2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a breast cup has been applied to a wearer's breast in women's clothing to hold the breast,
Has the role of shaping its shape, for example, bras, longline bras, bistieres, bodysuits, all-in-ones, underwear having a brassiere part such as a teddy, bra camisole or brass slip, and other clothing such as swimwear and leotards Is widely used as clothing for women. The breast pad is a pad used for a breast cup portion of these clothes. In addition, the breast pad, when the breast cup has a front cup member and / or a back cup member,
Any of the cloths constituting the front cup member and / or the back cup member is used by being attached to the back side or the front side of the cloth, or when both are provided, between the front cup member and the back cup member. When the breast cup has neither the front cup member nor the back cup member, the pad is used as it is as the breast cup. In such a case,
In many cases, a material in which a woven fabric or a knitted fabric is previously laminated on the front and / or back surface of a nonwoven fabric or a flexible synthetic resin foam is used.

FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view showing the cross-sectional shape of the main types of these conventionally used breast cups or pads.
20 to FIG. In the following description, a breast cup and a breast pad are collectively abbreviated as a "breast cup" unless otherwise used. Therefore, when a part thereof is represented, for example, the upper cup portion and the upper pad portion are collectively referred to as an upper cup portion.

[0004] The breast cup shown in FIG. 17 is a breast cup in which the thickness of the breast cup is almost uniform at the top cup portion, the bottom cup portion, and near the top of the bulge of the cup (near the top portion). is there.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, a breast cup or pad for women's clothing according to the present invention (the breast cup or pad will be abbreviated as a breast cup) with reference to the drawings. This is as described above). In addition, as the clothing provided with the breast cup of the present invention, an example of a bra will be described as a typical example, but the present invention is not limited to only those described in this specific embodiment. ,
Also for clothing to which the breast cup of the present invention is applied, underwear having a bra portion such as a bra, a long line bra, a vistier, a body suit, an all-in-one, a teddy, a bra camisole or a bra slip, other swimwear or a leotard, and a breast It is easily understood that the present invention can be similarly applied to a breast cup of women's clothing having various breast cups such as resort wear having a cup portion.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the breast cup (for the right breast) of the present invention for a full cup as viewed from the skin side. This breast cup 1 is a molded breast cup made of a nonwoven fabric containing thermoplastic fibers or a flexible thermoformable synthetic resin foam which is entirely hot-pressed into a substantially bowl shape. Is the top of the breast cup (apex protruding outward with respect to the human body), the point indicated by the symbol U is the underbust (bottom point) of the breast cup, and the line PUQ is the hollow of the breast cup. 2 and 3 are grooves formed by hot press molding, 7 is the upper side of the breast cup, 8 is the side of the breast cup, 9 is a strap mounting protrusion, and a strap (shoulder) is provided near the SR line. A strap) is attached, but in the case of clothing without a strap, the strap attaching protrusion 9 is unnecessary, and even when the strap is attached, the strap attaching protrusion 9 is always present. May or may not. 4 is the breast cup 2
, Near the center of the breast cup 5, 5 near the lower side of the breast cup 2, and 6 near the side of the breast cup 2.

The vicinity of the front center, the vicinity of the lower side, and the vicinity of the side of the hollow 2 are not strictly divided, and vary depending on the type of the cup. Therefore, they are shown as a rough guide.

