  • Patent number: 5930836
    Abstract: This bib is designed to use the infrastructure already in place for the production, packaging, distribution, retailing and dispensing of a paper towel. A suggested bib material is a layer of paper toweling for absorbency with a plastic film backing for moisture protection. A suggested packaging is a roll of rectangular-shaped bibs having the same diameter and width as a roll of paper toweling. This enables the bib to be produced with existing technology and results in a roll of bibs that fits a standard paper towel holder and dispenses bibs in the same tear-off manner. The bib features a reusable attachment at the neck that accommodates different neck sizes and desired closeness of fit yet releases easily to eliminate a choking hazard. This also allows one size to fit children and adults. The bib also features a fold-up pocket at the bottom to catch and retain solid and liquid spills. These features plus the easy on, easy off and reusability add up to a low-cost, high performance product.
