Definitions
- the invention relates to a brassiere.
- the invention relates to a back closure or a fastening device for a brassiere.
- a standard brassiere comprises a pair of back-open cups adapted to overlay the wearer's breasts and have inner edges which are contiguous with one another, as well as outer edges from which back band wings pass under the arms of the wearer and embrace the back of the wearer, where they come to rest against each other and are releasably connected to each other by means of a closure.
- a wearer who normally proceeds from the tip of each cup and passes over the shoulder of the wearer, is connected to the back of the wearer with the upper edge of the respective back strap wing, see eg US 6,321,419 ,
- the standard closure consists of a plurality of horizontally spaced apart vertical rows of eyes located at the outer or back end of one of the wings and a complementary vertical row of hooks on a front or inner side of the end of the other of the two wings.
- the hooks are engaged with the eyes of one of the rows to secure the two wings together.
- the back band wings are typical made of an elastic textile material, however, the hook and eye-bearing ends are slightly stiffer.
- the manufacture of the closure from the various elements involves a plurality of positioning and fastening steps which add to the cost of the known closure.
- the attachment is by sewing together and it is very difficult to perform the sewing so that the textile elements of the closure perfectly match each other, which are usually already slightly offset from each other when the laundry is still new, but in any case after some time of use ,
- a closure provided for joining the ends of two back parts of a brassiere comprises a piece of an inelastic textile material which has a back surface facing away from the wearer of the brassiere and an opposing front surface.
- the fabric piece is secured to one end of one of the backs and carries on the back side a plurality of transversely extending and longitudinally spaced apart rows of first plastic closure members, each row including at least two closure elements arranged transversely in one Are spaced apart from each other.
- a flat body has an inner end attached to the end of the other back, an opposing outer end, a front that at least partially overlaps the back of the cloth at the outer end, and a rear opposite the front.
- Corresponding second plastic closure elements which are generally complementary to the first closure element and are engageable with the latter in engagement, are attached to the front of the body at its outer end such that they are aligned with the first closure elements and fixing with them Intervention can be brought.
- a transverse one rigid rod which is arranged on the base body or formed as part of the same, prevents transverse relative movements of the second closure elements and a bending of the base body in the region of these second closure elements.
- Such a closure measured between front and back can be made extremely thin, in practice, with a thickness of only 4 mm, which is considerably less than the usual 6 mm for a conventional closure.
- the construction is such that tension applied through the backs does not cause the closure to curl or twist, but rather causes it to flatten, so that an unattractive bulge can never form, even if the brassiere is e.g. worn under a tight-fitting T-shirt.
- the closure can be realized completely without stitching, i. by welding, usually ultrasonic welding, so that never poses the problem of an unattractive contrasting seam.
- the first closure elements are female and U-shaped, while the second closure elements are male. They are both completely made of plastic so that they can be used e.g. can not get caught in the laundry. Moreover, such a completely non-metallic construction is very simple and cheap and avoids some of the skin sensitivity and allergy problems associated with metallic parts.
- the fabric piece according to the invention is formed from congruent front and back textile layers, and the first closure elements each comprise a front part which is sandwiched between these layers, and a back part, which is mating with the respective associated second closure elements, as well as a pen or Connecting element that passes through the rearward position between the respective front and rear parts.
- These pins or connecting parts may be integral with the respective front and rear parts or can also be integrally formed with one of the respective front and rear parts and connected by ultrasonic welding to the respective other front or rear part.
- Each of the layers is rectangular in shape and the closure further includes ultrasonic welding regions extending along at least three sides of the layers and holding them together immediately within the outer edges thereof.
- These welds may, according to a particular advantageous embodiment of the invention, extend only along three sides of the layers and be offset from a fourth side. The respective back part end on the fourth side is received between the respective layers and attached thereto.
- one or both layers may also be embodied as an integral part of the brassiere back piece when the holder is made together with the undergarment.
- bar-shaped welds extending between the rows of first closure elements are formed. These prevent the closure from curling and maintain the exact spacing between the first closure elements.
- the flat basic body can also be designed as a plastic part that is uniform with the second closure elements and the rigid bars.
- at least one flexible Stoffilstofflappen is connected to the rigid rod-shaped part and attached to the respective back of the tail or in particular two such textile tabs are sandwiched and welded to the rod and sandwiched at the corresponding end of the wing and connected thereto.
- the inventive method comprises the steps of attaching a plurality of first closure elements, which are made of plastic, on a front side of an inelastic fabric piece, which faces away from the wearer of the brass back and an opposite Front has, wherein the first closure elements are arranged in a plurality of transverse longitudinally spaced rows at the back, and further providing a flat body having an inner end which is connected to the end of the other of the back parts is and an opposite outer end and a front that overlaps at least partially the back of the fabric piece at the outer end, and a front side opposite the back.
- Corresponding second closure elements which are designed to be substantially complementary to the first closure elements, are fastened to the front side of the main body at the outer end, such that they are aligned with the first closure elements and can be brought into fixing engagement.
- a transversely extending rigid rod is arranged on the base body or formed as part of it, such that transverse movements of the second closure elements relative to one another and bending of the base body in the region of the second closure elements are prevented.
- the piece of fabric is formed from two congruent front and back textile layers, wherein the first closure elements each have a front part enclosed between the layers, a back part which can be paired with each of the second closure elements, and a A pin or connector passing through the backsheet between the respective front and back portions.
