Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of underwear accessories, and particularly relates to a flexible support body and an underwear. Background Art

[0002] In underwear, especially in body shaping underwear, it is usually necessary to provide support bars with a certain strength and elasticity to achieve the support or shaping effect of the underwear. In related technologies, the support bars are usually made of steel bones or fish scale bones. Such steel bones or fish scale bones are made of high-carbon steel or stainless steel wires. The wires are first processed into a spiral structure, and then two spiral wires with opposite helix directions are mutually embedded. Then, the embedded structure is extruded and deformed to form a flat strip structure. Next, the support bar also needs to go through a metal heat treatment tempering process to obtain a memory setting effect. In order to make the support bar have an anti-rust effect, electroplating processing is also required. After the steel bar is cut into appropriate sizes, the two ends of the steel bar need to be sealed with caps formed by stamping iron sheets.

[0003] Using steel bones or fish scale bones as the support bars of underwear has the following problems. First, the support bar is formed by flattening a three-dimensional spiral wire structure. However, even after flattening, it still has a relatively large thickness, and the caps at both ends of the support bar also increase the thickness of the support bar, which not only increases the installation difficulty of the support bar, but also causes a sense of oppression and restraint to the user during use, which is not conducive to improving the use experience. Second, there is a risk of detachment of the caps at both ends of the support bar during use, resulting in a danger of the steel wire stabbing the user. Third, during the use of the support bar, the steel wire is exposed. Even after anti-rust electroplating processing, the anti-rust layer is still prone to falling off. When the steel wire rusts, its elasticity, memory recovery, impact resistance, bending resistance, and breaking resistance will significantly decrease or even be lost, resulting in the support bar losing its support effect. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve at least one of the above technical problems, this application provides a flexible support body, which has a flat structure to help improve the use comfort, and has the characteristic of not being easily rusted, so that it can maintain good elasticity, memory recovery, and toughness during use. The technical solutions adopted are as follows.

[0005] In a first aspect, the flexible support body provided by this application includes a shape memory wire and an elastic encapsulation body. The shape memory wire is arranged in a serrated shape and has shape memory resilience. The elastic encapsulation body is arranged in a strip structure in the same extending direction as the shape memory wire. The shape memory wire is embedded in the elastic encapsulation body, and a stitching structure is formed in the elastic encapsulation body for a stitching needle to pass through.

[0006] In some embodiments of the present application, the flexible support includes at least two of the shape memory wires. Any two of the shape memory wires are arranged side by side along the width direction of the shape memory wire, and the sawteeth of adjacent shape memory wires are symmetrically arranged along the length direction of the shape memory wire. The thickness of the elastic encapsulation is less than the sawtooth width of any of the shape memory wires.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present application, the elastic encapsulation includes a main body portion and a connecting portion. The main body portion covers the outer periphery of the shape memory wire and forms a support monomer with the shape memory wire. The connecting portion connects two adjacent support monomers.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the connecting portion is less than the thickness of the main body portion.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, the connecting portion is further provided with a hollowed-out portion, which forms the stitching structure. The hollowed-out portion is arranged to avoid the shape memory wire.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, the elastic encapsulation is a copolymer polyamide material. The elastic encapsulation and the shape memory wire are used to provide the memory resilience and support of the flexible support.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the tips of the sawteeth of the shape memory wire are provided with rounded corners.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, a protective distance is provided between the tips of the sawteeth of the shape memory wire and the edge of the elastic encapsulation.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, the shape memory wire is formed by a cold working rolling method.

[0014] In a second aspect, the present application further provides an undergarment, which is provided with the flexible support provided in the first aspect.

[0015] The embodiments of the present application have at least the following beneficial effects: The shape memory wire can change from a linear one-dimensional structure to a two-dimensional structure with a certain area by forming sawteeth. On the one hand, it can improve the strength and elasticity of the shape memory wire, ensuring that the flexible support has sufficient strength, elasticity and memory recovery to achieve the support and shaping effects of the flexible support in the undergarment. On the other hand, compared with the prior art in which a three-dimensional spiral steel wire is flattened into a fish scale bone structure, the shape memory wire in the present application is itself a two-dimensional flat structure, and its thickness is smaller than that of the fish scale bone, which helps to reduce the foreign body sensation during the use of the flexible support, reduce the pressure and restraint on the user, and thus improve the user experience.

