Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pad for a brassiere.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, there are two types of brassiere pads, one using a non-woven fabric and one using an elastic body such as soft polyurethane foam. A pad made of a non-woven fabric has a good feel to the touch, but has no restoration property, and therefore has a drawback that it cannot return to its original shape when deformed by repeated washing. On the other hand, a pad made of flexible polyurethane foam is soft and comfortable to wear and easily returns to its original shape even if it is deformed, but it is easily deformed and lacks the ability to support the breast in a beautiful shape.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a brassiere pad having a high compensation effect and a good wearing feeling.

[0004]

The pad of the brassiere of the present invention is formed by superposing viscoelastic foam on the outer surface side of high elastic foam. A soft high-elastic foam layer is provided on the inner surface close to the skin for a comfortable wearing feeling, and a slightly stiff, non-deformable viscoelastic foam on the outer surface to beautifully adjust and maintain the breast shape. The shape retention is increased. Further, the high elastic foam may be formed thinner than the viscoelastic foam.

An opaque body may be overlaid on the outer surface of the viscoelastic foam and molded. It prevents the color of viscoelastic foam, which is more likely to turn yellow than high-elastic foam, from being seen through from the outside.
The opaque body can be a highly elastic foam. This gives a natural feel when touched from the outside. It is desirable that the viscoelastic foam is formed to have the thickest thickness after molding in the lower portion. The thicker bottom of the slightly stiff viscoelastic foam increases the effect of pushing up the breast.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is a vertical sectional view of the pad 1, FIG. 2 is a front view of the pad 1, FIGS. 3 and 4 are vertical sectional views of the pad 1 before molding, and FIG. 5 is a rear view of the brassiere 2. As shown in FIG. 5, the pad 1 is removably housed in a pocket 4 formed in the lower portion of the back surface of the cup 3 of the brassiere 2, and is formed to be slightly smaller than the shape of the pocket 4. There is.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pad 1 is
It is convexly curved to the outer surface side so as to fit the shape of the breast, and its lower part is formed slightly thicker in order to enhance the effect of pushing up the breast. Further, the pad 1 has a viscoelastic foam 6 laminated on the outer surface side of the high elastic foam 5, and an opaque body composed of another high elastic foam 7 is further laminated on the outer surface side thereof and press-molded, and the inner and outer surfaces thereof are tricot or the like. The cover 8 is covered.

The high-elasticity foam 5 and the other high-elasticity foam 7 are made of the same material as soft polyurethane foam used for general brassiere pads, and are soft and easily deformable. Return to the shape of. The viscoelastic foam 6 is made of viscoelastic polyurethane foam having both viscosity and elasticity, and is slightly harder than the high elastic foam 5 and other high elastic foams 7, but is hard to be deformed, and returns to the original shape when deformed. Takes a relatively long time. Further, the viscoelastic foam 6 is more likely to yellow than a normal high elasticity foam, but since the other high elasticity foam 7 is overlaid on the outer surface of the viscoelastic foam 6 and the cover 8 is further covered, the color of the viscoelastic foam 6 is changed. It cannot be seen through. As shown in FIG. 2, the peripheral portion of the pad 1 is overlocked so that even if the viscoelastic foam 6 and the other high elastic foam 7 turn yellow, they are inconspicuous.

The manufacturing process of the pad 1 is as follows. As shown in FIG. 3, the cover 8 is adhered to the inner surface of the high-elasticity foam 5 having a uniform thickness, and the cover 8 is adhered to the outer surface of another high-elasticity foam 7 having a uniform thickness. The viscoelastic foam 6 cut so that the peripheral edge becomes thin is sandwiched between the high elastic foam 5 and another high elastic foam 7, press-molded while heating, and then the peripheral edge is lock-sewn to form. The thickness of the high elasticity foam 5, the viscoelastic foam 6 and the other high elasticity foam 7 can be appropriately changed depending on the size of the cup 3, the design of the brassiere 2, the age of the wearer, etc. 5 is formed thinner than the viscoelastic foam 6. For example, before molding, the high elasticity foam 5 has a thickness of 3 mm, the thickest part of the viscoelastic foam 6 has a thickness of 1 cm, and the other high elasticity foam 7 has a thickness of about 3 mm.

As described above, when the viscoelastic foam 6 is thickened near the lower portion and the peripheral portion is thinned, the peripheral portion of the pad 1 can be softened, but as shown in FIG. The high elastic foam 5, the viscoelastic foam 6 and the other high elastic foam 7 may be stacked and press-molded. If the pad is desired to be thin, a thick cloth such as a two-weight ricott can be used as an opaque body instead of the other high-elasticity foam 7. Further, in addition to the pad 1 that is removably housed in the pocket 4 as shown in the figure, a pad that is built in and sewn over the entire surface of the cup can be used. Of course, in this case,
The shape of the pad should match the shape of the cup.

[0011]

According to the inventions of claims 1 and 2, since a layer of viscoelastic foam that is elastic but slightly hard and difficult to deform is provided, the breast shape can be beautifully compensated and supported. In addition, by overlaying a softer and higher elastic foam on the inner surface side closer to the skin, the touch is improved and the wearing feeling can be prevented from deteriorating. According to the invention of claim 3, it is possible to prevent the viscoelastic foam, which easily turns yellow, from seeing through from the outside, and the appearance is good even if it is used for a long period of time. According to the invention of claim 4, the feel when touched from the outside becomes natural. According to the invention of claim 5, the breast is pushed up from below by a slightly stiff viscoelastic foam, so that the correction effect is enhanced.