- These front and rear parts can be made uniformly with each other, with the pins or the connecting part, as well as with the stiffening rod in a single shot of an injection molding process or alternatively, the pins or connecting parts integral with one of the respective front and rear side parts and each with the other of the respective front and back sides are welded.
- a closure according to the invention basically comprises a female part 10, which is normally fastened to the dorsal wing W shown in dashed lines, and a male part 20, which is fastened to the other dorsal wing.
- Fig. 1A shows the closure seen from the back, ie, seen in a position behind the wearer, wherein the closure is closed in its longest configuration.
- the female part 10 is formed by a front material layer 11a and a rear material layer 11b, of which at least one, in the embodiment shown both, usually consists of a non-stretchable textile fabric a microfiber strip in linen formation exist. These layers 11a and 11b are interconnected along their longitudinal edges and an outer edge by a U-shaped weld 11c. In addition, there are provided transversely extending welds 11d longitudinally spaced from each other via the ultrasonically joined layers 11a and 11b within the areas marked by the weld 11c to further stabilize the assembly by avoiding tension.
- the U-shaped edge seal 11c terminates a short distance from the inner ends of the layers 11a and 11b and the innermost transverse weld 11d is also outwardly spaced from this inner end so that the two layers 11a and 11b at the inner end of the female part 11 are separated from each other and form fixing lips there. Thereby, it is possible to sandwich the two layers 11a and 11b on opposite inner and outer surfaces of the respective back wing W and fix them thereto by welding or sewing so as to obtain a stable anchorage and smooth connection.
- Each of these two female butterfly-shaped closure elements comprising rows 12 are arranged on the back surface of the back-side layer 11b in transversely extending rows, which are arranged in the longitudinal direction at a distance from each other.
- more than two such elements 12 could be arranged in braces with larger cups in each row, but it is, as explained below, often only necessary to increase the transverse distance of the two elements 12, not their number, by a Magnification of the transverse dimension of the closure to achieve an adaptation to a wider wing W.
- Each female single element 12 comprises, as better understood from the Fig. 2A - 2C a butterfly-shaped back part 12a, which sits on the outer surface of the backsheet 11b and a rectangular-annular, inner part 12b ( Fig. 2D - 2F ) sandwiched between the front side of the backsheet 11 and the back side of the front material layer 11a.
- the back portion 12a is butterfly-shaped with a pair of wings having diverging outer portions 12c, parallel inner portions 12d with overhanging portions 12e, and a bulge 12f connecting the base ends of the inner portions 12d.
- Protruding from the front side of the female elements 12 are projecting projections which pass through the backsheet 11b and locate in holes in the front part 12b, which in turn has analogous projections 12i.
- the male part 20 includes, as better understood from the Fig. 2G - 2J a flexible, but usually inelastic textile part formed by front and back layers 20a and 20b, which are in turn separated by halves of a common rectangular piece of textile ( Fig. 2J ) and has a central slot 20c, and a plastic part 20c having an outer part 20d and an inner rod-shaped part 20e interconnected by a slightly narrower piece of fabric 20f which fits through the slot 20c, as will be described below ,
- the outer part 20c is provided on its back side with decorative elements and with a display that includes the word "PUSH" and an outward arrow to indicate to the user in which direction the part 20 must be moved to open the closure ,
- the front side of the outer part 20c is provided with a pair of hook members 20h, each of which has an enlarged head 20i and an inwardly projecting rib 20j.
- the heads 20i may be the projections 12e engage, so that the parts 10 and 20 are anchored against separation in any direction, except for the direction towards each other, ie by a movement of the part 20 in the direction of the "TURN" arrow of the display 20g.
- the ribs 20j which are arranged on the inside of the heads 20i, serve to guide the heads 20i between the arms 12c of the parts 12a in the closed position.
- the male part 10 of the closure will, as in the Figs. 3A - 3F represented by first the two blank strips 11a 'and 11b "( FIGS. 3A and 3B ) which are the same shape as the layers 11a and 11b but are larger all around by a dimension amount D, which is about 0.125 in here, are laminated together.
- a first step in the 3C and 3D is shown, the parts 12a and 12b respectively in three rows of two (on which the invention is not limited) firmly connected to each other, the pointed projections 12g and 12i through the blank strip 11b 'push through and the exact positioning of the parts 12a and Secure 12b to each other.
- the thus held together parts 12a and 12b are welded together in this position by ultrasonic action at the outer ends of the projecting tips so that they overlap in a mushroom shape and the parts 12a and 12b together with the strip 11b 'arranged between them are firmly anchored to each other.
- an edge 11e is cut off from the blank strip 11a 'and 11b' to transfer them into the layers 11a and 11b.
- This Pruning is done cold, immediately adjacent or slightly outside of the ultrasonic weld 12c, so that when the fabric of the plies 11a and 11b fray slightly through use and washing, a smooth edge remains.
- the embodiment according to the Fig. 4A - 6F is functionally similar to the first embodiment explained above and conveys all the advantages thereof, but differs therefrom in terms of the manner of manufacture and construction of the male part 30.
- the male part 30 is not constructed here of two pieces, namely in the Fig. 2J shown textile element and the plastic part, which in the Figs. 2G and 2H is shown. Instead, it will, as in the Figs. 5A and 5B represented by two empty strips 30a 'and 30b', the first being a simple, non-perforated piece of material and the second being provided with a number of through holes 30c, both pieces being enlarged by a dimension D.