In the breast cup shown in FIG. 1, the groove 3 formed by the hot press molding is substantially the lower side of the breast cup cavity 2 from the vicinity thereof except for the vicinity of the top portion T of the breast cup. From the neighborhood 5 to the cavity 2 in the range of the side neighborhood 6 to the cavity 2, the plurality of grooves 3 are formed radially from the vicinity of the periphery of the top portion T of the breast cup. It is provided. As described above, the groove 3 is a groove formed by being compressed by heat press molding and fixed by heat, and the rigidity of this portion is greater than that of the portion where no groove is formed. Therefore, it is possible to support the breast from drooping and flowing to the side by the cup reinforced from the bottom and the side with a slightly stiffened groove, to bring the bust to the front center side, and to raise the bust. it can. Moreover, these grooves are formed by hot pressing a non-woven fabric containing a thermoplastic fiber or a flexible thermoformable synthetic resin foam. Although it has the rigidity necessary to perform the shape correction function, it does not lower the feeling of wearing as compared with the case where a metal or plastic bone is attached. Further, a breast cup of the type in which the thickness of the lower cup portion of the breast cup, and in some cases, the thickness of the lower and side cup portions is increased, as shown in FIGS. In the same way as above, the bust is brought to the front center side and the effect of bust up is aimed at, but as described above, the nude breast of the human body is
The lower side and the side of the breast have a relatively large volume, as it tends to flow down to the side while lowering with weight.
Because the thick part is applied to this large part of the volume, it is pushed by the bust volume, and it becomes difficult for other parts to maintain the normal shape, and the cup deforms and the fit decreases, Since the thick part of the cup is applied to a place where the volume of the bust is large, there is a problem that the feeling of wearing is also reduced, but in the present invention, since the thickness of this part is not particularly increased,
It is possible to provide a breast cup with good fit and excellent wear, without the cup being deformed and the fit being reduced or the wear feeling being reduced.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the grooves 3 arranged radially have grooves extending from the vicinity of the top portion T of the breast cup to the cavity 2 of the breast cup, avoiding the vicinity of the top portion T. However, generally speaking, the length of this groove is
Since it depends on the shape and type of the cup, the purpose of use, etc., it is generally difficult to specify. However, if the line connecting the top part T and the underbust U of the breast cup is the reference line x, the length of the reference line x 80-30% of the length,
More preferably, it is 80 to 60%. Of course, it is possible to have a long groove that extends from the hollow 2 to the top part T, but it is better if there is no groove in the part where the nipple or areola hits, because the feeling of wearing is better,
It is more preferable to have a groove extending from the vicinity of the periphery of the breast cup to the cavity 2 of the breast cup, avoiding the vicinity of the top portion T of the breast cup. It is necessary that the groove 3 reaches almost the hollow 2 on the hollow side, but it goes without saying that the groove 3 may be provided slightly before the hollow 2 as long as the object of the present invention is not hindered. The groove length need not be the same for all grooves 3 in the same breast cup,
For example, it is preferable to make appropriate adjustments such as increasing the length of the portion where the rigidity is desired and shortening the other portions. More specifically, assuming that a line connecting the top part T and the underbust U is a reference line x, and a line that forms an angle of 45 ° with the reference line x on the side of the top part T as a center, Since the vicinity of the line a is the portion where the force of the breast is most likely to be applied, the length of the groove 3 located near the line a is increased, and the length of the groove 3 is reduced as the distance from the line a increases. It may be designed.

The width of the groove 3 also varies depending on the ratio of the number of grooves 3 (existence density), the size and shape of the cup, the purpose of use, etc., but is preferably about 1 to 5 mm.
More preferably, it is about 1 to 1.5 mm. The groove width in this range is preferable because it is effective to provide the rigidity necessary for exhibiting the bust shape compensation function as described above, and does not significantly reduce the wearing feeling.
Of course, the width of the groove 3 does not need to be the same in all the grooves 3 in the same breast cup. For example, the width of the portion where the rigidity is desired to be increased is made large and the other portions are made thinner. It is preferable to make appropriate adjustments. Specifically, as in the case of the length, the width of the groove 3 located in the vicinity of the line a described above is increased, and the width of the groove located farther away is set to a groove having a smaller width. You may. Further, the width of the groove may be changed in the length direction. For example, by increasing the width slightly near the hollow and slightly narrowing the direction of the top, the wearing feeling can be further improved.

The existence density (existence ratio) of the grooves 3 varies depending on the size and shape of the cup, the purpose of use, and the length and width of the grooves 3, so it is difficult to unconditionally define them, but the grooves 3 reach the hollow 2. In the case, the space between the points where the hollow 2 intersects the hollow 2, and when the groove 3 does not reach the hollow 2, the space between the points where the extended line intersects the hollow 2; Is preferably provided at a ratio of about 1 to 3 cm.

When the density of the grooves 3 is in this range, it is effective to give the breast cup the rigidity necessary for exhibiting the bust shape compensation function as described above, and furthermore, the feeling of wearing is significantly reduced. It is preferable because it is not performed. Of course, the existence density of the grooves 3 does not require that all the grooves 3 be provided at the same interval n in the same breast cup.
The proportion of the portion whose rigidity is desired to be increased is increased (that is, the interval n between the adjacent grooves 3 is reduced), and the proportion of the other portions is further reduced (that is, the interval n between the adjacent grooves 3 is increased). It is preferable to adjust them appropriately. Specifically, the line a described above is used in the same manner as in the case of the length and width of the groove.
It is also preferable to make the existing ratio of the grooves 3 in the region in the vicinity of the above small, and make the existing ratio of the grooves 3 farther away therefrom smaller.

