Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a garment having a cup portion. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, in clothing with cups such as brassieres, methods for filling the gap between the cup and the bust to shape the bust include inserting a thick pad. When using a thick pad, the pad may not fit well to the bust when inserted due to its thickness, and may cause a strong feeling of pressure. In addition, the pad itself is expensive. Therefore, in order to improve the shape of the bust, a brassiere has been proposed in which a shaping member is provided on the cup side near the top of the bust (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2012-214961 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the above-mentioned molding material was intended to fill the gap between the bust and the upper edge of the cup, and was not sufficient to fill the gap near the top of the bust. Also, when there is a difference between the left and right sides due to changes in body shape, there are cases where you want to remove one of the pads when wearing the bra, but if the pad is thick, removing one pad will make the difference in fit between the left and right sides larger.

[0005] To provide a garment having a cup part capable of filling a gap near the top without using a thick pad and further capable of keeping the difference in wearing comfort between the left and right sides small even when one pad is removed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the garment having a cup portion of the present invention comprises: A pair of cup portions, a cup support portion, and a back portion, The cup support portion is provided on a lower edge of the pair of cup portions, The back portion is attached to a side of the cup support portion, The cup portion has an outer cup and an inner cup, The inner cup is formed at a position where an upper side thereof intersects with a straight line passing through the lowest point of the lower edge of the cup portion and a position corresponding to the bust top, the upper side being lower than the upper side of the outer cup and higher than the position corresponding to the bust top; At least a central portion of an upper side of the inner cup is not fixed to the outer cup, The inner cup is provided with a shaping member in a region from an upper side thereof to a position lower than a position corresponding to a bust top, The shaping member is characterized by being stiffer and thicker than other areas of the inner cup. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the clothing with cup portions of the present invention, it is possible to provide clothing with cup portions that can fill the gap near the top without using a thick pad, and further, can keep the difference in wearing comfort between the left and right sides small even when one pad is removed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] In the garment having a cup portion of the present invention, it is preferable that the inner cup has a folded portion at an upper edge portion folded back toward the outer cup.

[0010] In the garment having a cup portion of the present invention, it is preferable that the shaping member is provided at the folded-back portion.

[0011] In the garment having a cup portion of the present invention, it is preferable that the upper edge of the shaping member is located below 1 / 4 from the top of the area between the position where the upper edge of the outer cup intersects with a straight line passing through the lowest point of the lower edge of the cup portion and a position corresponding to the bust top, and that the lower edge of the shaping member is located above 1 / 3 from the bottom of the area between the position corresponding to the bust top and the lowest point of the lower edge of the cup portion.

[0012] In the garment having a cup portion of the present invention, it is preferable that the shaping member has a width within a range of 1 cm to 6 cm.

[0013] In the garment having a cup portion of the present invention, it is preferable that the shaping member has a thickness in the range of 2 mm to 15 mm.

[0014] In the garment having a cup portion of the present invention, the inner cup is preferably a pad receiver.

[0015] The clothing having a cup part of the present invention will be described with examples. However, the present invention is not limited to or restricted by the following examples. The drawings referred to below are schematic, and the dimensional ratios of objects depicted in the drawings may differ from the dimensional ratios of real objects. The dimensional ratios of objects may also differ between drawings.

[0016] (First embodiment) Figures 1 and 2 show a brassiere 100 according to a first embodiment of a garment having a cup portion of the present invention. Figure 1 is a view of the brassiere 100 of this embodiment as seen from the back side (the side that faces the skin when worn), and Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the cup portion of the brassiere 100 as seen in the II direction. In the two figures, the same parts are given the same reference numerals.

[0017] The brassiere 100 of this embodiment is a so-called 3 / 4 cup brassiere, which includes a pair of cup parts 101, a cup support part 102 supporting the pair of cup parts 101, a pair of back parts 103, and a pair of shoulder straps 104. The cup support part 102 is provided on the lower edge of the cup part 101, and one end of the pair of back parts 103 is attached to the side of the cup support part 102. A connecting lock part 107 is attached to the other end of the pair of back parts 103, and can be freely attached and detached near the center of the back. The cup support part 102 is formed to follow the verge line, and in this embodiment, a wire 105 is provided in the cup support part 102. The cup support part 102 is connected to a base part 110, and the pair of cup parts 101 are connected by the base part 110.

