The inside wall of the cups (2) has, in the vertical direction, an elasticity of at most 60%, and at least 15% of the surface of said wall has the ability to adhere to the skin. The mid panel (4) has a horizontal elasticity of at least 20%, preferably of the order of 60 to 80%. The adhesion capacity of the inside wall of the cups (2) is due to the presence of a material that has a high coefficient of friction with respect to the skin, particularly of the silicone type.

Description

SOUS-VETEMENT FEMININ, NOTAMMENT SOUTIEN-GORGE, POUR LA WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR, IN PARTICULAR BRASS SUPPORT, FOR
PRATIQUE SPORTIVESPORTS PRACTICE
La présente invention concerne le domaine des sous-vêtements féminins, plus particulièrement destinés aux femmes lorsqu'elles pratiquent un sport. La pratique d'un sport occasionne des mouvements du corps qui, nécessairement, se répercutent par un déplacement relatif de la poitrine, déplacement qui peut provoquer une gêne voire constituer un inconvénient majeur. C'est notamment le cas lorsqu'il s'agit d'un sport au cours duquel le corps est animé d'un mouvement répétitif, notamment la course à pied. Les fabricants de sous-vêtements féminins ont cherché à remédier à cette difficulté en proposant des sous-vêtements réalisant un maintien plus ferme de la poitrine, par exemple à l'aide d'une armature plus renforcée ou encore en protégeant les seins dans des bonnets moulés à chaud. Néanmoins le confort obtenu par ces techniques laisse encore à désirer. Le but visé par la présente invention est de proposer un sous-vêtement féminin qui est de confection classique, c'est-à-dire dont les bonnets ne sont pas moulés à chaud et qui assure un soutien efficace et confortable de la poitrine lors de la pratique d'un sport.The present invention relates to the field of women's underwear, more particularly intended for women when they practice a sport. The practice of a sport causes movements of the body which, necessarily, reverberate by a relative displacement of the chest, displacement which can cause discomfort or even constitute a major disadvantage. This is particularly the case when it is a sport in which the body is animated by a repetitive movement, including running. Women's underwear manufacturers have sought to overcome this difficulty by providing undergarments that provide a firmer support for the chest, for example by using a reinforced reinforcement or by protecting the breasts in cups. hot molded. Nevertheless the comfort obtained by these techniques still leaves something to be desired. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a female undergarment which is of conventional construction, that is to say whose cups are not molded hot and which provides an effective and comfortable support of the chest during the practice of a sport.
Il s'agit d'un sous-vêtement féminin qui, de manière connue par le document US.4,655,224, comporte deux bonnets pour les seins ayant une paroi intérieure et éventuellement une paroi extérieure, une bande d'appui, disposée sous les bonnets et destinée à entourer le buste, deux éléments de soutien reliées d'une part aux bonnets dans le prolongement en hauteur de ceux-ci et d'autre part à un panneau arrière, un panneau médian s'étendant entre les deux bonnets et des panneaux latéraux s'étendant depuis les bonnets vers le panneau arrière.This is a female undergarment which, in a manner known from US Pat. No. 4,655,224, comprises two cups for the breasts having an inner wall and possibly an outer wall, a support band, placed under the cups and intended to surround the bust, two support elements connected on the one hand to the cups in the extension of their height and on the other hand to a rear panel, a median panel extending between the two cups and side panels extending from the cups to the back panel.
De manière caractéristique, selon la présente invention : a) La paroi intérieure des bonnets a dans le sens vertical une élasticité d'au plus de 60 %, et au moins 15 % de la surface de ladite paroi a une capacité d'adhérence avec la peau, et b) le panneau médian a une élasticité horizontale d'au moins 20 %, de préférence de l'ordre de 60 à 80 %.Typically, according to the present invention: a) The inner wall of the cups has in the vertical direction an elasticity of at most 60%, and at least 15% of the surface of said wall has a capacity of adhesion with the skin, and b) the median panel has a horizontal elasticity of at least 20%, preferably of the order of 60 to 80%.
