Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Büstenhalter mit zwei Büstenkörbchen und zwei mit diesen verbundenen Seitenteilen, bei dem entlang der unteren Ränder der Körbchen jeweils eine Tasche zur Aufnahme eines U-förmigen Versteifungsbügels angeordnet ist, die im Bereich jeweils eines der Enden der Bügel eine Öffnung zum Einschieben bzw. Entnehmen des jeweiligen Bügels aufweist.The invention relates to a bra with two Bust cup and two side parts connected to it, one along the lower edges of the cups Bag to hold a U-shaped stiffening bracket is arranged, each in the area of one of the ends of the Bracket an opening for inserting or removing the has respective bracket.
Bei bekannten Büstenhaltern dieser Art bestehen die formhaltenden Bügel aus einem verhältnismäßig steifen, sprungelastischen Material wie z. B. Metall oder Kunststoff, die in jeweils eine längliche, aus textilem Material gebildete und entlang der Büstenansatznaht verlaufende und an den Enden geschlossene Tasche eingelegt sind.In known bras of this type shape-retaining bracket made of a relatively stiff, elastic material such as B. metal or plastic, each in an elongated, made of textile material formed and running along the bust attachment seam and closed pocket are inserted at the ends.
Da die Bügel in diesen Taschen längsbeweglich sind, besteht nicht nur beim Tragen, sondern vor allem dann, wenn derartige Büstenhalter in einer Waschmaschine gewaschen werden, die Gefahr, daß die Enden der Bügel sich an den Enden der Taschen durch das Gewirke des die Taschen bildenden Materials hindurcharbeiten. Beim Waschen können die Bügel sogar ganz aus den Taschen herausgeschleudert werden. Hat sich ein derartiger Bügel völlig vom Wäschestück gelöst, dann besteht die Gefahr, daß er durch die Löcher in der Waschtrommel hindurchtritt und die weitere Drehbewegung der Waschtrommel blockieren kann. In der Vergangenheit wurden viele Waschmaschinen auf diese Weise durch Versteifungsbügel von Büstenhaltern beschädigt. Since the brackets in these pockets are longitudinally movable, there is not only when wearing it, but especially when such bras washed in a washing machine be, the danger that the ends of the bracket on the Ends of the pockets by the knitted fabric of the pockets work through the material. When washing the temples even flung out of the pockets will. Such a hanger has completely removed from the laundry solved, then there is a risk that it through the holes in the washing drum passes through and the further rotary movement the washing drum can block. In the past have been through many washing machines this way Bra stiffener damaged.
Aus diesem Grund wird von vielen Wäscheherstellern empfohlen, solche Büstenhalter nur von Hand zu waschen. Eine Handwäsche ist jedoch aufwendig und befriedigt jedenfalls dann nicht, wenn im Gewirke des Büstenhalters Baumwolle enthalten ist, deren Verschmutzung durch eine Handwäsche bei niedrigen Temperaturen kaum beseitigt werden kann.For this reason, many laundry manufacturers recommended to wash such bras only by hand. A However, hand washing is complex and satisfying in any case then not if there is cotton in the bra of the bra is included, soiled by hand washing low temperatures can hardly be eliminated.
Um solche Büstenhalter auch in der Waschmaschine waschen zu können, ist es bekannt, die Taschen zur Aufnahme der Bügel so auszubilden, daß die Bügel zum Waschen herausgenommen und danach wieder eingeschoben werden können. Hierzu wird jeweils an den Enden der Taschen eine Öffnung, z.B. ein quer zur Erstreckungsrichtung der Tasche verlaufender Schlitz vorgesehen oder das Ende der Tasche durch ein quer dazu verlaufendes Band abgedeckt, um so ein unbeabsichtigtes Heraustreten der Bügel zu vermeiden (EP 0 752 213 A1). Diese Öffnungen sind vornehmlich an den außenliegenden Enden der Taschen vorgesehen. Gleichwohl kann nicht sichergestellt werden, insbesondere nach längerem Tragen oder mehreren Wäschen, daß die Enden der Bügel nicht dennoch aus den Öffnungen heraustreten und die Haut der Trägerin reizen oder verletzen können.To wash such bras in the washing machine too can, it is known to hold the pockets for the bracket to be trained so that the hangers are removed for washing and can then be inserted again. To do this an opening at each end of the pockets, e.g. a cross Slit running to the direction of extension of the pocket provided or the end of the bag by a cross to it running tape covered to avoid accidental Avoid stepping out of the bracket (EP 0 752 213 A1). This Openings are primarily at the outer ends of the Bags provided. However, cannot be guaranteed especially after prolonged wear or several Wash that the ends of the hangers are not from the Open openings and irritate the wearer's skin or can hurt.
Im Gegensatz hierzu ist es, um Längsbewegungen der Versteifungsbügel in den Taschen zu verhindern, schon bekannt geworden, die Versteifungsbügel an ihren Enden mit dem betreffenden Büstenhalter fest zu verbinden (US 5 387 150). Um dennoch die Bewegungsmöglichkeit der Trägerin nicht zu beeinträchtigen, sind einerseits an den Bügelenden zumindest in einer Richtung gelenkige Befestigungen vorgesehen und andererseits im Verlauf der Bügel weitere Gelenke angeordnet. Abgesehen davon, daß dies eine sehr komplizierte Ausgestaltung des Bügels und der Befestigungsvorrichtungen bedingt, ist die Gefahr nicht beseitigt, daß sich sowohl beim Tragen, vor allem aber beim Waschen auch die Befestigungsmittel von dem Material des Büstenhalters lösen können und dennoch der Bügel den Büstenhalter oder andere Wäschestücke, gegebenenfalls sogar die Waschmaschine beschädigen können.In contrast, it is about longitudinal movements of the To prevent stiffening brackets in the pockets, yes became known with the stiffening brackets at their ends to firmly connect the bra in question (US Pat. No. 5,387 150). Not about the wearer's ability to move on the one hand at the temple ends fastenings articulated at least in one direction provided and on the other hand in the course of the bracket more Joints arranged. Aside from the fact that this is a very complicated design of the bracket and the Fasteners required, the danger is not eliminated that both when wearing, but especially when Also wash the fasteners from the material of the Bra can loosen and still the underwire Brassieres or other items of laundry, possibly even can damage the washing machine.
Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Möglichkeit zu schaffen, um bei Büstenhaltern mit herausnehmbaren Versteifungsbügeln Längsverschiebungen der Bügel bzw. das Heraustreten der Bügel aus den zum Einschieben bzw. Herausnehmen benötigten Öffnungen zu verhindern.Against this background, the object of the invention based on creating a way to wear bras with removable stiffening brackets the bracket or the emergence of the bracket from the to Insert or remove required openings prevent.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Büstenhalter der eingangs angegebenen Art dadurch gelöst, daß im Bereich der Öffnung der Taschen Mittel zum Fixieren der jeweiligen Bügel in der eingeschobenen Lage vorgesehen sind, wobei diese Mittel aus mindestens einem im vorderen mittleren Bereich des Büstenhalters zwischen den Körbchen angebrachten Halteelement bestehen, mit dem jeweils ein diesem zugeordnetes Ende eines Bügels in eine lösbare Wirkverbindung bringbar ist.This task is the beginning of a bra specified type solved in that in the area of the opening the pockets means for fixing the respective bracket in the inserted position are provided, these funds from at least one in the front middle area of the Bra placed between the cups Holding element exist, with each one this associated end of a bracket in a detachable Active connection can be brought.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht somit darin, die Bügel im eingeschobenen Zustand durch mechanische Mittel lösbar zu fixieren. Diese Mittel sind zweckmäßig an der Stelle angeordnet, an der die Öffnungen der Taschen beider Körbchen am dichtesten beieinanderliegen, nämlich im vorderen mittleren Bereich des Büstenhalters zwischen den Körbchen. An dieser Stelle stören mechanische Halteelemente für die Bügel am wenigsten, zumal sie dort auch zum Beispiel in Form einer Agraffe oder eines sonstigen Schmuckstücks gestaltet werden können, die aus dekorativen Gründen ohnehin oft an dieser Stelle vorgesehen sind. The basic idea of the invention is therefore that Retracted stirrups by mechanical means to be releasably fixed. These funds are appropriate to the Place where the openings of the pockets of both Cups are closest together, namely in the front middle area of the bra between the Cup. At this point mechanical holding elements interfere least of all for the temples, especially since they are there too in the form of an agraffe or other piece of jewelry can be designed for decorative reasons anyway are often provided at this point.
Erfindungsgemäß kann jedem Bügel ein gesondertes Halteelement zugeordnet oder können die Halteelemente beider Bügel zu einer einheitlichen Haltevorrichtung zusammengefaßt sein.According to the invention, each bracket can have a separate one Assigned holding element or can the holding elements of both Bracket combined into a single holding device be.
Die lösbare Wirkverbindung kann druckknopfartig ausgebildet sein, wobei einem Vorsprung an einem Teil eine diesen Vorsprung aufnehmende Ausnehmung an dem anderen Teil zugeordnet ist. Dies schafft die Voraussetzung dafür, daß zum Beispiel ein Dorn am Ende eines Bügels in eine Ausnehmung in einem Halteelement eingeführt bzw. eine Durchbrechung am Ende eines Bügels auf einen Dorn am Halteelement aufgesteckt werden kann. Eine derartige Verbindung ist leicht herzustellen und zu lösen; außerdem ermöglicht sie in der der Körperoberfläche folgenden Ebene des Büstenhalters gewisse Drehbewegungen, weil sie wie ein Gelenk wirkt.The releasable operative connection can be designed like a push button be, a protrusion on a part of this one Projection receiving recess on the other part assigned. This creates the prerequisite for for example a thorn at the end of a bracket in one Inserted recess in a holding element or a Breakthrough at the end of a bracket on a thorn on Holding element can be plugged on. Such Connection is easy to make and break; Furthermore enables it in the plane following the body surface the bra certain twisting movements because they are like a Joint works.
Wenn die Halteelemente beider Bügel zu einer einheitlichen Haltevorrichtung zusammengefaßt sind, dann ist es zweckmäßig, die Halteelemente auf einer gemeinsamen Grundplatte anzuordnen, die auch durch eine mit der Grundplatte gelenkig klappbare verbundene Deckplatte abdeckbar ist.If the holding elements of both brackets become one Holding device are summarized, then it is expedient, the holding elements on a common Arrange base plate, which is also by a with the Base plate articulated hinged connected cover plate can be covered.
Das Halteelement bzw. die Haltevorrichtung und/oder die Bügel bestehen zweckmäßig aus Kunststoff, der bekanntlich auf einfache Weise in beliebige Formen gebracht werden kann. Die Halteelemente bzw. die Haltevorrichtung und/oder die diesen zugeordneten Enden der Bügel können auch ästhetisch ansprechend gestaltet und/oder ornamental verziert sein.The holding element or the holding device and / or the Brackets are suitably made of plastic, which is known can be brought into any shape in a simple manner. The holding elements or the holding device and / or the these associated ends of the bracket can also be aesthetically pleasing attractively designed and / or decorated.
