Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pad attached to a cup of female clothing with a cup and a so-called putted type female clothing with a cup.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a brassiere as a foundation garment, which is a typical example of women's clothing with a cup, a pad is often attached for the purpose of increasing the volume. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-41207, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-176904, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 5-46902, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 7-6218, and the like have been proposed in order to fit the breast appropriately in use (wearing state). These pads have a crescent or boomerang shape and are devised to generally follow the "cup cup".
[0003]
Moreover, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-229206 is known as a conventional example that pays attention not only to the form at the time of use but also to the form at the time of non-use (non-wearing state). In this pad, a bent portion is provided at an intermediate portion so that the pad can be easily different in a worn state and a non-weared state.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional pad having a crescent or boomerang shape has a drawback that the wearer receives a feeling of pressure even though the volume is not sufficiently increased. On the other hand, the conventional pad provided with a bent portion at the intermediate portion has a drawback that a foreign object feeling and a strange feeling are remarkable. This is because the bent part (especially the upper end), which tends to be a relatively hard material, touches the breast (especially the sensitive nipple), and it is particularly difficult to endure during exercise such as when the wearer raises his arm. It becomes.
[0005]
In general, the pad material may be made flexible in order to reduce the foreign object feeling and the uncomfortable feeling. However, this reduces the original function of the pad, ie, volume up. Moreover, even if the material is flexible, the feeling of pressure cannot be basically eliminated. Since the flexible material is inferior in formability, it is difficult to create a target bust line.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to provide a pad that solves such problems and a padded-type female garment with a cup.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is a pad that is attached to a cup part of a female garment with a cup and has a thick part made of a material having flexibility and elasticity to perform a volume-up function, and from a side part to an intermediate part. The lower edge is curved into a smooth convex shape toward the front center part, the upper edge of the intermediate part is tied into a concave shape, and the width of the intermediate part is narrower than the width of either the side part or the front center part It is characterized by.
[0008]
According to the pad of the present invention, the lower edge is curved into a smooth convex shape, so that it fits along the “cup” of the female clothing with a cup. Moreover, since the upper edge of the intermediate portion is constricted in a concave shape, a space is formed in which the nipple and its lower portion can be accommodated without being pressed in the worn state. Moreover, since the width of the middle part is narrower than the width of either the side part or the front center part, the breast is pushed from both lower sides of the top area to increase the volume, and the pad bends at the middle part. It easily deforms along the three-dimensional shape of the cup, and the cup and the pad are integrated to wrap the bust. Therefore, the volume is increased by bringing the entire bust to the center (near the nipple) without giving the wearer a sense of incongruity.
[0009]
The pad according to the present invention may be characterized in that the volume of the side portion is larger than the volume of the front center portion, and in this way, the bust side-by-side function is further improved.
[0010]
The pad according to the present invention may be characterized in that a thin molded part is further provided on the upper edge side from the side part to the middle part through the intermediate part. Although the thin-walled portion slightly disturbs the bending at the central portion, the volume can be increased without making the wearer feel uncomfortable by forming the thin-walled portion with a flexible material.
[0011]
In addition, it is good also as clothing for women with a padded cup by which said pad is previously attached to the cup part. According to this, since the cup and the pad are integrated in advance, the cup portion is easily bent at the intermediate portion, and the entire bust is wrapped without giving the wearer a sense of incongruity, thereby realizing an increase in volume.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Prior to the description of specific pad embodiments, the process of study leading to the completion of the present invention will be described.
[0013]
The pad is used for the purpose of raising the volume of the bust, but the wearer does not like the feeling of pressure, foreign body feeling, or uncomfortable feeling caused by wearing the pad. There is no presence of the pad, you can arrange the bust beautifully, and you want a pad or bra that fits perfectly in your chest. However, if the pad volume-up function is to be increased, it is inevitable that the feeling of pressure or discomfort will occur and the texture will be lowered, which is in a trade-off relationship.
[0014]
In order to respond to such conflicting demands, the present inventor measured the “burst” of the bust of the human body with a cute monitor device (a device that sucks the skin at a low pressure and estimates the firmness by the degree of suction). There are a total of 7 monitors, body stages 1 to 3 (19 to 26 years old, 27 to 36 years old, 37 to 49 years old), the lower part of the bust top (nipple), the upper part, the side part, the front Four skins near the center were aspirated, and their elasticity was measured to obtain an average value. As a result, assuming that the elasticity of the lower part of the bust top is 100%, the upper part is about 50%, the side part is about 70%, and the front center part is about 70%, which is a big difference between the seven monitors. It turns out that there is no.
