Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for fixing an absorbent pad to a bra, the absorbent pad being fixed, in use, to the fixing device by suitable means, so as to be placed in the hollow of armpit.
- Body odor where the acrid smell of perspiration often plays a main role, is combated by various means ranging from simple perfume to the most sophisticated deodorants. These means, however, only serve to hide the odor of perspiration or to neutralize it, but the fact remains that the skin continues to sweat, sometimes causing very visible wet halos on clothing, in particular under the armpits. .
- a third solution consists in placing a sort of pocket in the armhole into which the absorbent pad is introduced. This solution is found in the documents CH 149 070, US 3,744,056, DE 30 43 182 and DE 89 07 267.
- a fourth solution consists in fixing the free part of the pad to the user's arms by means of elastic bands.
- this attachment can quickly become unpleasant due to the tension and friction caused by the presence of the elastic.
- the bra is a garment of a different type.
- the headband and strap do not form an armhole such that those considered previously. Indeed, the banner is located much lower than the armholes envisaged in the documents cited above.
- a half-pad such as that proposed in the document FR 2 098 996 already cited, the pad is placed too far from the source of perspiration to absorb it. The garment worn over it is therefore not protected and the risk of halo formation is unchanged.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device for attaching an absorbent pad to a bra, which securely holds the absorbent pad at the armpit while reducing the risk of irritation due to friction. .
- the device of the invention which, in its position of use, remains substantially parallel to the torso of the user.
- the pad is thus kept in contact with the armpit cavity from which it can absorb perspiration without producing significant friction when the arms are moved because it does not follow their movements.
- the absorbent pad can be placed on one side of the fastener so that it only comes into contact with the wearer's torso. It can also be placed astride the top of the fastening device so that it comes into contact with the user's torso as well as with the upper arm when the latter is in the low position.
- the fastening device is secured to the bra by heat, by stitching or by means of a hook and loop attachment type Velcro ®.
- This fixing device is then an accessory that can be fixed to a conventional bra.
- the fixing may be final, in this case we will choose for example to attach it to the bra by heat-bonding or sewing.
- a removable fixing device in which case it can be fixed to the bra by a Velcro ® type fixing.
- This method of fixing the fixing device is very flexible. It allows to adapt to all models and all headband sizes. The wear of the headband is less than with a clamp type attachment.
- the "soft" part of the hook-and-loop strap should preferably be placed on the bra and the "rough" part on the fixing device.
- the hook-and-loop strap is attached to the bra by sewing, heat-sealing or any other suitable means.
- the fixing device is an integral part of the bra.
- the fixing device is formed by widening the band of the bra, intended to girdle the torso during use, in its part located below the armpit, so that the upper edge of this part of the headband is located near the hollow of the armpit when the bra is worn.
- the absorbent pad can be attached to the fastener in different ways.
- a first solution consists in providing the fastener and the complementary elements absorbent pad of a hook and loop attachment type Velcro ®.
- Another solution is to provide the absorbent pad with an adhesive fastening element.
- the pad can then be glued to the fixing device.
- a third solution consists in providing the fixing device with at least one pocket into which one of the ends of the absorbent pad can be introduced.
- the pouch can be placed either on one side or on both sides.
- the pocket can be associated with a fixing by Velcro elements and / or by adhesive element. Thanks to the pocket, the end of the cushion does not risk coming off. When two pockets are envisaged, it is possible that these two pockets cover practically all of the absorbent pad. Partial covering may be sufficient, especially if other fixing methods are provided in addition. On the other hand, if no other fixing is foreseen, it will be preferable to use a pocket entirely covering the cushion. For a better result and an increased comfort, it is preferable that the part of the pocket directed towards the body is permeable to moisture.
- the pouch will be obtained by fixing by a suitable means, for example by sewing, a strip of fabric on the fixing device.
- the fixing device is an integral part of the bra, the bottom of the pocket will be formed by the band of the bra.
- a bra provided with at least one fixing device according to the invention.
- a particular embodiment of a bra according to the invention provides that the band intended to girdle the torso when the bra is worn is wide enough in its part located below the armpit so that the edge upper of said band is located near it when the bra is worn.
