Abstract

The invention relates to a brassiere (1) in which each substantially hemispherical cup (2) comprises, in the bottom portion thereof, a polycarbonate support (20) in the shape of a crescent that becomes wider toward the outside, which is thermoformed, and which is secured to the two layers of lace or gauze of the cup by means of a fabric shell adhered to the support and slightly projecting beyond same in order to enable sewing with the layers of lace or gauze along the bottom edge (4). The result is a light brassiere that provides the chest with an advantageous shape.

Description

Soutien-gorge, notamment de dentelle, à bonnets à support amélioré  Bra, including lace, cup with improved support
La présente invention concerne un soutien-gorge à bonnets présentant un support amélioré. The present invention relates to a cup bra with improved support.
L'invention s'intéresse plus particulièrement à des soutien-gorge réalisés avec des matières légères, notamment des matières textiles à trous, telle qu'une gaze ou une dentelle. Il est difficile de donner à ces soutien- gorge une forme qui puisse imprimer à la poitrine une jolie forme dans la mesure où ces matières sont particulièrement légères et ne gardent pas leur forme. Certes, on peut prévoir dans ces soutien-gorge des armatures rigides, souvent métalliques, qui sont insérées dans le soutien-gorge au niveau de périphérie inférieure des bonnets de forme sensiblement et partiellement hémisphérique ; cependant, ces armatures rigides créent chez l'utilisatrice de P inconfort et des marques sous la poitrine en raison de la trop grande différence entre la relative dureté des armatures et la relative mollesse des bonnets en textiles léger ; surtout ces armatures sont insuffisantes pour imprimer une forme avantageuse à la poitrine, quand elle sont utilisées avec des textiles légers.  The invention is more particularly concerned with bra made with lightweight materials, especially textile materials with holes, such as gauze or lace. It is difficult to give these bra a form that can print on the chest a nice shape to the extent that these materials are particularly light and do not keep their shape. Admittedly, it can provide in these bra rigid frames, often metal, which are inserted into the bra at the lower periphery of the cups of substantially and partially hemispherical shape; however, these rigid armatures create in the user discomfort and marks under the chest due to the great difference between the relative hardness of the frames and the relative softness of lightweight textile caps; especially these frames are insufficient to print an advantageous shape to the chest, when they are used with light textiles.
Le document GB 2456897 fait connaître dans le domaine des soutien-gorge traditionnels la mise en place d'un insert destiné à remplacer l'armature. Plus précisément, ce document montre un soutien-gorge comprenant, classiquement, deux bonnets de forme sensiblement partiellement hémisphérique comportant chacun une couche de textile extérieure et une couche de textile intérieure, les deux bonnets étant reliés entre eux sur leur côté intérieur et étant reliés sur leur côté extérieur à des parties latérales formant un dos de soutien-gorge lorsqu'elles sont attachées l'une à l'autre grâce à un dispositif d'attache, le haut de chaque bonnet étant relié à une bretelle rattachée au bras de soutien-gorge. Selon ce document, chaque bonnet comprend dans sa partie inférieure un insert non plan conformé dans l'espace et réalisé dans une feuille mince de matériau plastique relativement rigide dans une direction coextensive et élastiquement flexible dans une direction transversale, Γ insert ayant à plat sensiblement une forme d'arc circulaire ou de croissant dont la largeur augmente d'une première extrémité intérieure vers une seconde extrémité extérieure, la conformation de l'insert conformé dans l'espace étant adaptée pour que l'insert suive sensiblement la forme hémisphérique du bonnet. L'insert est conformé par thermo formage, et avantageusement solidarisé entre les couches textiles intérieure et extérieure du bonnet par thermocollage intégral lors de la même opération de thermoformage. Il est clair que ce mode de réalisation concerne des soutien-gorge réalisés dans des matières textiles plutôt robustes et pleines, mais pas dans des matières légères, notamment des matières textiles à trous, comme envisagé dans la présente invention. GB 2456897 discloses in the field of traditional bra setting up an insert for replacing the frame. More specifically, this document shows a bra conventionally comprising two cups of substantially semi-hemispherical shape each comprising an outer textile layer and an inner textile layer, the two cups being interconnected on their inner side and being connected on their outer side to side portions forming a bra back when they are attached to each other by means of a fastening device, the top of each cup being connected to a strap attached to the support arm; throat. According to this document, each cap comprises in its lower part a non-plane insert shaped in space and made of a thin sheet of relatively rigid plastic material in a coextensive direction and elastically flexible in a transverse direction, Γ insert having substantially flat a circular arc or crescent shape whose width increases from a first inner end to a second end outer, the conformation of the shaped insert in the space being adapted so that the insert substantially follows the hemispherical shape of the cup. The insert is shaped by thermoforming, and advantageously secured between the inner and outer textile layers of the cup by integral heat sealing during the same thermoforming operation. It is clear that this embodiment relates to bra made of rather robust and solid textile materials, but not in lightweight materials, especially textile materials with holes, as envisaged in the present invention.
