BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a breast cup material, a breast cup using the same, and clothing having the breast cup. In particular, the present invention is excellent in correspondence to the shape of the breast with individual differences, has a good feeling of familiarity, and has a sense of correction, in order to provide a breast cup excellent in shaping, breast cup material, using it The present invention relates to a breast cup and a garment having the breast cup.

[0002]

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,
It has a role in shaping its shape, and women's clothing having such a breast cup, specifically, for example, bras, swimwear, leotards, body suits, bra slips,
Other garments with breast cups are widely used as clothing for women.

As a breast cup material for these breast cups, a nonwoven fabric, a polyurethane foam, or a laminate of these with a woven or knitted fabric has been most often used. (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 61-155309, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 62-3)
No. 6801, Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. Hei 7-26305) As a result of the present inventors conducting a survey using a questionnaire or the like for a general wearer of clothes having a breast cup, the wearer of the clothes having the breast cup has the following characteristics. As a judgment as to whether the breast cup of the clothing to be worn is suitable for the wearer, there is a sense of volume, the feeling of familiarity between the breast and the cup is good, and to a certain extent the breast is acted on by the breast cup It was found that there was a sense of correction that the shape was adjusted, and that it was judged that the one having the shaping power was suitable as a preferable breast cup. Also, those who are not satisfied with the shape of their breasts want to be able to retain the beautiful breast cup shape originally designed with breast cups by wearing clothing with breast cups.

A conventional breast cup will be described with a typical example of a bra.

FIG. 17 is a perspective view of a brassier having a breast cup of the type known as a two-piece joint, which has been partially cut away. In the case of this example, the breast cup 331 is a portion of the joint 334 where the upper cup portion 332 and the lower cup portion 333 pass through the vicinity of the apex of the bulge of the cup from the front center side cup portion to the side portion of the cup. The cups are joined so that the bulges come out and are rounded. In addition, 335 has shown the base fabric of a bra.

FIG. 18 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ of the portion of the brassiere shown in FIG. In FIG. 18, reference numeral 340 denotes a breast cup material. In this case, an upper breast cup material 340a and a lower breast cup material 340b are joined at a position of a sewing line 334b. The breast cup 331 may be composed only of the breast cup material 340, but when the breast cup material 340 is composed of a non-woven fabric, a polyurethane foam, or a laminate of these and a woven or knitted fabric, usually, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric or a lace or these A front cup member 341 made of a combination of the above is provided. In this example, the upper cup member 341a and the lower table cup member 341 are used.
b are joined by a joint 334. 336, 33
Reference numerals 7 and 337 'denote sewing lines at the joints. 338 is a bias tape, and 344 and 345 are sewing lines of the breast cup material 340 and the front cup member 341.

The flexibility of the breast cup material 340 depends on, for example, the basis weight (weight per 1 m ² ) in the case of a non-woven fabric, the type of a fiber material, or the amount of a binder, and in the case of a polyurethane foam, the expansion ratio ( It is adjusted according to the apparent density, etc., and a suitable grade such as a soft grade or a slightly hard grade is adopted according to the purpose.
Note that the cross-sectional structure of the breast cup shown in FIG. 18 is an example, and various types of breast cups are made according to the purpose, for example, the one without the upper breast cup material 340a.

In addition, the aforementioned Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-155309.
For example, it has been proposed to increase the thickness of the lower breast cup material to give the breast a push-up property.

[0009]