- the blank strip 30b ' is then, as in the Figs. 5C and 5D is fixed between two injection mold or blow mold halves and a synthetic resin is injected to form on the front side of the dummy strip 30b 'two small circular push button base parts 30d and a transverse bar 30e and on the back two flat push buttons 30f, of which Heads 30g protrude, which are identical to the heads 20i and ribs 30g, which in turn are identical to the rib 20j.
- a flat connector 30i is formed which extends through the blank strip 30b 'between the buttons 30d and 30f which are also interconnected via integral pin members which extend through the holes 30c provided between the buttons 30d and 30f are.
- the two blank strips 30a 'and 30b' are superposed on each other so that the front blank strip 30a 'covers the buttons 30d and the reinforcing bar 30e, and the two blank strips 30a' and 30b 'are joined together by ultrasonic welding in a U-shaped weld 30j connected to the buttons 30d and 30f surrounding and along a straight ultrasonic welding 30k on the rod 30e, to connect the two strips and the plastic parts 30d, 30f, 30e and 30i firmly together.
- a cold cut is made which extends slightly outside the weld to cut off an edge 30m to provide front and rear smooth-edge material layers 30a and 30b and a pair of lips between which the respective wing W can be anchored.
- the female part of the second embodiment is, as in the Figs. 6A-6F illustrated formed with one-piece injection molded plastic parts.
- the blank strip 40b ' is then clamped between the mold halves into which the plastic material is injected to form mold parts 50a and 50b, which are necessarily identical to the parts 12a and 12b, except that they are integral with one another are designed and related by thin pins which extend through the holes 40c therethrough. This is in the Figs. 6C and 6D shown.
- FIGS. 6E and 6F illustrated steps are identical to those in the Figs. 3E and 3F
- the resultant welds 12c and 12d are then cut off at the edge 40c to provide a front layer 40a and a back layer 40b which have a smooth edge and two flaps which can be joined to a back wing.
- Figs. 7A to 7E Reference is made to the enlarged scale on the basis of the details Fig. 2a to 2j As well as 4a and 4b already mentioned female elements 10 and male elements 20 inventive brassiere closures show analogous to those, as already with reference to the Figs. 2A to 2J and 4A and 4B. Accordingly, the Fig. 7A an enlarged view of a part of the element of Fig. 4B , Accordingly, the description of the Fig. 4B and referenced in this illustrated embodiment.
- a very important feature of the brassiere closure according to the invention is that a small minimum force must be applied to connect the back parts of the brassiere, ie a certain resistance must be overcome. After overcoming this resistance threshold, however, the compound is extremely resistant to tension, ie ever greater becomes a tensile force acting away from each other in the sense of movement of the back parts of the brassiere, the more the holding force of the brassiere closure increases and stabilizes the fixation of the back parts of the brassiere to one another. On the other hand, the wearer of the brassiere should be able to open the closure without significant effort.
- the female fastener 10 and the male fastener 20 are designed in such a manner that, generally speaking, closing the brassiere fastener also results in stabilization of the closure configuration of its component parts, i. Tensile stresses occurring in the closure region, which are directed parallel to the body surface of the wearer of the brassiere, assist in pressing the interconnected side or back parts of the brassiere against the wearer thereby stabilizing the connection of the back parts.
- the male closure elements 20 are formed symmetrically with respect to a center plane 51 m, which coincides in the closed state of these elements 10 and 12 with the median plane 51 w of the respective female closure element 12.
- the rectilinear edges 52g of the "outer" wing sections 12c and the guide surfaces 51f of the parallel inner sections 12d of the butterfly-shaped elements enclose an angle of approximately 145 ° with each other and each connect via a latching projection 12r (FIG. Fig. 7B )
- the minimum distance Dmin of the latching protrusions from each other is slightly smaller than the lateral distance Dd of the parallel inner portions 12d in the remaining part of the inner portions 12c of the female shutter members.
- the male closure elements are also provided with latching projections 53m, which are functionally associated with the anchoring projections 52r of the female closure elements 12. They are disposed on opposite sides of a guide rib 54 (20j) of the respective male shutter member 20.
- an anchoring head 20i Arranged on one end of the guide rib 54 is an anchoring head 20i which, together with the rib of the male closure part 20, forms an anchoring hook 20h which can be brought into engagement with the female closure element 12.
- an anchoring head 20i Arranged on one end of the guide rib 54 is an anchoring head 20i which, together with the rib of the male closure part 20, forms an anchoring hook 20h which can be brought into engagement with the female closure element 12.
- special embodiment of the closure are each two pairs 12, 20 of such closure elements to a one-piece plastic part 54 (FIGS. Fig. 7C ), whose geometric design readily enlarged scale depictions of Fig. 7C as well as the Fig. 2H is removable.
- the anchoring head 20h measured at right angles to the plane of symmetry 51 m or the plane of symmetry 51w of the female closure element 12, has a diameter Dm which is significantly greater than the distance between the guide end faces 51f of the parallel sections 12d of the female closure elements 10.
- the center plane parallel to the guide surfaces 51f of the parallel portions 12d of the female fastener elements 10 are by planar coplanar step surfaces ( Fig. 7c ) offset against further approximately parallel to the median plane 51w extending guide surfaces 54r, whose distance from each other at least equal to the diameter Dm of the anchoring head, preferably slightly larger than this, to ensure a smooth displacement of the male closure elements relative to the female closure elements.
