Abstract

A female clothing and core members which can keep a shape holding function and a shape creating function in the breast receiving cup portions of a female clothing even if the breasts swing or expand/shrink. This female clothing, having a pair of cup portions and core members at the lower edge portions of the cup portions, can be achieved by thin portions formed by making the core members thinner at portions within the range of 30 to 70 degrees from the substantially lowermost portions to the side end portions than at the remaining portions.

Description

Women's clothing and core material with lip

Technical field

The present invention relates to brassieres having a cup portion for receiving a breast, women's clothing such as body suits and swimwear, and a core material used for a cup portion of women's clothing.

Background art

For women's clothing such as brassieres that have a nipple, use a core material in the cup to provide a breast-retention or breast-forming function, such as to prevent the breast from sagging or spreading in the sideways direction. It has been known. The core has a substantially U-shaped or semicircular shape along the lower edge from the inside to the outside of the breast, and is made of a metal material such as stainless steel or a synthetic resin material.

For example, brassieres are often worn with cloth that passes from the cup part to the back side, that is, stretched around the body by the side pieces, and the core material is It deforms under force and adheres to the chest. In this way, the core material is brought into close contact with the skin to prevent the breast from spreading downward or aside from the gap between the cup and the skin.

A women's garment having this type of cored wrap portion is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-540204. The core material of the women's garment is formed such that one end of the center located at the center side of the pair of cup portions is thin and flat and wide, and is curved and inclined toward the non-body side. It is. This known core material has a thin, flat and wide distal end, so that the pressing force on the skin can be dispersed, and the distal end faces the side facing the body of the wearer. It is described in the above-mentioned publication that the skin does not cause pain without compressing the wearer's skin because it is inclined. However, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-504204 discloses a problem in which the wearer's walking and movements such as changes in posture impair the shape-preserving function and the molding function of the core material. No means for doing so is described.

In other words, when the wearer of women's clothing such as brassiere changes posture or performs exercises such as walking, the breasts oscillate, and the chest expands due to breathing exercises. It may shrink, the tensile strength of the side pieces may change, and the position may shift. The core material is deformed by the force from the side piece and adheres to the chest, so the core material in close contact with the chest due to the change in the tensile force of the side piece and displacement causes the original reaction force by itself. In order to return to the shape of the core, the part of the core material beside the cup part may separate from the wearer's body. By the action of such a core material, the gap between the side part of the cup part and the skin is enlarged, and the peripheral part of the breast is diffused in the side direction from this gap, so that the breast holding function and the breast forming function are impaired. Would.

Further, in addition to the above, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 7-90702, Japanese Patent Laid-open No. Hei 10-31010, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-92702, A core material for clothing is disclosed.

In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 7-99072, the wire 50 of FIGS. 10 and 11 is described as a core material. Here, FIG. 10 is an external view of the wire 50 and a cross-sectional view showing two portions cut in the width direction, and FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of the external view of FIG. In FIG. 10, the width of the wire 50 is the length indicated by W, and this direction is the width direction. Both figures show the same wire 50, and a thin portion 50a is provided in the middle of the wire 50 formed in a flat cross section, and this is defined as a bent portion 51. This thin portion 50a is formed near the connection between the cup portion of the bra and the side piece when the wire 50 is attached to the lower edge curved portion of the cup of the bra. The thin portion 50a is formed so that the center in the width direction is the thinnest from both sides of the wire 50, but both ends in the width direction are formed to be thick and extend in the axial direction. The reaction force of the wire that is in close contact with itself to return to its original shape is not reduced.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-31010 discloses a layer 60 as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13. Here, FIG. 12 is a plan view of the wire 60, and FIG. 13 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. The center portion of the wire 60 is made thinner than the other portions, gradually widened from both ends to the center, and further formed at the center lower edge so as to be narrower. Section 63 is provided. However, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-3100910 does not describe at all the central portion where the thickness is reduced and which section is formed. It is unknown how much fit can be obtained when wearing a rag. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-92702 discloses a wire in which a green raw material is insert-formed at the center. This wire is made of a resin material, and the elastic material in the center is made of a material having higher strength than the resin material, for example, stainless steel, glass, carbon arrowhead material. Also disclosed are wires formed so that the entire wall has a uniform thickness, and wires formed so that the central portion is thicker than other portions. Therefore, the reaction force of the wire in close contact with the chest trying to return to its original shape is increased by the elastic material, and there is a problem in that the shape-retaining function and the molding function of the wire are impaired.