[0015]
Based on such knowledge, the inventor relatively reduces the pad volume in the lower portion of the bust top, while relatively increasing the pad volume in the side portion and the front center portion, I thought it would be possible to achieve sufficient bust-up while reducing the feeling of oppression and discomfort.
[0016]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same element and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.
[0017]
1A and 1B show a pad according to an embodiment, where FIG. 1A is a front view and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along line A1-A2. The outer edge (the edge of the planar extension) of the pad 1 is defined by a thin portion 11 having a very small width, but the main volume-up function portion is a thick portion 12 whose outer edge is indicated by a dotted line. The thick part 12 is made of a material having flexibility and elasticity, and the thickness is the same from the side part to the middle part through the middle part.
[0018]
The planar shape of the pad 1 will be described. The lower edge of the pad 1 is from the side part ("side" in the figure) to the middle part ("center" in the figure) and the part near the front center ("front" in the figure). It is curved into a smooth convex shape. This curved shape is along the “cup cup”, and corresponds to a line along the cup wire (a so-called barges line) in the wire foam type brassiere. The upper edge of the intermediate portion of the pad 1 is constricted in a concave shape, and the upper edges of the side portion and the front center portion on both sides are curved into smooth convex shapes.
[0019]
Furthermore, what is characteristic of the planar shape of the pad 1 according to the present embodiment is that the width of the intermediate portion is narrower than either the side portion or the front center portion (70 to 10%, preferably 70 to 70%). 40% width). And when the relative volume of the side part and the front center part is compared relative to the middle part, the side part has a volume of less than about 40%, and the side part and the front part are closer to the middle part. When compared with the length, the side portion is formed to be longer than about 50%.
[0020]
According to the pad 1 of the present embodiment, the lower edge is curved in a smooth convex shape, so that it is stored in a pad storage pocket (not shown) provided in the cup portion of the female clothing with a cup. And positioned along the cup. For this reason, a well-balanced contact feeling that does not partially feel the presence of the pad 1 in the worn state, a sense of stability supported by the entire bust, and a sense of unity in which the pad 1 is aligned with the cup It is done.
[0021]
In addition, since the upper edge of the intermediate part is constricted in a concave shape, and the width of the intermediate part is constricted to such a degree that it is narrower than either the side part or the front center part, Furthermore, a space (a space due to constriction) is formed in which a portion closer to the lower portion of the nipple (the portion having the highest elasticity in the breast) is accommodated without receiving pressure from the pad 1 or the like. For this reason, a wearer becomes difficult to feel a feeling of oppression and a sense of incongruity, and the touch feeling of the so-called pad 1 is improved.
[0022]
In addition, since the middle part is confined and both side parts (side and front center parts) are molded in a large volume, the bust is increased in volume from both the side and front center sides. And since the volume of the side part is made larger than the volume of the part near the front center, the side-by-side function of the bust is further improved.
[0023]
Furthermore, since the intermediate portion is constricted and the width is narrower than the both side portions, the pad 1 is easily bent at the intermediate portion. For this reason, in the wearing state, the cup deforms along the three-dimensional shape of the cup, and the cup and the pad 1 integrally wrap up the bust, so that the entire bust is centered (near the nipple) without giving the wearer a sense of incongruity. To increase the volume.
[0024]
2A to 2D show a modification of the pad 1 shown in FIG. In any of the modifications, (1) the lower edge is curved in a smooth convex shape so as to follow the cup, (2) the upper edge of the middle part is constricted in a concave shape, (3) the middle part Are formed narrower than both sides, and (4) the volume of the side portion is larger than the volume of the front center portion.
[0025]
The difference is that the pad 1 in FIG. 2 (a) has a middle portion that is widely and widely bounded from the upper edge, and the pad 1 in FIG. The pad 1 in FIG. 2C is widely bounded in a generally rectangular shape at the intermediate portion, and the pad 1 in FIG. 4D is bounded in a substantially triangular shape in which the inlet is narrowed in the intermediate portion.
[0026]
In any case, a space for accommodating the lower portion of the nipple having the highest elasticity in the breast is formed by constricting the intermediate portion. And since it becomes easy to bend the pad 1 in an intermediate part, it deform | transforms along the solid shape of a cup in a wearing state, and the cup and the pad 1 will wrap up a bust integrally.
[0027]
3A to 3D show another modification of the pad 1 shown in FIG. In any of the modifications, as in FIG. 2, (1) the lower edge is curved into a smooth convex shape along the cup, and (2) the upper edge of the intermediate portion is constricted into a concave shape. (3) Common in each point that the intermediate portion is formed narrower than both sides.
