Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of textile articles and more particularly that of bras.
  • a bra conventionally comprises two cups for housing the breasts of a user, interconnected by an intermediate portion.
  • a back is attached to a side edge of a respective cap and includes fastening means to the other back so that the bra is held in place on the user.
  • a support strap joins the upper edge of a respective cup on the back extending from the side edge of this cup.
  • bras of this type provided with cups each having a flexible shell shaped so as to have a substantially hemispherical concave shape for wrapping the wearer's breasts.
  • the user's breasts may have a substantially different morphology, so that no bra is in fact perfectly adapted to the morphology of the two breasts.
  • the morphology or volume of a wearer's chest can vary significantly over time. The bra may then prove temporarily uncomfortable for its user.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a bra free from the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a bra that can adapt perfectly to the morphology of the chest and which can also ensure good chest support without exerting excessive pressure on it.
  • the invention thus relates to a bra comprising two cups connected together for housing the breasts of a user and connected by their respective lateral edge to a back portion and their respective upper edge to a strap joining the part of corresponding back, characterized in that each cup is made of a piece of extensible textile material in the form of a substantially flat sheet when the bra is not worn, a major part of the surface of the sheet being cut along a plurality of notches of limited length disposed around an inner portion of the sheet, so as to form a deformable structure reversibly adapted to be deployed forward in a direction substantially transverse to the plane of the sheet under the effect of the weight of the breasts when the bra is worn, providing a volume of said sheet shaped to the shape of the breasts and clean to maintain the breasts.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the setting in volume of a flat bonnet in the unworn state of the brassiere, which is able to deform under the effect of the weight of the breasts essentially in a single direction towards the front of the breast by the presence of appropriate cuts made in the sheet of textile material constituting the cup.
  • the invention diverts a technique of cutting and volume making paper, known as "Kirigami", to adapt surprisingly and particularly advantageous to the textile field and in particular to that of bras .
  • the bra which are in a substantially flat shape when the bra is not worn, "open” under the effect of breast weight when the bra is worn in a single, privileged direction pointing to the front of the breast by wrapping the breasts, so that the bra applies more harmoniously and comfortably to the bust of the user with a perfect fit to the breast morphology of the user, which allows to offer support without excessive stress to the chest.
  • the breast holding structure and openwork allows to maintain high breathability of the skin, which further increases the wearing comfort.
  • the latter is made very small, especially with respect to bras with cups molded to typically having a substantially concave and partially hemispherical concave shape.
  • the openwork structure of the cups once deployed in the worn state of the bra provides a remarkable aesthetic effect, which can vary depending on the shape and shape. selected orientation of the cuts.
  • the cuts are arranged periodically in the sheet plane.
  • at least a portion of the notches may be arranged in a network of curved lines, consisting of two symmetrical sets of lines respectively extending on each side of a longitudinal axis of a respective cup.
  • the sheet may comprise a succession of notches arranged in a plurality of concentric circular lines extending at least in the lower part of a respective cup.
  • the sheet comprises notches extending substantially vertically at least near the upper edge of a respective cup.
  • the cuts are of rectilinear or substantially curvilinear shape.
  • the notches have a maximum length of between 10 and 20 millimeters.
  • the notches are spaced at least 1 millimeter between them, preferably from 1 to 5 millimeters.
  • the sheet may have additional cuts made in an ornamental pattern and advantageously arranged in the upper part of a respective cup and / or in the inner part.
  • the piece of textile material is made of polyamide and elastane monolayer or multilayer knit fabric, advantageously having an elongation at 15 Newtons of between 10% and 80%, at least in one direction and at high nervousness.
  • the knit has a weight of between 250 and 400 g. m 2 .
  • each cup is lined with a thin knitted elastic lining attached peripherally to the cup.
  • the lining is made in a light mesh of the order of 60 g. m 2 , having an elongation at 15 Newtons of at least 130% in length and / or width, and at least 240% in at least one direction.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view illustrating an example of bra in accordance with the invention in the unworn state
  • FIG. 5 shows an example of bra according to the invention in the worn state.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an example of bra 1 according to the invention.
  • This bra has two cups 2 for housing the breasts of a user and are interconnected by their inner side by an intermediate central portion 3.
  • Each cup 2 is in the form of a sheet 21 of textile material substantially flat when the bra is not worn.
  • Each cup 2 may also be advantageously fixed in its lower part to a rigid frame 24, it being understood that the invention can also be applied to bras without armatures, said "soft", or even brassiere type.
  • the armature 24 extends along a lower edge to a side edge 25 of a respective cup.
  • a back portion 4 is attached to the side edge 25 of a respective cup 2, and has attachment means (not shown) to the other back portion.
  • a strap 5 joins the upper edge 26 of a cup 2 to the corresponding back part 4.
  • each sheet 21 of textile material which may be a monolayer or multilayer sheet (complex of several materials assembled by heat sealing for example), comprises, in the plane of the sheet, a major part of its surface, a plurality of notches 22, or slits, substantially linear, traversing the entire thickness of the sheet 21 and arranged all around an inner portion 23 of the sheet 21 free of cuts, preferably of disc shape (circular surface ) or ellipsoidal (oval surface).
  • the nick-free inner portion 22 preferably constitutes a substantially central portion of the bonnet sheet, which may advantageously be off-center to the inner side of the cup (towards the central part of the bra), so as to obtain an effective effect.
