Description

L'invention concerne un bonnet de soutien-gorge léger pour procurer un effet amplificateur de poitrine dit « push-up ».The invention relates to a lightweight bra cap for providing a so-called "push-up" chest-boosting effect.

On connait de nombreux bonnets qui sont conçus pour réaliser un soutien-gorge à effet dit « push-up », qui permet d'augmenter visuellement la taille de la poitrine d'une taille ou plus.Many cups are known that are designed to make a so-called "push-up" bra, which can visually increase the size of the chest one size or more.

Le document FR-A-2972905 décrit et représente une structure de bonnet de soutien-gorge qui comporte une couche extérieure et une couche intérieure contrecollées renfermant entre elles une poche contenant un matériau malléable, en gel de silicone selon ce document.The document FR-A-2972905 describes and shows a bra cup structure which has an outer layer and an inner layer laminated between them containing a bag containing a malleable material, silicone gel according to this document.

La poche est constituée de deux films polymériques fins qui sont scellés l'un à l'autre de façon étanche pour emprisonner le gel de silicone.The pouch consists of two thin polymeric films that are tightly sealed to each other to trap the silicone gel.

Bien que ce type de bonnet remplisse son rôle d'effet amplificateur de la poitrine, la présence du matériau de remplissage de la poche présente notamment l'inconvénient d'apporter un poids supplémentaire au soutien-gorge qui peut nuire au confort. Un bonnet de soutien-gorge avec les caracteristiques du préambule de la revendication 1 est décrit dans le document US-6.142.852-A Although this type of cap fulfills its role of booster effect of the chest, the presence of the filling material of the pocket has the particular disadvantage of bringing extra weight to the bra that can affect comfort. A bra cap with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is described in the document US-6142852-A

L'invention vise notamment à palier ce problème en proposant un bonnet alléger permettant un effet dit « push-up ».The invention aims in particular to overcome this problem by proposing a lightening cup allowing a so-called "push-up" effect.

De plus, l'invention vise à proposer un bonnet de conception simplifiée qui ne nécessite pas de poche rapportée pour retenir un matériau de remplissage.In addition, the invention aims to provide a cup of simplified design that does not require an attached pocket to retain a filling material.

Dans ce but, l'invention propose un bonnet de soutien-gorge qui comporte une coque extérieure formant un creux de forme globalement hémisphérique et qui est délimité par un bord périphérique, caractérisé en ce que le bonnet comporte au moins une peau intérieure formant doublure qui est fixée sur le bord périphérique du bonnet et qui couvre en partie le creux formé par la coque extérieure, en délimitant un espace avec la coque extérieure, et en ce que la peau intérieure est adaptée pour être mise sous tension lorsque le bonnet est placé sur une poitrine.For this purpose, the invention provides a bra cup which has an outer shell forming a hollow generally hemispherical shape and which is delimited by a peripheral edge, characterized in that the cup has at least one inner skin forming a lining which is fixed on the peripheral edge of the cup and which partially covers the hollow formed by the outer shell, delimiting a space with the outer shell, and in that the inner skin is adapted to be energized when the cup is placed on a breast.

Une telle conception permet à la peau intérieure de pousser la poitrine vers le décolleté pour provoquer une effet amplificateur, sans ajouter de coussinet.Such a design allows the inner skin to push the chest to the neckline to cause an amplifier effect without adding a pad.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la peau intérieure couvre sensiblement une moitié latérale du bonnet.According to another feature, the inner skin substantially covers a lateral half of the cup.

Cette caractéristique permet de guider la potine vers la partie décolleté du bonnet.This feature allows to guide the potin to the neckline part of the cup.

De plus, la peau intérieure comporte un bord latéral qui s'étend en travers du bonnet depuis un tronçon supérieur du bord périphérique du bonnet, jusqu'à un tronçon inférieur du bord périphérique du bonnet, la peau intérieure étant agencée de façon à pousser la poitrine vers une partie décolletée du bonnet.In addition, the inner skin has a lateral edge that extends across the cup from an upper portion of the peripheral edge of the cup, to a lower portion of the peripheral edge of the cup, the inner skin being arranged to push the chest towards a low-cut part of the hat.

En outre, la peau intérieure est fixée sur le bord périphérique du bonnet au moyen d'une couture.In addition, the inner skin is attached to the peripheral edge of the cup by means of a seam.

Selon un autre aspect, la peau intérieure est réalisée en tissu extensible du type tulle.In another aspect, the inner skin is made of extensible fabric type tulle.

Ce type de matériau est respirant, confortable et extensible.This type of material is breathable, comfortable and stretchy.

De plus, la peau intérieure est apte à être étendue élastiquement selon une fourchette comprise entre cinquante pour cent et cent cinquante pour cent par rapport à un état initial de repos.In addition, the inner skin is resiliently extensible in a range of fifty percent to one hundred and fifty percent from an initial state of rest.