- planar coplanar step surfaces Fig. 7c
- the closing of the brassiere closure according to the invention takes place in that the male closure part 20 in the direction of the arrow 56 of Fig. 7B is pushed into the female closure member 12, with its rib 20j ( Fig. 7E ) between the parallel guide end faces 51 F ( 7C ) is guided until the anchoring head 20h comes in support on the inside of the overhangs 12e, wherein the male and female closure part are tightened or pressed against each other.
- the male closure element is positively frictionally secured against retraction - in the opening direction.
- the closure deformation of the male fastener part 20 is marked.
- Illustrated variants of brassiere closures are in the embodiment according to the 8A to 8D in addition to fastening elements which impart a force-positive fixation of the brassiere wings to one another, magnetic closure elements 80 / w and 80 / m (FIG. Figs. 8B and 8C ) intended to facilitate the brassiere wearer in seeking the closure position of the brassiere closure as a whole and its closing operation.
- FIGS Figs. 8A and 8C apparent arrangement in the rows 12, in each of which two butterfly-shaped female closure elements 12a of the female closure member 10 are arranged, each a magnetic element 80 / w of the female closure member 10 integrated; Furthermore, a permanent magnet 80 / m assigned to the male closure element 20 is provided.
- These magnets 80 / w associated with the female closure part 10 and the permanent magnet 80 / m associated with the male closure part 20 are shown in FIGS Figs. 8B and 8C apparent arrangement between the textile material layers 11a and 11b of the female closure member 10 embedded or inserted into the male closure member 20, which in turn with the. Textile material layers 20a and 20b is connected by welding tensile strength.
- the magnets 80 / w and 80 / m are formed in the basic form as circular discs having a diameter of 4 mm and a thickness of 1 mm in a typical dimensioning. Used are neodymium permanent magnets or other rare earth magnets, which are commercially available in suitable specifications.
- closure parts 10 or 20 it is sufficient to provide only one of the closure parts 10 or 20 a permanent-magnetic closure element and to take at each other a small plate of soft magnetic material, but it is expedient for reasons of sufficient attraction, to use 10 and 20 permanent magnets on both closure parts, which are able to develop relatively larger forces of attraction at the appropriate polarity, on the other hand, a space-saving, low-cost construction of the closure 80 benefits.
- the permanent magnets 80 / w of the female closure member 10 are each disposed between the female closure members 12a of the respective row 12 of closure members.
- the permanent magnet 80 / m in one of the Figs. 8B and 8C apparent way between locking lugs 80 / r of the existing plastic male closure member 20 is fixed, as only schematically indicated.
- the arrangement of the magnetic closure elements 80 / w and 80 / m and their relative movements limited stop elements 81 with outwardly, ie to the respective magnet 80 / w open towards stop limit 82 is chosen such that the position ( Fig. 8C ) of the magnetic closure elements 80 / w and 80 / m, in which they develop their greatest attraction, is arranged at a distance S from the position of the closure parts 10 and 20, in which the butterfly-shaped closure elements 12a have latching heads 20 (FIG. Fig. 7E and 7A or 8D) are in frictional engagement and the brassiere closure occupies the load-capable closure position, which can be achieved only by active action of the wearer.

Ein Träger, der normalerweise von der Spitze eines jeden Körbchens ausgeht und über die Schulter der Trägerin hinweg tritt, ist an der Rückenseite der Trägerin mit dem oberen Rand des jeweiligen Rückenbandflügels verbunden, siehe z.B.
Der Standardverschluss besteht aus einer Mehrzahl in horizontalem Abstand voneinander angeordneter vertikaler Reihen von Augen, die am äußeren oder rückenseitigen Ende eines der Flügel angeordnet sind, und einer komplementären vertikalen Reihe von Haken an einer vorderen oder inneren Seite des Endes des anderen der beiden Flügel. Die Haken werden mit den Augen einer der Reihen in Eingriff gebracht, um die beiden Flügel aneinander zu befestigen. Aus Gründen des Komforts sind die Rückenbandflügel typischerweise aus einem elastischen Textilmaterial gefertigt, jedoch sind die die Haken und die Augen tragenden Enden etwas steifer.The standard closure consists of a plurality of horizontally spaced apart vertical rows of eyes located at the outer or back end of one of the wings and a complementary vertical row of hooks on a front or inner side of the end of the other of the two wings. The hooks are engaged with the eyes of one of the rows to secure the two wings together. For reasons of comfort, the back band wings are typical made of an elastic textile material, however, the hook and eye-bearing ends are slightly stiffer.
Auch wenn der Haken-/Augen-Standardverschluss bewährt ist, so ist er doch mit verschiedenen Problemen behaftet. Die metallischen Haken sind hart und können sich in den Rücken der Trägerin bohren und können auch beim Waschen des Büstenhalters mit anderen Wäscheteilen verhaken. Der Verschluss ist auch auftragend und ist daher unter einem eng anliegenden Kleidungsstück sichtbar, wobei in der Mitte des Rückens der Trägerin eine unattraktive Ausbeulung entsteht. Schließlich kann der gesamte Verschluss kräuseln, wenn eine in Längsrichtung wirkende Kraft auftritt, welche die beiden Flügelenden auseinander zieht, wobei sowohl die oberen und die unteren Ränder und auch der äußere Rand an der Rückenseite nach außen hervortreten. Eine derartige kräuselnde Deformation nimmt mit der auftretenden Spannung zu und lässt die schon existierende unattraktive Aufwölbung in der Mitte des Rückens der Trägerin noch ausgeprägter werden.Even if the hook / eye standard closure is proven, it still suffers from various problems. The metallic hooks are hard and can drill into the back of the wearer and can also catch other clothes when washing the brassiere. The closure is also applied and is therefore visible under a tight-fitting garment, wherein in the middle of the back of the wearer creates an unattractive bulge. Eventually, the entire closure may curl when a longitudinal force occurs which pulls the two wing tips apart, with both the upper and lower edges and also the outer edge on the dorsal side projecting outwardly. Such a curling deformation increases with the tension that occurs and makes the already existing unattractive bulge in the center of the wearer's back even more pronounced.