  • the area occupied by the notch-free inner portion 23 depends on the selected dimension of the notches 22. Thus, the smaller the notches, the larger the area occupied by the inner portion 23.
  • the notches 22, thanks to their shape, size and appropriate orientation in the plane of the sheet, are intended to allow an extension of the sheet 21 in a direction substantially transverse to the plane of the sheet, or in a direction pointing forwards. of the breast, maintaining a certain stiffness of the leaf in transverse directions to the chest, under the effect of the weight of the breasts when the bra is worn.
  • the sheet 21 thus perforated by the notches 22 is a deformable retaining structure reversibly adapted to be deployed forward to ensure a volume substantially hemispherical volume of a respective cup of the bra in the direction pointing to the front of the chest under the effect of the weight of the breasts when the bra is worn, and clean able to be folded to find a substantially flat configuration when the bra is not worn.
  • the shape of the sheet depends on the shape and the size of the bra for which it is intended, but it is preferably of elongated substantially elliptical shape and more particularly in the form of a tear, with a major axis extending between the edge upper cup and the lower edge of a respective cap, for example between 100 mm and 160 mm, and a small axis extending between the side edges of a respective cap, for example between 50 mm and 130 mm.
  • the notches 22 preferably have a maximum length of between about 10 mm and 20 mm, preferably about 15 mm, and are periodically arranged in the plane of the sheet 21, preferably following a network of lines extending all around the inner portion 23 of the sheet 21.
  • the notches 22 are spaced apart in all directions from the plane of the sheet by at least 1 millimeter, preferably from 1 mm to 5 mm, advantageously 3 mm.
  • the textile material of the sheet also strongly influences the opening and the volume of the latter under the effect of the weight of the breasts when the bra is worn.
  • the sheet 21 of textile material is made of monolayer knit or multilayer (several knits thermally bonded complex for example), based on polyamide and elastane (preferably about 40% by weight of elastane relative to the total weight of the knit). It advantageously has an elongation at 15 Newtons of between 10% and 80%, at least in one direction.
  • the specific weight of the knit is advantageously between 250 and 400 g / m 2 .
  • the material perfectly accompanies the morphology of the breasts and promotes the return of the sheet 21 in a substantially flat configuration when the bra is not worn.
  • most of the notches 22 are disposed in the plane of the sheet 21 in a network of curved lines, preferably equidistant and parallel to one another, consisting of two sets symmetrical lines extending respectively on each side of a longitudinal axis X passing through the substantially central inner portion 23 of the sheet 21.
  • the plurality of successive indentations 22 arranged in line advantageously form a plurality of concentric circular lines extending from the edges of the cup 2, approaching the substantially central inner portion 23 of the sheet 21.
  • the sheet 21 advantageously comprises vertical notches 22 in the upper part of a respective cap 2, at least near the upper edge 26 of the cup and which can be aligned vertically in the form of several vertical lines extending from the inner part. 23 substantially central to the upper edge 26 of the cap.
  • This vertical arrangement of notches in the upper part of a respective cup 2 is preferable to allow the cup to remain substantially flat in this upper part after extension when the bra is worn.
  • This particular embodiment of the cups is illustrated in the worn state of the bra 1, with reference to FIG. 5.
  • the notches 22 open under the effect of the weight of the breasts, allowing the sheet 21 to expand forward in a direction substantially transverse to the plane of the sheet 21, marrying the shape of the breasts and the textile material between the notches 22 thus opened extends to form a cross-line network 220 constituted by the material between the notches 22, suitable for maintaining the breasts, extending from the edges of the cup towards the central zone 23 projected forward under the effect of the weight of the breasts.
  • the notches 22 are two sets of oblique lines arranged in separate directions and symmetrical in the plane of the sheet 21 relative to the axis X, s extending radially from the substantially central inner portion 23 towards the edges of a respective cap 2. It turns out that this arrangement of the notches 22 in the upper middle part of the sheet 21 makes it possible to provide a deformation configuration of the cups 2 particularly adapted for the sides of the bra, that is to say on the side edge of the cups, while the arrangement of the notches 22 in the upper middle part of the sheet 21 as described with reference to FIG. 2 is in turn particularly suitable for the center of the bra, that is to say on the inside of the cups.
  • Figure 4 illustrates a combination of the two previous embodiments, with respect to the arrangement of the notches 22 in the upper middle part of the sheet 21, which takes again that of Figure 3 on the side of the side edge 25 of a respective cap 2 and that of Figure 2 on the inside of the cup 2.
  • the vertical notches in the upper part of a respective cap 2, as explained with reference to Figure 2.
  • the shape of the notches is preferably substantially curvilinear, with regard to notches arranged along the curved lines, and rectilinear with respect to the vertical notches or those arranged along the oblique lines.
  • additional cuts made in an ornamental pattern may advantageously be arranged in the upper part of the cup and / or in the substantially central inner part 23, insofar as, thus arranged, such cutouts do not open much. when the bra is worn.
  • each cup 2 can be doubled with a thin knitted elastic lining (not shown), provided to preferentially apply over the entire outer face of a respective cup 2, preferably being attached peripherally to the face 2.
  • the cup can be doubled with the thin elastic lining on the side of its inner face.
  • such a lining can be made of simple material, preferably in a light mesh of the order of 60 g. m 2 , and has an elongation at 15 Newtons of at least 130% (between 180% and 360% and above) in length and / or width, and at least 240% in at least one of the two meaning. It also has a great nervousness allowing it advantageously not to "poach" after extension.