Le document US2003/0232571 fait connaître un soutien-gorge composé de couches textiles contrecollées au sein desquelles on incorpore un film de renforcement en polyester collé à au moins une des couches textiles, et dont la forme est en croissant plus large vers l'extérieur du bonnet que vers l'intérieur. Le film a une forme plane par lui-même ; il n'est pas conformé dans une forme tridimensionnelle au repos. Là encore, un tel soutien-gorge est réalisé dans des matières textiles robustes et pleines, telles que des mélanges coton/élasthanne de type charmeuse mais pas dans des matières légères telles que des matières à trous.  Document US2003 / 0232571 discloses a bra composed of laminated textile layers in which is incorporated a polyester reinforcing film bonded to at least one of the textile layers, and whose shape is growing wider towards the outside of the hat only inward. The film has a flat shape by itself; it is not conformed in a three-dimensional form at rest. Again, such a bra is made of strong and solid textile materials, such as cotton / elastane charmeuse type but not in light materials such as materials with holes.
Le but de l'invention est de proposer un soutien-gorge qui permette de créer une forme avantageuse de la poitrine, et notamment un rapprochement des seins (« cleavage ») même quand des textiles très légers sont utilisés pour la réalisation des bonnets.  The object of the invention is to provide a bra that allows to create an advantageous form of the chest, including breasts ("cleavage") even when very light fabrics are used for the realization of the cups.
Le but de l'invention est atteint grâce à un soutien-gorge comprenant deux bonnets de forme sensiblement partiellement hémisphérique comportant chacun une couche de textile extérieure, une couche de textile intérieure, et dans sa partie inférieure un insert non plan au repos mais conformé dans l'espace et réalisé dans une feuille mince de matériau plastique rigide dans une direction coextensive et élastiquement flexible dans une direction transversale, l'insert ayant à plat sensiblement une forme d'arc circulaire dont la largeur augmente d'une première extrémité intérieure vers une seconde extrémité extérieure, la conformation de l'insert conformé dans l'espace étant adaptée pour que l'insert suive sensiblement la forme hémisphérique du bonnet, les deux bonnets étant reliés entre eux sur leur côté intérieur et étant reliés sur leur côté extérieur à des parties latérales formant un dos de soutien-gorge lorsqu'elles sont attachées l'une à l'autre grâce à un dispositif d'attache, le haut de chaque bonnet étant relié à une bretelle rattachée au dos de soutien-gorge, caractérisé en ce que l'insert est disposé entre deux couches de textile contrecollées, avec un dépassement marginal des deux couches de textile au moins sur son côté long convexe, l'insert étant solidarisé aux couches textiles extérieure et intérieure du soutien-gorge avec le dépassement marginal. The object of the invention is achieved thanks to a bra comprising two cups of substantially hemispherical shape each comprising an outer textile layer, an inner textile layer, and in its lower part a non-planar insert at rest but shaped in the space and made in a thin sheet of rigid plastic material in a coextensive direction and elastically flexible in a transverse direction, the insert having substantially a substantially circular circular arc whose width increases from a first inner end to a second outer end, the conformation of the insert shaped in the space being adapted so that the insert substantially follows the hemispherical shape of the cup, the two cups being interconnected on their inner side and being connected on their outer side to side portions forming a bra back when attached to each other thanks to a fastening device, the top of each cup being connected to a strap attached to the bra back, characterized in that the insert is disposed between two layers of textile laminated, with a marginal exceeding of the two layers of textile at least on its long convex side, the insert being secured to the outer and inner textile layers of the bra with the marginal overshoot.
