Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bügelanordnung für Büstenhalter mit einem U-förmigen Versteifungsbügel zur Aufnahme in einer jeweils entlang des unteren Randes der Büstenkörbchen verlaufenden Tasche.The invention relates to a strap assembly for bras with a U-shaped Stiffening bracket for receiving in each case along the lower edge of the Bust basket extending pocket.
Formhaltende oder Versteifungsbügel für Büstenhalter bestehen üblicherweise aus einem verhältnismäßig steifen, sprungelastischen Material, wie z.B. Metall oder Kunststoff, die in jeweils eine längliche, aus textilem Material gebildete, entlang der Büstenansatznaht verlaufende und an den Enden geschlossene Tasche eingelegt sind. Um sicherzustellen, dass der jeweilige Versteifungsbügel innerhalb der Tasche seine Lage bezüglich des jeweiligen Büstenkörbchens beibehält, sich innerhalb der Tasche also nicht verschieben kann, muss die Länge der Tasche der Länge des Bügels entsprechen.Mold-holding or stiffening braces for bras usually exist of a relatively stiff, spring-elastic material, e.g. metal or plastic, each in an elongated, formed from textile material, running along the buster seam and closed at the ends Pocket are inserted. To ensure that the particular stiffener inside the bag its position relative to the respective bust basket maintains, so within the pocket can not move, the length must be the bag correspond to the length of the strap.
Beim Waschen des Büstenhalters, also bei der Benetzung des textilen Materials mit Wasser bzw. Waschlauge, tritt eine Schrumpfung des textilen Materials, der sogenannte Waschkrumpf, auf. Da der in der Tasche eingeschlossene Bügel der daraus folgenden Verkürzung der Tasche nicht folgen kann, müsste er von vornherein entsprechend verkürzt eingearbeitet werden. Dies ermöglicht aber für eine gewisse Zeit Verschiebungen des Bügels innerhalb der Tasche und beeinträchtigt ein korrektes Anliegen des Büstenhalters am Körper, was durch einen solchen Bügel gerade erreicht werden soll.When washing the brassiere, so when wetting the textile material with water or washing liquor, occurs a shrinkage of the textile material, the so-called washing crumb, on. Since the enclosed in the bag strap of from the following shortening of the bag can not follow, he would have to be incorporated in advance accordingly shortened. But this allows for a certain time shifts the strap inside the bag and Affects a correct abutment of the bra on the body, resulting in such a strap just to be achieved.
Wird der Bügel passend eingearbeitet, führt dies zu einer Druckbelastung des Bügels in seiner Längsrichtung. Infolge dieser Druckbelastung kann entweder der Bügel brechen oder es kommt, vor allem bei häufigen Wäschen in einer Waschmaschine, zum Durchstoßen des Materials der Tasche. Hat sich ein derartiger Bügel aber einmal 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. Aus diesem Grund wird vielfach empfohlen, solche Büstenhalter nur von Hand zu waschen. Eine Handwäsche ist jedoch aufwendig und befriedigt jedenfalls dann nicht, wenn im Gewirke des textilen Materials Baumwolle enthalten ist, deren Verschmutzung durch eine Handwäsche bei niedrigen Temperaturen kaum beseitigt werden kann.If the bracket is incorporated appropriately, this leads to a pressure load of the Stirrups in its longitudinal direction. As a result of this pressure load can either the Ironing break or it comes, especially with frequent washes in one Washing machine, for piercing the material of the bag. Has one but such a temple once completely detached from the laundry, then there is the Risk of it passing through the holes in the washing drum and the can block further rotation of the washing drum. For this reason It is often recommended to wash such bras only by hand. A Hand washing, however, is expensive and certainly does not satisfy, if in the Knitted fabrics of textile material containing cotton is their pollution can hardly be removed by hand washing at low temperatures.