[0018] The pair of cups 101 is composed of an outer cup 101A and an inner cup 101B. The outer cup 101A can be a cup used in a general brassiere. The inner cup 101B has an upper side that intersects with a line passing through at least the lowest point U of the lower edge of the cup and a position T corresponding to the bust top at a position S. B1, the inner cup 101B is formed at a position lower than the upper edge of the outer cup 101A and higher than a position T corresponding to the bust top. At least the center of the upper edge of the inner cup 101B is not fixed to the outer cup 101A. Here, the lowest point U of the lower edge of the cup portion is the position that is the lowest point when the brassiere is worn, and may not be the lowest position when the brassiere is viewed in an unworn state. Also, the center of the upper edge of the inner cup 101B is located at a point S of the upper edge of the inner cup. B The term "shaping member 120" refers to a region having a length that allows a pad to be inserted, including the upper side, for example, in the range of 50% to 100% of the entire upper side length. The inner cup 101B is provided with a shaping member 120 in a region from the upper side to a position below a position T corresponding to the bust top. The shaping member 120 is stiffer and thicker than other regions of the inner cup 101B. In FIG. 1, the shaping member 120 is provided in the shaded portion of the inner cup 101B, opposite to the portion that touches the skin when worn. In the present invention, "upper" and "lower" in the descriptions of upper and lower refer to the up and down directions when worn in a standing position.

[0019] By providing the molding member 120 at the above-mentioned position, away from the outer cup 101A, it is possible to insert a pad, and the gap between the cup portion and the vicinity of the bust top that may occur when wearing the bra can be filled without using a thick pad. Furthermore, by having the molding member 120, even if one pad is removed to deal with a difference in bust size between the left and right sides of the wearer, the difference in fit between the left and right sides can be kept small. In addition, when one pad is removed, it is possible to prevent the pad receiver on the side where the pad was removed from becoming distorted, resulting in a poor fit.

[0020] As the material for the shaping member 120, a thick material such as that used for lining a cup, such as nonwoven fabric, urethane foam, double raschel, or corrugated knit, can be suitably used. The thickness when not worn is preferably within the range of 2 mm to 15 mm, and more preferably within the range of 2 mm to 8 mm. If the thickness is too thin, it will not be possible to sufficiently fill the gap between the cup portion and the vicinity of the bust top. If the thickness is too thick, it may cause discomfort when worn. When using a material such as nonwoven fabric, which changes thickness when compressed, for the shaping member, a basis weight of 30 g / m is preferable. 2 More than 300g / m 2 Materials within the following ranges can be preferably used: As the material for other areas such as the side of the inner cup 101B that comes into contact with the skin, it is preferable to use plain fabric, tricot, or the like.

[0021] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2(A), the inner cup 101B has a folded portion at the upper edge portion, which is folded toward the outer cup 101A side. The folded portion is formed of a material that is thicker and more rigid than the material of the other regions of the inner cup, to form the shaping member 120. When the shaping member 120 is provided with a folded portion in this manner, the inner cup 101B can be suitably used as a pad receiver. The shaping member 120 is not limited to a specific form as long as it is provided at a predetermined position on the upper edge of the inner cup 101B. For example, as shown in FIG. 3(A), the shaping member 120 may be formed by using a material that is thick and highly rigid on the upper edge portion of the inner cup 101B without providing the folded portion, or as shown in FIG. 3(B), the shaping member 120 may be formed by adhering a material that is thick and highly rigid to the upper edge portion of the inner cup 101B.

