Description

  The present invention relates to a bra and, more particularly, to a technique for suppressing sway of a bust (breast) due to exercise without giving a feeling of pressure to a body.

  A bra worn to keep a bust from shaking when a woman exercises, such as running, is known together with the name of a sports bra. For example, when running, the bust shakes a lot and may cause pain or change shape. In order to prevent this, conventional sports bras are generally in the form of a band that does not move by crushing the bust. For this reason, there is a problem that not only the beauty is sacrificed by pressing the chest, but also the body feels oppressive and cramped.

  As a technique intended to solve this problem, a technique described in Patent Document 1 is known. However, when the applicant purchased the implemented product and tested the effect, the effect of the anti-sway was recognized to a certain extent, but was not sufficient.

Patent No. 2930932

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and a bra that effectively suppresses the sway of a bust (breast) due to exercise and does not give a feeling of pressure to the body, and that maintains the beauty of the bust. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to solve the above problems and to achieve the above object, according to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bra, comprising a pair of left and right cups, a first elastic band, and a second elastic band. And The pair of left and right cups have a forward bulge so as to surround the breast. The first elastic band-shaped body is disposed on the front side of each of the pair of cups, and between the upper ends of the cups of each of the pair of cups, between the shoulder strap connecting portion connected to the shoulder strap and the center side end. Has been passed over. A second elastic band-shaped body is disposed on the front side of each of the pair of cups, and, of the cup upper edges of each of the pair of cups, the shoulder strap connecting portion and a side located diagonally below the side. It is stretched between the ends.

  According to this configuration, since a pair of left and right cups having a forward bulge is provided so as to surround the breast, the feeling of pressure on the bust is eliminated and beauty is maintained. Also, the first elastic band-like body suppresses the upper end edge between the shoulder strap connecting part of each cup and the center side end by elasticity from the front side, so that the bust jumping due to the exercise is effectively suppressed. Further, the second elastic band-like body is accompanied by the movement by suppressing the upper edge between the shoulder strap connecting portion of each cup and the side end located diagonally below the side by elasticity from the front side. It suppresses the horizontal movement of the bust and works to center the bust. This also contributes to maintaining the beauty of the bust. In this way, a bra that realizes more effective suppression of bust shaking due to exercise without giving a feeling of oppression to the body and maintains the beauty of the bust is realized.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the brassiere according to the first aspect, wherein a lower end portion is connected to an end portion of the first and second elastic strips at the shoulder strap connecting portion. And a band-shaped core member disposed at a front portion of the shoulder strap.

  According to this configuration, the band-shaped core material functions to more firmly support the ends of the first and second elastic band-shaped members in the shoulder strap connecting portion. For this reason, the function of the first and second elastic strips for suppressing the movement of the bust is further enhanced.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a brassiere according to the first or second aspect, wherein the brassier is disposed below a lower edge of each of the pair of cups, and is sewn to each cup along the lower edge. It further comprises a worn cup rest, the cup rest being non-stretchable.

  According to this configuration, the lateral expansion of each cup is suppressed by the non-stretchable cup base cloth. Thereby, the lateral movement of the bust due to exercise is further suppressed, and the function of moving the bust to the center is further enhanced.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a brassiere according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein each of the pair of cups is sewn to each other along a joint line extending from an upper end to a lower end of the cup. The main part and the side are attached to each other, and the main part and the side are sewn to each other in a contour line before sewing.

  According to this configuration, since the side of each cup is sewn to the main part by connecting to the plane, unlike the main part, it does not greatly contribute to the swelling of each cup. For this reason, the lateral movement of the bust due to exercise is further suppressed, and the function of moving the bust to the center is further enhanced.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the brassiere according to the fourth aspect, wherein each of the pair of cups is constituted by four pieces of cup cloths sewn along a tangential line to each other. One piece constitutes the side and the other three pieces constitute the main part. The three pieces constituting the main part are arranged at the upper part and the lower part divided into right and left, and the contour lines other than the one piece forming the side part are sewn. It has an outwardly curved shape before wearing.

  According to this configuration, the shape in which the main part of each cup bulges forward in a dome shape is realized by the three pieces of cup cloth.

