Description

[0001] Bibs to protect clothing and / or the body

[0002] The present invention relates to a bib, in particular for protecting clothing and / or the body from soiling, preferably of a baby and / or toddler.

[0003] It is well known that bibs are used to protect clothing and / or a person's body from soiling. Bibs are particularly common for babies, toddlers, and / or people requiring care during meals to protect them from spilled food. However, bibs can also be used by people of all ages during activities with an increased risk of soiling, such as cooking, painting, crafts, or similar tasks.

[0004] Wearing bibs can be perceived as bothersome and / or restrictive of movement, which limits the acceptance and frequency of bibs' use.

[0005] Against the background outlined above, the present invention was based on the objective of providing a bib that offers a high level of wearing comfort while simultaneously providing a high level of protection against soiling of clothing and / or the body. This objective has been achieved by a bib according to claim 1 and by a bib according to claim 55 and claim 58. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims. A bib according to the invention is designed to protect clothing and / or the body from soiling, such as crumbs, liquids, or the like, particularly of a baby or toddler.

[0006] Such a bib has a basic body that covers the clothing and / or body of the person to be protected, at least partially and / or section by section.

[0007] A bib according to the invention further comprises a protective layer for repelling and / or sealing against liquids and / or contaminants, wherein the protective layer is arranged only on a partial area and / or only on a partial section of the base body.

[0008] The inventive design of the bib allows for a high level of wearing comfort, thereby increasing the acceptance of such bibs. The sections and / or areas of the main body that lack a protective layer offer the user a particularly high level of comfort. In particular, these areas of the main body without a protective layer resemble the properties of normal clothing, thus enhancing comfort. Due to this improved comfort, the bib is more readily accepted, used more frequently, and can therefore lead to less overall soiling of clothing and / or the body. At the same time, the amount of protective layer required can be reduced, resulting in cost savings.

[0009] The protective layer can preferably be bonded to the base body by form-fitting, force-fit, and / or material bonding. For example, the protective layer can be sewn to the base body. It is also possible for the protective layer to be designed as a coating and applied to a section of the base body. Such a coating can, for instance, be applied in liquid form and then dried, or it can be bonded on. According to a preferred embodiment of the bib, the protective layer can be water-repellent and / or waterproof. This can significantly reduce and / or prevent the penetration of liquids through the protective layer. Protection against liquid contamination can thus be further improved.

[0010] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can be applied to an inner surface of the base body. When worn, the protective layer then faces the body of the person to be protected and is not visible from the outside, which is perceived as visually appealing by the user, thus further increasing the acceptance of the bib.

[0011] In the context of the present invention, the term "wearing condition" means a condition in which the bib is worn properly to protect clothing and / or the body.

[0012] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can be applied to an outer surface of the base body. When worn, the protective layer is then turned away from the body of the person to be protected and is visible from the outside and easily accessible for cleaning purposes, even when worn.

[0013] According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the protective layer can be applied exclusively to an outer surface of the base body, or a protective layer can be applied or arranged exclusively on an outer surface. In particular, an inner surface of the base body, i.e., an inner surface facing the person being protected when worn, can be free of a protective layer, or free of protective layers and / or free of waterproof or water-repellent layers. This ensures a robust and overall cost-effective design while maintaining good wearing comfort.According to another preferred embodiment, the protective layer can be applied exclusively to one side of the base body, in particular either to the outside or the inside of the base body. The other side of the base body can be free of a protective layer. This ensures a robust and cost-effective design while simultaneously guaranteeing adequate protection.

[0014] According to a further preferred embodiment, a protective layer can be applied to both sides of the base body, in particular to both the outside and the inside of the base body. Such a multi-layered design further improves the protection.

[0015] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can be applied to less than 50%, more preferably less than 40%, more preferably less than 30%, and more preferably less than 20% of the base body, particularly its inner surface, based on its total area. These percentages preferably refer to the total surface area of ​​the unstretched and / or unstressed base body. The protective layer is then applied to less than half of the inner surface of the base body. Due to the small area to which the protective layer is applied, a comfortable feel for the user can be achieved.