By the way, in the case of using a material which has been used more frequently as the breast cup material, a softer material can be used to obtain a breast cup with a satisfactory feeling of familiarity. There is a problem that it lacks feeling and modeling power. As described above, the correction feeling corresponds to a feeling of satisfaction having a feeling that the breast is moderately stressed by the breast cup and the breast is arranged in a beautiful shape. The molding power is designed as a breast cup, for example, originally designed to be a specific desirable beautiful shape, even in the wearing state, it is kept as designed as possible, the appearance shape of the breast cup front side is kept beautiful, As a result, when the wearer's bust shape is beautifully arranged when viewed from the outside, it is said that the wearer has shaping power. In addition, it is said that the breast cup has a shape-retaining property in the sense that deformation of the outer shape of the breast cup is small. If a soft material is used, if expressed sensuously, the material is too small in shape retention under stress, cannot withstand a certain load, and will be deformed considerably to the front side of the breast cup with "gunny" There is a problem to say. Even if a non-woven fabric or polyurethane foam with moderate flexibility and hardness is used, if a certain part is stressed, the stress is not only relatively close to the stressed part but also over a considerably wide range. Under the influence, not only the vicinity where the stress is applied but also a slightly wide area including the surface where the stress is applied and the surface on the opposite side tend to be entirely deformed.

On the other hand, if a relatively hard material is used, the correction feeling and the molding force are satisfied, but even if a certain load is applied, the material tends to maintain its shape due to a reaction.
Alternatively, there is a problem that a repulsion force is large due to a reaction due to a cushioning property or the like, and therefore, a feeling of familiarity is lacking. Also, if the shape of the breast cup and the shape of the breast do not match, there will be a gap in the part with less breast volume,
There is also a problem that a part having a large breast volume receives an excessive stress, and the feeling of familiarity and correction is not satisfied. For example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-155309, it is possible to increase the thickness of the lower breast cup material to give the breast a push-up property, but it is possible to increase the thickness of the cup material and slightly harden the portion. Therefore, there is a problem that the repulsive force is large, and therefore, the feeling of familiarity is lacking, and the breast originally has a three-dimensional three-dimensional shape.
When trying to compensate by a surface close to the dimension, if the shape of the breast is worn by a person who does not fit such a cup shape,
There is a problem that not only the familiarity is not good, but also that the external shape of the breast cup cannot be maintained in the desired beautiful shape originally intended due to the repulsion between the breast and the breast cup material.

The present invention solves the problems which cannot be achieved by the breast cup using the conventional breast cup material, and provides a feeling of familiarity, a feeling of shaping and satisfying the shaping power. It is an object of the present invention to provide a breast cup and a garment having the breast cup. In other words, the thickness and shape of the breast surface of the breast cup material can be freely changed according to the shape of the breast, resulting in a three-dimensional shape of various breasts, such as a large or small breast volume or a hanging bust. Fits well and keeps the ideal beautiful cup outer shape without changing the modeling of the front side of the breast cup too much, the repulsion is eased,
An object of the present invention is to provide a breast cup material for a breast cup having a familiar feeling, a breast cup using the same, and clothing having the breast cup.

[0012]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the breast cup material of the present invention has low resilience, and the surface on the side where the stress is applied has a relatively short viscosity in response to the stress. a breast cup member made of a material having a property of mitigating the elastically deformed stress, as the material, a porous material selected from a nonwoven fabric and plastic foam having a flexible, porous materials Characterized in that a material impregnated with 10 to 50% by weight based on the weight of the adhesive is used .

[0013] Since the breast cup material of the present invention uses the above-mentioned material, wearing a garment having a breast cup using the breast cup material of the present invention allows the breast cup material to be subjected to stress. In other words, when stress is applied from the skin side by the breast, the stressed portion does not significantly change the shape of the front side of the breast cup and its skin side is visco-elastically swollen according to the three-dimensional shape of the breast. Deformation, the stress in the portion to which the stress is applied is alleviated with time, and the repulsive force is alleviated. Therefore, a good feeling of familiarity is achieved, the beautiful breast cup outer shape is maintained without changing the modeling on the front side of the breast cup, and a moderate correction feeling is achieved. Since the shape of the front side of the breast cup hardly changes, the shape of the front side of the desired breast cup originally designed is almost maintained, and a beautiful bust shape can be achieved. As the repulsion of the part pressed and compressed by the breast is reduced, the repulsion is not reduced as in the conventional breast cup material, and the repulsion acts as much as it is pressed by the breast, resulting in a familiar feeling and a feeling of wearing. It does not drop. Alternatively, there is little risk that the breast cup is pushed out in the front direction due to the reaction of the repulsive force applied to the breast, and the breast cup front side shape is considerably deformed. In addition, if a conventional breast cup material is used and a flexible material having a small repulsion is used, the resilience is small and the familiar feeling is good, but the formability and the shape retention are small, and as described above, the Deformation, deformation due to stress greatly affects the surface on the side opposite to the side where the stress was applied,
The problem that the front side shape of the originally designed breast cup cannot be maintained and a beautiful bust shape cannot be achieved is also improved. Even if a non-woven fabric or polyurethane foam having moderate flexibility and hardness is used, it will not be deformed viscoelastically in a short time. There is also a problem that the stress is affected not only in the vicinity but also in a considerably wide range, and not only in the vicinity of the stress but also in a slightly wide range, including the stressed surface and the opposite surface, as a whole. Be improved.

