Description

Soutien-gorge réglable, notamment de sport Adjustable bra, including sports bra
La présente invention concerne un soutien-gorge réglable au niveau des bretelles et du dos, notamment un soutien-gorge de sport réglable destiné notamment aux femmes sportives, ainsi qu'aux jeunes femmes en période de croissance.The present invention relates to an adjustable bra at the straps and back, including an adjustable sports bra especially for women sports, and young women in times of growth.
Lorsque les femmes pratiquent un sport, elles risquent d'être gênées par des déplacements de la poitrine dus aux mouvements du corps. Pour éviter ce problème, les femmes portent souvent des soutiens-gorge de sport. Habituellement, ce type de soutien-gorge couvre entièrement les seins en réalisant un maintien ferme pour permettre de limiter les mouvements des seins, et il ne comporte pas d'agrafes ni d'armatures afin d'éviter des blessures accidentelles de la peau.When women practice a sport, they may be hampered by movements of the chest due to body movements. To avoid this problem, women often wear sports bras. Usually, this type of bra fully covers the breasts with firm support to limit breast movement, and does not have staples or frames to prevent accidental injury to the skin.
Les soutiens-gorge de sport sont également utilisés chez les jeunes femmes en période de croissance car ils permettent de minimiser la pression sur les seins très sensibles.Sports bras are also used in young women during growth because they help to minimize pressure on very sensitive breasts.
Cependant, ce type de soutien-gorge n'est généralement réglable qu'au niveau de la longueur de bretelles, et non pas au niveau de la bande dorsale qui entoure le buste de l'utilisatrice. De ce fait, les femmes ont souvent de la difficulté à trouver des soutiens-gorge qui correspondent bien à leur morphologie.However, this type of bra is generally adjustable at the level of the length of straps, not at the level of the backstrap that surrounds the bust of the user. As a result, women often find it difficult to find bras that match their body shape.
On pourra se référer au document US 2 455 036 qui décrit un soutien gorge permettant un auto-ajustement des bretelles et du dos avec les mouvements du corps. Ce soutien-gorge comporte deux bretelles fixées sur le bord supérieur d'un bonnet respectif et passant sur l'épaule, puis dans le dos de l'utilisatrice en se croisant pour aller se fixer sur le bord latéral extérieur de l'autre bonnet, ledit soutien-gorge comportant aussi une pièce dorsale indépendante sous forme d'anneau dans laquelle lesdites bretelles passent de manière coulissante en se croisant. Ce système permet aux utilisatrices de pouvoir ajuster avec un seul organe de réglage à la fois la longueur des bretelles nécessaire au niveau des épaules mais aussi celle nécessaire pour l'ajustement au niveau du buste. Cependant cette pièce dorsale est un simple anneau métallique dans lequel se croisent les bretelles et ne permet pas un coulissement facile des bretelles. Il risque de ne pas résister à des mouvements intenses, par conséquent ce soutien-gorge n'est pas conçu pour un usage sportif. De plus, l'anneau métallique n'est pas confortable pour l'utilisatrice et pose des problèmes délicats lors du lavage des soutiens-gorge, avec le risque d'entraîner des salissures ou un effilochage des matières textiles environnantes.Reference can be made to US Pat. No. 2,455,036, which describes a bra allowing self-adjustment of the straps and the back with the movements of the body. This bra has two straps attached to the upper edge of a respective cap and passing over the shoulder, then in the back of the user by crossing to go to attach to the outer side edge of the other cup, said bra also having an independent dorsal piece in the form of a ring in which said straps slidably pass by crossing each other. This system allows users to be able to adjust with only one adjustment member at a time the length of the shoulder straps necessary at the shoulders but also that necessary for the adjustment at the level of the bust. However, this dorsal piece is a simple metal ring in which the shoulder straps intersect and does not allow easy sliding of the straps. It may not withstand intense movement, therefore this bra is not designed for sports use. In addition, the metal ring is not comfortable for the user and poses delicate problems when washing the bras, with the risk of causing dirt or fraying surrounding textile materials.
