ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose bib for infants and children which includes a generally triangular-shaped, scarf-like panels constructed of a flexible fabric material such as terrycloth having an optional applique stitched or otherwise attached to the lower frontal area thereof. In a preferred embodiment, opposite apex portions of the bib are fitted with connecting loop and pile elements, respectively, of a loop-pile fastener and the third, downwardly-extending apex portion of the bib receives the optional applique. Accordingly, the bib is capable of being placed around an infant's neck with the loop and pile elements attached and the applique facing outwardly. The bib can then be shaped to flatten the top margin or frontal neck portion between the two fastening apex portions, in order to capture saliva. Furthermore, the downwardly-extending apex of the bib can be turned upwardly in a fold which retains the apex in an upwardly and outwardly-extending configuration. The applique may be provided above the apex of the bib, wherein the fold either creases the applique or extends across the bib immediately above the applique, with the applique acting as a stiffening member, to catch food particles while the infant is eating.
