ABSTRACT:
A bib having a body member which obviates refastenable application of a tape-tab fastener directly to the front surface of the body member. The bib is provided with a duplex refastenable tape-tab fastener open by non-releasably securing a separability member on each side of a cut which extends from a neck-accommodating aperture in the body member to an adjacent outer edge of the bib; and by bridging the cut with an adhesive-faced tape-tab fastener by securing each of its oppositely disposed end portions to a separability member. The tape-tab fastener is said to be duplex by virtue of the construction enabling either end of the tape-tab to be peeled from its respective separability member: that is, both ends of the tape-tab fastener are refastenable. In a preferred disposable embodiment wherein the sheet material of the body member is a laminate comprising a topsheet lamina of relatively low tensile strength paper, the separability members are configured to have substantially greater areas than the ends of the tape-tab fastener in order to provide stress distribution between the tape-tab ends and the paper topsheet lamina; and to enable the bib to be fitted to a range of neck sizes. This construction also substantially obviates potential delamination of the topsheet lamina from the backsheet lamina due to imposing high stresses on the tape-tab fastener.
