Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a brassiere.
  • a brassiere of a half-top type utilizing elastic cloth has been provided. Since a brassiere of the half-top type has less feeling of pressure during wearing, it is widely used as a first brassiere for growing girls and for sports.
  • the pad when a pad is merely accommodated between two cloths, the pad may be easily moved and the pad may become bent during washing. A position of the pad may become significantly deviated from the bust during intense exercise. A shape and a position of the pad may have to be adjusted occasionally, and this causes inconvenience.
  • busts of different sizes can be supported by one pad.
  • movement of the pad in the front-rear direction is also limited, and therefore it is necessary to provide pads of different sizes in advance according to several sizes of busts.
  • the softness of the pad may be impaired by hardening of the adhesive, and a wearer may feel a sense of discomfort.
  • An objective of the present invention is to provide a brassiere that can support busts of different sizes and has excellent comfort during wearing.
  • the pad ( 6 ) is fixed to the cup part ( 2 ) via the plurality of first connection parts ( 7 ), and all or a part of the plurality of first connection parts ( 7 ) are elastic members.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an external appearance of a brassiere of the present embodiment.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of a front body.
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view illustrating the brassiere from which a lining has been removed viewing the inner side.
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view illustrating a modified example of the brassiere.
  • upward means a direction Y 1 in the drawings and downward means a direction Y 2 in the drawing.
  • right means a direction X 1 in the drawings
  • left means a direction X 2 in the drawings.
  • Forward from a wearer means a direction Z 1 and rearward from a wearer means the direction Z 2 .
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an external appearance of a brassiere 1 of one embodiment of the present invention.
  • the brassiere 1 includes a pair of cup parts 2 , a back-surface part 3 and a pair of shoulder parts 4 .
  • the cup parts 2 cover a bust of a wearer.
  • the back-surface part 3 extends from both left and right armpits of the cup parts 2 to a back surface of the wearer to cover the back surface.
  • the shoulder parts 4 connect the cup parts 2 and the back-surface part 3 and are hung on the left and right shoulders of the wearer.
  • the brassiere 1 can be formed by connecting, for example, shoulders and armpits of a front body 51 and a back body 52 each having a neckline and an armhole. Positions of lower ends of the front body 51 and the back body 52 may be referred to as, for example, a lower side of the bust.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a configuration of the front body 51 .
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along line A-A in FIG. 1 .
  • the front body 51 includes an outer fabric 51 A and a lining 51 B.
  • Shapes of the outer fabric 51 A and the lining 51 B are the same, and necklines, armholes, armpits, and lower ends thereof are sewn together.
  • the lining 51 B is positioned on an inner side which is in contact with the wearer, and the outer fabric 51 A is positioned on an outer side opposite to the wearer.
  • Materials of the front body 51 and the back body 52 preferably have flexibility and elasticity. Thereby, it is easy for the wearer to move and comfort is enhanced. Also, a material having sweat absorbency improves comfort during wearing and is also preferable. As such a material, for example, cotton, acrylic, nylon, polyurethane, or the like may be exemplified.
  • the brassiere 1 of the present embodiment includes an elastic member 53 such as a rubber provided at the lower ends of the front body 51 and the back body 52 .
  • the elastic member 53 facilitates fitting of the brassiere 1 to the wearer's body.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the brassiere 1 from which the lining 51 B has been removed viewing the inner side that is in contact with the wearer.
  • the brassiere 1 includes a pad 6 , a plurality of first connection parts 7 , and a second connection part 8 between the outer fabric 51 A and the lining 51 B of the cup parts 2 .
  • the pad 6 of the present embodiment has a triangular shape
  • the pad 6 may have a shape in which left or right corner portions of the triangular shape extend to the armpit side to cover not only the bust but also a part of the armpit. According to such a shape, a vicinity of the armpit in which lymph glands are present can also be supported by the pad 6 , and comfort of a wearer in a growth phase is particularly improved.
  • the shape of the pad 6 is not particularly limited as long as it can cover the bust.
  • the pad 6 may have a simple triangular shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a rectangular shape, a lemon shape, or the like, or may have an irregular shape.
  • the pad 6 when the pad 6 has a convex shape that curves with a top 6 a as a center, the pad 6 fits a shape of the bust and the supportability is improved.
  • a material of the pad 6 a material having softness and elasticity such as, for example, urethane, silicon, or cotton can be used.
  • the pad 6 is fixed to the cup part 2 via the plurality of first connection parts 7 .
  • one end portions of the plurality of first connection parts 7 are sewn to the pad 6 and the other end portions thereof are sewn to the cup part 2 , and thereby the pad 6 is fixed to the cup part 2 .
  • the pad 6 Since the pad 6 is fixed at a plurality of positions, bending of the pad 6 and positional deviation of the pad 6 from a bust position can be effectively curbed during washing or exercise. Since an adhesive is not used for fixing, the pad 6 can also be prevented from being hardened by the adhesive, and comfort during wearing is improved.
  • the first connection part 7 has a fixed length d 1 .
  • the pad 6 is fixed to the cup part 2 at a position away from the cup part 2 by the length d 1 . Therefore, the pad 6 is movable within a fixed range while being fixed to the cup part 2 .
