Abstract
A disposable air expandable bib, for protection against accidental spills while consuming food or drinks, is shown. The bib preferably has a closed end air channel for receiving air. The closed end air channel having at least one opening for air inlet, wherein upon blowing air into the air channel, the bib expands. The bib also preferably has end ties for engaging the neck of a person and holding the bib in place. In a preferred embodiment, the bib further comprising a napkin situated closer to the side adjacent to one's mouth. In another preferred embodiment, the bib also further comprises at least one pocket for storage of food or other material.
Description
- The use of various bibs for protection against accidental spills are known. In these devices can be as simple as a plastic covering with end ties for attachment to one's neck. Other known bibs, have pockets for holding various items, or to catch accidental food spillage.
- However, these bibs are not suitable for use during driving, or in instances outside the home for example in sporting events. First, it is inconvenient for consumers to take bibs with themselves on driving or to sporting events. Accordingly, a disposable bib is necessary. Second, because plastic bibs, similar to plastic bags in grocery stores, are not easily expandable and opened, there is a need for a mechanism to open the bib quickly, and conveniently, especially if one is driving. This is especially true because if one's hands are greasy, it is almost impossible to manipulate a plastic bib.
- Therefore there is a need for a disposable bib that can be opened and expanded easily. There is also a need for a bib, that contains pockets for holding various items such as food items, napkins, or to catch spilled food.
- A disposable air expandable bib, for protection against accidental spills while consuming food or drinks, is shown. The bib preferably has a closed end air channel for receiving air. The closed end air channel having at least one opening for air inlet, wherein upon blowing air into the air channel, the bib expands. The bib also preferably has end ties for engaging the neck of a person and holding the bib in place. In a preferred embodiment, the bib further comprising a napkin situated closer to the end adjacent to one's mouth. In another preferred embodiment, the bib also further comprises at least one pocket for storage of food or other material.
