Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a padded brassiere, and more particularly, to a padded brassiere that has an upper edge of a breast cup that can be expanded and contracted and has excellent wearability.
[0002]
[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, various padded bras that have a breast cup having an upper cup and a lower cup and in which pad portions are respectively provided on the upper cup and the lower cup have been proposed and marketed.
[0003]
Here, since there is a remarkable individual difference in the shape of the breast, in the current situation, a breast cup having a conventional uniform shape has not been obtained so as to fit the individual.
[0004]
On the other hand, there is a problem that the price becomes very high if a special order is made so as to fit the individual.
[0005]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a padded brassiere that is fit and can be fitted to an individual while being a standard product.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor has found that a padded brassiere using an elastic elastic sheet for the pad portion of the upper cup can achieve the above object.
[0007]
The present invention was made on the basis of the above findings, and includes a breast cup having an upper cup and a lower cup, and a padded brassiere in which pad portions are provided on the upper cup and the lower cup, At least the pad portion provided on the upper cup includes a stretchable sheet having elasticity, and an upper edge portion of the upper cup is configured to be stretchable. is there.
[0008]
The elastic stretch sheet is preferably stretched only in the longitudinal direction of the upper cup, that is, in the left-right direction of the breast cup, in order to fit the breast shape with individual differences and hold the breast. The elongation percentage of the material used for the stretchable sheet is greater than 100, preferably 200 or less, more preferably 150 or less, and particularly preferably 130 or less, assuming that the state before stretching is 100. A sheet exhibiting an excessively high elongation rate is not preferable because of poor shape retention of the breast.
[0009]
The elastic elastic sheet preferably includes a polyurethane sheet and may be a flexible polyurethane sheet alone, but a laminated sheet of an elastic polyurethane sheet and an elastic material, and the elastic polyurethane sheet is covered with an elastic material. The sheet | seat formed etc. can be mentioned preferably. Here, the stretchable material is not particularly limited as long as it has a stretchability that does not hinder the stretchability of the elastic stretchable sheet, but a knitted fabric such as a tricot or a bear tengu known in the art Can be preferably used. When using a material that extends only in one direction, such as tricot, it is particularly preferable to match the extending direction with the extending direction of the elastic stretch sheet.
[0010]
When using a laminated sheet of elastic elastic sheet and elastic material, the material that forms the upper cup (hereinafter abbreviated as upper cup forming material), the elasticity that does not hinder the elasticity of the laminated sheet It is preferable to use a material having As the upper cup forming material, a knitted fabric such as a knitted fabric, a tricot, a bear tengu, a two-weight ricot including a polyurethane elastic yarn can be preferably used. In this case, the upper cup-forming material is folded back to form a skin contact portion, and the remaining portion forms a skin non-contact portion that becomes the cup surface. Forming the upper cup so that the seam does not appear on the cup surface by interposing the laminated sheet between the parts and sewing the vicinity of the upper end of the skin contact part and the vicinity of the upper end of the laminated sheet. Is preferred. Alternatively, a stretchable decorative member such as a stretch lace may be attached near the upper end of the upper cup forming material. In this case, it is preferable that the stretchable decorative member is sewn not at a linear shape but at a few points so as not to hinder the stretchability of the laminated sheet.
[0011]
On the other hand, when using a sheet in which the upper part of the polyurethane sheet is covered with an elastic material as the elastic elastic sheet, near the upper end of the upper cup forming material and the elastic material covering the polyurethane It is only necessary to partially sew the vicinity of the upper end of the surface in contact with the upper cup forming material at a few points instead of a linear shape. In this case, it is preferable that the upper part of the polyurethane sheet and the upper cup-forming material are not sewn directly so as not to hinder the stretchability of the elastic polyurethane sheet at the upper edge of the upper cup.
[0012]
Further, when a polyurethane sheet is included as the elastic stretch sheet, the thickness of the polyurethane sheet is preferably 10 mm or less, and particularly preferably about 2.5 mm. When the thickness of the stretchable polyurethane sheet exceeds 10 mm, it is difficult to stretch and it is difficult to sew, which is not preferable.
[0013]
The material used for the pad portion of the lower cup is preferably a non-stretchable material in the vertical direction of the breast cup that is sufficient to hold the breast. Further, from the viewpoint of design, it is preferable that the elastic elastic sheet used for the pad portion of the upper cup is disposed and used so that the extending direction is the left-right direction of the lower cup. In this case, by providing a wire on the lower edge of the lower cup, it is possible to suppress the elasticity in the left-right direction of the elastic elastic sheet compared to the case of using the upper cup, and the wearer's It can exhibit non-stretchability (difficult to stretch) sufficient to hold the breast.
[0014]
According to the padded brassiere of the present invention, the upper cup (particularly the upper edge of the breast cup) stretches well so that it fits well into different breast shapes when worn, and the lower cup holds the breast it can. Moreover, since the elastic elastic sheet is used as the pad, the touch of contacting with the skin is very flexible and the wearing feeling is good. From these facts, the padded brassiere of the present invention has excellent wearability. In addition, it is possible to provide a padded brassiere that can be fitted to an individual at a low price as a standard product without changing the cup pattern according to the individual.
[0015]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the padded brassiere of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0016]
Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the padded brassiere of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a II-II cross section of FIG.