Die Herstellung des Verschlusses aus den verschiedenen Elementen beinhaltet eine Mehrzahl von Schritten der Positionierung und Befestigung, die zu den Kosten des bekannten Verschlusses beitragen. Üblicherweise erfolgt die Befestigung durch Zusammennähen und es ist sehr schwierig, das Nähen so durchzuführen, dass die Textilelemente des Verschlusses perfekt aufeinander passen, die normalerweise schon etwas gegeneinander versetzt sind, wenn das Wäschestück noch neu ist, auf jeden Fall aber nach einiger Zeit des Gebrauchs.The manufacture of the closure from the various elements involves a plurality of positioning and fastening steps which add to the cost of the known closure. Usually, the attachment is by sewing together and it is very difficult to perform the sewing so that the textile elements of the closure perfectly match each other, which are usually already slightly offset from each other when the laundry is still new, but in any case after some time of use ,
Demgemäß liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen verbesserten Büstenhalter-Rückenverschluss zu schaffen.Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide an improved brace back closure.
Weiter ist es ein Ziel, einen verbesserten Büstenhalter-Rückenverschluss bereit zu stellen, der die vorgenannten Nachteile vermeidet, insbesondere einen Rückenverschluss anzugeben, der extrem flach ist, so dass er unter einem eng anliegenden Kleidungsstück getragen werden kann, ohne sichtbar zu sein und sich auch nicht aufwirft, wenn die Rückenbandflügel unter Zugspannung stehen.Further, it is an object to provide an improved bra back closure which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages, in particular to provide a back closure which is extremely flat so that it can be worn under a tight-fitting garment without being visible and also does not pose when the back strap wings are under tension.
Weiter soll eine verbesserte und vereinfachte Methode zur Herstellung eines solchen Verschlusses angegeben werden, die insbesondere die Notwendigkeit unansehnlicher Nähte vermeidet.Furthermore, an improved and simplified method for producing such a closure is to be specified, which in particular avoids the need for unsightly seams.
Ein zur Verbindung der Enden zweier Rückenteile eines Büstenhalters vorgesehener Verschluss umfasst erfindungsgemäß ein Stück eines inelastischen Textilmaterials, das eine von der Trägerin des Büstenhalters abgewandte rückseitige Fläche und eine gegenüberliegend angeordnete Vorderfläche hat. Das Stoffstück ist am einen Ende eines der Rückenteile befestigt und trägt auf der rückwärtigen Seite eine Mehrzahl sich in Querrichtung erstreckender und in Längsrichtung im Abstand voneinander angeordneter Reihen erster, aus Kunststoff gefertigter Verschlusselemente, wobei jede Reihe mindestens zwei Verschlusselemente umfasst, die in Querrichtung in einem Abstand voneinander angeordnet sind. Ein flacher Grundkörper hat ein inneres Ende, der an dem Ende des anderen Rückenteils befestigt ist, ein gegenüber liegendes, äußeres Ende, eine Vorderseite, die am äußeren Ende mindestens teilweise die Rückseite des Stoffstückes überlappt, und eine der Vorderseite gegenüberliegende Rückseite. Entsprechende aus Kunststoff bestehende zweite Verschlusselemente, die im allgemeinen komplementär zu dem ersten Verschlusselement gestaltet und mit diesem gepaart in Eingriff bringbar sind, sind an der Vorderseite des Grundkörpers an dessen äußerem Ende befestigt derart, dass sie mit den ersten Verschlusselementen ausgerichtet und mit diesen fixierend in Eingriff bringbar sind. Ein quer verlaufender starrer Stab, der auf dem Grundkörper angeordnet oder als Teil desselben ausgebildet ist, verhindert in Querrichtung erfolgende Relativbewegungen der zweiten Verschlusselemente sowie ein Biegen des Grundkörpers im Bereich dieser zweiten Verschlusselemente.According to the invention, a closure provided for joining the ends of two back parts of a brassiere comprises a piece of an inelastic textile material which has a back surface facing away from the wearer of the brassiere and an opposing front surface. The fabric piece is secured to one end of one of the backs and carries on the back side a plurality of transversely extending and longitudinally spaced apart rows of first plastic closure members, each row including at least two closure elements arranged transversely in one Are spaced apart from each other. A flat body has an inner end attached to the end of the other back, an opposing outer end, a front that at least partially overlaps the back of the cloth at the outer end, and a rear opposite the front. Corresponding second plastic closure elements, which are generally complementary to the first closure element and are engageable with the latter in engagement, are attached to the front of the body at its outer end such that they are aligned with the first closure elements and fixing with them Intervention can be brought. A transverse one rigid rod, which is arranged on the base body or formed as part of the same, prevents transverse relative movements of the second closure elements and a bending of the base body in the region of these second closure elements.
