Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a brassiere containing a wire.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A brassiere has been known in which a wire channel portion is provided along the lower edge of a cup in order to enhance the effect of adjusting the chest, and an arcuate wire is housed in the wire channel portion. Conventionally, such a cup of a bra with a wire has a pad and a backing cloth successively stacked on the backside of a front cloth, and a tape for forming a wire channel portion is applied along the lower edge from the backside, and the tape is applied to the pad and the backing. The wire channel portion was formed between the tape and the surface cloth by sewing on the surface cloth together with the cloth.

By the way, when the breast is stored in the cup of the bra, although there are various variations in the shape and size of the cup, there is a slight error between the shape of the cup and the breast in the ready-made bra. As such, the cup tends to deform according to the shape of the breast. In addition, the breast is supported from below by the wire and pushed up forward and upward,
Further, since the breast is lifted by the shoulder strap, a vertical tensile force is applied to the lower part of the pad. However, in order to form the breast beautifully, the wire channel is hardly stretched, so that the conventional brassier also restricts the movement of the pad sewn on the wire channel.

[0004] Therefore, even when a stretch material is used for the front and back cloths, the cup may be sufficiently deformed in accordance with the size and shape of the breast portion or the movement of the wearer, because the movement is restricted by the pad. No, giving a cramped and unnatural feeling of wearing. Further, in order not to restrain the deformation by the wire channel portion, it is also conceivable to store the pad in a completely independent state between the front cloth and the back cloth without fixing the pad to another member, but in this case, The pad was bent or misaligned due to intense exercise or washing, and it was difficult to return the misaligned pad to its original position, which was not practical.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the cup is deformed following the shape or movement of the breast part while having a correcting effect, a natural wearing feeling is obtained, and the pad is bent by washing or the like. An object of the present invention is to provide a bra that is easy to process without worrying about displacement.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a brassiere.
A cup comprising a stretchable front and back cloth, a wire channel disposed along a lower edge, and a pad stored between the front and back cloths. The periphery of the pad is fixed to the backing cloth and / or the top cloth at a position spaced from the wire channel part. There is an error in the shape and size of the breast and cup, depending on the action of the wearer,
When a longitudinal pulling force is applied to the lower portion of the cup, the front and back cloths extend between the wire channel portion and the fixing portion to the pad, and the pad moves without being restrained by the wire channel portion, and the cup moves. Deforms well. Further, since the peripheral portion of the pad is fixed to the back cloth and / or the front cloth, the pad is prevented from being bent or shifted due to washing or the like.

The corners and lower edge of the pad are lined with a backing cloth and / or
And an easily deformable portion is formed between the respective fixed portions so that the easily deformable portion curves upwardly convexly when a tensile force is applied, so that the cup can be more freely deformed. May be. Further, the entire length of the corners and lower edge of the pad is set to a backing cloth or /
Also, it can be fixed to the surface cloth to facilitate processing. In some cases, the outer edge of the lower edge of the pad is fixed to the wire channel portion, and the corners of the pad and the central portion and the inner portion of the lower edge are sometimes fixed to the back cloth or / face cloth. On the outside of the cup, the deformation of the pad is regulated by the wire channel portion, and the inside of the pad is deformed according to the shape of the breast, so that the breast is drawn inward while maintaining a good wearing feeling. .

In some cases, the lower edge of the pad is locked to the wire channel portion by an elastic string, and the corner of the pad is fixed to the back cloth and / or the top cloth. The lower edge of the pad to which a large tensile force is applied is fixed to the wire channel part, which is stronger than the front and back cloths, with elastic cords. By being connected by a string, it can be easily deformed according to the shape of the breast. Since the upper edge and the side edge of the cup are relatively free to deform without being constrained by the wire channel portion, they may be fixed to the back cloth or / and the top cloth, or the back cloth or // And it may be fixed to the outer cloth. When stretch tape is attached along the side of the cup, the side edge of the pad is slightly opened from the stretch tape so that the stretch tape does not hinder the extension of the side edge of the pad. And it is desirable to adhere to the surface cloth.

[0009]

1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the brassiere 1 is attached to a pair of left and right cups 2, a back band 3 extending from the outer end of the cup 2 to the back, and an upper end of the cup 2 to an upper end of the back band 3. And a pair of shoulder straps 4. As shown in FIG. 1, the cup 2 includes a stretchable front cloth 5 and a back cloth 6, a wire channel portion 7 arranged along the lower edge, and a gap between the front cloth 5 and the back cloth 6. And a pad 8 housed in the formed bag-shaped part. A stretch tape 13 is attached along the upper edge of the back band 3, the side of the cup 2, and the outer edge of the shoulder strap 4.

