Description

  The present invention relates to improvement of women's underwear having a pair of left and right cups such as a brassiere and a camisole.

  The desire to make her body look more beautiful and beautiful is a major concern for women. In particular, there is a strong demand for a beautiful bust shape, and many women's underwear with cups have been developed and provided by underwear manufacturers.

  By the way, there are roughly two types of women's underwear with a cup (hereinafter, a bra is taken as a representative example). One is a brassiere with a wire provided with a wire on the lower edge of the cup (usually called a barges line) (see Patent Document 1), and the other is a wireless (non-wireless) in which such a wire does not exist. Wire) brassiere (see Patent Document 2).

  A brassiere with a wire is designed to support the bust firmly from below by routing the wire provided along the lower edge of the cup along the bust barges line. It is possible to maintain a beautiful bust shape. However, since the wire itself is made of a hard material such as metal, there is a problem that the wire bites into the skin when worn and is painful.

  On the other hand, in the case of a wireless bra, there is no wire that bites into the skin, so it feels soft touch and can be worn comfortably to some extent, but when worn for a long time (this is particularly large in bust size) There was a problem that the cup slid up little by little, which was noticeable for women, and the burge lines made beautifully when worn were broken, and the shape of the bust was broken.

  In addition, this is a problem in both the wire-type brassiere and the wireless brassiere, but there is a problem of fit when worn. That is, the bust size is different for each person, but it is impossible to arrange the size of the underwear (particularly the cup size) as many as the individual, and it must be gathered to a certain size. If it does so, a delicate shift | offset | difference must arise between cup size and bust size, and when it was worn for a long time especially, it was not able to eliminate user dissatisfaction by the point of fit nature.

  Of course, by setting the cup size finely, the effect of improving the feeling of wearing can be expected to some extent, but the discomfort associated with the above-mentioned deviation is not completely eliminated, and fine size setting makes inventory management difficult. This leads to another problem that leads to cost increase.

  Furthermore, although this is not usually conscious of it, the bust size is generally different on the left and right, and there is one cup size between the bust on the left side and the bust on the right side. Some women are more than a minute different. In such a case, for example, if a brassiere is selected in accordance with the bust size on the large side, a gap will naturally occur between the bust on the small side and the cup of the brassiere. On the other hand, if you choose a brassiere that matches the bust size on the small side, the bust on the large side will be crushed and unsightly, and the feeling of wearing will be very bad.

  Such a problem also applies to other underwear having a pair of left and right cups, such as a camisole.

JP 2008-274538 A (FIG. 1) JP 2008-163490 A (FIG. 1)

  The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and is a wire type that can securely hold a bust line for a long time by firmly fixing a burse line even though it is wireless and worn for a long time. An object of the present invention is to provide a women's underwear having a pair of left and right cups that have a bust conditioning effect similar to that of a brassiere and that can be easily managed as well as a custom-made fit.

The invention described in claim 1 is “a pair of left and right cups 12 made of stretchable fabric, and a base cloth 14 or a front body cloth 14 ′ provided along each lower outer peripheral edge 12 a of the cup 12. , women's underwear 10, 10 which consists of a mesh tape 18 where the lower peripheral edge 12a and the base fabric 14 or 'cup corresponding edge 14a of, 14a' front body cloth 14 of the cup 12 are stitched respectively in the connecting both ' Because
The mesh tape 18 has stitching connection portions 18b and 18c having stretchability in the longitudinal direction on both side edges in the longitudinal direction, and a stretchable mesh portion 18a is formed between the connection portions 18b and 18c. The stretchability of the tape 18 is larger in the short direction A than in the longitudinal direction B, and
The connecting portion 18c on the base cloth 14 or the front body 14 'side of the mesh tape 18 is a string-like one having elasticity.
Women's underwear 10, 10 characterized in that the longitudinal stretchability of the connecting portion 18c on the base cloth 14 or front body cloth 14 'side is reduced with respect to the stretchable property in the longitudinal direction of the connecting portion 18b on the cup side. '".

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the cup is formed of a stretchable fabric, the entire bust can be wrapped regardless of the cup size.

  And the bust barges line wrapped in this cup is firmly held by the stitched part of the mesh tape and the base cloth or the front body cloth, and the bust is shaken up and down and left and right by wearing for a long time. Even if there is a mesh tape, the bust is wrapped and held with a certain degree of flexibility just like a hammock, so it does not bite into the Barges line like the wire type and does not touch strongly, yet The problem of gradually shifting upward does not occur, and the shape of the bust can be maintained for a long time.