Disclosure of the invention

An object of the present invention is to ensure that the shape retaining function and the molding function of the breast receiving cup portion of the women's garment can be favorably maintained even when the breast swings or the chest expands or contracts. To provide women's clothing and core material.

Further, an object of the present invention is to provide a good shape-retaining function and a molding function by sufficiently fitting to the body because the reaction force of the core material itself in close contact with the chest to return to the original shape is weak. Another object of the present invention is to provide a core material that does not easily bend even when a force is applied to a non-body side, and a female garment to which the core material is attached.

According to the present invention, there is provided a women's garment having a pair of left and right cup portions, and a core material at a lower edge portion of the cup portion, wherein the core material is a substantially lowermost point to a side end. The present invention provides a women's garment characterized by forming a thin portion by making the range of 30 to 70 ° thinner than the remaining portion.

Further, according to the present invention, a core material to be attached to the lower edge of the nap portion of the women's garment has a range of 30 to 70 ° from the substantially lowest point to the side edge. A core material provided with a thin portion having flexibility is provided.

Example

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the women's clothing and the core material of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a brassiere 1 which is an embodiment of the women's clothing according to the present invention. The brassiere 1 has a pair of left and right cups 3, and passes from the cups 3 to the back. The base material 5 a and the pack material 5 b are provided so as to rotate, and the lower peripheral portion 6 of the force-feed portion 3 from the center side 2 to the side 4 is provided with the core material shown in FIG. That is, wire 30 is provided.

Here, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a wire 30 as one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a side view of the wire 30 viewed from a direction of an arrow E in FIG. In FIG. 3, when the brassiere provided with the wire 30 is worn, the wearer's body is located on the dashed line arrow BD side.

The wire 30 is formed in a substantially semicircular shape along the lower peripheral edge from the inside to the outside of the force-feed portion 3, and has a center-side end 3 1 located on the center side 2 of the bra 1. And an intermediate portion between the center end 11 and the side end 13, that is, at the lower edge of the cup portion 3. And a lower edge curved portion 34 located thereon.

The wire 30 is formed in a substantially semicircular shape along the lower peripheral edge from the inside to the outside of the breast, and a predetermined section of the lower edge curved portion 34, that is, in the axial direction shown in FIG. The body in the section with section L5 as the minimum range and section L7 as the maximum range The entire width of the opposing surface is cut into a curved shape as shown in FIG. 3 to form a concave portion 35, thereby forming a thin portion 34a having flexibility, and a minimum thickness T4 of the thin portion 34a. To a thickness of about 4/10 to 6Z10 of the rest. On the other hand, the non-body side surface of the wire 30 is formed as a flat continuous surface over the entire length including the section of the thin portion 34a, or a flat continuous surface having a slight runout. The thickness of the wire 30 other than the thin portion 34a is preferably formed to be about 1.0 to 0.3 mm.For example, the wire 30 is formed to have a flat thickness of about 0.83 mm and a width of about 2 mni. When the cross section is made of stainless steel wire, the minimum thickness T4 of the thin part 34a is about 0.33 to 0.5 Omm, and the curved concave part 35 has a curvature of 130 OR. .

Note that the thin portion 34a of the wire 30 is not limited to the curved surface shape in FIG. 3, and may be formed to have the same thickness over the entire length of the section as shown by reference numeral 14a in FIG. In the wire 30, the width is the length shown by W2, and this direction is the width direction.