- This solution allows the pad to be fixed directly to the bra while ensuring its secure positioning, even when the user makes wide movements. For a more secure hold of the pad, it may be necessary to provide the bra with this shape of a pocket preventing the separation by the edges of the absorbent pad.
- Figure 1 shows a bra provided with an absorbent pad fixed thereon using a removable fastening device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 represents a removable fixing device provided with two pockets partially covering an absorbent pad
- Figure 3 shows a bra, provided with an absorbent pad, the band is widened at the armpits in order to approach them.
- the fixing device (3) consists of a relatively rigid support (5) which is fixed to the bra (2) either definitively by sewing or heat-bonding or removably, for example by means of hook-and-loop fasteners ( 7).
- the fastening device (3) must be rigid enough to keep the absorbent pad (1) high enough and not become loose during use under the effect of heat and humidity.
- the rigidity of the support (5) can be obtained for example by sewing one on the other two strips of a cotton fabric reinforced by one or more thicknesses of fusible. These materials have the advantage of being very well supported, of not having an odor and of being easily washable with the rest of the laundry.
- the fixing device (3) thus produced is however flexible enough to adapt to the profile of the user.
- the absorbent pad (1) is fixed on the support (5) of the fixing device (3) by suitable means (6).
- a first economical means consists in providing the sealed face of the absorbent pad (1) with an adhesive strip (6). The pad (1) is then glued to the top of the support (5).
- Another solution consists in providing the cushion (1) with a self-gripping element complementary to a self-gripping element fixed on the top of the support (5). This solution has the advantage of allowing easy repositioning of the pad (1). It will be preferable that the “soft” part of the hook-and-loop elements is fixed on the support (5) and the “rough” part on the pad (1).
- a third solution consists in fixing at least on one side of the support (5) a strip so as to form the cavity of a pocket (4) into which one end of the pad is introduced.
- the pocket (4) need not completely cover the cushion (1). Partial covering may suffice, especially if other fixing methods (6) are provided in addition, such as for example the adhesive tape or the Velcro elements mentioned above.
- it will be preferable to use a pocket (4) covering almost entirely the pad (1).
- the part of the pouch (4) facing the body is permeable to moisture. It will even be mandatory if the pocket (4) completely covers the absorbent pad (1).
- the pocket (4) can be formed simply by fixing to the support (5) one or more strips of a suitable material such as fabric with suitable dimensions, so that the lower part of the pocket (4) is formed by the support (5). It can also be formed by a complete pocket, itself fixed to the support (5).
- Figure 2 shows how the absorbent pad (1) is placed astride the support (5) of the fixing device (3). It is however possible to use absorbent pads (1) of smaller dimensions which are fixed only on one face of the support (5). In this case, there will only be a pocket (4).
- FIG 3 shows an alternative to the fixing device (3) fixed to the bra (2) as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
- the band (8) of the bra (2) is widened at the armpits so that the upper edge (9) of the band (8) is located near the armpits when the bra (2) is worn.
- the enlargement of the strip fulfills the function of a fixing device (10).
- the shape of a bra (1) of this type allows the attachment of an absorbent pad (1) without having to use a pocket (4). Indeed, this pad (1) is firmly held by the strip (8) against the torso at the armpit.
- a pocket (4) may however be provided, in particular outside the strip (8) to fix the end of the absorbent pad and thus prevent it from coming off due to friction due to movements.
- this device (10) can be used both with an absorbent pad placed astride the upper edge (9) of the bra (2) as with a small pad fixed only on the internal face of the band (8 ). If the absorbent pad (1) is to be fixed with hook-and-loop fasteners, the "soft" element must be fixed on the fixing device (10) of the strip (8) and the " rough ”on the absorbent pad (1).
- the attachment device When attached to a bra and equipped with an absorbent pad, the attachment device helps absorb perspiration exuded from the armpits.
- the fastening device does not directly follow the movements of the arms, friction is limited to the maximum. By choosing a relatively rigid support, it is however certain to maintain the absorbent pad at the level of the armpit.