[0016] By embedding the shape memory wire in the elastic encapsulation body, the elastic encapsulation body can wrap and encapsulate the entire shape memory wire, making the appearance shape of the flexible support body present as a flat strip structure. Firstly, the elastic encapsulation body can wrap the two ends of the shape memory wire, avoiding the use of caps for sealing, thereby further reducing the size of both ends of the flexible support body, making the entire flexible support body have a uniform thickness, and improving the comfort of user use. Moreover, since the caps for sealing are cancelled, the risk of cap detachment can be avoided. The elastic encapsulation body can form a stable wrapping effect on the outer periphery of the shape memory wire, thus avoiding the danger of the two ends of the shape memory wire protruding and stabbing the user, and improving the use safety of the flexible support body. Secondly, the elastic encapsulation body can form a good isolation effect between the shape memory wire and the outside world, avoiding the shape memory wire being exposed during use, thereby improving the properties of the shape memory wire such as rust prevention, acid resistance, alkali resistance, and sweat erosion resistance, thus increasing the service life of the shape memory wire and prolonging the time of performance degradation of the shape memory wire. Thirdly, the elastic encapsulation body itself has certain flexibility and memory recovery properties. By using the elastic encapsulation body to wrap the shape memory wire, the formed flexible support body can obtain better characteristics of anti-bending, anti-breaking, and memory recovery, thereby realizing the memory resilience and support shaping functions of the flexible support body. Fourthly, since the elastic encapsulation body is used to encapsulate the shape memory wire, the shape memory wire does not need to be processed by electroplating for rust prevention, solving the problem of easy detachment of the electroplated layer resulting in rust prevention failure, and at the same time avoiding the environmental pollution and cost increase caused by electroplating processing.

This is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as limiting the present application. In addition, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0025] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", and "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] In a first aspect, please refer to Figures 1 to 3, this application provides a flexible support body 100, which includes a shape memory wire 10 and an elastic encapsulation body 20. The shape memory wire 10 is arranged in a zigzag shape and has shape memory resilience. The elastic encapsulation body 20 is formed into a strip-shaped structure along the same direction as the extension direction of the shape memory wire 10. The shape memory wire 10 is embedded in the elastic encapsulation body 20, and a stitching structure (not shown) is formed in the elastic encapsulation body, and the stitching structure is used for the stitching needle and thread to pass through. With this setting method, the shape memory wire 10 can change from a linear one-dimensional structure to a two-dimensional structure with a certain area by forming a zigzag shape. On the one hand, it can improve the strength and elasticity of the shape memory wire 10, so as to ensure that the flexible support body 100 has sufficient strength, elasticity and shape memory recovery to achieve the support and shaping effects of the flexible support body 100 in the underwear. On the other hand, compared with the structure of the spiral steel wire with a three-dimensional structure in the prior art being flattened into a fish scale bone structure, the shape memory wire 10 in this application is itself a two-dimensional flat structure, and its thickness is smaller than that of the fish scale bone, which helps to reduce the foreign body sensation during the use of the flexible support body 100, reduce the compression and restraint feeling caused to the user, and thus improve the user experience. The use of the stitching structure can facilitate the stitching of the flexible support body 100 on the underwear fabric to realize the fixed connection between the flexible support body 100 and the underwear fabric.

