Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a pad material, a material for a cup section, and a garment with cup sections.
- A garment with cup sections typified by a brassiere includes, for example, cup sections for covering a bust, a base part supporting a lower edge of each cup section, back parts stretching from the base part to a back side, and strap parts coupled to the cup sections. One of main performance of such a garment with cup sections is shapeability of the bust. For example, in a brassiere disclosed in
Patent Literature 1, each cup section includes a cup main body and a cover for covering a surface of the cup main body. Herein, thick cloth pieces are sewed together along seams in a longitudinal direction so as to form a cup shape, and an edge in a lower part of the cover is sewed to a lower edge of the cup main body. - On the other hand, there is a growing need for comfortability of the garment with cup sections. The present applicants have targeted on 500 consumers between the age of 16 to 64 and have researched on their frequently-used brassieres. The research shows that nearly 60% of the consumers answered that they emphasized comfortability. Not a few consumers answered that they emphasized items relating to comfortability such as fittability and pleasantness with respect to their bodies. The research shows that the consumers are tend to emphasize not only shapeability of the bust but also comfortability.
- Patent Literature 1:
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-220705 -
FIG. 10 is a graph illustrating a relationship between intensity of sense-of-wear and shapeability with regard to ready-made articles of a garment with cup sections. In the drawing, the intensity of sense-of-wear is taken along the abscissa and the shapeability (cup pressure) is taken along the ordinate. Herein, the relationship between the intensity of sense-of-wear and shapeability with regard to ready-made articles A to I are plotted. As illustrated inFIG. 10 , in the ready-made articles A to I, the intensity of the sense-of-wear and shapeability are substantially in proportion to each other. In other words, there is a tendency that a garment with cup sections having high shapeability has strong sense-of-wear and that a garment with cup sections having low shapeability has weak sense-of-wear. To achieve both shapeability of a bust and comfortability, it is necessary to develop a garment with cup sections belonging to an X area inFIG. 10 . - To achieve both the shapeability of the bust and the comfortability, the present applicants have analyzed clothing pressure with regard to the ready-made articles of the garment with cup sections in a process of intensive study. In this analysis on the clothing pressure, the applicants have measured the clothing pressure with respect to eight points of a bust of a dummy model as illustrated in
FIG. 11(a) . The eight points herein are a center of a verge's line (point A), lower parts of the bust (point B to point D), both sides of a central part of the bust (point E, point F), and upper parts of the bust (point G, point H). -
FIG. 11(b) is a graph illustrating analyzed results of the clothing pressure. As illustrated in the drawing, an average of the clothing pressure at the upper parts of the bust (point G, point H) was about 0.35 kPa, while an average of the clothing pressure at the lower parts of the bust (point B to point D) was about 1.3 kPa. According to the results, the clothing pressure applied to the lower parts of the bust from a lower cup section of the garment with cup sections is about four times as large as the clothing pressure applied to the upper parts of the bust from an upper cup section. Therefore, the present applicants have found that both the shapeability of the bust and the comfortability can be achieved if the clothing pressure applied to the lower parts of the bust from the lower cup section can be controlled and if a total amount of the clothing pressure applied to the bust can be reduced, thereby completing the present invention. - The present invention has been made to solve the aforementioned problem. An object of the present invention is to provide a pad material, a material for a garment with cup sections, and a garment with cup sections in which both the shapeability of the bust and the comfortability can be achieved.
- To solve the aforementioned problem, a pad material according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a urethane material which satisfies LC ≤ 1 and RC ≥ 80 where LC represents compression hardness and RC represents compression resilience.
- In this pad material, by using the urethane material satisfying the aforementioned compression characteristics, it is possible to secure both compressibility when applying compressive load and recoverability when releasing the compressive load. Accordingly, in a garment with cup sections in which a pad including the pad material is disposed at least in a lower cup section, the clothing pressure applied to lower parts of a bust from the lower cup section can be controlled and a total amount of the clothing pressure applied to the bust can be reduced. Furthermore, by securing the compressibility and recoverability of the pad, flexibility, lightweightness, and fluffiness of cup sections are enhanced and both shapeability of the bust and comfortability can be achieved.
- Furthermore, the pad material may satisfy WC ≥ 6 where WC represents compression workload. In such a case, it is possible to further improve the compressibility when applying the compressive load and to preferably control the clothing pressure applied to lower parts of the bust from the lower cup section.
- Furthermore, a material for a cup section according to an aspect of the present invention includes urethane which satisfies LC ≤ 1 and RC ≥ 80 where LC represents the compression hardness and RC represents the compression resilience.
- In this material for a cup section, by applying the urethane material satisfying the aforementioned compression characteristics, it is possible to secure both the compressibility when applying the compressive load and the recoverability when releasing compressive load.