Um solche Büstenhalter dennoch in der Waschmaschine waschen zu können, ist es auch 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). Auch ist es bekannt, herausnehmbare Bügel an den Enden gegenüber dem Büstenhalter zu fixieren, einerseits, um Längsverschiebungen der Bügel in dem Bügelkanal, andererseits aber auch, um das unbeabsichtigte Heraustreten der Bügel aus den zum Einschieben bzw. Herausnehmen benötigten Öffnungen zu verhindern (EP 0 853 894 A1).To be able to wash such bras still in the washing machine, is It is also known to form the pockets for receiving the stirrups in such a way that the The iron is removed for washing and then pushed back in again can. For this purpose, an opening, e.g. one transverse to the direction of extension of the pocket extending slot, provided or covered the end of the bag by a transversely extending band, so to avoid unintentional emergence of the bracket (EP 0 752 213 A1). It is also known, removable brackets at the ends opposite the To fix bra, on the one hand, to longitudinal displacements of the temple in the Ironing, on the other hand, but to the unintentional emergence of the Strap from the openings required for insertion or removal prevent (EP 0 853 894 A1).
Auch das Entfernen der Bügel vor dem Waschen ist aber keine allgemein befriedigende Lösung. Zusätzlich zu dem Waschvorgang sind nämlich Manipulationen an dem Büstenhalter erforderlich, um die Bügel herauszunehmen und wieder einzusetzen. Da die Bügel meist an eine bestimmte Form oder Schnittführung eines Büstenhalters angepasst sind, kann dies dazu führen, dass bei gleichzeitiger Wäsche mehrerer Büstenhalter deren Bügel vertauscht werden.But the removal of the strap before washing is not general satisfactory solution. In addition to the washing process are namely Manipulation of the bra required to remove the straps and reinstate. As the hangers are usually attached to a particular shape or Cut adjustment of a brassiere, this may cause with simultaneous washing of several bras their brackets are reversed.
Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Möglichkeit zu schaffen, um Versteifungsbügel zwar unverschiebbar und unverlierbar jeweils in einer Tasche eines Büstenhalters unterzubringen, aber dennoch die Gefahr zu beseitigen, dass auch infolge der nach mehreren Wäschen eintretenden Schrumpfung des Materials des Büstenhalters die Bügel nicht brechen oder an den Enden nicht das Material durchstoßen und aus dem Bügelkanal heraustreten können.Against this background, the invention is based on the object Possibility to create stiffeners while immovable and Captive each in a bag of a brassiere, but Nevertheless, the risk to eliminate that also as a result of several washes Incoming shrinkage of the material of the brassiere does not cause the straps break or pierce the material at the ends and out of the Ironing channel can emerge.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the specified in claim 1 Characteristics solved.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous developments emerge from the subclaims.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, dem Versteifungsbügel eine Möglichkeit zur Verringerung seiner Gesamtlänge zu geben, damit er der durch Waschvorgänge eintretenden Schrumpfung des Materials des Büstenhalters folgen kann, ohne jedoch seinen festen Sitz im Bügelkanal zu verlieren. Für diesen grundsätzlichen Lösungsansatz gibt es unterschiedliche Detaillösungen.The basic idea of the invention is to provide the stiffening bar with a Possibility to reduce its overall length so that it can be replaced by Washing operations occurring shrinkage of the material of the brassiere can follow, but without losing its tight seat in the bracket channel. For There are different detailed solutions to this basic approach.
Die Möglichkeit der Längenveränderung kann einerseits durch Einbau eines Druckfederelementes erreicht werden, das zwar eine elastische Verkürzung des betreffenden Bügels ermöglicht, aber auch danach noch so viel Federweg zur Verfügung hat, um nach maximaler Schrumpfung des Materials des Büstenhalters etwaigen Verformungen beim Tragen des Büstenhalters elastisch folgen zu können.The possibility of length change can on the one hand by installation of a Compression spring element can be achieved, although an elastic shortening of the appropriate bracket allows, but also after so much travel to Has to order for maximum shrinkage of the material of the brassiere any deformations when wearing the brassiere elastically follow can.
Weitere Möglichkeiten bestehen darin, eine reibschlüssige, gegebenenfalls rastenartige Verkürzung des Bügels zuzulassen und schließlich darin, an den Enden des Bügels ein Element aus einem Material anzuordnen, das in der Lage ist, Druckbeanspruchungen in einer Richtung durch elastische oder plastische Verformung in anderen Richtungen auszuweichen. Other options include a frictional, possibly to allow the snap-like shortening of the stirrup, and finally, in the, to the Ends of the bracket to arrange an item of a material that is capable is compressive stresses in one direction by elastic or plastic To avoid deformation in other directions.