[0027] By embedding the shape memory wire 10 in the elastic encapsulation body 20, the elastic encapsulation body 20 can wrap and encapsulate the entire shape memory wire 10, making the appearance shape of the flexible support body 100 present a flat strip structure. This can bring at least the following effects: First, the elastic encapsulation body 20 can wrap the two ends of the shape memory wire 10, avoiding the use of caps for sealing, thereby further reducing the size of both ends of the flexible support body 100, making the entire flexible support body 100 have a uniform thickness and improving the comfort of user use. Moreover, since the caps for sealing are eliminated, the risk of cap detachment can be avoided. The elastic encapsulation body 20 can form a stable wrapping effect on the outer periphery of the shape memory wire 10, thus avoiding the danger of the two ends of the shape memory wire 10 protruding and stabbing the user, and improving the use safety of the flexible support body 100. Second, the elastic encapsulation body 20 can form a good isolation effect between the shape memory wire 10 and the outside world, preventing the shape memory wire 10 from being exposed during use, thereby improving the rust resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, and sweat erosion resistance of the shape memory wire 10, thus increasing the service life of the shape memory wire 10 and prolonging the time of performance degradation of the shape memory wire 10. Third, the elastic encapsulation body 20 itself has certain flexibility and memory recovery properties. By using the elastic encapsulation body 20 to wrap the shape memory wire 10, the formed flexible support body 100 can obtain better characteristics of anti-bending, anti-breaking, and memory recovery, thus realizing the memory resilience and support shaping functions of the flexible support body 100. Fourth, since the elastic encapsulation body 20 is used to encapsulate the shape memory wire 10, the shape memory wire 10 does not need to be processed by electroplating for rust prevention, solving the problem of easy detachment of the electroplated layer resulting in rust prevention failure, and at the same time avoiding the environmental pollution and cost increase caused by electroplating processing.

[0028] Optionally, the shape memory wire 10 can be entirely embedded in the elastic encapsulation body 20, that is, the elastic encapsulation body 20 completely covers the shape memory wire 10, making the outer edge of the elastic encapsulation body 20 present a smooth strip structure extending along the length direction of the shape memory wire 10. The flexible support body 100 in this example can have a smooth outer contour, which is convenient for installation or sewing with underwear fabrics, reducing the problem of foreign body sensation during use caused by uneven outer contours. Of course, in other examples, the shape of the elastic encapsulation body 20 changes with the shape of the shape memory wire 10. For example, the elastic encapsulation body 20 can be formed along the serrated direction of the shape memory wire 10. At this time, the outer edge of the elastic encapsulation body 20 also has a serrated contour.

[0029] Optionally, the shape memory wire 10 is made of 304 stainless steel wire and is formed by cold rolling. In this way, the shape memory wire 10 can undergo plastic deformation after rolling processing, so as to have elasticity and memory recovery properties during use, playing a role in supporting and maintaining the shape of the underwear.

[0030] Optionally, the elastic encapsulation body 20 is made of a copolyamide material, which can have good flexibility and stable physical properties, thus helping the flexible support body 100 to have the characteristics of elasticity and resilience, and improving the wearing comfort of the flexible support body 100. Exemplarily, the copolyamide material may include polycaprolactam (specifically, polycaprolactam hexamethylene adipate hexamethylenediamine), or modified nylon, such as a copolymer of nylon 6 and nylon 66. Using these materials to make the elastic encapsulation body 20 can make the elastic encapsulation body 20 have good flexibility and memory resilience, can adapt to various body shapes of the user's body, and provide sufficient support, so as to take into account the comfort of wearing the underwear while providing sufficient support for the underwear. The above material examples do not limit the material of the elastic encapsulation body 20. The composition, components and properties of the above materials have been recorded in the relevant technologies for those of ordinary skill in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Exemplarily, the memory metal wire 10 extends along its own length direction (such as the x direction shown in Figure 1 ), and the serrations of the memory metal wire 10 protrude in the width direction (such as the y direction shown in Figure 1 ). Optionally, the length direction and the width direction can be perpendicular to each other. At this time, the serration direction of the memory metal wire 10 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the memory metal wire 10. Of course, the length direction and the width direction can form an acute angle or an obtuse angle, and at this time the serrations are guided to one side along the extension direction of the memory metal wire 10.

[0032] In some embodiments, the flexible support 100 includes at least two shape memory wires 10. Any two shape memory wires 10 are arranged side by side along the width direction of the shape memory wire 10, and the sawteeth of adjacent shape memory wires 10 are symmetrically arranged along the length direction of the shape memory wire 10. The thickness of the elastic encapsulation 20 is less than the sawtooth width of any one shape memory wire 10. By arranging two or more shape memory wires 10 side by side along the width direction of the shape memory wire 10, not only can the strength of the flexible support 100 be improved, thereby improving the elasticity and memory recovery of the flexible support 100, which helps to enhance the support and shaping effects of the flexible support 100. Moreover, since multiple shape memory wires 10 are arranged side by side in the width direction, the shape memory wires 10 are not stacked in the thickness direction, thus ensuring that the flexible support 100 can still maintain a flat structure, reducing the protrusion height of the flexible support 100 after the flexible support 100 is installed or sewn on the underwear, thereby reducing the foreign body sensation caused by the flexible support 100 to the user during use and improving the comfort of using the flexible support 100. By using the wrapping and encapsulation effect of the elastic encapsulation 20 on multiple shape memory wires 10, the shape memory wires 10 can be fixed and held within the elastic encapsulation 20, preventing the shape memory wires 10 from moving or winding around each other, maintaining the independence of multiple shape memory wires 10, and ensuring the reliability of the flexible support 100 during use.

