Abstract

The brassiere (10) has a pair of holding elements (18, 30) arranged corresponding to lateral portions (16, 28) of a pair of retractable cups (12, 14). Deployment/retraction units (50, 52, 56, 60, 62, 66) are secured to ends (26, 38) opposite to lateral portions to deploy/retract the cup between a deployed position, in which the ends are moved towards each other, and a retracted position, in which the ends are moved away from each other. An additional pair of fixed support cups (40, 42) is arranged in a lower part of the cups. The units partially cover the fixed support cups.

Description

La présente invention concerne un soutien-gorge à bonnets escamotables ainsi qu'un vêtement comportant un tel soutien-gorge.The present invention relates to a bra cups retractable and a garment comprising such a bra.

Le soutien-gorge est un sous-vêtement féminin composé généralement de deux bonnets fixes et fermés servant à soutenir et à mettre en valeur les seins. Mais d'autres types de soutiens-gorge sont apparus pour des raisons pratiques ou de confort.The bra is a feminine undergarment usually consisting of two closed and closed cups used to support and enhance the breasts. But other types of bras have appeared for practical reasons or comfort.

Il existe notamment le soutien-gorge redresse-seins dont les bonnets sont ouverts de façon à dégager les tétons. Ce soutien-gorge permet de soutenir la poitrine tout en laissant apparents les mamelons afin de donner un effet attirant notamment sous un vêtement moulant.There is in particular the bra-breasts-breasts with the cups open to release the nipples. This bra can support the chest while leaving exposed nipples to give an attractive effect including under a tight garment.

Il existe aussi le soutien-gorge ouvert dont les bonnets sont fendus au niveau des tétons.There is also the open bra whose cups are split at the nipples.

Enfin, il existe des soutiens-gorge à bonnets escamotables tels que le soutien-gorge d'allaitement qui possède des bonnets amovibles pour permettre l'allaitement des nourrissons. Mais dans ce cas, le bonnet est soit en position fermée, soit en position ouverte de façon visiblement inélégante. Ce type de soutien-gorge est relativement adapté pour un usage pratique mais il ne met pas du tout en valeur les seins.Finally, there are bras with folding cups such as the nursing bra that has removable cups to allow infant feeding. But in this case, the cup is either in the closed position or in the open position visibly inelegant manner. This type of bra is relatively suitable for practical use but it does not value the breasts at all.

Pour mettre en valeur ses seins, une utilisatrice doit changer à chaque fois de soutien-gorge selon qu'elle veut un décolleté plus ou moins grand, des bonnets fermés, ouverts ou en position intermédiaire, ou la possibilité d'allaiter.To enhance her breasts, a user must change bra every time she wants a neckline larger or smaller, closed cups, open or in the intermediate position, or the possibility of breastfeeding.

Il peut ainsi être souhaité de prévoir un soutien-gorge à bonnets escamotables qui permette de s'affranchir d'au moins une partie des problèmes et contraintes précités.It may thus be desired to provide a retractable cup bra that allows to overcome at least some of the aforementioned problems and constraints.

L'invention a donc pour objet un soutien-gorge comportant une paire de bonnets escamotables et une paire d'organes de maintien de portions latérales correspondantes respectives des bonnets escamotables, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte des moyens de déploiement/rétractation des bonnets escamotables, ces moyens étant fixés à des extrémités des bonnets escamotables opposées auxdites portions latérales de manière à déployer/rétracter les bonnets escamotables entre :

  • une première disposition déployée des bonnets escamotables dans laquelle lesdites extrémités des bonnets sont rapprochées l'une de l'autre, et
  • une seconde disposition rétractée des bonnets escamotables dans laquelle lesdites extrémités des bonnets sont éloignées l'une de l'autre et rapprochées respectivement desdites portions latérales.
The subject of the invention is therefore a bra comprising a pair of retractable cups and a pair of respective corresponding lateral portion holding members of the retractable cups, characterized in that it comprises means for deploying / retracting the retractable cups. these means being attached to ends of the retractable cups opposite said side portions so as to deploy / retract the retractable cups between:
  • a first deployed disposition of the retractable cups in which said ends of the cups are brought closer to each other, and
  • a second retracted disposition of the retractable cups in which said ends of the cups are spaced apart from each other and respectively close to said lateral portions.

Ainsi, en jouant sur la position relative des extrémités opposées aux portions latérales maintenues des deux bonnets du soutien-gorge, grâce à des moyens de déploiement/rétractation prévus spécifiquement pour cela, les bonnets peuvent être déployés et rétractés à volonté. Notamment, la première disposition déployée des bonnets permet de dissimuler les seins de l'utilisatrice tandis que la seconde disposition rétractée permet de dégager élégamment les tétons, notamment pour l'allaitement d'un nourrisson.Thus, by acting on the relative position of the ends opposite to the maintained side portions of the two bra cups, by means of deployment / retraction provided specifically for this, the cups can be deployed and retracted at will. In particular, the first deployed disposition of the cups makes it possible to conceal the user's breasts while the second retracted arrangement makes it possible to elegantly release the nipples, in particular for the nursing of an infant.

De façon avantageuse, un soutien-gorge selon l'invention comporte en outre une paire supplémentaire de bonnets fixes de soutien, disposés en partie inférieure des bonnets escamotables et recouvrant au moins partiellement les moyens de déploiement/rétractation des bonnets escamotables.Advantageously, a bra according to the invention further comprises an additional pair of fixed support cups, arranged in the lower part of the retractable cups and at least partially covering the means of deployment / retraction of the retractable cups.

De façon optionnelle, la portion latérale maintenue de chaque bonnet escamotable est fixée, par exemple par couture, sur toute sa longueur, sur l'organe de maintien correspondant et les moyens de déploiement/rétractation de l'un quelconque des deux bonnets escamotables comportent un ruban ou cordon fixé, par exemple par couture, à ladite extrémité opposée à la portion latérale maintenue.Optionally, the maintained lateral portion of each retractable cap is fixed, for example by sewing, along its entire length, on the corresponding holding member and the deployment / retraction means of any of the two retractable cups comprise a ribbon or cord fixed, for example by sewing, at said end opposite to the maintained lateral portion.