Un problème qui se pose et que vise à résoudre la présente invention, est de fournir un soutien-gorge, notamment de sport, réglable au niveau du buste ainsi qu'au niveau des bretelles d'épaule, et qui ne présente pas les inconvénients précités.A problem that arises and that aims to solve the present invention is to provide a bra, including sports, adjustable at the level of the chest and shoulder straps, and which does not have the aforementioned drawbacks .
Dans le but de résoudre ce problème, la présente invention propose un soutien-gorge comportant deux bonnets reliés l'un à l'autre par l'intermédiaire d'une zone de liaison, et deux bretelles, lesdits bonnets présentant un bord supérieur et un bord latéral extérieur situé à l'opposé de ladite zone de liaison par rapport audit bonnet, chacune desdites bretelles s'étendant au moins à partir du bord supérieur dudit bonnet et étant destinée à passer sur l'épaule, puis dans le dos de l'utilisatrice et à se prolonger vers un desdits bords latéraux extérieur de bonnet, ledit soutien-gorge présentant une pièce dorsale indépendante des bonnets dans laquelle lesdites bretelles passent de manière coulissante, caractérisé en ce que ladite pièce dorsale est un dispositif de déviation destiné à dévier horizontalement lesdites bretelles vers ledit bord latéral extérieur de bonnet en entourant le torse de l'utilisatrice, ladite pièce dorsale étant une pièce plane présentant au moins deux épaisseurs susceptibles de former entre elles des passages intérieurs pour pouvoir passer lesdites bretelles, les passages débouchant au niveau d'ouvertures disposées de façon à former sensiblement un triangle sur la pièce dorsale.In order to solve this problem, the present invention proposes a bra comprising two cups connected to each other via a connecting zone, and two shoulder straps, said cups having an upper edge and a outer lateral edge located opposite said connecting zone with respect to said cap, each of said straps extending at least from the upper edge of said cap and being intended to pass over the shoulder, then in the back of the user and to extend to one of said outer side cup edges, said bra having a dorsal piece independent of the cups in which said straps pass slidably, characterized in that said back piece is a deflection device for deflecting horizontally said straps to said outer side cap edge surrounding the torso of the user, said back piece being a flat piece having at least two thicknesses capable of forming internal passages between them to be able to pass said straps, the passages opening at the level of openings arranged to form substantially a triangle on the back piece.
Ainsi, les bretelles coulissent dans une pièce plane qui n'entraîne pas d'inconfort pour l'utilisatrice. D'autre part, en ramenant les bretelles vers l'horizontale au niveau du buste, le soutien-gorge de l'invention offre un maintien et une esthétique comparable à un soutien-gorge classique à bande dorsale, tout en permettant un auto-ajustement au niveau des épaules et du dos. Le soutien-gorge permet d'obtenir une amélioration du soutien et du confort des seins notamment lors de la pratique des sports.Thus, the straps slide in a flat piece that does not cause discomfort for the user. On the other hand, by bringing back the suspenders horizontally at the level of the bust, the bra of the invention offers a maintenance and aesthetics comparable to a conventional bra with backband, while allowing self-adjustment at the shoulders and back. The bra helps to improve the support and comfort of the breasts, especially when playing sports.
