SI21217A - Breast-feeding garment - Google Patents

Abstract

Specially designed breast-feeding garment includes apertures in its front part within the breast area. These apertures allow easy and discreet access to the breasts without the need to lay bare any other part of the body such as the chest on account of a low neckline, the abdominal area and the back. To give a suck to a baby it suffices to undo the aperture in the breast area while the other parts of the body will remain covered and protected against the influences of the ambient low temperatures or prying eyes in public.

Description

The subject of the invention are breastfeeding clothes, respectively. more specifically, garments containing openings at the front of the garment in the chest area.

The known designs of clothing so far contain head, arm and leg openings and serve the human user to cover and protect the body against external factors (from cold, sunlight, etc.). for example, opening and fastening with buttons and buttons, presses, zippers ...), which is usually used for dressing and undressing.

Clothes designed in this way are not practical when a breastfeeding mother has to breastfeed her baby, because for example she has to open buttons of a blouse or a nightgown, thus decluttering her neckline, or lifting a T-shirt or sweater, thereby also inflating the abdomen and lumbar region. part of the back to allow the baby to access the breast. The exposed parts of the body are no longer protected from external influences of the environment, which causes the breastfeeding mum to be discomforted (due to cold, due to public exposure ...).

A technical problem solved by the invention is such a construction of the garments that the garments comprise additional openings in the front portions of the chest. These openings allow the breastfeeding mother to have a discreet and easy access to the breast, without the need to expose other parts of the body, such as the décolletage, abdomen and back, because only the opening in the breast area can be opened for breastfeeding, and the rest of the body remains to cover. The openings can be opened and closed with buttons, presses, fasteners or in any other way, but only the openings may be without fasteners (depending on material requirements and the appearance of the garment).

The invention is applicable to many types of clothing of any visible appearance of the product: for blouses, shirts, T-shirts, sweaters, vests, one-piece dresses, undershirts ..., for sports and elegant clothing, both of fabrics and knitwear and other materials for clothing. In addition to the added breastfeeding openings, the garment may also include the usual accessories such as collars, pockets, bracelets, slats and other fashion accessories. Clothing may have long sleeves, short sleeves or sleeveless jackets.

According to the invention, the problem is solved by the following embodiments;

Embodiment "A" (Figure 1, Figure 2. Figure 3) - with a double-layer front of the garment, with the lower front portion 1 having two vertical openings in the breast region 2, the upper front portion 3 covering the vertical opening 2 and being equal to long or shorter than the lower front 1, but long enough to extend beyond the opening 2. Raising the upper front 3 allows access to the breastfeeding site while the portion 1 covers the abdomen. The upper front part 3, together with the lower front part 1, is sewn into the shoulder seam and sleeve, and in the area of the side seam it can be sewn into the side seam (Figure 1), it can be trapped and open with one or more buttons 4 on each side (Fig. 2), but may be assembled together with an equally long upper posterior (Fig. 3).

Embodiment "B" (Figure 4) - with a horizontal opening 2 in height below the chest forming the lower front 1 and the upper front 3. Buttons 4 are sewn on the upper edge of the lower front 1, the lower edge of the upper front 3 Buttons 6 are made. The opening 2 allows access to the breastfeeding site so that the user unlocks only as many buttons and on the side (left or right) where it is necessary to breastfeed - the rest of the body remains covered. Buttons and knobs can also be replaced by a zipper that opens on both sides (left to right and right to left) if required by the material or appearance of the garment.

Embodiment "C" (Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7) - with a three-piece front assembly containing two lower front parts 1 on the left and right sides and an upper front section 3 in the middle of the garment that covers the opening or the front. The opening (if required by the material or the appearance of the product) may be limited by decorative seams or accessories 7 in height above the chest and below the chest to prevent the opening 2 from opening more than is necessary for breastfeeding. The lower front parts 1 are sewn into the shoulder seam, the sleeve seam and the side seam and extend inside the garment so as to form overlaps with the upper front portion 3. The upper front portion 3 is sewn into the shoulder seam, and on the sides has an edge 9 which is at the same time the edge of the breast opening and can be designed to extend from the shoulder seam to the lower edge of the garment (Figure 5) or from the sleeve seam to the side seam (Figure 7) or a combination of these (for example, extending from the shoulder seam to the side seam (Figure 6) or from the sleeve seam to the bottom edge of the garment).

Embodiment "D" (Figure 8) - with a three-piece front assembly containing two lower front parts 1 on the left and right and an upper front section 3 in the middle of the garment that covers the opening or the front. spacing 2 between the lower fronts 1. The lower fronts 1 are sewn into the shoulder seam, the sleeve seam and the side seam and extend into the inside of the garment so that they form folds together with the upper front 3. The upper front part 3 is sewn into the shoulder seam and the side seam is sewn from waist height down to the bottom edge of the garment. From the height of the waist up to the shoulders, the upper front part 3 is individually trapped and opens several buttons on the left and right side of the armpit area with one or more buttons 4. Buttons 4 are sewn to the lower front parts 1, and the buttons 6 are made on lateral edge of upper forelimb 3. Button release 4 provides access to the opening 2 or breastfeeding site on each side (left or right), while the upper forelimb 3 covers the neckline and abdomen, and the lower forelimbs 1 cover the underarm area.