Autrement dit, selon l'invention, chaque bonnet de soutien-gorge comporte dans sa partie inférieure un support flexible (avantageusement en polycarbonate ou semblable) en forme de croissant s'élargissant vers l'extérieur et thermoformé pour être galbé au repos, qui est solidarisé aux deux couches de dentelle ou de gaze constituant avantageusement le bonnet grâce à une enveloppe de tissu contrecollée au support flexible et dépassant marginalement pour permettre la couture avec les couches de dentelle ou de gaze le long du bord inférieur du croissant.  In other words, according to the invention, each bra cup has in its lower part a flexible support (preferably polycarbonate or similar) in the form of crescent widening outwardly and thermoformed to be curved at rest, which is secured to the two layers of lace or gauze advantageously constituting the cap with a fabric envelope laminated to the flexible support and protruding marginally to allow sewing with the layers of lace or gauze along the lower edge of the crescent.
À noter qu'on connaît par le document US2010/0015886 un mode de fixation de coussinet qui prévoit une enveloppe de coussinet à dépassement marginal solidarisé en patrie inférieure aux couches textiles extérieure et intérieure du soutien-gorge ; mais cette technique est utilisée dans le cadre d'une autre famille de soutien-gorge que celle de l'invention, à savoir les soutien-gorge à coussinets. Le fonctionnement de ces coussinets très souples apparaît pour l'homme du métier comme différent de celui de plaques relativement rigides de support utilisées selon l'invention ; le premier fait d'avantage appel à la notion de confort, le second fait d'avantage appel à la notion de soutien.  It should be noted that US2010 / 0015886 discloses a method of fixing a pad which provides a marginally overlapping pad casing secured in the lower homeland to the outer and inner textile layers of the brassiere; but this technique is used in the context of another family of bra than that of the invention, namely the padded bra. The operation of these very flexible pads appears to those skilled in the art as different from that of relatively rigid support plates used according to the invention; the former is more appealing to the concept of comfort, the second is more appealing to the notion of support.
Pour l'homme du métier, il n'était pas du tout évident ni même prévisible qu'on pouvait utiliser un dispositif de fixation semi-libre, analogue à celui décrit dans le document US2010/0015886, pour attacher la plaquette de support relativement rigide utilisée dans l'invention et plus semblable à celle du document GB 2 456 897. On aurait en effet pu craindre que la plaquette dans cet état de semi-liberté n'assure plus les fonctions de support qu'on attend d'elle, voire glisse contre le sein.  For those skilled in the art, it was not at all obvious or even predictable that a semi-free fixing device, similar to that described in US2010 / 0015886, could be used to attach the relatively rigid support plate. used in the invention and more similar to that of GB 2,456,897. It would indeed have been feared that the wafer in this state of semi-freedom no longer assures the support functions that are expected of it, even slide against the breast.
En cela, l'invention a dû vaincre un préjugé.  In this, the invention had to overcome a prejudice.
Selon l'invention, on prévoit un dépassement marginal d'une certaine importance pour permettre cette solidarisation, par exemple comprise entre 5 mm, ou de préférence 1cm, et plusieurs centimètres. La solidarisation se fait avantageusement par couture avec les deux couches de textile intérieure et extérieure du soutien-gorge. Cette solidarisation se fait le long d'un bord du bonnet, à sa partie inférieure. According to the invention, provision is made for a marginal overshoot of a certain importance to allow this joining, for example between 5 mm, or preferably 1 cm, and several centimeters. The solidarity is advantageously by sewing with the two inner and outer textile layers of the bra. This fastening is along an edge of the cap, at its lower part.
