A vacuum cleaner system incorporating a closed loop airflow recirculation path for cooling a beater brush motor. A portion of clean, exhaust airflow created by a fan is diverted away from an exhaust port of the housing and directed into a flow path running alongside a portion of the housing. The airflow is used to pressurize a compartment within which a beater brush motor is disposed. A low pressure area created by the fan is used to assist in drawing the cooling exhaust airflow through the compartment, to thus form a closed loop cooling air recirculation system using only clean, filtered exhaust airflow to maintain the beater brush motor cool during use.

The device of claim 26, wherein said flexible clamp bar has an upper lip, said upper lip functioning to push said bib forward over said dish when said flexible clamp bar is in said closed position. 28. The device of claim 21, wherein said first structure comprises a retainer lock bar having a pair of retainer clips and wherein said dish has a pair of retention slots, said bib being reversibly retained between said retaining lock bar and a back of said dish by inserting each of said pair of retainer clips through a respective one of said pair or retention slots such that each of said pair of retaining clips is coupled to a front portion of said dish. 29. The device of claim 21, wherein said first structure comprises a retainer lock bar and an elastic o-ring and wherein said dish has a slot, said bib being reversibly retained to said dish by fitting said o-ring into said slot containing a first portion of said bib, and snapping said retainer lock bar over said o-ring within said slot. 30. The device of claim 29, wherein said retainer lock bar has a lip that functions to ensure that said bib is pushed forward towards said dish. 31. The device of claim 21, wherein said bib has a food-catching portion, said food catching portion capable of catching food falling from a wearer's mouth and preventing the wearer from retrieving the food when said bib is reversibly retained to said dish. 32. The device of claim 21 further comprising a food-catching compartment coupled to said dish, said food-catching compartment capable of catching food falling from a wearer's mouth and prevent the wearer from retrieving the food. 33. The device of claim 32, wherein said food-catching compartment is co-molded with said d
