Description
- The present application is based on, and claims the benefit of priority of U.S. application Ser. No. 62208917, filed on Aug. 24, 2015, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the invention
- The field of the invention is onebib that can be attached and detached from a user without neck engaging section. This field includes baby bibs and adult bibs, for personal use or in the field of dental or medical care. It includes bibs suitable for use in nursing homes and care for the elderly.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- The use of bibs or feeders to protect infants or babies clothing during feeding is well known. Typically, a bib comprises a generally square, rectangular or otherwise suitably shaped section of material provided with securing tapes or the like which in use is placed on the front of the infant and fastened about the infant's neck by way of the tapes. After use the bib is removed and washed. Similarly bibs are used in hospitals in the feeding of elderly and handicapped people.
- According to prior art, an individual wearing a bib must first remove the bib before a onesie can be worn by that individual. Similarly, an individual wearing a onesie must first remove the onesie before a bib can be worn by that individual.
- A number of approaches have been taken for providing a protective bib, particularly for infants, to be worn over clothing to protect the clothing from food spills, dribbles and the like. Such bibs are usually formed of an absorbent material, typically terrycloth or the like and are made in various shapes and sizes with means for fastening the bib about the neck of the child.
- One prior art form of an interchangeable bib is that which is formed of an interchangeable body encompassing section. This encompassing section will prevent the seepage experienced by all-cloth bibs; however, it still is a one-use bib requiring securing tapes or the like for each use.
- A need exists in the current art for buttons or adhesives; a versatile bib or apron that can be inexpensively maintained and selectively altered for convenient effect. It is to this need that the present invention is directed. The present invention solves the problem by a unique set of elements described according to claims 1 to 5.
- The present invention provides an improved or at least alternative form for a bib and onesie to be combined as a set. Advantageously, the torso side of the bib is provided with fixed fastening means for snapping or adhering the bib to the clothing of the user. Additionally, the invention provides additional benefits such as increased support and protection and has style.
- In one preferred embodiment, the fastening means may comprise adhesive elements or snap elements suitable fixing to the clothing of the user. Typically, each of the snap elements of the bib includes a male snap element, and each of the fastening elements of the clothing of the users includes a female snap element.
- In other preferred embodiment, the fastening means of the bib and the fastening elements of the clothing of the user are selected from a group consisting of buttons, pins, zippers, Velcro, and hook and loop fasteners.
-
FIG. 1 shows a front elevational view of the preferred embodiment including the bib constructed with snap elements in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 shows a side elevational view of the preferred embodiment shown inFIG. 1 and illustrates fastening means of snap elements facilitating attachment of the bib to the clothing of the user. -
FIG. 3 shows a front elevational view of the preferred embodiment including the bib constructed with adhesive elements in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 shows a side elevational view of the preferred embodiment shown inFIG. 1 and illustrates a fastening means of adhesive elements facilitating attachment of the bib to the clothing of the user. - An embodiment of the present invention is disclosed in
FIG. 1 . Thebib 16 is shown having an approximatelyflat bib body 10 of approximate rounded shape with a torso side and an outward side.

Thebib body 16 is made of flexible material that is preferably water-impermeable, such as polyethylene or other plastic, reinforced paper or fabric. It is desirable to have the material to be water-impermeable because thebib body 16 shields the user from liquids spilled on the outward side of the bib body. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , thebib 16 is used by attaching thefastener 12 to the clothing of the user and placing the torso side of thebib 16 against the clothing of the user. Typically, thefastener 12 includes snapping elements that fastening the torso side of thebib 16 to the clothing of the user by snapping the male snap of thebib 16 to the female snap of the clothing of the users. - Another embodiment of the fastening means for attaching the
bib 16 to the clothing of the user is shown inFIGS. 3 and 4 , whereinadhesive elements 14 are strategically located on each of sections of the torso side of thebib 16. Typically, thefastener 14 includes adhesive portions to attach the torso side of thebib 16 to the clothing of the user by simply pressing thesensitive adhesive 14 against the clothing of the user as shown inFIG. 4 . The pressure sensitive adhesive may optionally have a peel-off cover. - The
bib 16 optionally has aneck portion 18 that approximately touches or encircles the neck. Theneck portion 18 can be square, arcuate or other shapes. It can have slits or notches that allow theneck portion 18 to fit a variety of sizes of necks and users. - The embodiments were chosen and described to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application to persons who are skilled in the art. As various modifications could be made to the exemplary embodiments, as described above with reference to the corresponding illustrations, without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the foregoing description and shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative rather than limiting. Thus, the breadth and scope of the present invention should not be limited by any of the above described exemplary embodiments, but should be defined only in accordance with the following claims appended hereto and their equivalents.