In addition , “ the connecting portion 18c on the base cloth 14 or the front body 14 ′ side of the mesh tape 18 is a string-like thing having stretchability, and the string-like connecting portion 18c is the base cloth 14 or the front body cloth by zigzag stitching. 14 ”, the connecting portion 18c on the base cloth 14 side has elasticity, and the strength thereof is further increased, so that it functions as a wire although being soft. Therefore, the string-like connecting portion 18c is softly in contact with the barges line but firmly contacts the barges line to hold the barges line, and prevents the cup from being lifted by wearing for a long time despite being a soft cup.

In addition , “ mesh tape” “the stretchable mesh part between the connecting parts makes the stretchability of the mesh tape larger in the short direction than in the longitudinal direction”, so wrap the bust with a cup and cup with a shoulder strap When the cup is lifted, the effect of lifting the cup is demonstrated by the “mesh tape”, which is less stretched in the longitudinal direction. At the same time, the lower outer peripheral edge of the cup that wraps the bust is stretched forward by the mesh tape. Produces a round bust.

It is a perspective view which shows the state which wore the women's underwear (bra) concerning the 1st example. It is a figure which shows the state which looked at the female underwear (bra) concerning 1st Example from the back side. It is a perspective view which shows the state which the small woman of the bust size wore the women's underwear (bra) concerning the 1st example. It is a perspective view which shows the state which the woman with big bust size wore the ladies' underwear (bra) concerning the 1st example. It is a perspective view which shows the state which wore female underwear (camisole) concerning a 2nd example.

  The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The women's underwear 10 of the first embodiment to which the present invention is applied is generally called a “bra”. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, a pair of left and right cups 12, a base cloth 14, and a back cloth 16. The mesh tape 18 and the shoulder strap 20 are roughly configured.

  Each cup 12 is a bowl-shaped member that covers the bust, and includes a front cloth 22 and a back cloth 24 provided on the back surface side of the front cloth 22 (in this embodiment, the front cloth 22 and the back cloth). The cup 12 is formed by sewing around the cloth 24).

  The front cloth 22 is formed in a hook shape by sewing a substantially spindle-shaped lower panel 22a covering the lower side of the bust and a band-shaped upper panel 22b covering the upper side of the bust. On the upper edge of the upper panel 22b, a belt-like upper side panel 22c is sewn to prevent the chest from opening. Since the lower panel 22a, the upper panel 22b, and the upper panel 22c are all made of a stretchable cloth such as a power net, the three panels 22a, 22b, and 22c are sewn. The surface cloth 22 to be provided also has elasticity as a whole, but the ground direction (texture) direction is set so that the horizontal direction extends better than the vertical direction as a whole. In addition, the front cloth 22 may be formed of a single stretchable cloth, but may be double or more, and even in that case, as a whole, it extends better in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction. It is configured as follows. Of course, the opposite may be possible, and it may be possible to have the same stretchability in the vertical and horizontal directions.

  On the back side of the front cloth 22, a bowl-shaped back cloth 24 is provided so as to follow the concave curved surface of the front cloth 22 (see FIG. 2). The lining cloth 24 is a belt-like upper lining cloth piece 24a covering the upper side of the bust, a fan-shaped lower first lining cloth piece 24b covering the chest side below the bust, and the lower side of the bust and the side. Is formed of a fan-shaped lower second backing cloth piece 24c, and the backing cloth 24 is formed by sewing these three backing cloth pieces 24a to 24c together.

  The upper lining piece 24a, the lower first lining piece 24b, and the lower second lining piece 24c are all made of cotton having good touch, excellent hygroscopicity, and elasticity. The touch when the backing cloth 24 obtained by sewing the three backing cloth pieces 24a to 24c directly to the bust is good. Moreover, since the back cloth 24 has elasticity as a whole, the cup 12 formed by providing the back cloth 24 on the back side of the front cloth 22 and sewing both around the back cloth 24 also has elasticity as a whole. become. The upper backing cloth piece 24a is set with the direction of the background of the ground so that it extends better in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction. On the contrary, the lower first lining cloth piece 24b and the lower second lining cloth piece 24c are set so that the direction of the ground is set so as to extend better in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction.

  In the present embodiment, the overlapping portion 24d of the lower first backing cloth piece 24b and the lower second backing cloth piece 24c is not sewn but a non-sewn portion so that the non-sewn portion 24d A pad (not shown) can be inserted as necessary to appropriately correct the shape of the bust (that is, the non-sewn portion 24d functions as a pocket for storing the pad). .

  The base cloth 14 is a band-like member that serves as a base for supporting the cup 12, and is formed of a stretchable cloth such as a power net, like the top cloth 22 of the cup 12.

  The base cloth 14 may also be formed of a single stretchable cloth, but may be double or more, and as a whole, the lateral direction is better than the vertical direction. It is configured. Of course, the opposite may be possible, and it may be possible to have the same stretchability in the vertical and horizontal directions.

