Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bra with two each with a bust part side panels.
  • Brassieres of the type mentioned here are known. They serve the weight of the breast at least to be partially borne or supported and possibly the breast in the desired Shape way.
  • bras that a front cup with bust and with it has side parts connected by seams, with the front part and possibly the side parts from two superimposed layers of fabric (top- and underclothes) that exist in their marginal areas are sewn together. Between the two Fabric layers is another elastic layer provided that the reinforcement of the front part in Area of the bust cup. This additional Layer is made of an elastic knitted fabric.
  • the bra also has one with the Front part and the side parts connected reinforcement device on. Because of the many parts of the Brassieres and their time-consuming connection together are the cost of the bra correspondingly high.
  • a bra with the features of claim 1 proposed.
  • This is characterized in that the side parts and the front part from the elastic knitted fabric and the associated reinforcement device exist.
  • the elastic knitted fabric is found in well-known bras only as auxiliary material, for example as lining material, use.
  • the bra has few parts, it can manufactured in a simple manner and therefore inexpensively become.
  • the invention Brassieres compared to known bras with several layers of fabric on top of each other only a small thickness so that it is under the Outer clothing of the person wearing it, if any only slightly noticeable.
  • the elastic knitted fabric particularly thin and transparent, So not opaque, so it is appropriate Color selection when worn very unremarkable is and the impression of a viewer arises that the wearer has none at all Bra is wearing.
  • the elastic Knitted fabric is a fabric (textile material) made from at least two crossing thread systems there is one, also known as a shot first thread system one in the transverse direction of the fabric running thread group and one also called a chain Thread system crossing the weft has second thread group. Because of the structure the elastic knitted fabric can be easily realized, that these are only in one Direction is elastic or in two directions has the same or different elasticities. You only need to do this for the shot and the Chain used a corresponding material become.
  • the fabric is preferably transparent, which, for example, is only due to the gaps between the threads is effected. This can increase transparency be reinforced by a for the threads transparent material is used.
  • the elastic Knitted fabric is also thermoplastic.
  • the bust cups in easily manufactured, for example in a molding process.
  • the bust cups will preferably only formed after that Reinforcement part already with the front part and the Side panels is connected.
  • An advantageous embodiment variant stands out characterized in that the elastic knitted fabric at usual Wearing the bra in the circumferential direction a person wearing the bra greater elasticity than in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the upper body. This will a desired shape and support of the breasts reached.
  • the elastic knitted fabric can basically be made of the most varied Materials. Prefers becomes an embodiment in which the elastic Knitted fabric made of approx. 81% polyamide and approx 19% Lycra is made. The one made from it Knitted fabric tends to at higher temperatures that are well above 100 ° C to become soft.
  • the elastic knitted fabric preferably has a thickness on, which is in the range of 180 microns to 280 microns and is preferably about 250 microns. The elastic Knitted fabric is therefore extremely thin, making it a special one flat and light brassiere possible is.
  • the reinforcement device comprises at least one reinforcing part that is not sewn to the front and the side parts, but connected cohesively and / or positively is.
  • the front part and the side parts can so be executed seamlessly.
  • the reinforcement part serves to increase the shaping power and is preferably formed in one piece.
  • Connecting the reinforcement part to the side parts and the front part is at an advantageous Embodiment by means of a printing and Heat treatment. It is important that the The melting point of the elastic knitted fabric is higher than the melting point of the reinforcing member material.
  • the parts are connected by that both parts or possibly also only the reinforcement part at least until respectively about the melting point of the reinforcing part material be heated, for example at about 180 ° C. Liquefied at this temperature the reinforcement part while the elastic The knitted fabric becomes soft at best. Then pressure is put on the one placed on the front part and the side parts, liquefied reinforcement part applied, so its material in the gaps between is pressed into the threads of the knitted textile and so when the parts cool down with the side parts and firmly connects the front part.
  • the bra is at least one reinforcement part formed by a film.
  • a film As special An existing made of polyurethane has been advantageous Slide out.
  • the film preferably has one in the range of 160 ⁇ m to 200 ⁇ m Thickness is extremely thin, preferably thinner than the elastic knitted fabric, which makes it overall a flat bra is feasible.
