Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a brassiere in which a substantially U-shaped core wire is arranged along the periphery of a cup.

(Prior Art) Conventional brassieres of this type use core wires made of hard material (hereinafter referred to as the "former type").
and one using a core wire made of soft material (hereinafter referred to as "the latter one").

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) The former has the advantage that the core wire is hard and lacks flexibility, so the cup is difficult to deform, and the cup does not lose its shape even after long-term use, but on the other hand, the cup is flexible. It has disadvantages such as lack of sexiness and difficulty in fitting well to the breast.

In other words, although there are individual differences in the shape of the breasts of bra users, and no two breasts have the same shape, the bras currently on the market are slightly different due to the size of the cup, mainly for convenience in manufacturing and sales. Since there are only four standard classifications from A to D, if the cup does not have a certain degree of flexibility, for example, an A-cup brassiere is too small, but a B-cup bra is too large. It is very difficult to find a bra that can fit well over the breast.

In this respect, the latter has a highly flexible core wire,
Since the cup has a certain degree of flexibility, the cup can deform according to the shape of the breast, allowing it to fit the breast well. However, on the other hand, the shape-retaining strength of the cup is naturally weak, so the bra is When the cup is pulled from the center of the front side to the armpit side by wearing the cup, the core line along the armpit edge of the cup deforms, making it impossible for the cup to maintain its desired shape, and causing the cup to not fit properly on the breast. This will result in a feeling of discomfort because it does not fit properly. Moreover, brassieres with core wires are high-grade and expensive, and must be able to be used well over a long period of time. There is a risk that the cup will lose its shape and cannot withstand long-term use.

The object of the present invention is to solve all of the problems with conventional brassieres and to provide a brassiere that can be used satisfactorily over a long period of time without losing its shape.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the brassiere of the present invention, in particular, separates the core wire from a hard core wire portion along at least the armpit peripheral edge portion of the cup and from the first core wire portion. The cup is constructed with a flexible second core line extending integrally along the circumferential edge of the cup, excluding at most the armpit circumferential edge.

(Example) Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be specifically explained based on the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, the brassiere of this embodiment has a brassiere main body 1 having shoulder straps 2, 2, a pair of cups 3, 3 positioned in the center, and bulgingly formed at the periphery of each cup 3. A tubular core wire insertion portion 5 is formed along the
It is formed by inserting and holding a character-shaped core wire 6.

As shown in FIG. 2, each core wire 6 includes a first hard core wire portion 7 having a curved shape along the side peripheral edge portion 4a of the cup 3, a lower peripheral edge portion 4b of the cup 3, and a center side peripheral edge portion 4c. It is formed by integrally connecting a flexible second core wire portion 8 which is curved along the curved shape. The first core wire portion 7 is made of a hard material such as metal or hard synthetic resin and has a circular cross section, and the second core wire portion 8 is made of a soft material such as soft synthetic resin but has a slightly larger diameter than the first core wire portion 7. Each of them is formed into a linear body with a circular cross section.One end of the first core wire portion 7 is fitted into a fitting hole 8a formed at one end of the second core wire portion 8, and this fitted portion is heat welded. Or it is fixed with adhesive. The first core wire portion 7 is tightly inserted into and held in a portion 5a of the core wire insertion portion 5 along the cup armpit side peripheral edge portion 4a without flexibility, and the second core wire portion 8 is inserted and held at the lower side peripheral edge of the cup in the core wire insertion portion 5. It is inserted and held in the portion 4b and portions 5b and 5c along the central peripheral edge portion 4c with some degree of flexibility. In addition, the first core wire portion 7
A cap 9 made of soft material is attached to the other end,
It is designed to prevent the other end of the first rigid core wire portion 7 from accidentally breaking through the fabric during washing or the like.

In the brassiere constructed as described above, since the first hard core wire portion 7 is arranged along the side peripheral edge portion 4a of the cup 3, when the brassiere is worn, the brassiere main body 1 is placed on the front center side. Even if the cup 3 is pulled from the side to the armpit side, the cup 3 is not easily deformed due to the presence of the first core wire portion 7, and therefore the cup 3 is maintained in a predetermined shape. There is no risk of it losing its shape.

Moreover, the second core wire portion 8 is arranged along the lower peripheral edge portion 4b and the central peripheral edge portion 4c of the cup 3.
Because it is soft and flexible, it can ensure the flexibility of the cup 3, and when the cup 3 is placed on the breast, the cup 3 deforms according to the shape of the breast and fits well on the breast. It can be fitted.

By the way, when the brassiere main body 1 is pulled toward the armpit side when the brassiere is worn as described above, the armpit side peripheral edge 4a of the cup 3 is greatly affected, but the lower side peripheral edge 4b and the central side peripheral edge of the cup 3 are greatly affected. Since the portion 4c is hardly affected, even if the second core wire portion 8 along the peripheral portions 4b and 4c is highly flexible, the shape retention of the cup 3 may be impaired or the cup 3 may lose its shape. There is no risk of it collapsing.

Note that the configuration of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment; for example, as shown in FIG.
is insert-molded with a soft synthetic resin in a state where the metal core material 7a is embedded, so that the part where the metal core material 7a is embedded is the first core wire part 7, and the part where this is not embedded is the second core wire part. 8, respectively. In short, if the first core wire portion 7 is made of a hard material with poor flexibility, and the second core wire portion 8 is made with a soft material with rich flexibility, and the two core wire portions 7 and 8 are integrally connected. It's good.

Further, the first core line portion 7 does not have to extend only along the side peripheral edge portion 4a of the cup 3, but may also extend along the lower side peripheral edge portion 4b. Second
The same applies to the core wire portion 8, and it may be made shorter than in the case of the above embodiment. In short, the first core part 7 can prevent the cup 3 from deforming due to tension when the brassiere main body 1 is worn, and the second core part 7 can provide flexibility of the cup 3 to fit it according to the shape of the breast. It is sufficient if it can be secured by the core wire portion 8.

(Effects of the invention) The brassiere of the present invention has a hard first core wire on the armpit side peripheral portion of the cup, which is most likely to be deformed when the brassiere is pulled from the front center side to the armpit side when worn. Because of this, the cup will not be unexpectedly deformed due to the tensile force that is applied to the brassiere when it is worn, and there is no risk that the cup will lose its shape after long-term use.

Moreover, since the part of the core other than the first core part is made up of a flexible and soft second core part, the flexibility of the cup can be ensured, and the cup can be deformed according to the shape of the breast. It can be fitted well to the breast.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a brassiere that does not lose its shape over a long period of time and can fit well to the breast without causing discomfort, and is extremely durable and comfortable to use. It can be done.