Ein solcher Verschluss kann, gemessen zwischen Vorder- und Rückseite extrem dünn ausgeführt werden, in praxi mit einer Dicke von nur 4 mm, was erheblich weniger ist, als die für einen konventionellen Verschluss üblichen 6 mm. Darüber hinaus ist der Aufbau so, dass eine über die Rückenteile ausgeübte Zugspannung nicht zu einem Kräuseln oder einem Verwinden des Verschlusses führt, sondern ihn vielmehr flacher werden lässt, so dass sich niemals eine unattraktive Aufwölbung ausbilden kann, auch wenn der Büstenhalter z.B. unter einem eng anliegenden T-Shirt getragen wird. Der Verschluss kann völlig ohne Nähen realisiert werden, d.h. durch Schweißen, normalerweise Ultraschallschweißen, so dass sich niemals das Problem einer unattraktiv kontrastierenden Naht stellt.Such a closure, measured between front and back can be made extremely thin, in practice, with a thickness of only 4 mm, which is considerably less than the usual 6 mm for a conventional closure. Moreover, the construction is such that tension applied through the backs does not cause the closure to curl or twist, but rather causes it to flatten, so that an unattractive bulge can never form, even if the brassiere is e.g. worn under a tight-fitting T-shirt. The closure can be realized completely without stitching, i. by welding, usually ultrasonic welding, so that never poses the problem of an unattractive contrasting seam.
Die ersten Verschlusselemente sind weiblich und U-förmig gestaltet, während die zweiten Verschlusselemente männlich sind. Sie bestehen beide komplett aus Kunststoff, so dass sie sich z.B. bei der Wäsche nicht verhaken können. Darüber hinaus ist ein derartiger vollkommen nichtmetallischer Aufbau sehr einfach und billig und vermeidet einen Teil der mit metallischen Teilen einhergehenden Hautempfindlichkeits- und Allergieprobleme.The first closure elements are female and U-shaped, while the second closure elements are male. They are both completely made of plastic so that they can be used e.g. can not get caught in the laundry. Moreover, such a completely non-metallic construction is very simple and cheap and avoids some of the skin sensitivity and allergy problems associated with metallic parts.
Das Stoffstück ist erfindungsgemäß aus deckungsgleichen vorder- und rückseitigen Textillagen gebildet, und die ersten Verschlusselemente umfassen jeweils ein Vorderteil, das zwischen diesen Lagen sandwichartig eingebettet ist, sowie ein Rückenteil, das mit dem jeweils zugeordneten der zweiten Verschlusselemente paarungsfähig ist, sowie ein Stift- oder Verbindungselement, das durch die rückwärtige Lage zwischen den jeweiligen Vorder- und Rückteilen hindurch tritt. Diese Stifte oder Verbindungsteile können einstückig mit den jeweiligen vorder- und rückseitigen Teilen ausgeführt sein oder können auch einstückig mit einem der jeweiligen vorder- bzw. rückseitigen Teile ausgebildet und durch Ultraschallschweißen mit dem jeweiligen anderen vorder- bzw. rückseitigen Teil verbunden werden.The fabric piece according to the invention is formed from congruent front and back textile layers, and the first closure elements each comprise a front part which is sandwiched between these layers, and a back part, which is mating with the respective associated second closure elements, as well as a pen or Connecting element that passes through the rearward position between the respective front and rear parts. These pins or connecting parts may be integral with the respective front and rear parts or can also be integrally formed with one of the respective front and rear parts and connected by ultrasonic welding to the respective other front or rear part.
Jede der Lagen ist der Grundform nach rechteckig und der Verschluss umfasst weiter Ultraschallschweißbereiche, die sich entlang mindestens dreier Seiten der Lagen erstrecken und diese unmittelbar innerhalb der äußeren Ränder derselben zusammenhalten. Diese Verschweißungen können sich gemäß einer besonderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung lediglich entlang dreier Seiten der Schichten erstrecken und gegenüber einer vierten Seite abgesetzt sein. Das jeweilige Rückenteilende an der vierten Seite ist zwischen den jeweiligen Lagen aufgenommen und an diesen befestigt. Natürlich können auch eine oder beide Lagen als integraler Bestandteil des Büstenhalter-Rückenteils ausgeführt sein, wenn der Halter zusammen mit der Unterwäsche hergestellt wird. Erfindungsgemäß sind zwischen den Reihen der ersten Verschlusselemente verlaufende balkenförmige Verschweißungen gebildet. Diese verhindern, dass der Verschluss sich kräuseln kann und halten den genauen Abstand zwischen den ersten Verschlusselementen aufrecht.Each of the layers is rectangular in shape and the closure further includes ultrasonic welding regions extending along at least three sides of the layers and holding them together immediately within the outer edges thereof. These welds may, according to a particular advantageous embodiment of the invention, extend only along three sides of the layers and be offset from a fourth side. The respective back part end on the fourth side is received between the respective layers and attached thereto. Of course, one or both layers may also be embodied as an integral part of the brassiere back piece when the holder is made together with the undergarment. According to the invention, bar-shaped welds extending between the rows of first closure elements are formed. These prevent the closure from curling and maintain the exact spacing between the first closure elements.