[0016] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can be continuous and form a single, continuous protective area. Alternatively, the protective layer can form several separate protective areas. The bib can thus be easily and individually adapted to different applications during manufacturing by positioning one or more protective areas. In a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can have a protective coating, wherein the protective coating comprises polyurethane, wax, and / or a water-repellent coating, particularly a sprayed-on coating. A protective coating of this type offers particularly good protection against liquid substances and / or contaminants.

[0017] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can comprise a protective coating, in particular a waterproof or water-repellent laminated protective coating. The protective coating can be formed as a polymer film, in particular as a polymer film laminate layer, preferably made of polyurethane and / or containing polyurethane. The protective coating can also be thermally bonded to the protective layer, in particular to a fabric layer of the protective layer. Such a protective coating can be produced with minimal manufacturing effort and ensures a high degree of durability during the continuous use of the bib.

[0018] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can be arranged on an outer and / or front surface of the protective layer and / or be thermally bonded. The protective layer can be arranged on an outer and / or front surface of the protective layer facing away from the base body and / or be thermally bonded, in particular exclusively on the outer and / or front surface of the protective layer. Thus, preferably, such a protective layer can be provided exclusively on an outer and / or front surface of the protective layer. In particular, an inner surface of the base body can be free of such a protective layer.

[0019] The protective layer of the bib can itself form an outer and / or front surface. This means that the protective layer of the bib can form an outer and / or front surface that, when worn, faces away from the body of the person being protected. This reliably prevents moisture from penetrating deeper layers of the bib's fabric. At the same time, the protective layer, which is only applied to a portion of the bib's body, ensures a largely comfortable feel, as direct contact between the bib and the protective layer is minimized.

[0020] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer, in particular the protective coating of the protective layer, can have a smooth and / or liquid-impermeable surface on an outer surface and / or front side facing away from the base body and / or be washable and / or rinseable. In particular, the protective coating of the protective layer can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth, and especially can be cleaned without leaving any residue. Likewise, the protective coating of the protective layer can be dried by wiping, for example, by wiping with an absorbent object. In the event of soiling of the bib in the area of ​​the protective coating, this ensures particularly easy cleaning and reuse without a separate washing process.

[0021] The protective layer can have a basis weight of more than 15 g / m². 2 , preferably of more than 20 g / m² 2, preferably of more than 22 g / m² 2 , and / or of less than 35 g / m² 2 , preferably less than 30 g / m² 2 , preferably of less than 28 g / m² 2 exhibiting. Particularly preferably, the basis weight is at least substantially 25 g / m². 2 By forming the protective layer with appropriate basis weights, particularly good water-repellent and / or waterproof properties can be achieved, thus providing particularly good protection against especially liquid contaminants.

[0022] Within the scope of the present invention, the term "area weight" always refers to the unprocessed, unstretched and / or unstruck material and / or the unprocessed, unstretched and / or unstruck layer. In a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer may comprise a fabric layer, in particular terry cloth. The protective layer may have an area weight of more than 100 g / m².2 , preferably of more than 120 g / m² 2 , preferably of more than 140 g / m² 2 , and / or of less than 210 g / m² 2 , preferably less than 190 g / m² 2 , preferably of less than 170 g / m² 2 In particular, the protective layer can have a surface weight of at least substantially between 150 g / m². 2 and 160 g / m² 2 exhibit. In this embodiment, the protective layer can be sewn and / or glued to the base body, thereby creating a particularly strong connection between the protective layer and the base body.

[0023] The fabric layer is positioned on the outer surface of the protective layer. The protective layer can be applied to the fabric layer or vice versa. Specifically, the fabric layer can be positioned on the side of the protective layer facing away from the base fabric. Fabric layers containing terry cloth are perceived as particularly pleasant to the touch. This further improves the feel of the bib in the area of ​​the protective layer, thereby increasing both comfort and acceptance.

[0024] The fabric layer can also be positioned between the base body and the protective layer. Such a fabric layer has a high absorption capacity for liquids, which further improves protection against contamination.