Dans le présent texte, il est question de bonnets pour désigner, de manière générale, la zone du sous-vêtement qui est destinée à accueillir le sein, cette zone ayant une configuration tridimensionnelle et/ou étant réalisée dans un matériau adéquat pour épouser et soutenir le sein.In the present text, it is question of cups to designate, in general, the area of the undergarment which is intended to accommodate the breast, this zone having a three-dimensional configuration and / or being made of a suitable material to marry and support the breast.
De préférence chaque panneau latéral s'étend en partie sous un bonnet, au moins jusqu'au tiers externe dudit bonnet et possède dans la partie qui s'étend sous la partie basse du bonnet, une élasticité verticale réduite, étant au plus de 60 %.Preferably each side panel extends in part under a cup, at least up to the outer third of said cup and has in the portion which extends under the lower part of the cup, a reduced vertical elasticity, being at most 60% .
C'est la combinaison de ces différentes caractéristiques qui permet d'obtenir une amélioration substantielle du soutien et du confort des seins lors de la pratique du sport. S'agissant de la capacité d'adhérence, il n'est bien sûr pas question de faire adhérer la paroi intérieure du bonnet sur la peau mais simplement d'obtenir, grâce notamment à un fort coefficient de frottement avec la peau, un effet anti-glissement entre la paroi intérieure et la peau. Cet effet anti-glissement, en lien avec l'élasticité réduite, dans le sens vertical, du matériau constituant la paroi intérieure du bonnet et de préférence celui de la partie du panneau latéral se trouvant sous la partie basse du bonnet correspondant, contrarie le déplacement vertical du sein, vers le haut et/ou vers le bas, intervenant lors de la pratique du sport. La présence du panneau médian ayant une bonne élasticité horizontale ne contrarie pas l'ouverture de la cage thoracique et facilite la respiration.It is the combination of these different characteristics that makes it possible to obtain a substantial improvement in the support and comfort of the breasts during the practice of the sport. With regard to the adhesion capacity, it is of course not a question of adhering the inner wall of the cap on the skin but simply to obtain, thanks in particular to a high coefficient of friction with the skin, an anti-aging effect. sliding between the inner wall and the skin. This anti-slip effect, in connection with the reduced elasticity, in the vertical direction, of the material constituting the inner wall of the cup and preferably that of the part of the side panel located under the lower part of the corresponding cup, thwarts the displacement. vertical of the breast, upwards and / or downwards, intervening during the practice of the sport. The presence of the medial panel with good horizontal elasticity does not interfere with the opening of the chest and facilitates breathing.
Selon une variante de réalisation, la capacité d'adhérence de la paroi intérieure des bonnets est due à la présence d'une matière à fort coefficient de frottement avec la peau, notamment de type silicone, laquelle matière se présente soit sous la forme de plots, de vaguelettes ou d'une enduction complète, déposés sur le panneau dans lequel est formée la paroi intérieure du bonnet soit sous forme de fils intervenant dans la fabrication dudit panneau. On connaît déjà, dans le domaine de la lingerie féminine, la mise en œuvre du silicone, y compris pour sa capacité d'adhérence, notamment sous la forme de bande anti-glissement pour les chaussettes, bas et collants.According to an alternative embodiment, the adhesion capacity of the inner wall of the cups is due to the presence of a material with a high coefficient of friction with the skin, in particular of silicone type, which material is in the form of pads , ripples or a complete coating, deposited on the panel in which is formed the inner wall of the cup is in the form of son involved in the manufacture of said panel. Already known in the field of women's lingerie, the implementation of silicone, including its ability to adhere, especially in the form of anti-slip strip for socks, stockings and tights.
