  Since the wearer's breast is not squeezed, it can remain intact.

  The brassiere using the inner cup body of the brassiere according to the present invention is less likely to lose its shape and contributes to a longer life.

  The chest shape can be kept perfectly even when the inner cup body is used in a dress with a chest.

  The objects, advantages, and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the inner cup body 2 of the brassiere according to the present invention is substantially bowl-shaped (ball-shaped) and is formed to include a concave inner surface that matches the contours of a female breast. Has been.

  The inner cup body 2 of the brassiere can be made of silicon rubber, latex rubber, or synthetic silicon rubber or synthetic latex rubber.

  The inner cup body 2 has an inner edge portion and an outer edge portion on which the connecting portion 20 extends so as to be connected to one end of the shoulder strap 34 (see FIG. 5). At its upper edge, it has a recess 21 adjacent to the connecting portion 20. Furthermore, the upper edge includes a convex arc-shaped portion 22 that converges upward adjacent to the concave portion 21.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the convex arcuate portion 22 is a papillary shield located above a virtual straight line connecting the lowest point (b) on the inner side (between the breasts) and the lowest point (a) of the concave portion 21. The unit 23 is provided.

  With the nipple shield 23 flattened, the distance from the highest point (d) of the nipple shield 23 to the virtual straight line (c) is at least 2.5 cm (more preferably 2.5 cm to 6 cm).

  The distance (g) between the intermediate points (j) and (j) on both sides of the nipple shield 23 is 4 to 9 cm so that the wearer's breast nipple can be covered sufficiently.

  As a more preferred embodiment, an imaginary straight line (f) passing through two intermediate points (j) and (j) on both sides of the nipple shielding part 23 may be parallel to the imaginary straight line (c).

  Similarly, the nipple shield 23 may have a relative thickness 24 that covers the wearer's breast nipple, with a thickness of 1 to 9 mm.

  Furthermore, the nipple shielding part 23 can be provided with a relatively thin part above the relative thick part 24 so as to cover a part thinner than the relative thick part 24 and above the nipple of the wearer's breast. The thickness of the relative thin part may be 0.8 mm.

  In the inner cup body 2 of the brassiere, a covering portion 25 is formed below the nipple shielding portion 23.

  A connecting piece 26 may be provided along the lower edge of the inner cup body 2 of the brassiere.

  When the area of the nipple shielding part 23 is small, the relative thickness part 24 can be extended downward from the virtual straight line (c) as shown in FIG.

  The distance between the extended lowest point and the virtual straight line (c) is 2 cm or less, but may be 3 cm or less as necessary.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the inner cup body 2 of the brassiere according to the present invention is used for the brassiere 3, each inner cup body 2 includes a layer 31 on the back side (body side) of the cup 30 and a layer 32 on the front side. Sewn in between. That is, the inner cup body 2 of the brassiere is put in the cup 30.

  The elastic iron ring 33 shown in FIG. 6 can be connected to the connecting piece 26 on the lower edge of the inner cup body 2 of the brassiere and embedded. The iron ring 33 may be covered by the lower edge of the back and front layers 31 and 32 of the cup 30 by sewing. Thereby, the iron ring 33 is fixed to the edge of the lower end of the cup 30.

  In addition, the brassiere 3 has two shoulder straps 34, one end of which is connected to the connecting part (not numbered) of the cup 30. The one end of the shoulder strap 34 and the connecting portion 20 of the inner cup body 2 of the brassiere can be sewn.

  The brassiere 3 has a back strap 35 provided continuously from the outside of each cup 30, and the other end of each shoulder strap 34 is connected thereto. The back strap 35 may be sewn to the outer surface of the inner cup body 2.

  FIG. 7 shows a wearer wearing a brassiere 3 fitted with an inner cup body 2 according to the present invention.

  The inner cup body 2 of the brassiere has extremely good plasticity and shape restoration, and the cup 3 of the brassiere 30 is in close contact with the breast 4 of the wearer. The elastic iron ring 33 and the covering portion 25 of each inner cup body 2 hold the lower portion of the breast 4, align the positions, and also have the effect of being lifted by the connecting portion 20 and the shoulder strap 34.

  Since the breast 4 can be lifted without sagging and its position is determined, a chest with improved effects of being brought to the center or being shaped can be realized.

  The nipple shielding part 23 of the inner cup body 2 attached to the cup 3 has a relative thick part 24 covering the nipple 40 and a relative thin part adjacent to the relative thick part 24 and in close contact with the upper part of the breast nipple 40 of the wearer. And cover the central area of the breast 4.

  By providing the relative thick portion 24 and the relative thin portion in the inner cup body 2 of each brassiere, the nipple shielding portion 23 is in intimate contact with the wearer's breast 4.