  As described above, according to the present invention, a bra that effectively suppresses the bust (breast) sway associated with exercise without giving a feeling of pressure on the body and that maintains the beauty of the bust is realized.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram exemplifying a configuration of a front half of a brassiere according to an embodiment of the present invention, as viewed from a table (the side opposite to the skin side). FIG. 2 is a diagram exemplifying a configuration of a front half of the brassiere viewed from the back (skin side). FIG. 3 is a diagram exemplifying a configuration of a rear half of the brassier viewed from a table. Further, FIG. 4 is a diagram exemplifying a configuration of the rear half of the brassier viewed from the back. First, the overall configuration of the illustrated brassiere 101 will be described with reference to these drawings. The brassiere 101 has a pair of left and right cups 1, a cup base cloth 3, a side belt 5, a pair of left and right shoulder straps 7, and an under belt 9.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the cup 1 has shape-retaining cup cloths 41, 42, 43, 44 that are divided into four regions and sewn together. The shape-retaining property is a property of maintaining a dome-shaped three-dimensional shape when it is formed. The cup cloths 41, 42, 43, 44 are thick and non-stretchable. For the cup cloths 41, 42, 43, and 44, for example, a thick nonwoven fabric, a thick cotton sheet, or the like is used, and thereby, shape retention, gentle touch, and moisture absorption can be obtained. The cup 1 has a forward bulge so as to surround a bust (breast). For this reason, the feeling of oppression of the bust of the wearer is eliminated, and beauty is maintained.

  The cup base cloth 3 is arranged around a pair of cups 1 and is sewn to these cups 1. The cup base 3 plays a role of holding the positions of the pair of cups 1. The cup base 3 includes an inner cup base 35, a lower cup base 37, and a side cup base 39, which are divided from each other. The inner cup base cloth 35 is sandwiched between the inner edges 17 of the pair of cups 1 and connects them. The lower cup base 37 is disposed adjacent to the lower side of the inner cup base 35 and along the lower edge 18 of the cup 1. The side cup base cloth 39 is arranged adjacent to the side of the lower cup base cloth 37 and along the lower end edge 19 on the side of the cup 1. Adjacent cup rests 35, 37, 39 are also sewn together.

  The cup base cloths 35, 37, 39 are thick and non-stretchable like the cup cloths 41, 42, 43, 44, and for example, the same material as the cup cloths 41, 42, 43, 44 is used. Since the inner cup base cloth 35 is non-stretchable, it is possible to prevent the pair of cups 1 from moving sideways so as to be separated from each other. Further, since the lower cup base cloth 37 and the side cup base cloth 39, particularly the lower cup base cloth 37, are non-stretchable, the lateral extension of each of the pair of cups 1 is suppressed.

  As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, on the front side of the cup 1 and the cup base cloth 3, outer cloths 71 and 72 as the outer material are sewn. The outer cloths 71 and 72 are, for example, thin and elastic. The outer cloth 71 is arranged so as to cover the upper region 73 of the upper edge 16 of the cup 1 as well. As an example, a number of small holes are formed in the outer cloth 71 to enhance air permeability. In FIG. 1, circles attached to the outer cloth 71 schematically represent small holes. A back cloth 74 as a lining is sewn on the upper region 73 of the front cloth 71. The back cloth 74 is thin, and is non-stretchable as an example. Desirably, a highly breathable cloth is also used for the back cloth 74. For example, the front cloth 71 is a 2-way mesh, the front cloth 72 is a 2-way tricot, and the back cloth 74 is a marquisette. Note that the back cloth 74 also corresponds to a part of the cup base cloth 3 that holds the position of the pair of cups 1.

  As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the left and right ends of the side belt 5 are connected to the rear both ends of a pair of left and right side cup base cloths 39, whereby the pair of cups 1, the cup base cloth 3 and the side The belt 5 has a tubular shape so as to surround the wearer's chest as a whole. In the illustrated example, the side belt 5 is not divided into a pair of left and right sides, but is continuous on the back surface. The side belt 5 serves to fix the cup 1 to the chest. The side belt 5 is thin, and as an example, a front cloth 75 and a back cloth 76 are sewn to each other. A non-stretchable and highly breathable cloth is used for the surface cloth 75, for example, like the table cloth 71. As the back cloth 76, for example, a stretchable cloth having high air permeability is used. For example, the front cloth 75 is a 2-way mesh, and the back cloth 76 is a power net.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the front end of the pair of shoulder straps 7 is sewn to the shoulder strap connecting portion 11 at the uppermost end of the pair of cups 1, and is simultaneously sewn to the front cloth 71 and the back cloth 74. Is being worn. The rear ends of the pair of shoulder straps 7 are sewn near the center of the back of the upper edge of the side belt 5. The shoulder strap 7 is for suspending and supporting the main body from the wearer's shoulder so that the main body of the brassiere 101 that is worn around the chest does not fall. As shown, the shoulder strap 7 preferably has an adjuster 13 for adjusting the length.

