1947. F. c. SHATTUCK 2,425,961
BI'BETTE Filed May 6, 1946 INVENTOR. FEL/C/A 6. SHATTUCK her attorney Patented Aug. 19, 1947 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 6 Claims. 1
This invention relates to bibs or bibettes for infants and children and has forits obj ct to provide a paper bibette of simple and efficient construction which is capable of being manufactured at relatively small cost.
An important object of my invention is to provide a paper bibette having a, neck opening partially cut inwardly from one perimeteral edge thereof and folded over to form a doubled edge throughout a portion of the neck opening as well as for providing a superposed layer of material for increasing the thickness of the bibette in the area adapted to overlie the chest of the wearer and most susceptible to soiling when the bibette is in service.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, reference being had to the annexed drawing in which:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a paper bibette viewed from the rear;
Figure 2 is a, plan view of the bibette viewed from the front;
Figure 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1 to show the twoply construction of the bibette; and
Figure 4 is a plan view of a modified form of bibette, viewed from the rear.
The bibette shown in Fig. l of the drawing comprises a blank A of generally rectangular shape and composed of two superposed sheets of paper, namely, an outer sheet I of a soft absorbent tissue paper and an inner reinforcing sheet 2 of a somewhat tougher grade of paper coated or impregnated with a wax or sizing so as to render this sheet substantially waterproof. A coating of wax, resin, glue or other suitable bonding material is applied to one of the contacting faces of the two paper sheets and the sheets are fused together by the application of heat and pressure.
At the upper end of the blank is formed a neck opening 3; This neck opening is formed by cutting the blank along two arcuate lines 4 and 4a inwardly from its upper edge, the two lines of cut terminating short of each other so as to leave an unsevered portion 41). The fly 5 thus partially severed from the blank is folded inwardlythat is, against the face of the inner sheet 2-and held in place by spots of adhesive, indicated at 6.
The two sections I of the blank lying upon opposite sides of the neck opening 3 form shoulder straps, to the inner faces of the upper marginal edges of which are adhesively secured tie strings B for tying the bibette about the neck of a child. The tie strings are formed either of fabric or a tough grade of paper stronger than that comprising the blank A. The ends of the ribbons secured to the edges of the shoulder straps act to strengthen these edges and reduce their liability to tearing.
Integral with the lower end of the blank A is a downwardly and outwardly expanded section 9 adapted to be folded upwardly along the horizontal dotted line' I 0 toward the outer sheet I to form a pocket at the lower end of the bibette. Wings I I project from the side edges of the pocket section and have an adhesive applied along their side edges as indicated at I2. By folding these wings along the dotted lines Ila and Nb and securing them to the rear face of the inner sheet 2, a projecting pocket is formed at the lower end of the bibette to catch crumbs and drippings spilling onto the bibette.
In the bibette construction just described the inturned fly 5 not only forms a. reinforcement for the body of the bibette blank at a location overlying the chest area just under the chin of the child (which portion of the bibette is most subject to contact with foods and liquids) but this fly strengthens the neck portion where it is most susceptible to tearing, namely in a. line centrally from the neck opening lengthwise of the bibette. This fly may be left unsecured by adhesive to the rear face of the bibette, if desired, so that at the conclusion of a meal it may be torn off at the neck opening and used'as a napkin for wiping the face of the child clean. Because the fly, which would otherwise be discarded as waste material, is made to serve a. useful function in the construction of my bibette, a better and stronger product is thus obtained without significantly adding to the cost of its manufacture.
A modified form of my bibette viewed from the rear side is shown in Fig. 4. In this form of bibette the blank A is cut inwardly from its opposite side edges and thence arcuately to form the fly 5a connected to the blank along an unsevered portion 5b forming the lower portion of the neck opening. The fly 5a is folded along this portion into overlying face-to-face contact 'with the inner face of the blank, thus providing a backing for the bibette in the chest area located below the chin of the child and also having an additional reinforcing strip 50 extending substantially the full width of the bibette. This construction, while requiring somewhat more material, substantially increases the strength of the bibette as a. whole.
This modified form of bibette may be provided with a pocket (not shown) as described in con- 3 nection with the bibette of Fig. 1 and otherwise may incorporate the structural features of that bibette. I prefer to form the outer sheet I of my bibette of a soft and absorbent tissue type of paper which is non-irritating to the skin of an infant so that the bibette may be used for wiping the mouth of the child after feeding. It is not necessary that the bibette be formed of a plurality of layers of paper, although I prefer this construction, but the bibette may be made from a single sheet of p per of any suitable kind. The pocket may be constructed in any other manner from that already described, or it may be omitted altogether from th bibette, if desired.
Manifestly various other changes in the construction and design of the bibette described above may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention as defined by the following claims.
Iclaim:

A bibette comprising a blank of flexible paper having a fly partially cut therefrom along two lines of severance extending for a major portion of their length in generally the same direction and terminating a substantial distance inwardly from spaced points on the perimeteral edge of the blank, said fly being adapted to be folded into superposed relation with the body of the blank alon a line connecting the inner ends of the lines of severance and lying at an angle with respect thereto, and tie strings connected to the blank upon opposite sides of the fly, said fly being of such size as to overlie a substantial portion of the chest-covering area of the blank.
2. A bibette comprising a blank of flexible paper having top, bottom and side perimeteral edges, said blank having a fly partially cut therefrom along two lines of severance extending for a major portion of their length in generally the same direction, said fly being-of such size as to overlie a substantial portion of the chest-covering area of the blank a substantial distance inwardly of the blank, said fly being adapted to be folded into superposed relation with the body of the blank along a line connecting the inner ends of the lines of severance and lying at an angle with respect thereto, and bein of such size as to provide an increased thickness of material overlying a substantial portion of the chest area, and tie strings connected to the blank upon opposite sides of the fly.

6. A paper blank for bibettes, said blank being of generally rectangular shape and having top, bottom and side perimeteral edges, said blank having a fly partially cut therefrom along two convergently inclined lines of severance both extending from spaced points on the top perimeteral edge a substantial distance inwardly of the blank,
