  • Patent number: 9814277
    Abstract: A bib and corresponding mounting clip are disclosed. A bib body may include one or more of an upper reinforcement member, a plurality of body reinforcement members, and a plurality of pocket reinforcement members. The upper reinforcement facilitates having the bib body be suspended from the mounting clip at a single location or region. The plurality of body reinforcement members allows the bib body to be shaped to “funnel” food particles and the like, for instance into a pocket incorporated by the bib body. The plurality of pocket reinforcement members may be used to retain such a pocket in an open configuration.

  • Patent number: 9468242
    Abstract: A bib assembly is disclosed, and includes a bib and a neck strap. The bib includes a bib body having a pair of strap connectors. The neck strap includes a pair of bib body connectors. One bib body connector (neck strap) is detachably connectable with one of the strap connectors (bib body). Another bib body connector (neck strap) is detachably connectable with the other of the strap connectors (bib body). At least two different coupling locations are possible between each bib body connector on the neck strap and its corresponding strap connector on the bib body to change a length of a loop that extends beyond a top edge of the bib body, all when the neck strap is detachably connected to the bib body.

  • Publication number: 20110025107
    Abstract: A system operable to detachably secure a bib to a restraint device (e.g. a strap in a vehicle). The system may include a clip having a strap section and a bib section that are rotatably interconnected. As such, the strap and bib sections may be rotated relative to each other in order to for a bib (engaged by the bib section) to hang in a desired position. The strap and bib section may be adapted to respectively detachably mount a strap and a bib. In one embodiment, a retention force between the strap section and a strap may be selected from the mechanical devices, magnetic devices, and combinations of mechanical and magnetic devices.

  • Publication number: 20100045078
    Abstract: A portable seating device (100?) is disclosed that has a seat (104?) with one or more internal storage compartments (224/230). The seat (104?) includes an upper seat section (108?) that may be pivoted away from a platform (112?) to access one or more storage compartments (224) on a lower surface of the upper seat section (108?) and to access one or more storage compartments (230) on an upper surface of the platform (112?). The platform (112?) is rotatably interconnected with a base (152). A backrest assembly (127) is appropriately interconnected with the seat (104?), and a stand (172) is detachably interconnected with the base (152) to accommodate multiple configurations for the portable seating device (100?). Preferably, the backrest assembly (127) is movable between stowed and deployed positions, and includes one or more adjustment features when in its deployed position.

  • Patent number: 7125079
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable seating device (e.g., portable stadium seat) that includes a seat and a backrest movably interconnected with the seat, and that is generally positionable in both stowed and deployed positions. The backrest also may be selectively movable toward and/or away from the seat, at least when the device is in the deployed position. One embodiment of the device may include a base that is interfacable with a supporting surface on which the device is to be supported, and a mechanism for rotatably interconnecting the seat with the base. Accordingly, the seat may be rotatable relative to the base. Another embodiment of the device may include a stand having a first end that is detachably interconnectable with the seat and/or base, and a second end that may be spaced from the base and interfacable with the supporting surface on which the device is to be supported.

  • Patent number: 4497364
    Abstract: A solid anhydrous composition comprising a surface layer formed of a caustic compound and a second layer formed of a corrosion inhibiting compound for use in a corrodible container in a device for the automatic addition of corrosion inhibitors to coolant systems. Where corrosive water is present in the coolant system in contact with the corrodible portion of the container, perforation of the corrodible portion allows penetration of coolant into the container, forming a highly corrosive alkaline solution in the area of perforation, quickly destroying the remaining corrodible portion and allowing rapid disolution and dispersion of the solid corrosion inhibitor.