The lowest point 32 on the wire 30 is the point that is located at the lowest point in the vertical direction when the wire 30 is attached to the cup 3 of the female 1 "raw garment. The dotted line is the dotted line XI in Fig. 2, and the line drawn from the side end perpendicular to the dotted line XI is the dotted line X. The intersection X between the dotted line X and the dotted line X1 is defined as the following section It is the center point when representing the angles of L5, L6, and L 7. Section L 5 in Figure 2 shows the minimum range, 23 ° from the lowest point 32 to the side end 33, the lowest point It extends from 32 to 7 ° in the direction of the end 31 on the center side and 30 ° in both directions, and the section L 7 shows the maximum range, and extends from the lowest point 32 to the direction 33 on the side end. 60, and 10 ° from the lowest point 32 to the center end 31 and a range of 70 ° combined in both directions. The range is 53 ° from the lowest point 32 in the direction of the side end 33, 7 ° from the lowest point 32 in the direction of the center end 31, and a range of 60 ° in both directions.

Although not shown, the wire 30 may be provided with a coating on almost all surfaces including the thin portion 14a. The material of the coating is not particularly limited, but, for example, can be formed from a resin film such as polypropylene or bur. Since the wire 30 is provided with the thin portion 34a in the sections L5, L6, and L7, the wire 30 is elastically deformed by the reaction force generated in the sections L5, L6, and L7, that is, the bending force. The restoring force for returning from the state to the initial shape is reduced. For example, when the bending deformation is performed in the direction of arrow R2, the elastic deformation state is maintained relatively well.

When the brassiere 1 having such a wire 30 is worn, a bending force acts on the wire 30 from the back cloth 5b of the brassiere 1 or the like. Under this force, the thin portion 14a bends and deforms more easily in the direction of arrow R2 than the other portions, and the wire 10 adheres the lower peripheral portion 6 of the force-up portion 3 to the wearer's body. Let it. '' Then, if the wearer of the bra 1 changes his posture by exercising, such as walking, and the breast swings or bending his body forward, the bra 1 pack cloth 5b, etc. In some cases, the tensile force transmitted to the nip portion 3 may decrease, or the direction of action may slightly change. When the change in the pulling force and the direction of action is transmitted to the wire 30, the wire 30, which has been bent so as to be in close contact with the wearer's body, moves away from the wearer's body due to its own restoring force. (Arrow 2 in the direction of R 1). However, in the wire 30 of the present invention, the restoring force is weakened by the thin portion 34a, and the buckling force is also provided in the section where the thin portion 34a receives the greatest bending force. The restoring force of returning to the direction away from the body of the person is suppressed. Therefore, a gap between the lower peripheral portion 6 of the cup portion 3 and the wearer's skin is less likely to occur, and the breasts are less likely to flow in the side direction from this gap. Breast building function is well maintained.

Here, when the range in which the thin portion 34a is formed becomes shorter than the section L5, the restoring force for returning to the initial shape from the state deformed elastically by the bending force is sufficiently reduced. Therefore, if such a wire is used for the brassiere 1, the lower edge 6 of the cup part 3 and the skin of the wearer will try to restore in the direction away from the wearer's body. Gaps easily occur in the breast, and the breast-preserving function and the breast-forming function of the brassiere 1 are impaired.

On the other hand, if the range in which the thin portion 34 a is formed is longer than the section L 7, the restoring force after the elastic deformation is too low. The force that bends in the non-body direction acts on wire 30 In this case, there is a risk of deformation beyond the elastic limit.

When the wire is used for the brassiere 1, the section from the lowest point 32 of the wire 1 to the center end 31 is relatively smaller than the section from the lowest point 32 to the side end 33. Since a small bending force is applied, even if the thin portion 34a is provided beyond 10 ° from the lowest point 32 in the direction toward the center end 31, the wearer will not get a good fit. Can not. Therefore, it is preferable to form the thin portion 34a in the range of the section L6. In this case, the wire 30 can be appropriately elastically deformed and an appropriate restoring force can be obtained.

Next, different embodiments will be described with reference to FIGS.

In FIG. 4, the wire 10 has a predetermined width of the lower edge curved portion 14, that is, the entire width in the axial length L 2 shown in FIG. 2 is about 4/10 to 6 Z10 of the remaining portion. It is formed to a thickness. The thickness of the wire 10 other than the section L2 is preferably formed to be about 1.0 to 0.3 mm.For example, the wire 10 is formed to have a thickness of about 0.83 mm and a width of 2 mm. When formed from a stainless steel wire having a flat cross section of about, the section L2 is formed to have a thickness of about 0.33 to 0.5 O mm. In addition, in the wire 10, the width is a length illustrated by W 1, and this direction is a width direction.