Dans le cas où Ton utilise une armature, métallique ou plastique ou composite, le long du bord inférieur du bonnet, celle-ci est disposée dans une ganse formant un fourreau le long dudit bord et les couches textiles intérieure et extérieure du bonnet et le dépassement marginal sont solidarisés au niveau de cette ganse.  In the case where an armature, metal or plastic or composite, is used along the lower edge of the cup, it is arranged in a loop forming a sheath along said edge and the inner and outer textile layers of the cup and the overtaking marginal are secured at the level of this gimp.
Dans une variante, l'armature est remplacée par un prolongement latéral de l'insert conformé avec un angle par rapport à la surface principale de la feuille constituant l'insert. Ce prolongement latéral peut être fixé dans une ganse comme une armature.  In a variant, the armature is replaced by a lateral extension of the insert shaped at an angle with respect to the main surface of the sheet constituting the insert. This lateral extension can be fixed in a loop like a frame.
Le dépassement marginal des couches de tissu couvrant l'insert peut servir sur le côté latéral extérieur du bonnet pour l'assemblage avec les parties de dos du soutien-gorge.  The marginal overshoot of the layers of fabric covering the insert can be used on the outer side of the cup for assembly with the back portions of the bra.
Par « matériau rigide dans une direction coextensive à la plaquette et élastiquement flexible dans une direction transversale », on entend un matériau tel que celui qui a été décrit dans le document FR 2924901 de la Demanderesse (document qui néanmoins concerne une réalisation très différente dans le cadre d'un soutien-gorge constitué d'un sandwich de couches textiles contrecollées). Il s'agit d'une feuille ou plaquette mince (c'est-à-dire inférieure à 2 mm et de préférence à 1,5 mm d'épaisseur sur l'essentiel de sa surface) de support qui, du fait de sa matière constitutive et de sa géométrie, est rigide et non déformable dans une direction tangente à sa surface, mais elle est déformable élastiquement, dans des proportions d'ailleurs modestes, dans une direction transversale. Autrement dit, il est possible de courber une partie de la plaquette et celle-ci tend à reprendre spontanément sa position non déformée.  By "rigid material in a direction coextensive with the wafer and elastically flexible in a transverse direction" means a material such as that described in FR 2924901 of the Applicant (document which nevertheless relates to a very different embodiment in the frame of a bra consisting of a sandwich of laminated textile layers). It is a thin sheet or wafer (that is to say less than 2 mm and preferably 1.5 mm thick over most of its surface) of support which, because of its constitutive material and its geometry, is rigid and non-deformable in a direction tangent to its surface, but it is elastically deformable, in proportions otherwise modest, in a transverse direction. In other words, it is possible to bend a portion of the wafer and it tends to spontaneously resume its undistorted position.
Un matériau particulièrement satisfaisant pour la réalisation de l'insert, tant du point de vue de sa rigidité élastique que de sa moulabilité, est le polycarbonate, de préférence dans une épaisseur de 0,4 à 1 ,2 mm, par exemple de 0,5 mm à 1 mm d'épaisseur, l'épaisseur pouvant être choisie plus grande pour les soutien-gorge de grande taille que pour les soutien- gorge de petite taille. De plus ce matériau est léger et se laisse travailler facilement (découpe). Parmi les autres matériaux aux propriétés semblables de rigidité/élasticité/thermomoulage, on peut citer le PET (polyéthylène- térephtalate), l'ABS (acrylonitrile butadiène styrène), le PVC (chlorure de polyvinyle), le polystyrène choc, certains polyéthylènes comme le polyéthylène haute densité, certains polyamides et certains polypropylènes, II peut aussi s'agir de matières composites soit à base de matrices en résines incorporant des fibres, soit des complexages alternant des couches de résine et des couches à base de non tissé ou de tissé de fibre de type bidirectionnel ou monodirectionnel. A particularly satisfactory material for producing the insert, both from the point of view of its elastic rigidity and its moldability, is polycarbonate, preferably in a thickness of 0.4 to 1.2 mm, for example 0, 5 mm to 1 mm thick, the thickness can be chosen larger for large bra than for small bra. In addition this material is light and can be easily worked (cutting). Other materials with similar properties of rigidity / elasticity / thermomolding, mention may be made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), impact polystyrene, certain polyethylenes such as high density polyethylene, certain polyamides and some polypropylenes, II may also be composites or based on matrices of resins incorporating fibers, or alternating laminating layers of resin and layers based on nonwoven or woven fiber type bidirectional or monodirectional.