De façon optionnelle également, les moyens de déploiement/rétractation de l'un quelconque des deux bonnets escamotables comportent en outre une pluralité de boutonnières aménagées dans le bonnet escamotable et à travers lesquelles ledit ruban ou cordon est apte à coulisser.Optionally also, the deployment / retraction means of any of the two retractable cups further comprise a plurality of buttonholes arranged in the retractable cap and through which said ribbon or ribbon is slidable.

De façon optionnelle également, au moins l'une des extrémités de chaque ruban ou cordon de déploiement/rétractation de l'un quelconque des bonnets escamotables comporte des moyens d'attaches d'accessoires, notamment de bijoux.Optionally also, at least one of the ends of each ribbon or deployment / retraction cord of any of the retractable cups comprises attachment means accessories, including jewelry.

De façon optionnelle également, un soutien-gorge selon l'invention peut comporter deux rubans ou cordons de déploiement/rétractation des deux bonnets escamotables, au moins une extrémité de l'un des deux rubans ou cordons étant reliée à une extrémité correspondante de l'autre des deux rubans ou cordons, pour un déploiement et/ou une rétractation coordonnés des deux bonnets escamotables.Optionally also, a brassiere according to the invention may comprise two ribbons or cords deployment / retraction of the two retractable cups, at least one end of one of the two ribbons or cords being connected to a corresponding end of the other of the two ribbons or cords, for a coordinated deployment and / or retraction of the two retractable cups.

De façon optionnelle également, chaque ruban ou cordon de déploiement/rétractation des bonnets escamotables est disposé pour que ses deux extrémités sortent du soutien-gorge par au moins une ouverture disposée en partie centrale du soutien-gorge, par exemple dans une pièce d'entre-bonnets.Optionally also, each ribbon or cord deployment / retraction of the retractable cups is arranged so that its two ends come out of the bra by at least one opening disposed in the central portion of the bra, for example in a room of entry -bonnets.

Le soutien-gorge 10 à bonnets escamotables illustré sur la figure 1 comporte une paire de bonnets escamotables 12, 14. Le bonnet escamotable 12 est représenté en partie droite de la figure 1 et recouvre le sein gauche d'une utilisatrice U. Le bonnet escamotable 14 est représenté en partie gauche de la figure 1 et recouvre le sein droit de l'utilisatrice U.The bra 10 with retractable cups illustrated on the figure 1 comprises a pair of retractable cups 12, 14. The retractable cup 12 is shown in the right portion of the figure 1 and covers the left breast of a user U. The retractable cap 14 is shown in the left part of the figure 1 and covers the right breast of user U.

Le bonnet escamotable 12 est constitué d'une pièce de tissu de forme périphérique approximativement triangulaire. Une première portion latérale 16 de cette pièce de tissu triangulaire, située le long d'un des côtés du triangle, est maintenue, par exemple par couture, sur un organe de maintien 18, ce dernier se prolongeant éventuellement par une bretelle 20 simple, double ou multiple du soutien-gorge 10. Les deux autres portions latérales de la pièce de tissu triangulaire que constitue le bonnet escamotable 12, une portion latérale supérieure 22 et une portion latérale inférieure 24, sont libres et peuvent donc être flottantes. Elles se rejoignent en une extrémité 26 opposée à la première portion latérale 16. Cette extrémité 26 est située au voisinage du centre du soutien-gorge 10 et donc de la poitrine de l'utilisatrice U lorsque le bonnet escamotable 12 est en disposition déployée comme cela est illustré sur la figure 1.The retractable cap 12 consists of a piece of tissue of approximately triangular peripheral shape. A first lateral portion 16 of this piece of triangular fabric, located along one of the sides of the triangle, is held, for example by stitching, on a holding member 18, the latter optionally extending by a single, double shoulder strap 20 or the multiple of the bra 10. The other two lateral portions of the piece of triangular fabric constituted by the retractable cap 12, an upper lateral portion 22 and a lower lateral portion 24, are free and can therefore be floating. They meet at one end 26 opposite to the first lateral portion 16. This end 26 is located near the center of the bra 10 and therefore the chest of the user U when the retractable cap 12 is deployed in this manner. is illustrated on the figure 1 .

Le bonnet escamotable 14 est également, par symétrie verticale, constitué d'une pièce de tissu de forme périphérique approximativement triangulaire. Une première portion latérale 28 de cette pièce de tissu triangulaire, située le long d'un des côtés du triangle, est maintenue, par exemple par couture, sur un organe de maintien 30, ce dernier se prolongeant éventuellement par une bretelle 32 simple, double ou multiple du soutien-gorge 10. Les deux autres portions latérales de la pièce de tissu triangulaire que constitue le bonnet escamotable 14, une portion latérale supérieure 34 et une portion latérale inférieure 36, sont libres et peuvent donc être flottantes. Elles se rejoignent en une extrémité 38 opposée à la première portion latérale 28, située au voisinage du centre du soutien-gorge 10 et donc de la poitrine de l'utilisatrice U lorsque le bonnet 14 est en disposition déployée comme cela est illustré sur la figure 1.The retractable cap 14 is also, by vertical symmetry, consisting of a piece of tissue of approximately triangular peripheral shape. A first lateral portion 28 of this piece of triangular fabric, situated along one of the sides of the triangle, is held, for example by stitching, on a holding member 30, the latter optionally extending by a single, double shoulder strap 32 or the multiple of the bra 10. The other two lateral portions of the piece of triangular fabric constituted by the retractable cap 14, an upper lateral portion 34 and a lower lateral portion 36, are free and can therefore be floating. They meet at one end 38 opposite to the first lateral portion 28, located in the vicinity of the center of the bra 10 and therefore the chest of the user U when the cup 14 is in deployed disposition as shown in FIG. figure 1 .

