Abstract
A bib has a main body with a front surface and a pouch provided at a lower end of the main body contiguous with the front surface for collecting solids and/or liquids dropped by the user during use of the bib. The main body is provided with first connecting members at an upper end for removably connecting the bib around the user's neck. The pouch is provided with second connecting members for removably connecting the pouch to a connecting surface during use of the bib. The bib is provided with means for facilitating attachment of the pouch to the connecting surface by the second connecting members during use of the bib by allowing the pouch to extend out and be maintained open and in a proper orientation for collecting dropped solids and/or liquids.
Claims21
A bib comprising:
- a main body having a front surface;
- first connecting means provided at an upper end of the main body for removably connecting the bib around a user's neck;
