Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a brassiere, and more particularly to a brassiere with a gel material made from a gel material. [Background technology]
[0002] Some brassieres use metal wires to maintain the shape of the breasts, but wearing a brassiere with hard metal wires can result in the wires digging into the body or putting pressure on the chest, which can make the bra less comfortable for the wearer.
[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a non-wired brassiere that does not have a wire to hold part of the peripheral edge of a pair of cups that protect the breasts, and that has reinforcing members that hold the boundary area between the breasts and the sides. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent application 2023-99872 publication Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] Recently, there are non-wire brassieres of this type that use a sticky or adhesive gel material to fit the wearer's skin, improving the wearing comfort of the wearer.
[0006] On the other hand, it is anticipated that bras that use gel material may not be able to provide sufficient support to the breasts, and there are concerns that if the breasts are not adequately supported, they may sag or spread outward, a condition known as "sideways movement," and the shape of the breasts may no longer be maintained.
[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a brassiere that can improve the wearing comfort of the wearer and maintain the shape of the breasts. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the brassiere of the present invention comprises a front portion including a pair of cup portions, front panel portions that are continuous with the front portion from both sides of the front portion and are arranged on the side away from the front portion, a back belt portion that is continuous with the front panel portion and is arranged on the side away from the front panel portion, a first under portion that is continuous from the lower edge of the back belt portion, the lower edge of the front panel portion and the lower edge of the front portion, and a second under portion that is continuous from the first under portion to the underside of the back belt portion, the underside of the front panel portion and the underside of the front portion, all of which are made of gel material.
[0009] With this, the gel material made from gel material functions to shape the chest area including the breasts of the wearer, so even though the gel material does not use wires, it can maintain the desired shape of the breasts.
[0010] Furthermore, the bra is made of a gel material that fits comfortably on the wearer's skin, so the wearer's chest is not compressed even when wearing the bra, improving the wearer's comfort.
[0011] The gel material of this bra has multiple side bones formed in the front panel section, and a sub-bone section is bridged between the side bones adjacent to the pair of cup sections and the second under section.
[0012] Furthermore, the gel material forms a verge line portion that supports the pair of cup portions from below at a portion of the pair of cup portions that corresponds to the verge line of the wearer.
[0013] This brassiere is provided with a power net that is placed below the pair of cups and supports the pair of cups from below. [Effects of the Invention]
[0014] According to this invention, it is possible to improve the wearing comfort of the wearer and maintain the shape of the breasts. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016] Next, a brassiere according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0017] 1 is a diagram illustrating the outline of the configuration of a brassiere according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, a brassiere 10 mainly comprises a front 11 including a pair of cups 11-1 and 11-2, front panels 12 arranged on both sides of the front 11, and spaced apart from the front 11, and a back belt 13 arranged on both sides of the front panel 12, and spaced apart from the front panel 12.
[0018] In this embodiment, the brassiere 10 has strap tabs 14 formed on the top of the pair of cups 11-1 and 11-2 to which straps (not shown) are connected, and a hook 15 formed on the back belt 13.
[0019] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the brassiere 10 is formed using a stretch material that is flexible and stretchable, and when worn by the wearer, it fits closely to the wearer's body and stretches flexibly in response to bodily movements.
[0020] 2 is a diagram illustrating the exploded structure of the brassiere 10. As shown in the figure, the brassiere 10 comprises a front fabric 20, a gel material 30, a power net 40, cup panels 50, and a skin-side fabric 60, which are layered together to form a multi-layer structure.
[0021] 3 is a diagram illustrating the outline of the configuration of the front fabric 20. In this embodiment, the front fabric 20 forms the surface of the brassiere 10.
[0022] As shown in the figure, the outer fabric 20 mainly comprises a front portion 21 including a pair of cup portions 21-1, 21-2, a front panel portion 22 arranged on both sides of the front portion 21, continuing from the front portion 21 and positioned away from the front portion 21, and a back belt portion 23 arranged on the side continuing from the front panel portion 22 and positioned away from the front panel portion 22.
[0023] 4 is a diagram illustrating the outline of the configuration of the gel material 30. This gel material 30 is made of a sticky or adhesive gel material, and in this embodiment, it is adhered to the back surface of the front fabric 20 to form the brassiere 10.
[0024] As shown in the figure, the gel material 30 mainly comprises a front portion 31 including a pair of cup portions 31-1 and 31-2, a front panel portion 32 arranged on both sides of the front portion 31, continuing from the front portion 31 and positioned away from the front portion 31, and a back belt portion 33 arranged on the side continuing from the front panel portion 32 and positioned away from the front panel portion 32.
