  • Bib
    Patent number: 5504941
    Abstract: An easy-to-clean bib comprises a body, preferably made of a durable, flexible and non-porous material, and has a front and a back. The material is easy to clean and does not allow liquid to leak through as opposed to some bibs that are made of paper, plastic or similar light materials. The body includes two upper sections for placement on opposite sides of a user's neck. The upper sections include cooperative fasteners that fasten the upper sections together and thereby cause a portion of the bib body to bow outwardly in order to conform to the user's chest to help prevent particles and liquid from falling under the bib and onto the user. The bib body further includes a lower section for forming a temporary pouch. The pouch is formed by folding each of two lower comer portions up towards the front of the body and fastening a bottom piece of a cooperative fastener to its corresponding top piece and then fastening a bottom piece of a second cooperative fastener to its corresponding top piece.