- The characteristic values of the urethane material included in the
pad material 14 of the present embodiment satisfy the compression hardness LC ≤ 1 and the compression resilience RC ≥ 80. Furthermore, the characteristic values of the urethane material satisfy the compression workload WC ≥ 6. Each characteristic value of the urethane material can be measured, for example, by an automatic compression tester (KESFB3-AUTO-A) manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd. Air permeability of the urethane material included in thepad material 14 is preferably 250 cm3/cm2· sec or more when measured by a method A based on JIS L-1096 (Fraziere method). Furthermore, water absorbency of the urethane material included in thepad material 14 is preferably five seconds or less when measured by a dropping method based on JIS L1907. - The urethane material included in the
pad material 14 of the present embodiment can be obtained, for example, by reacting and curing polyol and isocyanate (non-yellowing isocyanate). The urethane material applied herein has density (foam specific gravity) of 35 kg/m3 and 45 kg/m3. - Hereinafter, effectiveness of the
pad material 14 will be described. -
FIG. 5 is a table illustrating an example of characteristic values of pad materials according to Examples and Comparative Examples. As illustrated in the table, a material applied in each of Examples 1 to 3 is a urethane material satisfying LC ≤ 1, RC ≥ 80, and WC ≤ 6. Example 3 applies a material in which the urethane material is laminated with, for example, a cloth including knit and fabric such as gray sheeting, circular rib fabric, and tricot fabric. - The characteristic values of Example 1 are LC = 0.618, WC = 6.045 (gf/cm2), RC = 87.77 (%), T0= 4.853 (mm), and TM = 0.941 (mm). The characteristic values of Example 2 are LC = 0.695, WC = 11.850 (gf/cm2), RC = 89.97 (%), T0 = 8.230 (mm), and TM = 1.409 (mm). The characteristic values of Example 3 are LC = 0.844, WC = 13.738 (gf/cm2), RC = 83.54 (%), T0 = 8.450 (mm), and TM = 1.943 (mm).
- A material applied in each of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is a conventional material satisfying LC > 1, RC < 80, and WC > 6. Comparative Example 1 applies a urethane material. Comparative Example 2 applies a material in which a non-woven fabric is laminated with, for example, a cloth including knit and fabric such as gray sheeting, circular rib fabric, and tricot fabric. The characteristic values of Comparative Example 1 are LC = 1.820, WC = 8.719 (gf/cm2), RC = 49.24 (%), T0 = 5.352 (mm), and TM = 3.434 (mm). The characteristic values of Comparative Example 2 are LC = 1.054, WC = 1.775 (gf/cm2), RC = 77.02 (%), T0 = 5.182 (mm), and TM = 4.508 (mm).

FIG. 6 is a graph schematically illustrating differences of the compression characteristics between the pad materials according to Examples and the pad materials according to Comparative Examples. In an example illustrated in the graph, the compression characteristics of Comparative Example 1 is represented by X1, and the compression characteristics of Comparative Example 2 is represented by X2. The compression characteristics according to Examples 1 to 3 are represented by Y - Analyzing these compression characteristics, with regard to the conventional urethane material applied in the Comparative Example 1, it is clear that the overall compressibility is relatively high, but the compressibility with respect to the beginning of the compression and the recoverability after the compression are inclined to be low. Furthermore, with regard to the non-woven fabric applied in Comparative Example 2, the compressibility with respect to the beginning of the compression and the recoverability after the compression is higher than those in Comparative Example 1, but the overall compressibility is inclined to be low. On the other hand, in the urethane materials applied in Examples 1 to 3, the compressibility with respect to the beginning of the compression is sufficiently higher than that in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the overall compressibility is similar to or more than that in Comparative Example 1, and the recoverability after the compression is similar to or more than that in Comparative Example 2.
