Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a female garment with a cup such as a brassiere, and more particularly, it is applied to a female garment with a cup for posture correction such as a brassiere, a body suit, a body shaver and a swimsuit. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A brassiere, which is a typical example of women's clothing with a cup, generally forms a beautiful bust by adjusting the shape of the bust. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-3
Japanese Patent No. 24305 discloses a brassiere in which a cup portion and a side portion are made of a non-stretchable material. It is said that this brassiere can lift the breast with a good shape and volume, but the short side part cannot cover ribs widely, and the whole chest cannot be lifted by the shoulder strap.

On the other hand, a bra for posture correction is also known as a garment for women with a cup aiming at a correction effect for correcting a posture that tends to lean forward and a correction effect for lifting a fallen shoulder. JP 9-3708 A and JP 11-152608 A are representative examples thereof.

In the former brassiere, the shoulder strap is formed of a stretchable tape in a loop shape, and the side sawtooth muscles of the armpit are directly pulled up to correct the posture. In the brassiere of the latter publication, the shoulder strap is shaped like a lowercase Greek letter so that the muscles from the armpit to the chest can be pulled up from the front to the shoulder to correct shoulder down and lean forward posture. There is.

[0005]

However, these conventional posture-correcting brassieres attempt to correct the dorsal-posture posture by forcibly pulling their shoulders rearward, but it is sufficient if the chin protrudes. Erecting the spine is difficult. In addition, since it has a special shape, it is not suitable for daily wear, and it hinders the movement of the spinal column, which interferes with daily activities.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a female garment with a cup for posture correction, which has a high effect of erecting the spine of a wearer and does not hinder the movement of the spine.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventor compared the state when a physical therapist corrects the posture of a patient with the state when a person takes a deep breath or stretches his back muscles. When the physiotherapist corrects the patient's posture, he lifts the chest from behind the patient with both hands. The movement of the chest at this time is the same as during deep breathing (inspiration), and it is also the same as when the person stretches his back and stretches his chest in order to improve his posture.

That is, even a person who has a stooped posture or a weakened posture as shown in FIG. 1 (a) can take a good posture as shown in FIG. 1 (b) if he takes a deep breath or stretches his back muscles to stretch his chest. Become. As shown schematically in FIG. 2, the rib cage is located in the upper front direction (see FIG.
This is because the curvature of the posterior thoracic vertebra is reduced by lifting in the direction of the arrow from the state of the dotted line toward the state of the solid line, and the stoop is eliminated. At that time, the fulcrum of the motion of changing the chest is the tenth thoracic vertebra, which corresponds approximately to the posterior underbust point (the point where the posterior can of the brassiere is located).

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention, as in the case where the physiotherapist lifts the patient's rib cage from the rear with both hands to correct the posture, positions of the sides of the rib cage (the latissimus dorsi muscle and the pectoralis major muscle of the human body shown in FIG. During, while firmly holding the front sawtooth muscle position) from the outside,
If the structure that lifts it in the anterior-upward direction (the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 4 and the direction intersecting the rib at an angle close to a right angle) is adopted, the spinal column may be erected without inhibiting the movement of the spinal column. The present invention has been completed based on the knowledge that there is.

According to the present invention, a pair of left and right cup portions three-dimensionally molded to form a cup shape, a pair of left and right side portions connected to the side edge portions of the cup portion, and an upper edge portion of the cup portion. A pair of left and right shoulder straps to which the ends are attached,
In a women's clothing with a cup including a cup portion and a side portion, a non-stretchable panel member having flexibility and shape retention is provided while covering from a side portion of the cup portion to a back side portion of the side portion. The front edge of the panel member is configured to include
It is characterized in that its upper end is located at a portion where the shoulder strap is attached to the cup portion, and its lower end is located at a lower side portion extending in the pulling direction of the shoulder strap in the worn state.

According to the present invention, since the non-stretchable panel member widely covers the wearer's ribs and the front upper end of the panel member is pulled upward by the shoulder strap, the wearer's tenth thoracic vertebra serves as a fulcrum. Can be pulled forward and upward. For this reason, it is possible to achieve a state in which the back muscles are stretched and the chest is stretched like in the case of inhalation of deep breathing, and therefore the spinal column can be raised upright to correct the posture.