[0022] FIG. 2(B) shows the position of the pad when it is attached. When inserting a pad between the outer cup 101A and the inner cup 101B of the brassiere, it is preferable to insert the pad 130 inside the folded part to prevent the pad from slipping out of place. In addition, considering the feel on the skin when worn, it is preferable to provide a shaped member 120 (thick part) on the folded part side as shown in the figure. In the present invention, instead of the conventional pad holder shaped by sewing the periphery of the pad placement part, the inner cup 101B is sewn only from the cup opening to the side of the cup, and the center of the cup is not fixed and is made into a floating bag-like pad holder. Furthermore, the area near the bust top of the pad holder is made of a thick material such as nonwoven fabric. In particular, wearers with small bust volume (cup sizes A and B) are prone to gaps in the part where the curvature of the outer cup becomes large (corner) (the joint part when the cup is made by sewing, and the part where the curvature becomes large when the molded cup (no joint)). The structure of the garment of the present invention is more suitable for wearers with small bust sizes, and even in garments that make the bust appear larger, the pad is of normal thickness, and the thickness is supplemented by the shaping member of the pad receiver, so that the gap between the cup and the body can be filled. Considering the breathability of the garment, it is preferable that the pad is filled without being too thick.

[0023] The upper side of the molding member 120 is at a position S where a straight line passing through the lowest point U of the lower edge of the cup portion and a position T corresponding to the bust top intersects with the upper side of the outer cup 101A. A and the position T corresponding to the bust top, and the lower side of the shaping member 120 is preferably located above the position 1 / 3 from the bottom of the area between the position T corresponding to the bust top and the lowest point U of the lower edge of the cup part 101. The upper side of the shaping member 120 is located at the position S where a straight line passing through the lowest point U of the lower edge of the cup part and the position T corresponding to the bust top intersects with the upper side of the outer cup 101A. Aand position T corresponding to the bust top, and more preferably, the lower side of the shaping member 120 is located above ¼ of the area between position T corresponding to the bust top and the lowest point U of the lower edge of the cup portion 101. If the cup portion has an upper and lower seam, it is preferable that the shaping member 120 is provided so that at least the central portion including position T corresponding to the bust top overlaps the seam.

[0024] The width (vertical length) of the shaping member 120 need only span the position T corresponding to the bust top, but is preferably in the range of 1 cm to 6 cm, and more preferably in the range of 1 cm to 3 cm.

[0025] 4A to 4E are diagrams showing variations in the position and shape of the shaping member 120. Each of Figs. 4A to 4E is a schematic diagram showing a joint position (joint line) C of the cup and variations in the position and shape of the shaping member 120. The position and width of the shaping member 120 are varied from the vicinity of the center of the cup portion 101 (S A ~S B4A to T) are as described above, but the front center part and the side part can be changed depending on the cup shape and design. Fig. 4A to D show variations in the position and shape of the shaping member 120 when the cup joint is horizontal, and Fig. 4A shows the position of the shaping member 120 in a pattern corresponding to the first embodiment shown in Fig. 1. The shaping member 120 may be located at the side where its upper side (upper side of the inner cup 101B) coincides with the upper side of the outer cup 101A, as shown in Fig. 4B. Alternatively, the shaping member 120 may be in an inverted U-shape, as shown in Fig. 4C. In such a shape, the shaping member 120 and the cup support part may be fixed to each other even at the side. Furthermore, the shaping member 120 may be in a U-shape, as shown in Fig. 4D. In this case, the upper edge of the shaping member 120 (the upper edge of the inner cup 101B) may be aligned with the upper edge of the outer cup 101A at the front center side and the side. When the upper edge of the inner cup 101B and the upper edge of the outer cup 101A are aligned with each other, it is preferable that the aligned portions are fixed. FIG. 4(E) is a diagram showing an example of the position and shape of the shaping member 120 when the cup joint is vertical, in which the shaping member 120 is in the same position as in FIG. 4(A). In the case of vertical joint, the position and shape can be the same as in FIG. 4(B) to (D).

[0026] The shaping member only needs to be provided near the center of the upper edge of the inner cup in order to fill the gap between the cup portion and the area around the bust top. However, if the shaping member is provided along the entire upper edge of the inner cup, the upper edge is highly rigid and thick, so that even when the pad is removed from the inner cup before wearing it, the inner cup can stand on its own in a predetermined position, and the inner cup is less likely to sag, wrinkle, or shift, and no adjustment (alignment) is required when wearing it.

[0027] In the brassiere of this embodiment, a hook (e.g., a hook and eye) can be used as the connecting and fastening part 107, but other types of fastening devices may also be used. Also, the back part 103 does not have to have a connecting and fastening part. For example, the connecting and fastening part may be provided at the center front to be a front hook type. Also, it may be a type without a connecting and fastening part, or a type in which the back part is tied and fastened.