Wie Fig. 1 zeigt, besteht ein Büstenhalter 1 mit Versteifungsbügeln 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 eingearbeitet, 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. As shown in Fig. 1, a brassiere 1 with stiffening brackets consists of two
Side parts 2, in the front middle region 3 of the brassiere 1
merged and at the outer ends with
Entlang der Büstenansatznähte 5 der Körbchen 6 verlaufen Taschen 8, in die
jeweils Versteifungsbügel 9 eingesetzt sind. Die Taschen 8 können von außen

ausgebildet bzw. herausgearbeitet sein.Along the bust seams 5 of the basket 6 are
Die einzelnen Teile des Büstenhalters 1 bestehen aus textilem Material, das ganz oder in Teilbereichen auch dehnbar ausgebildet sein kann. 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, the whole or in parts can also be designed stretchable. The application of The invention is not limited to the described embodiment of a brassiere limited; In principle, it can be used with all women's underwear articles on or elaborated bust section with stiffening bars including Swimsuits are used.
In den Fig. 2 und 3 ist eine erste Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäß
ausgebildeten Versteifungsbügels dargestellt. Der Bügel 10 besteht in an sich
bekannter Weise aus einem steifen, sprungelastischen Material, wie z.B. Metall
oder Kunststoff. Der Bügel 10 kann eckigen, insbesondere rechteckigen, oder
runden Querschnitt haben. Der Bügel 10 ist in etwa der dargestellten U-Form
vorgebogen; eine gewisse Unsymmetrie folgt aus der Konstruktion des
Büstenhalters, der im vorderen mittleren Bereich 3 nicht so hoch hinaufreicht wie
in den seitlichen äußeren Randbereichen. Dargestellt ist, wie an den beiden
Enden 10a, 10b des Bügels 10 längenveränderliche Elemente 11 angeordnet sind,
von denen eines gemäß Detail III in den Fig. 3a und b im Längsschnitt in
größerem Maßstab dargestellt ist.In Figs. 2 and 3, a first embodiment of an invention
trained stiffening bracket shown. The
Das längenveränderliche Element 11 besteht im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel
aus einer Hülse 12, die am oberen Ende durch eine Kappe 13 abgeschlossen ist.
Das Element 11 besteht aus Metall oder Kunststoff. In der Hülse 12 ist ein nur an
deren Unterseite offener Hohlraum 14 gebildet. In diesen Hohlraum 14 reicht das
Ende 10a des Bügels 10 hinein. Dabei entspricht der Querschnitt des Hohlraums
14 im Umriss demjenigen des Bügels 10, so dass eine Längsverschiebung
zwischen dem Element 11 und dem Bügel 10 erfolgen kann. Am Grunde des
Hohlraums 14 ist ein kleines Druckfederelement 15 eingesetzt, gegen welches das
Ende 10a des Bügels 10 wirkt.The variable-
In Fig. 3a ist der Auslieferungszustand des Bügels bzw. des Büstenhalters
dargestellt, also der Zustand, in dem der Bügel 10 einschließlich der
längenveränderlichen Elemente 11 die größte Länge hat und in die Tasche 8
eingesetzt wird. Tritt durch ein oder mehrere Waschvorgänge eine Schrumpfung
des textilen Materials des Büstenhalters 1, insbesondere der Tasche 8 ein, dann
führt diese Schrumpfung zu einer Stauchung des Federelements 15 mit der Folge,
dass sich die Gesamtlänge des Bügels 10 um die Länge ΔI an jedem Bügelende
verringert (Fig. 3b).In Fig. 3a, the delivery state of the bracket or the brassiere
represented, that is, the state in which the
Die Federkraft des Federelements 15 und die Länge der Hülse 12 bzw. die Länge
des Hohlraums 14 sind so zu wählen, dass im Endzustand, also bei maximalem
Waschkrumpf, noch immer ein gewisser Federweg zur Verfügung steht, um
