Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] SUMMARY The present disclosure relates to garments that cover the bust. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, various types of bras have become popular. Typical bras have cups and maintain a high level of shape. In contrast, there are also bras that aim to be soft and comfortable to wear, with less strain on the body.

[0003] For example, there is a brassiere that is made entirely of fabric such as a free-cut fabric and maintains a gentle, soft feel when worn (Patent Document 1). In the brassiere described in Patent Document 1, the front body, back body, and shoulder straps are made entirely of stretchable fabric. The brassiere is made by attaching a patch to the main fabric. The patch has slits in the chest area for inserting pads. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-40081 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the bra described in Patent Document 1, a removable pad is inserted between the main fabric and the padding through a slit in the padding. When wearing such a bra, the pad may slip off or fall out. Furthermore, pads generally have a certain thickness and are formed with a gentle curve, but because they are formed to fit the bust, they lack shapeability.

[0006] In view of this situation, there is a need for the development of clothing that can stably accommodate shaped cup members.

[0007] The present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object of the present disclosure is to provide clothing that can stably accommodate a detachable and sculptural cup member. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the garment for covering the bust according to the present disclosure comprises a front part that covers the bust and is connected to a back part at side parts that cover the upper side and the sides, a back part that covers the back and is connected to the front part at the upper side and the sides, and an inner part that is arranged inside the front part and is formed so as to be detachable from the front part near the neckline, the inner part comprises a storage part that stores a cup member that maintains the shape of the bust and is formed in a bag-like shape using an elastic material, and the storage part has an opening on the front part side that allows the cup member to be inserted and removed.

[0009] The storage portions may be formed in a pair on the left and right, and the opening may be formed on the front center side of an imaginary vertical line passing through a position where the cup top of the cup member abuts against the storage portions.

[0010] The opening may be formed from the upper front center side toward the lower side of the armpit.

[0011] The inner portion may further include a cup-shaped portion formed from a material less stretchable than the storage portion, below the side of the storage portion, and the cup-shaped portion may be connected to the neck portion of the front portion above the storage portion.

[0012] The inner part further includes connecting parts (34) that connect to the storage part and the upper and side of the front part, and when worn, the connecting parts may lift up the cup opening part using the part where the front part or the back part abuts against the shoulder as a fulcrum.

[0013] The housing may further include a circumferentially disposed edge connected to the underside of the inner portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a garment that can stably accommodate a detachable and sculpted cup member. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description of the drawings, the same or similar parts are designated by the same or similar reference numerals.

[0017] (Embodiment) 1-2, a brassiere 1, which is an example of clothing that covers the bust, will be described. In the present disclosure, the brassiere 1 is a so-called half-top brassiere that does not include wires.

[0018] In this disclosure, directions such as up, down, left, and right are described based on the state in which the brassiere 1 is worn by a wearer, unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, in this disclosure, each part of the brassiere 1 is described as being made of one or more pieces of fabric, but this is not limited to this. Each part may be made of multiple pieces of fabric, or may be part of a single piece of fabric.

[0019] The brassiere 1 comprises a front portion 10, a back portion 20, an inner portion 30 and a hem portion 40.

[0020] The front portion 10 covers the bust of the wearer and is connected to the back portion 20 at the top and sides. The back portion 20 covers the back of the wearer and is connected to the front portion 10 at the top and sides. In this disclosure, the front portion 10 and the back portion 20 are connected at the front side of the wearer to form a circumferential shape, but this is not limited to this. The front portion 10 and the back portion 20 may be connected at the back side of the wearer, or at the shoulder ridge or side edge. Alternatively, the front portion 10 and the back portion 20 may be cut from a single piece of fabric in a shape that connects the shoulders and then connected at the sides.

[0021] The inner portion 30 is disposed inside the front portion 10 and is formed so as to be separable from the front portion 10 near the neckline 4. The inner portion 30 has substantially the same shape as the front portion 10 and is disposed so as to overlap the front portion 10. In the present disclosure, the upper end of the inner portion 30 is formed lower than the upper end of the front portion 10 near the front center line, as shown in FIG. 2. The inner portion 30 connects to the upper side, armpits, and lower side of the front portion 10. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner portion 30 and the front portion 10 are connected at the neckline 4 above the connection with the cup neckline 33, which will be described later.

[0022] The inner part 30 is formed so as to be separable from the front part 10 except for the connecting part with the front part 10. The inner part 30 and the front part 10 are formed so as to be separable from the connecting part with the cup opening part 33 towards the front center. The inner part 30 is formed so that a hand or the like can be inserted between the front part 10 and the inner part 30 from the neck opening part 4, more specifically, the upper end of the front center of the brassiere 1.

[0023] The edge portion 40 is connected to the underside of the inner portion 30 and is arranged circumferentially. In the present disclosure, the edge portion 40 is connected to the lower end of the inner portion 30 as well as the lower end of the front portion 10 and the lower end of the back portion 20. The edge portion 40 allows the inner portion 30 or the cup member 50 to fit closely to the wearer's skin. In the present disclosure, the edge portion 40 is connected to the lower ends of the front portion 10 and the inner portion 30 and to the lower end of the back portion 20 on the back side, and is arranged circumferentially, but this is not limited to this. The brassiere 1 may not have an edge portion 40 if the connecting portion 34 (described below) of the inner portion 30 is made of a fabric that does not fray.

