Abstract
Description
- This invention relates generally to clothing and, more particularly, to baby clothing and to bibs of the type attached under a child's chin during mealtime.
- Feeding a baby is messy business, as it is often fraught with spit-ups, food and drink spills from the baby's mouth, and the throwing of food by the baby. Nevertheless, feeding a baby is often a fun experience for parent and baby alike. Moreover, regardless of how messy mealtime with a baby can be, it is always a satisfying experience if the baby eats well.
- Because feeding a baby at mealtime is often messy, most parents and caregivers use bibs to collect food and drink spills from under the baby's chin. Typically, bibs are tied or otherwise secured around the baby's neck to suspend the bib under the baby's chin. Securing or tying a bib around a baby's neck poses a choking hazard and is, therefore, inherently dangerous. Moreover, tying a conventional bib tie around a baby's neck is difficult because the bib tie must be carefully adjusted to ensure the bib is not too tight around the baby's neck. Bibs formed with non-adjustable neck ties are often either too big or too small. Accordingly, the art of bibs of the type attached under a child's chin during mealtime is in need of improvement.
- According to the principle of the invention, a garment with bib attachment consist of a garment body having a front, opposed first and second sides, an upper end, a neck-receiving opening formed in the upper end of the garment body, a first arm stall formed in the upper end of the garment body on a first side of the neck-receiving opening, and a second arm stall formed in the upper end of the garment body on a second side of the neck-receiving opening. A bib has opposed upper and lower ends, opposed first and second sides, and opposed first and second extensions formed in the upper end of the bib at the first and second sides, respectively, of the bib. The first and second extensions each extend upwardly relative to the upper end of the bib at the first and second sides, respectively, of the bib. A first engagement assembly detachably secures the first extension to the garment body proximate to the upper end of the garment body on the first side of the neck-receiving opening, and a second engagement assembly detachably secures the second extension to the garment body proximate to the upper end of the garment body on the second side of the neck-receiving opening. The first and second engagement assemblies suspend the bib on the front of the garment body below the neck-receiving opening. The first engagement assembly consists of a first engagement element carried by the first extension of the bib body detachably engaged to a first complemental engagement element carried by the garment body, and the second engagement assembly consists of a second engagement element carried by the second extension of the bib body detachably engaged to a second complemental engagement element carried by the garment body.

A first opening leading into a first pocket is each formed in the upper end of the garment body between the neck-receiving opening and the first arm stall, and a second opening leading into a second pocket is formed in the upper end of the garment body between the neck-receiving opening and the second arm stall. A bib has opposed upper and lower ends, opposed first and second sides. Opposed first and second extensions are formed in the upper end of the bib at the first and second sides, respectively, of the bib. The first and second extensions each extend upwardly relative to the upper end of the bib at the first and second sides, respectively, of the bib. The first extension of the bib extends into the first pocket through the first opening into the first pocket, and the second extension of the bib extends into the second pocket through the second opening into the first pocket. A first engagement assembly detachably secures the first extension to the garment body within the first pocket, and a second engagement assembly detachably secures the second extension to the garment body within the second pocket. The first and second engagement assemblies suspend the bib on the front of the garment body below the neck-receiving opening. The first pocket is inverted and extends downwardly along the front of the garment body to the first opening, and the second pocket is inverted and extends downwardly along the front of the garment body to the second opening. The first opening into the first pocket extends across the front of the garment body proximate to the upper end of the garment body from proximate to the neck-receiving opening to proximate to the first arm stall formed in the garment body. The second opening into the first pocket extends across the front of the garment body proximate to the upper end of the garment body from proximate to the neck-receiving opening to proximate to the second arm stall formed in the garment body. The first engagement assembly consists of a first engagement element carried by the first extension of the bib body detachably engaged to a first complemental engagement element carried by the garment body in the first pocket. The second engagement assembly consists of a second engagement element carried by the second extension of the bib body detachably engaged to a second complemental engagement element carried by the garment body in the second pocket.