Next, FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for generally explaining a region where the grooves 3 formed by hot press molding are radially provided. Usually, as a region where the groove 3 is provided, a line connecting the top portion T of the breast cup 1 and the under bust U is set as a reference line x, and the reference line x is set at an angle of 75 ° to the front center side with respect to the top portion T. , And a line e that forms an angle of 105 ° with the reference line x on the side, and a hollow 2. Even if such a groove 3 is radially provided in an area above this range, there is no point in providing the bust to the front center side, and the function of raising the bust is not exhibited.

A particularly preferable region in which the groove 3 is provided is a line b forming an angle of 45 ° with the reference line x on the front center side with respect to the top portion T, and an angle of 90 ° with the reference line x on the side. Is an area surrounded by a line c and a hollow 2 forming By providing the groove 3 in this portion, it is possible to provide a breast cup which can bring the bust to the front center side and efficiently exhibit the function of raising the bust.

In FIG. 5, a line a forming an angle of 45 ° with the reference line x is set aside on the side of the top T.
However, as described above, since the vicinity of the line a is a very important part for bringing the bust to the front center side and for applying the function of raising the bust, as described above, the line a , The length of the groove 3 located in the vicinity thereof is increased, the length of the groove 3 located in the vicinity thereof is increased, and the groove 3 is shortened as the distance from the line a increases, or the width of the groove 3 located in the vicinity of the line a is increased. The width of the groove at a position farther from the groove 3 is made narrower, and the arrangement, length and width of the groove 3 are determined in consideration of the purpose and required performance with reference to the line a. It is also preferable to adopt a design concept.

The groove in the region surrounded by the line b, the line c, and the hollow 2 is formed more than the groove existing outside the region and in the region surrounded by the line d, the line e, and the hollow 2. It is also preferable to design such that the ratio is increased, the length of the groove is increased, or the thickness of the groove is increased.

Further, as described above, the absence of the groove 3 in the portion where the nipple or the areola comes into contact gives a better feeling of wearing. Therefore, the groove 3 is provided in the vicinity of the top portion T of the breast cup and around it. It is also preferable to adjust the length of the groove 3 so that no groove exists. As described above, in order to achieve this preferred mode, the length of the groove is preferably 80 to 30%, more preferably 80 to 60% of the length of the reference line x in the length from the hollow. Therefore, when the back calculation is performed, the groove 3 shown above is calculated.
Of the length of the reference line x from the top portion T of the breast cup, more preferably 2 to 70% of the length of the reference line x.
It is preferable to design such that the groove 3 does not exist in the area occupied by the circle of 0 to 40%.

Although these grooves are not particularly limited, they are preferably formed on the skin side of the breast cup, because it is preferable from the viewpoint of the appearance of the breast cup.

As the material used for the breast cup, it is necessary to use a nonwoven fabric containing thermoplastic fibers or a flexible thermoformable synthetic resin foam. Of course, a material such as a knitted fabric or a woven fabric may be appropriately laminated on one or both sides of the material as long as the object of the present invention is not hindered.

It is necessary for the hot press molding that the nonwoven fabric contains thermoplastic fibers. The main constituent fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric are synthetic fibers such as polyester fibers, polyamide fibers, acrylic fibers, vinylon fibers, latent or actual crimped fibers thereof, conjugate crimped fibers containing the synthetic polymer component as described above, or Examples include semi-synthetic fibers such as crimped hollow conjugate fibers, rayon, and acetate fibers, and natural fibers such as cotton and wool. Semi-synthetic fibers such as rayon and acetate fibers, and natural fibers such as cotton and wool alone cannot be hot-pressed as described above, so if these fibers are used, they are thermoplastic enough to be hot-pressed. It is necessary to include fibers and heat-fused fibers that are thermally bonded at a low melting point as described later.

As the heat-fusible fibers, in addition to low-melting polyester heat-fusible fibers, low-melting heat-fusible fibers such as polyamide, polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride, and sheath having a low melting point. Heat-fusible core-sheath fibers (especially eccentric core-sheath fibers) are preferred. These heat-fused fibers are used by being appropriately mixed with the main constituent fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric as described above. When these heat-fusible fibers are used, they are used at a ratio of about 5 to 25% by weight, more preferably about 10 to 15% by weight of the weight of the nonwoven fabric, so that they are more excellent in durability against washing and the like and more excellent in shape retention. It is preferable because it can be a breast cup. Although not particularly limited, the low melting point component of the heat-fusible fiber or the heat-fusible core-sheath type fiber, that is, the sheath component, has a melting point of 1%.
A temperature of 10 to 210 ° C., preferably about 110 to 180 ° C. is often used. For example, a polyester copolymer, a polyamide copolymer, and polyethylene are often used. Absent.
The core component of the heat-fusible core-sheath fiber is not particularly limited, but polyester and polyamide are usually used.

