Description

  The present invention relates to a brassiere, and more particularly, to a breast cancer patient bra suitable for a breast cancer patient whose breast has been removed from one side by surgery.

  Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in breast tissue such as the mammary gland. The risk of suffering from breast cancer increases with age, and in the case of Japanese women, the probability of suffering from breast cancer in life is said to be about 1 in 25-30. Symptoms are known as breast lump or bulge, breast depression, milk secretion, bloody milk and the like.

  Treatment of breast cancer is basically surgical resection and is often combined with chemotherapy or radiation therapy using anticancer drugs or antiestrogens. There are two types of surgery: breast-conserving surgery that removes only the mass, and mastectomy surgery that removes the breast partially or completely. Since the excision range is selected depending on the size of the mass, a wide excision is required when the mass is advanced to the extent that it is directly infiltrating into the chest wall or skin.

  In order to prevent recurrence, removal of the tumor as much as possible is desired, but in addition, axillary lymph nodes are removed during mastectomy as a treatment for lymphatic metastasis of malignant tumor. Even if the cancer has not spread to the lymph nodes, at least the first lymph node is removed, and if the metastasis has advanced to the first lymph node, it will be removed to the third lymph node. It will be excised in the back.

  By the way, a brassiere, which is generally an underwear worn by women on the chest, is mainly used to support the breast, and is widely used for shaping the shape of the bust and preventing the shape from collapsing. A wide variety of brassieres with various colors, designs, materials, and functions have been commercialized, but we also offer braces for breast cancer patients for women who have undergone surgery to remove breasts for breast cancer treatment as described above Has been.

  In a bra for breast cancer patients, restoring a bust bulge is one of the major objectives. In order to restore the bulge of the bust, silicone, urethane, cloth, cotton, beads, red beans, etc., in pockets provided on the breast-side cups, such as the bras disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, for example. There have been many proposals to insert and insert pads using materials such as.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-33918 Utility Model Registration No. 3118227 Utility Model Registration No. 3109767

  The conventional brassiere using a pad that artificially creates a breast has several problems in use. For example, if you use a silicone pad to achieve the same size and weight as a live breast, when you actually wear a brassiere you will feel heavier and heavier than a live breast and your shoulders will be very stiff Become. In addition, when a pad having a certain degree of rigidity is used to maintain its shape, ribs and scars may hurt if the pad hits the chest or axilla after resection.

  On the other hand, when using a light cloth pad or padded with cotton to prevent pain due to a stiff shoulder or pad hitting, it is caused by the lightness of the pad while wearing a brassiere while moving. There is a problem that the breast-side cup that has been excised is moved up, and the positions of the left and right bust tops are greatly displaced. In addition, the excised breast side cup means that the band part (rubber) located at the bottom of the brassiere cup also rises together, but the band part rises like this. When it comes, there is a problem that it hits the scars of the chest and axilla after excision and causes very intense pain.

  In order to prevent such a cup from sliding up, for example, as shown in Patent Document 3, a brassiere having a loop-shaped band passed under the crotch, or a girdle, shorts, slacks belt or the like on the lower side of the brassiere is connected. It has also been proposed to provide a tape. However, if the movement of the brassiere is restrained from above and from below, there is an inconvenience that if the hand is raised, the shoulder strap of the brassiere bites into the shoulder and the free movement is hindered.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and is intended for breast cancer patients who can reduce the feeling of pressure and pain on the chest and axilla after excision of the breast and lymph nodes for breast cancer treatment. An object is to provide a suitable brassiere.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a main portion having a first cup portion that abuts on either the left or right breast, and a first band portion that extends laterally from the first cup portion, And a slave portion having a second cup portion configured to store the correction pad and a second band portion extending laterally from the second cup portion, wherein the second band portion is the first band. The main part and the subordinate part are combined as a left and right pair so as to overlap the part, and the subordinate part is supported by the main part so that a space is formed between the main part and the subordinate part. A brassiere is provided (Invention 1).