Selon un mode de réalisation de la variante ci-dessus, dans laquelle la matière à fort coefficient de frottement est appliquée sous forme de plots ou vaguelettes, chaque plot ou vaguelette a une surface unitaire de 1 à 30 mm2 et les plots ou vaguelettes sont espacés les uns des autres de manière à garder au matériau sur lequel ils sont appliqués toutes ses capacités de respirabilité, incluant la perméabilité à la transpiration. Selon une variante de réalisation, dans la partie supérieure de chaque bonnet, au moins 20 % de la surface de la paroi intérieure présente la capacité d'adhérence avec la peau. Cette disposition particulière permet de limiter au maximum le déplacement du sein vers le bas, grâce à l'effet anti-glissement de la partie supérieure du bonnet qui va à rencontre de ce déplacement. Selon une variante de réalisation, l'ensemble constitué par les éléments de soutien et le panneau arrière a, dans le sens vertical, une élasticité qui est au plus de 60 %. C'est, dans ce cas, toute la structure du sous-vêtement, allant d'un côté à l'autre de la bande d'appui, constituée par le panneau arrière, l'élément de soutien, la paroi intérieure des bonnets et la partie du panneau latéral se trouvant sous la partie basse du bonnet, qui présente cette élasticité d'au plus 60 % dans le sens vertical.According to an embodiment of the above variant, in which the high friction material is applied in the form of pads or wavelets, each pad or wavelet has a unit area of 1 to 30 mm 2 and the pads or wavelets are spaced from each other so as to keep to the material on which they are applied all its breathability capabilities, including permeability to perspiration. According to an alternative embodiment, in the upper part of each cup, at least 20% of the surface of the inner wall has the ability to adhere to the skin. This particular arrangement makes it possible to limit as much as possible the movement of the breast downwards, thanks to the anti-sliding effect of the upper part of the cup which goes against this movement. According to an alternative embodiment, the assembly constituted by the support elements and the rear panel has, in the vertical direction, an elasticity which is at most 60%. It is, in this case, the entire structure of the undergarment, going from one side to the other of the support strip, constituted by the rear panel, the support element, the inner wall of the cups and the part of the side panel under the lower part of the cup, which has this elasticity of not more than 60% in the vertical direction.
Selon une variante de réalisation, un panneau latéral s'étend sous un bonnet jusqu'au panneau médian.According to an alternative embodiment, a side panel extends under a cap to the median panel.
Selon une variante de réalisation, un panneau latéral ou une portion de panneau latéral s'étend sur une partie latérale du bonnet, ayant une élasticité réduite dans le sens horizontal. Cette disposition a pour but de limiter le déplacement transversal externe du sein.According to an alternative embodiment, a side panel or a side panel portion extends on a side portion of the cup, having a reduced elasticity in the horizontal direction. This provision aims to limit the external transverse displacement of the breast.
Selon une variante de réalisation, le sous-vêtement comporte une pièce de liaison ayant, dans le sens vertical, une élasticité réduite, qui est au plus de 15 %, ladite pièce de liaison présentant deux portions de côté formant la liaison entre les éléments de soutien et la bande d'appui et une portion transversale reliant lesdites portions de côté au-dessus des bonnets en sorte qu'elle s'applique sur le haut de la poitrine. Du fait de son élasticité verticale réduite, la portion transversale de cette pièce de liaison permet de limiter le rebond des seins lors de la pratique du sport. La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va être faite de trois exemples de réalisation d'un sous-vêtement pour la pratique sportive, illustré par le dessin annexé dans lequel :According to an alternative embodiment, the undergarment comprises a connecting piece having, in the vertical direction, a reduced elasticity, which is at most 15%, said connecting piece having two side portions forming the connection between the elements of support and the support strip and a transverse portion connecting said side portions above the cups so that it is applied to the upper chest. Due to its reduced vertical elasticity, the transverse portion of this connecting piece limits the rebound of the breasts during the practice of the sport. The present invention will be better understood on reading the description that will be given of three embodiments of an undergarment for sports practice, illustrated by the appended drawing in which:
- la figure 1 est une représentation schématique vue de face, uniquement de la partie avant d'un premier exemple de soutien-gorge, - la figure 2 est une représentation schématique vue de face de la partie avant d'un second exemple,FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of only the front part of a first example of a bra, FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic front view of the front part of a second example,
- la figure 3 est une représentation schématique, vue de face, de la partie avant d'un troisième exemple.- Figure 3 is a schematic representation, front view, of the front portion of a third example.
Le sous-vêtement de la présente invention est de construction classique, la conformation tridimensionnelle des bonnets résultant de la confection et non pas d'un moulage à chaud du matériau utilisé.The undergarment of the present invention is of conventional construction, the three-dimensional conformation of the cups resulting from the manufacture and not of a hot molding of the material used.