Comme il a été dit, la feuille de l'insert est disposée entre deux couches de textile (par exemple un tissu) contrecollées, avec un dépassement marginal relativement important des deux couches de textile sur le côté convexe de l'insert et éventuellement un dépassement marginal relativement petit ailleurs. Les deux couches de textile peuvent avantageusement comprendre une couche mince de mousse contrecollée à une face du textile ; c'est cette couche de mousse qu'on contrecolle alors à la feuille d' insert.  As has been said, the sheet of the insert is placed between two layers of textile (for example a fabric) laminated, with a relatively large marginal overtaking of the two layers of textile on the convex side of the insert and possibly an overshoot marginal relatively small elsewhere. The two textile layers may advantageously comprise a thin layer of foam laminated to one side of the textile; it is this layer of foam that is then counteracted with the insert sheet.
L'insert est préformé avant d'être intégré au bonnet par une opération de thermoformage, de sorte qu'il a au repos, sans être porté, une forme arrondie dans l'espace. Une fois porté, il peut se déformer encore dans certaines directions compte tenu de sa relative souplesse élastique dans une direction orthogonale à la surface de la feuille de polymère dont il est fait.  The insert is preformed before being integrated into the cup by a thermoforming operation, so that it has at rest, without being worn, a rounded shape in space. Once worn, it can deform further in certain directions given its relative elastic flexibility in a direction orthogonal to the surface of the polymer sheet of which it is made.
L'insert reçoit avantageusement sa couverture de textile/mousse lors de cette opération de thermoformage.  The insert advantageously receives its textile / foam cover during this thermoforming operation.
Comme indiqué plus haut, les couches textiles du soutien-gorge sont avantageusement des textiles légers et/ou à trous, en particulier une dentelle pour la couche extérieure et une gaze pour la partie intérieure.  As indicated above, the textile layers of the brassiere are advantageously lightweight and / or perforated textiles, in particular a lace for the outer layer and a gauze for the inner part.

Le soutien gorge 1 de l'invention comprend deux bonnets 2 de forme fortement concave du côté interne tourné vers la peau (sensiblement et partiellement hémisphérique). Les bonnets 2 sont reliés entre eux par une courte partie d'entre-bonnet 3 qui est sensiblement dans la continuité de la bordure inférieure arquée convexe 4 renforcée de chaque bonnet 2. Le soutien-gorge représenté 1 n'a pas de partie de basque sous les bonnets 2. La bordure arquée 4 remonte latéralement de sorte que la partie latérale des bonnets 2 opposée à l'entre-bonnet 3 est directement reliée aux parties latérales ou bras 5 formant les parties planes de dos, qui sont terminées par des attaches 6 permettant de fermer le dos du soutien-gorge. Des bretelles 7 relient le haut des bonnets 2, du côté latéral extérieur, aux parties planes de dos 5.  The bra 1 of the invention comprises two cups 2 of strongly concave shape of the inner side facing the skin (substantially and partially hemispherical). The cups 2 are interconnected by a short portion of between-cup 3 which is substantially in the continuity of the convex arcuate lower edge 4 reinforced with each cup 2. The bra shown 1 has no part of Basque under the cups 2. The arcuate edge 4 rises laterally so that the side portion of the cups 2 opposite the inter-cup 3 is directly connected to the side portions or arm 5 forming the flat portions of the back, which are terminated by fasteners 6 to close the back of the bra. Straps 7 connect the top of the cups 2, the outer side, to the flat portions of back 5.