[0028]
3 (a) to 3 (c) are characterized in that in FIG. 3 (a), the volume of the side part is equal to the volume of the front center part, and the length of the side part is also equivalent to the front center part. In FIG. 6B, the side part is larger in volume than the front center part, whereas the side part part is shorter than the front center part. In (c), the volume of the side part is smaller than the volume of the front center part, and the length of the side part is shorter than the front center part.
[0029]
4A and 4B show a pad 1 according to another embodiment, in which FIG. 4A is a front view and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along line B1-B2. The pad 1 is composed of a thin portion 11 and a thick portion 12 whose outer edge is shown by a dotted line, and the thick portion 12 mainly has a pad function of bust volume up. For the thick part 12, (1) the lower edge is curved into a smooth convex shape from the side part to the middle part through the middle part, and (2) the upper edge of the middle part is tied to the concave shape. (3) The width of the middle part is narrower than the width of either the side part or the front center part, and (4) the volume of the side part is made larger than the volume of the front part. It is equivalent to the embodiment shown in FIG.
[0030]
The difference is that a thinly molded thin portion 11 is provided in a wide range on the upper edge side from the side portion of the pad 1 through the intermediate portion to the front center portion. In such a case, the thin-walled portion 11 will somewhat prevent the bending at the center portion, but by forming the thin-walled portion 11 with a flexible material, the volume can be increased without giving the wearer a sense of incongruity. it can.
[0031]
5A and 5B show a modification of the pad 1 shown in FIG. In any of the modifications, in the thick portion 12 that retains the pad function, (1) the lower edge is curved into a smooth convex shape along the cup, and (2) the upper edge of the intermediate portion is concave. (3) The middle part is formed narrower than both sides, and (4) the volume of the side part is larger than the volume of the front part. This is also common in that the thin portion 11 spreads on the upper edge side of the thick portion 12.
[0032]
The difference is in the range where the thin-walled portion 11 is widened. In FIG. 5 (a), the upper edge from the side portion toward the middle portion through the middle portion becomes a smooth convex shape. ) Has a shape that protrudes upward in the middle part (a shape that fits a full cup type cup). Even in such a case, by selecting the material and thickness of the thin-walled portion 11, it is possible to increase the volume without causing the wearer to feel uncomfortable.
[0033]
When the pad according to the present invention is attached to the cup part in advance, that is, in the female garment with a padded cup, the cup and the pad are integrated in advance. Wrapping up the entire bust without giving a sense of incongruity to the person, and increasing the volume. There are two types of putted cups, a contact type and an integral molding type, but the present invention is suitable for both types.
[0034]
A brassiere as a representative example of such women's clothing with a cup is composed of a pair of left and right cup parts, a base part including a front center part to a side cloth part, a back part continuing from the back side of the base part, and a cup part. A shoulder strap spanned between the upper edge portion and the back portion is configured as a main part. And it is desirable to provide the cup wire part which incorporated the cup wire in the lower edge of the cup part.
[0035]
The applicant made a prototype of the type of bra shown in FIG. 1 and examined the product performance. The monitor is C70, BSI (body stage I) is 19 to 24 years old, BSII is 6 to 27 to 36 years old, BSIII is 37 to 49 years old and 3 people are 37 to 49 years old. went. When the photograph was taken while wearing and the three-dimensional moldability was compared by moire interference fringes, it was confirmed that the volume increase and the lifting effect were comparable to the conventional product.
[0036]
In addition, when asked for comments on the feeling of wearing on the monitor, 13 out of 16 responded that they would like to wear a prototype, and 3 responded that it was difficult to wear both of them. From the name, for example, (1) I don't feel the presence of a pad (like wearing a thick padded brassiere), (2) There is little feeling of pressure by the pad, and there is no feeling of being pressed, etc. was gotten.
[0037]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, and various aspects are possible. For example, in addition to a brassiere as a foundation garment, the present invention can be applied to those having a cup part and a base part. It can also be applied to a front hook-type brassiere that connects the front center with a detachable hook. The bone member may be provided by bonding and welding to the front side of the cup part 1 and the base part 2.
[0038]
【The invention's effect】
Since the pad of the present invention has a constriction in the middle portion and is formed to be narrower than both sides, the bust can be increased in volume from below both sides of the top region. For this reason, while creating a beautiful and plentiful bust line, it is possible to realize an excellent wearing feeling that does not give the wearer a feeling of pressure, discomfort, or foreign matter.
