referring now to the drawings , the disposable bib 10 of the present invention includes a panel 12 of generally oval shape having an arcuate member 14 permanently affixed at one end thereof to the panel 12 . the second end of the arcuate member is capable of being removably coupled to the panel . the arcuate member and an arcuate upper edge 16 of the panel define an opening 18 through which an infant &# 39 ; s neck extends . preferably , the second end of the arcuate member is decoupled from the panel to enable the arcuate member to be placed about an infant &# 39 ; s neck and recoupled to the panel for securing the bib about the infant &# 39 ; s neck . in a preferred embodiment of the present invention , the arcuate member includes a velcro ™ ( that is , a hook and loop ) tab 20 at an end portion 10 thereof and the panel includes a complementary velcro ™ ( that is , a hook and loop ) tab 22 for enabling securement of the arcuate member 14 to the panel 12 . it is foreseen that any other means of attachment including a snap - fit button or a button and hole configuration can be utilized to secure the arcuate member to the panel . it is also foreseen that the arcuate member 14 could be replaced by tie strings and the like which are permanently affixed to the panel 12 at opposite ends of arcuate upper edge 16 and which are tied about the infant &# 39 ; s neck to secure the bib , or tape - like closures typically found on diapers . alternatively the bib may include clips which secure the bib directly to clothing without traversing about the infant &# 39 ; s neck . in a preferred embodiment , a top - side surface 24 of the panel includes a material which is durable and absorbent in order to absorb any spills of food while the infant is being fed . a suitable durable and absorbent material for use as the top - side surface of the panel is a material similar to that of a reusable handi - wipe ™ manufactured by softsoap enterprises . the under - side surface 26 of the panel , which is designed to face toward the wearer , is preferably made of a material which is impervious to liquids to protect the wearer &# 39 ; s clothing . a suitable liquid impervious material for use as the under - side surface 26 of the panel is a plastic covering similar to that of the outer shell of a diaper manufactured by kimberly clark corporation . the underside panel 26 also includes first and second compartments 28 , 30 preferably formed within the top - side and under - side panels for containing eating utensils 32 , wipes 34 ( moist towelettes ) and any other article which would assist a parent in feeding an infant or cleaning an infant after having been fed . it is foreseen that even food can be provided and retained within the compartments . in the preferred embodiment , the compartments 28 , 30 are formed within the first and second surfaces of the panel such that the compartment is integrally formed within the bib . the compartments are preferably sealed in order to prevent access to the items stored therein prior to use . it is foreseen that the compartments may be airtight sealed in order to prevent the towelette and utensils from becoming unsanitary . alternatively , the utensils and towelette can be stored in airtight sealed bags which are placed within the compartments . therefore , the compartments need not be airtight if the utensils and towelette are sterilized . the compartments preferably include a tab 36 such as a tamper - proof , non - resealable kind so that it will be readily apparent to a user if the compartment has been previously opened . the non - resealable tab 36 which enables access to the compartments may include perforations 38 in the second surface of the panel which , when broken by pulling on a semicircular head 40 portion of the tab , enables access to the compartment . it is foreseen that the compartments can be attached to either the top - side or under - side surface of the panel 12 instead of being positioned between the top - side and under - side of the panels . in the preferred embodiment of the present invention , the first compartment 28 includes eating utensils 32 such as a fork , knife and spoon , and the second compartment 30 includes the towelette . it is foreseen that the disposable bib 10 can include only one compartment wherein the utensils 32 and wipe 34 are both included therein . if one compartment is utilized , either the wipe or the utensils may be enclosed in a bag contained within the compartment to prevent contamination of the utensils from the wipe and vice versa . the compartment which holds the wipe is preferably constructed in a manner similar to a pocket such that the compartment can be oriented in an inside - out configuration 42 . in the preferred embodiment after the disposable bib has been used for its intended purpose , the compartment which holds the wipe is preferably oriented inside - out and the bib is inserted therein along with the utensils and the wipe so that the used bib , utensils and wipe are retained in the compartment such that the unit can be safely and cleanly carried to a proper trash receptacle without dirtying one &# 39 ; s hands on the soiled bib , utensils and / or towelette . it is foreseen that a plurality of disposable bib arrangements of the present invention will be sold together in a package or box ( similar to diapers ) or singly , and that a parent take an arrangement ( which includes necessary items for feeding an infant ) if the parent expects to be away from home during the infant &# 39 ; s mealtime . alternatively , an arrangement can be stored in the parents &# 39 ; car or in the child &# 39 ; s diaper bag as a back - up ( emergency ) in the event the parent is unexpectedly out of the house with the infant during meal - time . while the invention has been described in connection with a preferred embodiment , it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention to the particular form set forth but , on the contrary , it is intended to cover such alternatives , modifications , and equivalents as may be included within the scope and spirit of the invention as defined by the appended claims . for example , the bib arrangement is not only intended for use with an infant as a travel convenience , but can be used on a disabled adult or an elderly person who require the same assistance during mealtime as an infant or the bib arrangement could be provided by a restaurant or fast food eatery for use by a patron ( either an infant or an adult ) especially when the patron is to eat the food away from the restaurant .