  As an example, the shoulder strap 7 also has a front cloth 77 and a back cloth 78 sewn to each other. For example, a non-stretchable and highly breathable cloth is used for the surface cloth 77, like the table cloth 71. In the illustrated example, the outer cloth 77 is continuous with the outer cloth 71. As the back cloth 78, for example, a thin, non-stretchable, highly breathable cloth is used as in the case of the back cloth 74. For example, the front cloth 77 is a 2-way mesh, and the back cloth 78 is a marquisette. In the vicinity of the rear end of the shoulder strap 7, an elastic strap tape 79 is provided so as to be interposed between the top cloth 77 and the back cloth 78 and the upper edge of the side belt 5. The adjuster 13 is provided on the strap tape 79.

  The under belt 9 is sewn to the lower edge along the lower edge of the cup base cloth 3 and the side belt 5. The under belt 9 is slightly thick and has elasticity so as to be in close contact with the wearer's skin. In the illustrated example, the underbelt 9 is divided into right and left on the back surface, and is connected to be detachable by the fastener 15. The under belt 9 is, for example, a band-shaped cloth sewn with rubber.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram exemplifying a configuration of a part (left half) of the front half of the brassiere 101 as viewed from the front with the outer cloths 71 and 72 removed. As shown in the drawing, on the front side of the cup 1, an elastic band-shaped body 21 is stretched between the shoulder strap connecting portion 11 and the inner end portion (that is, the center end portion) of the cup upper end edge 16. . The elastic band-shaped body 21 is stretched so as to cover the upper edge 16 of the cup, and both ends are sewn to the cup 1. Further, on the front side of the cup 1, an elastic band-like body 23 is stretched between the shoulder strap connecting portion 11 of the cup 1 and the side end located diagonally below the side of the cup upper edge 16. Have been. Both ends of the elastic strip 23 are also sewn to the cup 1. The elastic strips 21, 23 have elasticity and are somewhat thick. The elastic strips 21 and 23 exhibit a restoring force against tension due to their elasticity. For example, the elastic strips 21 and 23 are plain woven rubber.

  The elastic band-shaped body 21 suppresses the upper end edge 16 between the shoulder strap connecting portion 11 and the inner end of the cup 1 from the front side by elasticity, so that the elastic band-shaped body 21 effectively functions to prevent the bust from jumping due to the exercise. The elastic band-like body 23 suppresses the lateral movement of the bust caused by the movement by suppressing the upper edge 16 between the shoulder strap connecting part 11 and the side end part of the cup 1 from the front side by elasticity. It acts as a center. This also contributes to maintaining the beauty of the bust. As described above, the brassiere 101 more effectively suppresses the bust swing caused by the exercise and keeps the beauty of the bust without giving a feeling of pressure to the wearer's body.

  A belt-shaped core material 25 is sewn to the front of the shoulder strap 7 so as to be along the shoulder strap 7. The belt-shaped core material 25 is sewn between the front cloth 77 and the back cloth 78 of the shoulder strap 7. The lower end of the belt-shaped core material 25 is connected to the shoulder strap connecting portion 11 of the cup 1. The end portions of the elastic strips 21 and 23 and the strip-shaped core material 25 are sewn to the shoulder strap connecting portion 11 so as to overlap each other. The band-shaped core material 25 is, for example, the same material as the cup cloths 41, 42, 43, 44, and is, for example, a thick nonwoven fabric, a thick cotton sheet, or the like. The band-shaped core material 25 has a function of firmly supporting the ends of the elastic band-shaped bodies 21 and 23 in the shoulder strap connecting portion 11. Therefore, the function of the elastic strips 21 and 23 for suppressing the movement of the bust is further enhanced.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the cup 1 connects the vicinity of the shoulder strap connecting portion 11 with the intersection of the lower edge 18 and the lower edge 19 of the cup 1, and is slightly inclined from the vertical, and has a substantially straight tangent line (haji). ), The area is divided into an inner area 51 and a side area 53. The inner region 51 is a main portion that occupies a large area inside the cup 1 and is substantially rectangular. The side area 53 is on the side of the inner area 51 and is substantially band-shaped. The inner region 51 is further divided into three regions, in each of which an upper cup cloth 41, an inner lower cup cloth 42, and a lower side cup cloth 43 are arranged. The upper cup cloth 41 occupies a substantially band-shaped portion along the upper edge 16 of the cup 1 inclined inward and downward. The inner lower cup cloth 42 and the side lower cup cloth 43 are arranged so that the lower substantially triangular portion of the upper cup cloth 41 in the inner area 51 is substantially bisected into the inside and the side. The inner lower cup cloth 42 is substantially triangular, and the side lower cup cloth 43 is substantially rectangular. In the side area 53, the cup side cloth 44 is arranged.

