Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention provides a breast support that can be firmly supported even during intense exercise. In addition, the use of carving rubber as a constituent member prevents displacement during exercise and allows straps to be used naturally. A sports bra that fits your body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various sports bras have been introduced. For example, JP-A-9-296
No. 308 discloses that a chest covering portion, a back covering portion, and a shoulder belt connecting them are continuously and integrally formed of a material having excellent elasticity, and the breast covering portion has an underline of both breasts. Discloses a bra with a wire attached along it.

[0003] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-74106 discloses that
On the inner surface of the cup portion of the bra, a substantially triangular or approximately crescent-shaped stretch body is attached obliquely so as to cover the entire outer side from the lower side thereof, and then the lower side of the cup portion is closer to the inside of the stretch body. 10m so as to draw an arc from the part toward the outer part along the bulge of the cup part
Disclosed is a bra attached to a stretch body by four-point staggered stitching, in which a narrow stretch band of about m width is hanged and the narrow stretch band is sewn and threads are alternately sewn in a zigzag shape in an oblique direction. ing.

Further, Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3042861 discloses that a portion corresponding to a body shape is formed into a three-dimensional knitted portion by warp knitting so that a portion for correcting the body shape can be covered by an extremely elastic fiber. , The entire circumference of the three-dimensional knit,
Alternatively, there is disclosed a body shape correcting undergarment in which at least a lower half circumference is configured as a closed knitted portion of rubber knitting, and further, a flat knitted portion is formed outside these portions.

[0005]

The use of such a conventional brassiere in sports has the following disadvantages. That is, in the brassiere disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-296308, a breast covering portion is formed by using a stretchable fabric by sewing a plurality of planar parts in a curved manner. However, there has been a problem that the supporting capacity of the breast is insufficient, particularly at the breast covering or part where the weight of the breast is heavy. For this reason, we are trying to reinforce by attaching metal wires etc. along the underline of the breast, but the wire attachment part gives an uncomfortable feeling, especially during intense exercise, feeling pain by rubbing on the skin, However, such movements as rotation of the body and bending of the body are hindered.

In the brassiere disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H08-74106, a plurality of stretch bodies which extend only in the length direction without extending in the width direction are provided on the outside from the lower part of the cup part. It has a structure in which the narrow stretch body is sewn alternately in a zigzag manner in the diagonal direction, so as to draw an arc along the bulge of the cup part toward the part. Strength has increased and support for the lower breast has been improved.

[0007] However, the brassiere used in sports must be supported so as to suppress the swaying of the breast not only in the upward direction from the outside but also in all directions. If it is large, on the contrary, the user may feel uncomfortable, and it is preferable to use one that exerts a substantially uniform supporting force in all directions. Also,
Since a plurality of stretched bodies need to be stitched together, a large number of suture lines appear on the cup portion, and the skin comes into contact with the suture lines, resulting in a feeling of discomfort or a reduced feeling of wearing.

[0008] Further, Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3042861 discloses that a three-dimensional knitted portion is formed by warp knitting with a fiber having extremely high elasticity so as to cover a portion for correcting the body shape. The surroundings were constituted by a closed knitted part of rubber knitting, and effects such as alleviating breathlessness without giving an uncomfortable feeling were exhibited. However, the rubber knitted portions and rib knitted portions used in such brassieres can have different elasticity for each part, but have only uniform elasticity in one direction. Therefore, when an undergarment or the like is formed by using these elastic members, it is difficult to tighten the line with the uneven body with a uniform pressure.

Therefore, the present invention effectively suppresses the swaying of the breast that occurs in all directions during sports without giving a feeling of discomfort and pain due to a metal wire or the like, and particularly in accordance with the ups and downs of the body that changes during exercise. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sports bra that can be tightened with a uniform pressure.

[0010]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and effectively suppresses the swaying of the breast which occurs in all directions without giving a feeling of discomfort and pain when worn and exercised. In accordance with the invention, a sports bra capable of being tightened with a uniform pressure has been invented.

That is, the sports bra according to the present invention comprises:
A sports bra using curving rubber in which a plurality of elastic cords that gradually decrease in elasticity from the inner edge toward the outer edge are formed in a single arc band shape, and an under belt,
The side belt and the strap are formed of carving rubber, and the upper edge of the under belt, the outer edge of the side belt and the outer edge of the strap are provided with the outer edge of the carving rubber to form a three-dimensional cup frame, and the cup frame has elasticity. Is sewn to a cup body made of a cloth having

By arranging the outer edge of the carving rubber on the upper edge of the underbelt, the underbelt can be naturally fitted to the shape of the body portion, and the body portion swells during exercise. However, even if the tightening pressure is not biased, the tightening can always be performed with a uniform pressure.

[0013] Further, by arranging an outer edge of carving rubber on the upper edge of the under belt, the outer edge of the side belt and the outer edge of the strap to form a three-dimensional cup frame, the breast is naturally inward from the outer edge to the inner side. In addition to being able to create a three-dimensional shape, even if the breast shakes and moves during exercise, it can be supported with a constant supporting force from each direction.

Further, since the carving rubber is used for the strap, not only is pressure applied to the shoulder uniformly at rest, but also, for example, even if the angle of the shoulder line changes when the arm is swung up. The cup body can always be lifted with a constant pressure without biasing the inner edge or the outer edge of the strap.

