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. Ein derartiger Büstenhalter ist aus dem Dokument FR-A-0 941 366 bekannt.The invention relates to a brassiere with two cups and two side parts connected to them, in which a pocket for receiving a U-shaped stiffening strap is arranged along the lower edges of the cups, which has an opening for insertion or insertion in the area of one of the ends of the brackets Has removal of the respective bracket. Such a bra is known from document FR-A-0 941 366.
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, the shape-retaining underwire consist of a relatively rigid, spring-elastic material such as. B. metal or plastic, which are inserted in an elongated, formed of textile material and running along the bust seam and closed at the ends pocket.
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 straps in these pockets are longitudinally movable, there is a risk that the ends of the straps at the ends of the pockets will not only be worn, but especially when such bras are washed in a washing machine, by the knitted fabric of the pockets Work through materials. When washing, the hangers can even be flung out of the pockets. If such a hanger is completely detached from the laundry item, there is a risk that it will pass through the holes in the washing drum and can block the further rotary movement of the washing drum. In the past, many washing machines have been damaged in this way by bra braces.
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 recommend washing such bras only by hand. However, hand washing is expensive and in any case is not satisfactory if the bra's knitted fabric contains cotton, the pollution of which can hardly be removed by hand washing at low temperatures.
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.In order to also be able to wash such bras in the washing machine, it is known to design the pockets for receiving the underwire so that the underwire can be removed for washing and then pushed back in again. For this purpose, an opening is made at the ends of the pockets, e.g. a slit running transversely to the direction of extension of the bag is provided or the end of the bag is covered by a tape running transversely thereto, in order to prevent the stirrups from inadvertently coming out (EP 0 752 213 A1). These openings are primarily provided at the outer ends of the pockets. Nevertheless, it cannot be ensured, especially after prolonged wear or several washes, that the ends of the hangers do not nevertheless emerge from the openings and can irritate or injure the wearer's skin.
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 to this, in order to prevent longitudinal movements of the stiffening straps in the pockets, it has already become known to firmly connect the stiffening straps at their ends to the bra in question (US Pat. No. 5,387,150). In order not to impair the possibility of movement of the wearer, on the one hand articulated fastenings are provided on the temple ends at least in one direction and on the other hand further joints are arranged in the course of the temple. Apart from the fact that this requires a very complicated configuration of the bracket and the fastening devices, the danger is not eliminated that both when worn, but especially when Washing can also loosen the fastening means from the material of the bra and the strap can nevertheless damage the bra or other items of laundry, possibly even 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 invention has for its object to provide a way to prevent longitudinal displacements of the straps or the emergence of the straps from the openings required for insertion or removal in bras with removable stiffening straps.
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 object is achieved with a brassiere of the type mentioned in the introduction in that means for fixing the respective earpieces in the inserted position are provided in the region of the opening of the pockets, these means consisting of at least one holding element attached between the cups in the front middle region of the brassiere exist with which one associated end of a bracket can be brought into a releasable operative connection.
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 thus consists in releasably fixing the stirrups in the inserted state by mechanical means. These means are expediently arranged at the point at which the openings of the pockets of both cups lie closest together, namely in the front middle region of the bra between the cups. At this point, mechanical holding elements for the stirrups are the least disruptive, especially since they can also be designed there, for example, in the form of an agraffe or other piece of jewelry, which are often provided for decorative reasons anyway 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, a separate holding element can be assigned to each stirrup or the holding elements of both stirrups can be combined to form a uniform holding device.
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, with a projection on one part being assigned a recess receiving this projection on the other part. This creates the prerequisite for, for example, that a mandrel at the end of a bracket can be inserted into a recess in a holding element or that an opening at the end of a bracket can be plugged onto a mandrel on the holding element. Such a connection is easy to make and solve; in addition, it enables certain rotary movements in the level of the bra following the body surface because it acts like a joint.
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 are combined to form a single holding device, then it is expedient to arrange the holding elements on a common base plate, which can also be covered by a cover plate which is articulated and foldable with the base plate.
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 bracket are suitably made of plastic, which is known to be brought into any shape in a simple manner. The holding elements or the holding device and / or the ends of the brackets assigned to them can also be aesthetically pleasing and / or ornamentally decorated.

