BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to women's clothing with a cup such as a brassiere. Such women's clothing with a cup includes foundation clothing such as brassiere, brasslip, bra camisole, body suit and body teddy, as well as swimwear and leotards. of course,
Bras without shoulder straps or with removable shoulder straps are also included.

In this specification, "low elasticity" means
It means the property of being difficult to expand and contract with respect to external force and generating a strong repulsive force (contracting force) when extended. Further, "highly stretchable" means a property that it easily stretches with respect to an external force and the repulsive force (shrinking force) generated when stretched is weak.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional women's clothing with a cup such as a brassiere has been manufactured by using one or two pieces of fiber cloth as the material for the cup, but the cup is pulled to the side by a back cloth. As a result, the bust is crushed and the shape retention and moldability of the bust deteriorate.

Therefore, in order to improve the shape retention and molding property of the cup portion, a cup portion made of a material such as a non-woven fabric or urethane foam having a good cushioning property and a cushioning property has been used. .

[0005]

However, due to the improved shape-retaining property, conversely, the bust and the cup portion are rubbed by the wearer's exercise, which causes the upper side of the cup and the bust top to float. As a result, there is an inconvenience that the feeling of wearing is unpleasant.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a female garment with a cup capable of performing a beautiful silhouette molding while maintaining a good fit to the breast as a whole. The purpose is to provide.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a female garment with a cup according to the present invention has a pair of left and right cup parts and a side of the cup part as described in claim 1. A female clothing with a cup having a back connecting portion arranged in, wherein in the cup portion, a cup central portion straddling the bust top in the vertical direction is a molding region formed of a thick material, It is characterized in that the cup side portion on the side of the cup central portion is a flexible region made of a material thinner than the cup central portion.

As a result of many years of research, the applicant of the present invention, in the cup portion of the women's clothing with a cup, forms the bust shape by forming the cup central portion straddling the bust top in the vertical direction with a thick material. It was found that the moldability and moldability were obtained.

Therefore, in the female garment with a cup according to the present invention, in the cup portion, the central portion of the cup straddling the bust top in the vertical direction is a molding region made of a thick material. As a result, the shape retention and moldability of the cup portion are maintained well.

On the other hand, since the back connecting portion receives a pulling force by the action of the wearer (for example, raising and lowering of the arm), the cup side portion adjacent to the back connecting portion is affected by the pulling force. Cheap. Further, if the women's clothing with a cup is provided with a shoulder strap, the cup flank to which the shoulder strap is connected is more likely to be affected by the pulling force.

However, in the present invention, the cup flank portion of the cup portion is a flexible region made of a material thinner than the cup central portion. As a result, the cup side part is deformed flexibly with good followability against the above-mentioned pulling caused by the wearer's action, and the cup as a whole is transferred to the breast without impairing the bust shape retention / molding function by the cup center part. It is possible to maintain good fit and to improve the wearing feeling.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform a beautiful silhouette molding while maintaining a good fit to the breast as a whole cup.

Further, as described in claim 2, the female garment with a cup according to the present invention is a cup provided with a pair of left and right cup parts and a back connecting part arranged on the side of the cup parts. A women's clothing with a cup, wherein in the cup part, a central part of the cup that straddles the bust top in the vertical direction,
It is a molding region made of a material that is thick and has low elasticity, and the cup side part on the side of the cup center part is
It is more preferable that the interchangeable region is made of a material that is thinner than the central portion of the cup and has high elasticity. Here, examples of the material having a low thickness and elasticity that is used in the central portion of the cup include materials having good tension and cushioning properties such as non-woven fabric and urethane foam.

With such a construction, the thickness and elasticity of the cup center part and the cup side part can be different, so that the wearer's movement is enhanced while enhancing the bust shape and molding function by the cup center part. The side portions of the cup are deformed flexibly with good followability due to the pulling by, so that the fit of the entire cup to the breast can be better maintained and the wearing feeling can be further improved.

