Definitions

  • This invention relates to brassieres.
  • the present invention provides an improved brassiere by which these various disadvantages are avoided.
  • a brassiere according to the invention is characterised in that it is provided around, at the edge of, or on the front parts intended to fit the curved form, with one or more knitted bands of any suitable textile secured to the base material of the brassire by an extensible stitched seam, either of fast stitches in a zig-zag or lozenge shaped course, or of inherently extensible stitches such as zig-zag stitches or chain stitches.
  • the bands may be knitted on a rectilinear or circular frame in chain-stitch or look-stitch (interlock).
  • the same effect is obtained by binding, surrounding or covering those parts of the brassiere that require to accommodate themselves to a degree of extension, with plaited or braided bands, which, as regards extensibility, are substantially equivalent to knitted bands.
  • knitted or plaited or braided bands can be applied without pleats or darts to parts of high curvature, particularly to the peripheries of the breast pockets.
  • the improved brassiere affords perfect modelling to the breasts even and especially when they are of a fullness greater than the relaxed pockets, and this without any risk of cutting the flesh.
  • the edge-binding may be applied along the lower edge or waist-band of the brassiere, along the upper edge at the back and about the whole peripheries of the pockets; the entire surface of the latter may even be covered with a knitted band, for example, coiled in a spiral.
  • Reference a designates the or one of the bands
  • these bands are shown applied along the lower edge or waist-band c of the brassiere and around the breast pockets 1) whence they can be prolonged to form the shoulder straps.
  • each pocket may also, as shown in chain-dotted lines at a be entirely covered by means of such a band, for example, coiled in a spiral, contiguous or otherwise, or equally by means of several circular bands.
  • a band a can also be provided along the upper edge of the back d and continue along the transverse edge 01 of the back portions.
  • the bands at are secured to the base material ,1 of the brassiere (of tulle, lace, cambric or other material, reinforced in places, for example at s, by satin) by extensible stitched seams p, either in fast stitches following a zig-zag or lozenge shaped path, executed by means of an ordinary sewing machine, or in stitches individually extensible, executed with an embroidery or chain-stitching machine, or any other modern machine, as commonly employed in the hosiery trade, making extensible stitches.
  • a breast supporting unit comprising in combination a breast pocket; a knitted binding band having a-certain limited stretchability in longitudinal direction of said band; and extensible stitches. extensibly securing said binding band along the edge of said breast pocket circumferentially encircling at least part of said breast pocket.
  • a brassiere comprising in combination two breast pockets secured at their inner edges to each other; two body portions each secured at one end to the outer edge of one of the breast pockets; means for attaching said body portions at their other ends to each other; and two binding bands having a certain limited stretchability in longitudinal direction, eachof said bands extensiblyrsecuredalongthe edge of one of the breast pockets circumferentially encircling the same and having a free end portion secured at its other end to the rear end of the corresponding body portion so as to form a shoulder strap.
