30 into the locking compartment 20. When the protruding tab 25 reaches the socket 31, the elasticity and elasticity of the socket 31 engage and secure the anchor 26 of the protruding tab 25. Alternatively, the user pinching and bending the locking compartment 20 to expand the internal structures (socket 31 and opening 30) to facilitate the insertion of the protruding tab 25 ). By releasing the pressure, the internal structures elastically return to their initial state, which also holds and secures the anchor 26 of the protruding tab 25. The user again applies pressure on the locking compartment 20 to release the protruding tab 25, which also stretches the inner structures and further releases the anchor 26 so that the protruding tab 25 locks the locking compartment. It is possible to escape from (20). The protruding tab 25 and its anchor 26 can also be designed to deform its shape under pressure. The user can apply pressure on the protruding tab 25 to separate it from the socket 31 and release it from the compartment 20 through the opening 30.

Alternatively, the protruding tabs can be placed within the locking compartment 20 together with an alternate socket placed in the storage pocket 40 to achieve a similar interlocking mechanism.

Alternatively, the positions of the protruding tabs and the locking compartment can be exchanged, in order to achieve a similar interlocking mechanism, the locking compartment is placed in the storage pocket 40, and the protruding tabs are located on the body of the bib. do.

8 and 9 are top and perspective views of the bib in the fully folded position. It should be noted that the folded bib is generally in the shape of a “bathtub”, but the bib can be made in a variety of shapes. It should be noted that the entire bib can be made of one piece or multiple components. The locking compartment 20, the protruding tab 25, the socket 31, the opening 30 and other subsequent components can be made of various sizes, shapes and materials as long as the locking effect is achieved. The locking compartment 20 can also be surrounded by different elastic materials to achieve a better or optimal locking effect with the protruding tabs 25. The protruding tab 29 can be further extended to form the handle 89. The handle 89 is generally located near the protruding tab 29 as a means to aid the insertion and removal of the protruding tab 29 relative to the opening 31 of the locking compartment. The handle 89 may be part of the protruding tab 29 or may be a separate entity. The handle 89 can be made of various sizes, shapes and materials.

As an alternative to the preferred embodiment, the locking compartment 20 can be hollowed out to further receive and secure a locking device (not shown). The locking device interacts with the protruding tab; Both of these may be in the form of buckles, buttons, fasteners, connectors, but are not limited thereto; It may or may not be constructed from a material similar to the locking compartment 20.

It should be noted that the protruding tabs and the locking compartments can be placed anywhere on the bib, and there can be one or more locking compartments or protruding tabs at any position, and may or may not be aligned with each other. do. This allows the bib to be folded in various sizes and shapes to provide the amount of storage space desired by the user.