More preferably, as in claim 3, the front center part of the cup, which is located closer to the front center than the center part of the cup, may be a flexible region which is thinner than the center part of the cup and is made of a highly elastic material. . In this case, the cup as a whole can more flexibly follow the pull or the like caused by the motion of the wearer, and the fit of the entire cup to the breast can be better maintained and the wearing feeling can be further improved.

Further, as in claim 4, the cup upper edge portion in the central portion of the cup may be a flexible region made of a material which is thinner and has higher elasticity than the other portion of the central portion of the cup. In this case, since the flexibility of the upper edge portion of the cup becomes high, there is an advantage that the lifting effect from the lower side to the upper side becomes high in the molding of the bust.

Further, as described in claim 5, the lower edge portion of the cup in the central portion of the cup may be a flexible region made of a material that is thinner and has higher elasticity than the other portion of the central portion of the cup. In this case, since the flexibility of the lower edge portion of the cup becomes high, there is an advantage that the fitability of the upper half portion at the center portion of the cup becomes high.

Further, as in claim 6, the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion of the cup in the central portion of the cup are:
The interchange area may be made of a material that is thinner and has higher elasticity than the other portion of the cup center portion. in this case,
Since the flexibility of both the upper edge portion of the cup and the lower edge portion of the cup is high, there is an advantage that the fit around the bust top is particularly high and it is easy to follow various bust shapes and sizes.

Further, as described in claim 7, the molding region may be extended from the central portion of the cup to a partial region of the side portion of the cup along the barges line. In this case, since the molding region is formed from the bottom of the bust to the side, there is an advantage that the molding and shape-retaining properties of the bust are enhanced, and particularly the bust lifting effect is enhanced.

Further, as in claim 8, the molding region may be expanded from the central portion of the cup to a partial region of the central portion of the front of the cup. In this case, there is an advantage that the shaping and shape-retaining properties of the bust in the center part in front of the cup are enhanced.

According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, the cup portion is constituted by a two-piece joint in which upper and lower cup cloths are sewn together, and a molding region is formed along the joint of the two-piece joint from the center of the cup.
It may be extended to either or both of the front center part of the cup and the side part of the cup. In general, when joining two pieces, the upper and lower cups are sewn at a slight angle, it is difficult to follow the roundness of the bust, and a space is apt to occur between the bust and the cup, but with the above configuration, the molding area, that is, The material having a large thickness and low elasticity can fill the space of the stitched portions of the upper and lower cups. For this reason, even if two pieces are joined together, the fit of the entire cup to the breast can be favorably maintained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to the accompanying drawings,
As an embodiment of the women's clothing with a cup according to the present invention,
An example of a brassiere will be described. The same elements will be denoted by the same reference symbols, without redundant description.

[First Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of a brassiere 10A according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the brassiere 10A includes a pair of left and right cup portions 12, a pair of left and right back cloth portions 16, a pair of left and right shoulder straps 14, and a base portion 18.

Of these, the base portion 18 is the left and right cup portions 12
The lower side edge is sewn, and the side edge portion is sewn to the back cloth portion 16. The back cloth portion 16 is made of a highly elastic material, and is detachably connected by a hook (not shown). The shoulder strap 14 is sewn to the upper end of the cup portion 12 on the armpit side, and is stretched between the back cloth portion 16 and the cup portion 12.

A feature of this embodiment is that each of the left and right cup portions 12 has a cup central portion 12B that straddles the bust top in the vertical direction, a cup side portion 12C on the side of the cup central portion 12B, and a cup. It is composed of three regions of a cup front center part 12A on the front center side of the center part 12B, of which a cup center part 12B is a molding region (thick line in FIG. 1) made of a material having a large thickness and low elasticity. Part) and the cup side part 12C and the cup front center part 12A are
That is, the interchange area is made of a material that is thinner than the cup central portion 12B and has high elasticity.

That is, the cup central portion 12B is made of a material having a good cushioning property such as a non-woven fabric or urethane foam, and the cup side portion 12C and the cup front central portion 12 are formed.
A is composed of a stretch lace having high elasticity, which are sewn together and integrally formed as the cup portion 12.

As is apparent from FIG. 1, the cup portion 12 has a cup center portion 12B, a cup side portion 12C, and a cup front center portion 12A. It is composed of a single piece. The base 18 and the shoulder strap 14 are made of a material having low elasticity.