In the women's clothing with a cup according to the present invention, the front edge of the panel member may be along a line extending in the pulling direction of the shoulder strap. The pulling force of the shoulder strap is effectively transmitted to the front edge of the panel member.

In the women's clothing with a cup according to the present invention, the front edge of the panel member has a convex shape in which a portion between the upper end and the lower end of the panel member projects toward the front center side of a line extending in the pulling direction of the shoulder strap. It is possible to cover the side surface of the chest with a larger area, and the effect is increased.

In the women's garment with a cup according to the present invention, the front edge of the panel member is formed such that the portion between the upper end and the lower end thereof has a concave shape for pulling to the side of the line extending the shoulder strap in the pulling direction. In this way, when the shoulder strap is pulled upward, the concave portion tends to be linear, and the side portions are more closely attached.

In the women's clothing with a cup according to the present invention, the rear edge of the panel member is located on the back side of the side portion,
It has a line shape with its upper end located in front of its lower end,
Alternatively, it may be characterized in that it is in a line shape that is substantially orthogonal to the wearer's ribs in the worn state, and in particular, when the line of the rear side edge of the panel member is orthogonal to the wearer's ribs, The effect of lifting the sides forward and upward is enhanced. At this time, the rear edge of the panel member needs to pass over the anterior sawtooth muscles of the side and back portions and reach the vicinity of the latissimus dorsi.

In the women's garment with a cup according to the present invention, a cup wire is curvedly provided at the lower edge of the cup portion, and the panel member is configured to have a higher shape retention at the side portion than at the cup portion. This may be characterized by doing so, and it is possible to prevent an unreasonable load from being applied to the bust while increasing the force of sandwiching and holding the ribs of the wearer.

In the women's clothing with a cup according to the present invention, the panel member may be provided with a reinforcing member extending from the lower part of the side portion toward the bust top. The panel member can be more closely attached to the wearer's body, and the action of lifting the rib cage can be increased.

In the women's garment with a cup according to the present invention, the cup portion is a non-wire type, the reinforcing member extends from the lower portion of the side portion to the front edge of the panel member, and the reinforcing member is closer to the side than the cup portion. It may be characterized in that it is configured to have a high shape retention property in the part.
The thoracic vertebra fulcrum can be used to enhance the lifting action of the rib cage.

The female garment with a cup according to the present invention may be characterized in that the lower side of the panel member coincides with the lower side of the side portion. Can be raised.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Prior to the description of the embodiments, the basic model will be described with reference to the schematic diagram of FIG.

First, the ribs are covered as wide as possible by the sheet-shaped panel member (thick solid line portion). Specifically, from the part where the curvature of the body is the largest (the back side of the armpit),
Widely cover the area before the fat and muscle areas (bust and pectoralis major muscles) (around the barges line). In FIG. 5, the area corresponding to four ribs is covered, but the ribs are most easily grasped in the vicinity of the anterior sawtooth muscle, which is a portion between the pectoralis major muscle and the latissimus dorsi muscle (in FIG. 5).

Second, the rigid panel member sandwiches and holds the ribs. A panel member is made of a material such as double russell, power net, compressed non-woven fabric, and resin, which is elastic and has little elasticity, and is used as a component from the side of the brassiere to the side of the cup. A core material such as a bone or a wire may be added to the panel member in order to increase the power to firmly grip and hold the side of the chest of the wearer.

Third, the ribs are lifted upward and forward by the sheet-like non-stretchable panel member (FIG. 5). Since the panel member is integrally configured with the side part and the cup part, and the front edge of the panel member is aligned with the pulling direction of the shoulder strap, the pulling force of the shoulder strap (in FIG. 5) is efficiently applied to the panel member of the side part. The structure is to transmit.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The same elements will be denoted by the same reference symbols, without redundant description.

To the side part 23 through the under part 22 to the side part 23, the back part 3 continuing to the back side of the base part 2, and the cup part 1.
A pair of left and right shoulder straps 4 hung between the upper edge portion and the back portion 3 are main parts. A retractable hook (not shown) is attached to a back portion of the back portion 3 having elasticity (especially elasticity in the direction of pulling to the left and right).

