Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of Invention

The invention relates to a bib, and more particularly to an infant bib capable of avoiding restraining a neck circumference of infant and adjusting a pocket position.

Related Art

Infant bib used for eating is a kind of bib that is wrapped around a infant's neck to prevent the clothes from getting dirty due to the fallen food during eating. Moreover, the bibs on the market are equipped with a pocket with a function of receiving the fallen food to reduce the chance of food being scattered everywhere when the infants are eating. Due to the short interval between meals for infants, most of the bibs on the market are made of silicone rubber material for the convenience of quick cleaning and drying to be ready for using the next time. Also, with the soft and comfortable tactile impression of silicone rubber material, damage of the skin of infants can be avoided.
However, due to the rapid growth rate of infants, and most infants have different body shapes, single-size bib on the market is not suitable for all infants, especially high and low positions of the pocket make big differences for infants of different ages and body types. Moreover, compared with bibs made of cloth material, bibs made of silicone rubber material are still slightly harder and have a certain weight, so infants will be less accustomed to wearing them at first; it is often the case that the infant will pull the bib with hands, which causes the infant's neck to be restrained by the bib, resulting in discomfort or redness and swelling of the skin.
As mentioned above, the prior art still has many problems. Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the inventor of the invention has been eager to improve and innovate, after years of painstaking and diligent research, an infant bib of the invention is finally developed successfully.

In order to achieve the above objects, an infant bib provided by the invention mainly includes a body, at least one arm sleeve, a holding unit and a connecting structure.
Wherein the body is a bib body, and the body is made of silicone rubber material.
Wherein the arm sleeve includes two loops respectively disposed on two sides of the body, and the arm sleeve is integrally formed with the body.
The loops are respectively connected with an adjustment strap, and free ends of the adjustment straps are respectively provided with a velcro part or a fastener.
One of the loops is connected with an adjustment strap, and the other loop of the loops is provided with a hole, and a free end of the adjustment strap and a position adjacent to a middle of the adjustment strap are respectively provided with a velcro part or a fastener.
Wherein positions adjacent to the two sides of the body are respectively provided with at least one hole, the arm sleeve includes an adjustment strap and two loops, the loops are disposed on the adjustment strap, the adjustment strap is inserted into the holes, and the two loops are located by two sides of the body.