In the brassiere 10A having the above-described structure, the cup central portion 12B is the molding region made of a material having a large thickness and low elasticity, so that the cup portion 12B is formed.
Good shape retention and moldability are maintained.

On the other hand, the shoulder strap 14 and the back cloth portion 16 are used for the movement of the wearer of the brassiere 10A (for example,
The shoulder strap 14 is connected and the back cloth portion 16 is subjected to a pulling force by raising and lowering the arm).
The cup side portion 12C close to is easily affected by the pulling force.

However, in this embodiment, the cup side part 1
2C is a flexible region made of a material that is thinner and more stretchable than the cup central portion 12B (for example, a stretch lace), so that the cup side portion 12C is flexible and conforms well to the above-mentioned pulling by the wearer's action. As a result, the shape of the bust is not impaired by the central portion of the cup described above, and the fit of the entire cup to the breast can be maintained well and the wearing feeling can be improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, the front cup center portion 12A is also similar to the cup side portion 12C.
Since the flexible region is made of a material that is thinner and more elastic than 2B (for example, stretch lace), the cup as a whole can more flexibly follow pulling caused by the wearer's motion, and the entire cup The fit to the breast can be better maintained and the wearing feeling can be further improved.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to obtain an effect that a beautiful silhouette can be formed while maintaining a good fit to the breast as a whole cup.

It should be noted that it is not essential that the front central portion 12A of the cup be a converging region. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, even in the brassiere 10B in which only the cup side portion 12C is the interchange area, the cup center portion 12B in which the molding area is formed is used.
With the cup side portion 12C serving as the interchangeable region, it is possible to obtain an excellent silhouette molding effect while maintaining good fitting of the entire cup to the breast.

The material used in the interchange area is
Besides stretch lace, stretch power net,
Stretch russell, stretch tricot, stretch triconet, etc. can be adopted. At this time,
A one-way stretchable material may be used, but if a two-way stretchable material that stretches in other directions is used, it is more preferable because it is more flexible. Further, it is also possible to employ a thin stretch nonwoven fabric having high elasticity and stretch polyurethane foam having high elasticity.

For one molding region, a thick material such as non-woven fabric, polyurethane foam, double Russell, etc. is used, but it is more preferable that there is almost no elongation.

[Second Embodiment] As shown in FIG.
The brassiere 10C of the embodiment is the same as the brassiere 10A of the above-described first embodiment, in which the cup upper edge portion S1 in the cup central portion 12B is thinner and has a higher stretchability than other portions of the cup central portion 12B, for example, It is characterized by a flexible region composed of stretch lace.

In such a structure, the upper edge portion S1 of the cup is formed.
With respect to the above, since the flexibility is high, there is an advantage that the lifting effect from the lower side to the upper side is high in the molding of the bust.

Based on the same idea, as shown in FIG.
In the brassiere 10D, the cup lower edge portion S2 in the cup central portion 12B may be a flexible region made of a material that is thinner and has higher elasticity than other portions of the cup central portion 12B, for example, a stretch lace. With such a configuration, since the flexibility of the lower edge portion S2 of the cup is increased, there is an advantage that the fitability of the upper cup particularly in the cup central portion 12B is increased.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the brassiere 10E, the cup upper edge portion S in the cup central portion 12B is used.
1 and the cup lower edge portion S2, the cup central portion 12B
The flexible region may be made of a material that is thinner and has higher elasticity than other portions (around the bust top), for example, a stretch lace. With such a configuration, since the flexibility of both the upper edge portion S1 of the cup and the lower edge portion S2 of the cup is high, the fitting property especially around the bust top is high, and it is easy to follow various bust shapes and sizes. There is an advantage. [Third Embodiment]

As shown in FIG. 6, the brassiere 10F of the third embodiment is the brassiere 10 of the first embodiment described above.
In A, the molding area is expanded from the cup central portion 12B to a partial area S3 of the cup side portion 12C along the barge line L1.