Le soutien-gorge 10 comporte en outre une paire supplémentaire de bonnets fixes de soutien 40 et 42, disposés en partie inférieure des bonnets escamotables 12 et 14 et recouvrant leurs portions latérales inférieures 24 et 36. Le bonnet fixe de soutien 40 est représenté en partie droite de la figure 1 et soutient le sein gauche de l'utilisatrice U en recouvrant la portion latérale inférieure 24 du bonnet escamotable 12. Le bonnet fixe de soutien 42 est représenté en partie gauche de la figure 1 et soutient le sein droit de l'utilisatrice U en recouvrant la portion latérale inférieure 36 du bonnet escamotable 14. Ces bonnets fixes de soutien 40 et 42 peuvent être plus ou moins larges ou en forme de demi-lune pour soutenir les seins de l'utilisatrice, même en position rétractée des bonnets escamotables 12 et 14, comme cela sera vu ultérieurement en référence à la figure 5.The bra 10 further comprises an additional pair of fixed support cups 40 and 42 arranged at the bottom of the retractable cups 12 and 14 and covering their lower side portions 24 and 36. The fixed support cup 40 is shown in the right portion of the figure 1 and supports the left breast of the user U by covering the lower lateral portion 24 of the retractable cup 12. The fixed support cup 42 is shown on the left-hand side of the figure 1 and supports the right breast of the user U by covering the lower lateral portion 36 of the retractable cap 14. These fixed support cups 40 and 42 may be more or less wide or in the form of a half-moon to support the breasts of the user, even in the retracted position of the retractable cups 12 and 14, as will be seen later with reference to the figure 5 .

Le soutien-gorge 10 comporte en outre un entre-bonnets 44 qui est une pièce de tissu plane formant une partie intermédiaire centrale du soutien-gorge reliant les deux bonnets fixes de soutien 40 et 42 et cousue sur ces derniers. De même, le soutien-gorge 10 comporte deux parties latérales planes 46 et 48, cousues sur les bonnets fixes de soutien 40, 42 et sur les organes de maintien 18, 30, munies d'attaches (non visibles) destinées à s'assembler dans le dos de l'utilisatrice U.The bra 10 further comprises a bonnet 44 which is a piece of flat fabric forming a central intermediate portion of the bra connecting the two fixed support cups 40 and 42 and stitched thereon. Similarly, the bra 10 has two flat lateral portions 46 and 48, sewn on the fixed support cups 40, 42 and on the holding members 18, 30, provided with fasteners (not visible) intended to assemble in the back of the user U.

Enfin, le soutien-gorge 10 comporte des moyens de déploiement/rétractation des bonnets escamotables 12 et 14, ces moyens étant fixés aux extrémités 26 et 38 comme cela sera détaillé en référence à la figure 2. Ces moyens comportent un premier ruban ou cordon 50 dont une première extrémité 52 passe par un oeillet 54 disposé dans l'entre-bonnets 44 et dont l'autre extrémité 56 passe par un oeillet 58 disposé en partie inférieure de la partie latérale plane 46. Entre ces deux extrémités, le ruban ou cordon 50 est dissimulé par le bonnet fixe de soutien 40. Les moyens de déploiement/rétractation comportent en outre un second ruban ou cordon 60 dont une première extrémité 62 passe par un oeillet 64 disposé dans l'entre-bonnets 44 et dont l'autre extrémité 66 passe par un oeillet 68 disposé en partie inférieure de la partie latérale plane 48. Entre ces deux extrémités, le ruban ou cordon 60 est dissimulé par le bonnet fixe de soutien 42.Finally, the bra 10 comprises means for deploying / retracting the retractable cups 12 and 14, these means being fixed at the ends 26 and 38 as will be detailed with reference to the figure 2 . These means comprise a first ribbon or cord 50, a first end 52 passes through an eyelet 54 disposed in the cups 44 and whose other end 56 passes through an eyelet 58 disposed in the lower part of the flat lateral portion 46. Between these two ends, the tape or cord 50 is concealed by the fixed support cap 40. The deployment / retraction means further comprise a second ribbon or cord 60, a first end 62 passes through an eyelet 64 disposed in the -bonnets 44 and whose other end 66 passes through an eyelet 68 disposed in the lower part of the flat lateral portion 48. Between these two ends, the ribbon or cord 60 is concealed by the fixed support cap 42.

Le bonnet escamotable 12 est détaillé sur la figure 2. Comme cela est visible sur cette figure, une couture 70 fixe le ruban ou cordon 50 à l'extrémité 26 située à l'opposé de la première portion latérale 16 du bonnet escamotable 12. Par ailleurs, une série de boutonnières 72, alignées dans la portion latérale inférieure 24 du bonnet escamotable 12, guide le ruban ou cordon 50 le long de la portion latérale inférieure 24 de façon à le maintenir dissimulé par le bonnet fixe de soutien 40 et à le faire coulisser le long de la portion latérale inférieure du bonnet escamotable 12. On notera que la couture 70 pourrait être remplacée par tout autre moyen de fixation locale du ruban ou cordon 50 sur l'extrémité 26 du bonnet escamotable 12.The retractable cap 12 is detailed on the figure 2 . As can be seen in this figure, a seam 70 fixes the ribbon or cord 50 at the end 26 located opposite the first lateral portion 16 of the retractable cap 12. Moreover, a series of buttonholes 72, aligned in the lower side portion 24 of the retractable cap 12, guides the ribbon or cord 50 along the lower side portion 24 so as to keep it concealed by the fixed support cap 40 and to slide along the lower side portion of the cap retractable 12. On note that the seam 70 could be replaced by any other means of local attachment of the ribbon or cord 50 on the end 26 of the retractable cap 12.

Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisatrice U tire sur l'extrémité 52 du ruban ou cordon 50 qui sort par l'oeillet 54, elle entraîne l'extrémité 26 du bonnet escamotable 12 vers le centre du soutien-gorge 10 matérialisé par l'entre-bonnets 44, de manière à déployer ce bonnet escamotable 12. Au contraire, lorsque l'utilisatrice U tire sur l'extrémité 56 du ruban ou cordon 50 qui sort par l'oeillet 58, elle entraîne l'extrémité 26 du bonnet escamotable 12 vers sa première portion latérale 16, de manière à le rétracter le long de l'organe de maintien 18.Thus, when the user U pulls on the end 52 of the ribbon or cord 50 that exits through the eyelet 54, she drives the end 26 of the retractable cap 12 towards the center of the bra 10 materialized by the company. cups 44, so as to deploy the retractable cap 12. On the contrary, when the user U pulls on the end 56 of the ribbon or cord 50 which leaves through the eyelet 58, it causes the end 26 of the retractable cap 12 towards its first lateral portion 16, so as to retract it along the holding member 18.

Par ailleurs, comme illustré sur la figure 3 qui représente le bonnet escamotable 12 et le bonnet fixe de soutien 40 en coupe longitudinale, le bonnet fixe de soutien 40 peut comporter une double paroi ouverte sur sa partie supérieure, de manière à loger la portion latérale inférieure 24 du bonnet escamotable 12 entre ses deux parois 40A et 40B. Cela permet de dissimuler le mécanisme de déploiement/rétractation précédemment détaillé, à savoir la portion du ruban ou cordon 50 coulissant le long de la portion latérale inférieure 24 du bonnet escamotable 12, la couture 70 et les boutonnières 72. Cela permet également d'éviter tout frottement entre le ruban ou cordon 50 et la peau de l'utilisatrice U.Moreover, as illustrated on the figure 3 which represents the retractable cap 12 and the fixed support cup 40 in longitudinal section, the fixed support cup 40 may comprise a double wall open on its upper part, so as to accommodate the lower lateral portion 24 of the retractable cap 12 between its two walls 40A and 40B. This makes it possible to conceal the previously detailed deployment / retracting mechanism, namely the portion of the ribbon or cord 50 sliding along the lower lateral portion 24 of the retractable cap 12, the seam 70 and the buttonholes 72. This also makes it possible to avoid any friction between the ribbon or cord 50 and the skin of the user U.

Le bonnet escamotable 14 et son agencement avec le ruban ou cordon 60 ne seront pas détaillés puisqu'ils présentent les mêmes caractéristiques que le bonnet escamotable 12 et le ruban ou cordon 50 à une symétrie verticale près.The retractable cap 14 and its arrangement with the ribbon or cord 60 will not be detailed since they have the same characteristics as the retractable cap 12 and the ribbon or cord 50 to a vertical symmetry.

Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisatrice U tire sur les deux extrémités 52 et 62 des rubans ou cordons 50 et 60, elle déploie les deux bonnets escamotables 12 et 14 dans une première disposition déployée des bonnets dans laquelle les extrémités 26 et 38 sont rapprochées l'une de l'autre au voisinage de l'entre-bonnets 44. Une fois tirées, les deux extrémités 52 et 62 des rubans ou cordons 50 et 60 peuvent être nouées entre elles de manière à maintenir les bonnets 12 et 14 en disposition déployée par un maintien de la pression exercée par les rubans ou cordons 50 et 60. C'est cette configuration qui est précisément illustrée sur la figure 1. Elle assure une dissimulation et un maintien des seins de l'utilisatrice U.Thus, when the user U pulls on the two ends 52 and 62 ribbons or cords 50 and 60, it deploys the two retractable cups 12 and 14 in a first deployed arrangement of the cups in which the ends 26 and 38 are brought together. one of the other in the vicinity of the entre-cups 44. Once pulled, the two ends 52 and 62 of the ribbons or cords 50 and 60 can be tied together so as to maintain the cups 12 and 14 in deployed arrangement by a maintenance of the pressure exerted by the ribbons or cords 50 and 60. It is this configuration which is precisely illustrated on the figure 1 . It ensures a concealment and a maintenance of the breasts of the user U.

On notera que de façon optionnelle, les extrémités 52 et 62 des rubans ou cordons 50 et 60 peuvent être liées entre elles, par exemple par couture, de manière à coordonner l'opération de déploiement des deux bonnets escamotables 12 et 14.It will be noted that, optionally, the ends 52 and 62 of the ribbons or cords 50 and 60 may be interconnected, for example by sewing, so as to coordinate the deployment operation of the two retractable cups 12 and 14.

Une autre configuration est illustrée sur la figure 4. Dans cette autre configuration, les extrémités 52 et 62 sont dénouées et l'utilisatrice U a très légèrement tiré sur les extrémités 56 et 66 des rubans ou cordons 50 et 60 de manière à légèrement rétracter les bonnets escamotables 12 et 14 par coulissement des rubans ou cordons 50 et 60 le long des portions latérales inférieures 24 et 36 des bonnets escamotables 12 et 14. Dans cette disposition intermédiaire, les extrémités 26 et 38 sont légèrement éloignées l'une de l'autre et rapprochées respectivement des premières portions latérales 16 et 28. En tirant plus ou moins sur les extrémités 56 et 66 des rubans ou cordons 50 et 60, on règle le décolleté du soutien-gorge 10.Another configuration is illustrated on the figure 4 . In this other configuration, the ends 52 and 62 are unwound and the user U has very slightly pulled on the ends 56 and 66 of the ribbons or cords 50 and 60 so as to slightly retract the retractable cups 12 and 14 by sliding ribbons or cords 50 and 60 along the lower lateral portions 24 and 36 of the retractable cups 12 and 14 In this intermediate arrangement, the ends 26 and 38 are slightly spaced apart from each other and are respectively close to the first lateral portions 16 and 28. Pulling more or less on the ends 56 and 66 of the strips or cords 50 and 60 , we adjust the neckline of the bra 10.