[0025] In this embodiment, the gel material 30 has the edges of the front portion 31, front panel portion 32 and back belt portion 33 hemmed, forming an edge portion 34 where the edges of the front portion 31, front panel portion 32 and back belt portion 33 are continuous.
[0026] In this embodiment, the edge portion 34 has a top portion 34A that is continuous across the upper edge of the front portion 31, the upper edge of the front panel portion 32, and the upper edge of the back belt portion 33.
[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the edge portion 34 has a first under portion 34B that is continuous across the lower edge side of the front portion 31, the lower edge side of the front panel portion 32, and the lower edge side of the back belt portion 33.
[0028] On the other hand, the gel material 30 has a second under portion 35 formed above the first under portion 34B, which extends along the first under portion 34B to the underside of the front portion 31, the underside of the front panel portion 32, and the underside of the back belt portion 33, thereby reinforcing the first under portion 34B.
[0029] The formation of the first under part 34B and the second under part 35 that reinforces the first under part 34B prevents the brassiere 10 from flipping up due to the wearer's movements, while the use of a gel material prevents excessive tightness on the skin, resulting in a comfortable fit.
[0030] In this embodiment, a plurality of side bone portions 36 that function as side bones are formed in the front panel portion 32 of the gel material 30. The side bone portions 36 are formed by bridging between the top portion 34A of the edge portion 34 in the front panel portion 32 and the second under portion 35 in the front panel portion 32.
[0031] In this embodiment, the side bone portion 36 is formed by a first side bone portion 36a adjacent to the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 in the front portion 31, a second side bone portion 36b adjacent to the first side bone portion 36a on the side away from the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2, a third side bone portion 36c adjacent to the second side bone portion 36b on the side away from the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2, and a fourth side bone portion 36d adjacent to the third side bone portion 36c on the side away from the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2.
[0032] In this embodiment, the side bone portion 36 is formed thicker (larger) than the top portion 34A, the first under portion 34B, and the second under portion 35 set in the edge portion 34. That is, a larger amount of gel material is used in the top portion 34A, the first under portion 34B, and the second under portion 35.
[0033] The side bones 36 formed on the front panel 32 function as side bones, and the flesh on the sides of the breasts is pulled up toward the breasts and accommodated in the pair of cup sections 31-1, 31-2, thereby increasing the volume of the wearer's chest and correcting the silhouette of the wearer's sides.
[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a sub-bone portion 37 is formed in the front panel portion 32 of the gel material 30. This sub-bone portion 37 is formed by bridging between the first side bone portion 36a adjacent to the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 and the second under portion 35 so as to lift the breasts from the nape of the neck toward the collarbone.
[0035] In this embodiment, the sub-bone portion 37 is formed to have the same width (thickness) as the side-bone portion 36. That is, the sub-bone portion 37 is formed to be thicker (larger) than the top portion 34A, the first under portion 34B, and the second under portion 35, and a larger amount of gel material is used for the top portion 34A, the first under portion 34B, and the second under portion 35.
[0036] In this embodiment, a pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 of the front portion 31 of the gel material 30 are formed with a verge line portion 38 at a position corresponding to the verge line of the wearer in the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2.
[0037] In this embodiment, the verge line portion 38 is formed thicker (larger) than the side bone portions 36 and the sub bone portions 37. In other words, a larger amount of gel material is used for the side bone portions 36 and the sub bone portions 37.
[0038] In this embodiment, the verge line portion 38 supports the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 from below, and therefore functions as a wire, supporting the breasts so that they face upward.
[0039] 5 is a diagram illustrating the outline of the configuration of the power net 40. As shown in the figure, the power net 40 has a pair of curved portions 41-1, 41-2 formed by curving following the shape of the lower sides of the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 of the gel material 30, and is made of a mesh material.
[0040] In this embodiment, the power net 40 is positioned below the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 of the gel material 30, and supports the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 from below, thereby preventing the brassiere 10 from sliding up due to the wearer's movements.
[0041] 6 is a diagram illustrating the outline of the configuration of the side panel 50. As shown in the figure, the side panel 50 is composed of a pair of side panel portions 51-1 and 51-2. The pair of side panel portions 51-1 and 51-2 are housed in a cup pocket formed between the gel material 30 and the skin side fabric 60, which will be described later.
[0042] 7 is a diagram illustrating the state in which a pair of side panel portions 51-1 and 51-2 constituting the side panel 50 are housed in a cup pocket. As shown in the figure, the pair of side panel portions 51-1 and 51-2 are housed in the cup pocket and attached to the inside of the pair of cup portions 31-1 and 31-2 of the gel material 30.
