Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for fixing an absorbent pad on a bra, the absorbent pad being fixed, during use, to the fixation by appropriate means, so as to be placed in the hollow of the armpit.
  • Body odor where the pungent smell of perspiration often plays a major role, is combated by various means ranging from simple perfume to the most sophisticated. However, these means only serve to hide the smell of perspiration or to neutralize it but the fact remains that the skin continues to sweat in sometimes causing very visible wet halos on clothing, especially under the armpits.
  • the pad is fixed in the armhole of a clothing.
  • the fixing is ensured by adhesive strips.
  • This second solution is used in particular in documents US 3,727,237, FR 2,268,479, US 3,156,924 and US 4,545,080.
  • a variant of this solution is to attach the absorbent pad to using loops themselves attached to the garment as proposed in the document FR 2 098 996.
  • a third solution is to place a sort of pocket in the armhole into which the absorbent pad is introduced. This solution is found in 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 bearing to the arms of the user by means of elastic bands.
  • this fixation can prove very quickly unpleasant due to the tension and friction caused by the presence of the elastic.
  • the bra is a piece of clothing of a different type.
  • the headband and strap do not form an armhole such that those previously considered.
  • the banner is located much lower than the armholes envisaged in the documents cited above.
  • the objective of the invention is to propose a device for fixing a pad absorbent on a bra, which securely holds the absorbent pad at the armpit level while reducing the risk of irritation due to friction.
  • the fixing device of the invention which consists of a relatively rigid support fixed to the bra or which is formed by widening the bra band intended to girdle the torso during the use in its part located below the armpit, so that the upper bound of this part of the headband is located near the hollow of the armpit when the bra is worn, in order to maintain the absorbent pad, in its position of use, substantially parallel to the torso of the wearer.
  • the pad is thus kept in contact with the armpit cavity 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 fixing device so that it does not come into contact than with the user'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 only with the top of his arm when it is in the low position.
  • the relatively rigid support can be fixed on the bra by heat-bonding, by sewing or by means of a hook-and-loop fastening Velcro® type.
  • This fixing device is then an accessory that can be attach to a classic bra.
  • the fixation could be final, in this case choose for example to attach it to the bra by heat-bonding or sewing.
  • a removable fastening device in which case it can be attached to the bra by a Velcro® type fastening.
  • This method of fixing the fixing device is very flexible. It allows to adapt to all models and all headband sizes. usury of the headband is less than with a clamp type attachment.
  • the hook-and-loop strap is attached to the bra by sewing, heat sealing or by any other appropriate means.
  • the absorbent pad can be attached in different ways to the fixation.
  • a first solution consists in providing the fixing device and the bearing . absorbent of additional elements of a Velcro® type hook and loop fastening. In this case, it will be preferable, especially when the fixing device is not removable, to place the "soft" part of the hook-and-loop fastener on the fastening device and the "rough" part on the pad. Thus, it will be possible not to place a pad absorbent, without being hindered by the fastening element remaining free on the device of fixation.
  • Another solution is to provide the absorbent pad with a fastening element adhesive.
  • 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 end of the absorbent pad can be inserted.
  • the pouch can be placed either on one side or on both sides.
  • the cover can be associated with fixing by hook-and-loop elements and / or by adhesive element. Thanks to the pocket, the end of the cushion is not likely to come off. When two pockets are being considered, It is possible that these two pockets practically cover the whole absorbent pad. Partial recovery may be sufficient, especially if other fixing methods are provided in addition. On the other hand, if no other fixation is provided, It will be preferable to use a pouch completely covering the pad For a better result and increased comfort, it is preferable that the part of the pouch directed towards the body is permeable to moisture.
  • the pouch will be obtained by fixing with a suitable means, for example by sewing, a strip of fabric on the device fixation. If the fastening device is an integral part of the bra, the bottom of the pocket will be formed by the bra band.
  • a bra provided with at least a fixing device according to the invention.
  • a particular embodiment of a bra according to the invention provides that the band intended to surround the torso when the bra is worn is wide enough in its part located under the armpit so that the edge upper of said band is located near it when the bra is worn. This solution allows you to directly attach the pad to the bra while ensuring safe positioning, even when the user makes large movements. For a more secure hold of the pad, it may be necessary to fit the bra of this form of a pocket preventing detachment by the edges of the pad absorbent.
  • the fixing device (3) consists of a relatively rigid support (5) which is fixed to the bra (2) either permanently by sewing or by heat-bonding or removably, for example by means of hook-and-loop elements (7).
  • the fastening device (3) must be rigid enough to hold the bearing absorbent (1) high enough and does 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, have no smell and be easily washable with the rest of the laundry.
  • the device fixing (3) thus produced is however flexible enough to adapt to the profile of the wearer.
  • the absorbent pad (1) is fixed on the support (5) of the fixing device (3) by appropriate means (6).
  • a first economic means consists in providing the face waterproof absorbent pad (1) with adhesive tape (6).
  • the bearing (1) is then glued to the top of the support (5).
  • Another solution is to provide the pad (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 bearing (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 bearing (1).
  • a third solution consists in fixing at least one side of the support (5) a strip so as to form the cavity of a pocket (4) in which one end of the pad is introduced.
  • the pocket (4) does not need to completely cover the pad (1). Partial covering may be sufficient, especially if other fixing methods (6) are additionally provided, such as adhesive tape or hook-and-loop fasteners previously mentioned. However, if no other fixing is planned, it will be better to use a pocket (4) covering almost entirely the pad (1). For a better result and increased comfort, it is preferable that the part of the pouch (4) directed towards 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 on the support (5) one or more strips of material suitable such as fabric with suitable dimensions, so that the lower part of the pocket (4) is constituted 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 pads absorbents (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 strip (8) is located near armpits when the bra (2) is worn.
  • the widening of the headband fills the fixing device function (10).
  • the shape of a bra (1) of this type allows fixing 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 armpit level.
  • a pocket (4) can however be provided, in particular outside of the strip (8) to fix the end of the absorbent pad and prevent it from getting takes off due to friction due to movements.
  • this device (10) can be used both with a absorbent pad placed astride the upper edge (9) of the bra (2) than a small cushion fixed only on the internal face of the strip (8). If the pad absorbent (1) must be fixed with hook-and-loop fasteners, the "soft" element on the fixing device (10) of the strip (8) and the "rough” element on the absorbent pad (1).
  • the fastening device When attached to a bra and fitted with an absorbent pad, the fastening device helps absorb perspiration exuded from the armpits.
  • the fastening device not directly following arm movements, friction are limited to the maximum.