  According to the said invention (invention 1), while the main part which has a 1st cup part and a 1st band part is used as a bra for hold | maintaining a healthy breast, a 2nd cup part and a 2nd band part are used. The subordinate has a role to create a pseudo breast in the chest on the side where the resection operation was performed, but the main portion and the subordinate portion are combined so that the second band portion overlaps the first band portion. In addition, since the space is formed between the main part and the slave part, the pressing force applied to the chest on the side where the surgical operation is performed by the slave part is reduced. As a result, the feeling of pressure and pain on the chest on the side where the resection operation was performed is reduced.

  In the said invention (invention 1), the one end by the side of the said 1st cup part of the said 2nd band part is connected with the said 1st band part in the predetermined position of the said 1st band part, The said 2nd band It is preferable that the other end of the part is connected to one end of the first band part on the second cup part side (Invention 2).

  By connecting the first band part and the second band part as in the above invention (Invention 2), the main part and the slave part are combined so that the second band part overlaps the first band part. When wearing a brassiere, the main part has a force to pull up the first cup part in order to hold the healthy breast, but if the first band part and the second band part are connected in this way, The main part and the subordinate part are substantially independent in structure, and the forces acting on each part are difficult to transmit to each other. Therefore, the main part plays a role of holding the healthy breast firmly and is second to the subordinate part. The force that pulls the cup portion upward does not work. Therefore, even when a light pad is used for the second cup part, the second cup part does not slide up while wearing the brassiere and moving.

  In the said invention (invention 2), the length from the said one end by the side of the said 1st cup part of the said 2nd band part to the said other end is a said 2nd cup part from the said predetermined position of the said 1st band part. It is preferable that it is longer than the length to the said one end of the side (invention 3).

  According to the above invention (Invention 3), when the main part and the slave part are combined so that the second band part overlaps the first band part, a space is easily provided between the main part and the slave part. Can be formed.

  In the said invention (invention 3), it is preferable that the said 2nd band part is equipped with the band length adjustment mechanism in the said other end side (invention 4).

  According to the said invention (invention 4), the space of an appropriate size can be formed between a main part and a subordinate part according to the body shape and physique of the person who wears a brassiere.

  Moreover, in the said invention (invention 2), it is preferable that the said predetermined position of the said 1st band part is a position near the said other end of the said 1st band part rather than the said 1st cup part (invention 5). ).

  According to the said invention (invention 5), since a 2nd band part will be connected with a 1st band part in the position far from a 1st cup part, the force which pulls up a 1st cup part upwards at the time of brassiere wear Even if this works, the force is not transmitted to the slave portion via the second band portion, and as a result, the second cup portion can be prevented from being shifted upward. In addition, when the brassiere is worn, the position of the second band part can be positioned below the first band part, so that it becomes easy to balance the height positions of the left and right bust tops.

  In the above invention (Invention 1), the main portion further includes a first shoulder strap portion that extends upward from the first cup portion and is integrated with the first band portion on the back surface. The portion may further include a second shoulder strap portion that extends upward from the second cup portion and is integrated with the second band portion on the back surface (invention 6).

  According to the above invention (invention 6), the first shoulder strap portion extending from the first cup portion is integrated with the first band portion, and the second shoulder strap portion extending from the second cup portion is integrated with the second band portion. Thus, the main part and the subordinate part can be made substantially independent structurally. In the main part, since the first shoulder strap part is on the side where the healthy breast remains, the force to pull up the first cup part holding the breast on the healthy side is properly generated, but the resection operation was performed. Since there is no shoulder strap on the side, the first band portion located under the chest on the side where the resection operation was performed does not slide up and hit a rib or scar. On the other hand, in the slave portion, the height of the second cup portion can be held at an appropriate position according to the position of the first cup portion by suspending the second cup portion from above by the second shoulder strap portion. It is possible to easily balance the height positions of the left and right bust tops when wearing a brassiere.