Chaque bonnet 2 est constitué (cf. aussi figure 3) d'une épaisseur de textile léger extérieure 8 et d'une épaisseur de textile léger intérieure 9, notamment de textile à trous tels qu'une dentelle légère et décorative pour la couche extérieure 8 et une gaze de confort pour la couche intérieure 9. Ces deux couches textiles 8, 9 sont attachées l'une à l'autre sur leur périphérie, par une couture 10 le long de la bordure inférieure 4 et par une couture 11 le long de la bordure supérieure 12 qui va de l'entre-bonnet 3 au départ de bretelle 7, ainsi que sur la petite bordure latérale extérieure 13 entre le départ de bretelle 7 et l'extrémité extérieure de la bordure 4. De préférence, les couches textiles 8, 9 ne sont pas liées ailleurs qu'en périphérie, ou éventuellement de manière ponctuelle et limitée. Au niveau de la bordure supérieure 12, la couture 11 peut aussi fixer un bord de dentelle 14 qui finit le bonnet 2 de manière décorative.  Each cup 2 is constituted (see also FIG. 3) of an outer light textile thickness 8 and of an inner light textile thickness 9, in particular of textile with holes such as a light and decorative lace for the outer layer 8 and a comfort gauze for the inner layer 9. These two textile layers 8, 9 are attached to each other on their periphery, by a seam 10 along the bottom edge 4 and by a seam 11 along the upper edge 12 which goes from the inner cup 3 at the beginning of strap 7, as well as on the small external lateral border 13 between the strap 7 and the outer end of the border 4. Preferably, the textile layers 8, 9 are not related elsewhere than periphery, or possibly in a specific and limited manner. At the upper edge 12, the seam 11 can also fix a lace edge 14 which ends the cup 2 in a decorative manner.
La bordure inférieure 4 est enfermée dans une ganse repliée pour former un fourreau. Des ganses semblables peuvent être prévues sur les bords bas 15 et hauts 16 des parties de dos 5, dont la partie centrale peut également être réalisée dans des textiles légers, et notamment la même dentelle que les bonnets 2. Ces ganses repliées permettent de finir les bords et de donner de la résistance à la traction à ces parties 5. Les petites bordures 13 peuvent aussi être finies de la même façon par une ganse repliée. The lower edge 4 is enclosed in a folded loop to form a sheath. Similar loops can be provided on the low and high edges 16 of the back portions 5, the central portion of which can also be made of lightweight fabrics, and in particular the same lace as the cups 2. These folded loops allow to finish the edges and give tensile strength to these parts 5. The small borders 13 can also be finished in the same way by a folded loop.
Selon l'invention, chaque bonnet 2 incorpore, sur son pourtour inférieur, le long de la bordure 4, un insert ou support 20 représenté en pointillés sur la figure 1. Cet insert 20 est une plaquette découpée dans une feuille de polycarbonate de 0,5 mm à 1 mm d'épaisseur, d'environ 15 à 20 cm de longueur, présentant une forme sensiblement d'arc circulaire ou de croissant allant d'une première extrémité arrondie 21 relativement étroite et jouxtant l'entre-bonnet 3, à une extrémité opposée 22 relativement large et disposée du côté des départs de dos 5 et de la bordure extérieure 13. La largeur de l' insert 20 croît faiblement ou même est constante depuis la première extrémité 11, où elle et par exemple de 1 à 2 cm, jusqu'à une zone intermédiaire située vers le dernier tiers de son extension, où la largeur s'élargit assez rapidement pour d'épanouir en patte au niveau de l'extrémité 22, par exemple de 3 à 6 cm de large. Cette patte large 22 est destinée à se trouver dans le bonnet 2 du soutien-gorge 1 du côté situé près de l'aisselle de l'utilisatrice, tandis que l'extrémité 21 est du côté de l'entre-bonnet 3.  According to the invention, each cup 2 incorporates, on its lower periphery, along the edge 4, an insert or support 20 shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1. This insert 20 is a wafer cut from a 0 polycarbonate sheet, 5 mm to 1 mm thick, approximately 15 to 20 cm in length, having a substantially circular arc or crescent shape extending from a relatively narrow first rounded end 21 and adjoining the inter-cup 3, to a relatively wide opposite end 22 disposed on the side of the backstops 5 and the outer edge 13. The width of the insert 20 increases slightly or even is constant from the first end 11, where it and for example from 1 to 2 cm, up to an intermediate zone located towards the last third of its extension, where the width widens fast enough to bloom in leg at the end 22, for example 3 to 6 cm wide. This wide tab 22 is intended to be in the cup 2 of the bra 1 on the side located near the armpit of the user, while the end 21 is on the side of the entre-cap 3.