[0025] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can comprise a fabric layer consisting of or containing jersey, wherein such a protective layer preferably has a basis weight of more than 100 g / m². 2 , preferably of more than 120 g / m² 2 , preferably of more than 140 g / m² 2 , and / or of less than 210 g / m² 2 , preferably less than 190 g / m² 2 , preferably of less than 170 g / m² 2 , and / or of at least substantially between 150 g / m² 2 and 160 g / m² 2The protective layer can be sewn and / or glued to the base body in this embodiment, resulting in a particularly strong bond between the protective layer and the base body. Furthermore, by using appropriate basis weights for the protective layer, excellent lamination with the respective protective layer can be ensured. As a result, particularly good water-repellent and / or waterproof properties can be achieved, providing reliable protection against liquid contaminants and liquids.

[0026] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can comprise a fabric layer consisting of or containing terry cloth. Likewise, the protective layer can comprise a fabric layer generally consisting of or containing cotton.

[0027] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer, consisting of a fabric layer made of or containing jersey, or of terry cloth, or generally of cotton, can be applied to an outer surface, particularly a terry cloth surface, of the base body, and in particular can be sewn on. Such a design ensures particularly advantageous protection against soiling and prevents the penetration of dirt, liquid, and / or moisture into deeper fabric layers during wear.

[0028] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can be thermally bonded to the jersey, terry cloth, or cotton front of the protective layer, particularly to the jersey front of the fabric layer made of or containing jersey. Preferably, the jersey or terry cloth front of the protective layer and / or the protective layer itself can face away from the outer surface of the base body and / or form an outer surface. This allows for an overall robust construction of the bib, a high degree of ease of handling, and simple cleaning of the front of the bib, especially in the area of ​​the protective layer, with minimal effort.

[0029] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can be provided with a protective layer edging strip, in particular with a piping. The protective layer edging strip and / or the piping can extend at least partially or completely around the protective layer and / or enclose and / or seal the edge of the protective layer. In this way, the protective layer can be particularly well protected, and its durability can be improved. Such a design also contributes to better tactile properties, namely when the edge area is touched by a user of the bib.

[0030] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer binding tape and / or the piping can be made of or comprise jersey, in particular with a basis weight of more than 100 g / m². 2 or less than 200 g / m² 2 or from 150 g / m² 2 or of substantially 150 g / m² 2Furthermore, the protective layer binding tape and / or piping can have a visible width, particularly a width after sewing, of between 1 mm and 6 mm, preferably between 2 mm and 5 mm, or between 3 mm and 5 mm, or 4 mm, or substantially 4 mm. Such a protective layer binding tape and / or piping can provide suitable protection for the protective layer and can be supplied with minimal effort.

[0031] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can be sewn to the base body along the protective layer binding tape and / or along the piping. This creates a particularly secure connection between the protective layer and the base body. Furthermore, such sewing simultaneously establishes a connection between the protective layer and the base body on the one hand, and between the protective layer binding tape or piping and the protective layer on the other. According to a preferred embodiment, the base body can have a front protective section to protect the front of the body from contamination, wherein the protective layer is located in the front protective section. The protective layer is preferably arranged only on a portion of the front protective section.In this way, the front protective section can shield an area on the front of the body that is particularly susceptible to contamination. This allows for a high level of protection.

[0032] In a further preferred manner, the protective layer in the wearing state can extend downwards or in a caudal direction from an upper end of the front protective section, thereby providing reliable protection against contamination.

[0033] Alternatively or additionally, the protective layer can have a width of more than 16 cm, preferably more than 18 cm, more preferably more than 20 cm, and / or less than 28 cm, preferably less than 26 cm, more preferably less than 24 cm, and / or at least substantially 22 cm. Alternatively or additionally, the protective layer can have a length of more than 20 cm, preferably more than 25 cm, more preferably more than 30 cm, and / or less than 43 cm, preferably less than 38 cm, more preferably less than 33 cm, and / or at least substantially 31.5 cm. The aforementioned dimensions provide particularly reliable protection against contamination.

[0034] It can be advantageous if the garment has a collar for securing it around the neck. When worn correctly, collars are perceived as pleasant to the touch, which can further enhance wearing comfort.

[0035] Preferably, the collar can have a height of more than 2 cm, preferably more than 2.5 cm, more preferably more than 3 cm, and / or less than 5 cm, preferably less than 4.5 cm, more preferably less than 4 cm, and / or in particular at least substantially 3.5 cm. Collars designed in this way are perceived as particularly visually appealing, which can further improve the acceptance of the bib.

