Little cookies, little biscuits, little velcro

Abstract

Bib for small children, people with disabilities or the elderly, which is attached around the neck and, characterized in that the bib is reversibly fixed to the underside of a high chair or table by means of a device incorporated into the bib or attached to it (Velcro, magnets, etc.).

Description

A. Prior ArtThe invention relates to a bib for people of any age who are not always able to safely guide the cutlery to the mouth during eating. Such apparatus is known, for example, as bibs for use in eating and / or feeding children and nurses. The bibs known from the prior art have a protective section in the form of a fabric part, by means of which at least the region of the apparel to be protected from contaminants, i.e. generally the breast region, can be covered. The known bibs further comprise a fastening portion in the form of lacing straps or similar arrangements by which the bibs can be tied around the neck of the child or the caregiver.The bibs are intended to prevent food or liquids from getting onto the clothing of the children or the persons in need of care. Conventional bibs cover only a portion of the child or caregiver's clothing. Meanwhile, there are various kinds of bibs intended to fulfil their purpose. There are bibs which, like a type of pullover, are pulled over the entire child and therefore are intended to prevent any contamination. There are bibs which have a catch tray to prevent the food from getting on the floor and other structures. The prior art is described, inter alia, in US-2008 / 172768. EP 2 729 028 B1 describes a product with which the same is to be achieved as with the product described here. This is a flap which can be placed on the table by means of a friction-intensive structure and is thus intended to prevent food residue from dropping between the eating vessels and the table. The prior art likewise includes the product described in DE 10 2015 009 169. Here, however, the bib is fastened to the upper side of the table or high chair with the lower side of the bib. This entails the risk that objects on the table could get out of balance and the space on the table is reduced. In addition, it is not described there that or which components are incorporated into the shoe in order to ensure fixing. Without a corresponding device for fixing the bib, a secure connection by means of a hook and loop fastener or a magnet is not possible.B. The Problem Underlying the InventionDue to the nature of normal bibs, food often falls onto the ground between the eating house and the table / high chair. The clothing of the eating implement is also soiled, especially the under region of the upper body and the pants. This problem is particularly evident in liquid diets such as soups, milk mussels, mash, yoghurt and the like.The existing standard solutions can either not solve this problem at all or only insufficiently solve this problem, as described above. The solutions specially designed for this problem are either very complicated and extensive or do not provide sufficient protection against soiling of the type described above. Above all in the area of care for persons or children in need of help, efficiency and the avoidance of additional working steps are concerned. Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to develop an aesthetically pleasing solution which does not have its external impression that it gives a feeling that it is a working step more than a emotional dinner. Furthermore, neither the surface of the table nor the objects located thereon, such as cups, plates or bowls, should be impaired by the flap. Here, there is the risk that objects on the table will tip over or fall down due to an action of the eating implement on the bib.C. Solution of ProblemThe approach is to solve the above-described problem with a solution that is as simple and visually appealing as possible. This is not the foreground of 100 percent cleanliness-rather it is a cost and benefit of efficient solution. This is intended to achieve a significant reduction in the contamination during food intake with the least possible visible effort. In order to achieve this, the so-called clip (utility model described here) is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener or a magnet and is used together with the respective counterpart. The counterpart is fixed to the lower surface of the table or high chair by means of an adhesive tape or the like. Thus, if required, the user can connect the bib to the table in order to completely close the gap between the table and the eastern. The flask is large enough to form a cow which serves to collect food and liquids. In contrast to other solutions, however, the eating area of the eating implement is in no way restricted here. In particular, the invention described in DE 10 2015 009 169 can lead to further problems, since plates, cups or bowls can be tilted over or are too far from the eating end in order to ensure clean and comfortable food intake. In addition, the small block is made of a high-quality material which can absorb / suck in the food accordingly. The wedge is large enough to leave the eating implement sufficient freedom of movement and not to unnecessarily restrict him. On the other hand, an oversized design is avoided. The table area of the eating implement is neither optically nor actually impaired or restricted by the invention.D. Advantages ObtainedLow cost for the userthe space on the table is not reducedThe plates, cups or bowls required for eating cannot be pushed over or dropped by interaction with the inventionThe child / eastern can attach and release the bib (bib) itself to the table / high chairA large number of liquids and crumb are kept away from the clothes and the groundoptically appealing solution which is hardly different from a conventional flapThe flap can be used both as a flap connected to the table and as a normal flapSimple cleaning in the washing machineE. EmbodimentsFor better understanding, drawings are attached. Fig. 1 shows the bib in its shape and with the connector incorporated. FIG. 2 shows the connection of the bib to the table.References included in the specificationThis list of documents cited by the applicant has been produced in an automated manner and is only included for the better information of the reader.