Enfin, dans la configuration illustrée sur la figure 5, en tirant complètement sur les extrémités 56 et 66 des rubans ou cordons 50 et 60, l'utilisatrice U rétracte complètement les bonnets escamotables 12 et 14 le long des organes de maintien 18 et 30 de manière à dévoiler ses seins, ce qui est utile notamment pour une opération d'allaitement sans avoir besoin d'ôter son soutien-gorge 10. Le mécanisme est à la fois simple et élégant comme l'illustre la figure 5. Dans cette disposition de rétractation complète, l'éloignement des extrémités 26 et 38 est maximal, ces extrémités étant déplacées au voisinage des premières portions latérales 16 et 28. En présence des bretelles simples, doubles ou multiples 20 et 32, le mécanisme de déploiement/rétractation peut-être configuré pour permettre aux bonnets escamotables de se rétracter de l'autre coté des bretelles en position rétractée.Finally, in the configuration illustrated on the figure 5 by completely pulling on the ends 56 and 66 of the ribbons or cords 50 and 60, the user U completely retracts the retractable cups 12 and 14 along the holding members 18 and 30 so as to reveal her breasts, which is useful especially for a breastfeeding operation without the need to remove her bra 10. The mechanism is both simple and elegant as illustrated by the figure 5 . In this complete retracting arrangement, the distance between the ends 26 and 38 is maximum, these ends being displaced in the vicinity of the first lateral portions 16 and 28. In the presence of single, double or multiple shoulder straps 20 and 32, the deployment mechanism / retraction may be configured to allow the retractable cups to retract on the other side of the straps in the retracted position.

On notera que de façon optionnelle, les rubans ou cordons 50 et 60 pourraient être prolongés et guidés en aller-retour dans les portions latérales inférieures 24 et 36 de manière à ressortir par des oeillets disposés, comme les oeillets 54 et 64, au centre du soutien-gorge 10, c'est-à-dire dans l'entre-bonnets 44. Leurs extrémités 56 et 66 pourraient alors également être liées entre elles, par exemple par couture, de manière à coordonner l'opération de rétractation des deux bonnets escamotables 12 et 14. En variante également, dans cette configuration, les deux extrémités d'un même ruban ou cordon pourraient ressortir par une même ouverture.It will be noted that, optionally, the ribbons or cords 50 and 60 could be extended and guided back and forth in the lower lateral portions 24 and 36 so as to emerge by eyelets arranged, such as the eyelets 54 and 64, in the center of the bra 10, that is to say in the bonnets 44. Their ends 56 and 66 could then also be bonded together, for example by sewing, so as to coordinate the retraction operation of the two cups 12 and 14 alternatively. Also in this configuration, the two ends of the same ribbon or cord could emerge through the same opening.

On notera enfin au vu de ce qui précède que les extrémités 52, 56, 62 et 66 des rubans ou cordons 50 et 60 remplissent principalement une fonction de déploiement/rétractation des bonnets escamotables 12 et 14. Mais elles peuvent en outre remplir une fonction de support pour accessoires tels que des bijoux en étant munies des moyens d'attaches correspondants (non illustrés). En remplissant cette fonction de support, elles permettent en outre de constituer des poids, ce qui, en particulier pour les extrémités 52 et 62, assure un maintien par pression de la disposition déployée des bonnets escamotables 12 et 14. Plus généralement, selon le poids des accessoires attachés aux extrémités 52, 56, 62 ou 66, les bonnets escamotables 12 et 14 peuvent être maintenus en position rétractée, déployée ou intermédiaire. Dans ce cas, il n'est pas nécessaire de faire un noeud avec les rubans ou cordons 50, 60 ou d'accrocher les rubans ou cordons par tout autre moyen remplissant la même fonction de maintien des bonnets escamotables 12, 14 dans la position souhaitée par l'utilisatrice U.Finally, it should be noted in view of the above that the ends 52, 56, 62 and 66 of the ribbons or cords 50 and 60 serve mainly a function of deployment / retraction of the retractable cups 12 and 14. But they can also fulfill a function of support for accessories such as jewelery being provided with corresponding fastening means (not shown). By fulfilling this support function, they also make it possible to constitute weights, which, in particular for the ends 52 and 62, ensures a pressure hold of the deployed disposition of the retractable cups 12 and 14. More generally, according to the weight accessories attached to the ends 52, 56, 62 or 66, the cups retractable 12 and 14 can be maintained in the retracted position, deployed or intermediate. In this case, it is not necessary to make a knot with the ribbons or cords 50, 60 or to hang the ribbons or cords by any other means fulfilling the same function of holding the retractable cups 12, 14 in the desired position by the user U.

Il apparaît clairement qu'un soutien-gorge à bonnets escamotables tel que celui décrit précédemment permet un déploiement ou une rétractation à volonté de ses bonnets, de façon élégante, aisée et selon de multiples dispositions de décolleté grâce à l'actionnement des rubans. En prévoyant en outre des boutonnières maintenant les rubans le long des portions latérales inférieures des bonnets, ces boutonnières étant en outre cachées par des bonnets fixes prévus en partie inférieure des bonnets escamotables, le déploiement et la rétractation des bonnets sont accompagnés de façon esthétique et pratique. Ainsi, avec un même soutien-gorge, l'utilisatrice peut ouvrir ou fermer les bonnets de manière simple et ludique. Elle peut faire varier son décolleté et exposer sa poitrine, notamment pour un allaitement, comme elle le souhaite.It is clear that a retractable cup bra such as that described above allows deployment or retraction at will of his cups, elegantly, easily and in multiple cleavage arrangements through the operation of the ribbons. By further providing buttonholes holding the ribbons along the lower side portions of the cups, these buttonholes being further hidden by fixed cups provided in the lower part of the cups retractable, the deployment and retraction of the cups are accompanied in an aesthetic and practical manner . Thus, with the same bra, the user can open or close the cups in a simple and fun way. She can vary her cleavage and expose her breast, especially for breastfeeding, as she wishes.