La plaquette 20 découpée dans la feuille de polycarbonate est recouverte (cf. figure 3) sur ses deux faces d'une couche de tissu ou de tricot contrecollée 25 avantageusement associée à une couche de mousse élastomère contrecollée non représentée et située du côté de la plaquette 20. Les deux couches textiles 25 sont prévues avec dépassement d'une courte bordure marginale 26 (de quelques millimètres) où les deux épaisseurs de tissus/mousse sont collées l'une à l'autre directement, sur l'ensemble de la périphérie de la plaquette 20, à l'exception d'une zone de la périphérie prévue avec une bordure marginale plus importante 27, par exemple de plusieurs centimètres, destinée à la solidarisation de l' insert 20 au soutien- gorge. Cette zone correspond par exemple au bord convexe inférieur 28 de la plaquette 20.  The wafer 20 cut in the polycarbonate sheet is covered (see FIG. 3) on both sides with a laminated layer of fabric or knit 25 advantageously associated with a laminated elastomeric foam layer (not shown) located on the wafer side. 20. The two textile layers 25 are provided with the passing of a short marginal edge 26 (of a few millimeters) where the two thicknesses of fabrics / foam are glued to each other directly over the entire periphery of the fabric. the wafer 20, with the exception of an area of the periphery provided with a larger marginal edge 27, for example several centimeters, for securing the insert 20 to the brassiere. This zone corresponds for example to the lower convex edge 28 of the wafer 20.
La plaquette 20 est mise en forme dans un moule de thermoformage de façon à prendre la forme qu'elle aura dans le bonnet 2, à savoir une forme galbée qui pourra suivre sensiblement la forme du sein et la forme su bonnet 2. Cette forme est stable, à savoir qu'elle peut sous une légère contrainte se déformer pour prendre plus ou moins de courbure, mais le relâchement de la contrainte laisse le support 10 retrouver élastiquement sa forme d'équilibre. Cette étape de thermoformage de la plaquette est avantageusement utilisée pour solidariser les couches de textile/mousse 25 entre elles et avec la plaquette 20. The wafer 20 is shaped in a thermoforming mold so as to take the shape that it will have in the cup 2, namely a curved shape that can substantially follow the shape of the breast and the shape of the cup 2. This shape is stable, namely that it can under a slight constraint deform to take more or less curvature, but the relaxation of the stress leaves the support 10 elastically regain its form of balance. This step of thermoforming the wafer is advantageously used to secure the layers of textile / foam 25 between them and with the wafer 20.
Avantageusement, on donne aussi par un thermoformage léger indépendant une forme hémisphérique aux deux couches textiles 8, 9 des bonnets 2.  Advantageously, a light, independent thermoforming is also given a hemispherical shape to the two textile layers 8, 9 of the cups 2.