[0024] (Inner part) 3-4, the inner part 30 will be described. The inner part 30 includes a receiving part 31, a cup bore part 33, and a connecting part .

[0025] The storage section 31 stores the cup member 50 and is formed in a bag shape using a stretchable material. A pair of storage sections 31 are formed on the left and right sides. The storage section 31 has an opening 32 on the front surface section 10 side through which the cup member 50 can be inserted and removed. The storage section 31 is stretchable, making it easy to attach and detach the cup member 50.

[0026] The cup member 50 retains the shape of the bust. In the present disclosure, the cup member 50 itself has a three-dimensional shape and covers at least the top periphery of the bust. More preferably, the cup member 50 holds the entire bust inside the cup member 50. It is also preferable that the cup member 50 does not change shape or is resistant to change shape due to the shape of the bust when worn or the pressure applied to the cup member 50 when wearing the brassiere 1. The cup member 50 retains the shape of the bust, making it possible to shape the bust.

[0027] In the present disclosure, the cup member 50 is assumed to be any cup member 50. The cup member 50 may be distributed together with the brassiere 1 according to the present disclosure, or may be selected by the wearer as appropriate from among cup members that are generally distributed.

[0028] The cup member 50 is inserted through the opening 32 and housed inside the bag-shaped housing portion 31. The cup member 50 can also be removed from the opening 32.

[0029] The cup bore 33 is formed from a material that is less stretchable than the container 31, from the side to the bottom. The cup bore 33 is connected to the neck bore 4 of the front part 10 on the upper side of the container 31. As shown in Fig. 3-4, the cup bore 33 is formed around the container 31 that houses the cup member 50. The front part 10 and the inner part 30 are formed to be separable on the front center side of the position where the cup bore 33 and the neck bore 4 are connected.

[0030] The connecting portion 34 is connected to the storage portion 31, the upper side and side of the front portion 10, and the edge portion 40. When worn, the connecting portion 34 lifts the cup opening portion 33, using the portion where the front portion 10 or the back portion 20 abuts against the shoulder as a fulcrum. In the present disclosure, the front portion 10 and the back portion 20 are connected at the front side, and the back portion 20 is disposed on the ridge of the shoulder, so the connecting portion 34 lifts the cup opening portion 33, using the portion where the back portion 20 abuts against the shoulder as a fulcrum.

[0031] In the present disclosure, the connecting portion 34 is preferably formed to be less stretchable than the accommodation portion 31. The connecting portion 34 includes an upper connecting portion 34a and a lower connecting portion 34b, and the lower connecting portion 34b is formed to be less stretchable than the upper connecting portion 34a. The lower connecting portion 34b fits closely to the wearer's skin and supports the bust together with the cup opening 33. The upper connecting portion 34a, in cooperation with the lower connecting portion 34b, lifts the cup opening 33 or bust from the ridge of the shoulder. In another embodiment, the upper connecting portion 34a may be formed to be less stretchable than the lower connecting portion 34b. In this case, the upper connecting portion 34a has a wide area and lifts the cup opening 33 or bust upward, thereby reducing the burden on the shoulders.

[0032] Typical half-top bras use pads that have poor shape retention and are formed to fit the bust. By sewing a pad holder to the underside of the outer fabric, the outer fabric and the pad holder form a pouch into which the pad can be inserted. In this case, because the pad holder is sewn to the outer fabric, the seam may be visible on the front side of the bra. Furthermore, even if a cup member is inserted into the pouch formed in this way, the pad abuts against the outer fabric, so the cup member moves with the movement of the outer fabric, easily losing its shape, and this may interfere with the pad's original silhouette and wearing comfort.

[0033] In contrast, in the present disclosure, the storage section 31 is formed so as to be separable from the front section 10, and the storage section 31 itself forms a bag that stores the cup member 50. When the cup member 50 is stored in such a storage section 31, the cup member 50 remains inside the storage section 31 without coming into contact with the front section 10, and therefore does not follow the movement or changes of the front section 10, and the shape of the cup member 50 is less likely to be distorted. This allows the brassiere 1 to exhibit the silhouette and wearing comfort that the cup member 50 has.

[0034] Furthermore, since the opening for inserting and removing the pad is generally formed on the skin side, the pad may be exposed from the opening and come into contact with the skin, causing the pad to shift or fall off.

[0035] In contrast, in the present disclosure, the opening 32 is formed on the front part 10 side of the inner part 30. The opening 32 and the cup member 50 do not come into contact with the skin. Because the cup member 50 is not exposed from the opening 32 or comes into contact with the skin, the cup member 50 remains in the storage part 31 and can maintain the shape of the bust.

[0036] The opening 32 is formed on the outside (front section 10 side) of the bag-shaped storage section 31, specifically on the bust protruding side. This allows the storage section 31 to flexibly store the cup member 50 by opening and closing the opening 32, even if the size or shape of the cup member 50 changes.