Wie Fig. 1 zeigt, besteht der erfindungsgemäße Büstenhalter 1 aus zwei Seitenteilen 2, die im vorderen mittleren Bereich 3 des Büstenhalters 1 zusammengeführt und an den äußeren Enden mit Teilen 4a, 4b für einen Rückenverschluß versehen sind. Entlang der Büstenansatznaht 5 sind die Büstenkörbchen 6 eingenäht, die grundsätzlich in beliebiger Weise ausgebildet sein können. An den oberen Rändern der Körbchen 6 sind Trägerbänder 7 angesetzt, die in üblicher Weise zu den rückwärtigen Bereichen der Seitenteile 2 verlaufen.1 shows, the brassiere 1 according to the invention consists of two side parts 2, which are brought together in the front central region 3 of the brassiere 1 and are provided at the outer ends with parts 4a, 4b for a back closure. The bust cups 6 are sewn in along the bust attachment seam 5, which can basically be formed in any manner. Carrier tapes 7 are attached to the upper edges of the cups 6 and run in the usual way to the rear areas of the side parts 2.
Die einzelnen Teile des Büstenhalters 1 bestehen aus textilem Material, das ganz oder in Teilbereichen auch dehnbar ausgebildet sein kann, ohne daß dies Einfluß auf die Erfindung hat. Die Anwendung der Erfindung ist auch nicht auf die beschriebene Ausführung eines Büstenhalters beschränkt; sie kann grundsätzlich bei allen Damenunterbekleidungsartikeln mit an- bzw. ausgearbeitetem Büstenteil mit Versteifungsbügeln einschließlich Badeanzügen eingesetzt werden.The individual parts of the brassiere 1 are made of textile material, which can be made stretchable in whole or in part, without this having any effect on the invention. The application of the invention is also not limited to the described embodiment of a brassiere; In principle, it can be used for all women's underwear articles with a fitted or worked-on bust part with stiffening bars including swimsuits.
Wie Fig. 2 entnommen werden kann, die eine vergrößerte Darstellung des oberen Teils des vorderen mittleren Bereiches 3 des Büstenhalters darstellt, verlaufen entlang der Büstenansatznähte 5 der Körbchen 6 Taschen 8, in die jeweils Versteifungsbügel 9 eingeschoben sind. Die Taschen 8 können von außen oder von innen aufgesetzt oder auch aus dem Material der Seitenteile 2 ausgebildet bzw. herausgearbeitet sein; wesentlich ist, daß jede der Taschen 8 an den im vorderen mittleren Bereich 3 des Büstenhalters liegenden Enden Öffnungen 10 aufweist, durch welche die Bügel 9 in die Taschen 8 eingeführt bzw. auch aus diesen wieder entnommen werden können. Die Bügel 9 bestehen in üblicher Weise aus einem steifen, sprungelastischen Material wie z. B. Metall oder Kunststoff.As can be seen in FIG. 2, which shows an enlarged representation of the upper part of the front central region 3 of the brassiere, pockets 8 run along the bust attachment seams 5 of the cups 6, into each of which stiffening brackets 9 are inserted. The pockets 8 can be placed from the outside or from the inside or can also be formed or worked out from the material of the side parts 2; it is essential that each of the pockets 8 has openings 10 at the ends located in the front middle region 3 of the brassiere, through which the straps 9 can be inserted into the pockets 8 or removed therefrom. The bracket 9 consist in the usual way of a stiff, spring-elastic material such. B. metal or plastic.
Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel liegen die oberen inneren Enden der Bügel 9, die aus den Taschen 8 herausragen, relativ dicht nebeneinander und sind dort in einer Haltevorrichtung 11 zusammengefaßt. Ausbildung und Funktion dieser Haltevorrichtung 11 kann anhand der Fig. 3 und 4 näher erläutert werden, welche, im Gegensatz zu Fig. 2, die Haltevorrichtung 11 in aufgeklapptem Zustand zeigen.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the upper inner ends of the brackets 9, which protrude from the pockets 8, lie relatively close to one another and are combined there in a holding device 11. The design and function of this holding device 11 can be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, which, in contrast to FIG. 2, show the holding device 11 in the opened state.