[0033] Exemplarily, the shape memory wires 10 can be set to two, three or more. During actual manufacturing, the number of shape memory wires 10 can be flexibly set according to the required support strength, and no limitation is made here. The following will take the case where the shape memory wires 10 are set to two as an example for illustration.

[0034] In some embodiments, the elastic encapsulation 20 includes a main body portion 21 and a connecting portion 22. The main body portion 21 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the shape memory wire 10 and forms a support monomer with the shape memory wire 10. The connecting portion 22 connects two adjacent support monomers. By forming two independent support monomers, in this way, the elastic encapsulation 20 in each support monomer can not only wrap the shape memory wire 10, but also separate two adjacent shape memory wires 10, preventing the flexible support 100 from being deformed and invalidated due to the mutual misalignment between two adjacent shape memory wires 10, thereby improving the reliability of the flexible support 100 during use. By using the connecting portion 22 to connect two adjacent main body portions 21, multiple support monomers can be connected into a whole, thus better exerting the support effect of the flexible support 100.

[0035] Optionally, the main body portion 21 and the connecting portion 22 can be integrally formed. That is, when the shape memory wire 10 is coated with the material of the elastic encapsulation body 20, the material of the elastic encapsulation body 20 (such as polyethylene) is extruded into a mold, so as to simultaneously wrap and shape multiple shape memory wires 10 placed in the mold, thereby obtaining the flexible support body 100 with multiple shape memory wires 10. Of course, in other examples, the main body portion 21 and the connecting portion 22 can be separately arranged. For example, first, the material of the elastic encapsulation body 20 is used to wrap a shape memory wire 10 by the above molding process to form a support monomer, and then multiple support monomers are spliced, and the splicing part forms the connecting portion 22.

[0036] Optionally, the elastic encapsulation body 20 wrapped with multiple shape memory wires 10 can also be cut according to the usage requirements. For example, when the shape memory wires 10 are encapsulated, 4 or 6 or even more shape memory wires 10 are arranged side by side to form the flexible support body 100, and then the formed structure is divided. The divided structure has two or three shape memory wires 10. The cutting site can be aligned with the connecting portion 22 to avoid cutting the shape memory wires 10.

[0037] In some embodiments, the thickness of the connecting portion 22 is less than the thickness of the main body portion 21. Taking the case where two shape memory wires 10 are provided as an example, the formed flexible support body 100 has a structure with thicker ends and thinner middle, which not only makes it easy to distinguish the main body portion 21 and the connecting portion 22, but also enables the main body portion 21 with a larger thickness to wrap the shape memory wires 10 more completely and stably. Since the connecting portion 22 does not need to wrap the shape memory wires 10, setting a smaller thickness can save the material usage of the elastic encapsulation body 20, which helps to realize the lightweight and thin design of the flexible support body 100.

[0038] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 22 is further provided with a hollowed-out portion 220, and the hollowed-out portion 220 is formed into the stitching structure. The hollowed-out portion 220 is arranged to avoid the shape memory wire 10, and the hollowed-out portion 220 is used for the stitching needle to pass through. When the flexible support 100 and the inner garment are stitched together, the hollowed-out portion 220 allows the stitching needle to pass through, thus not obstructing the path of the needle and improving the convenience of the stitching operation and the stability of the stitching effect. The flexible support 100 fixed by stitching can not only be fixed at the set position of the inner garment and will not be folded or distorted when the inner garment is worn. Moreover, due to the flat design of the flexible support 100, the size of its protrusion can be reduced, thereby realizing a seamless design of the inner garment. When the user wears the inner garment, it helps the flexible support 100 to adapt to the user's activities in any orientation, improving the comfort of wearing the inner garment. Of course, in other examples, in addition to being arranged in the form of the hollowed-out portion 220, the stitching structure can also be arranged in the recessed portion of the shape memory wire 10. This recessed portion can be used for the needle to pass through the thread, and the stitching thread can span both sides of the shape memory wire 10, thereby fixing the flexible support 100 to the inner garment fabric.