The front cloth 5 and the back cloth 6 are made of a two-way tricot, bare sheeting, or other knitted fabric containing elastic yarn, and the back cloth 6 is formed to be slightly smaller than the front cloth 5. In addition, the upper edge of the front cloth 5 is folded back, and meets the upper edge of the back cloth 6. A tape for forming the wire channel portion 7 is provided along the lower edge of the outer cloth 5 and the back cloth 6, and the peripheral edge thereof is sewn to the outer cloth 5 and the back cloth 6. Then, an arc-shaped wire 7 ′ is accommodated in a wire channel portion 7 formed between the tape and the front cloth 5 and the back cloth 6.

The pad 8 is made of polyurethane, fiber-filled non-woven fabric or the like, and is formed into a breast shape slightly smaller than the backing cloth 6 by so-called cut-and-saw molding by molding or sewing a plurality of members. The peripheral portion including the corners of the pad 8 is fixed to the back cloth 6 by sewing, and an easily deformable portion is formed between the fixing portions 9. The lower edge of the pad 8 is sewn to the backing cloth 6 at a position slightly apart from the wire channel portion 7, and the side edge of the pad 8 is
Are sewn on the backing cloth 6 with a slight gap from the stretch tape 13 attached to the side of the backing cloth 6. Needless to say, the bonding between the pad 8 and the backing cloth 6 is performed before the bonding of the backing cloth 6, the front cloth 5, and the wire channel portion 7.

The corners of the pad 8 are usually the left and right ends and the shoulder strap attaching portion.
The pad 8 may be sewn to the end of the shoulder strap 4 together with the backing cloth 6 in order to transmit the weight of the breast portion added to the shoulder strap 4 to the shoulder strap 4. Further, the distance between the fixing portions 9 between the pad 8 and the backing cloth 6 can be appropriately changed depending on the elasticity of the pad 8. When the material of the pad 8 is a material having high elasticity such as high stretch polyurethane, the distance between the fixing portions 9 can be shortened because the expansion and contraction is difficult to be restrained by the wire channel portion 7. Needs to increase the distance between the fixing portions 9.

When the brassiere 1 is worn, the shape of the cup 2 and the breast may be changed due to a difference in shape or body movement.
When a tensile force is applied to the lower part of the backing cloth, first, the backing cloth 6 extends in the gap between the fixing portion 9 and the wire channel section 7, and the front cloth 5 also extends following the backing cloth 6. The pad 8 moves together with 6, and the cup 2 is deformed according to the shape of the breast and the movement of the wearer. When a larger tensile force is applied, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower edge of the pad 8 is attached to the portion of the cup 2 other than the fixing portion 9 whose movement is restricted by the backing cloth 6 sewn to the wire channel portion 7. The cup 2 is drawn toward the center and curved, and the deformation of the cup 2 increases. The stretch tape 13 is inferior in elasticity to the front cloth 5 and the back cloth 6, but the side edges of the pad 8 are sewn with a slight gap from the stretch tape 13, so that the stretch is extended by the stretch tape 13. It will not be inhibited. Further, even if the bra 1 is washed, the pad 8
Is sewn to the backing cloth 6 in some places, so there is no fear of bending or shifting.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the outer edge of the lower edge of the pad 8 is slightly extended to form a seam allowance 10. As shown in FIG. 4, the seam allowance 10 is sewn together with the top cloth 5, the back cloth 6 and the tape. It is fixed to the wire channel 7. In other parts of the peripheral edge of the pad 8 (the upper edge, the side edge, the central portion of the lower edge, and the inner portion), portions including corners are sewn to the backing cloth 6 and fixed. The fixing portion 9 between the central portion and the inner portion of the lower edge of the pad 8 and the backing cloth 6 is formed at a position slightly spaced from the wire channel portion 7. Other configurations are
Since the second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same portions and the detailed description is omitted. When the brassiere 1 is worn, the pad 8 is hardly deformed outside the cup 2 and the inside of the pad 8 is deformed according to the shape of the breast, so that the breast is drawn inward.

FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the present invention.
The elastic string 11 is attached to the lower edge of the pad 8 at various places, and the elastic string 11 is sewn together with the top cloth 5, the back cloth 6 and the tape. 7 Further, corners, upper edges and side edges of the pad 8 are sewn to the backing cloth 6. In addition, the elastic string 11 may be a thin thing like a string obtained by chain-knitting an elastic thread, or may be a wider tape. Other configurations are almost the same as those of the first embodiment, and therefore, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

Although the brassiere 1 requires a little time for processing, the lower edge of the pad 8 to which a large tensile force is applied is locked to the relatively tough wire channel portion 7 by the elastic cord 11, so that the durability is improved. As the height increases, the elastic cord 11 connecting the pad 8 and the wire channel 7 expands, and easily deforms according to the shape of the breast. In the first to third embodiments, the pad 8 can be sewn to the front cloth 5 instead of the back cloth 6 or to the back cloth 6 and the front cloth 5. If the seam cannot be hidden by a decorative article or the like, it is desirable to fix the seam only to the backing cloth 6 because it appears on the surface.

FIGS. 7 and 8 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, a stretchable decorative cloth 12 such as a stretch lace is coated on the surface of the top cloth 5 to prevent the yellowing of the pad 8 from being seen through the thin top cloth 5 from the viewpoint of design. ing. As shown in FIG. 8, the lower edge of the pad 8 is sewn to the outer cloth 5 over the entire length with a slight gap from the wire channel portion 7.
The side edges of the pad 8 are attached to the outer cloth 5 with a slight gap from the stretch tape 13, and the upper edge of the pad 8 is sewn to the outer cloth 5. Other configurations are the first
Therefore, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts and the detailed description is omitted.

When the brassiere 1 is worn and a tensile force is applied to the lower portion of the cup 2, the outer cloth 5 expands in the gap between the fixing section 9 and the wire channel section 7, and the decorative cloth 5 and the back cloth 6 The pad 8 moves together with the outer cloth 5, and the cup 2 is deformed. Further, since the decorative cloth 12 is mounted on the surface of the outer cloth 5, the fixing portion 9 'between the outer cloth 5 and the pad 8 is hidden by the decorative cloth 12, and
Unlike the first to third embodiments, it is not seen from the back surface of the cup 2. Further, the lower edge of the pad 8 can be sewn to the outer cloth 5 at a stretch, so that the fixing work is simple.

In the first to fourth embodiments, since the upper edge of the cup 2 can be deformed relatively freely without being restrained by the wire channel portion 7, the upper edge of the pad 8 can be extended to the entire length. It may be fixed to the front cloth 5 or the back cloth 6 over the entire area. Also, the side edges of the pad 8 extend over the entire length of the surface cloth 5.
Alternatively, it can be sewn to the backing cloth 6. Further, in the case of a brassiere of a type in which a shoulder strap is connected to a cup via a fastener, a pad may be fixed to a loop for attaching the fastener together with a back cloth or a front cloth.

[0020]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when a tensile force is applied to the lower portion of the cup whose expansion and contraction is restricted by the wire channel portion, the front cloth and the back cloth are connected to the pad fixing portion and the wire channel portion. As the pad stretches between and the pad moves with the top and back cloths without being constrained by the wire channel portion, the entire cup can be easily deformed, thereby giving the wearer a cramped feeling. Even if the size and shape of the cup are slightly different from those of the breast, the error can be absorbed and fitted, and the effect of correcting the chest by the wire is not lost. Further, since the peripheral portion of the pad is fixed to the backing cloth and / or the front cloth, there is no fear that the pad is bent or displaced due to heavy exercise, washing, or the like.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the lower edge of the pad is deformed so as to be convexly curved between the portions fixed to the backing cloth, it can cope with a strong tensile force. it can. According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the lower edge of the pad can be fixed at a stroke, the processing is simple and the fixing operation of the pad can be automated. According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect of the present invention, the pad is hardly deformed on the outside of the cup, so that the breast is drawn inward, and the inner part of the pad has the shape of the breast. Therefore, a higher compensation effect can be obtained.

According to the fifth aspect of the invention, in addition to the compensation effect and the pad displacement prevention effect, the lower edge of the pad to which a large tensile force is applied is connected to the relatively tough wire channel portion via the elastic cord. As a result, the elastic string connecting the pad and the wire channel portion is elongated, and can be easily deformed according to the shape of the breast portion. According to the invention according to claim 8, the extension of the side edge of the pad can be prevented from being hindered by the stretch tape having poor elasticity.