[0036] According to a further preferred embodiment, the collar can have a collar width of more than 25 cm, preferably more than 26 cm, more preferably more than 27 cm, and / or less than 31 cm, preferably less than 30 cm, more preferably less than 29 cm, and in particular at least substantially 28 cm. The collar can then fit snugly against the neck or neck area in a manner that is perceived as particularly comfortable.

[0037] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can be arranged on the collar, thereby providing particularly reliable protection to an area of ​​the clothing and / or body that is especially susceptible to soiling. Alternatively or additionally, the collar can be at least partially free of the protective layer, resulting in a particularly comfortable feel for the user. The collar can then be adapted to the specific application.

[0038] According to a further preferred embodiment, the collar can be made of a 1x1 rib knit fabric. Such a fabric exhibits high elasticity and is therefore particularly suitable for collars. Furthermore, a 1x1 rib knit fabric ensures high dimensional stability, meaning it hardly stretches out despite its elasticity, and it has a high degree of visual appeal on both sides, in particular a clear, classic knit pattern or a uniform rib structure.

[0039] According to a further preferred embodiment, the collar can be made of a fabric with a basis weight between 200 g / m². 2 up to 300 g / m² 2 or between 250 g / m² 2 up to 270 g / m² 2 It should be well-designed. A suitably designed collar is perceived as particularly pleasant to the touch, further improving wearing comfort.

[0040] According to a further preferred embodiment, the base body can have a rear protective section to protect the back of the body. A correspondingly designed base body also advantageously protects the back of the body from contamination.

[0041] Preferably, the rear protective section can be formed by two protective elements, each of which is connected to the front protective section and each has a free end. In this way, an opening can be provided in the area of ​​the rear protective section through which the bib can be put on like an inside-out shirt. The bib can thus be put on in a particularly simple manner.

[0042] In a further preferred embodiment, the protective elements, particularly the free ends, can overlap at least partially when worn. This overlap ensures a secure fit of the bib when worn. In the overlap area, the rear protective section can provide particularly reliable protection against contamination.

[0043] According to a further preferred embodiment, the rear protective section can have a connecting device for joining the two protective elements. In this way, the opening between the two protective elements can be closed, thereby reducing the risk of the bib slipping and / or preventing it from slipping.

[0044] Preferably, the fastening device may have at least one snap fastener, button fastener, zipper, magnetic fastener, hook and loop fastener and / or drawstring fastener. Such fasteners are particularly reliable, allow for particularly easy handling and can be opened and closed multiple times.

[0045] In a further preferred embodiment, the connecting device can comprise at least two components consisting of a snap fastener, button fastener, hook and loop fastener, and / or at least one zipper and / or hook and loop fastener, wherein the connecting device is arranged horizontally when worn. This allows for a particularly visually appealing appearance of the connecting device.

[0046] For example, the connecting device could have two button closures arranged horizontally next to each other when worn. Alternatively, it is also possible for the connecting device to have a zipper that is arranged horizontally when worn.

[0047] In a further preferred embodiment, the connecting device can comprise a first connecting element and a second connecting element. Particularly preferably, the first connecting element is assigned to one protective element and the second connecting element to the other protective element. In this way, a particularly reliable and easy-to-create connection between the two protective elements can be achieved.

[0048] For example, one protective element may have a button and the other protective element may have a complementary buttonhole.

[0049] According to a preferred embodiment, the base body can have a size adjustment device for adjusting the size of the bib, in particular the bib circumference. The bib can then be adjusted to the person to be protected in a particularly simple and reliable manner. Such a bib can be used for people of different sizes, thus giving it a wide range of applications. Thanks to the size adjustment device, the bib can "grow" with a person, especially a baby, toddler, and / or child.

[0050] Advantageously, the connecting device can be part of the size adjustment device. In this way, the size adjustment device can be designed as a multifunctional component that, in addition to connecting the two back sections, also performs the function of size adjustment.

[0051] Preferably, the size adjustment device can comprise the first and second connecting elements and additionally at least one further component consisting of the first and second connecting elements. In this way, the size of the bib can be adjusted with particularly little material.

[0052] In a further preferred embodiment, the size adjustment device can be arranged horizontally when worn. In this way, the circumference of the bib can be adjusted to the person, thereby improving wearing comfort.

