Description

  The present invention relates to a brassiere used during a period of giving birth from pregnancy and raising an infant, and more particularly to a breastfeeding bra used during a lactation period after delivery.

  When breastfeeding, a wearer such as a mother using a breastfeeding bra needs to breastfeed the infant by exposing the breast from the cup portion covering the breast of the breastfeeding bra. For this reason, a structure of a breast feeding bra that has been devised so that the breast is easily exposed from the cup part of the breast feeding bra has been proposed.

For example, a cup part, a back body part on the back side of the wearer, and a shoulder strap part that is connected to the back body part and is attached to both sides of the cup part via a detachable connecting part. Nursing bras have been proposed. According to this conventional breastfeeding bra, when the cup part is removed from the shoulder strap part at the connecting part, the cup part turns over and falls to the front side, so that the nipple is easily exposed and breastfeeding is possible (for example, Patent Document 1).
In addition, an engagement part that engages the left and right cup parts is provided in the approximate center, and a breastfeeding bra that can be opened and closed left and right (sideways) when the engagement of this engagement part is released is also proposed. (For example, Patent Documents 2, 3, and 4).

By the way, a breastfeeding brassiere is usually used by installing a breast milk absorption pad or the like on the inner side (side on which the breast hits) of the cup portion. That is, a breastfeeding mother may give off breast milk except when breast feeding to an infant. For this reason, a breast-absorption pad for absorbing breast milk is installed in the cup portion so that the exuded breast milk does not adhere to clothes or the like.
And since this pad for breast milk absorption is generally disposable, it is usually used by being fixed inside the cup part by a removable member such as a double-sided tape so that it can be replaced every few hours. Yes.
Microfilm of Japanese Utility Model No. 61-119807 (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 63-27409) Microfilm of Japanese Utility Model No. 62-61212 (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 63-14509) Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-127904 JP 2004-169209 A

However, the double-sided tape used in such a pad for absorbing breast milk has an adhesive strength that is considered to the extent that it does not damage the fabric at the location where the brassiere is applied. The pad may be displaced. And if it shift | deviates, there exists a problem that it will be in the state which does not fulfill the role of the pad for breast milk absorption.
Further, the weight of the pad for absorbing breast milk increases due to absorption of breast milk during use or moisture, which may be a cause of displacement of the pad for absorbing breast milk.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a breast feeding bra that can absorb a breast milk without failing to be absorbed even when worn for a long time, and the breast milk absorbing pad can be surely absorbed. .

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the wearer M is wearing the breast feeding bra 10, when the relationship between the breast feeding bra 10 and the wearer M is observed from the side, the left and right support portions 23 a and 23 b are supported. The breast M2 is supported from below by slightly tilting from the position of the front part body part 29 to the bulge side of the breast M2 of the wearer M on the front side. And as above-mentioned, since the right support part upper edge part 34a and the left support upper edge part 34b become convex R shape on the upper side, each breast M2 is supported from the lower side by the left-right support parts 23a and 23b. The area is getting bigger. Therefore, the left and right support parts 23a and 23b can support the breast M2 from the lower side with a large area while following the shape of the lower side of the breast M2 (see FIGS. 2 and 5). Moreover, the right support part upper edge part 34a and the left support upper edge part 34b are examples of a guide part that can reliably guide the nipple M1 of the breast M2 to the openings 18a and 18b by its R shape. Yes.

  When the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b cover the respective breasts M2, the left and right support portions 23a and 23b connect the nipple M1 portions of the left and right breasts M2 to the inner sides of the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b. Are guided to the openings 18a and 18b formed respectively. For this reason, the nipple M1 portion comes into contact with the breast milk pad 21 arranged to be exposed from the openings 18a and 18b.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the left and right support portions 23a and 23b allow the wearer M to move with one hand because the position of the nipple M1 portion does not shift even when the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b are opened. It is easy to breastfeed and is easy to use.
Therefore, the breast-feeding bra 10 can easily expose the breast M2 during breast-feeding while maintaining the protection and shape retention of the breast M2, which are functions of a normal brassiere. In the state where the breast M2 is covered with the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b, the nipple M1 portion is reliably brought into contact with the breast milk pad 21, and the breast milk is smoothly absorbed into the breast milk pad 21.