  On the upper side of the base cloth 14 (the side on which the cup 12 is attached), two concavely curved cup corresponding edges 14a are provided side by side symmetrically, and each cup corresponding edge 14a is provided with each cup. 12 are respectively attached via mesh tape 18 described later. Further, back cloths 16 are sewn to the left and right ends of the base cloth 14.

  The back cloth 16 is a belt-like member made of a stretchable cloth like the top cloth 22 and the base cloth 14 of the cup 12, and the other end side of a shoulder strap 20 to be described later is on the upper edge of the back cloth 16. It is attached.

  The mesh tape 18 is sewn to the lower outer periphery of the cup 12 (more specifically, the portion from the lower part of the cup 12 to the upper part on the side side) 12a and the cup-corresponding edge 14a of the base cloth 14, and both are indirectly connected. An elongated mesh-like stretchable mesh portion 18a formed by knitting a plurality of thin cords having a small diameter and stretchability into a rhombic lattice shape extending in the longitudinal direction, and a stretchable mesh portion 18a. It is generally constituted by string-like connection portions 18b and 18c sewn at both ends (long sides) in the longitudinal direction.

  As shown in the circle of FIG. 1, each lattice of the elastic mesh portion 18a is formed in the shape of a rhombus lattice in which the longer diagonal line extends along the longitudinal direction of the mesh tape 18, that is, in the longitudinal direction. Has been. Here, each lattice is easy to extend in the short and short direction but difficult to extend in the long direction. Therefore, when viewed as the mesh tape 18 as a whole, the stretchability (stretch rate) in the short direction A is the stretchability in the long direction B. It is larger than (stretch rate).

  Each connection part 18b, 18c is a string-like thing having a certain degree of elasticity, and functions as a stitched part with the cup 12 and the base cloth 14. And as above-mentioned, although each connection part 18b, 18c is each stitch | sutured to the lower outer periphery 12a of the cup 12, and the cup corresponding edge 14a of the base fabric 14, it is a string-like connection part in a present Example. 18b and 18c are stitched to the cup 12 and the base cloth 14 by zigzag stitching in the longitudinal direction. In addition, the number of stitches of the zigzag stitch at the stitched portion with the base cloth 14 is set to be greater than the stitch size at the stitched portion with the cup 12. That is, the stretchability in the longitudinal direction of the connection portion 18c on the base cloth 14 side is smaller than the stretchability in the longitudinal direction of the connection portion 18b on the cup 12 side in the mesh tape 18, and the string-like connection portion 18c. In addition, the strength of the connecting portion 18c on the side of the base cloth 14 is further increased in combination with the fact that the base cloth 14 is stitched to the base cloth 14 in a zigzag manner in the longitudinal direction.

  The method for reducing the stretchability in the longitudinal direction of the connecting portion 18c on the base fabric 14 side is not limited to the above-described method for increasing the stitches. For example, the suture line on the base side 14 may be doubled. Well-known techniques can be employed as appropriate, such as triple or more, or making the sewing method more robust.

  As for the connection portion 18c on the base cloth 14 side, in this embodiment, the side portions 18c on both sides and the chest portion 18c have more threads than the center portion 18c. Therefore, the expansion / contraction ratios of the side part 18c and the chest part 18c are smaller (difficult to extend) than the expansion / contraction ratio of the central part 18c.

  The shoulder strap 20 prevents the cup 12 from being displaced and lifts and holds the bust stored in the cup 12. One end of each shoulder strap 20 is connected to the upper end of the mesh tape 18. The ends are respectively connected to the upper edges of the corresponding back cloth 16.

  When wearing the brassiere 10 configured as described above, the brassiere 10 is put on from the head, and both arms are taken out from the side of the shoulder strap 20. And while accommodating a bust in the cup 12 on either side, a beautiful bust line is formed along the connection line 18c of the mesh tape 18 by the side of the base cloth 14 along a barges line.

  When the bust is accommodated in the cup 12, the cup 12 having expansion and contraction as a whole expands and contracts in accordance with the bust shape, so that the cup 12 fits perfectly into the bust regardless of the difference in the size of the left and right bust sizes (see FIG. 3). That is, since a slight shift does not occur between the bust and the cup 12, the feeling of fitting is not impaired even when worn for a long time, and a feeling of attachment like a made-to-order product can be obtained.

  Further, the strength of the connecting portion 18c on the base cloth 14 side arranged along the barges line is increased by increasing the number of stitches at the time of sewing as compared to the connecting portion 18b on the cup 12 side. "". In other words, the "rigidity" of the connecting portion 18c makes it possible to form a tight constriction in the burge line (compensation effect), and the "smoothness" softens the skin contact, making the wire-type brassiere There is no pain caused by biting into the skin.