  When the wearer leans forward, the relative thickness portion 24 is heavier, so the upper edge of the cup 30 does not break forward, thereby improving the shape restoration. As a result, the teat 40 can be reliably covered with the relative thin part and the relative thick part 24 that cover the top of the teat 40, and the teat 40 can be prevented from being exposed.

  Further, when the wearer lifts the shoulder strap 34 for adjustment, the concave portion 21 between the connecting portion 20 and the nipple shielding portion 23 forces the nipple shielding portion 23 even if the connecting portion 20 and the covering portion 25 are lifted. Can be blocked from transmitting. As a result, it is possible to prevent the central portion of the breast 4 from being pressed when the shoulder strap 34 is lifted upward.

  More specifically, the traction generated by lifting the shoulder strap 34 moves the covering portion 25 upward. On the other hand, the traction force is absorbed in a region adjacent to the nipple shield 23. For this reason, the nipple shielding part 23 is not affected by the traction force and can be brought into close contact with the breast 4 without pressing the breast 4 of the wearer.

  As a result, a perfect chest shape can be provided while giving a comfortable wearing feeling.

  Furthermore, due to the excellent plasticity and shape recoverability of the inner cup body 2, unwanted deformation of the brassiere 3 hardly occurs and contributes to a long-life product.

  In the inner cup body 2 of the brassiere according to the present invention, at least one gap portion can be provided on the back side (body side) surface of the relative thickness portion 24. The gap is formed by at least two protrusions. The protrusions are rib-like protrusions 51 as shown in FIG. 8, mesh-like protrusions 52 as shown in FIG. 9, or helical protrusions 53 as shown in FIG. It can be set as the dotted | punctate protrusion part 54 as shown. The protrusions serve as air circulation channels in order to improve air permeability.

  FIG. 12 shows another embodiment when the inner cup body 6 of the brassiere according to the present invention is used in a brassiere without a shoulder strap or a dress with a chest.

  In this embodiment, the inner cup body 6 of the brassiere has a substantially bowl shape and has an upper edge including a convex arc-shaped portion 60 that converges upward. The convex arc-shaped portion 60 is formed above an imaginary straight line (i) passing through the lowest point (k) inside the convex arc-shaped portion 60 (between the breasts) and the lowest point (l) outside the convex arc-shaped portion 60. The nipple shielding part 61 is provided.

  Similar to the embodiment of FIG. 2, the distance from the highest point (d) of the nipple shielding portion 61 to the virtual straight line (i) is 2.5 cm or more with the nipple shielding portion 61 being flat, more preferably 2.5 cm to 6 cm.

  The distance (g) between the intermediate points (j) and (j) on both sides of the nipple shielding part 61 is 4 to 9 cm, and is long enough to cover the wearer's breast nipple.

  More preferably, the virtual straight line (f) connecting the intermediate points (j) (j) may be parallel to the virtual straight line (i).

  More preferably, the nipple shielding portion 61 may be provided with a relative thickness portion 62 having a thickness of 1 to 9 mm that covers the breast nipple of the wearer.

  Furthermore, the nipple shielding part 61 may be provided with a relative thin part thinner than a relative thick part covering at least a part of the breast above the nipple.

  The remaining portion of the inner cup body 6 outside the relative thickness portion 62 can have a certain thickness.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the inner cup body 6 is used in the dress 7 having a chest, a shoulder strap is not used, and a back strap (not shown) is connected to the outer surface of each inner cup body 6, The inner cup body 6 can be brought into close contact with the chest.

  Even if the wearer has cancer in front, the inner cup body 6 can be brought into close contact with the chest of the wearer without completely exposing the nipple while maintaining the shape of the breast completely.

  Since the present invention has the configuration as described above, the inner cup bodies 2 and 6 according to the present invention have excellent plasticity and shape restoring properties, and are easily adhered to the chest of the wearer. As a result, the breast 4 does not hang down but is lifted and positioned. At the same time, the purpose of raising, moving to the center and shaping the shape is achieved.

  Furthermore, since the upper edges of the inner cup bodies 2 and 6 of the brassiere cannot be bent outward, the wearer's nipple is prevented from being exposed.

  When used with the shoulder strap 34, the teat shield 23 is not affected by the traction force when lifting the shoulder strap 34, and is in close contact with the wearer's breast 4. Since the wearer's breast 4 is not compressed, the complete shape can be maintained.

  The brassiere 3 using the inner cup bodies 2 and 6 of the brassiere according to the present invention is not easily deformed and contributes to a long life.

  Even when the inner cup body 6 is used in a dress with a chest open, the chest shape can be kept perfectly.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the embodiments can be appropriately changed.
