ABSTRACT:
The collapsible, pop-out bib of the present invention includes a lower bowl section to catch food or beverage spills. Said lower bowl section comprises a guide sewn into it's upper edge, this guide is created by either a simple fold in the web material's fabric, or by attaching a fabric tape or bias tape to the upper edge of the lower bowl section and continues around the entire perimeter of the lower bowl section's upper edge. The bib of claim also comprises an enlongated flexible spring material that is inserted into said upper edge guide to continue around the entire perimeter of the lower bowl section's upper edge. Said spring material comprises a male/female connector on opposing ends that enable the ends to be fastened together to form a large single-looped configuration, thereby creating tension on the periphery of the upper edge of said bowl, which holds the bowl out and open to catch spills. Said bib is reversibly collapsible by twisting the spring material out of it's plane to form ann odd numbered multi-looped configuration, resulting in a relatively small and convenient storage size.