Chaque bretelle qui s'étend à partir du haut d'un bonnet respectif pour rejoindre dans le dos le bord latéral extérieur du même bonnet ou du bonnet opposé, suivant les modes de réalisation, peut être fixée en haut du bonnet et sur le bord latéral du bonnet (directement ou par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce prolongeant latéralement le bonnet). Elle peut aussi n'être pas fixée directement à l'une de ces deux zones, mais simplement y passer et poursuivre son trajet par exemple dans un passage formé dans le bonnet pour être fixée plus loin ou même pour former une bretelle continue. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, ladite pièce dorsale est réalisée en matière textile, notamment une matière tricotée ou un tissu. Les deux épaisseurs de la pièce dorsale peuvent être formées par deux épaisseurs textiles superposées et maintenues par couture, soudure et/ou collage et ménageant en elles les passages pour les bretelles. Les passages peuvent aussi être formés par des fourreaux spéciaux accolés à une ou deux épaisseurs textiles, ces fourreaux étant avantageusement réalisés dans une matière résistante à faible coefficient de frottement pour favoriser le glissement des bretelles. La matière textile présente de préférence une certaine extensibilité et/ou une certaine rigidité, laquelle peut être conférée par la nature du textile, par un composant additionnel tel qu'une enduction en surface (notamment une enduction de colle pour assembler les deux épaisseurs textiles) ou un apport de matière localisé. Grâce à ces caractéristiques, la pièce dorsale peut se déformer naturellement et sans contrainte lors de la pratique des sports tout en offrant un bon guidage aux bretelles dans le dos. Selon un mode de réalisation, la pièce dorsale comporte au moins une armature destiné à renforcer les passages pour lesdites bretelles. Les armatures sont ajoutées afin de faciliter le coulissement des bretelles.Each strap that extends from the top of a respective cap to join in the back the outer side edge of the same cup or the opposite cup, according to the embodiments, can be attached to the top of the cup and to the side edge cup (directly or through a piece extending laterally the cup). It may also not be fixed directly to one of these two areas, but simply pass and continue its journey for example in a passage formed in the cap to be fixed further or even to form a continuous ramp. According to a preferred embodiment, said back piece is made of textile material, in particular a knitted material or a fabric. The two thicknesses of the back piece can be formed by two textile layers superimposed and maintained by stitching, welding and / or gluing and leaving in them the passages for the straps. The passages may also be formed by special sleeves contiguous to one or two textile layers, these sleeves being advantageously made of a resistant material with low coefficient of friction to promote the sliding of the shoulder straps. The textile material preferably has a certain extensibility and / or rigidity, which can be conferred by the nature of the textile, by an additional component such as a surface coating (especially a glue coating to assemble the two textile layers) or a supply of localized material. Thanks to these characteristics, the back piece can deform naturally and without constraint during the practice of sports while offering a good guidance to the straps in the back. According to one embodiment, the backpiece comprises at least one armature for reinforcing the passages for said straps. The frames are added to facilitate the sliding of the straps.
Selon un mode de réalisation, les bretelles se croisent dans ou au voisinage de la pièce dorsale, pour rejoindre le bonnet opposé à celui dont elles sont issues.According to one embodiment, the straps intersect in or near the dorsal piece to join the cup opposite to the one from which they are derived.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, au contraire, les bretelles arrivent sensiblement parallèlement dans ou au voisinage de ladite pièce dorsale et en repartent sans se croiser pour rejoindre le même bonnet que celui dont elles sont issues.According to another embodiment, on the contrary, the straps arrive substantially parallel in or in the vicinity of said back piece and leave without crossing to reach the same cap as the one from which they came.