  Further, the connecting portion 18c is more difficult to extend in the side portion 18c and the chest portion 18c than in the central portion 18c, so that the meat of the armpit or pigeon tail portion is accommodated in the cup 12 and bust. , The meat in the cup 12 can be prevented from flowing outside the cup 12.

  Further, even when the bust cannot be sufficiently accommodated in the cup 12 only by the extension of the cup 12 portion, the entire bust can be wrapped and accommodated from the periphery by the mesh tape 18 extending in the short direction A. For example, in the case of an M size brassiere (corresponding to the underbust 70), the bust in the range of A cup to B cup can be accommodated by the extension of the cup 12 portion (see FIG. 3). It is possible to accommodate a bust having a size up to C cup (see FIG. 4).

  In this way, a bust having a wider bust size can be accommodated in the cup 12 by the cooperative action of the stretchability of the cup 12 and the elongation of the mesh tape 18 provided in the lower edge of the cup 12 in the short direction A. Since the cup 12 can be accommodated in a bust fit, it is not necessary to set the size of the brassiere according to the cup size as in the conventional case, which contributes to easier inventory management and thus cost reduction. It will be. Note that the brassiere of this embodiment supports a very wide bust size from A65 to C85 with only four types of sizes, S, M, L, and LL.

  Moreover, since the brassiere 10 of the present embodiment is a non-wire type as described above, the wire does not bite into the barges line like a wire-type brassiere, and there is no pain, and it is caused by wearing for a long time. Even if the bust may be swung up and down, left and right, the mesh tape 18 wraps and holds the bust with a certain degree of flexibility just like a hammock, so the connecting portion 18c of the mesh tape 18 with the base cloth 14 has a bulge line. It is possible to prevent the cup 12 from being lifted up without being displaced (in other words, the connection portion with the base cloth 14 clearly forms the constriction of the burge line and maintains the state). (Compensation effect). That is, the bust shape can be beautifully maintained for a long time while being non-wired. Further, the mesh tape 18 is sewn on the entire lower edge of the cup 12 to improve the air permeability and suppress the perspiration in the vicinity of the barges line, thereby providing a comfortable feeling.

  Further, the stretchability of the mesh tape 18 is set to be greater in the short direction A than in the longitudinal direction B. Therefore, when the bust is lifted by the shoulder strap 20, the mesh tape 18 having a small elongation in the longitudinal direction B is used. As a result, the lifting effect of the cup 12 is exhibited, and at the same time, the lower outer peripheral edge of the cup 12 wrapping the bust extends so as to protrude forward by the mesh tape 18 and a natural round bust can be produced.

  In the above-described embodiment, the brassiere is taken as an example of a female underwear having a pair of left and right cups. It may be a camisole 10 'having a length increased.

  The camisole 10 ′ according to the present embodiment is generally composed of a pair of left and right cups 12, a front body cloth 14 ′, a back body cloth 16 ′, a mesh tape 18, and a shoulder strap 20. In the following description, only parts different from the above-described embodiment will be described, and the description of the above-described embodiment will be used for common portions.

  The front body cloth 14 ′ is a cloth material for supporting the cup 12 and tightening the abdomen, and the whole is formed of a stretchable cloth such as a power net. In this case as well, it may be formed of a single stretch fabric, but the front part of the body with the abdomen as the center (the part from the lower edge of the cup 12 to its hem and both sides, roughly from the groin to the thigh) The abdomen cloth 30 that covers the front of the part may be doubled or multiple layers, and in this case as a whole, the vertical direction is better than the horizontal direction. ing. Of course, the opposite may be possible, and it may be possible to have the same stretchability in the vertical and horizontal directions.

  On the upper side of the front body cloth 14 '(side on which the cup 12 is attached), two concavely curved cup corresponding edges 14a' are provided side by side symmetrically, and each cup corresponding edge 14a. Each cup 12 is attached to 'through a mesh tape 18 described later. In addition, the back body cloth 16 'is sewn to the left and right ends of the front body cloth 14', and the whole is tubular.

  The back body cloth 16 'is a cloth material for tightening the back, and is formed of a stretchable cloth like the front body cloth 14'. In this case, it is formed of a single stretchable fabric, and as a whole, is configured to extend better in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction. In addition, you may make it double or more multiplexing as needed. The stretchability may be equal to the top / bottom / left / right stretchability, or may be configured to extend better in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction.

  Also in the women's underwear (camisole) 10 ′ configured as described above, it is possible to obtain the same effects as in the above-described embodiment.