  In the said invention (invention 6), it is preferable that the said 1st shoulder strap part and the said 2nd shoulder strap part are each provided with the shoulder strap length adjustment mechanism (invention 7).

  According to the above invention (invention 7), according to the physique of the person wearing the brassiere, the height of the second cup part can be held at an appropriate position according to the position of the first cup part, When wearing a brassiere, it becomes easier to balance the height position of the left and right bust tops.

  In the said invention (invention 1), it is preferable to provide the joining member which joins the said 1st band part and the said 2nd band part partially in the vicinity of the said 1st cup part and the said 2nd cup part ( Invention 8).

  According to the above invention (Invention 8), when wearing a brassiere, the height and balance of the left and right bust tops are checked at an appropriate position in accordance with the position of the first cup portion that holds the healthy breast. The first band part and the second band part can be joined so that the two cup parts are arranged. In addition, the joining member should just be what can detachably join a 1st band part and a 2nd band part, For example, a hook-and-loop fastener, a hook, a button, a snap, etc. are mentioned.

  According to the breast cancer patient bra according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the feeling of pressure and pain on the chest and axilla after the breast and lymph nodes have been removed for breast cancer treatment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the brassiere 1 according to the present embodiment creates a pseudo breast in a right breast part 2 having a function for holding a healthy breast and a left chest part after excision surgery. The left chest part 3 that fulfills the above structure is combined into a single brassiere. In the brassiere 1, the left breast part 3 is combined with the right breast part 2 so as to overlap.

  The brassiere according to the present embodiment is a bra for a breast cancer patient whose breast is removed from the left breast. Included in the range. In the case of a brassiere for a right chest resection patient, contrary to the brassiere 1 according to the present embodiment, the right chest part plays a role of creating a pseudo breast in the left chest part where the resection operation has been performed. The parts will have a function for holding a healthy breast, and a pair of left and right parts will be combined so that the right breast part overlaps the left breast part.

  The structures of the right breast part 2 and the left breast part 3 will be described in detail below. The right chest part 2 and the left chest part 3 are actually stitched and integrated at two locations as will be described later. However, for convenience of explanation, the right chest part 2 and the left chest part 3 are shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. Note that the chest part 2 and the left breast part 3 are drawn separately.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the right chest part 2 is worn by being stretched upward from the right chest cup 22, the right chest band 21 extending right and left from the right chest cup 22, and the right chest cup 22. It is comprised from the shoulder strap 23 for right breasts integrated with the band 21 for right breasts on the back of a person. The right breast cup 22 covers and holds a healthy breast, and is not particularly different from a commonly used brassiere cup.

  A wire 221 is sewn under the cup of the right breast cup 22 to support the breast from below. A right chest band 21 extends from the lower portion of the right chest cup 22 (position where it abuts against the wire 221) to the left and right, and a shoulder strap for right chest is connected to the upper end portion of the right chest cup 22 via a connector 231. 23 are connected.

  The right breast band 21 is elongated toward the band end 212 on the right side when viewed from the front. The right breast cup 22 on the right breast band 21 extending to the right side has a left breast part 3 on the side. A hook-like surface fastener 211 is sewn to lock the left breast cup 32 in an appropriate position. The left side of the right breast band 21 as viewed from the front is formed to be somewhat wide so that the breast of the right breast can be firmly held, and has a tapered shape in which the width gradually decreases toward the band end 213. A core material 216 is sewn to the left side of the right breast cup 22 on the right breast band 21 extending to the left side to hold the meat near the body side of the wearer toward the chest side. . Further, a key hook 214 for fastening the brassiere 1 on the back surface of the wearer is sewn on the band end 213.