Der flache Grundkörper kann erfindungsgemäß auch als mit den zweiten Verschlusselementen und den steifen Balken einheitliches Kunststoffteil ausgeführt sein. In diesem Falle ist mindestens ein flexibler Textilstofflappen mit dem starren stabförmigen Teil verbunden und an das jeweilige Rückenteilende angefügt oder es sind insbesondere zwei solcher Textillappen sandwichartig angeordnet und mit dem Stab verschweißt und sandwichartig auch am entsprechenden Flügelende angeordnet und mit diesem verbunden.According to the invention, the flat basic body can also be designed as a plastic part that is uniform with the second closure elements and the rigid bars. In this case, at least one flexible Stoffilstofflappen is connected to the rigid rod-shaped part and attached to the respective back of the tail or in particular two such textile tabs are sandwiched and welded to the rod and sandwiched at the corresponding end of the wing and connected thereto.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren umfasst die Schritte der Befestigung einer Mehrzahl erster Verschlusselemente, die aus Kunststoff gefertigt sind, an einer Vorderseite eines inelastischen Textilstoffstückes, das eine von der Trägerin des Büstenhalters abgewandte Rückseite und eine gegenüberliegende Vorderseite hat, wobei die ersten Verschlusselemente in einer Mehrzahl quer verlaufender in Längsrichtung in einem Abstand voneinander befindlicher Reihen an der Rückseite angeordnet werden, und des Weiteren die Schaffung eines flachen Grundkörpers, der ein inneres Ende hat, das mit dem Ende des anderen der Rückenteile verbunden ist und ein gegenüberliegendes äußeres Ende sowie eine Vorderseite, die mindestens teilweise die Rückseite des Textilstoffstückes an dem äußeren Ende überlappt, sowie eine der Vorderseite gegenüberliegende Rückseite. Entsprechende zweite Verschlusselemente, die im Wesentlichen komplementär zu den ersten Verschlusselementen gestaltet sind, werden an der Vorderseite des Grundkörpers am äußeren Ende befestigt, derart, dass sie mit den ersten Verschlusselementen ausgerichtet und in fixierenden Eingriff bringbar sind. Ein quer verlaufender steifer Stab wird an dem Grundkörper angeordnet oder als Teil desselben ausgebildet, derart, dass Querbewegungen der zweiten Verschlusselemente relativ zueinander sowie ein Biegen des Grundkörpers im Bereich der zweiten Verschlusselemente verhindert werden.The inventive method comprises the steps of attaching a plurality of first closure elements, which are made of plastic, on a front side of an inelastic fabric piece, which faces away from the wearer of the brass back and an opposite Front has, wherein the first closure elements are arranged in a plurality of transverse longitudinally spaced rows at the back, and further providing a flat body having an inner end which is connected to the end of the other of the back parts is and an opposite outer end and a front that overlaps at least partially the back of the fabric piece at the outer end, and a front side opposite the back. Corresponding second closure elements, which are designed to be substantially complementary to the first closure elements, are fastened to the front side of the main body at the outer end, such that they are aligned with the first closure elements and can be brought into fixing engagement. A transversely extending rigid rod is arranged on the base body or formed as part of it, such that transverse movements of the second closure elements relative to one another and bending of the base body in the region of the second closure elements are prevented.
Wie vorausgehend erläutert, ist das Stoffstück aus zwei deckungsgleichen vorder- und rückseitigen Textillagen gebildet, wobei die ersten Verschlusselemente jeweils ein Frontteil haben, das zwischen den Lagen eingeschlossen ist, ein rückseitiges Teil, das mit je einem der zweiten Verschlusselemente gepaart werden kann, sowie einen Stift oder ein Verbindungsteil, der/das durch die rückseitige Lage zwischen den jeweiligen vorder- und rückseitigen Teilen hindurch tritt. Diese vorder- und rückseitigen Teile können jeweils einheitlich miteinander, mit den Stiften bzw. dem Verbindungsteil, sowie mit dem Versteifungsstab in einem einzigen Schuss eines Spritzgussvorganges hergestellt werden oder alternativ die Stifte oder Verbindungsteile einstückig mit einem der jeweiligen Vor- und Rückseitenteile ausgeführt und jeweils mit dem anderen der jeweiligen Vorder- und Rückseitenteile verschweißt werden.As previously explained, the piece of fabric is formed from two congruent front and back textile layers, wherein the first closure elements each have a front part enclosed between the layers, a back part which can be paired with each of the second closure elements, and a A pin or connector passing through the backsheet between the respective front and back portions. These front and rear parts can be made uniformly with each other, with the pins or the connecting part, as well as with the stiffening rod in a single shot of an injection molding process or alternatively, the pins or connecting parts integral with one of the respective front and rear side parts and each with the other of the respective front and back sides are welded.