  • the pad 6 is movable in a front-rear direction (direction Z 1 and direction Z 2 ) with respect to the wearer according to a bust size of the wearer. Therefore, the pad 6 is movable forward in a case of a large bust size, and busts of different sizes can be supported by one-size pad 6 .
  • the pad 6 is also movable in a vertical direction (direction Y 1 and direction Y 2 ) and a lateral direction (direction X 1 and direction X 2 ) conforming to a bust that shakes during exercise. Therefore, the brassiere 1 , which allows the wearer to move easily and has excellent comfort, can be provided.
  • the length d 1 from the end portion of the first connection part 7 on the pad 6 side to the end portion thereof on the cup part 2 side can be set as appropriate in consideration of an allowable movable range of the pad 6 .
  • the length d 1 of each first connection part 7 may be the same as or different from each other.
  • All or a part of the plurality of first connection parts 7 are elastic members.
  • the first connection part 7 which is the elastic member, allows the pad 6 to move the length d 1 of the first connection part 7 or more, and thus supportability for the bust is enhanced. Also, since the length d 1 of the first connection part 7 , which is an elastic member, can be reduced, a sense of discomfort due to slackening thereof can be reduced, and comfort can be enhanced.
  • the number of first connection parts 7 is preferably three or more. When the number is three or more, the pad 6 is easily fixed and does not easily bend.
  • the number of first connection parts 7 in the present embodiment is five.
  • the plurality of first connection parts 7 are preferably disposed at positions in which a length (distance) d 2 of a perpendicular line from a center of a line connecting two adjacent first connection parts 7 to an end portion of the pad 6 is 1 cm or less. Thereby, the number of the first connection parts 7 disposed can be reduced while effectively suppressing bending of the pad 6 .
  • first connection parts 7 of the present embodiment are each a tape member, the first connection part 7 is not limited to a tape form and may be another form as long as it has a fixed length d 1 .
  • a pair of pads 6 are connected to each other via the second connection part 8 .
  • the pads 6 are connected by sewing both ends of the second connection part 8 onto end portions of the pads 6 on a front center M side.
  • the pads 6 are each movable within a fixed range while being fixed to each other.
  • the pads 6 are movable according to a size or movement of the bust. Therefore, busts of different sizes can be supported by one-size pad 6 , and the brassiere 1 that allows easy movement of the wearer and is comfortable can be provided.
  • the length d 3 from an end portion of the second connection part 8 on the left cup part 2 side to an end portion thereof on the right cup part 2 side can be set as appropriate in consideration of an allowable movable range of the pads 6 .
  • the second connection part 8 may or may not be an elastic member. As the elasticity of the second connection part 8 increases, it becomes easier for the pad 6 to move and it becomes easier for the wearer to move. On the other hand, as the elasticity decreases, it becomes easier to suppress positional deviation of the pad 6 to the armpit side.
  • the second connection part 8 of the present embodiment is a tape member, but the form is not limited thereto as long as it has a fixed length d 3 .
  • the first connection part 7 and the second connection part 8 adjacent to each other are preferably disposed at positions in which a length (distance) d 2 of a perpendicular line from a center of a line connecting the first connection part 7 and the second connection part 8 to an end portion of the pad 6 is 1 cm or less.
  • a position of the pad 6 is fixed in six directions by five first connection parts 7 and one second connection part 8 .
  • the length d 2 of the perpendicular line from the line connecting two adjacent connection parts is 1 cm or less. Therefore, there is little room for the pad 6 to bend.
  • the number and positions of the first connection parts 7 can be set according to a shape and size of the pad 6 .
  • the number of first connection parts 7 can be set to three. Even with the same circular shape, when a size of a bust is large, the number of first connection parts 7 may be set to five.
  • the number of second connection parts 8 is not limited to one and may be a plural number.
  • the first connection parts 7 and the second connection part 8 of the present embodiment are separate members from the pad 6 but may be an integrated member with respect to the pad 6 .
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a brassiere 1 B in which the second connection part 8 is a part of the pad 6 .
  • left and right circular pad portions 61 and a second connection part 8 B connecting the pad portions 61 are configured by one member.
  • first connection parts 7 can be reduced and, for example, three first connection parts 7 may be disposed on the armpit side.
  • the pad 6 is fixed to the cup part 2 by the plurality of first connection parts 7 . Therefore, bending and positional deviation of the pad 6 can be reduced. Also, an adhesive is not used to fix the pad 6 so that softness of the pad 6 can be maintained.
  • the pad 6 Since the first connection parts 7 have the fixed length d 1 and all or a part of the plurality of first connection parts 7 are elastic members, the pad 6 is movable within a fixed range while being fixed. Therefore, the pad 6 can move in a front-rear direction to support busts of different sizes. Also, since the pad 6 can be moved in a vertical direction or a lateral direction according to a bust, a fitting feeling is enhanced and comfort during wearing is enhanced.
  • the present invention can be applied not only to a brassiere but also to any garment as long as it has cup parts that support a bust of a wearer and can shape a bust such as shape retaining, shape forming, or the like with a pad.
  • a garment for example, a body suit, a three-in-one, a leotard, or swimming wear can be exemplified in addition to a tank top, a slip, a camisole, and a dress which have cups.