In order to make it easier to understand what has been described above, a further description will be given with reference to the schematic diagrams of FIGS. 9, 10 and 11. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating a breast cup using the breast cup material of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a schematic view for explaining a change in cross-sectional shape due to stress of the breast cup using the breast cup material of the present invention, and a state of stress relaxation. FIG. The left side of the figure is the front side of the breast cup, and the right side of the figure is the skin side of the breast cup. This is the same in FIGS. 10 and 11. And the cross-sectional shape of the actual breast cup is essentially semi-spherical in nature, but here, unlike the cross-sectional shape of the actual breast cup,
For easy understanding, the surface on the side where no deformation occurs or the deformation is small is shown by a plane. The curved portion indicates that deformation has occurred. This is the same in FIGS. 10 and 11.

In FIG. 9, reference numeral 1 denotes a breast cup material of the present invention, and reference numeral 2 denotes a front cup member made of woven fabric, knitted fabric, lace, or the like. Arrow 3 indicates the direction of the applied stress. When the stress 3 is applied from the skin side, the stress 3
The portion to which is added does not deform the shape of the front side of the breast cup or the deformation is relatively small, while the skin side is dented and the stress of the portion where the stress is applied is alleviated with time, The repulsion is reduced. As a result, a good feeling of familiarity is achieved, the beautiful outer shape intended for the original breast cup can be almost maintained without changing the modeling on the front side of the breast cup, and a moderate correction feeling is achieved. In addition, since the deformation of the skin side surface is deformed according to the stress, it is deformed along the three-dimensional shape of the breast, so that it can be worn in any form of breast according to the shape.

FIG. 10 shows a change in the cross-sectional shape due to the stress of the breast cup when the conventional hard breast cup material 1a is used.
FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining a repulsive force. The repulsive force is not alleviated, and the repulsive force 4 acts to strongly press the breast, so that the feeling of familiarity and wearing is reduced.
If a pressing force is applied to the breast that is no more deformable, the escape area of the repulsive force acts on the front side of the breast cup, and the breast cup is deformed outward by the repulsive force.

FIG. 11 shows a conventional breast cup material having excellent flexibility, or a stress caused by a breast cup material 1c such as a nonwoven fabric or polyurethane foam having moderate flexibility and hardness. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining a change in cross-sectional shape and a repulsive force.
When a breast cup material with excellent flexibility is used, the repulsion does not act so strongly, so the familiarity is good, but the formability,
Since the shape retention is small, the shape is deformed as described above, and the front cup member 2 on the surface opposite to the surface to which the stress is applied is considerably deformed by the stress. The shape on the front side of the cup cannot be maintained, and a beautiful bust shape cannot be achieved. When a breast cup material 1c such as a nonwoven fabric or a polyurethane foam having moderate flexibility and hardness is used, resilience acts in accordance with the hardness of the breast cup material 1c. The stress is affected not only in the vicinity of the stressed part but also in a considerably large area, and not only in the area where the stress is applied but also on the opposite side, not only in the vicinity where the stress is applied but also in a rather wide area. It can be understood that the object of the present invention, in which the skin side surface of the breast cup material is deformed in a shape fitting the three-dimensional shape of the breast, cannot be achieved.