[0053] For example, one protective element can have a button, and the other can have two complementary buttonholes arranged horizontally next to each other, particularly when worn. The size of the bib, especially its circumference in a transverse plane relative to its position when worn, can be adjusted by choosing the buttonhole configuration.

[0054] According to a preferred embodiment, the main body can have at least one, and in particular exactly two, sleeves for at least partially enclosing the arms. The sleeves allow the protected area of ​​the clothing and / or body to be increased, thereby improving the protective effect and further enhancing wearing comfort. Preferably, the protective layer can extend in the caudal direction at least to the base of the sleeve and / or beyond, thus reliably protecting an area with a particularly high risk of soiling.

[0055] Preferably, the sleeve may have a circumference of more than 15 cm and / or less than 19 cm and / or at least substantially 17 cm, thereby creating a particularly comfortable feel and improving wearing comfort.

[0056] In a further preferred manner, the sleeve may have a distal extension of more than 7 cm and / or less than 20 cm, thereby achieving a particularly comfortable feel in the sleeve area.

[0057] In a further preferred embodiment, the sleeve can have a cuff, in particular a knitted cuff, at its distal end. Cuffs prevent the sleeve from riding up or down and are therefore perceived as particularly comfortable to wear, thus improving the overall comfort of the bib. In a further preferred embodiment, the cuff can be made of cotton and / or be made of 100% cotton and / or be made of a single yarn, preferably combed, in particular wherein the single yarn has a length by weight of at least substantially 30 m / g. Cuffs designed accordingly are perceived as particularly comfortable, which further improves the overall comfort.

[0058] In a further preferred manner, the bundle can be made of a fabric with a basis weight of more than 150 g / m². 2 , preferably of more than 170 g / m² 2 , preferably of more than 190 g / m² 2 , and / or of less than 250 g / m² 2 , preferably of less than 230 g / m³ 2 , preferably of less than 210 g / m² 2 , and / or of at least substantially between 200 g / m² 2 and / or made from a fabric with a basis weight between 200 g / m² 2 up to 300 g / m² 2 or between 250 g / m² 2 up to 270 g / m² 2 It should be well-designed. A properly designed waistband is perceived as particularly pleasant to the touch, which further improves wearing comfort.

[0059] According to a further preferred embodiment, the waistband and / or the sleeve can be made of a 1x1 rib fabric. Due to its elasticity, such a fabric is particularly advantageous for the waistband and / or the sleeve. Furthermore, a 1x1 rib fabric ensures high dimensional stability, therefore hardly stretches out despite its elasticity, and exhibits a high degree of visual appeal on both sides, namely a clear, classic knit pattern or a uniform rib structure.

[0060] According to a preferred embodiment, the base body can have a width of more than 80 cm, preferably more than 82.5 cm, more preferably more than 85 cm, and / or less than 95 cm, preferably less than 92.5 cm, more preferably less than 90 cm, and / or at least substantially 87.5 cm. Alternatively or additionally, the base body can have a length of more than 70 cm, preferably more than 75 cm, more preferably more than 78 cm, and / or less than 92 cm, preferably less than 87 cm, more preferably less than 82 cm, and / or at least substantially 80.4 cm. The terms "width" and "length" in this case refer to the cut of the base body. In this way, particularly extensive and reliable protection of the clothing and / or body can be achieved.

[0061] According to a further preferred embodiment, the base body can have a continuous edge area, wherein the edge area is at least partially bound by a binding tape, thus preventing fraying of the edge area. In particular, the binding tape can be made of cotton and / or be made of 100% cotton. Alternatively or additionally, the binding tape can be made of a single yarn, preferably combed, preferably wherein the single yarn has a length relative to its weight of at least substantially 30 m / g. Binding tapes designed accordingly are perceived as particularly appealing both visually and to the touch, thereby increasing wearing comfort.

[0062] In a further preferred embodiment, the binding tape can be made of a fabric with a basis weight of more than 90 g / m². 2 , preferably of more than 110 g / m² 2 , preferably of more than 130 g / m² 2, and / or of less than 190 g / m² 2 , preferably of less than 170 g / m² 2 , preferably of less than 150 g / m² 2 , and / or of at least substantially between 140 g / m² 2 or be made of a material of essentially 150 g / m². Binding tapes made accordingly are perceived as particularly appealing both visually and to the touch, thus increasing wearing comfort.

