ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to baby bibs and more particularly to a combination garment bib system that includes a bib portion that is attachable to a garment portion; the garment portion including a shirt garment having a neck opening and being constructed of absorbent garment material, an impermeable layer being provided around the front of the neck opening beneath the garment material and a number of garment hook and pile fastener tabs being spaced and provided around the front of the neck opening on the exterior surface of the garment material; the bib portion having an absorbent top layer backed by a fluid impermeable layer to which a number of bib hook and pile fastener sections are attached and spaced such that the bib hook and pile fastener sections correspond to and simultaneously companionately connect with the garment hook and pile fastener tabs to hold the bib portion in place during use.
BACKGROUND ART
It is often desirable to have a bib when feeding a small infant or child. Because the bibs can twist around and be moved by the child, it would be a benefit to have a combination garment bib system that included a garment having an absorbent layer backed by a fluid impermeable layer positioned in front of the neck opening of the garment and a bib having an absorbent layer backed by a fluid impermeable layer that could be attached to the garment at the front of the neck opening such that the bib provides the primary protection while the garment provides an addition protective element.
GENERAL SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF INVENTION
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a combination garment bib system that includes a bib portion that is attachable to a garment portion; the garment portion including a shirt garment having a neck opening and being constructed of absorbent garment material, an impermeable layer being provided around the front of the neck opening beneath the garment material and a number of garment hook and pile fastener tabs being spaced and provided around the front of the neck opening on the exterior surface of the garment material; the bib portion having an absorbent top layer backed by a fluid impermeable layer to which a number of bib hook and pile fastener sections are attached and spaced such that the bib hook and pile fastener sections correspond to and simultaneously companionately connect with the garment hook and pile fastener tabs to hold the bib portion in place during use.
Accordingly, a combination garment bib system is provided. The combination garment bib system includes a bib portion that is attachable to a garment portion; the garment portion including a shirt garment having a neck opening and being constructed of absorbent garment material, an impermeable layer being provided around the front of the neck opening beneath the garment material and a number of garment hook and pile fastener tabs being spaced and provided around the front of the neck opening on the exterior surface of the garment material; the bib portion having an absorbent top layer backed by a fluid impermeable layer to which a number of bib hook and pile fastener sections are attached and spaced such that the bib hook and pile fastener sections correspond to and simultaneously companionately connect with the garment hook and pile fastener tabs to hold the bib portion in place during use.
