SK141093A3 - Shoulder strap for ladies' underwear - Google Patents

Abstract

The shoulder strap for ladies underwear is provided, in particular as a shoulder strap for brassières. It consists of elastic warp threads and inwoven weft threads running transversely thereto. The width (B) of its longitudinal mid-region (M) is enlarged in relation to the widths (b) of the shoulder-strap sections (A, C) adjoining it on both sides. In the longitudinal mid-region (M) of the shoulder strap, the mutual spacing of the warp threads (K) is enlarged in relation to the mutual spacing of the warp threads in the shoulder-strap sections (A, C) adjoining the longitudinal mid-region (M). Furthermore, the number of weft threads per length unit (L) is greater in the longitudinal mid-region (M) than in the shoulder-strap sections (A, C) adjoining the longitudinal mid-region. The number of weft threads per length unit (l) in the longitudinal mid-region (M) is expediently about 50% greater than the number of weft threads per length unit (l) in the shoulder-strap sections (A, C) adjoining the longitudinal mid-region (M). <IMAGE>

Description

Technical field

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a garment support belt, in particular a bra strap, the width of which has a median longitudinal region thereof enlarged relative to the widths of the portions of the garment support belt on either side of it.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Support strips of this kind are known. Due to their flexibility, they can follow the movements of the wearer's body or part thereof, so that the portion of the garment carried by them does not exert any tension or pressure on the wearer's body. Such a strip extends over the shoulder of the person having the middle portion of the length of the carrier strip serving as the abutment portion and its portions adjoining and extending along either side of the central portion along the wearer's chest or back are suitably attached to the garment at the end. U.S. Pat. 4100924 is known such a carrier strap, which is used for handbags, women's underwear, shoulders and the like. and wherein the width of the median longitudinal region is increased relative to the width of the mutually adjoining carrier belt sections. The widened section of the carrier belt, when used appropriately, lies on the shoulder of the wearer or wearer and is intended to transmit the load, in fact, to large areas and to those areas of the shoulder which are naturally worn to prevent stress on the nerve centers, blood circulation and sensitive skin cells.

The formation of this known belt is very expensive, since the belt consists of strips of fabric, sewn together at the edge of each other and equipped with an extended central region in which two pockets extending obliquely to the belt axis and having different widths are provided. for supporting flat corset struts in the form of a parallelogram. These support parts may consist of various materials such as bones, plastics or even rubbery materials. In addition, foam pads are provided beneath these inserts. Carrier belts of this kind are certainly very comfortable to wear, especially when carrying relatively heavy loads, so the carrier belt serves as a shoulder strap for shoulders, golf club bags, bags for photographic needs and the like. For women's underwear, in particular for bras, such a belt is too costly and therefore too expensive and therefore not practically usable.

The object of the present invention is to provide a carrier strip for the aforementioned purpose by means of prior manufacturing processes on ribbed weaving looms and yet to provide a carrier strip in such a way that an increased wearing comfort is achieved.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is based on a combination of the following features:

consists in a manner known per se of elastic warp yarns and of weft yarns extending transversely, in the middle region of the length of the support strip or the shoulder, the spacing of the warp threads is increased relative to the spacing of the warp threads in those sections of the support strip which The weft yarns per unit length are greater in the central length region than in the portions of the carrier strip adjacent the central length region.

Thanks to the instructions of the invention, it is possible to produce such carrier strips for the very comfortable wearing of women's underwear according to known technologies on the prior art weaving looms, even though the strips consist of elastic threads.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, in order to be sufficiently stable and rigid, in spite of an enlarged central portion in which the number of warp threads is not greater than in the narrower adjacent sections of the carrier strip, the number of weft threads per length unit is about 50% greater than the number of weft yarns per length unit in the portions of the support strip adjoining the central length region.

Overview of the drawings:

In FIG. 1 is a schematic top view of a support strip according to the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In FIG. 1 is a planar extension of a length L with a median longitudinal section Mas of both adjacent sections A and C of the support strip. As can be seen from this illustration, the width B of the central longitudinal section M of the support strip is increased compared to the widths b of the support strip sections A, C on both sides of the support strip. The warp threads K, which are only schematically indicated, are elastically deformable. The elasticity of these warp yarns K can be determined by the material from which they are made or even by the particular type of these fibers themselves. Transversely to the warp threads K extending in the longitudinal direction, weft threads (not shown) are inserted in the weave. In a schematic representation, it is apparent that in the middle length section M of the carrier strip, the spacing of the warp threads K is increased compared to the spacing of the warp threads K in the sections A, Q of the carrier strip adjoining the median length section M. in the central longitudinal section M larger than in the support strip sections A, C following the central longitudinal section M, in particular larger by about 50%. The ratio of the overall length L of the support strip to the length of the extended central section M is approximately 3.5. The ratio of the width B of the extended central longitudinal section M to the width b of the sections A, C of the supporting strip adjoining it is about

1.2. The lengths of the two carrier strip sections A, C following the extended middle length section M are of varying size.

According to the invention, a support strip is provided which is widened in the abutment region on the arm, so that the abutment surface is increased, but the elasticity of the strip is maintained in virtually all sections to the same extent.
