Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cup bra with improved support.
- 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 because of the great difference between the relative hardness of the frames and the relative softness of lightweight fabric cups; especially these frames are insufficient to print an advantageous shape to the chest, when they are used with light textiles.
- the document GB 2456897 is known in the field of traditional bra setting an insert to replace 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.
- 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, the 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.
- the 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 crescent wider towards the outside of the cup than towards the inside.
- the film has a flat shape by itself; it is not conformed in a three-dimensional form at rest.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- a flexible support preferably polycarbonate or similar
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- rigid material in a direction coextensive with the wafer and elastically flexible in a transverse direction is meant a material such as that described in the document FR 2924901 of the Applicant (document which nevertheless relates to a very different embodiment in the context 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.
- a particularly satisfactory material for producing the insert 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).
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- ABS acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- impact polystyrene certain polyethylenes such as high density polyethylene, certain polyamides and some polypropylenes. It can also be composite materials either based on resin matrices incorporating fibers, or alternating laminating layers of resin and layers based on nonwoven or woven fiber type bidirectional or monodirectional.
- 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.
- 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.
- the insert advantageously receives its textile / foam cover during this thermoforming operation.
- 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.
- 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.
- Each cup 2 is made up (see also figure 3 ) of an outer light textile thickness 8 and an inner light textile thickness 9, in particular of perforated textile 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 lower edge 4 and by a seam 11 along the upper edge 12 which goes from the bonnet 3 at the beginning of strap 7, as well as at the small external lateral border 13 between the departure of strap 7 and the outer end of curb 4.
- textile layers 8, 9 are not bound anywhere other than periphery, or possibly punctual and limited.
- the seam 11 can also fix a lace edge 14 which ends the cup 2 in a decorative manner.
- 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.
- each cup 2 incorporates, on its lower periphery, along the edge 4, an insert or support 20 shown in dotted lines on the figure 1 .
- This insert 20 is a wafer cut from a polycarbonate sheet 0.5 mm to 1 mm thick, about 15 to 20 cm long, having a substantially circular arc or crescent shape ranging from a first relatively rounded end 21 and adjoining the inter-cup 3, at a relatively wide opposite end 22 and disposed on the side of the back 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, to an intermediate zone located towards the last third of its extension, where the width widens fast enough to bloom in paw at the level of 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.
- the wafer 20 cut in the polycarbonate sheet is covered (cf. figure 3 ) on both sides of a laminated fabric or knit layer 25 advantageously associated with a laminated elastomeric foam layer not shown and located on the side of the wafer 20.
- the two textile layers 25 are provided with a short edge beyond marginal 26 (of a few millimeters) where the two thicknesses of fabrics / foam are glued to each other directly over the entire periphery of the wafer 20, with the exception of a zone of the periphery provided with a larger marginal border 27, for example several centimeters, for securing the insert 20 to the bra. This zone corresponds for example to the lower convex edge 28 of the wafer 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.
- a light, independent thermoforming is also given a hemispherical shape to the two textile layers 8, 9 of the cups 2.
- 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.
- the insert plate 20 is attached to the textile layers 8, 9 of the cup 2 at its lower convex edge; the textile layers 8, 9 are free relative to the plate 20 for the rest.
- 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".
- 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.
- a rather large marginal portion 27 ' is provided on the outer side of the insert 20' to be used for connection with the back portions of the bra.

Description
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 l'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 because of the great difference between the relative hardness of the frames and the relative softness of lightweight fabric cups; especially these frames are insufficient to print an advantageous shape to the chest, when they are used with light textiles.

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
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
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 l'on 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 a reinforcement, 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 marginal overtaking are solidarized 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
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. Il 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 of 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. It can also be composite materials either based on resin matrices 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

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