Selon le premier exemple de réalisation, le soutien-gorge 1 , illustré à la figure 1 , comporte deux bonnets 2, prolongés vers le haut par deux éléments de soutien 3 et séparés l'un de l'autre par un panneau médian 4. Il comporte également une bande d'appui 5, élastique, qui est disposée transversalement sous les bonnets 2 et sous le panneau médian 4 et qui est destinée à enserrer le buste. De plus, il comporte deux panneaux latéraux 6 qui s'étendent depuis les bonnets 2 vers l'arrière. Chacun de ces panneaux latéraux 6 s'étend en partie sous un bonnet 2, au moins jusqu'au tiers externe de celui-ci. Dans le premier exemple illustré à la figure 1 , chaque panneau latéral 6 a son bord avant 6a qui jouxte le panneau médian 4 et se trouve sensiblement à égale distance entre le plan central PP' du bonnet 2 et le plan médian QQ' du soutien- gorge 1.According to the first exemplary embodiment, the bra 1, illustrated in FIG. 1, comprises two cups 2, extended upwards by two support elements 3 and separated from each other by a median panel 4. also comprises a resilient support strip 5, which is arranged transversely under the cups 2 and under the medial panel 4 and which is intended to grip the bust. In addition, it has two side panels 6 which extend from the cups 2 to the rear. Each of these side panels 6 extends in part under a cap 2, at least to the outer third thereof. In the first example illustrated in FIG. 1, each lateral panel 6 has its front edge 6a which abuts the median panel 4 and is substantially equidistant between the central plane PP 'of the cup 2 and the median plane QQ' of the support member. throat 1.
Le panneau médian 4 est élastique à la fois verticalement et horizontalement, avec une élasticité horizontale qui est d'au moins 20 % et de préférence de 60 à 80 %. C'est cette élasticité horizontale qui permet le déplacement relatif des seins, par rapport au plan médian QQ', lors de l'ouverture de la cage thoracique provoquée par la respiration.The medial panel 4 is resilient both vertically and horizontally, with a horizontal elasticity of at least 20% and preferably 60 to 80%. It is this horizontal elasticity that allows the Relative displacement of the breasts, relative to the medial plane QQ ', during the opening of the thoracic cavity caused by breathing.
Dans sa partie inférieure 6b, sous la partie basse du bonnet, chaque panneau latéral 6 possède, dans le sens vertical, une élasticité qui est au plus de 60 %. Dans la partie 6c, sur le côté externe du bonnet 2, chaque panneau latéral a une élasticité horizontale réduite, par exemple inférieure à 15 %. Les deux parties 6b et 6c peuvent faire partie du même panneau latéral 6, comme illustré ou éventuellement de deux panneaux latéraux distincts.In its lower part 6b, under the lower part of the cup, each side panel 6 has, in the vertical direction, an elasticity which is at most 60%. In part 6c, on the outer side of the cup 2, each side panel has a reduced horizontal elasticity, for example less than 15%. The two parts 6b and 6c can be part of the same side panel 6, as illustrated or possibly two separate side panels.
Dans le cas où le bord avant 6a du panneau latéral 6 s'arrête au plan central PP1 du bonnet 2, la zone qui s'étend entre ledit bord avant 6a et le panneau médian 4 peut être réalisée dans un matériau identique à celui formé pour la face intérieure du bonnet 2. Eventuellement, le panneau médian 4 peut être prolongé pour occuper totalement cette zone.In the case where the front edge 6a of the side panel 6 stops at the central plane PP 1 of the cap 2, the zone which extends between said front edge 6a and the median panel 4 can be made of a material identical to that formed for the inner face of the cup 2. Optionally, the median panel 4 can be extended to fully occupy this area.