[0063] According to a further preferred embodiment, the binding tape can be made of jersey and / or have jersey content, in particular with a basis weight of more than 100 g / m². 2 or less than 200 g / m² 2 or from 150 g / m² 2 or of substantially 150 g / m² 2 Such binding tape is inexpensive to provide and contributes to easy care. Jersey fabrics are also comfortable for the user or wearer and are wrinkle-resistant.

[0064] According to a further preferred embodiment, the base body can be formed from a base material, wherein the base material comprises cotton and / or is made of 100% cotton and / or is made of a single yarn, preferably combed. The single yarn can have a length relative to its weight of at least substantially 30 m / g. A base body designed accordingly is perceived as particularly pleasant to the touch, which can further improve wearing comfort.

[0065] According to a further preferred embodiment, the base material can have a basis weight of more than 210 g / m². 2 , preferably of more than 220 g / m² 2 , preferably of more than 230 g / m² 2 , and / or of less than 330 g / m² 2 , preferably of less than 320 g / m² 2 , preferably of less than 310 g / m² 2 , and / or of at least substantially 240 g / m² 2 , 260 g / m 2 , 280 g / m2 or 300 g / m² 2 exhibiting features that make a suitably designed bib feel particularly pleasant to the touch, leading to improved wearing comfort.

[0066] According to a further preferred embodiment, the base body can be formed at least partially or entirely from a base material of terry cloth and / or jersey and / or terry-jersey. The base body can be formed from a base material with a terry cloth inner side and / or a jersey outer side. Jersey fabric is particularly soft and pleasant against the skin, elastic, easy to care for, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant. Terry cloth has excellent absorbency, is soft and fluffy, robust and durable, and easy to care for. Terry-jersey combines the smooth elasticity of jersey with the soft absorbency of terry cloth.

[0067] According to another preferred embodiment, the base body can be shaped like a pullover. Alternatively or additionally, the base body can be continuous and / or closed in a transverse plane relative to the wearing position in the circumferential direction. This simplifies putting the bib on, as no connecting element needs to be closed in the back area to ensure a secure fit.

[0068] According to a further preferred embodiment, the base body can have a label and / or washing label. The label and / or washing label can be made of 100% raw cotton. In particular, the label and / or washing label can be printed. In this way, a visually and tactilely appealing label and / or washing label can be created.

[0069] According to a further aspect, the present invention also relates generally to a bib, in particular for protecting clothing and / or the body from soiling, preferably of a baby or toddler, comprising a basic body, a sleeve and a length adjustment device for adjusting and / or setting the sleeve length.

[0070] The adjustable sleeve length allows the bib to be adapted to the user, resulting in excellent protection and a particularly comfortable fit. Furthermore, the bib can be adjusted to the specific application and / or ambient temperature. Overall, this improves comfort and, consequently, user acceptance.

[0071] According to a preferred embodiment of the bib, the sleeve can have at least one predefined fold for folding over and / or adjusting the sleeve length. The sleeve length can then be adjusted in a particularly simple manner using the fold.

[0072] According to a further preferred embodiment of the bib, the length adjustment device can have a snap fastener, button fastener, zipper, magnetic fastener, hook and loop fastener and / or drawstring fastener. The length of the sleeve can then be fixed in a particularly simple and reliable manner and secured against unintentional adjustment.

[0073] According to a further preferred embodiment of the bib, the length adjustment device can comprise a first length adjustment element, a second length adjustment element, and a further component consisting of the first and second length adjustment elements. This makes it possible to fix the sleeve at different lengths in a particularly cost-effective manner.

[0074] Thus, one male snap fastener can be positioned on the outside of a sleeve, and two female snap fasteners can be located on the inside and / or outside of the sleeve. The female snap fasteners can be spaced apart distally along the sleeve. By selecting which female snap fastener is connected to the male snap fastener, different sleeve lengths can be adjusted.

