- bibs can play an important part in the daily life of a baby/toddler. Taking care of the baby bibs is its own duty. All bibs need to be washed, but not all bibs can go in the clothes drying machine. Bibs with plastic will melt if you put them in the drying machine. I have considered that there is a need to create a system to maintain the care of baby bibs. I propose a single, mini clothesline that will suspend wet bibs, as they air-dry. I also have found that keeping the bibs together, while in the washing machine, proved to be a helpful idea. The same rope material that is used to suspend the bibs can be used to “lasso” the bibs together while being washed in a washing machine.

- the actual clothesline is a cloth-type rope that adheres to the tops of the two vertical poles, in the frame, via Velcro. This creates a mini clothesline that can be used to suspend wet, baby bibs as they air-dry.
- the clothesline rope has two, decorative end pieces that have opposite Velcro textures so that they can come together and adhere to each other. This creates the “lasso” to which baby bibs can be linked, and stay together as they are washed.

Abstract
A single, mini clothesline with a free standing frame that supports a rope/clothesline, with decorative ends, from which baby bibs can be suspended to air dry after being washed and/or to display bibs.
Description
- Being a new mom, again, I have found that bibs can play an important part in the daily life of a baby/toddler. Taking care of the baby bibs is its own duty. All bibs need to be washed, but not all bibs can go in the clothes drying machine. Bibs with plastic will melt if you put them in the drying machine. I have considered that there is a need to create a system to maintain the care of baby bibs. I propose a single, mini clothesline that will suspend wet bibs, as they air-dry. I also have found that keeping the bibs together, while in the washing machine, proved to be a helpful idea. The same rope material that is used to suspend the bibs can be used to “lasso” the bibs together while being washed in a washing machine.
- It is these issues that brought about the current invention.
- The present invention provides a single, mini clothesline specifically for air-drying and displaying baby bibs. It consists of a plastic or wooden frame. This frame provides a freestanding base for a clothesline rope to be attached. The actual clothesline is a cloth-type rope that adheres to the tops of the two vertical poles, in the frame, via Velcro. This creates a mini clothesline that can be used to suspend wet, baby bibs as they air-dry. The clothesline rope has two, decorative end pieces that have opposite Velcro textures so that they can come together and adhere to each other. This creates the “lasso” to which baby bibs can be linked, and stay together as they are washed.

FIG. 1 is the perspective view of the assembled bib caddy in accordance with the present invention showing multiple, suspended bibs; -
FIG. 2 is an enlarged plan view of the disassembled parts of the bib caddy, showing assembly ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view of the disassembled parts of the bib caddy, showing assembly ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is an enlarged plan view of the disassembled parts of the bib caddy, showing assembly ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 5 is an enlarged plan view of the disassembled part creating its own independent function of keeping the bibs together by creating a “lasso” effect. - The bib caddy illustrated in
FIG. 1 consists of a plastic or wooden frame that supports aclothesline rope 40. The disassembled frame consists of five parts. The frame parts include: twobase structures 20, twovertical columns 10 and one lowerhorizontal rod 30. The frame is assembled by inserting eachvertical column 10 into the designatedopening 22 in eachbase structure 20;FIG. 2 , and by inserting the lowerhorizontal rod 30 into the designatedopenings 21 in eachbase structure 20FIG. 3 . Note that the base structures have agripping material 60 on the bottoms of the base legs to minimize sliding of whole frame once assembled. - Once the frame is assembled, the
rope 40 can be attached and supported as shown inFIG. 1 . Therope 40 is made of cloth material and hasdecorative designs 41 at each end. Thedecorative ends 41 are made of thick, “patch-like” material or plastic. The undersides of the decorative ends have Velcro 42. This Velcro 42 is used to support the rope as shown inFIG. 1 . Thevertical columns 10 have opposite Velcro material on the tops of them 11 as to which therope 40 at thedecorative ends 42 can adhere to as shown inFIG. 4 , thus creating a single, clothesline from which wet bibs an be suspended to air-dry as shown inFIG. 1 . - The placement of the Velcro pieces is important. The Velcro on the underside of the
decorative ends 42 need to correspond oppositely to each other. This is needed to be able to create a “lasso” to keep the bibs together while being washed as shown inFIG. 5 .
Claims (5)
1. A single, mini clothesline supported by a free-standing frame used for suspending wet baby bibs to air dry.
2. A single, mini clothesline, according to claim 1 , where the frame is made from durable plastic or wood material.
3. A single, mini clothesline, according to claim 1 , where the rope is made of cloth material with decorative ends that adhere to the frame by means of Velcro.
4. A single, mini clothesline, according to claim 1 , where the rope can detach from the frame and the decorative, end pieces can come together and adhere to each other via Velcro, thus creating a “lasso” to keep the bibs together while being washed in the washing machine.
5. A single, mini clothesline, according to claim 1 , where the base of the frame has “gripper”/rubber material on the bottoms of the legs, to minimize sliding of assembled frame.