Quant au bonnet 2, il a une configuration tridimensionnelle obtenue par assemblage, lors de la confection, de deux panneaux de configuration adéquate, selon une ligne d'assemblage. Sur les figures, la ligne d'assemblage s'étend du bord interne inférieur du bonnet jusqu'au bord externe supérieur. Ceci n'est bien sûr pas limitatif. Sa paroi intérieure a dans le sens vertical une élasticité qui est au plus de 60 %. De plus, au moins 15 % de la surface totale de ladite paroi a une capacité d'adhérence avec la peau, étant pourvue de vaguelettes de silicone ayant chacun une dimension de l'ordre de 24 mm 2. La distance entre chaque vaguelette est de l'ordre de quelques mm de manière à ne pas diminuer significativement la respirabilité dudit matériau. La répartition des vaguelettes peut être une répartition homogène sur toute la paroi intérieure du bonnet 2. Il peut également s'agir d'une répartition différenciée, en particulier pour privilégier la partie supérieure 2a du bonnet 2, par rapport à la partie inférieure. Ceci a pour but d'éviter l'étirement de la peau qui se trouve au- dessus du sein, étirement qui a tendance naturellement à se produire du fait du poids de celui-ci et qui est encore amplifié lors des déplacements verticaux du sein lors de la pratique sportive.As for the cap 2, it has a three-dimensional configuration obtained by assembling, during manufacture, two panels of adequate configuration, along an assembly line. In the figures, the assembly line extends from the lower inner edge of the cup to the upper outer edge. This is of course not limiting. Its inner wall has in the vertical direction an elasticity which is at most 60%. In addition, at least 15% of the total surface of said wall has a capacity of adhesion with the skin, being provided with silicon wavelets each having a dimension of the order of 24 mm 2 . The distance between each ripple is of the order of a few mm so as not to significantly reduce the breathability of said material. The distribution of the ripples may be a homogeneous distribution over the entire inner wall of the cup 2. It may also be a differentiated distribution, in particular to favor the upper part 2a of the cup 2, relative to the lower part. This is to avoid the stretching of the skin that is above the breast, stretching which naturally tends to occur because of the weight of it and which is further amplified during vertical movements of the breast during sports practice.
La capacité d'adhérence du matériau constituant la paroi intérieure du bonnet peut être obtenue par d'autres voies que des plots ou vaguelettes de silicone. Il peut s'agir de fils textiles à base de silicone ou d'élastomère ou encore enduit de silicone ou d'élastomère, mis en oeuvre lors de la fabrication du panneau textile constituant la paroi intérieure du bonnet. Bien sûr, toute matière ayant un fort coefficient de frottement avec la peau et apportant une capacité d'adhérence analogue à celle du silicone peut convenir dans le cadre de la présente invention.The adhesiveness of the material constituting the inner wall of the cup can be obtained by means other than studs or wavelets of silicone. It may be textile son silicone or elastomer or silicone or elastomer coated, implemented during the manufacture of the textile panel constituting the inner wall of the cup. Of course, any material having a high coefficient of friction with the skin and providing an adhesion capacity similar to that of silicone may be suitable in the context of the present invention.
Dans le second exemple illustré à la figure 2, le soutien-gorge 10 diffère de celui du premier exemple par les points suivants.In the second example illustrated in Figure 2, the bra 10 differs from that of the first example by the following points.
Le bord avant 16a du panneau latéral 16 s'arrête au plan central PP' du bonnet 12. La zone 17 qui s'étend entre ce bord avant 16a et le bord adjacent 14a du panneau médian 14 est réalisé dans un matériau textile conforme à celui de la paroi intérieure du bonnet 12.The front edge 16a of the side panel 16 stops at the central plane PP 'of the cup 12. The zone 17 which extends between this front edge 16a and the adjacent edge 14a of the median panel 14 is made of a textile material conforming to that of the inner wall of the cup 12.
Le panneau latéral 16 comporte un prolongement 16b qui recouvre latéralement le bonnet 12, ce qui a pour effet de conforter la rigidité verticale et horizontale de la structure du soutien-gorge 10.The side panel 16 has an extension 16b which laterally covers the cup 12, which has the effect of reinforcing the vertical and horizontal rigidity of the structure of the bra 10.
