Description

Bra and its cup

The present invention relates to a brassiere and a cup portion thereof, and more particularly to a brassiere and a cup portion thereof in which a peripheral portion of a pad pocket on an inner surface of the cup portion is radially outwardly pressed by an outer diameter of the pad to form a flange shape.

The pad pocket formed on the inner surface of the cup part of the conventional brassiere was formed into a flat bag shape so as to be integrated with the inner surface shape of the cup part. In addition, since the cup part is generally made of low-stretch fabric to secure its shape-retaining performance, the size of the pad pocket was usually made larger than the size of the pad itself. ..

Therefore, the pad is easily displaced in the pad pocket, and even if the brassiere is worn with the position of the cup portion aligned with the breast portion, the pad is slightly displaced and it is difficult to obtain a comfortable feeling of holding the breast portion. was there. On the other hand, since there are individual differences in the orientation and mutual spacing of the breasts, it was necessary to finely adjust the position and orientation of the pad when wearing a brassiere.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to eliminate the positional displacement of the pad in the pad pocket, to easily align the pad with the breast when wearing, and to obtain a comfortable feeling of holding the breast and the pad. To provide a pocket.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the cup portion of the brassiere of the present invention forms a flat bag-shaped pad pocket along the inner surface of the pair of left and right cup portions of the brassiere, and the pad pocket inside the pad pocket. By accommodating a pad having an outer diameter larger in at least one radial direction than the inner diameter in the flat direction, at least a part of the peripheral portion of the flat bag-shaped pad pocket is moved in the radial direction by the outer diameter of the pad. It is characterized in that it is pressed in the direction to form a flange shape protruding from the inner surface of the cup portion.

In the cup portion of the brassiere of the present invention, at least a part of the peripheral portion of the pad pocket is pressed outward in the radial direction by the outer diameter of the pad to form a flange shape protruding from the inner surface of the cup portion. Since the pad is always placed at the proper position of the cup portion due to the contracting force of the cloth of the portion, it is not necessary to finely adjust the position and direction of the pad. Moreover, the position of the pad can be seen at a glance when worn, and the breast portion can be easily applied to the pad. Furthermore, due to the elasticity of the fabric around the pad pocket, the cup is automatically moved to follow the shape of the breast while maintaining the pad in place on the breast, creating a comfortable hold on the breast. can get.

(Overall structure of brassiere)
A brassiere 10 and a pad pocket 9 thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1A and 1B are a front view and a rear view of the brassiere 10.

The pair of left and right cup portions 1 of the brassiere 10 are connected to each other by a connecting portion 2 at the center of the brassiere 10. In the illustrated example, the cup portion 1 is a full cup, but the cup portion 1 may have a size that covers at least half or more from below the bust, and may be a half cup or two thirds.

The cup part 1 is connected to the side belt 3 on the side opposite to the connecting part 2. An eye tape 4 is attached to the end of one side belt 3, and a hook tape 5 is attached to the end of the other side belt 3.

The eye tape 4 and the hook tape 5 are connected on the back side when the brassiere 10 is worn. Instead of the eye tape 4 and the hook tape 5, for example, snaps, hook-and-loop fasteners, strings, buttons and button holes, etc. can be used.

The upper edge of the side belt 3 near the edge and the upper edge of the cup 1 are connected to both ends of the strap 6 to be worn on the shoulder. A movable can 7a and a fixed can 7b are attached to the end of the strap 6 on the side of the cup portion 1 so that the length of the strap 6 can be adjusted. In addition, in a half cup or a two-third cup brassiere, the strap 6 may be omitted.

The fixed can 7b is attached to the upper edge of the cup 1 with a loop-shaped engaging piece 8. The engagement piece 8 is formed by folding a belt-shaped cloth into two so as to wrap the lateral bar of the fixed can 7b into a loop shape, and the two overlapped end portions of the front cloth 10a and the back cloth 10b. It is welded with resin dots in between.

The brassiere 10 is made by adhering a stretchable front cloth 10a and a back cloth 10b to each other by welding with resin dots between the both cloths. The type of cloth is not particularly limited, but for example, a 2-weight ricotte cloth having elasticity in both vertical and horizontal directions can be used.

The resin dots may be attached at random positions or regularly arranged in a matrix in the vertical and horizontal directions. The material of the resin dot is, for example, a polyurethane hot melt resin, a polyester hot melt resin, an EVA hot melt resin, a polyolefin hot melt resin, a styrene elastomer, a moisture curable urethane hot melt resin, or a reactive hot melt resin. Etc. can be used.

The diameter of the resin dot can be, for example, about 0.5 mm. The adhesion density of the resin dots can be, for example, 5 to 20 dots / 10 cm, and the occupation area ratio with respect to the cloth can be, for example, 30%.

(Cup part)
The cup part 1 is shaped in a bowl by molding. This molding is performed by pressing a pressing cylinder CL whose bottom portion bulges into a hemispherical shape inside the cup portion 1 as shown in FIG.

The diameter D of the cylinder CL is set to about 70% of the diameter of the cup part 1. Therefore, the central region 9b of the cup portion 1 is shaped into a bowl with low elasticity by molding. The peripheral region 9c extending around the central region 9b is not directly affected by the heat of the molding by the cylinder CL, and therefore has a high stretchability in both vertical and horizontal directions of the original fabric.