Moreover, the left and right support portions 23a and 23b are made of a soft material so as to soften the contact with the breast M2 of the wearer M and the like.
For example, the left and right support portions 23a and 23b are made by sandwiching a nonwoven fabric having a good cushioning property between fabrics. And it is preferable that the inner side which is a side which contacts the wearer's M breast M2 of the right-and-left support parts 23a and 23b uses cloths, such as a cotton sheeting and a cotton tricot which are materials with a good touch. Further, on the side of the breast pads 21 of the left and right support portions 23a, 23b, there is a water repellent material or a fabric subjected to waterproofing treatment to prevent the breast milk absorbed by the breast pads 21 from infiltrating. It is preferably used.
Thus, it is preferable that the left and right support portions 23a and 23b have a three-layer structure in which a non-woven fabric having a good cushioning property is sandwiched between a fabric having good touch and a fabric having good water repellency.
For this reason, the left and right support portions 23a and 23b are configured to be able to reliably support the breast M2 of the wearer M while using a soft material.
Accordingly, even during breastfeeding with the breast M2 exposed by opening one of the left and right cup parts 11a, 11b, the position of the nipple M1 does not shift, so that the wearer M can easily feed the infant with breast milk.

Here, with reference to FIG. 5, a state where the breast milk pad 21 is arranged on the breast feeding bra 10 and a method for attaching the breast milk pad 21 will be further described.
The surface (open) of FIG. 5 is such that the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b of the breast feeding bra 10 of FIGS. 1 and 2 correspond to the engaging convex portions 16b of the left and right opening and closing portions 15a and 15b, respectively, as described above. FIG. 5 is a development view in a state where the engagement with the engagement recess 16a provided in the engagement base portion 16 is released, the left and right opening / closing portions 15a and 15b are turned and opened in a double-sided manner.
As shown in FIG. 5, these breast milk pads 21 are arranged inside the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b, respectively. And inside the left and right cup parts 11a and 11b, bag-shaped breast milk pad holding parts 19a and 19b are formed so as to follow the left and right cup peripheral parts 17a and 17b of the left and right cup parts 11a and 11b, respectively. The breast milk pad 21 is arranged to be held in the left and right cup parts 11a, 11b by the breast pad holding parts 19a, 19b. At least a part of the breast milk pad 21, that is, the peripheral edge of the breast milk pad 21 is covered with the breast milk pad holding portions 19 a and 19 b. Further, openings 18a and 18b are formed in the breast milk pad holding portions 19a and 19b, respectively, and these breast milk pads 21 are exposed from the openings 18a and 18b, respectively.

That is, each breast milk pad 21 is accommodated between the left and right cup parts 11a, 11b and the breast milk pad holding parts 19a, 19b formed along the left and right cup peripheral parts 17a, 17b. 11a and 11b are arranged.
Here, these breast milk pad holding parts 19a, 19b are stitched together with the left and right cup parts 11a, 11b at the left and right cup peripheral parts 17a, 17b. And these breast milk pad holding | maintenance parts 19a and 19b are isolate | separated up and down, and upper breast milk pad holding | maintenance parts 19a and 19b are the lower breast milk pad holding | maintenance parts 19a and 19b, right-and-left opening-and-closing part 15a and 15b, and a connection part. In the vicinity of 25, a part is overlapped and stitched to form a bag.

Next, an example of a method in which the wearer M attaches the breast milk pad 21 to the breast feeding bra 10 will be described. When placing the breast pads 21 on the left and right cup parts 11a, 11b and storing them in the breast pad holding parts 19a, 19b, the wearer M first opens one of the left and right cup parts 11a, 11b.
That is, the wearer M releases the engagement of one of the left and right opening / closing parts 15a and 15b of the left and right cup parts 11a and 11b. Then, one of the left and right cup parts 11a and 11b is opened. Here, the case where the left cup part 11b is opened is demonstrated, for example.
The wearer M opens one of the upper and lower breast milk pad holding portions 19b of the left cup portion 11b, which is the open cup, with one hand. The wearer M turns over the lower breast milk pad holding portion 19b. The wearer M inserts a part of the periphery of the breast milk pad 21 between the left cup portion 11b and the lower breast milk pad holding portion 19b with the other hand. Next, the wearer M extends the upper breast milk pad holding part 19b and inserts the remaining periphery of the breast milk pad 21, and covers the inserted part with the breast milk pad holding part 19b. And the engagement convex part 16b of the left opening / closing part 15b of the left cup part 11b and the engagement concave part 16a of the engagement base part 16 are match | combined, and the left cup part 11b is closed and it returns to the original state. On the other hand, the breast milk pad 21 is similarly arranged and held in the right cup portion 11a.

Thus, the breast milk pads 21 can be arranged inside the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b, respectively.
A double-sided tape 31 as a fixing means is disposed on the back side of the breast milk pad 21. For this reason, the breast milk pad 21 can be easily positioned in the left and right cup parts 11a and 11b by sticking the breast pad 21 to the left and right cup parts 11a and 11b with the double-sided tape 31.
Here, the back side of the breast milk pad 21 is the side opposite to the contact surface of the breast M2 with the nipple M1, and the side facing the inner surfaces of the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b.

