Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of infant care products technology, specifically to a bib that prevents allergies to umbilical cord adhesive. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pediatric umbilical patches (such as topical patches for relieving common ailments like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and colds) are typically applied directly to the navel and surrounding skin using medical tape or pressure-sensitive adhesive. These patches rely on adhesives for fixation, allowing the medication to penetrate the skin and exert its effects. However, the following problems exist in practical applications:

[0003] 1. High risk of allergies: Infants' skin is delicate and highly sensitive to the chemical components (such as acrylates, rubber tackifiers, etc.) in adhesive tape or pressure-sensitive adhesive, which can easily cause redness, swelling, itching, papules or even erosion of the skin around the navel. This not only affects the treatment effect, but may also cause parents to be reluctant to use navel patches due to repeated allergies.

[0004] 2. Insecure fixation: Infants and young children are frequently active (such as rolling over, crawling, crying, etc.), and their sweat and sebum secretion is vigorous, which can easily cause the umbilical patch to shift or fall off, requiring frequent replacement. This not only increases the cost of care, but may also damage the skin barrier due to repeated tearing of the adhesive.

[0005] 3. Poor breathability: The area covered by the adhesive tape has insufficient breathability, which can easily create a local hot and humid environment, breeding bacteria or fungi. This may induce secondary infections, especially in premature infants or children with eczema, affecting the health of the umbilical skin.

[0006] 4. Insufficient comfort: The edge of the adhesive tape can easily cause mechanical irritation due to friction with the skin. Long-term wear may lead to skin abrasion or contact dermatitis. Some infants and young children may cry and resist due to discomfort, reducing treatment compliance.

[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for an umbilical cord patch fixing aid specifically designed for infants and young children. This aid should not only isolate the adhesive from direct contact with the skin but also ensure a secure fit, while simultaneously maintaining breathability and comfort. Based on this, this technology proposes a bib designed to prevent umbilical cord patch adhesive allergies in infants. Through the design of natural blended fabric, an adhesive-free fixing structure, and a slow-release antibacterial layer, it significantly reduces the risk of allergies and improves safety and convenience of use. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The technical problems this invention aims to solve are: high risk of allergies (adhesive components easily cause skin redness, itching, and even ulceration), unstable fixation (easily falls off due to activity or sweat, requiring frequent replacement), poor breathability (the sealed environment of the adhesive tape breeds bacteria), and insufficient comfort (the adhesive tape irritates the skin due to friction). By designing a belly band structure that isolates the adhesive from the skin, combined with breathable antibacterial fabric and adhesive-free fixation technology, this invention significantly reduces the risk of allergies, enhances fixation stability, and improves wearing comfort while ensuring the effective penetration of the umbilical patch's medication.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a bib to prevent umbilical cord adhesive allergy in children, characterized in that: it includes a bib body made of a blend of 65% pure cotton and 35% modal, with the inner layer being a Tencel fiber skin-friendly fabric containing 3%-5% peppermint extract; the bib body is provided with a ring structure, the edges of which are formed and bound using ultrasonic heat cutting technology, for placing medicinal materials; a square pocket covering the ring structure is sewn on one side of the bib body, the pocket edge is made of three-line overlock seamless stitching, and the stitching thread is corn fiber stitching thread; the diameter of the circular ring of the ring structure is 1cm-3cm.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the ring structure is one of the following three forms:

[0011] Single loop design: A single circular loop located in the center of the pocket, 1.5cm from the edge of the pocket;

[0012] Three-ring configuration: Three circular rings with a diameter of 2cm are arranged equidistantly in the vertical direction, with a distance of 4cm between adjacent centers;

[0013] Five-ring pattern: Five circular rings are symmetrically distributed in a cross shape, with the central ring having a diameter of 3cm and the four surrounding rings having a diameter of 2cm.

[0014] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the bib body is a closed elastic bib, which is sewn with parallel lines with a horizontal spacing of 1.2cm and the sewing tension is ≤0.6N; or it is a strip bib, with a female Velcro with a width of 5cm on one side and a corresponding female Velcro on the other side, the total length of the Velcro being 1 / 3 of the circumference of the bib.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention: the waist opening of the closed elastic bib has a built-in medical-grade silicone anti-slip strip with a width of 2cm; the Velcro contact surface of the strip bib adopts a honeycomb breathable structure.

[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention: the top of the pocket is provided with an arc-shaped opening, and a flexible plastic support strip is built into the opening; the umbilical adhesive is placed into the pocket through the opening, the medicine is placed in the circular ring, and it is attached to the body of the bellyband. The medicinal material placed in the circular structure includes a composition of 1-15 grams of perilla extract, 1-15 grams of tangerine peel extract, and 1-15 grams of mugwort extract.

[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention, its manufacturing process includes:

[0018] S1. Fabric pretreatment: Blended fabrics are immersed in plant dyes at 55℃ for 25 minutes and then rinsed to pH 6.5; Tencel fabrics are soaked in 4% peppermint extract at 38℃ for 1.5 hours.

[0019] S2. Cutting and sewing: The 0.18mm stitch length binding ring structure is used, and the neck and waist seams are reinforced with a cross stitch method.

[0020] As a further aspect of the present invention: the inner surface of the belly band has a 0.1 mm thick microcapsule sustained-release layer containing an antibacterial film formed by curing 0.08% tea polyphenol solution.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0022] 1. Effectively reduces the risk of allergies:

[0023] Made with a blend of 65% pure cotton and 35% modal fabric, combined with a skin-soothing inner layer of Tencel fiber containing peppermint extract, it reduces irritation to infants' and young children's skin.

[0024] The loop structure and pocket design isolate the umbilical patch adhesive from direct contact with the skin, avoiding problems such as redness, swelling, and itching caused by adhesive allergies.

[0025] 2. Securely fixed and not easily detached:

[0026] The ultrasonic hot-cutting edge-wrapping process enhances the durability of the ring structure and ensures a stable fit of the umbilical cord patch.

[0027] You can choose between a closed elastic belly band or a Velcro strip belly band to fit different body types and reduce shifting or falling off due to activity or sweating.

[0028] 3. Breathable and comfortable, reducing skin irritation:

[0029] Honeycomb-shaped breathable Velcro and microcapsule-coated slow-release antibacterial layer (containing tea polyphenols) reduce heat and moisture buildup, lowering the risk of bacterial growth.

[0030] Medical-grade silicone anti-slip strips prevent the belly band from sliding and avoid friction damage to the skin.

[0031] 4. Multifunctional compatibility enhances the user experience:

[0032] The three types of patches—single-loop, three-loop, and five-loop—can be adapted to different medication dosage requirements, facilitating precise application.

[0033] The curved opening and flexible plastic support strip make it easy to insert the umbilical cord patch, reducing the discomfort of pulling during replacement.

[0034] 5. Safe and environmentally friendly, suitable for infants and young children:

[0035] Corn fiber stitching and plant dyeing processes ensure no harmful chemical residues.

[0036] Natural medicinal herbs such as perilla, dried tangerine peel, and mugwort can be used to assist in conditioning and enhance the therapeutic effect of umbilical patches. Attached Figure Description