  The right chest shoulder strap 23 is sewn so as to be integrated with the right chest band 21 in the vicinity of the band end 213 of the right chest band 21 located on the back of the wearer when the brassiere 1 is worn. An adjuster 232 for adjusting the length of the right chest shoulder strap 23 is provided in the middle of the right chest shoulder strap 23.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the left chest part 3 is worn with a left chest cup 32, a left chest band 31 extending left and right from the left chest cup 32, and a left chest cup 32 extending upward. It comprises a left chest shoulder strap 33 that is integrated with the left chest band 31 on the back of the person. The left breast cup 32 has a structure that can accommodate a correction pad (not shown) so as to create a pseudo breast on the chest side where a breast has been partially or completely excised for breast cancer treatment. The correction pad accommodated in the left breast cup 32 according to the present embodiment uses a lightweight pad made of cotton, but is not limited to this, and an appropriate correction pad according to the purpose and preference of the wearer. May be selected.

  Unlike the right breast cup 22, no wire is sewn under the cup of the left breast cup 32. This is due to the fact that there is no breast to support in the left chest and that the wire does not hit the scar and cause pain. A left chest band 31 extends left and right from the lower portion of the left chest cup 32, and a left chest shoulder strap 33 is connected to an upper end portion of the left chest cup 32 via a connector 331.

  The left breast band 31 is elongated toward the band end 313 on the left side when viewed from the front, and the left breast cup 32 is immediately next to the left breast cup 32 on the left breast band 31 extending to the left side. Is attached to a hook-shaped surface fastener 211 provided on the right-breast part 2, and a loop-shaped surface fastener 311 is sewn. The right side of the left chest band 31 in a front view has a tapered shape that gradually decreases in width toward the band end 312, and the band end 312 corresponds to the key hook 214 provided in the right chest part 2. A hook receiver 314 is sewn. The hook receiver 314 has a quadruple structure so that the length can be adjusted according to the wearer's body shape.

  The left chest shoulder strap 33 is sewn so as to be integrated with the left chest band 31 in the vicinity of the band end 312 of the left chest band 31 located on the back of the wearer when the brassiere 1 is worn. An adjuster 332 for adjusting the length of the left chest shoulder strap 33 is provided in the middle of the left chest shoulder strap 33.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the right chest part 2 and the left chest part 3 are arranged so that the left chest band 31 of the left chest part 3 overlaps the right chest band 21 of the right chest part 2. A pair of left and right is combined. The band end 313 of the left chest band 31 of the left chest part 3 is sewn to the right chest band 21 at a connection position 216 located on the right side of the core 215 of the right chest band 21 of the right chest part 2. It is attached. Further, the sewing stop position 316 of the left end of the hook receiver 314 sewn on the left chest band 31 of the left chest part 3 and the band end 212 of the right chest band 21 of the right chest part 2 are integrated. Is sewn on.

  In the brassiere 1 according to the present embodiment, the length from the band end 313 of the left breast band 31 to the sewing stop position 316 is longer than the length from the connection position 216 of the right breast band 21 to the band end 212. ing. Thus, when the brassiere 1 is worn, the right breast part 2 holds the right breast breast firmly (see FIG. 4), while the left breast part 3 and the right breast part 2 are not Since the space is created and the left chest part 3 is mounted in a slightly loose state (see FIG. 5), the pressing force applied to the vicinity of the scar on the left chest after the excision operation is reduced. As a result, the feeling of pressure and pain near the scar of the left chest that has undergone resection surgery are reduced.

  When the brassiere 1 is worn, the right chest part 2 has a force to pull up the right chest cup 22 to hold a healthy right breast, but the band end 313 of the left chest band 31 is the right chest band. 21 is sewn to the right breast band 21 at the connection position 216, and the sewing stop position 316 of the left breast band 31 and the band end 212 of the right breast band 21 are sewn together. The right breast part 2 and the left breast part 3 are structurally almost independent, and the forces acting on each part are hardly transmitted to each other. As a result, the right breast part 2 plays the role of firmly holding the healthy right breast, while the force to pull the left breast cup 32 upward against the left breast part 3 does not work. Even when a light correction pad is used in the left breast cup 32, the left breast cup 32 does not slide up while the brassiere 1 is worn and moved.