It is preferable that the section L2 be set in a range from approximately the lowest point 12 of the wire 10 to approximately = 45 ° in the direction of the side end portion 13. At this time, the section L2 has a length of about 1Z2 of the section L1 from the lowermost point 12 of the wire 10 to the side end portion 13. The lower curved portion 14 of the wire 10 is a section where bending force is applied. Among the lower curved portions 14, the section L 2 receives a relatively large bending force. Then, the reaction force generated here, that is, the force for restoring the original shape from the elastic deformation state can be reduced.

Here, the substantially lowest point 12 of the wire 10 refers to a point located at the lowest point in the vertical direction when the wire 10 is attached to the cup # 53. In the wire 10, the lowest point 12 is a point at which the distance X 1 from the straight line X connecting the center end 11 and the side end 13 is almost maximum as shown in FIG. But also.

FIG. 5 shows the wire 10 in more detail, and is a side view seen from the direction of arrow A in FIG. Here, the brazier with wire 10 When the garment is worn, the wearer's body is located on the side of the dashed line arrow BD. As shown in FIG. 5, the entire width of the surface facing the body in the section L2 of the lower edge curved portion 14 of the wire 10 is set to be approximately 4/10 to 6 Z10 of the other portion. The recess 15 is formed by cutting out only the thin portion 14a. On the other hand, the non-body side surface of the wire 10 is formed as a flat continuous surface over the entire length including the section L2 or a flat continuous surface having a slight twist.

Although not shown, the wire 30 may be provided with a coating on almost all surfaces including the thin portion 14a. Although the material of the coating is not particularly limited, for example, it can be formed from a resin film such as polypropylene or vinyl. When the wire 10 is bent and deformed in the direction of the arrow R2 by the thin portion 14a, the reaction force in the axial direction of the wire is reduced, and thus the wire 10 is easily bent and deformed. Further, the restoring force for returning to the initial shape from the state of being elastically deformed by the bending force is also weakened by the thin portion 14a.

When such a wire 10 is applied to the brassiere 1, as in the case of the wire 30 described above, the wire 10 flexes flexibly at the thin portion 14a, and the wire 10 wears the lower peripheral portion 6 of the cup portion 3. To the body of the person. The restoring force of the wire 10 is weakened by the thin portion 14a, and the thin portion 14a is provided in a section where the bending force is greatest, so that the wire 10 moves away from the wearer's body. The movement to return is suppressed. Therefore, a gap between the lower peripheral edge portion 6 of the cup portion 3 and the wearer's skin is less likely to occur, and the breast is less likely to flow in the side direction from this gap. Function is well maintained. Next, different embodiments will be described with reference to FIGS.

6 to 9 are cross-sectional views.The appearance of each wire is almost the same as that of the wire 10 in FIG. 4, so that each appearance is omitted, and a portion corresponding to the dashed line in FIG. Mark B—A cross-sectional view as viewed from the B direction is shown. The wearer's body is shown as being located on the dashed line arrow BD side, and section L2 shows the same position as in FIG.

In FIG. 6, the total width of the surface facing the body in the section L2 of the lower edge curved portion 1 14 of the wire 110 is set to about 4Z 10 to 6/1 of the other portion of the lower edge curved portion 1 14. Cut out by a thickness of about 0 to form an M indentation 1 1 5 and make it a thin section 1 1 4 a, while The non-body side surface is formed as a flat continuous surface over the entire length. Then, the wire rod 11 is thinner than the thin-walled part 114a and has substantially the same length and the same width as the entire length of the wire 110 so that the clearance 117 is formed inside the recessed part 115. 6 is fixed to the surface facing the body, and both sides of the body facing side and the non-body side are formed to be flat continuous surfaces over the entire length.

When a force that bends and deforms the wire 110 in the direction of the arrow R2 is applied, the reaction force in the material axis direction at the thin-walled portion 114a is weaker than that of the other parts. Also, the restoring force of returning from the initial state to the initial state becomes weak, and the movement of the wire 110 returning to the direction away from the wearer's body is suppressed. On the other hand, when a force that bends and deforms the wire 110 in the direction of arrow R1 is applied, the material 1 16 is provided on the side facing the body, so bending deformation in the direction of arrow R1 is suppressed. Is done. Therefore, the wire 110 is relatively easily bent and deformed in the direction of arrow R2, and hardly bent and deformed in the direction of arrow R1.