Wie aus den
Das weibliche Teil 10 ist durch eine vordere Materiallage 11a und eine hintere Materiallage 11b gebildet, von denen mindestens eine, beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel beide, aus einem nicht dehnbaren Textilgewebe üblicherweise einem Mikrofaserstreifen in Leinenbildung, bestehen. Diese Lagen 11a und 11b sind entlang ihrer Längsränder und eines äußeren Randes durch eine U-förmige Verschweißung 11c miteinander verbunden. Zusätzlich sind quer verlaufende Verschweißungen 11d vorgesehen, die in Längsrichtung im Abstand voneinander über die durch Ultraschallschweißen zusammengefügten Lagen 11a und 11b innerhalb der Flächen verteilt angeordnet sind, die durch die Verschweißung 11c markiert ist, um die Anordnung zusätzlich durch Vermeidung von Zug zu stabilisieren. Die U-förmige Kantenverschweißung 11c endet in geringem Abstand von den inneren Enden der Lagen 11a und 11b und die innerste Querverschweißung 11d ist ebenfalls nach außen hin in einem Abstand von diesem inneren Ende derart angeordnet, dass die beiden Lagen 11a und 11b am inneren Ende des weiblichen Teils 11 voneinander separiert sind und dort Befestigungslippen bilden. Dadurch ist es möglich, die beiden Lagen 11a und 11b an einander gegenüberliegenden inneren und äußeren Flächen des jeweiligen Rückenflügels W sandwichartig anzuordnen und an diesem durch Schweißen oder Nähen derart zu befestigen, dass eine stabile Verankerung und glatte Verbindung erzielt wird.The
Diese jeweils zwei weibliche schmetterlingsförmige Verschlusselemente umfassenden Reihen 12 sind an der Rückenfläche der rückenseitigen Lage 11b in quer sich erstreckender Reihen angeordnet, die in longitudinaler Richtung im Abstand voneinander angeordnet sind. Im Prinzip könnten bei Büstenhaltern mit größeren Körbchen in jeder Reihe mehr als zwei solcher Elemente 12 angeordnet sein, jedoch ist es, wie nachfolgend noch erläutert, oft nur notwendig, den Querabstand der beiden Elemente 12, nicht deren Anzahl, zu vergrößern, um durch eine Vergrößerung der transversalen Dimension des Verschlusses eine Anpassung an einen breiteren Flügel W zu erreichen.Each of these two female butterfly-shaped closure

Die Vorderseite des äußeren Teils 20c ist mit einem Paar von Hakenelementen 20h versehen, deren jedes einen vergrößerten Kopf 20i und eine nach innen ragende Rippe 20j hat. Die Köpfe 20i können die Auskragungen 12e untergreifen, derart, dass die Teile 10 und 20 gegen eine Trennung in beliebiger Richtung verankert werden, mit Ausnahme der Richtung auf einander zu, d.h. durch eine Bewegung des Teils 20 in Richtung des "SCHUB"-Pfeils der Anzeige 20g. Die Rippen 20j, die an der Innenseite der Köpfe 20i angeordnet sind, dienen zur Gleitführung der Köpfe 20i zwischen den Armen 12c der Teile 12a in die Schließposition.The front side of the

Zum Zweck einer mehr in die Einzelheiten gehenden Erläuterung des erfindungsgemäßen Büstenhalterverschlusses sei im Folgenden auf die
In Fällen, dass in einer der
Ein sehr wichtiges Charakteristikum des erfindungsgemäßen Büstenhalterverschlusses besteht darin, dass zur Verbindung der Rückenteile des Büstenhalters eine geringe Mindestkraft aufgebracht werden muss, d.h. ein bestimmter Widerstand überwunden werden muss. Nach Überwindung dieses Widerstandschwellenwertes ist jedoch die Verbindung extrem zugfest, d.h. je größer eine Zugkraft wird, die im Sinne der Bewegung der Rückenteile des Büstenhalters voneinander weg wirkt, desto mehr die Haltekraft des Büstenhalterverschlusses zunimmt und die Fixierung der Rückenteile des Büstenhalters aneinander stabilisiert. Andererseits soll die Trägerin des Büstenhalters den Verschluss ohne nennenswerten Kraftaufwand öffnen können.A very important feature of the brassiere closure according to the invention is that a small minimum force must be applied to connect the back parts of the brassiere, ie a certain resistance must be overcome. After overcoming this resistance threshold, however, the compound is extremely resistant to tension, ie ever greater becomes a tensile force acting away from each other in the sense of movement of the back parts of the brassiere, the more the holding force of the brassiere closure increases and stabilizes the fixation of the back parts of the brassiere to one another. On the other hand, the wearer of the brassiere should be able to open the closure without significant effort.
Zu diesem Zweck sind, allgemein ausgedrückt, das weibliche Verschlussteil 10 und das männliche Verschlussteil 20 in solcher Weise gestaltet, dass allgemein ausgedrückt ein Schließen des Büstenhalterverschlusses auch zu einer Stabilisierung der Verschluss-Konfiguration seiner Einzelteile führt, d.h. in dem Verschlussbereich auftretende Zugspannungen, die parallel zur Körperoberfläche der Trägerin des Büstenhalters gerichtet sind, ein Andrücken der miteinander verbundenen Seiten- bzw. Rückenteile des Büstenhalters an dessen Trägerin unterstützen und dadurch die Verbindung der Rückenteile stabilisieren.For this purpose, in general terms, the

Eingesetzt sind Neodym-Permanentmagnete oder auch andere Seltenerdmagnete, die in geeigneten Spezifikationen kommerziell erhältlich sind.The
Im Prinzip ist es ausreichend, nur bei einem der Verschlussteile 10 oder 20 ein permanent-magnetisches Verschlusselement vorzusehen und beim jeweils anderen ein Plättchen aus weichmagnetischem Material zu nehmen, jedoch ist es aus Gründen einer hinreichenden Anziehungskraft zweckmäßig, an beiden Verschlussteilen 10 und 20 Permanentmagnete einzusetzen, die bei der geeigneten Polung vergleichsweise größere Anziehungskräfte zu entfalten vermögen, was andererseits einer raumsparenden, wenig auftragenden Bauweise des Verschlusses 80 zugute kommt.In principle, it is sufficient to provide only one of the
Bei dem zur Erläuterung gewählten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Permanentmagnete 80/w des weiblichen Verschlussteils 10 jeweils zwischen den weiblichen Verschlusselementen 12a der jeweiligen Reihe 12 von Verschlusselementen angeordnet.