geringe Bewegungen beim Tragen des Büstenhalters zuzulassen. Je länger die
längenveränderlichen Elemente 11 sind, desto mehr ist auch ein Ausgleich der
heute sehr häufigen unterschiedlichen Bügellängen möglich.The spring force of the
Bei dem in den Fig. 4 und 5 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel, in denen Fig. 5 das
Detail V der Fig. 4 in größerem Maßstab zeigt, bestehen die längenveränderlichen
Elemente 21 aus kleinen kugelförmigen Hüllen 22 aus einem elastischen
Kunststoff, die einen Füllstoff 23 umschließen. Während der elastische Kunststoff
22 dicht sein muss, kann der Füllstoff 23 aus unterschiedlichem Material
bestehen; er kann kompressibel sein, wie z.B. ein Gas, er kann aber auch
inkompressibel, dabei verformbar sein, wie z.B. Gummi, oder er kann
inkompressibel und fließfähig sein, wie z.B. ein Gel (Fig. 5a).In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in which Fig. 5 the
Detail V of Fig. 4 shows on a larger scale, there are the variable-
Fig. 5b zeigt, wie das Element 21 sich verformt, wenn der Bügel 10 bei
Verkürzung des Materials der Tasche 8 eine Druckkraft in Richtung des Pfeils 24
auf das Element 21 ausübt. Während durch das Volumen des Bügelendes 10a
eine Eindrückung erfolgt, weicht das dadurch verdrängte Material zur Seite und
nach rückwärts hin aus. Fig. 5c zeigt einen Zustand bei stärkerer Verkürzung der
Tasche 8 und macht deutlich, wie auch durch diese Konstruktion eine
Längenänderung ΔI der Gesamtlänge des Bügels 10 erfolgen kann.Fig. 5b shows how the
Eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist noch in den Fig. 6 und 7
angedeutet, in denen wiederum Fig. 7 das Detail VII nach Fig. 6 zeigt. Auch hier
besteht das längenveränderliche Element 31 aus einer Hülse 32, die durch eine
Kappe 33 abgeschlossen ist und einen inneren Hohlraum 34 bildet. Die
Innenwand dieses Hohlraums 34 ist aber nicht glatt, sondern wellenförmig profiliert
(35). Eine entsprechende Profilierung 36 trägt das Ende 10a des Bügels 10. Das
Element 31 besteht in diesem Fall aus einem Kunststoff, der in der Lage ist, sich
bei auftretenden Axialkräften zu verformen, so dass die durch die wellenförmige
Profilierung erzeugten Rastungen überwunden werden und das Element 31 sich
gegenüber dem Bügel 10 verschieben kann. Um zu verhindern, dass in dem noch
verbliebenen Hohlraum 34 komprimierte Luft ein Polster bildet und diese
Verschiebung behindern könnte, ist ein Entlüftungskanal 37 vorgesehen.A further embodiment of the invention is still shown in FIGS. 6 and 7
indicated, in turn, Fig. 7 shows the detail VII of Fig. 6. Here too
the variable-
In Fig. 2 ist gestrichelt auch die Möglichkeit angedeutet, dass ein
längenveränderliches Element 38 etwa im Scheitelpunkt des Versteifungsbügels
10 unterhalb der Büstenkörbchen angeordnet sein könnte. Ein solches Element 38
kann, da es ein oder zwei an den Bügelenden angeordnete längenveränderliche
Elemente 11 ersetzen bzw. diesen in der Wirkung entsprechen muss,
grundsätzlich in gleicher Weise ausgestaltet sein wie die Elemente, die anhand
der Fig. 3, 5 und 7 oben beschrieben wurden. Wesentlich ist, dass der zum Zweck
der Längenveränderlichkeit an dieser Stelle geteilte Bügel mit den der Trennstelle
benachbarten Endbereichen in dem Element 38 wie in einer Hülse teleskopartig
geführt sein muss, d.h. die Verbindung muss die Übertragung von
Biegemomenten zulassen, um die Formungseigenschaften eines mit einem
solchen Versteifungsbügel ausgestatteten Büstenhalters nicht zu beeinträchtigen.In Fig. 2, the possibility is indicated by dashed lines that a