Le soutien-gorge 10' à bonnets escamotables représenté sur la figure 6 illustre un deuxième mode de réalisation possible de l'invention. Il comporte, comme dans le mode de réalisation précédent, la paire de bonnets escamotables 12, 14 recouvrant les seins gauche et droit de l'utilisatrice U.The 10 'bra with retractable cups shown on the figure 6 illustrates a second possible embodiment of the invention. It comprises, as in the previous embodiment, the pair of retractable cups 12, 14 covering the left and right breasts of the user U.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, l'organe de maintien de la première portion latérale 16 du bonnet escamotable 12 est constitué :

  • de la partie inférieure de la bretelle 20, simple, double ou multiple du soutien-gorge 10', qui prolonge par exemple le bonnet escamotable 12 dans sa partie supérieure, et
  • d'une fixation de l'extrémité inférieure de la première portion latérale 16 au reste du soutien-gorge 10', comme cela sera détaillé en référence à la figure 7.
In this embodiment, the member for holding the first lateral portion 16 of the retractable cap 12 consists of:
  • of the lower part of the ramp 20, single, double or multiple of the bra 10 ', which extends for example the retractable cap 12 in its upper part, and
  • a fixing of the lower end of the first lateral portion 16 to the rest of the bra 10 ', as will be detailed with reference to the figure 7 .

La portion latérale supérieure 22 est elle aussi maintenue par la partie inférieure de la bretelle 20 et par une fixation de son extrémité inférieure 26 à l'aide de moyens qui seront détaillés en référence à la figure 7. La portion latérale inférieure 24 est quant à elle fixée sur toute sa longueur et de manière coulissante, depuis l'extrémité inférieure de la première portion latérale 16 jusqu'à l'extrémité inférieure 26 de la portion latérale supérieure 22, au reste du soutien-gorge 10'.The upper lateral portion 22 is also maintained by the lower part of the strap 20 and by fixing its lower end 26 by means which will be detailed with reference to the figure 7 . The lower lateral portion 24 is fixed lengthwise and slidably from the lower end of the first lateral portion 16 to the lower end 26 of the upper lateral portion 22, to the rest of the support. 10 'throat.

Comme dans le mode de réalisation précédent, l'extrémité 26 est opposée à la première portion latérale 16 et est située au voisinage du centre du soutien-gorge 10' et donc de la poitrine de l'utilisatrice U lorsque le bonnet escamotable 12 est en disposition déployée comme cela est illustré sur la figure 6.As in the previous embodiment, the end 26 is opposite to the first lateral portion 16 and is located near the center of the bra 10 'and thus the chest of the user U when the retractable cap 12 is in deployed layout as illustrated on the figure 6 .

Par symétrie verticale, l'organe de maintien de la première portion latérale 28 du bonnet escamotable 14 est constitué :

  • de la partie inférieure de la bretelle 32, simple, double ou multiple du soutien-gorge 10', qui prolonge par exemple le bonnet escamotable 14 dans sa partie supérieure, et
  • d'une fixation de l'extrémité inférieure de la première portion latérale 28 au reste du soutien-gorge 10', comme cela sera également détaillé en référence à la figure 7.
By vertical symmetry, the member for holding the first lateral portion 28 of the retractable cap 14 consists of:
  • of the lower part of the strap 32, single, double or multiple of the bra 10 ', which extends for example the retractable cap 14 in its upper part, and
  • a fixation of the lower end of the first lateral portion 28 to the rest of the bra 10 ', as will also be detailed with reference to the figure 7 .

La portion latérale supérieure 34 est elle aussi maintenue par la partie inférieure de la bretelle 32 et par une fixation de son extrémité inférieure 38 à l'aide des moyens qui seront détaillés en référence à la figure 7 et qui sont visibles en pointillés sur la figure 6 dans cette partie du soutien-gorge 10' sous la référence 50'. La portion latérale inférieure 36 est quant à elle fixée sur toute sa longueur et de manière coulissante, depuis l'extrémité inférieure de la première portion latérale 28 jusqu'à l'extrémité inférieure 38 de la portion latérale supérieure 34, au reste du soutien-gorge 10'.The upper lateral portion 34 is also maintained by the lower part of the shoulder strap 32 and by fixing its lower end 38 using the means which will be detailed with reference to the figure 7 and which are visible in dashed lines on the figure 6 in this part of the bra 10 'under the reference 50'. The lower lateral portion 36 is fixed throughout its length and in a sliding manner, from the lower end of the first lateral portion 28 to the lower end 38 of the upper lateral portion 34, to the rest of the support. 10 'throat.

Comme dans le mode de réalisation précédent, l'extrémité 38 est opposée à la première portion latérale 28 et est située au voisinage du centre du soutien-gorge 10' et donc de la poitrine de l'utilisatrice U lorsque le bonnet escamotable 14 est en disposition déployée comme cela est illustré sur la figure 6.As in the previous embodiment, the end 38 is opposite the first lateral portion 28 and is located near the center of the bra 10 'and therefore the chest of the user U when the retractable cap 14 is in deployed layout as illustrated on the figure 6 .

Le soutien-gorge 10' comporte en outre, comme le soutien-gorge 10, la paire supplémentaire de bonnets fixes de soutien 40 et 42, disposés en partie inférieure des bonnets escamotables 12 et 14 et recouvrant leurs portions latérales inférieures 24 et 36.The bra 10 'further comprises, like the bra 10, the additional pair of fixed support cups 40 and 42, arranged in the lower part of the retractable cups 12 and 14 and covering their lower lateral portions 24 and 36.

