BIB HAVING SIDE EDGES WITH STRESS RELIEF MEANS

摘要

A bib (20) having a predisposition for folding or bending to conform to the wearer. The predisposition is provided by slits, notches (200) or other features which selectively reduce the cross sectional area of the bib or otherwise provide a hinge line. Preferably, the slits or notches (200) are symmetric relative to the longitudinal centerline of the bib. The reduced cross section may extend essentially continuously across the lateral width of the bib. If desired, the hinge lines may converge as the bottom edge of the bib is approached. Preferably, the hinge lines converge at a common point which intercepts both the longitudinal centerline and the bottom edge of the bib.