Le troisième exemple de réalisation qui est illustré à la figure 3 comporte les mêmes constituants que le soutien-gorge 1 du premier exemple, avec les deux bonnets 32, le panneau médian 34, les éléments de soutien 33, les deux panneaux latéraux 36 et la bande d'appui 35. Tous ces constituants ont les mêmes caractéristiques que ceux qui ont été décrits ci-dessus dans le cadre du premier exemple de soutien-gorge 1. Le sous-vêtement 30 comporte de plus une pièce 38 de liaison. Cette pièce 38 présente, dans le sens vertical, une élasticité réduite qui est inférieure à 40%. Par contre, son élasticité, dans le sens horizontal peut être du même ordre que celle des panneaux latéraux 36. La pièce de liaison 38 présente deux portions de côté 39. Chacune de ces portions de côté 39 est reliée à la bande d'appui 35 par son extrémité inférieure 39a et à un élément de soutien 33 par son extrémité supérieure 39b. Les deux portions de côté 39 de cette pièce de liaison 38 sont reliées l'une à l'autre par une portion transversale 40 qui s'étend au-dessus des deux bonnets 32, en sorte que, lorsque le sous-vêtement 30 est posé sur l'utilisatrice, cette portion transversale 40 s'applique sur le haut de la poitrine. Cette pièce de liaison 38, grâce notamment à l'élasticité verticale réduite de sa portion transversale 40, permet de limiter le rebond des seins lors de la pratique sportive.The third embodiment which is illustrated in FIG. 3 comprises the same constituents as the bra 1 of the first example, with the two cups 32, the medial panel 34, the support elements 33, the two lateral panels 36 and the support strip 35. All these components have the same characteristics as those described above in the context of the first example of bra 1. The undergarment 30 further comprises a connecting piece 38. This piece 38 has, in the vertical direction, a reduced elasticity which is less than 40%. On the other hand, its elasticity in the horizontal direction can be of the same order as that of the side panels 36. The connecting piece 38 has two side portions 39. Each of these side portions 39 is connected to the support strip 35 by its lower end 39a and a support member 33 by its upper end 39b. The two side portions 39 of this connecting piece 38 are connected to one another by a transverse portion 40 which extends above the two cups 32, so that when the undergarment 30 is placed on the user, this transverse portion 40 is applied on the upper chest. This connecting piece 38, thanks in particular to the reduced vertical elasticity of its portion transverse 40, limits the rebound of the breasts during sports practice.
Il a été question dans la description ci-dessus de paroi intérieure du bonnet. En pratique le bonnet peut être formé d'une seule couche textile qui constitue cette paroi intérieure. Cependant le bonnet peut aussi comporter une paroi extérieure venant au-dessus de la paroi intérieure et étant assemblée à celle-ci lors de la confection selon les mêmes lignes d'assemblage, notamment par couture, avec les autres panneaux : panneau médian et panneau latéral. De préférence, dans ce cas, la paroi extérieure, qui a une surface de dimension inférieure à celle de la paroi intérieure et a une élasticité supérieure à l'élasticité de la paroi intérieure. Lorsque le sein est placé à l'intérieur du bonnet, il occupe le volume délimité par la paroi intérieure, ce qui a pour effet de repousser la paroi extérieure, puisque celle-ci délimite un volume plus faible. La paroi extérieure est alors mise en extension et exerce, par réaction, une certaine force de compression, uniforme, sur la paroi intérieure et donc sur le sein. Cette compression contribue à plaquer la paroi intérieure contre le sein et à augmenter la capacité d'adhérence de ladite paroi avec la peau.It has been discussed in the above description of inner wall of the cup. In practice the cup may be formed of a single textile layer which constitutes this inner wall. However, the cup may also comprise an outer wall coming from above the inner wall and being assembled to the latter when making the same assembly lines, in particular by sewing, with the other panels: middle panel and side panel . Preferably, in this case, the outer wall, which has a smaller surface area than the inner wall and has an elasticity greater than the elasticity of the inner wall. When the breast is placed inside the cup, it occupies the volume defined by the inner wall, which has the effect of pushing the outer wall, since it defines a smaller volume. The outer wall is then extended and exerts, by reaction, a certain compressive force, uniform, on the inner wall and therefore on the breast. This compression contributes to pressing the inner wall against the breast and to increase the ability of said wall to adhere to the skin.
Les valeurs d'élasticité, qui sont données dans le présent texte pour les panneaux textiles, sont mesurées sur la base de la norme internationale ASTM D 2594. The elasticity values given in this text for textile panels are measured on the basis of the international standard ASTM D 2594.