Le soutien-gorge 10' comporte en outre également l'entre-bonnets 44 et les deux parties latérales planes 46 et 48, cousus sur les bonnets fixes de soutien 40, 42. Les deux parties latérales planes 46 et 48 sont par ailleurs munies d'attaches (non visibles) destinées à s'assembler dans le dos de l'utilisatrice U.The bra 10 'furthermore comprises the bonnets 44 and the two flat lateral portions 46 and 48, sewn on the fixed support cups 40, 42. The two flat lateral parts 46 and 48 are furthermore provided with fasteners (not visible) for assembly in the back of user U.

En revanche, le soutien-gorge 10' ne comporte pas de moyens de déploiement/rétractation à rubans ou cordons et oeillets. Les moyens de déploiement/rétractation 50' du soutien-gorge 10', visibles en pointillés pour le bonnet escamotable 14 sur la figure 6, sont détaillés sur la figure 7. Pour ce bonnet escamotable 14, ils comportent un organe de maintien 52', par exemple une armature, ainsi qu'un ensemble d'attaches, passants ou boucles 54', fixés par exemple par couture sur la portion latérale inférieure 36 et entourant l'armature 52'. Les attaches, passants ou boucles 54' peuvent être plus précisément répartis sur toute la longueur de la portion latérale inférieure 36 et peuvent entourer l'armature 52' sur toute sa longueur. A ses deux extrémités, l'armature 52' est fixée au soutien-gorge 10' par couture ou par tout autre moyen. Par exemple l'une 56' de ses deux extrémités est fixée au bonnet fixe de soutien 42, au voisinage de l'entre-bonnets 44, et l'autre 58' de ses deux extrémités est fixée également au bonnet fixe de soutien 42, mais au voisinage de la partie latérale plane 48. Lorsque l'utilisatrice U porte le soutien-gorge 10', les moyens de déploiement/rétractation 50' de ce deuxième mode de réalisation sont complètement dissimulés par le bonnet fixe de soutien 42.In contrast, the bra 10 'does not include deployment / retraction means to ribbons or cords and eyelets. Deployment / retraction means 50 'of the bra 10', visible in dotted lines for the cap retractable 14 on the figure 6 , are detailed on the figure 7 . For this retractable cap 14, they comprise a holding member 52 ', for example an armature, and a set of fasteners, loops or loops 54', fixed for example by sewing on the lower lateral portion 36 and surrounding the frame 52 '. Fasteners, loops or loops 54 'may be more precisely distributed over the entire length of the lower side portion 36 and may surround the frame 52' over its entire length. At both ends, the frame 52 'is attached to the bra 10' by sewing or by any other means. For example one 56 'of its two ends is fixed to the fixed support cup 42, in the vicinity of the bonnet 44, and the other 58' of its two ends is also fixed to the fixed support cup 42, but in the vicinity of the flat side portion 48. When the user U wears the bra 10 ', the deployment / retraction means 50' of this second embodiment are completely concealed by the fixed support cup 42.

Ainsi, grâce à la coopération de l'armature 52' et des attaches, passants ou boucles 54', les moyens de déploiement/rétractation 50' sont fixés, de façon coulissante, à l'extrémité 38 du bonnet escamotable 14 opposée à la première portion latérale 28. Plus précisément, les moyens de déploiement/rétractation 50' sont fixés, de façon coulissante, à la portion latérale inférieure 36 sur toute sa longueur, depuis l'extrémité 38 du bonnet escamotable 14 opposée à la première portion latérale 28 jusqu'à l'autre extrémité inférieure du bonnet escamotable 14 faisant la jonction entre la première portion latérale 28 et la portion latérale inférieure 36.Thus, thanks to the cooperation of the armature 52 'and the fasteners, loops or loops 54', the deployment / retraction means 50 'are slidably attached to the end 38 of the retractable cap 14 opposite the first one. Lateral portion 28. More specifically, the deployment / retraction means 50 'are slidably attached to the lower lateral portion 36 over its entire length, from the end 38 of the retractable cap 14 opposite the first lateral portion 28 until at the other lower end of the retractable cup 14 making the junction between the first lateral portion 28 and the lower lateral portion 36.

Des moyens de déploiement/rétractation similaires sont prévus pour le bonnet escamotable 12 et ne seront pas détaillés. Ils sont eux aussi fixés, de façon coulissante, à la portion latérale inférieure 24 sur toute sa longueur, depuis l'extrémité 26 du bonnet escamotable 12 opposée à la première portion latérale 16 jusqu'à l'autre extrémité inférieure du bonnet escamotable 12 faisant la jonction entre la première portion latérale 16 et la portion latérale inférieure 24.Similar deployment / retraction means are provided for the retractable cap 12 and will not be detailed. They are also fixed, in a sliding manner, to the lower lateral portion 24 over its entire length, since the end 26 of the retractable cap 12 opposite the first lateral portion 16 to the other lower end of the retractable cap 12 making the junction between the first lateral portion 16 and the lower lateral portion 24.

Ainsi, par coulissement des attaches, passants ou boucles 54' le long de l'armature 52', l'utilisatrice U peut ramener l'extrémité 38 du bonnet escamotable 14 vers le centre du soutien-gorge 10' matérialisé par l'entre-bonnets 44, de manière à déployer ce bonnet escamotable 14. Au contraire, par coulissement également, elle peut ramener l'extrémité 38 du bonnet escamotable 14 vers sa première portion latérale 28, de manière à le rétracter le long de cette première portion latérale 28. De la même façon, l'utilisatrice peut déployer ou rétracter le bonnet escamotable 12.Thus, by sliding the fasteners, loops or loops 54 'along the frame 52', the user U can return the end 38 of the retractable cap 14 towards the center of the bra 10 'materialized by the company. cups 44, so as to deploy this retractable cap 14. On the contrary, also by sliding, it can bring the end 38 of the retractable cap 14 towards its first lateral portion 28, so as to retract along this first lateral portion 28 In the same way, the user can deploy or retract the retractable bonnet 12.