A breast cup using the breast cup material of the present invention can change the thickness of the skin side of the breast cup material freely according to the three-dimensional shape of the breast without changing the modeling of the front side of the breast cup. A breast cup that fits well into shapes such as large and small volumes and a hanging bust without causing excessive gaps or protrusions, and that maintains the beautiful breast cup outer shape and has excellent moldability and shape retention. Schematic diagram of the state before and after wearing of clothing having a breast cup in this regard,
That is, the description will be made with reference to FIGS. Note that FIG.
In FIG. 16, (a) is a side view of the human body near the breast in a nude state, and (b) is a side view in a state where a garment having a breast cup using the breast cup material of the present invention is worn (however, The breast cup is shown in cross section.)
13 to 16, reference numeral 131 denotes a breast, 132
Indicates a part of the arm, 1 indicates a breast cup material of the present invention, and 2 indicates a front cup member. In addition, FIG. 12 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of an example of a breast cup using the breast cup material of the present invention in a state before wearing, in correspondence with this schematic diagram. 1 is a breast cup material of the present invention, and 2 is a front cup member. still,
Although the details of the sewing state of the cross section are not particularly limited, for example, in FIG. 18 shown as a conventional example, only the breast cup material of the present invention is used instead of the breast cup material 340 (340a and 340b), Since the essential structures are almost the same, FIG. 18 can be referred to as an example of details of the sewing structure in the cross section. The structure is not limited to this structure.

The example shown in FIG. 13 (a) shows a conical breast, which is said to be the most common form among relatively young Japanese mature women.
As shown in FIG. 13 (b), when wearing clothes having a breast cup using the breast cup material 1 of the present invention,
The skin side of the breast cup material 1 of the present invention in the portion to be compressed by the breast is easily deformed and dented according to the shape of the breast, but the repulsive force is quickly relaxed with the passage of time and the familiarity is good. The stressed part is compressed, but the stress is relieved and the state is maintained, so the repulsive force always acts during wearing as in the case of using a conventional hard breast cup material, making it less familiar. There is no saying that the feeling of wearing is inferior. In addition, since the skin side surface of the breast cup material is deformed according to the three-dimensional shape of the breast, it can be worn without any gap between the breast cup and the breast. In addition, the external shape of the breast cup can substantially maintain the desired beautiful shape. Therefore, as in the case where the conventional soft breast cup material is used, the breast cup material is deformed as "gunya", and the front cup member 1 cannot support the desired beautiful shape, and the breast cup is considerably deformed. The problem that the external shape cannot be maintained can also be improved.

Next, FIG. 14 shows a breast cup material 1 according to the present invention in which a woman having a drooping breast with a small volume at the upper part of the breast is used.
FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram when a garment having a breast cup using a garment is worn, and FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram when a woman with a large breast volume wears a garment having a breast cup using the breast cup material 1 of the present invention. 16 is a schematic diagram when a woman having a flat breast with a small breast volume wears clothing having a breast cup using the breast cup material 1 of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 14, when a woman having a hanging breast 131 having a small volume at the upper part of the breast wears a garment having a breast cup using the breast cup material 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 14 (b), the breast cup material 1 of the present invention in the portion compressed by the lower breasts is easily deformed and compressed to become thin, but the repulsive force is reduced with time. The breast cup material 1 of the present invention compensates for the volume of the upper part of the breast with a small volume, and the cup is compensated for the lack of volume of the upper cup part. It reaches the breast without gaps, and the shape of the front side of the breast cup maintains the desired beautiful shape.

As shown in FIG. 15, when a woman with a large breast 131 wears a garment having a breast cup using the breast cup material 1 of the present invention, FIG. As shown in (1), almost the entire part of the breast cup material 1 of the present invention is compressed by the breast. However, the repulsive force is quickly alleviated with the passage of time, so that the familiarity is improved, the feeling of wearing is not reduced, and the clothes having the breast cup can be worn comfortably. In addition, even if the breast volume is large, the deformation due to the pressure does not reach the front side and the stress is relieved, so that the shape of the front side of the brassiere can maintain almost the desired beautiful shape.