De préférence, chacune desdites bretelles est munie d'au moins un dispositif de réglage de la longueur. Cette disposition a pour but d'ajuster aisément la forme du soutien-gorge selon la morphologie de l'utilisatrice. En complément ou en alternative, chaque bretelle peut être réalisée dans une matière élastique qui permet l'auto-ajustement du soutien-gorge, au moins dans certaines limites.Preferably, each of said straps is provided with at least one device for adjusting the length. This arrangement aims to easily adjust the shape of the bra according to the morphology of the user. In addition or alternatively, each strap can be made of an elastic material that allows self-adjustment of the bra, at least within certain limits.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le soutien-gorge comporte une bande ou bretelle latérale disposée transversalement sous les bonnets et destinée à enserrer le buste de l'utilisatrice sensiblement horizontalement, en doublant dans le dos les bretelles principales, ladite bretelle latérale passant également à travers ladite pièce dorsale de manière coulissante. Grâce à cette caractéristique, l'utilisatrice peut avoir un serrage du buste réparti sur deux bretelles tout en permettant de régler la taille du soutien-gorge au niveau du sous-buste. Par conséquent, on peut réaliser un soutien-gorge avec une forme très précise qui s'adapte très bien à la morphologie de l'utilisatrice. La bretelle latérale peut être une bretelle indépendante de la bretelle principale, et dans ce cas, il est préférable qu'elle dispose de son propre moyen de réglage de sa longueur. Elle peut aussi être formée par une extension des bretelles principales.According to one embodiment, the bra comprises a band or lateral strap disposed transversely under the cups and intended to grip the bust of the user substantially horizontally, by doubling in the back the main straps, said side strap also passing through said dorsal member slidably. With this feature, the user can have a clamping of the bust spread over two straps while allowing to adjust the size of the bra at the sub-bust. Therefore, one can achieve a bra with a very precise shape that adapts very well to the morphology of the user. The lateral ramp may be a ramp independent of the main ramp, and in this case, it is preferable that it has its own means for adjusting its length. It can also be formed by an extension of the main straps.
Comme il a été dit, la pièce dorsale comporte au moins trois ouvertures disposées selon un triangle, de préférence avec une ouverture, simple ou double, en haut de pièce dorsale et une ouverture latérale de chaque côté en bas de la pièce dorsale. La forme précise de la pièce dorsale peut être par exemple celle d'un triangle pointe en haut, ou celle d'un T inversé. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront à la lecture de la description suivante de modes de réalisation particuliers de l'invention, donnés à titre indicatif mais non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :As has been said, the back piece has at least three openings arranged in a triangle, preferably with a opening, single or double, at the top of the dorsal piece and a lateral opening on each side at the bottom of the dorsal piece. The precise shape of the dorsal piece can be for example that of a triangle point up, or that of an inverted T. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge on reading the following description of particular embodiments of the invention, given for information but without limitation, with reference to the appended drawings in which:

10 de sport de l'invention. Le soutien-gorge comporte deux bonnets 12, deux bretelles 14 et une pièce dorsale 15. Ces bonnets 12 sont du type « sport » qui couvre entièrement les seins de l'utilisatrice, et sont reliés l'un à l'autre par l'intermédiaire d'une zone de liaison 16. Chaque bonnet 12 présente un bord supérieur 18 et un bord latéral extérieur 20 situé à l'opposé de la zone de liaison 16 par rapport au bonnet 12. Les bretelles comportent chacune un dispositif de réglage 22 du type connu. Chacune des bretelles 14 est fixée sur l'un des bords supérieurs 18 par un moyen classique (par exemple par coutures, par soudure, ou par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce). Les bretelles 14 fixées sur les bords supérieurs 18 passent sur l'épaule puis arrivent jusqu'au dos de l'utilisatrice afin de passer à travers la pièce dorsale plane textile 15. Les bretelles se croisent soit à l'intérieur, soit à l'extérieur au voisinage de la pièce dorsale 15.10 of sport of the invention. The bra comprises two cups 12, two straps 14 and a back piece 15. These cups 12 are of the "sport" type which completely covers the user's breasts, and are connected to each other by the A bonnet 12 has an upper edge 18 and an outer side edge 20 located opposite the connecting zone 16 with respect to the bonnet 12. The straps each comprise an adjustment device 22 of the bonnet 12. known type. Each of the straps 14 is fixed on one of the upper edges 18 by conventional means (for example by seams, by welding, or via a part). The straps 14 fixed on the upper edges 18 pass over the shoulder and then reach the back of the user to move to through the flat textile dorsal part 15. The straps intersect either inside or outside the vicinity of the dorsal piece 15.