[0028] The connecting and fastening portion 107 may be a hook (e.g., a hook and eye), a gripper, a button, a string, a hook and loop fastener, or the like, which may be appropriately selected according to the design and use. When using the above-mentioned hook and eye, gripper, or button, it is preferable to provide a plurality of fastening positions in advance so that the tightness can be finely adjusted. Other types of fastening devices may also be used.

[0029] In this embodiment, one end of the shoulder strap 104 is attached to the cup portion 101 (outer cup 101A), and the other end of the shoulder strap 104 passes through a circular fastener 108A attached to the upper side of the back portion 103, turns around, and is introduced into a length adjuster 108B consisting of an eight-ring, thereby being attached to the upper side of the back portion 103. When the shoulder strap 104 is attached in this manner, the length of the shoulder strap 104 can be adjusted. The form of the shoulder strap 104 is not limited to this, and for example, it may be a so-called "halter neck" type in which the upper parts of the pair of cup portions 101 are attached to each other so as to connect them to each other. The attachment position of the shoulder strap 104 can be determined according to the shape of the cup portion 101 and the design of the brassiere. The shoulder strap 104 may be any type that suspends the cup portion 101 from the shoulder. For example, the shoulder strap 104 may be a string or a cloth tape, or may be a wide, so-called round type strap like a tank top. The form of the shoulder straps 104 is not limited to a form in which a pair of shoulder straps 104 corresponding to a pair of cup portions 101 are attached to the upper part of the cup portions 101 and the back portion 103, respectively, but may be a form in which the two shoulder straps 104 are integrated on the back side and attached to the back portion 103, like the shoulder straps of a sports-type brassiere, for example.

[0030] In the present embodiment, a 3 / 4 cup brassiere has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention can also be applied to, for example, a 1 / 2 cup or full cup brassiere.

[0031] In this embodiment, the brassiere 100 is a wire type in which the cup support portion 102 is provided with a wire 105, but the present invention is not limited to the wire type and can also be applied to a non-wire type brassiere. The cup support portion 102 may be deformable without a rigid wire, for example, it may be formed by overlapping fabric materials. The cup support portion 102 may be non-wired, or may be provided with a resin wire with low rigidity, a metal wire with the same rigidity as the resin wire, etc. As the metal wire, a wire with a small diameter (thin) or a wire formed using a material with low rigidity such as titanium can be used. When the cup support portion 102 is formed by overlapping fabric materials, a cloth tape having a curved shape that follows the verge line may be overlapped and used. When the cup support portion 102 is made of a deformable material, it can be a brassiere that is comfortable to wear. The cup support portion 102 may be formed of a separate member from the cup portion 101.

[0032] In this embodiment, the brassiere 100 has been described as an example in which the left and right cup support parts 102 are connected via the base part 110, and the cup support part 102 and the back part 103 are connected. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention may be a so-called glasses-type brassiere that does not include the base part 110. In this case, the back part may extend forward so as to be directly connected to the cup support part, and a connecting member that connects the front center parts of the left and right cup support parts to each other may be separately provided. This allows for excellent design and a light wearing comfort to be achieved.

[0033] In this embodiment, the base 110 extends to the sides of the cup 101, but it may extend to the middle of the lower edge. By providing the base 110, it is possible to improve the stability of the bra when worn under the bust.

[0034] The present invention has been described above by taking a brassiere as a specific example of an embodiment, but the clothing with a cup portion of the present invention is not limited to the specific examples described above, and various other aspects are possible. For example, in addition to the brassiere described in the above embodiment, the present invention can be applied to a bra camisole, a body suit, a bra slip, a top part of a separate type of swimsuit, a leotard, and other clothing with a cup portion. It can also be applied to front-hook type clothing in which the front center is connected with a detachable hook. [Industrial Applicability]

[0035] The garment having a cup portion of the present invention can be in various forms. For example, in addition to the foundation garment as in the above embodiment, the present invention can be applied to various garments having a cup portion, such as sportswear and outerwear.