Selon un autre aspect, la coque extérieure est réalisée en mousse polyuréthane thermoformée.In another aspect, the outer shell is made of thermoformed polyurethane foam.

De plus, la coque extérieure présente une épaisseur comprise entre 8 et 15 millimètres avant thermoformage.In addition, the outer shell has a thickness between 8 and 15 millimeters before thermoforming.

Enfin, la coque extérieure présente une épaisseur comprise entre 3 et 6 millimètres après thermoformage.Finally, the outer shell has a thickness of between 3 and 6 millimeters after thermoforming.

L'invention concerne aussi un soutien-gorge comportant une paire de bonnets décrits précédemment.The invention also relates to a bra comprising a pair of cups described above.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit pour la compréhension de laquelle on se reportera aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue d'ensemble en perspective, qui illustre un soutien-gorge comportant un premier bonnet gauche et un second bonnet droit selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue de détail en perspective, qui illustre l'espace délimité entre la coque extérieure et la peau intérieure du premier bonnet gauche de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en section selon la ligne 3-3 de la figure 1, qui illustre le profil du premier bonnet gauche de la figure 1.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows for the understanding of which reference will be made to the appended drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is an overall perspective view, which illustrates a bra having a first left cup and a second right cup according to the invention;
  • the figure 2 is a detail view in perspective, which illustrates the space delimited between the outer shell and the inner skin of the first left cup of the figure 1 ;
  • the figure 3 is a sectional view along line 3-3 of the figure 1 , which illustrates the profile of the first left cup of the figure 1 .

Dans la description et les revendications, on utilisera à titre non limitatif les expressions « supérieur» et « inférieur» en référence à la partie supérieure et à la partie inférieure respectivement de la figure 1.In the description and the claims, the terms "upper" and "lower" will be used in a nonlimiting manner with reference to the upper part and the lower part respectively of the figure 1 .

De plus, pour clarifier la description et les revendications, on adoptera à titre non limitatif la terminologie longitudinal, vertical et transversal en référence au trièdre L, V, T indiqué aux figures 1 et 2.In addition, to clarify the description and the claims, the longitudinal, vertical and transverse terminology will be adopted in a nonlimiting manner with reference to the trihedron L, V, T indicated in FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 .

On a représenté à la figure 1 un soutien-gorge 10 qui comporte un premier bonnet 12 gauche et un second bonnet 14 droit qui sont alignés transversalement et qui sont reliés entre eux par une pièce centrale 16 de maintien.We have shown figure 1 a bra 10 which comprises a first cup 12 left and a second cup 14 right which are aligned transversely and which are interconnected by a central piece 16 for holding.

De plus, le soutien-gorge 10 est équipé d'une bande de fixation 18 dorsale qui est formée par une première partie 20 reliée sur le premier bonnet 12 et par une seconde partie 22 reliée sur le second bonnet 14.In addition, the bra 10 is equipped with a dorsal fastening strip 18 which is formed by a first part 20 connected to the first cap 12 and a second part 22 connected to the second cap 14.

La bande de fixation 18 est pourvue d'un moyen d'attache, qui comporte une agrafe 26 montée sur la première partie 20 de la bande de fixation 18 et une série de crans (non représentés) complémentaires montés sur la seconde partie 22 de la bande de fixation 18.The fastening strip 18 is provided with an attachment means, which comprises a clip 26 mounted on the first part 20 of the fastening strip 18 and a series of complementary notches (not shown) mounted on the second part 22 of the fastening strip 18.

Complémentairement, le soutien-gorge 10 comporte une paire de bretelles 28 permettant le port du soutien-gorge 10 sur les épaules de la personne qui le porte.Complementarily, the bra 10 comprises a pair of straps 28 allowing the wearing of the bra 10 on the shoulders of the person wearing it.

Chaque bonnet 12, 14 est délimité par un bord périphérique 32 qui comporte un tronçon supérieur 34 formant décolleté et un tronçon inférieur 36 logeant une armature rapportée, comme une armature métallique.Each cup 12, 14 is delimited by a peripheral edge 32 which comprises an upper section 34 forming a neckline and a lower section 36 housing a reported reinforcement, such as a metal frame.

De plus, chaque bonnet 12, 14 comporte une coque extérieure 38 formant un creux 40 de forme globalement hémisphérique, bombé vers l'avant selon une direction longitudinale, comme on peut le voir illustré schématiquement par les pointillés et la flèche de la figure 2.In addition, each cup 12, 14 comprises an outer shell 38 forming a hollow 40 of generally hemispherical shape, curved forwardly in a longitudinal direction, as can be seen schematically illustrated by the dotted lines and the arrow of the figure 2 .