As shown in FIG. 16, when a woman having a flat breast 131 having a small breast volume wears a garment having a breast cup using the breast cup material 1 of the present invention, As shown in (b),
Since the breast cup material 1 of the present invention acts to fill the small volume of the breast, the shortage of the overall breast volume can be compensated for by the thickness of the breast cup material 1 of the present invention, and the bra can be attached to the breast without any gap. . Accordingly, the lack of volume of the breast is compensated, and the shape of the front side of the bra keeps the desired beautiful shape and satisfies the sense of volume, and the breast cup material 1 is in contact with the breast 131.
The correction feeling can also be satisfied.

As described above, the breast cup using the breast cup material of the present invention can be fitted according to the volume of the breast and the shape of the breast. Therefore, it is possible to increase the size coverage rate that a certain type of size breast cup can cover. Moreover, the external shape of the breast cup can substantially maintain the desired beautiful external shape. Further, even if there is a difference in the shape and size of the left and right breasts, the outer shapes of the left and right breast cups can be kept substantially the same. Even those who have difficulty fitting breast cups (for example, those who have breasts like flat breasts or drooping breasts) can be worn and have a beautiful external shape. In addition, even a person whose breast is relatively hard and a breast cup is difficult to fit can be worn without strongly compressing the breast or forming a gap between the breast cup and the breast. In addition, even if the same person, the volume of the breast may change in the menstrual cycle, but the breast cup can be worn so that the outer shape can be kept almost the same at any time. Also,
There is no uncomfortable feeling when wearing a thick breast cup material with a conventional breast cup material.

[0033]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The breast cup material of the present invention comprises 10 to 50% by weight of a porous material selected from a flexible nonwoven fabric and a plastic foam , based on the weight of the porous material.
Low resilience made of a material impregnated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, has the property that the surface on the side where the stress is applied deforms viscoelastically in a relatively short time in response to the stress and relieves the stress. It is made of a material having a shape-retaining property on the surface on the side opposite to the surface to which deformation is relatively unlikely to be deformed by stress, and is usually, but not limited to, a sheet. The thickness may not be uniform, but even if it is a sheet having a substantially uniform thickness, by sewing around the outer cup member with sewing lines 344 and 345 as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the peripheral thickness becomes relatively thin. And, as for the thickness of the breast cup material, if it is too thin, the above-mentioned function cannot be sufficiently exhibited, and if it is too thick,
The feeling of wearing is reduced and the appearance is inferior.
mm, and preferably about 5 to 30 mm. Here, the thickness of the breast cup material is the thickness of the thickest part when the thickness is not uniform.

As a material used for the breast cup material, a porous material selected from a nonwoven fabric having flexibility and a plastic foam may be added in an amount of 10 to 50% by weight based on the weight of the porous material.
% Of a material that is impregnated with an adhesive.
The surface on which the stress is applied has the property of deforming viscoelastically in a relatively short time in response to the stress and relaxing the stress, and the surface opposite to the surface on which the stress is applied is deformed by the stress Or a material that has a small deformation and small shape retention. With only nonwoven fabric or polyurethane foam that has been conventionally used as a breast cup material, if it is harder as described above, the resilience will be large, or if the breast is applied to the breast cup material, it will temporarily respond to the stress. Even if it is depressed, it does not have the property of viscoelastically deforming and relaxing stress in a relatively short time, so in the wearing state it will remain in a state where strong stress is applied, and the stress will not be relieved much, A sufficient familiarity cannot be obtained. Conversely, when a fairly soft material is used, the resilience is small and the feeling of familiarity is good, but the shape retention is small, and as described above, it is deformed as “gunya,” and the stressed side Since the deformation due to the stress considerably extends to the surface opposite to the surface, it is impossible to maintain the outer shape of the originally designed breast cup, and it is not possible to achieve a beautiful bust shape.

As the porous material having flexibility, the aforementioned
A non-woven fabric or a relatively flexible plastic foam is used . Examples of the plastic foam include those having elasticity and flexibility, such as polyurethane foam, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer foam, and polyester elastomer foam.