The cup portion 1 is three-dimensionally molded into a cup shape similar to a rounded conical shape. The base portion 2 is formed by including a material having elasticity (in particular, the elasticity in the direction in which the back portion 3 is pulled to the left and right), and the left and right parts are sewn together at the front center to form the left and right integrated base portion 2. is doing. The base portion 2 has an upper edge curved portion curved in a concave shape so as to fit the bust lower portion of the wearer (so-called lower portion of the so-called barge line), and the upper edge curved portion faces the lower edge curved portion of the cup portion 1. , Sewn together.

The brassiere shown in FIG. 6 is characterized in that it includes a panel member 5 that covers from the sideward portion of the cup portion 1 to the back side portion of the side portion 23. The panel member 5 is made of a non-stretchable material having flexibility and shape retention, for example, a firm and elastic material such as double russell. Regarding the shape retention of the panel member 5, the side portion 23 may be made higher and the cup portion 1 may be made lower. In the cup-type brassiere, the cup wire along the barges line enhances the shape retention of the cup part 1 and transmits the pulling force of the shoulder strap 4 to the armpit 23 (the panel member 5 is closely attached to the armpit to lift the ribs). This is to play a role of making it easier.

The panel member 5 has a shape surrounded by a front side edge portion, a rear side edge portion, an upper side portion and a lower side portion, and an upper end of the front side edge portion has a mounting portion P of the shoulder strap 4 in the cup portion 1.

The rear edge portion is located on the back side portion of the side portion 23, and the upper end P3 thereof has a line shape (the line shape inclined with respect to the vertical direction) located on the front side of the lower end P4 thereof. This position is 20-23 cm from the front center in C70
And is substantially orthogonal to the ribs.

The upper side and the lower side of the panel member 5 coincide with the upper side and the lower side of the base portion 2, so that the panel member 5 covers the entire range from the front edge to the rear edge of the brassiere body. Covers. For this reason, it is possible to cover the ribs in a wide range and lift the ribs in the upper front direction.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a wire type brassiere showing a modification of FIG. The difference from FIG. 6 is the shape of the front edge portion of the panel member 5, and the upper end P1 and the lower end P2 thereof are provided.
The portion between is formed so as to project in a curved shape toward the front center side of a line (a line connecting the upper end P1 and the lower end P2) extending the shoulder strap 4 in the pulling direction. Since the upper end P1 and the lower end P2 are located on the extension line of the shoulder strap 4 in the pulling direction, the pulling force is effectively transmitted to the panel member 5 of the side portion 23.

The upper end of the front side edge of the panel member 5 is sewn to the shoulder strap 4, and the lower end thereof is located outside the lowest point of the barges (see (d) of the same figure). In this way, the upper and lower ends of the front edge of the panel member 5 are located on the extension line of the shoulder strap 4 in the pulling direction, and the pulling force is effectively transmitted to the panel member 5 of the side portion 23. There is.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a non-wire type brassiere according to the embodiment. A pair of left and right cup parts 1 having no cup wire, a base part 2 including a front center part 21 through an under part 22 to a side part 23, and elasticity following the back side of the base part 2 (particularly in the left and right directions) Elasticity)
Back part 3, a pair of left and right shoulder straps 4 hung between the upper edge of the cup part 1 and the back part 3, and a detachable hook attached to the back of the back part 3 (not shown). ) Is configured as the main parts.

The cup portion 1 includes an upper cup cloth and a lower cup cloth, which are three-dimensionally molded into a cup shape by sewing them together with a tie line. The base portion 2 is integrally formed on the left and right sides by sewn together the left and right parts (front center portion 21) at the front center. The base portion 2 has an upper edge curved portion curved in a concave shape so as to fit the lower part of the bust of the wearer, and the upper edge curved portion of this under portion 22 is sewn to the lower edge curved portion of the cup portion 1. .