In the sports bra according to the present invention, a back cloth made of elastic cloth is provided in a region surrounded by a back portion of the under belt of the sports bra, a lower portion of the side belt, and a lower back portion of the left and right straps. It is also possible to sew as if pasting. In this manner, by stretching the back cloth, the skin in the area does not protrude onto the side belt or the under belt, and the feeling of wearing can be improved.

[0016] Further, it is also possible to arrange a reinforcing piece having a higher elastic strength than the body of the cup body from the lower part to the outer part of the cup body of the sports bra. By arranging the reinforcing pieces in this manner, the supporting force for supporting the breast from below can be improved, which is particularly suitable for a player with a large breast.

[0017]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of a sports bra according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the sports bra according to the present invention has an underbelt, a side belt, and a strap among its constituent members formed by a carving belt. Carving rubber is formed by knitting a plurality of rubber cords into a single belt-shaped rubber. When knitting, each knitting cord is subjected to a gradually decreasing tension from the inner cord to the outer cord. It is the one that is knitted in the state. As shown in FIG. 4, the carving rubber thus knitted has an arc shape in which the radius of curvature of the inner edge is smaller than that of the outer edge in a state where tension is not applied on a plane.

By using carving rubber for the sports bra according to the present invention, it is possible to create a natural three-dimensional shape along the body line. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when forming a substantially frustoconical tubular underbelt using the conventional flat rubber A and the carving rubber B according to the present invention, the conventional flat rubber A has a predetermined angle at both ends. And must be formed by suturing both ends. However, since the end portion having the angle is sewn, the shape becomes swelled on the acute angle side, and the shape becomes concave and distorted on the obtuse angle side. On the other hand, when the carving rubber is used, both ends are cut at right angles and sewn to form a frustoconical tube shape having both upper and lower openings having a planar circumference. It can fit naturally into the shape.

Referring to the sports bra 1 according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the upper edge 21 of the under belt 2, the outer edge 31 of the side belt 3 and the outer edge 41 of the strap 4 are shown in FIG. By arranging and suturing the outer edge of the carving rubber shown, the under belt 2 along the wearer's torso and the three-dimensional cup frame 61 along the breast bulge were formed, and further along the shoulder line. The inclined strap 4 can be formed.

The width of the carving rubber according to the present invention is not particularly limited, but is in the range of about 1 to 10 cm.
Preferably about 3-5 cm is suitable. Specifically, the under belt 2 is about 5 cm, the side belt 3 is about 3.5 cm,
The strap 4 is preferably about 4 cm.

The underbelt 2 is sewn at the center of the chest or the center of the back using a conventional tape stopper 10 or the like. Alternatively, the underbelt 2 may be detachably locked using a button or a hook. it can.

A cup frame 61 formed by the under belt upper edge 21, the side belt inner edge 32 and the strap outer edge 41 is formed. The cup body 6 stretched over the cup frame 61 and sewn is a cloth having elasticity, and is preferably a cloth having elasticity in two vertical and horizontal directions such as a two-way tricot. At this time, if the expansion and contraction rate of the carving rubber forming the cup frame 61 and the expansion and contraction rate of the cloth forming the cup body 6 are set to be substantially the same, the wearing feeling can be made more natural.

The cup body 6 may be a flat part because it is a stretchable cloth, but has a greater stretching strength from the lower part to the outer part of the cup body 6 than the body of the cup body 6. By arranging the reinforcing pieces 8, a three-dimensional shape can be obtained. In such a case, the effect of supporting the lower part of the breast is improved, and the feeling of wearing is also improved. (In FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, since the reinforcing piece 8 is arranged on the back surface of the cup body 6, it is not shown in the drawing.) If the reinforcing piece 8 has a larger elastic strength than the main body of the cup body 6. However, it can also be made of a different fabric which is more elastic than the fabric forming the body. Moreover, it is also possible to arrange two cloths used for the main body from the lower part to the outer part of the cup body 6 to form the reinforcing pieces 8 and to arrange them.

Further, the cup body 6 may be formed of an elastic mesh material in order to improve the air permeability.

A back cloth 9 made of a stretchable cloth is placed in a region surrounded by the back portion of the under belt 2 of the sports bra 1 according to the present invention, the lower portion of the side belt 3 and the lower back portions of the left and right straps 4. It is also possible to sew as if pasting. The cloth forming the back cloth 9 may be the same as the cloth forming the cup body 6, but is not particularly limited. By providing the back cloth 9, muscles and the like in a region surrounded by the back portion of the under belt 2, the lower portion of the side belt 3, and the lower back portions of the left and right straps 4 are prevented from protruding, and the feeling of wearing is improved. , Sweat-absorbing

[0026]

The sports bra according to the present invention can support the breast firmly even during intense exercise by using the above-mentioned carving rubber as a predetermined component. Because it fits naturally, the strap does not slip down or the cup does not slip even during exercise.

Further, since the carving rubber is used for a strap, an underbelt, or the like, not only is pressure applied evenly at rest, for example, even if the angle of the shoulder line is changed when the arm is swung up. It is possible to always lift the strap with a constant pressure without biasing the inner edge or the outer edge of the strap.
For this reason, there is no occurrence of threading or rash on the skin, which is caused by the bias of the pressure.
