Description

GERMAN

The invention relates to a hip shaper or the like with a symmetrically stiffened to the center of the front part, Area that surrounds and shapes the body above the waist.

In known hip shapers of this type, inserts in the form of two straight ones from one another are used for stiffening independent and at a greater distance from each other rods, which are at a slight incline are provided for perpendicular. The lower ends of these stiffening bars, which act independently of one another can therefore press into the body part of the wearer when leaning forward or sitting.

There are also known hip shapers that extend well above the waist and above the part lying at the waist are stiffened with the help of straight rods which are spaced apart from one another and go through from the bottom to the top of the hip shaper. This is also the case with such hip shapers It has already been proposed to provide an elastic fabric band in the area of the waist.

In contrast, the invention consists in stiffening the area surrounding the body above the waist with a V- shaped insert preferably consisting of a helical spring, the rounded central part of which is above the waist line, in the area of which a band of elastic fabric is arranged .

In this way, an interaction is achieved between the stiffening insert and the elastic fabric tape in the waist area, in that the hip former comes to rest particularly firmly in the waist area due to the tape reinforcement. As a result, the arch of the V -shaped stiffener, which ends above the elastic waist band, cannot press into the waist part or against the body part when the wearer leans forward or sits down. By sewing on the elastic band in the waist part of the hip shaper, a zone of lower elasticity is created which, with every movement of the wearer, tries to take its place at the narrowest point of the wearer's waist and to maintain it. As a result, the curved part of the V- shaped spiral cannot penetrate to the narrowest point of the waist area even when the upper body of the wearer is bent forward, so that any pressure at this critical point is avoided. In addition, the stiffening insert according to the invention prevents the upper part of the hip former above the waist from slipping together. The breakage of the rods, which often occurs in the case of stiffening at the waist line, is also prevented by the invention.

In a preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, the stiffening insert is with their from a folded ribbon or one

Fabric hose existing cover only sewn to the inner fabric and an intermediate layer, which with are connected to the outer fabric by a special seam.

This simplifies the manufacture of the hip shaper in that the helical spring serving as a stiffening insert can be brought into shape with its cover on the inner material and can be fastened with the aid of the intermediate layer and the two contour seams. The inner fabric can then be connected to the outer fabric and then the middle section that is created in this way can be connected to the two side sections. The intermediate layer also provides a gentle surface stiffening of the stomach area. The covering of the round spiral prevents it from coming into direct contact with the inner material, so that damage is reliably avoided.

Finally, the front part of the hip shaper above the waist can have delimiting edges parallel to the thighs of the stiffening insert.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the drawing. In this shows

Fig. 1 shows a high-waisted hip shaper in the front view and

Fig. 2 shows on an enlarged scale a section along the line I-I of Fig. 1, the distance between the individual parts exaggerated.

The middle part 3 is connected to the two side parts 1 and 2 made of an elastic rubber fabric by the seams 4 ' and 5' . The middle part consists of the outer fabric 4 and the inner fabric 5. The helical spring 6 is inserted in the region of the stomach area, the free ends of which extend up to the upper edge 7 of the hip shaper. The rounded middle section extends almost to the waist line of the hip shaper. The elastic side parts 1 and 2 and the back part 8 , which is also made of an elastic rubber fabric, are in the waist through on the inner

side of the hip shaper sewn-on ribbons 9 made of rubber fabric reinforced. The bands 9 are fastened by the decorative seams 10. The round spiral 6 is embedded in the envelope 11, which is arranged between the inner material 5 and the intermediate material layer 12. The outer fabric 4 follows the intermediate layer 12 on the outside. The individual parts are connected to one another by the contour seams 13, 14 and the decorative seam 15. 16, 17, 18, 19 are the garter belts. Patent claims: 1. Hip shaper or the like with a stiffened symmetrically to the center of the front part, above the waist the body enclosing and shaping area, characterized in that for stiffening of the area surrounding the body above the waist, preferably made of a helical spring existing V-shaped insert is provided, whose rounded middle part lies above the waist line, in the area of which a band (9) made of an elastic fabric is arranged. 2. Hip shaper according to claim 1, characterized in that the stiffening insert (6) with its covering (11) consisting of a folded tape or a tube of fabric is sewn only to the inner fabric (5) and an intermediate layer (12) which is attached to the outer fabric (4) are connected by a special seam (15) . 3. Hip shaper according to claim 2, characterized in that the front part above the waist to the legs of the stiffening insert (6) has parallel delimiting edges. Considered publications:
