Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to undergarments, and particularly to undergarments having a fit portion that tightly fits at least around the chest.

Currently, a wide variety of underwear is available, including bras, camisoles, and bodysuits. Among them, underwear that has a close-fitting part (referred to as a "fit part") that fits tightly around the chest, such as a bra, can emphasize the beauty of the body line around the chest, and is used in many underwear. has been done. On the other hand, there are parts of the human body where fat such as body fat tends to accumulate, and when the fitted part hits such parts, a step is likely to be formed in the contour of the body at the edge of the fitted part. Moreover, if the end edge of the fit portion is arched, the bulge of fat that protrudes from the arched shape will be further emphasized.

FIG. 1 is a view of the back of a human body, showing changes in body shape when wearing underwear that tightens the body, such as body suit BS. For example, if the fat (armpit) swells up like the uneven area A seen from the armpits to the back, and if you wear thin clothing over your underwear, part of the outline of the uneven area highlighted by the underwear will appear. This caused the problem that the information could be confirmed from the outside.

FIG. 2 shows an arch-shaped end side AR formed at the armpit portion of the brassiere. As shown in Figure 2(a), ideally the arch should form a curve as shown by arrow B, but if the size of the underwear is smaller than the body shape, it may curve along the surface of the body. The arch portion is pulled, forming a curve extending in the horizontal direction as shown by arrow B' in FIG. 2(b). By changing the shape as shown in FIG. 2(b), the area in which the fat is suppressed becomes unstable, which may cause the swelling of the fat to become even more accentuated.

On the other hand, Patent Document 1 proposes providing a cover cloth that covers the entire side panel of the brassiere in order to suppress the protruding body fat caused by tightening the side panel. However, the cover cloth is connected to the side panel at all sides other than the top edge, and is substantially the same as when the side panel fabric is made of two layers. Moreover, the mechanical strength of the joint connecting the side panel and the cover cloth is increased, and the force for suppressing fat is also locally increased. For this reason, the connecting portion becomes a new cause, emphasizing the bulge in areas where there is fat.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide underwear that suppresses the swelling of fat even in underwear that has a fitting part that closely fits around the chest.

In order to solve the above problems, the underwear of the present invention has the following technical features.
(1) In underwear having a fitted part that closely fits at least around the chest, the outer fabric forming the fitted part has an arch-shaped end side at the armpit part, and is placed overlappingly on the back side of the outer fabric, and the outer fabric forms the arched shape. It has a lining fabric that includes the end sides of the arch and covers the part that protrudes from the end sides of the arch shape, and both end sides of the lining fabric that are substantially perpendicular to the chest circumference direction are fixed to the outer fabric, and the lining fabric covers the chest circumference direction. Both end sides substantially parallel to are not fixed to the outer fabric.

(2) The undergarment described in (1) above is characterized in that the arch-shaped end is sewn along the end or a string-like elastic member is arranged along the end.

(3) The underwear described in (1) or (2) above is characterized in that the lining fabric is made of stretchable fabric.

(4) The underwear described in any one of (1) to (3) above is characterized in that the lining fabric is constructed by stacking a plurality of fabrics.

(5) The underwear according to any one of (1) to (4) above, characterized in that the underwear is a brassiere, a tank top, a camisole, a short-sleeved or long-sleeved innerwear, or a body suit. do.

The present invention provides an undergarment having a fit portion that closely fits at least around the chest, in which the outer fabric forming the fit portion has arch-shaped end sides at the side portions, and is arranged overlappingly on the back side of the outer fabric. It has a lining fabric that includes the end sides of the arch shape and covers the part protruding from the end sides of the arch shape, and both end sides of the lining fabric that are substantially perpendicular to the chest circumference direction are fixed to the outer fabric, and the chest circumference of the lining fabric Since both end sides that are substantially parallel to the direction are not fixed to the outer fabric, the lining fabric suppresses the excess flesh in a planar manner, and moreover, the lining fabric can relieve the pressing force caused by the arch-shaped end sides. As a result, it becomes possible to suppress the unevenness of fat such as armpit meat and make the swelling of fat less noticeable.

FIG. 2 is a rear view showing an example of a human body wearing a body suit. It is a figure explaining the shape change of the arch part of the armpit of a brassiere, (a) shows an ideal form, and (b) shows a state extended in the direction of the chest circumference. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating how fat swells up when a conventional outer cloth has an arch-shaped edge; (a) is a plan view, and (b) is a diagram taken along the dashed line CC' in (a). FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the role of the lining cloth used in the underwear of the present invention, in which (a) is a plan view and (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the dashed line C-C' in (a). BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a brassiere to which the present invention is applied, in which (a) shows the front side and (b) shows the back side.

Below, the underwear of the present invention will be explained in detail using preferred examples.
As shown in FIG. 4, the present invention provides an undergarment having a fit portion that closely fits at least around the chest, in which the outer fabric (1) forming the fit portion has arch-shaped end sides (10) at the armpit portions, It has a lining fabric (2) that is placed overlappingly on the back side of the outer fabric, includes the edge of the arch shape, and covers a portion that protrudes from the edge of the arch, and is substantially perpendicular to the chest circumference direction of the lining fabric. Both end sides (20) are fixed to the outer fabric (1), and both end sides (20') substantially parallel to the chest circumference direction of the lining fabric are not fixed to the outer fabric (1).

The main structure of the underwear of the present invention will be explained while comparing it with a conventional example.
Figure 3 shows a part of the fit part where the underwear comes into close contact with the skin, where Figure 3 (a) is a plan view and Figure 3 (b) is a view taken along the dashed line CC' in Figure 3 (a). FIG. Further, an arch-shaped end side 10 is formed on the upper side of the fitting portion. The part surrounded by the symbol PF indicates a part of the skin (SKN) where fat (PF) is attached.

When a tension F is applied to the outer fabric 1 in the chest circumference direction, for example, in the horizontal direction in the figure, as shown in FIG. 1, but the upper part of the arch-shaped end side 10 is in a swollen state due to the absence of the outer fabric 1.
Moreover, the width D of the arch shape shown in FIG. 3(a) tends to become wider as the arch shape collapses due to tension. As the arch shape including the end sides 10 changes in this way, the range in which the fat is suppressed becomes unstable, and the swelling of the fat is further emphasized.

Furthermore, along the edge 10 of the arch shape, sewn parts (sewn parts of the folded part of the outer fabric and parts overlapped with other fabrics) and string-like elastic members such as rubber are arranged. In this case, the mechanical strength is higher near the edge 11 of the arch shape than in other parts. For this reason, the pressing force f1 that presses down the fat becomes larger than the pressing force f2 of other outer fabrics. For this reason, the bulge of fat becomes even more emphasized.

In the underwear of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the lining fabric 2 is arranged so as to overlap the back side (skin side) of the outer fabric 1. Similarly to FIG. 3, FIG. 4(a) is a plan view, and FIG. 4(b) is a sectional view.
A stretchable fabric is used for the lining fabric, and for example, the same fabric as the outer fabric may be used. In addition, the lining fabric can be made of not only one piece of fabric, but also a plurality of pieces of fabric stacked one on top of the other.
More preferably, the stretchability of the lining fabric 2 is lower than the stretchability of the outer fabric (it is less stretchable under the same tension). This makes it possible to efficiently convert the tension applied to the outer fabric into the pressing force of the lining fabric.

As shown in FIG. 4, the shape of the lining cloth 2 is formed to include the arch-shaped end side 10 of the outer cloth 1 and to cover the portion protruding from the arch-shaped end side 10. In particular, in order to cover the part of the arch shape where the outer fabric 1 is not present, the lining fabric 2 is arranged so as to bridge from both sides of the arch shape.

Both end sides 20 of the lining fabric 2 that are substantially perpendicular to the chest circumference direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 4) are fixed (adhered) to the outer fabric 1 by sewing, pasting, etc. Both end sides 20' are not fixed to the outer fabric 1.
Here, the expression "substantially perpendicular" includes not only those that extend perpendicularly to the chest circumference direction, but also those that have inclined edges or curved edges. Similarly, the meaning of "substantially parallel" includes not only those parallel to the chest circumference direction, but also those whose edges are inclined or whose edges are curved.

The function of the lining fabric 2 will be explained.
As shown in FIG. 4(a), when tension F is applied to the outer fabric 1, the outer fabric 1 tries to stretch left and right, but since both end sides 20 of the lining fabric 2 are fixed to the outer fabric 1, The lining fabric 2 is pulled left and right as the fabric 1 stretches. Moreover, since the upper and lower edges of the backing cloth 2 in FIG. 4(a) are not fixed, they tend to stretch in the direction in which tension is applied.

When the lining fabric 2 is pulled along the chest circumference direction by the tension F, the lining fabric 2 stretches to wrap around the fat PF, covering a wide area of the skin SKN (fat PF) as shown in FIG. 4(b). Press with pressing force f3. Furthermore, the lining fabric 2 presses down the portion of the outer fabric 1 that protrudes from the arch-shaped edge, making it possible to make the bulge of fat less noticeable.

Furthermore, the outer fabric 1 also exerts a pressing force on the skin side, but since the tension of the outer fabric 1 is distributed and applied to the lining fabric 2, the pressing force of the outer fabric 1 itself is weak. In addition, the pressing force applied to the skin side by the end edge of the arch shape and its vicinity is further dispersed by the lining fabric 2, and the generation of localized strong pressing force is also suppressed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the fixed portions 20 of the lining fabric 2 and the outer fabric 1 are arranged on both sides of the arch shape so as to straddle the arch-shaped recess. With this configuration, even if the outer fabric 1 is pulled from side to side, the width D of the arch shape shown in FIG. 3(a) is also suppressed from increasing. As a result, the shape changes, such as the edge of the arch shape extending into a straight line, and the area that presses the fat becomes unstable as shown in Figure 3(b), and in some cases, the skin is locally pressed (pressure force f1 ) is suppressed from occurring.

In FIG. 4(a), the end portion of the backing cloth 2 is the fixed portion 20. However, the term "edge" in the present invention does not mean an edge of the fabric, but rather a region of the fabric that plays the role of the lining fabric 2, and a side portion of the edge that forms this area. Therefore, it is also possible to use as the lining fabric 2 a fabric that spreads further left and right than the fixed portion 20 in FIG. 4(a).

FIG. 5 is a diagram in which the present invention is applied to an arch-shaped portion AR provided at the armpit portion of a brassiere. FIG. 5(a) shows the front side of the brassiere, and FIG. 5(b) shows the back side of the brassiere. The fabric on the front side of the brassiere corresponds to the outer fabric 1 of the present invention, and the back side of the outer fabric 1 includes the edge of the arch-shaped portion AR of the outer fabric 1, as well as the portion protruding from the edge of the arch-shaped portion (Fig. 5 The lining cloth 2 is arranged so as to cover the shaded area in (a).

In the brassiere shown in FIG. 5, since tension is applied in the direction around the chest, for example, the outer fabric 1 and the lining fabric 2 are sewn along sewing lines (straight lines or curved lines) 21 and 22 in the vertical direction of the bra, and A fixed portion (21, 22) of the cloth 2 is formed. The upper and lower side portions (23 and 24 in FIG. 5(b)) of the lining fabric 2 are not sewn to the outer fabric 1.

By arranging the lining fabric 2 so as to include the arch-shaped portion AR, the local pressing force on the edge of the arched shape of the outer fabric 1 and its vicinity is changed to a force that presses the skin flatly with the lining fabric 2. can be done. In addition, since the lining fabric 2 is arranged to cover the part that protrudes from the edge of the arch shape, the lining fabric 2 presses the fat that cannot be suppressed by the outer fabric 1, making it possible to suppress the swelling of the fat. becomes.

Moreover, since the fixed parts (21, 22) of the lining fabric 2 are configured to sandwich the arch-shaped part AR, both sides of the arch-shaped part AR are pulled left and right, causing deformation as shown in FIG. 2(b). It is also suppressed to do so. As a result, the end side of the arch-shaped portion AR and its vicinity are deformed, the range for suppressing the skin (fat) becomes unstable, and the occurrence of swelling of the fat is also suppressed.

The structure of the underwear of the present invention can be applied to any area where fat tends to accumulate and where an arch-shaped portion is formed in the underwear. In particular, it is preferable to apply the present invention to the armpit area, including the armpit area and the area between the armpit and the back, as this is a region where people are especially concerned about being seen.

Furthermore, the underwear of the present invention can be applied to bras, tank tops, camisoles, short-sleeved or long-sleeved innerwear, body suits, etc., and has a close-fitting part that comes into close contact with the skin, especially a part that comes into close contact with the chest area (fitting part). It can be applied to various types of underwear.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide underwear that suppresses the swelling of fat, even in underwear that has a fit portion that closely fits around the chest.