(Pad pocket)
A pad pocket 9 is formed on the inner side of the cup portion 1 by the back cloth 10b. The pad pocket 9 is for accommodating a bowl-shaped pad P (see FIG. 6) therein, and has a substantially flat bag shape as a whole.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1B and 2, the back cloth 10b is welded to the front cloth 10a without a gusset at the peripheral portion of the flat bag-shaped pad pocket 9. The position of the back cloth 10b welded to the front cloth 10a at the peripheral portion is a line 3 mm to 5 mm inside the two-dimensional shape of the outline obtained by projecting from the convex side of the pad P onto the plane.

By thus narrowing the peripheral edge of the pad pocket 9 slightly smaller than the outer shape of the pad P, the peripheral edge of the pad pocket 9 is pressed radially outward by the outer diameter of the pad P. The pad P itself is housed in a state of being radially compressed.

That is, by accommodating the pad P having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter in the flat direction in the flat bag-shaped pad pocket 9, the peripheral portion of the flat bag-shaped pad pocket 9 is outwardly moved by the outer diameter of the pad P. Is pressed. Here, the “inner diameter” of the pad pocket 9 is the inner diameter of the peripheral portion of the pad pocket 9. In the illustrated example, the lower half of the peripheral edge portion of the pad pocket 9 is pressed radially outward by the outer diameter of the pad P, and an arcuate flange portion 9 a protruding from the inner surface of the cup portion 1 is formed in the lower half. ing.

Flange portion 9a is not affected by the heat generated by the above-mentioned molding, so high stretchability remains in both vertical and horizontal directions. Therefore, the flange portion 9a wraps around the lower peripheral portion of the pad P and protrudes in an acute angle from the inner surface of the cup portion to the chest side.

Since the cup portion 1 or the central region 9b of the pad pocket 9 is made to have a low elasticity by the above-mentioned molding, the high elasticity of the central region 9b and the compressive force from the entire circumferential direction make the pad P high. Is about 10% lower. As a result, the shape retention performance of the pad P is improved, and since the central region 9b is molded into a bowl shape, the pad P fits inside the bowl and the central position (apex of the bowl shape) of the pad P is stable. Set to.

(Pad insertion slot)
At least a part of the pad insertion port C of the pad pocket 9 is formed at a position adjacent to the outer end of the flange portion 9a formed in an arc shape. The insertion opening C has an opening width of several centimeters, for example, 45 mm, and is formed by non-adhering a part of the peripheral edge portion of the front cloth 10a and the back cloth 10b which are bonded to each other. The insertion port C of the pad pocket 9 may be formed on the opposite side, that is, at a position adjacent to the inner end of the flange portion 9a formed in an arc shape.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C, a rectangular tab 9d is formed on the edge of the backing material 10b that is one edge of the insertion slot C, and the tab 9d is folded inward so as to form an edge. Has been. Since the resin dots D are applied to the edges of the back cloth 10b, when the tabs 9d are folded back inward, the tabs 9d are superposed on the edges of the back cloth 10b by the resin dots D. In this way, the tab 9d is folded back and adhered to the inside of the insertion opening C so as to trim one edge of the insertion opening C, so that only the tab 9d is not adhered to the front cloth 10a and the insertion opening C is It is formed.

In a portion along the folding line of the tab 9d, a resin dot row D1 that is offset outward from the peripheral portion is formed as shown in FIG. 4A so that the folding line can be folded cleanly. Further, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, two resin dot rows D2 having a higher density than the peripheral portion are formed on both sides of the tab 9d. By thus welding the resin dot rows D1 and D2 formed around the tab 9d, the reinforcing effect of the insertion opening C can be obtained. Therefore, when the pad P is taken in and out from the insertion opening C, it is difficult for the insertion opening C to be torn or the edge portion thereof to be torn.

The rectangular tab 9d may be formed on the edge of the outer cloth 10a, which is the other edge of the insertion port C. Then, the tab 9d is similarly folded back inward and the other edge of the insertion opening C is trimmed to form the insertion opening C. However, when the tab 9d is formed on the front cloth 10a, it may stand out from the outside when a thin blouse or the like is worn, so it is better to form the tab 9d on the edge of the back cloth 10b.

(Wearing a bra)
To wear the brassiere 10, after the strap 6 is hung on the shoulder, the pad P is fitted to the breast as shown in FIG. 5A. Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, the side belt 3 is pulled backward to engage the eye tape 4 with the hook tape 5 at a position that fits the wearer's body shape.

Wearing the brassiere 10 is now complete. Conventionally, it was necessary to correct the position of the pad P so as to match the position of the pad P with the wearer's breast after the state of FIG.

That is, unlike the conventional case, the pad P has a stable position in the pad pocket 9 and is not displaced. Further, the peripheral region 9c of the pad pocket 9 or the flange portion 9a has high elasticity in both the vertical and horizontal directions.

Therefore, due to the high elasticity, the pad P itself automatically follows and moves in the direction and position optimally corresponding to the shape of the breast B of the wearer as shown in FIG. 5B. Note that BSL in FIGS. 5A and 5B is a barges line. Therefore, the wearer can wear the brassiere 10 without having to worry about the positional displacement of the pad P, and after the wear, the pad P is automatically moved to a state optimally corresponding to the shape of the breast portion of the wearer. Alignment is done.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made. For example, although the flange portion 9a is formed in an arc shape in the lower half of the pad pocket 9 in the above embodiment, the flange portion 9a may be formed over the entire circumference of the pad pocket 9. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the difference in elasticity between the central region and the peripheral region of the cup portion 1 is formed by the presence or absence of molding, but the elasticity can be improved by attaching another low-stretch or non-stretch fabric only to the central region. It is also possible to make a difference.