Le premier bonnet 12 gauche et le second bonnet 14 droit étant similaires et agencés de façon symétrique pour former le soutien-gorge 10, seul le premier bonnet 12 gauche, appelé « bonnet » dans la suite de la description, sera décrit en détail.The first cup 12 left and the second cup 14 right being similar and arranged symmetrically to form the bra 10, only the first cup 12 left, called "cap" in the following description, will be described in detail.

Le bonnet 12 comporte une peau intérieure 42 formant doublure qui est fixée sur le bord périphérique 32 délimitant le bonnet 12, au moyen d'une couture par exemple.The cup 12 has an inner skin 42 forming a lining which is fixed on the peripheral edge 32 delimiting the cup 12, by means of a seam for example.

En référence aux figures 2 et 3, la peau intérieure 42 couvre en partie le creux 40 formé par la coque extérieure 38, en délimitant un espace vide avec la coque extérieure 38 qui est illustré par la flèche de la figure 2.With reference to Figures 2 and 3 , the inner skin 42 partially covers the hollow 40 formed by the outer shell 38, delimiting a gap with the outer shell 38 which is illustrated by the arrow of the figure 2 .

La peau intérieure 42 couvre sensiblement une moitié latérale du bonnet 12, qui est opposée à la partie décolletée du bonnet 12, de sorte que la peau intérieure 42 pousse la poitrine vers le décolleté, c'est-à-dire vers la partie centrale et vers le haut du soutien-gorge 10.The inner skin 42 substantially covers a lateral half of the cup 12, which is opposite to the low-cut portion of the cup 12, so that the inner skin 42 pushes the chest towards the cleavage, that is to say towards the central part and up the bra 10.

Plus particulièrement, la peau intérieure 34 comporte un bord latéral 44 qui s'étend en travers du bonnet 12 depuis le tronçon supérieur 34, jusqu'au tronçon inférieur 36 du bord périphérique 32 du bonnet 12.More particularly, the inner skin 34 has a lateral edge 44 which extends across the cup 12 from the upper section 34, to the lower section 36 of the peripheral edge 32 of the cup 12.

La peau intérieure 34, dans une position de repos dans laquelle le bonnet 12 n'est pas porté, est plus ou moins tendue selon l'effet amplificateur désiré.The inner skin 34, in a rest position in which the cup 12 is not worn, is more or less stretched according to the desired amplifier effect.

A l'inverse, la peau intérieure 34, dans une position active dans laquelle le bonnet est porté par une personne, est mise sous tension de façon à pousser la poitrine vers une partie décolletée du bonnet 12.In contrast, the inner skin 34, in an active position in which the cup is worn by a person, is tensioned so as to push the chest to a low-cut portion of the cup 12.

Dans ce but, la peau intérieure 34 est apte à être étendue élastiquement selon une fourchette comprise entre cinquante pour cent et cent cinquante pour cent par rapport à un état initial de repos, par exemple.For this purpose, the inner skin 34 is elastically extensible in a range of fifty percent to one hundred and fifty percent from an initial state of rest, for example.

Selon un autre aspect, la peau intérieure 34 est réalisée en tissu extensible du type tulle, par exemple en tissu connu sous la dénomination « powernet » qui désigne un tissu nerveux réalisé à partir de fibres en élasthanne et de fibres en nylon.In another aspect, the inner skin 34 is made of extensible fabric of the tulle type, for example fabric known under the name "powernet" which denotes a nerve tissue made from elastane fibers and nylon fibers.

De plus, la coque extérieure 38 est réalisée en mousse polyuréthane thermoformée.In addition, the outer shell 38 is made of thermoformed polyurethane foam.

La coque extérieure 38 est conçue pour ne peu ou pas se déformer lorsque le bonnet 12 est porté par une personne.The outer shell 38 is designed to have little or no deformity when the cup 12 is worn by a person.

Dans ce but, à titre indicatif, la coque extérieure 38 présente une épaisseur comprise entre 8 et 15 millimètres avant thermoformage, et une épaisseur comprise entre 3 et 6 millimètres après thermoformage.For this purpose, as an indication, the outer shell 38 has a thickness of between 8 and 15 millimeters before thermoforming, and a thickness of between 3 and 6 millimeters after thermoforming.

Selon une variante de réalisation non représentée, le bonnet 12 comporte une pluralité de peaux intérieures qui se recouvrent entre elles, en totalité ou en partie, de façon à jouer sur l'extensibilité et la résistance élastique de l'ensemble constitué par les peaux intérieures.According to an alternative embodiment not shown, the cup 12 comprises a plurality of inner skins which overlap each other, in whole or in part, so as to play on the extensibility and the elastic resistance of the assembly constituted by the inner skins .