[0075] According to a further aspect, the present invention also relates generally to a bib, in particular for protecting clothing and / or the body from soiling, preferably of a baby or toddler, comprising a base body, a protective layer for repelling and / or sealing against liquids and / or soiling, wherein the protective layer is applied to an outer surface of the base body, wherein the protective layer comprises a fabric layer made of or consisting of jersey, and wherein a protective layer is thermally bonded to the fabric layer of the protective layer, in particular for waterproof or water-repellent lamination.

[0076] According to a further preferred embodiment, the protective layer can have a Jersey piping that is at least partially or completely circumferential and / or be enclosed at least partially or completely by a Jersey piping.

[0077] Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a bib, in particular for protecting clothing and / or the body from soiling, preferably of a baby or toddler, in which a base body is provided with a protective layer for repelling and / or sealing against liquids and / or soiling, wherein the protective layer is arranged only on a partial area of ​​the base body.

[0078] The details mentioned above regarding the bib also apply in the same way to the method mentioned above for manufacturing a bib.

[0087] Fig. 7 shows a bib according to the embodiment of Fig. 6 of the present invention in a schematic view from behind.

[0088] Fig. 1 shows a front view of a bib 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 shows a rear view of the bib 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The bib 1 is designed, in particular, to protect clothing and / or the body from soiling, preferably of a baby or toddler. In particular, the bib 1 can be used to protect against solid and / or liquid substances, such as crumbs and / or liquids, in order to reduce and / or prevent soiling of clothing and / or the body.

[0089] The bib 1 preferably has a base body 2, in particular made of fabric. The bib 1 further has a protective layer 3 for repelling and / or sealing against water and / or dirt. The protective layer 3 provides particularly good protection against dirt.

[0090] The protective layer 3 is only arranged on a partial area of ​​the base body 2, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In particular, the protective layer 3 does not extend over the entire surface of the base body 2. Specifically, the protective layer 3 is arranged in an area of ​​the bib 1, base body 2, or person that is at particularly high risk of contamination.

[0091] The protective layer 3 is preferably water-repellent and / or waterproof, thus achieving a high level of protection against contamination by liquids.

[0092] The protective layer 3 is preferably applied to an inner surface 4 of the base body 2. The protective layer 3 is then not visible when in use, particularly from the outside.

[0093] The protective layer 3 can be applied to less than 50%, more preferably less than 40%, more preferably less than 30%, and more preferably less than 20% of the base body 2, based on its surface area. Because the protective layer 3 is applied only to a portion of the base body 2, the properties, such as feel or the like, differ only in the area of ​​the protective layer 3 compared to the rest of the base body 2. In this way, the bib 1 is perceived as particularly comfortable when properly fitted or worn by a person for protection, thus increasing wearing comfort. User acceptance can therefore be increased.

[0094] As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, it is preferably provided that the protective layer 3 is continuous and forms a continuous area.

[0095] Alternatively, it is also possible that protection level 3 forms several separate areas.

[0096] The protective layer 3 can have a protective layer 5. The protective layer 5 preferably comprises polyurethane, wax and / or a water-repellent coating, in particular a sprayed-on coating. However, it is also possible that the protective layer 5 comprises another waterproof and / or water-repellent material.

[0097] The protective layer 5 can have a basis weight of more than 15 g / m². 2 , preferably of more than 20 g / m² 2 , preferably of more than 22 g / m² 2 , and / or of less than 35 g / m² 2 , preferably less than 30 g / m² 2 , preferably of less than 28 g / m² 2, and / or of at least substantially 25 g / m² 2 exhibit.

[0098] The protective layer 3 can have a fabric layer. The fabric layer can be terry cloth. The fabric layer can be positioned between the protective layer 5 and the base body 2. The fabric layer can then serve to absorb liquids and prevent further contamination. However, when worn, the fabric layer can also be positioned on the inside 4 of the protective layer 5, resulting in a particularly pleasant feel to the protective layer 3.

[0099] Furthermore, the protective layer 3 can have a surface weight of more than 100 g / m². 2 , preferably of more than 120 g / m² 2 , preferably of more than 140 g / m² 2 , and / or of less than 210 g / m² 2 , preferably less than 190 g / m² 2 , preferably of less than 170 g / m² 2, and / or of at least substantially between 150 g / m² 2 and 160 g / m² 2 exhibit.