  • the for example, film can also be made from a breathable Material. If an airtight Material used for the film points these preferably a variety of extremely small, preferably hardly or with the naked eye unrecognizable holes on the inside of the bra is ventilated when wearing it becomes.
  • the film by means of the above Pressure and heat treatment with the elastic Knitted fabric which provides that the film liquefied by heating first and then by pressurizing the gaps between the threads of the knitted textile are pressed the front part and the side parts in the area, in which the film is connected to them, a thickness that is less than that from the Thickness of the elastic knitted fabric and the thickness of the Foil before connecting to the side panels and the sum formed in the front.
  • a thickness in the connection area only is approximately 400 ⁇ m.
  • the slide points preferably one over the elastic knitted fabric lower elasticity due to which the strength properties of the bra in the area of the Reinforcing part can be increased.
  • the function of the reinforcing part for example the film, namely reinforcement of the elastic Knitted fabric in the designated areas of the front part and the side parts, is adjustable to Example by selecting an appropriate material or its processing.
  • the reinforcing part, especially the film, not elastic is.
  • the reinforcing part in the circumferential direction (transverse direction) of the torso of the bra wearing Person and / or in longitudinal extension (vertical direction) of the upper body elastic the elasticities in the transverse and vertical directions the same or can be different.
  • A is preferred Embodiment in which the reinforcing part in the circumferential direction of the bra wearing Person has a higher elasticity than in the direction of the Has longitudinal extension of the upper body. Thereby the wearing properties of the bra improved.
  • An embodiment is particularly preferred of the bra, which is characterized by that the elasticity of the elastic knitted fabric and the film are coordinated so that after they are connected, the front part and the side parts in the circumferential direction and in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the upper body each have a desired elasticity.
  • an embodiment of the bra which is characterized by that the reinforcement part at least in the area of bust cups provided on the front has a first opening that is at least approximately is the same size as the bust cup diameter.
  • the reinforcement part covers not the bust cups, which are preferably in one Molding process introduced in the front part are.
  • the breasts are at least shaped here essentially only through the knitted textile.
  • the Inserting the bust cups in the front part by means of thermoplastic deformation is preferably carried out only after the elastic knitted fabric and the reinforcement part are connected to each other. This will cause the elastic knitted fabric to be reshaped prevented, provided this is for the purpose of connecting be heated with the reinforcement part should.
  • the reinforcement member has second openings has, which are arranged at a distance from each other are.
  • the second openings are special then advantageous if the reinforcement part from one impermeable to air or only very slightly air permeable material. On these stelae can be worn by the skin of the bra Person excreted moisture to the outside be dissipated. Form the second openings a kind of ventilation. So the second openings not the actual function of the reinforcement part affect, namely the bra in the designated areas, in particular to reinforce the edge areas and its central area, they are at a distance from each other and preferably to the edge areas of the side parts arranged.
  • the reinforcement part in the Edge areas of the side parts are continuous, i.e. closed educated.
  • the reinforcement part - as described above - a variety of small ones Have holes that serve the same purpose, like the second openings.

These parts can immediately or indirectly with the front part and the Side parts are connected. With appropriate The carrier can choose the material directly the front part and the side parts welded / glued become. Alternatively, the Carriers also indirectly with the front part and the Side parts are connected, for example by on the side parts and the front part attachments or rings by means of a material bond in a suitable manner attached to which the straps are attached can be.
  • one embodiment of the bra preferred that is completely free of seams is, which ensures a high level of comfort can be.
  • the parts of the bra for example the front part, the side parts, the Reinforcement part, the lock and the straps are therefore only glued together and / or welded. Because of this connection type (s) the bra can be compared to known ones Bras in which the above Parts are sewn together, cheaper getting produced.
  • bra which is a one-piece, transparent, thermoplastic in the bust cup area deformed outer material (front part, side parts) and also a one-piece and transparent, serving to reinforce the outer material and if necessary with holes or openings film provided for ventilation as inner material, which is connected to the outer material and has no seams.
