Description

  It relates to a so-called “push-up” brassiere for lifting the breast and making it appear to have the features listed in the main part of claim 1.

  Bras for supporting and shaping a woman's breast are generally known and many variations are used throughout the world. They are usually made from a front part mainly composed of two breast cups, which are shaped in various ways and joined by a central bridge. When the side parts follow at the outer edge of the front part, their free ends can be joined together by using a back closure device on the back of the bra wearer. Such a bra not only lifts and supports the chest, but also has the important function of shaping the shoulder, so that the shoulder in the form of a support strap that connects the chest cup to the back region of the side part via the shoulder strap. They are provided with a string.

  With regard to shaping the chest, a chest cup is available that is covered with a cushion, especially in its lower area, to lift the small breast and thereby make it appear more filled Some, such bras are known under the name of “push-up” bras and are available on the market. In this regard, it is also known that pockets are provided in the lower region of the chest cup to accommodate various thicknesses of cushion-like reinforcing inserts as needed. These pockets are normally available through slit-shaped openings, which are usually arranged in the side region of the breast cup.

  In this type of push-up bra, the force applied to lift and support the chest, which occurs mainly in the lower region of the breast cup, is received by the shoulder strap attachment at the upper edge of the bra and lifted by the strap Until done, it must propagate not only across the chest, but also to this side and above. For this purpose, reinforcements in the lateral region of the breast cup are known.

  The present invention provides a brassiere that can be used as a push-up brassiere in many types and that is particularly focused on transmitting the force required to lift and support the chest from the lower edge of the chest cup to the shoulder strap. Based on the challenge of creating.

  According to the invention, this object is achieved by a push-up bra having the features of claim 1.

Further advantageous embodiments emerge from the dependent claims.
The main feature of the brassiere according to the present invention is that the lower edge of the breast cup is the attachment point where the shoulder strap is placed on the push-up bra with a pocket for inserting the reinforcing insert in the lower region of the breast cup A combination of surface tension elements that extend from the surface along the side edge to the top edge. Even though the slit-like opening is covered by a tensioning element, through which a pocket is placed to hold the reinforcing insert in a specific location, the result of that location, despite the edge fixation of the chest cup material, The slit-like opening can be reached and the reinforcing insert can be inserted or removed.

  This tensile element is particularly advantageous if it is made of an elastic material, even if it is not a very high elastic material. It is advantageous to make this tension element in layers, since the elastic material is provided only on the inside facing the body and only in the region of the free edge, while the tension propagates to the shoulder strap attachment The region along the side edge of the breast cup that is mainly used may be made of an inelastic material. As a result, the elastic deformation of the tensile element at the free edge facilitates the use of the rigid (reinforced) insert pocket opening.

  According to the present invention, this (insertion of a reinforced insert into the pocket) is possible as soon as higher demands are imposed, but the chest cup has a cushion that allows further lifting or breast enlargement. It is also possible to have it already from the beginning, which in some cases makes it possible to dispense with the insertion of a reinforcing insert into a pocket arranged in the lower region of the chest cup.

  The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of the figures.

  The figure shows a front cup 1 of a push-up brassiere as seen from the inside, that is, from the side facing the body, with only a part of the so-called directly adjacent parts. Yes. The front part of the brassiere has two such breast cups 2 that are symmetrical with respect to the central bridge 3, to which a side part 5 is attached, optionally with an intermediate part 4 interposed therebetween. The side piece 5, which can be made at least partly of an elastic material, extends towards the back and can then be joined to the other by a back closure device, not shown in the figure. At the upper edge 6 of the chest cup 2, particularly around the area where it passes and enters the side part 5, is a strap attachment 7, and a shoulder strap 8 is fixed to it in a known manner.

  In this case, a wire groove 10 is made along the lower edge 9 of the breast cup following the shape of the breast, and a reinforcing wire (not shown) can be inserted therein. A wire groove 10 with reinforcing wires continues from the point of the generally upper edge 6 of the chest cup 2 adjacent to the central bridge 3 to the upper edge 12 of the side piece 5 along the lower edge 9 and the side edge 11. The joining of the wire groove 10 and the chest cup 2 or the bra material is generally carried out by sewing.

  The chest cup 12 is divided into an upper portion 14 and a lower portion 15 by a chest cross stitch 13. The lower portion 15 includes a pocket 16 for inserting a reinforcing insert between the chest cross stitch 13 and the wire groove 10. The pocket 16 is also available through an open slit 17 that extends generally from the wire groove 10 to the chest cross stitch 13. In the illustrated embodiment, both the upper pocket portion 14 and the lower portion 15 include pockets 16 and are covered with cushions to achieve the desired chest shape, optionally even without a reinforcing insert. By placing a rigid (strengthened) insert in the pocket, however, breast bulk can be significantly increased.

  In order to receive the force necessary to shape, in particular to lift the chest, according to the invention, it extends from the lower edge 9 of the chest cup 2 along its side edge 11 to the string fitting 7 and along these edges. A tensioning element 18 is provided which is joined to the breast cup 2 by sewing in particular. The tension element 18 of the illustrated embodiment is composed of a double-layer material strip made of a low-elastic fabric material that is folded around the free edge 19 as a folding edge. As a result of its shape and arrangement, it is ensured that this tensioning element 18 covers the opening slit 17 for the pocket 16, but its elasticity keeps the availability of the opening slit 17 available.

  If higher shaping and pulling forces therefor occur, the inner non-facing facing the chest cup 2 at the seam 21 in the side area 22 facing the back and adjacent to the free edge 19 inside the body. Only in the front region 20 following the elastic material is the possibility to make the tension element 18 only from the elastic material.

  The essence of the present invention includes the possibility of increasing the size of these (chests) by using a reinforced insert placed in a pocket, and a chest cup cushion and chest to lift and shape the chest. In combination with a tension element for propagating the force generated when lifting the shoulder strap to the shoulder strap, which is arranged and designed so that the opening slit of the pocket is always available. The chest cup design may be implemented so that the chest looks large without the reinforcement insert being placed in a particular location in the pocket and is most visible when the insert is inserted.

It is a figure of only a part of front part 1 of a push-up bra.