  That is, the breast milk pad 21 is fixed to the left and right cup parts 11a and 11b by being attached with a double-sided tape 31, and the periphery thereof is inserted between the left and right cup parts 11a and 11b and the breast milk pad holding parts 19a and 19b. It arrange | positions so that the circumference | surroundings may be covered with the holding parts 19a and 19b. Then, the central region of each breast milk pad 21 is exposed from each opening 18a, 18b of each breast pad holding part 19a, 19b.

For this reason, when the wearer M wears the breast feeding bra 10, the left and right nipples M1 are surely in contact with the breast pads 21 exposed from the openings 18a and 18b. Therefore, the absorption of the breast milk into the breast milk pad 21 is smoothly performed and reliably absorbed.
Each breast milk pad 21 is covered and held by each breast pad holding part 19a, 19b. For this reason, even if it is used for a long time, it respond | corresponds to the motion of the wearer M and it can reduce that the breast milk pad 21 slip | deviates.

Here, the right cup part 11a and the left cup part 11b are examples of the left and right cup parts for covering the left and right breasts, respectively.
Also, the right front body 14a, the left front body 14b, the support base front body part 29, the right rear body 14c, and the left rear body 14d are examples of a body part that is placed on the chest circumference of the wearer when worn (when worn). ing.
The right strap portion 12a and the left strap portion 12b are an example of shoulder strap portions, and are connected to the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b and the left and right rear body portions 14c and 14d on the back side of the body portion.
Moreover, each breast milk pad holding | maintenance part 19a, 19b is an example of a holding | maintenance part, and each breast milk pad 21 for absorbing breast milk inside a right-and-left cup part is each hold | maintained by these each breast milk pad holding | maintenance part 19a, 19b. It can be done.
And these breast milk pad holding | maintenance parts 19a and 19b expose each breast milk pad 21 in order that the nipple M1 part which is the center area | region of the breast M2 may contact | abut with the breast milk pad 21 at the time of mounting | wearing. Openings 18a and 18b are provided.

  For this reason, since the breast milk pad 21 is held by the breast milk pad holding portions 19a and 19b (an example of the holding portion), it is possible to reduce the shift, and the breast pad 21 exposed from the openings 18a and 18b is attached to the wearer. Since it is in contact with the M nipple M1 region, the absorption of the breast milk into the breast pad 21 is smooth.

Moreover, these breast milk pad holding | maintenance parts 19a and 19b (an example of a holding | maintenance part) are arrange | positioned so that the right-and-left cup peripheral parts 17a and 17b which are the periphery of the left-right cup parts 11a and 11b may be followed.
For this reason, since the movement of the peripheral edge of the breast milk pad 21 is regulated, the retainability is further improved. It is possible to effectively prevent the breast pad 21 from shifting itself with respect to the movement of the wearer M. In addition, when the baby M is breastfeeding, the wearer M supports the infant with one hand, and the other hand exposes the breast M2 from one of the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b of the breast feeding bra 10. Also at this time, since the breast milk pad 21 is held by the breast pad holding portions 19a and 19b, it can be reduced that the breast milk pad 21 is detached or displaced even if it is operated with one hand. This makes it easy to use.

In addition, between the breast milk pad holding portions 19a and 19b and the breast M2, a guiding portion for guiding the nipple M1 portion to the openings 18a and 18b by supporting the breast M2 of the wearer M from below when worn. As an example, left and right support portions 23a and 23b are arranged.
These left and right support portions 23a and 23b support the breast M2 of the wearer M from the lower side, and the nipple M1 portion has openings 18a and 18b formed in the breast milk pad holding portions 19a and 19b of the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b. The nipple M1 portion can reliably contact the breast milk pad 21 exposed from the openings 18a and 18b.

Therefore, when the wearer M wears the breast feeding bra 10 and covers the left and right breasts M2 with the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b, the nipple M1 portion of the wearer M is provided via the openings 18a and 18b. Then, it comes into contact with the breast milk pad 21 arranged inside the left and right cup parts 11a, 11b. For this reason, the breast milk is smoothly absorbed into the breast milk pad 21.
When the wearer M opens one of the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b during breast feeding, the breast M2 of the wearer M is supported from below by the left and right support portions 23a and 23b. For this reason, the nipple M1 part does not fall, and the wearer M is easy to breastfeed the infant.

  Then, on the front side of the wearer M, the left and right opening / closing part having an engaging recess 16a, which is an example of an opening / closing engaging part, in the approximate center near the virtual center line CL of the left and right cup parts 11a, 11b. 15a and 15b are provided, and the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b are opened in both sides of the wearer M. That is, when the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b are opened by the left and right opening and closing portions 15a and 15b, the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b can be opened on the double doors, and the wearer M can easily expose the breast M1 with one hand.