Wie Fig. 3 zeigt, besteht die Haltevorrichtung 11 aus einer Grundplatte 12 mit Löchern 13, mittels welcher sie wie ein Knopf am textilen Material des Büstenhalters 1 angenäht werden kann. Aus der Grundplatte 12 ragen zwei Dorne 14 heraus, auf welche die Bügel 9 mit Durchbrechungen 15 aufgesteckt werden können, die sie an ihren Enden tragen (Fig. 4). Damit lassen sich die Bügel 9 in den Taschen 8 gegen Längsbewegungen, vor allem auch gegen Heraustreten fixieren.3 shows, the holding device 11 consists of a base plate 12 with holes 13, by means of which they like a Button on the textile material of the bra 1 can be sewn on. Two mandrels 14 protrude from the base plate 12, onto which the brackets 9 can be plugged with openings 15 which they carry at their ends (FIG. 4). This allows the brackets 9 to be fixed in the pockets 8 against longitudinal movements, especially against stepping out.
Vervollständigt wird die Haltevorrichtung 11 durch eine Deckplatte 16, die entlang der oberen geraden Kante 17 der Grundplatte 12 mit dieser durch Gelenke 18 verbunden ist (Fig. 2). Es kann eine Rastung vorgesehen sein, um die Deckplatte 16 in der heruntergeklappten, die Dorne 14 mit den Bügelenden abdeckenden Stellung zu halten.The holding device 11 is completed by a cover plate 16 which is connected to the base plate 12 along the upper straight edge 17 thereof by means of joints 18 (FIG. 2). A catch can be provided in order to hold the cover plate 16 in the folded-down position, which covers the mandrels 14 with the temple ends.
Um für einen Waschvorgang die Bügel 9 aus den Taschen 8 zu entnehmen, wird, wie Fig. 4 erkennen läßt, zunächst die Deckplatte 16 der Haltevorrichtung 11 aufgeklappt, wodurch die Enden der Bügel 9 frei werden. Die Bügel 9 werden von den Dornen 14 abgezogen; daraufhin können die Bügel 9 aus den Taschen 8 herausgezogen und der Büstenhalter 1 gewaschen werden. Nach der Wäsche bzw. nach dem Trocknen werden die Bügel 9 wieder in die Taschen 8 eingeschoben, die Enden der Bügel 9 wieder mit den Durchbrechungen 15 auf die Dorne 14 aufgesteckt und die Deckplatte 16 heruntergeklappt.In order to remove the brackets 9 from the pockets 8 for a washing process, the cover plate 16 of the holding device 11 is first opened, as can be seen in FIG. 4, as a result of which the ends of the brackets 9 become free. The bracket 9 are removed from the thorns 14; the straps 9 can then be pulled out of the pockets 8 and the brassiere 1 can be washed. After washing or after drying, the stirrups 9 are pushed back into the pockets 8, the ends of the stirrups 9 are pushed back onto the mandrels 14 with the openings 15, and the cover plate 16 is folded down.
In den Fig. 5 und 6 ist noch ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Büstenhalters dargestellt, in dem jedem Bügel 9 ein eigenes gesondertes Halteelement 21 zugeordnet ist. Dabei zeigt Fig. 5 den Büstenhalter mit in die Taschen 8 eingeschobenen Bügeln 9 und Fig. 6 die Situation, daß der in der Darstellung rechte Bügel in Richtung des Pfeils 20 aus seiner Tasche herausgezogen ist.5 and 6, another embodiment of a brassiere according to the invention is shown, in which each hanger 9 is assigned its own separate holding element 21. 5 shows the brassiere with brackets 9 pushed into the pockets 8 and FIG. 6 shows the situation that the right bow in the illustration is pulled out of its pocket in the direction of arrow 20.
Die Halteelemente 21 bestehen bei diesem Beispiel aus jeweils einer kleinen rosettenartig geformten Grundplatte 22 mit einer zentralen Ausnehmung 23. Am Ende des Bügels 9 ist eine der Grundplatte 22 in Form und Größe entsprechende Rosette 24 angeformt, die an der der Grundplatte 22 zugewandten Unterseite einen Dorn 25 besitzt. Nach dem Einschieben des Bügels 9 in die Tasche 8 kann dessen Fixierung auf einfache Weise dadurch erfolgen, daß der Dorn 25 in die Ausnehmung 23 der Grundplatte 22 eingedrückt wird. Das Lösen der Wirkverbindung erfolgt in umgekehrter Weise.In this example, the holding elements 21 each consist of a small rosette-shaped base plate 22 with a central recess 23. At the end of the bracket 9, a rosette 24 corresponding to the base plate 22 in shape and size is formed, which has a mandrel 25 on the underside facing the base plate 22. After inserting the bracket 9 into the pocket 8, it can be fixed in a simple manner by pressing the mandrel 25 into the recess 23 of the base plate 22.
