FR2789271A1 - Ladies' undergarment such as tights or pants has two overlapping triangular panels adjustable during pregnancy - Google Patents

Abstract

The undergarment is made with the portion covering the wearer's abdomen made with two overlapping triangular panels (11e, 11i) that can be let out as the abdomen extends during pregnancy. The panels have tapes (15) along their upper edges that are tied at the waist in the most comfortable position, and are joined to the rest of the garment by seams (16) running beneath the abdomen.

Description

i 2789271 Garment with modular briefs The present invention relates

  a garment comprising a slip part, and in particular a sheathed and knitted undergarment such as an article of footwear such as tights, or even underpants, boxers, sheaths, bodysuits, etc. It is known to produce a pantyhose from two knitted tubes split at their upper part and assembled to form a panty. During this assembly operation, it is also known to add a ventral and / or dorsal yoke in the panties, or a laminated ventral panel, or else to provide a floating ventral and / or dorsal panel (cf. document FR 2 756 147 of the Applicant) or integrated into the texture of the panties, for example by knitting difference (cf. document FR 2 751 668 of the Applicant). Although the tights are made in several sizes and are elastic, they only imperfectly adapt to certain particular body shapes of people, whether these are transient (pregnant woman) or definitive body shapes (elderly people with a strong pelvis and to the

short legs).

  The object of the invention is to remedy this defect.

  The invention achieves its object by proposing a garment, in particular a knitted footwear, and very particularly a pantyhose, comprising a panty part which comprises two ventral panels capable of overlapping more or less on the belly of the user and there be tied in a position chosen by ties tied around the waist of the user. It more or less crosses the two ventral panels according to the morphology of its basin. This makes it possible to obtain briefs

  personalized, adapted from day to day for optimized comfort.

  In an embodiment specially adapted for pregnant women, the central area is designed so as to allow an evolutionary extension to dress the pregnant woman with as much ease until

end of her pregnancy.

  Preferably, the panels are triangular and are sewn to the rest of the brief part by seams located under the belly of the user, so as not to interfere. Advantageously, the panels are crossed one

2 2789271

  on the other at their lower part. Advantageously, each link is formed

  by extending a bias stitched along one side of each panel.

  The invention will be better understood and other advantages and

  characteristics will be highlighted on reading the description

  following of an embodiment of the invention applied to a knitted tights. Reference will be made to the appended drawings in which: - Figure 1 is a view grouping together the constituent elements of a sticker according to the invention, - Figure 2 is a view of the same elements after a first cutting operation, - the Figure 3 shows in front view the assembly of these elements to form a sticker, the panels not yet sewn, - Figure 4 shows the making of a panel with a knotting link, Figure 4A showing a detail enlarged and schematic of Figure 4, - Figure 5 shows in front view the pantyhose after assembly of the panels, - Figure 6 is a detail view of Figure 5 showing the crossing of the panels in the lower part, and - Figures 7 to 10 show in front and side view the different stages of positioning of the panels and knotting

signs on a user.

  We see in Figures 1 and 2 the basic components of the pantyhose of the invention, namely: - two knitting tubes 1 knitted on circular loom composed of a belt 2, a part of panties 3 and a leg part 4; the slip 3 and the belt 2 can be produced as known per se with a high elastane; the leg 4 can be made as known per se so as to exert a gradual pressure from the ankle to the thigh; the tubes 1 are split (FIG. 2) by a slot 10 going from the belt 2 to the bottom of the pants 3

  to allow their subsequent assembly.

  - a gusset 5 in particular in the form of a diamond, intended to give

  ease at the crotch.

3 2789271

  - two knitting tubes 6 composed of a belt 7 and a panty part 8; these tubes are cut to form the triangular panels 11 of FIG. 2, comprising a part of underpants

  triangular 12 surmounted by the belt 7.

  - very flexible bias 9 used for finishing the panels and

links to tie.

  FIG. 3 shows the first manufacturing operation, which consists in assembling the two tubes 1 by sewing with a seam 13 two corresponding edges of the slots 10 of the tubes 1, which identifies the rear part of the

  tights; at the same time, we just sew the gusset 5 at the crotch.

  Figures 4 and 4A show the second operation, which is to put the bias 9 astride along one side of each triangular panel 11, with a seam 14, while allowing to float beyond the part

  sewn part of the link 15 protruding from the belt 7.

  Figure 5 shows the last operation, which consists of making the two triangular panels by sewing them with a seam 16 on the open edges of the pantyhose pantyhose 3, keeping them slightly crossed at the base, above the gusset 5, as best shown in Figure 6, which

  defines an interior panel 1 li and an exterior panel 1 le.

  Figures 7 to 10 illustrate the procedure for fitting the tights: - the inner panel 1 li is folded over the belly to the size of the size that is desired and the panel is positioned on the belly according to its proper morphology, thanks to the flexibility of the knit and the bias 9 which finishes it (Figure 7; the double arrows symbolize the possibilities of elastic adjustment); we see that the seams 16 are located under the belly; - The outer panel 1 is folded over the inner panel 1 li and is positioned at the wish of the person according to its morphology (Figure 8);

  - The links 15 are tied around the waist (Figures 9 and 10).

  Consequently, according to the invention, the briefs are adjustable according to the volume and the shape of the pelvis to be wrapped and it makes it possible to dress a pregnant woman with the same ease as soon as a pantyhose of conventional design no longer satisfies her morphology until '' at the end of her pregnancy

4 2789271

  (we have shown in dashes in Figure 10 the evolution of the belly profile at

during pregnancy).

  The variable position of the panels from the belt to the lower abdomen provides ease and gives the possibility of adjusting your panties to the desired tension. The positioning and the shape of the added panels 11 can vary depending on the desired effect (prominent belly or large pelvis everywhere). The thicker the size, the more the overlap of the two panels is reduced. Consequently, the waist circumference increases. Better elongation is obtained for the same restoring force when worn. The size is

so not tight.

  Between the minimum and maximum crossing of the panels, the belt and panty extensions vary, in a particular embodiment, by 57%, which makes it possible to dress a woman with average measurements (waist measurement 72 cm; hip measurement 98 cm; size 2) and at the same time this same woman after nine months of pregnancy (example: lap of

  size 112 cm; hip circumference 137 cm; size 6).

  The knitting of the briefs preferably has a strong elongation (250 to 300%) in order to wrap flexibly and, without compressing it, the belly. It is the same for the bias (150 to 200%) in order to promote the proper implementation

underpants on the stomach.
