Definitions

  • My invention relates to brassires and is particularly directed to the method of joining and stitching the parts of the cup of a brassiere.
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of one of the lower sections of my cup, constituting a quarter of the 011D.
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view along the lines 3--3 of Figure 2 showing how the lower half of my cup is made by sewing together two sections like Figure 2 and two similar lining sections.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view showing the next step in the assembly of my cup after the position shown in Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 is a plan view of the top half of one of my cups before any stitching is done.
  • Figure 6 is a view of the step immediately following Figure 5 in the manufacture of my cup showing the top half folded over and stitched.
  • Figure 7 is a plan view of the step immediately following that shown in Figure 6, with the top half of the cup opened up.
  • Figure 8 is a plan view of the next step following that shown in Figure '7.
  • Figure 9 is a sectional view along the lines 99 of Figure 8 showing the position of the layers of the various sections.
  • Figure 10 is a sectional view showing the next step after Figure 9.
  • Figure 11 is a diagrammatic view showing the method of stitching my cup.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a complete brassiere I 0 including two of my cups l2, the conventional straps 14, body 16 and elastic l8.
  • each cup 12 is accentuated by the radial stitching 22, which moves in a somewhat regular pattern from the point of the cup 20 to the periphery of the cup.
  • the lower half of my cup is made from two substantially similar quarters 24, which are stitched together along line 26 in Figure 2 to form a central seam.
  • two quarter cup linings substantially similar in size and shape to quarter cup 24, are also cut and the two quarter cups and the two quarter linings are stacked with the two linings on top and the two quarter cups below.
  • the quarter cups and quarter linings may be identified in the drawings as follows.
  • the lower right quarter cup 28 is stacked on top of the lower left quarter cup 30 and the lower right quarter lining 32 is stacked on top of lower right quarter cup 28..
  • the lower left quarter lining 34 is then stacked on top of the lower right quarter lining 32, as is shown in Figure 3.
  • the upper half of my cup is made in on piece instead of two and is made from a pattern shown in Figure 5 and numbered generally 38.
  • This upper half of my cup comprises an upper right quarter cup 48 and an upper left quarter cup 42.
  • a seam 44 is made joining the upper cup quarters by sewing together edge 46 of upper right quarter cup 48 and edge 48 of upper left cup 42. The method of making this seam 44 is seen clearly by following the progression from the pattern 38, shown in Figure 5, through Figure 6 to Figure 7.
  • a lining for my upper half cup is then made in exactly the same manner that the upper half of my cup is made.
  • a pattern for the upper half of my lining indicated by 56 is cut and the upper right quarter 52 and the upper left quarter 54 of my lining are joined together to make a seam 56 and a final lining identical in size and shape with the upper half of my cup shown in position ready to be joined to the lower half of my cup in Figure '7.
  • a great advantage of this preferred embodiment of my method of stitching is that it saves a considerable amount of the operators time, as it takes time to break threads and start over again. Also, there is no duplication of stitching along any line that is not functional. It is deemed functional to tie the reversed sections 36 and 34 in position by stitching 36 which follows along the line of preliminary stitching 26, and similarly it is deemed functional to tie the sections 42 and 54 together by function stitching over the preliminary seam 58, and it is deemed functional ,stitching to follow the line of preliminary seam 44 from point 20 to point 2. Thus duplications are avoided and functional seams are made double for strength and to hold the parts in their final positions.
  • a brassire cup comprising a plurality of cup sections joined by a functional seam which extends in a substantially straight line radially from a central point in the cup toward the periphery thereof, and a plurality of substantially straight lines of stitching on each Cup section radiating from said central point of said cup radially toward the periphery thereof, said lines of stitching comp-rising a continuous thread common to all the lines of stitching with the outer ends of certain of the radially extending lines of stitching being joined by stitching formed by said continuous thread and extending along the periphery of the cup.
  • the method of making a brassiere cup having a point which includes the steps of cutting two substantially similar quarter cup sections and cutting two quarter cup linings, each substantially Similar to said quarter cup sections, stacking the said quarter cups and linings with the two quarter cups adjacent each other and the two quarter linings adjacent each other, sewing a functional seam through said stacked quarter cups and linings along the straight vertical edges thereof, reversing the outer quarter cup and the outer quarter lining over said functional seam so as to produce a lined first half cup section with the said quarter cups facing in one direction and the said quarter linings facing in the opposite direction, cutting a second half cup section and cutting a substantially similar half cup lining,
  • the method of making a brassiere cup as defined in claim 2 which also includes the steps of stitching said brassiere cup with a continuous thread along a decorative pattern which includes a plurality of straight lines extending radially from said central point in said cup toward the periphery of the cup, making certain of said radiating lines substantially coincide with said functional seams and with said functional dart, thus reinforcing said functional seams and said functional dart and distributing the remaining radiating lines of stitching between said functional seams with a plurality of such radiating lines of stitching on each said cup section between scams.
  • a brassiere cup including a half cup section and a pair of quarter cup sections, a functional dart in said half cup section and functional seams joining said cup sections at their contiguous edges, said functional dart and functional seams extending in substantially straight lines radially from a common centralpoint in the cup toward the periphery thereof and a decorative stitching on said cup sewn with a continuous thread along a decorative pattern that substantially coincides with said functional seams and said functional dart and that also includes a plurality of straight lines extending radially from said common central point in said cup toward the peri hery of the cup distributed between said functional seams on each of said cup sections.
  • a brassiere cup comprising a plurality of cup sections joined by functional seams which extend in substantially straight lines radially from a central point in the cup toward the periphery thereof, and a plurality of substantially straight lines of stitching radiating from said central point of the cup radially toward the periphery thereof, certain of said radiating lines of stitching coinciding with certain of said functional seams and reinforcing the same, and the remaining radiating lines of stitching being distributed between said functional seams with a plurality of such radiating lines of stitching on each cup section between the seams, said lines of stitching comprising a continuous thread common to all the lines of stitching with the outer ends of certain of the radially extending lines of stitching being joined by stitching formed by said continuous thread and extending along the periphery of the cup.
  • the method of making a sectional brassiere cup having a point which includes the steps of joining by stitching a plurality of cup sections along functional seams extending from the center of the cup radially to the periphery thereof, initiating a decorative pattern at the periphery of said cup by stitching the cup substantially coincident with certain of said functional seams to reinforce said seams, continuing said decorative pattern after stitching alon said certain functional seams by stitching said cup along additional radial lines from the center of said cup to the periphery thereof and completing the stitching of said decorative pattern at the periphery of the cup.
  • a .brassiere cup including a half cup section having a functional dart and a pair of quarter cup sections, functional seams joining said cup sections at their contiguous edges, said functional dart and functional seams extending substantially radially from a common central point in the cup toward the periphery thereof, a reinforcing and decorative pattern stitched on said cup, said pattern comprising radial stitched lines coinciding with said functional dart and said functional seams to reinforce said dart and said seams, and additional stitched lines extending radially from said comm-on central ,point on at least one of said cup sections distributed between said functional seams.
  • the method of making a sectional brassiere 7 cup having a point which includes the steps of joinin by stitching a plurality of cup sections along functional seams extending from the center of the cup radially to the periphery thereof, initiating a decorative pattern at the periphery of said cup, continuing said decorative pattern, including stitching the cup substantially coincident with one of said functional seams to reinforce said seam, by stitching said cup along radial lines from the center of said cup to the periphery thereof and completing the stitching of said decorative pattern at the periphery of the cup, said lines of stitching of said decorative pattern comprising a continuous thread.