Examples of the flexible thermoformable synthetic resin foam include a polyurethane foam, a soft polyvinyl chloride foam, and a foam of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and a polyurethane foam is particularly preferred.

As the temperature for the hot press molding, a heat molding temperature in a range substantially similar to the temperature for thermoforming a conventional molded breast cup or pad, which is called a so-called molded breast cup or pad, can be applied. Since it is different, as a rough guide, when a non-woven fabric is used, for example, about 120 to 200 ° C., in the case of a polyurethane foam, about 200 to 240 ° C., a soft polyvinyl chloride foam, ethylene-acetic acid In the case of a foam of a vinyl copolymer, etc., the temperature is about 80 to 160 ° C., but in any case, in the case of a copolymer, in the case of a kind of a raw material polymer, or in the case of a mixture, the kind and mixing ratio of each component, Since the temperature suitable for molding varies depending on the copolymerization ratio and the like, it may be appropriately adjusted depending on the material.

The items described above are substantially common to each embodiment of the present invention. Next, FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the breast cup (for the right breast) of the present invention for a 3/4 cup as viewed from the skin side. The breast cup is substantially the same as the breast cup shown in FIG. 1 except for the size and shape. Therefore, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

In the breast cup shown in FIG. 2 as well, the groove 3 formed by hot press molding has a substantially lower side of the breast cup cavity 2 from the vicinity thereof except for the vicinity of the top portion T of the breast cup. From the neighborhood 5 to the cavity 2 in the range of the side neighborhood 6 to the cavity 2, the plurality of grooves 3 are formed radially from the vicinity of the periphery of the top portion T of the breast cup. It is provided. As described above, the groove 3 is a groove formed by being compressed by heat press molding and fixed by heat, and the rigidity of this portion is greater than that of the portion where no groove is formed. Therefore, it is possible to support the breast from hanging down and flowing to the side by the rigid grooves from below and from the side, to bring the bust closer to the front center side, and to increase the bust. Moreover, the rigidity of the groove is obtained by hot press molding a nonwoven fabric containing a thermoplastic fiber or a flexible thermoformable synthetic resin foam. Since the material is originally relatively flexible, it has a bust shape as described above. Although it has the rigidity necessary to perform the compensation function, it does not significantly reduce the feeling of wearing. Further, as compared to a breast cup as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20 shown as a conventional example, the cup is deformed and the fit is reduced, and the wearing feeling is not reduced.
It is possible to provide a breast cup having good fit and excellent wearing feeling.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the breast cup (for the right breast) of the present invention for a 1/2 cup as viewed from the skin side. The breast cup of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 is different from the breast cups shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in that the strap mounting projection 9 does not exist, and the size and shape are designed for 1/2 cup. However, other points are almost the same as those of the breast cup shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, and therefore, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

The breast cup shown in FIG.
2 and the breast, as in the breast cup shown in FIG. 2, is supported by the rigid grooves 3 from below and from the side, and the bust is moved to the front center side, and the bust is raised. Can be measured. In addition, a breast cup with good fit and excellent wearing feeling can be provided without the cup being deformed and the fitting property being lowered or the wearing feeling being reduced.

Next, FIG. 4 shows a plan view of a breast cup (for right breast) of the present invention for a full cup according to yet another embodiment as viewed from the skin side. The breast cup shown in FIG. 4 is provided with a thick portion 11 in a portion excluding the vicinity of a top portion of the cup of the upper cup portion and a peripheral portion of the upper cup portion,
Further, a groove 12 formed by hot press molding and substantially along a part of the outer shape around the thick part 11 is provided substantially above the thick part 11. This is a breast cup further having grooves 13 and 14 formed by hot press molding in the width direction of the strap mounting projection 9, and is otherwise substantially the same as the breast cup shown in FIG. The same reference numerals are given to the same portions, and the description of the overlapping portions is omitted. In addition, the thick part means that the thickness is increased in the skin side direction of the breast cup. Further, in this embodiment, the peripheral edge of the thick portion 11 is bordered by a groove 71 formed by hot press molding.