Par ailleurs, comme illustré sur la figure 8 qui représente le bonnet escamotable 14 et le bonnet fixe de soutien 42 en coupe longitudinale et comme dans le premier mode de réalisation, le bonnet fixe de soutien 42 peut comporter une double paroi ouverte sur sa partie supérieure, de manière à loger la portion latérale inférieure 36 du bonnet escamotable 14 entre ses deux parois 42A et 42B. Cela permet de dissimuler le mécanisme de déploiement/rétractation précédemment détaillé en référence à la figure 7, à savoir l'armature 52' (fixée par ses extrémités à l'intérieur du bonnet fixe de soutien 42) et les attaches, passants ou boucles 54'. Cela permet également d'éviter tout frottement entre les moyens de déploiement/rétractation 50' et la peau de l'utilisatrice U.Moreover, as illustrated on the figure 8 which represents the retractable cap 14 and the fixed support cup 42 in longitudinal section and as in the first embodiment, the fixed support cup 42 may comprise a double wall open on its upper part, so as to house the lower lateral portion 36 of the retractable cap 14 between its two walls 42A and 42B. This makes it possible to hide the previously detailed deployment / retraction mechanism with reference to the figure 7 , namely the frame 52 '(fixed at its ends inside the fixed support cup 42) and the fasteners, loops or loops 54'. This also makes it possible to avoid any friction between the deployment / retraction means 50 'and the skin of the user U.

Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisatrice U ramène les deux extrémités 26 et 38 dans une disposition où elles sont rapprochées l'une de l'autre au voisinage de l'entre-bonnets 44, elle déploie les deux bonnets escamotables 12 et 14 dans une première disposition déployée des bonnets. C'est cette configuration qui est précisément illustrée sur la figure 6. Elle assure une dissimulation et un maintien des seins de l'utilisatrice U.Thus, when the user U brings back the two ends 26 and 38 in an arrangement where they are close to each other in the vicinity of the bonnet 44, it deploys the two retractable cups 12 and 14 in a first unfolded disposition of the cups. It is this configuration which is precisely illustrated on the figure 6 . It ensures a concealment and a maintenance of the breasts of the user U.

Une autre configuration est illustrée sur la figure 9. Dans cette autre configuration, l'utilisatrice U a fait coulisser les extrémités 26 et 38 dans une disposition intermédiaire de manière à légèrement rétracter les bonnets escamotables 12 et 14. Dans cette disposition intermédiaire, les extrémités 26 et 38 sont légèrement éloignées l'une de l'autre et rapprochées respectivement des premières portions latérales 16 et 28. En déplaçant plus ou moins les extrémités 26 et 38 par coulissement le long des armatures des moyens de déploiement/rétractation, on règle le décolleté du soutien-gorge 10'.Another configuration is illustrated on the figure 9 . In this other configuration, the user U has slid the ends 26 and 38 in an intermediate arrangement so as to slightly retract the retractable cups 12 and 14. In this intermediate arrangement, the ends 26 and 38 are slightly apart from each other. the other and closer respectively to the first lateral portions 16 and 28. By moving more or less the ends 26 and 38 by sliding along the armatures of the deployment / retraction means, the neckline of the bra 10 'is adjusted.

Enfin, dans la configuration illustrée sur la figure 10, en ramenant complètement les extrémités 26 et 38 au voisinage des premières portions latérales 16 et 28, l'utilisatrice U rétracte complètement les bonnets escamotables 12 et 14 de manière à dévoiler ses seins, ce qui est utile notamment pour une opération d'allaitement sans avoir besoin d'ôter son soutien-gorge 10'. Le mécanisme est à la fois simple et élégant comme l'illustre la figure 10. Dans cette disposition de rétractation complète, l'éloignement des extrémités 26 et 38 est maximal.Finally, in the configuration illustrated on the figure 10 , by completely bringing back the ends 26 and 38 in the vicinity of the first lateral portions 16 and 28, the user U completely retracts the retractable cups 12 and 14 so as to reveal her breasts, which is particularly useful for a breastfeeding operation without need to remove her 10 'bra. The mechanism is both simple and elegant as illustrated by figure 10 . In this complete retraction arrangement, the distance of the ends 26 and 38 is maximal.

Il apparaît clairement qu'un soutien-gorge à bonnets escamotables tel que celui décrit en référence aux figures 6 à 10 permet, comme celui du premier mode de réalisation, un déploiement ou une rétractation à volonté de ses bonnets, de façon élégante, aisée et selon de multiples dispositions de décolleté grâce à l'actionnement par coulissement des moyens de déploiement/rétractation (référence 50' pour le bonnet escamotable 14). Ces moyens de déploiement/rétractation étant en outre cachés par des bonnets fixes prévus en partie inférieure des bonnets escamotables, le déploiement et la rétractation des bonnets sont accompagnés de façon esthétique et pratique. Ainsi, avec un même soutien-gorge, l'utilisatrice peut ouvrir ou fermer les bonnets de manière simple et ludique. Elle peut faire varier son décolleté et exposer sa poitrine, notamment pour un allaitement, comme elle le souhaite.It is clear that a retractable cup bra such as that described with reference to Figures 6 to 10 allows, as that of the first embodiment, a deployment or retraction at will of his cups, elegantly, easily and in multiple arrangements of cleavage through the actuation by sliding the deployment / retraction means (reference 50 'for the retractable cap 14). These deployment / retraction means being further hidden by fixed cups provided in the lower part of the retractable cups, the deployment and retraction of the cups are accompanied in an aesthetic and practical manner. Thus, with the same bra, the user can open or close the cups in a simple and fun way. She can vary her cleavage and expose her breast, especially for breastfeeding, as she wishes.