[0037] Here, the opening 32 is formed closer to the center front than an imaginary vertical line passing through the position where the cup top of the cup member 50 abuts against the storage portion 31. In FIG. 4, the cup top position is indicated by a "+" symbol, and the imaginary vertical line is indicated by a dashed dotted line. Generally, the curvature of the bust curve is greater inside the bust top and smaller at the sides, so the cup member 50 may also be formed with a greater curvature inside the cup top and a smaller curvature at the sides. In the present disclosure, by providing the opening 32 in the portion of the cup member 50 with a greater curvature, the opening 32 opens and closes according to the size and shape of the cup member 50 to store the cup member 50.

[0038] Here, an example of forming the accommodation portion 31 will be described. The accommodation portion 31 is formed by three pieces of fabric: a pair of underarm covering portions 31a that cover the left and right underarm sides, and a front center side covering portion 31b that covers the front center side. As shown in FIG. 3, the pair of underarm covering portions 31a and the front center side covering portion 31b are connected at least on the skin side. The connected pair of underarm covering portions 31a and the front center side covering portion 31b are folded to form a bag on the upper side, and are connected at the underarm and lower sides at cup opening portions 33. As shown by the dashed line in FIGS. 3-4, the front center side covering portion 31b fixes the bag shape of the accommodation portion 31 by sewing the folded fabric together near the front center line, thereby preventing the cup member 50 from moving.

[0039] 4, one of the pair of side covering-parts 31a and the front central covering-part 31b are connected at the top and bottom on the front face part 10 side, but are not connected at the center, thereby forming an opening 32. Stitches may be formed above and below the opening 32 so as to intersect with the seams connecting the pair of side covering-parts 31a and the front central covering-part 31b, thereby forming sewn-up seams. By sewing up, the stress on the top and bottom ends of the opening 32 can be reduced.

[0040] By forming the storage portion 31 in this manner, the storage portion 31 can be formed three-dimensionally, and the cup member 50 can be inserted and removed through the opening 32. Note that the method for generating the storage portion 31 described here is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 4, the opening 32 is formed from the upper front center toward the lower armpit. In the present disclosure, the cup member 50 is formed from separate left and right members, and the storage section 31 is also formed separately on the left and right sides. According to the inventors' findings, the position and inverted V-shape of the opening 32 shown in FIG. 4 corresponds to the part of the bust with the greatest curvature. By providing the opening 32 in the part of the bust with the greatest curvature, the opening 32 opens and closes in accordance with the magnitude of the curvature of the cup member 50. This allows the storage section 31 to accommodate cup members 50 of a wide range of sizes.

[0042] Fig. 5 shows a cross section of the portion indicated by the arrow in Fig. 4. When a cup member 50a with a large curvature is to be accommodated in the accommodation portion 31, as shown in Fig. 5(a), the brassiere 1 opens the opening 32 to match the curve of the cup member 50a and accommodates the cup member 50 in the accommodation portion 31. On the other hand, when a cup member 50b with a small curvature is to be accommodated in the accommodation portion 31, as shown in Fig. 5(b), the brassiere 1 is formed so that the side-side covering portion 31a and the front-center-side covering portion 31b, which form the opening 32, overlap each other.

[0043] When the brassiere 1 is laid flat or when a cup member 50b with a small curvature is accommodated, it is preferable that there is excess fabric in the accommodation portion 31 so that the edge of the fabric of the accommodation portion 31 that forms the opening 32 can be folded, as shown in Fig. 5(b). Even when the accommodation portion 31 accommodates a cup member 50a with a large curvature, this excess fabric covers the cup member 50, as shown in Fig. 5(a), and the area of ​​the cup member 50 that comes into contact with the front surface portion 10 can be reduced.

[0044] In this way, the brassiere 1 according to the present disclosure can stably accommodate a sculpted cup member.

[0045] In the present disclosure, a brassiere has been described as an example of clothing that covers the bust, but the clothing that covers the bust is not limited to this. The clothing that covers the bust may be any clothing with detachable cup members, such as a swimsuit, leotard, bodysuit, or camisole.

[0046] The hem 40 may be formed as appropriate depending on the shape and material of the garment according to the present disclosure. For example, if the garment is a camisole and the inner section 30 is provided inside the camisole, the front section 10 may extend to the vicinity of the wearer's waist, and the hem 40 may be connected to the inner section 30 below the waistline, thereby achieving a tight fit between the cup member 50 and the bust. Alternatively, the garment may not include the hem 40, and the lower connecting section 34b of the inner section 30 may be formed from a fabric that is less likely to stretch and fray, thereby achieving a tight fit between the cup member 50 and the bust.

[0047] (Other embodiments) As described above, the present invention has been described by way of an embodiment, but the descriptions and drawings that form part of this disclosure should not be understood as limiting the present invention. From this disclosure, various alternative embodiments, examples, and operating techniques will become apparent to those skilled in the art.

[0048] The present invention naturally includes various embodiments not described herein. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention is defined only by the invention-specifying matters according to the scope of the claims that are appropriate from the above description.