The non-wire type brassiere shown in FIG. 9 is characterized in that the non-wire type brassiere is configured to include the panel member 5, which covers from the side portion of the cup portion 1 to the back side portion of the side portion 23. The panel member 5 is made of a non-stretchable material having flexibility and shape retention property, for example, a firm and elastic material such as double russell, but a material that does not stretch (such as marque) may be used. . The shape retaining property of the panel member 5 is that the reinforcing member 51 made of a plastic bone or the like is used.
Is enhanced by. The reinforcing member 51 extends from the lower portion of the rear end portion of the panel member 5 in the direction toward the top of the bust, and the shape retention of the side portion 23 is higher than that of the cup portion 1.

The panel member 5 has a shape surrounded by four edges of a front edge portion, a rear edge portion, an upper side portion and a lower side portion, and an upper end of the front side edge portion has a mounting portion P1 of the shoulder strap 4 in the cup portion 1, The lower edge of the front edge is the shoulder strap 4 when worn.
Lower part P2 of the under part 22 that extends in the pulling direction
Located in each. The rear edge portion is located on the back side portion of the side portion 23, and its upper end P3 is in a line shape (direction substantially orthogonal to the wearer's ribs) positioned on the front side of its lower end P4.

The upper side and the lower side of the panel member 5 coincide with the upper side and the lower side of the base portion 2. Therefore, the panel member 5 covers the entire range from the front edge to the rear edge of the brassiere body. Covers. Since the panel member 5 has a shape-retaining property, the brassiere has a smoothly continuous three-dimensional shape in the region from the side part of the cup part 1 to the armpit part 3, and the side-by-side effect can be expected.

FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a non-wire type brassiere showing a modified example of FIG. The difference from FIG. 9 is the shape of the front edge of the panel member 5, and the portion between the upper end P1 and the lower end P2 of the panel member 5 is retracted in a polygonal line shape on the back side of the line extending the shoulder strap 4 in the pulling direction. It has a concave shape. Since the upper end P1 and the lower end P2 are located on the extension line of the shoulder strap 4 in the pulling direction, the pulling force is effectively transmitted to the panel member 5 of the side portion 23.

FIG. 11 shows a concrete trial production example of a non-wire type brassiere in a state of being turned upside down and being worn on a dummy body. The figure (a) is the figure seen from the front, the figure (b) is the figure seen from the back, the figure (c) is the figure seen from the side, and the figure (d) is the figure seen from the diagonally front. .

The panel member 5 is composed of one non-stretchable cloth, and its rear end portion is located on the back side of the side portion ((b) of FIG.

The upper end of the front edge of the panel member 5 is sewn to the elastic shoulder strap 4, and the lower end thereof is located at the lowest point of the barge (see FIG. 3D). The reinforcing member 51 extends from the lower portion of the rear end of the panel member 5 in the direction toward the top of the bust, and has a different configuration on the outside (side side) and the inside (cup side) of the barges line BL. That is, resin bones are sewn on the outside of the barges line BL with bias tape, and only the bias tape is sewn on the inside. As described above, the power of pressing the side of the panel member 5 is enhanced by the reinforcing member 51, and the upper end and the lower end of the front edge of the panel member 5 are located on the extension line of the shoulder strap 4 in the pulling direction. 23 is effectively transmitted to the panel member 5.

When a wearing feeling test was conducted using the brassiere of the prototype, good results were obtained for both young and middle-aged people. The general demand for bras for posture correction is that the younger people want “to improve their posture and their proportions” and the middle-aged people want to “to improve their posture and live a healthy life”. However, the results were "easy to breathe", "easy to breathe", "easy to move", and "easy to move the shoulder" for all age groups. It was proved that the thorax becomes easier to open and breathing (especially inspiration) movement becomes easier, which has a side effect.

The present invention is based on the point that the 10th thoracic vertebra where the can is located is a fulcrum, the ribs are grabbed by the side seats (panel members), and the rib cage is lifted by a rigid cup and shoulder straps. There is. As a result, even a cat-back type person can stretch his back muscles and experience the so-called Shakit feeling. With such a configuration, various modes are possible without being limited to the above-described embodiment and modified examples.

For example, the reinforcing member may be composed of a plurality of bones arranged side by side, or may be composed of a corrugated panel. Further, not only the rear hook type but also a front hook type brassiere may be used. A so-called long-length female garment with a cup as shown in FIG. 12 may be used. Figure 12 (a)