  At this time, the left chest band 31 and the right chest band 21 are not sewn at one point at the sewing stop position 316 and the band end 212, but the left chest shoulder strap 33 of the left chest band 31 is sewn. It is also possible to sew together so that the entire region from the sewing start position 315 to the sewing stop position 316 is integrated. By integrating the left chest band 31 and the right chest band 21 in this way, the left chest shoulder strap 33 pulls the left chest cup 32 upward when the left shoulder is raised when the brassiere 1 is worn. Since the right chest band 21 receives the raising force, the left chest band 31 does not slide up.

  In addition, the position where the band end 313 of the left breast band 31 is sewn to the right breast band 21 is set as the connection position 216, so that the following effects can be obtained. That is, the right chest band end 313 of the left chest band 31 is connected to the right chest band 21 at a position farther than the right chest cup 22, so that the right chest cup 22 is attached when the brassiere 1 is worn. Even if an upward pulling force is applied, the force is not transmitted to the left chest part 3 via the left chest band 31, and as a result, the left chest cup 32 can be prevented from shifting upward. it can. Further, when the brassiere 1 is worn, the position of the left breast band 31 can be positioned below the right breast band 21, so that the height positions of the left and right bust tops can be easily balanced.

  In this embodiment, the fabric is cut so that the length from the band end 313 of the left breast band 31 to the sewing stop position 316 is originally longer than the length from the connection position 216 of the right breast band 21 to the band end 212. The left chest band 31 is sewn. For example, the length of the left chest band 31 is set between the base position 317 on the left chest cup 32 side of the left chest band 31 and the sewing start position 315. A member for adjusting may be provided. Examples of the member for adjusting the length of the left breast band 31 include a hook-and-loop fastener. By making the length of the left chest band 31 adjustable, a space of an appropriate size can be formed between the right chest part 2 and the left chest part 3 according to the wearer's body shape and physique. it can.

  On the other hand, the right chest shoulder strap 23 extending from the right chest cup 22 is integrated with the right chest part 2 as it is, and the left chest shoulder strap 33 extending from the left chest cup 32 is integrated with the left chest part 3 as it is. This also contributes to making the right breast part 2 and the left breast part 3 structurally almost independent. Moreover, in the right breast part 2, since there is a right breast shoulder strap 23 on the right breast side where a healthy breast remains, the force to pull up the right breast cup 22 holding the breast is properly generated. Since there is no shoulder strap on the left chest side after the excision operation, the right chest band 21 located below the left chest side does not slide up and hit a rib or scar. On the other hand, in the left chest part 3, the left chest cup 32 is suspended from the upper side by the left chest shoulder strap 33 so that the height of the left chest cup 32 is adjusted to the position of the right chest cup 22. It can be held at any position, making it easy to balance the height positions of the left and right bust tops.

  In the present embodiment, the length of the left chest shoulder strap 33 is formed to be longer than the length of the right chest shoulder strap 23, whereby the left chest cup 32 and the right chest cup are formed. When the height position of the left and right bust tops is balanced with the left breast cup 22, the adjustment range of the left breast cup 32 is widened, so that the left breast cup 32 can be arranged at a more appropriate position.

  Further, the hook-shaped surface fastener 211 and the loop-shaped surface fastener 311 contribute to maintaining the height of the left breast cup 32 in an appropriate position. That is, when the brassiere 1 is worn, the left breast cup 32 is positioned at an appropriate position while checking the height position and balance of the left and right bust tops in accordance with the position of the right breast cup 22 that holds the breast on the right breast side. The left breast band 31 can be joined to the right breast band 21 so that is arranged. In this embodiment, the surface fastener is used to join the right breast band 21 and the left breast band 31, but the right breast band 21 and the left breast band 31 can be detachably joined. For example, a hook, a button, a snap, or the like may be used.

  The embodiment described above is described for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and is not described for limiting the present invention. Therefore, each element disclosed in the above embodiment is intended to include all design changes and equivalents belonging to the technical scope of the present invention.
