FIG. 7 is a side view of the undercup insert member shown inFIG. 4 ; and -
FIG. 8 is a top view of the undercup insert member shown inFIG. 4 . - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, there is shown an undercup insertmember 10 for a brassiere. The undercup insertmember 10 is in the form of an underwire for a cup of a brassiere. Theinsert member 10 comprises an elongate curvedmain portion 12 formed of a plastics material, and is curved to conform to the size and shape of the breast to be supported. Theinsert member 10 is sewn into a hem underneath the cups of the brassiere to provide support for the breast. - The
main portion 12 is formed by moulding and has a profile of a generally oval configuration. In some embodiments, the profile may be of a kidney shape. Themain portion 12 hasopposite ends - The provision in the preferred embodiments of the
main portion 12 having a generally oval profile and having rounded ends provide the advantage that there is a reduced risk of theinsert member 10 piercing the brassiere. - The
undercup insert member 10 is formed of a suitable plastics material which combines sufficient rigidity to provide support to the breast, and also sufficient flexibility to allow bending and twisting of theinsert member 10 during use and washing so that it will return to its original configuration. A suitable such material is an acetal homopolymer resin, for example as sold under the trade mark Delrin, a registered trade mark of E.I. du Port de Nemours and Company. - Another embodiment of the invention is shown in
FIGS. 3 , 3A and 3B which is generally similar to the embodiment shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , and comprises the same features. These features have been labelled with the same reference numerals. In addition to the features shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 also includesflange members ends main portion 12. The flange members may be formed of the same material as themain portion 12. Alternatively, the flange members can be formed of a rubberised material, which may be a rubberised version of the material from which themain portion 12 is formed. Theflange members FIGS. 3A and 3B , the profile of themain portion 12 is generally kidney shaped. - In some embodiments, the
flange members main portion 12, as shown in broken lines inFIG. 3 , and designated by the numeral 22, to allow stitching along the length of themain portion 12. This would be particularly suitable for use in sports brassieres, and allows the insert member to be stitched into the brassiere substantially along the whole of the length of themain portion 12. - A further embodiment is shown in
FIGS. 4 to 8 which is generally similar to the embodiments shown inFIGS. 1 to 3B , and comprises many of the same features. These features have been labelled with the same reference numerals. - The embodiment shown in
FIGS. 4 to 8 differs from those shown inFIGS. 1 to 3B in that themain portion 12 comprises two regions, a first orouter region 30, and a second orinner region 32. Theinsert member 10 shown inFIGS. 4 to 7 is sewn into the brassiere such that theouter region 30 is arranged adjacent the outer region of the breast, and theinner region 32 arranged adjacent the inner region of the breast. - The
outer region 30 has a profile shown inFIG. 6 which comprises first and second oppositeelongate support elements element 38. The connectingelement 38 is of a narrower width than thesupport element outer region 30 is generally of an hour glass shape, as shown. - The provision of the
outer region 30 having a profile of an hour glass shape provides the advantage that it allows the outer part to twist when the brassiere is put on and therefore provides improved aesthetics and is more comfortable for the wearer. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , theouter region 32 of themain portion 12 has a profile which is generally oval in shape. - There is thus described several embodiments of an insert for a brassiere which is formed of a plastics material and the preferred embodiments of which have an oval profile and rounded ends. Thus, the preferred embodiments have the advantage that they will not rust or otherwise corrode but also, they have the advantage of overcoming a problem with prior art insert members, whereby if the coating is worn away after continuous use to reveal bare metal, there is danger of piercing the body of the wearer. Also, a disadvantage of prior art insert members is that they can be detected by metal detecting machines, for example at airports causing embarrassment to the wearer. The provision of and undercup insert member formed of a plastics materials overcome such problems.
- Various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention, for example the main portion could have a generally circular profile. In addition, the insert member could be used in other forms of breast supporting underwear, or in swimsuits.
- It will be appreciated that the dimensions and sized of the insert member will vary depending upon the size of the breast to be supported by the brassiere.
- Whilst endeavouring in the foregoing specification to draw attention to those features of the invention believed to be of particular importance it should be understood that the Applicant claims protection in respect of any patentable feature or combination of features hereinbefore referred to and/or shown in the drawings whether or not particular emphasis has been placed thereon.