Next, in the wire 210 of FIG. 7, the surface facing the body in the section L2 of the lower edge curved portion 2 14 has approximately 4 Z 10 to An M notch 2 15 cut out by a thickness of about 6 Z 10 is provided, thereby forming a thin portion 2 14 a, and the non-body side surface is formed as a continuous surface over the entire length. Notches 2 14 b are provided on both sides of the recess 2 15, so that a clearance 2 17 is formed inside the recess 2 15 and the side facing the body is a continuous surface over the entire length. A wire 2 16 thinner than the thin portion 1 14 a and having the same width is fixed with both notches 2 14 b.

When a force is applied to the wire 210 to bend and deform in the directions of the arrows R1 and R2, the same operation as the wire 110 in FIG. 6 is obtained. Next, in the wire 310 of FIG. 8, the entire width of the non-body-side surface in the section L2 of the lower edge curved portion 3 14 is set to about 4 Z 10 of the other portion of the lower edge curved portion 3 14. 66 Z 10 Notch thickness is provided to provide a recess 3 15, thereby forming a thin wall 3 14 a, while the surface facing the body is a flat continuous surface over the entire length Formed. A bending prevention member 20 of the same length is fitted into the recessed portion 3 15 so that no gap is formed, and the bottom surface is fixed to the recessed portion 3 15 with an adhesive or the like. 0a is only brought into contact with the recess 315, and is not fixed by an adhesive or the like. this The bending prevention member 20 is made of a material that is extensible when a tensile force is applied, but is resistant to contraction when a compressive force is applied, such as rubber. Is preferred. When the wire 310 is bent in the direction of the arrow R2, the reaction force in the material axis direction at the thin portion 314a is weakened, and the bending prevention member 20 has both end faces 20. Since a is not bonded and fixed to the recess 3 15, it does not restrict the bending deformation of the thin portion 3 1 4 a, and therefore, when a bending force is applied in the direction of arrow R 2, the bending prevention member 20 becomes Due to the extension, the wire 310 can be relatively easily bent and deformed. On the other hand, when the wire 310 is bent and deformed in the direction of the arrow R1, the bend preventing member 20 does not shrink and abuts against both end surfaces of the recessed portion 315 to bend like a projecting rod. Because of the force, it is relatively difficult to bend away from the body. ,

The wire 410 of FIG. 9 differs from the wire 310 of FIG. 8 only in that a metal wire 25 is embedded inside the bending prevention member 20. Same as wire 310. The same components have the same reference characters allotted, and description thereof will not be repeated. In the wire 410, the metal wire 25 is not fixed to any part of the recessed portion 315, so when it is bent in the direction of arrow R2, the same as the wire 310 in FIG. Bendable. On the other hand, when the wire 4 10 is to be bent in the direction of the arrow R 1, in addition to the reaction force from the bending preventing member 20, both ends of the concave portion 3 15 It also makes it relatively difficult to bend away from the body because the reaction force is also acting. As described above, if the wires 110, 210, 310, 410 described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9 are provided at the peripheral portion of the power-up portion of women's clothing such as a bra, As in the case of Figs. 2 and 4 in Fig. 4, the gap between the lower peripheral portion of the cup portion and the wearer's skin is less likely to occur, and the flow of the breast in the side direction from this gap is reduced. The breast-preserving function and the breast-forming function in the garment of the clothing are well maintained. Also, when a force that bends toward the non-body side acts on the wires 110, 210, 310, 410 when attaching or detaching or washing women's clothing, The non-body side reaction force in the axial direction prevents bending.

Further, in the present invention, as a women's garment having a cup portion for receiving a breast, Examples include, but are not limited to, brassiere, plush slip, bra camisole, pod suit, swimsuit, and the like. In the present invention, the wire is a linear member formed from a metal material such as stainless steel, and the bone is a linear member formed from a synthetic resin material, animal bones such as whales, or body hair.
