Abstract
A material receiving and retaining bib and quick attachable/detachable frame assembly for positioning the bib in a desired location for receipt of material (i.e. varnish, cleaners, paints, etc.) which may run off of a surface being treated. The frame assembly includes a plurality of frame members attached to the surface. The retaining bib is held in place by the frame member. The bib is positioned such that it will catch and retain excess materials falling from the object being serviced such as, but not limited to, a wooden rail or any another item of the marine vessel.
Claims20
An attachment assembly for positioning a bib with respect to a marine vessel or other object for use to catch falling material or liquid being applied to a marine vessel, said attachment assembly comprising:
- at least one pair of frame members, wherein each pair of frame members comprising a first frame member and a second frame member;
- each frame member having a first end and a second end and a substantially inwardly curved shaped top supporting surface disposed between said first end and said second end;
- wherein the first frame member and the second frame member are attached to a marine vessel in a spaced apart position from each other, wherein the attachment of each frame member to said marine vessel is non-invasive to an area of the marine vessel where the frame member is attached;
- and
- a bib member having a first portion attached to and disposed on the top supporting surface of said first frame member and a second portion attached to and disposed on the top supporting surface of said second frame member, said bib member retained and supported in position by said first frame member and said second frame member with respect to the marine vessel;
- wherein the attachment of the bib member to the inwardly curved shaped top supporting surfaces of said first frame member and said second frame member creates a curved catch area for said bib member which catches falling material or liquid being applied to the marine vessel and prevents the caught falling material or liquid from escaping into a surrounding area.

- at least one pair of frame members, wherein each pair of frame members comprising a first frame member and a second frame member;
- each frame member having a first end and a second end and a substantially inwardly curved shaped top supporting surface disposed between said first end and said second end;
- a first mounting bracket attached in a non-invasive manner to a marine vessel, said first frame member removably attached to said first mounting bracket;
- a second mounting bracket attached in a non-invasive manner to the marine vessel in a spaced relationship from said first mounting bracket, said second frame member removably attached to said mounting bracket;
- and
- a bib member having a first portion attached to and disposed on the top supporting surface of said first frame member and a second portion attached to and disposed on the top supporting surface of said second frame member, said bib member retained and supported in position by said first frame member and said second frame member with respect to the marine vessel;
- wherein the attachment of the bib member to the inwardly curved shaped top supporting surfaces of said first frame member and said second frame member creates a curved catch area for said bib member which catches falling material or liquid being applied to the marine vessel and prevents the caught falling material or liquid from escaping into a surrounding area.