La bordure marginale plus importante 27 est utilisée pour solidariser la plaquette enrobée thermoformée 25-20-25 aux couches textiles du soutien-gorge, plus précisément à la bordure 4 dans le mode de réalisation représenté. Cette solidarisation est avantageusement réalisée par couture, et par exemple par la même couture 10 qui réunit déjà la ganse constituant la bordure 4 aux couches textiles intérieure 9 et extérieure 8 du bonnet 2. Ainsi, comme le montre bien la figure 3, la plaquette d'insert 20 n'est attachée aux couches textiles 8, 9 du bonnet 2 qu'au niveau de sa bordure convexe inférieure ; les couches textiles 8, 9 sont libres par rapport à la plaquette 20 pour le reste.  The larger marginal rim 27 is used to secure the blister pack 25-20-25 to the textile layers of the bra, more precisely to the rim 4 in the illustrated embodiment. This fastening is advantageously performed by sewing, and for example by the same seam 10 which already gathers the loop constituting the border 4 to the inner textile layers 9 and outer 8 of the cup 2. Thus, as shown in FIG. insert 20 is attached to the textile layers 8, 9 of the cup 2 only at its lower convex edge; the textile layers 8, 9 are free relative to the plate 20 for the rest.
Il reste à insérer une armature 30 sous forme d'arc métallique ou composite rigide élastique dans le fourreau formé par la ganse cousue au niveau de la bordure 4 pour achever la confection du soutien-gorge 1.  It remains to insert a reinforcement 30 in the form of a metal arc or rigid elastic composite in the sheath formed by the loop sewn at the edge 4 to complete the making of the bra 1.
Ce soutien-gorge 1 tout en conservant l'apparence générale de légèreté et de raffinement donnée par l'utilisation de textiles légers et notamment de dentelle, permet néanmoins d'agir sur les seins pour les soutenir grâce à l'insert 20 et les rapprocher de manière à former un « cleavage » satisfaisant.  This bra 1 while retaining the overall appearance of lightness and refinement given by the use of lightweight fabrics including lace, nevertheless allows to act on the breasts to support them with the insert 20 and bring them closer together. in order to form a satisfactory "cleavage".
On a représenté sur la figure 2 l'insert 20 nu (non revêtu de son enveloppe textile contrecollée) à côté de l'armature 30 près de laquelle il se trouve dans le soutien-gorge et à laquelle il est lié au travers de la partie de dépassement marginale 27 et de la ganse de bordure 4.  FIG. 2 shows the bare insert 20 (not lined with its laminated textile envelope) next to the armature 30 near which it is located in the brassiere and to which it is connected through the part marginal protrusion 27 and edge trim 4.
On a représenté sur les figures 4 et 5 une variante dans laquelle l'armature 30 n'est pas utilisée mais est remplacée par une conformation angulaire donnée à un prolongement/élargissement de l'insert 20' au-delà de la ligne convexe 28' correspondant au bord convexe 28 du premier mode de réalisation. Une partie d'élargissement convexe 29' prolonge en effet latéralement l'insert, et cette partie 29' est coudée par rapport à la surface principale de l'insert lors du thermoformage comme on le voit sur la figure 5. Comme dans le mode de réalisation précédent, on profite du thermoformage pour donner une forme globale bombée à l'insert 20', et pour le revêtir de couches de textile/mousse qui dépassent marginalement pour former une bordure étroite 26' et une bordure large 27' destinée à la solidarisation avec les éléments constitutifs du soutien-gorge. En particulier dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 4, une partie marginale 27' assez importante est prévue sur le côté extérieur de l'insert 20' pour servir au raccordement avec les parties de dos du soutien-gorge. There is shown in Figures 4 and 5 a variant in which the armature 30 is not used but is replaced by an angular conformation given to an extension / widening of the insert 20 'beyond the convex line 28' corresponding to the convex edge 28 of the first embodiment. A convex widening portion 29 'laterally extends the insert, and this portion 29' is bent with respect to the main surface of the insert during thermoforming as seen in FIG. 5. As in the previous embodiment, thermoforming is used to give a curved overall shape to the insert 20 ', and to coat it with layers of textile / foam that protrude marginally to form a narrow border 26' and a border wide 27 'for securing with the constituent elements of the bra. In particular in the example shown in Figure 4, a rather large marginal portion 27 'is provided on the outer side of the insert 20' to be used for connection with the back parts of the bra.