[0039] In some embodiments, the hollowed-out portions 220 are provided in the serrated recessed portions of the shape memory wire 10, and the plurality of hollowed-out portions 220 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the shape memory wire 10. In this way, the stitching needle for stitching and fixing can pass through the plurality of hollowed-out portions 220, so as to realize stitching along the length direction of the shape memory wire 10, improving the connection strength and stability of the stitching and fixing. By providing the hollowed-out portion 220 in the connecting portion 22, when the connecting portion 22 is set to a relatively thin size, a groove structure can be formed between the connecting portion 22 and the main body portions 21 on the adjacent two sides, and the stitching thread can just be accommodated in the groove, thus avoiding the stitching thread protruding from the surface of the flexible support 100, and further helping to form a flat surface on the surface of the flexible support 100. By arranging the hollowed-out portion 220 in the recessed portion of the serration, the distance between the hollowed-out portion 220 and the shape memory wire 10 can be increased, avoiding the metal wire piercing out from the hollowed-out portion 220.

[0040] Optionally, the hollowed-out portion 220 can be set to a rhombus (as Figure 2 shown) or a circle. When the hollowed-out portion 220 is set to a rhombus, the diagonals of the rhombus can be aligned with the roots of the serrations. In this way, when cutting to form the hollowed-out portion 220, the roots of the serrations and the diagonals of the rhombus can be used for positioning and alignment, which helps to improve the cutting accuracy of the hollowed-out portion 220.

[0041] In some embodiments, the tips of the serrations of the shape memory wire 10 are provided with rounded corners 11. The design of the rounded corners 11 can make the tips of the serrations smoother, avoiding the shape memory wire 10 piercing the elastic encapsulation 20 from the side, and improving the reliability and safety of using the flexible support 100.

[0042] In some embodiments, a protective distance D is provided between the tips of the serrations of the shape memory wire 10 and the edge of the elastic encapsulation body 20. By setting the protective distance D, it is also possible to further ensure that the tips of the serrations of the wire protrude from the side of the elastic encapsulation body 20, thereby improving the reliability of use of the flexible support body 100.

[0043] As an example, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the diameter of the shape memory wire 10 can be set to 0.4 mm, the tooth width L1 of the serrated shape memory wire 10 is 4 mm, the tooth pitch L2 is 3.3 mm, and the protective distance D between the tip of the tooth and the elastic encapsulation body 20 is 1 mm. The thickness L3 of the main body portion 21 is 1.8 mm, the thickness L4 of the connecting portion 22 is 0.8 mm, the width L5 of the connecting portion 22 is 2 mm, the width L6 of the flexible support body 100 formed by connecting two support monomers is 12 mm, and the radius of the rounded corner 11 of the tip of the tooth is 1.6 mm. In this way, the flexible support body 100 is an overall flat strip structure, which is convenient for installation and stitching with the underwear, improves the comfort of using the underwear, and realizes the support and shaping effect of the underwear. Of course, the dimensions of each part of the flexible support body 100 are not limited to the data in the above example, so this example does not constitute a limitation on the dimension design of the flexible support body 100.

[0044] In a second aspect, the present application also provides an underwear, and the underwear is provided with the flexible support body 100 provided in the first aspect. Specifically, the underwear can be provided with a binding strip or a fixing sleeve for the flexible support body 100. The flexible support body 100 can be inserted into the binding strip or the fixing sleeve, or the flexible support body 100 can be stitched and fixed on this basis, so as to realize the installation and fixation of the flexible support body 100, and improve the stability and reliability of the flexible support body 100 during use. It can be understood that since the underwear adopts the flexible support body 100 provided in the first aspect, the underwear has the beneficial effects of the flexible support body 100 in the first aspect, which will not be elaborated here.