By thus forming the molding region by expanding from the bottom of the bust to the sides, the moldability of the bust can be improved.
There is an advantage that shape retention is enhanced, and in particular, the bust lifting effect is enhanced. Also, the rise of the cup portion 12 from the base portion 18 is apparently clear,
You can more effectively perform silhouette modeling to make your bust look beautiful.

As a method of expanding the molding area from the cup central portion 12B to the partial area of the cup flank portion 12C along the barge line L1, the method shown in FIG. 7 can also be employed. That is, in the brassiere 10G shown in FIG. 7, the molding region is expanded to a partial region of the cup side part 12C along the barges line L1 as in the case of FIG.
A boundary line L3 between the accommodation area of C and the molding area of the cup central portion 12B and a boundary line L4 between the accommodation area of the front center portion 12A of the cup and the molding area of the cup central portion 12B are before the configuration example of FIG. The interchange area and the molding area may be arranged so as to be displaced toward the center side.

In the structure of FIG. 7 as described above, the molding region is expanded along the bulge line L1 to the side of the bust, whereby the bust's moldability and shape retention are enhanced, and the bust lifting effect is particularly enhanced. And shoulder strap 1
There is an advantage that flexibility is enhanced on the upper edge side of the cup side part 12C to which 4 is connected, and the influence of pulling from the shoulder strap 14 can be minimized.

Further, as in the brassiere 10H shown in FIG. 8, the molding area may be expanded from the cup central portion 12B to a partial area S4 of the cup front central portion 12A. With this configuration, there is an advantage that the shaping and shape retaining properties of the bust on the center side in front of the cup are enhanced. Further, the rise of the cup portion 12 from the base portion 18 becomes apparent from the outside, and the silhouette molding for making the bust look beautiful can be performed more effectively. [Fourth Embodiment]

As shown in FIG. 9, the brassiere 10I of the fourth embodiment is the brassiere 10 of the first embodiment described above.

In general, when two pieces are joined together, the seams of the upper and lower cups are slightly angled, making it difficult to follow the roundness of the bust,
A space is likely to be formed between the bust and the cup, but with the configuration of FIG. 9, there is a tension such as a non-woven fabric / urethane foam forming a molding region (hatched portion) centering on the cup central portion 12B and a cushioning property. A good material can fill the space between the upper and lower cups. For this reason, there is an advantage that even if two pieces are joined together, the fit of the entire cup to the breast can be favorably maintained.

Although FIG. 9 shows an example in which the molding region is expanded along the joint 20 to both the front cup center part 12A and the cup side part 12C, the front cup center part 12A and the cup side part 12C are shown. Even if the configuration is expanded to one of them, the effect of improving the fit to the breast can be obtained.

When it is desired to improve the flexibility of the brassiere as a whole, as in the brassiere 10J shown in FIG. 10, the interchangeable region is formed along the joint 20 of the two-piece joint and the cup front central portion 12A and the cup. Each of the side portions 12C may extend to the cup central portion 12B. In this case, the flexibility of the front cup center part 12A and the cup side part 12C can be improved. [Fifth Embodiment]

As a modification of the embodiment shown in FIG. 11A, the embodiment shown in FIG. 12A can be cited. In the brassiere 10L of FIG. 12 (a), the pocket portion 12E is formed not only in the central portion of the cup but also in a wide area including the central portion in front of the cup. The method of forming the pocket portion 12E and the opening portion 12F is the same as that of the mode of FIG. 11A, and the pad 31 shown in FIG.
It is possible to get in and out of E. Pad 31 and pocket 1
2E has substantially the same shape and the same size, and is designed so that the pad 31 does not move in the pocket portion 12E in the stored state. As the material of the pad 31, a non-woven fabric having a large thickness and low elasticity, polyurethane, double Russell, or the like is used. Also in this aspect of FIG. 12 (a), the molding region and the interchange region are formed, and it is possible to perform a beautiful silhouette molding while maintaining good fitability to the breast as the entire cup. Play.

Of course, also in the brassiere of FIGS. 3 to 10, the molding region and the interchange region are formed by forming the molding region by the pads that can be taken in and out as described above, and the same effect can be obtained. .