Cette pièce dorsale 15 présente trois ouvertures disposées triangulairement, dont l'une, double, 28 est située au sommet et les autres 30 sont situées chacune sur le côté latéral de la pièce dorsale 15. La pièce dorsale 15 comporte deux passages 26 en tunnel entre deux épaisseurs de textile, entre l'ouverture supérieure 28 et chaque ouverture latérale 30 dans lesquels les bretelles 14 passent de manière coulissante. Ces passages ont ici une forme coudée pour dévier la bretelle entre la position sensiblement verticale d'entrée et la position sensiblement horizontale de sortie. On peut éventuellement introduire des armatures afin de faciliter le coulissement des bretelles 14 et maintenir la forme des passages malgré les tensions s'exerçant sur les bretelles. Dans ce cas, les armatures peuvent être réalisées en matière plastique souple pour ne pas être inconfortables à l'utilisatrice.This dorsal piece 15 has three triangularly arranged openings, one of which, double, 28 is located at the top and the other 30 are each located on the lateral side of the back piece 15. The back piece 15 has two passages 26 in a tunnel between two layers of textile, between the upper opening 28 and each side opening 30 in which the straps 14 pass slidably. These passages here have a bent shape to deflect the ramp between the substantially vertical input position and the substantially horizontal output position. It may optionally introduce reinforcements to facilitate the sliding straps 14 and maintain the shape of the passages despite the tensions exerted on the straps. In this case, the frames can be made of flexible plastic material so as not to be uncomfortable to the user.
Chaque bretelle 14 entre d'abord dans l'ouverture supérieure 28 puis elle sort par l'ouverture latérale 30 en étant guidée par le passage 26. Les passages 26 dévient donc chacune des bretelles 14 sensiblement horizontalement vers l'un des bords latéraux 20 des bonnets 12. Les bretelles 14 sont fixées sur lesdits bords latéraux 20 par des moyens classiques (couture, soudure, etc).Each strap 14 first enters the upper opening 28 and then it leaves through the lateral opening 30 being guided by the passage 26. The passages 26 thus deviate each of the straps 14 substantially horizontally towards one of the lateral edges 20 of the The straps 14 are attached to said side edges 20 by conventional means (sewing, welding, etc.).
Il suffit de régler simplement la longueur des bretelles 14 pour avoir la forme souhaitée de soutien-gorge 10. Lorsqu'on veut un maintien ferme et serré, on raccourcit les bretelles 14 avec le dispositif de réglage 22. Et lorsque on préfère une forme plus confortable, on desserre simplement les bretelles 14. Les mouvements du corps suffisent à provoquer un autoajustement entre la longueur de bretelles sur les épaules et le serrage dorsal.Simply adjust the length of the straps 14 to have the desired shape of the bra 10. When one wants a firm and tight hold, it shortens the straps 14 with the adjustment device 22. And when one prefers a shape more The movements of the body are sufficient to cause a self-adjustment between the length of shoulder straps and the dorsal tightening.
Au lieu de fixer les bretelles en haut des bonnets sur le bord supérieur 18 et latéralement sur le bord extérieur 20, on peut prévoir que la bretelle passe en tunnel dans le bonnet entre les bords 18 et 20 par des ouvertures appropriées, de sorte que les deux bretelles apparentes 14 sont en fait constituées d'un seul ruban continu.Instead of fixing the straps at the top of the cups on the upper edge 18 and laterally on the outer edge 20, it is possible for the strap to tunnel into the cup between the edges 18 and 20 by appropriate openings, so that the two apparent straps 14 are in fact made of a single continuous ribbon.