As the non-woven fabric, non-woven fabrics of various synthetic fibers, semi-synthetic fibers, and natural fibers can be used. However, the use of a non-woven fabric made of hollow fibers is preferable since the set is less likely to be set when impregnated with an adhesive. Also, the resulting breast cup material is neither too hard nor too soft,
Accordingly, a breast cup material having excellent properties in which the formability, the shape retention, the low resilience, and the stress relaxation rate are all well-balanced can be obtained, which is particularly preferable. The hollow fibers are preferably 50% by weight or more of the weight of the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric. Of course, the hollow fiber may be 100% by weight. In addition, it is preferable to contain a crimped fiber (either an actual or latent crimped fiber) because bulkiness can be maintained. Most preferred are those containing hollow crimped fibers. Basis weight of nonwoven fabrics is usually expressed 10 to 300 g / m ^2, more preferably nonwoven 40~250g / m ² is preferably used.

When a plastic foam is used, it is usually preferable to use a foam having an apparent density of 10 to 95 kg / m ³ , more preferably 15 to 85 kg / m ³ .

In particular, a nonwoven fabric is preferable because it has good discoloration resistance, air permeability, and washing resistance, and can be finished into a cup having a good touch. In addition, a nonwoven fabric or a plastic foam having a woven or knitted material laminated on at least one surface thereof is more preferably used in terms of strength and feel.

When the breast cup material of the present invention is made of a porous material having the above flexibility and impregnated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, specific examples of the pressure-sensitive adhesive to be used include, for example, a silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive and an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. Preferred examples include a pressure-sensitive adhesive and a rubber pressure-sensitive adhesive. Among these, silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesives are particularly preferable in terms of washing resistance, weather resistance, low irritation to the skin, and the above-mentioned specific properties are easily exhibited.

When a material composed of a combination of a porous material and an adhesive as described above is used, the mechanism is not clear, but the viscoelastic properties are compared by impregnation with the adhesive. It is presumed that the effect is exerted in a short time, the stress dispersibility of the porous material is enhanced, and therefore the influence of the stress on the opposite surface is relatively easily alleviated, the rebound is low, and the familiarity is improved. .

In the case of using a combination of materials as described above, the ratio between the porous material having flexibility and the adhesive is different depending on the type of the porous material and the type of the adhesive used. The weight of the adhesive is 1
It will be in the range of 0 to 50% by weight.

The breast cup material used in the present invention as described above is more preferable because a breast cup material having a density of 0.2 g / cm ³ or less can provide a lightweight breast cup.

The restoration time of the dent after releasing the compressive stress of the breast cup material, that is, when the breast cup material is dented by applying a compressive stress, the measurement of the restoration time of the dent after the release of the compressive stress is measured by a rheometer ( The measurement was performed using a model J series manufactured by Fudo Kogyo Co., Ltd., product number NRM-2010J-CW) according to a measurement method as shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining a part of the apparatus for measuring the restoration time of the dent after releasing the compressive stress of the breast cup material and the measurement state.

In FIG. 8, a rheometer (not shown)
A jig 84 having a rigid solid plastic (acrylic resin) columnar member 83 having a diameter of 15 mm and a length of 50 mm and having a rod-shaped mounting portion 82 at one end. The sample 86 is mounted on a vertically movable steel sample mounting table 85 mounted on a rheometer, and then the sample mounting table 85 is moved upward at a speed of 6 cm / min. 8A, the sample 86 is pressed against the jig 84 to compress the sample 86, and the sample 86 is compressed until a state in which the compression does not proceed any more (hereinafter referred to as an extremely compressed state). 8
(B)] Then, the sample mounting table 84 is quickly lowered downward to release the compressive stress [FIG. 8 (c)], and the thickness of the sample in the depressed portion becomes the sample thickness a (mm) before measurement. ), That is, when the depth of the dent is 0.2 × a (m
The time (unit: seconds) required to reach m) is measured.
This time is defined as the restoration time of the dent after releasing the compressive stress of the breast cup material.