- As described above, by applying the urethane material satisfying LC ≤ 1 and RC ≥ 80, it is possible to secure in the
pad material 14 both the compressibility when applying the compressive load and the recoverability when releasing the compressive load. Accordingly, with regard to the garment withcup sections 1 in which thepad 11 including thepad material 14 is disposed at least in the lower cup section, it is possible to control the clothing pressure applied to the lower parts of the bust from the lower cup section and the total amount of the clothing pressure applied to the bust can be reduced efficiently. Furthermore, by securing the compressibility and recoverability of thepad 11, flexibility, lightweightness, and fluffiness of thecup sections 2 are enhanced and both the shapeability of the bust and comfortability can be achieved. Thepad material 14 applies the urethane material further satisfying WC ≥ 6. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the compressibility when applying the compressive load and to preferably reduce the clothing pressure applied to the lower parts of the bust from the lower cup section. -
FIG. 7 is a graph illustrating analyzed results of the clothing pressure of the cup section to which the material for a cup section is applied. The analyzed results illustrated in the graph is obtained by measuring the clothing pressure applied to the bust from the lower cup section with respect to samples A, B, C, and D. In the sample A, the whole cup section is formed of a non-woven fabric. In the sample B, the upper cup section is formed of a material similar to that of thepad material 14 and the lower cup section is formed of a non-woven fabric. In the sample C, the upper cup section is formed of a non-woven fabric and the lower cup section is formed of a material similar to that of thepad material 14. In the sample D, the whole cup section is formed of a material similar to that of thepad material 14. - As a result of the clothing pressure measurement, as illustrated in
FIG. 7 , the clothing pressure applied to the bust from the lower cup section (a sum of the clothing pressure at points B, C, and D inFIG. 11(a) ) was 5.5 kPa or more in the samples A and B. On the other hand, the clothing pressure applied to the bust from the lower cup section (a sum of the clothing pressure at points B, C, and D inFIG. 11(a) ) was 3.0 kPa or less in the samples C and D. Accordingly, it is concluded that the clothing pressure applied to the lower parts of the bust from the lower cup section can be reduced to about half and the total amount of the clothing pressure applied to the bust can be reduced by applying the material for a cup section according to an aspect of the present invention at least to the lower cup section. - Furthermore,
FIG. 8 is a graph illustrating results of a monitor test with regard to the cup section in which the material for a cup section is applied. In the monitor test illustrated in the graph, a plurality of monitors evaluated subjective comfortability of the garment with cup sections with respect to each of the samples A to D illustrated inFIG. 7 . Three evaluation items were prepared as the comfortability, that is, flexibility, lightweightness, and flufliness. Each item was evaluated on 5-point scale (+2, +1, 0, -1, -2) and an average value of each monitor's answer was referred to as a subjective value. The larger the subjective value (the more the subjective value approaches + side), the more the wearer feels the garment flexible, lightweight, and fluffy. The smaller the subjective value (the more the subjective value approaches - side), the more the wearer feels the garment stiff, heavyweight, and harsh. - As a result, in the samples A and B, the subjective values regarding all the three items were found to be negative, and in the samples C and D, the subjective values regarding all the three items were found to be positive. In other words, it was admitted that there is a significant difference in the evaluation of the comfortability between the samples A, B in which the material for a cup section according to an aspect of the present invention is not applied in the lower cup section and the samples C, D in which the material for a cup section according to an aspect of the present invention is applied at least to the lower cup section.
- The present invention should not be restricted to the aforementioned embodiment. For example, the embodiment has illustrated that the
pad 11 is formed by using thepad material 14 and that thecup section 2 includes thepad 11 applicable to thepocket 12 of thecup section 2. However, as illustrated inFIG. 9 , acup section 2 may include a skin-side cloth with apad 22 provided with a material for acup section 24 having compression characteristics similar to those of thepad material 14. - In this embodiment, the skin-side cloth with a
pad 22 includes alower edge 22a,upper edge 22b, andside edge 22c. Thelower edge 22a is provided along atop side 3a of abase part 3. Theupper edge 22b, stretching along a part lower than theupper edge 2a of thecup section 2, is stretching from an end in a front-center A side of thelower edge 22a toward aside edge 2b. Theside edge 22c is provided along theside edge 2b of thecup section 2. The skin-side cloth with apad 22 includes the material for acup section 24 formed in a shape substantially similar to thepad 11 illustrated inFIG. 3 . The skin-side cloth with apad 22 is disposed in the skin side of thecup section 2 so that the material for acup section 24 is placed in the lower cup section. Thelower edge 22a is sewed to thetop side 3a. Theupper edge 22b is sewed to the part lower than theupper edge 2a in thecup section 2. Theside edge 22c is sewed to theside edge 2b of thecup section 2. - In such an embodiment, as similar to the aforementioned embodiment, clothing pressure applied to lower parts of a bust from the lower cup section can be controlled and a total amount of the clothing pressure applied to the bust can be reduced. Furthermore, flexibility, lightweightness, and fluffiness of the
cup sections 2 are enhanced and both shapeability of the bust and comfortability can be achieved. - Furthermore, in the aforementioned embodiment, for example, a brassiere has been illustrated as the garment with cup sections. However, in addition to the brassiere, examples of the garment with cup sections to which the present invention is applicable include foundation garments such as bra-slips, bra camisoles, body suits and also include swimming suits and leotards. Furthermore, the features of the present invention are applicable to all types of brassieres such as full cup brassieres, 3/4 cup brassieres, and 1/2 cup brassieres. With regard to the sewing of the cup section, various embodiments are applicable such as sewing one dart or two darts, patching two pieces or three pieces, gathering, and not sewing (formed cup).