[0052] Women over the age of 40 generally tend to sag in the breast and decrease the volume at the upper part of the breast as they get older, and therefore tend to lose their breast shape. For a woman whose breast is sagged and the volume of the upper part of the breast is reduced, the breast cup of the embodiment shown in FIG. In addition to exhibiting a compensating function that can be brought closer to the side and bust-up, and by providing a thicker portion 11 in a part of the upper cup portion as in this embodiment, the portion where the volume of the upper part of the breast is reduced can be reduced It is possible to provide a breast cup having a function of compensating for a beautiful breast shape by supplementing with the thick portion 11. The breast cup is also effective for adjusting the shape of the breast of a woman who has cut off a portion of the meat above the breast due to breast cancer. Further, the thick portion 11 is located almost above the thick portion 11.
Has a groove 12 formed by hot press molding, which is substantially in line with a part of the outer shape of the surroundings, so that it is slightly flexible in the direction along this groove as if a folded groove was provided. As a result, the breast cup is more easily fitted to the breast. Also, the strap mounting projection 9
13, 1 formed by hot press molding in the width direction of
4, the portion also easily conforms to the shape of the human body, and a breast cup with further improved fit can be obtained. This means that the groove formed by hot press molding exhibits rigidity when a force that bends in the direction perpendicular to the length direction of the groove is exerted, but when the length direction of the groove is a boundary, It is considered that the upper and lower portions divided by the groove portion, as described above, are easily bent by a force that bends at the groove as a boundary.

Generally, a groove formed by hot press molding in the width direction of the strap mounting projection 9 is usually provided in the width direction of the strap mounting projection 9. To be provided in the width direction means to be provided in a direction substantially transverse to the width, and the number thereof is not particularly limited because it differs depending on the size and length of the width of the strap mounting projection 9, but is usually 1 to 3. About three may be sufficient.

When a groove like the above-described groove 12 in FIG. 4 is provided on an outer part of the thick part, it is difficult to specify it because it changes depending on the outer shape around the thick part. However, it is preferable to provide a groove having a shape substantially along a part of the outer shape around the thick part. It is like drawing contour lines on a map. The number of grooves differs depending on the outer shape and size of the thick part, the size, and where the thick part is located on the breast cup. It is.

A region where a thick portion is provided will be generally described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8
It is an explanatory view for generally explaining a field in which a thick part is provided in a breast cup of the present invention. FIG. 6 shows a case where the region where the thick part can be provided is the widest. In this case, the region where the thick part can be provided is, as described above, a line connecting the top part T of the breast cup or pad and the under bust U as a reference line x and the front center side centered on the top part T. A line forming an angle of 45 ° with the reference line x is defined as a line b, and a line forming an angle of 90 ° with the reference line x is defined as a line c on the side, and the line b intersects with the breast cup or pad hole 2. Is the area substantially above the VW line g (the area hatched in the drawing), where V is the intersection of the line 2 and the line c. Normally, the thickness of the entire area is not increased, but the thickness of an appropriate portion from within the area is increased according to the shape of the breast of the wearer. A thick portion should not be provided outside this region, that is, a portion from the lower side to the side of the breast cup (a region below the VW line g).

As described above, by providing a thick part, the volume of the upper part of the breast decreases due to aging of the breast and the breast of a woman with a small bust volume or breast cancer regardless of age. It is effective for beautifully adjusting the shape of the breast to give a rich feeling to women whose part of the breast has been removed by surgery. Although not particularly limited, usually, except for removing the entire breast by surgery for breast cancer, when partial resection is sufficient, the portion above the nipple or areola or below it. Many parts of the front center, such as the nipple and areola are resected.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the region where the thick portion is provided is within the region above the region defined by line b and line c (however, the top portion of the breast cup or pad). (Excluding the vicinity of the peripheral portion of FIG. 6), which is narrower than the region shown in FIG. Older breasts will sag and decrease the volume at the upper part of the breast, regardless of age, women who have a small bust volume, or women whose breasts have been partially resected by breast surgery such as breast cancer, etc. It is effective to make the shape beautiful and give a rich feeling. It can be said that this embodiment is larger in use frequency than the case of FIG.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the region where the thick part is provided forms an angle of 90 ° with the reference line x on the front center side about the top portion T of the breast cup or pad. This is in an area above the area defined by the line f and a line e that forms an angle of 105 ° with the reference line x on the side (excluding a portion near the periphery of the top portion of the breast cup or pad). In the case of this embodiment, the region where the thick part is provided is smaller than the region shown in FIG. Older breasts will sag and decrease the volume at the upper part of the breast, regardless of age, women who have a small bust volume, or women whose breasts have been partially resected by breast surgery such as breast cancer, etc. It is effective to make the shape beautiful and give a rich feeling. This embodiment is the most preferable and general in that it is much more versatile in terms of frequency of use than the case of FIG.