Alternativement on peut prévoir que les bretelles passent en tunnel dans la basque du soutien-gorge, entre les deux bords latéraux 20. Les figures 2 et 3 montrent un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention dans lequel le soutien-gorge 10 présente en plus une bretelle latérale 32. Le principe est quasi-identique à celui du premier mode, si ce n'est la présence d'une bretelle ou bande latérale 32 disposée transversalement sous les bonnets 12 est destinée à enserrer horizontalement le buste de l'utilisatrice, en venant en quelque sorte doubler la partie horizontale des bretelles 14. La pièce dorsale 15 présente un troisième passage 34 entre les deux ouvertures latérales 30 pour que la bretelle latérale 32 puisse passer à travers la pièce 15 de manière également coulissante. La bretelle latérale 32 est munie d'un dispositif de réglage 22' pour pouvoir ajuster la longueur de la bretelle latérale 32 selon la taille du buste de l'utilisatrice. La position du dispositif de réglage 22' n'est pas limitée tant que l'utilisatrice peut la régler facilement ; on peut par exemple le disposer frontalement sous le bonnet 12 comme le montre la figure 3. L'utilisatrice peut choisir une taille précise du soutien-gorge au niveau du sous-buste en réglant la longueur de la bretelle latérale 32.Alternatively, it is possible for the straps to pass in a tunnel in the brassiere of the bra, between the two lateral edges 20. FIGS. 2 and 3 show a second embodiment of the invention in which the bra 10 additionally presents a side ramp 32. The principle is almost identical to that of the first mode, except that the presence of a shoulder strap or lateral strip 32 arranged transversely under the cups 12 is intended to grip horizontally the bust of the user, by somewhat doubling the horizontal portion of the straps 14. The dorsal piece 15 has a third passage 34 between the two side openings 30 so that the side strap 32 can pass through the piece 15 also slidably. The side strap 32 is provided with an adjusting device 22 'to be able to adjust the length of the side strap 32 according to the size of the bust of the user. The position of the adjustment device 22 'is not limited as long as the user can adjust it easily; it can for example be arranged frontally under the cup 12 as shown in Figure 3. The user can choose a precise size of the bra at the sub-bust by adjusting the length of the side strap 32.
La figure 4 montre un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention dans lequel le principe est identique à celui du premier mode. La particularité de ce mode est que chaque bretelle 14 est raccordée à deux bandes latérales 36 après la déviation par la pièce dorsale 15, au lieu de se fixer directement sur le bord latéral. Les bandes latérales 36 sont d'abord raccordées par une pièce l'une à l'autre et à la bretelle 14, puis se prolongent vers le bord latéral 20 de façon divergente. Ensuite les bandes 36 sont fixées latéralement sur le bord latéral 20 à distance l'une de l'autre.FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment of the invention in which the principle is identical to that of the first mode. The peculiarity of this mode is that each strap 14 is connected to two side strips 36 after deflection by the dorsal piece 15, instead of attaching directly to the side edge. The side strips 36 are first connected by a piece to each other and to the shoulder strap 14, then extend towards the side edge 20 in a divergent manner. Then the strips 36 are attached laterally to the side edge 20 at a distance from each other.
Dans les figures précédentes, la pièce dorsale a sensiblement la forme d'un T inversé dans lequel les bretelles se croisent. La figure 5 montre une variante de la pièce dorsale 15 en T inversé dans laquelle les bretelles ne se croisent pas. La forme de la pièce est identique à celle présentée sur les figures 1 et 4, mais dans ce mode de réalisation, les bretelles 14 ne sont pas croisées dans le dos de l'utilisatrice, bien qu'elles puissent donner cette illusion.In the previous figures, the dorsal piece has substantially the shape of an inverted T in which the straps intersect. Figure 5 shows a variant of the dorsal piece 15 inverted T in which the straps do not cross. The shape of the piece is identical to that shown in Figures 1 and 4, but in this embodiment, the straps 14 are not crossed in the back of the user, although they can give this illusion.
La figure 6 montre une autre variante de la pièce dorsale 15' formant un triangle. Cette pièce 15' dorsale présente également deux passages 26' entre une ouverture double 28' située au sommet et chaque ouverture latérale 30', lesquels passages sont aptes à recevoir les bretelles 14 de manière coulissante. Figure 6 shows another variant of the dorsal piece 15 'forming a triangle. This piece 15 'dorsal also has two passages 26' between a double opening 28 'located at the top and each side opening 30', which passages are adapted to receive the straps 14 slidably.