  Further, the abutment side of the breast milk pad holding portions 19a and 19b with the breast milk pad 21 is made of a material having water repellency. For this reason, even if the mother's milk absorbed by the breast milk pad 21 permeates the breast milk pad holding portions 19a and 19b, it does not get uncomfortable because it gets wet to the holding portion side. Therefore, for example, even in an environment where the wearer M cannot replace the breast milk pad 21 for a long time, the wearer M does not get wet to the breast pad holding portions 19a and 19b, and the wearer M does not feel uncomfortable. In addition, the contact part is wet when replacing the breast milk pad, and there is no unpleasant feeling.

The left and right strap parts 12a and 12b, which are examples of shoulder strap parts, are divided into left and right cup parts 11a, 11b which are examples of left and right cup parts, and a right back body 14c and a left back body 14d which are examples of the back side of the body part. Each is detachably connected.
For this reason, when the wearer M removes the left and right strap portions 12a and 12b from both the left and right cup portions 11a and 11b and the left and right rear bodies 14c and 14d, the wearer M can be used as a so-called strapless breast feeding bra 10. This is convenient for the wearer M.

Here, different points will be mainly described.

The nursing bra 10a according to the second embodiment is different from the nursing bra 10 according to the first embodiment in that it does not have the left and right support parts 23a and 23b, and the front body part 104 has a virtual center line. It is integrated without being divided into left and right at CL, and is not double (see FIG. 7).
In addition, the connecting portion of the right cup portion 101a and the left cup portion 101b (hereinafter also referred to as the left and right cup portions 101a and 101b) and the right strap portion 102a and the left strap portion 102b (hereinafter also referred to as the left and right strap portions 102a and 102b) The left and right cup portions 101a and 101b are detachably connected to the left and right strap portions 102a and 102b at the opening and closing type fastener 204 portion. When breastfeeding, the right cup portion 101a or the left cup portion 101b is opened by the openable fastener 204, and the opened left and right cup portions 101a and 101b are turned downward and fall to the underbust side 20. (See FIG. 8).

Further, the left and right strap portions 102a and 102b are not detachably connected to the left and right rear bodies 14c and 14d, and cannot be removed (see FIG. 9).
However, the point that each breast milk pad holding portion 109a, 109b is provided so as to be substantially along the left and right cup peripheral portions 107a, 107b of the left and right cup portions 101a, 101b and the point having the respective opening portions 18a, 18b are the same. It has become. Accordingly, each breast milk pad 21 is exposed to be in contact with the nipple M1 portion of the breast M2 of the wearer M from each of the openings 18a and 18b (see FIGS. 8 and 9). ).

Referring to FIG. 7, the right cup portion 101a and the left cup portion 101b of the breast feeding bra 10a according to the second embodiment are provided so as to cover the left and right breasts M2, respectively. The right cup portion 101a is sewn to the front body 104 and the lower side of the right cup peripheral portion 107a, and the left cup portion 101b is sewn to and connected to the lower side of the left cup peripheral portion 107b.
The lower sides of the right cup peripheral portion 107a and the left cup peripheral portion 107b are along the lower peripheral portion of the breast M2, and the wires 206 (see FIG. 9) are arranged respectively.
Referring to FIG. 9, the wires 206 are arranged along the portions where the lower side of the right cup peripheral portion 107a and the lower side of the left cup peripheral portion 107b and the front body 104 are connected by stitching. It is arranged so as to be symmetrical with respect to the virtual center CL.
The left and right cup portions 101a and 101b are detachably connected to each other by the open / close fasteners 204 provided in the left and right strap portions 102a and 102b, respectively.
That is, the right cup portion 101a is made detachable by the open / close type fastener 204 provided in the right strap portion 102a, and similarly, the left cup is provided by the open / close type fastener 204 provided in the left strap portion 102b. The part 101b is detachable.

  For example, referring to FIG. 9, one end side of the right strap portion 102a is sewn to the right back body 14c, and the other end side is the right cup peripheral portion at the inner side of the right cup portion 101a. The lower portion 107a is sewn. Similarly, one end side of the left strap portion 102b is sewn to the left back body 14d, and the other end side is a portion below the left cup peripheral portion 107b inside the left cup portion 101b. It is sutured.

  And, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, when breastfeeding, if the upper part of the right cup part 101a is removed from the openable fastener 204 to expose one breast, the right cup part 101a It turns to the side. Then, the breast M2 is exposed so that breast feeding can be performed. Similarly, when the upper portion of the left cup portion 101b is removed from the closed clasp 204, the left cup portion 101b is turned downward so that the breast can be exposed.
