Definitions

• 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.
• a bra is known from document FR-A-0 941 366.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• FIG. 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.
• the holding elements 21 each consist of a small rosette-shaped base plate 22 with a central recess 23.
• 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.