  The four pieces of the cup cloths 41, 42, 43, 44 are sewn to each other along the connecting lines 46, 47 in addition to the connecting lines 45. As described above, the four pieces of cloth 41, 42, 43, and 44 are all preferably thick, and are sewn together with each other without overlapping or folding each other. Since the cup bases 35, 37, and 39 are also preferably thick, the cup bases 35, 37, and 39 between the four cup bases 41, 42, 43, and 44 and the cup bases 35, 37, and 39 are also connected. Are sewn together with each other without overlapping or folding. In addition, the back cloth 74 and the back cloth 78 of the shoulder strap 7 adjacent to each other, the back cloth 74 and the cup cloths 41 and 44, and the back cloth 74 and the cup base cloths 35 and 39 are overlapped and sewn. In order to hide these joint lines, tape-like cloths 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69 arranged on the back side (skin side) are simultaneously stitched along the joint lines. You.

  FIG. 6 is a plan view exemplifying a contour shape before sewing on four pieces of cup cloths 41, 42, 43, 44. The contour of the upper cup cloth 41 along the connecting line 46 is curved outward of the upper cup cloth 41. Similarly, the contours of the inner lower cup cloth 42 and the side lower cup cloth 43 along the connecting line 46 are both outwardly curved. The outlines of the inner lower cup cloth 42 and the side lower cup cloth 43 along the connecting line 47 are also curved outward. Therefore, the three pieces of the upper cup cloth 41, the inner lower cup cloth 42, and the side lower cup cloth 43 are sewn together to form a dome-shaped three-dimensional shape. Since the main part of the cup 1 bulges forward in a dome shape, the function of eliminating the feeling of pressure on the bust and maintaining beauty is more effectively enhanced.

  The top of the dome-shaped bulge formed by the three pieces of the cup cloths 41, 42, 43 is located at the intersection of the joining line 45 and the joining line 46. At the top of this bulge, the bust top (nipple) of the wearer is expected to be located. Since the elastic band-shaped body 21 is arranged so as to cover the upper edge 16 of the upper cup cloth 41 above the top of the bulge, as described above, the elastic band-shaped body 21 effectively functions to prevent the bust from jumping due to the movement. .

  On the other hand, the outline of the cup side cloth 44 along the tangent line 45 is not curved outward but is straight. The contours of the upper cup cloth 41 and the side lower cup cloth 43 along the connecting line 45 are also linear. That is, the cup side cloth 44 does not mainly contribute to the formation of the dome-shaped three-dimensional shape. For this reason, the cup side cloth 44 functions to push the bust inward from the side to the inside. At the same time, the lateral movement of the bust due to exercise is further suppressed. The elastic strip 23 is disposed so as to suppress the upper edge 16 extending obliquely to the side of the cup side cloth 44 from the front side. For this reason, the cup side cloth 44 and the elastic strip 23 cooperate with each other to effectively suppress the lateral movement of the bust accompanying the exercise. In addition, since the cup cloths 41, 42, 43, and 44 have shape retention, the effect of adjusting the shape of the bust is high without changing the shape freely according to the shape of the bust.

  FIG. 7 is a photograph exemplifying a configuration of the prototype of the brassiere 101 as viewed obliquely from the front. In the left half as viewed from the wearer, a part of the outer cloths 71 and 72 has been removed. FIG. 8 is a photograph exemplifying a configuration of the same prototype when viewed from behind. When performing a test of exercising while wearing the prototype, it does not give a feeling of pressure on the body, while maintaining the beauty of the bust, and more effectively reducing the vertical and horizontal shaking of the bust due to exercise It was possible to confirm the above-mentioned excellent effect of suppressing.