[0043] In this embodiment, the pair of side panel portions 51-1, 51-2 are not glued across the entire inner surface of the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 of the gel material 30, but are attached by spot-bonding using adhesive applied in dots to the inside of the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 or the outside of the pair of side panel portions 51-1, 51-2 (the side facing the inside of the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2).
[0044] By point-bonding the pair of side panel portions 51-1, 51-2, the elasticity of the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 of the gel material 30 is maintained, while by attaching the pair of side panel portions 51-1, 51-2 to the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2, the occurrence of so-called "lateral flow", in which the breasts sag (spread outwards), is suppressed.
[0045] 8 is a diagram illustrating the outline of the configuration of the skin side fabric 60. In this embodiment, the skin side fabric 60 forms the back surface of the brassiere 10.
[0046] As shown in the figure, the skin side fabric 60 mainly comprises a front portion 61 including a pair of cup portions 61-1, 61-2, front panel portions 62 arranged on both sides of the front portion 61, continuing from the front portion 61 and positioned away from the front portion 61, and a back belt portion 63 arranged on the side continuing from the front panel portion 62 and positioned away from the front panel portion 62.
[0047] The pair of cup portions 61-1, 61-2 of the skin side fabric 60 are formed with slits 64-1, 64-2 that communicate with the cup pockets between the gel material 30 and the skin side fabric 60.
[0048] Next, the procedure for producing the brassiere 10 of this embodiment will be outlined again with reference to Figure 2. As shown in the figure, first, an adhesive is placed inside the front fabric 20, and the power net 40 is thermocompression bonded to the front fabric 20, thereby joining the front fabric 20 and the power net 40 together.
[0049] Next, the gel material 30 is thermocompressed to the inside of the front fabric 20 and the power net 40, thereby bonding the front fabric 20 and the power net 40 bonded thereto with the gel material 30.
[0050] Next, the skin side fabric 60 is joined to the front side fabric 20 to which the power net 40 and gel material 30 are joined, and then a pair of side panel portions 51-1, 51-2 are embedded in the cup pocket between the gel material 30 and the skin side fabric 60, and the pair of side panel portions 51-1, 51-2 are point-bonded to the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 of the gel material 30.
[0051] On the other hand, before joining the skin side fabric 60 and the front side fabric 20, the pair of side panel portions 51-1, 51-2 may be point-bonded to the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 of the gel material 30, and then the skin side fabric 60 and the front side fabric 20 may be joined.
[0052] This results in the formation of a multi-layered brassiere 10 comprising a plurality of components such as the outer fabric 20, gel material 30, power net 40, side panels 50 and skin-side fabric 60, in which the front portion 21 of the outer fabric 20, the front portion 31 of the gel material 30 and the front portion 61 of the skin-side fabric 60 form the front 11 of the brassiere 10, the front panel portion 22 of the outer fabric 20, the front panel portion 32 of the gel material 30 and the front panel portion 62 of the skin-side fabric 60 form the front panel 12 of the brassiere 10, and the back belt portion 23 of the outer fabric 20, the back belt portion 33 of the gel material 30 and the back belt portion 63 of the skin-side fabric 60 form the back belt 13 of the brassiere 10.
[0053] When a wearer puts on such a brassiere 10, the gel material 30 made of gel material functions to shape the chest, including the wearer's breasts, so that even though the gel material 30 does not use wires, it is possible to maintain the desired shape of the breasts.
[0054] Moreover, the brassiere 10 is provided with a gel material 30 made of a gel material that fits the wearer's skin, and the wearer's chest is not compressed when wearing the brassiere 10, thereby improving the wearer's comfortable fit.
[0055] Furthermore, by overlapping the gel material 30 and the power net 40, the function of the verge line portion 38 formed in the gel material 30, which supports the pair of cup portions 31-1, 31-2 from below and helps the breasts to face upward, is reinforced.
[0056] In this way, the wearer's chest is supported by multiple components in addition to the gel material 30, and while support using only the gel material 30 would result in partial pressure being applied to the wearer, this reduces the partial pressure being applied, thereby reducing the feeling of tightness around the wearer's chest.
[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the brassiere 10 is made of a flexible and stretchable stretch material and does not use metal wires, so it will expand or contract in accordance with changes in the wearer's body, even if, for example, the wearer's body shape changes significantly before and after childbirth.
[0058] Furthermore, since the brassiere 10 of this embodiment is non-wired, flexible, and stretchable, it fits the wearer's body regardless of their body type, making it possible to simplify or simplify the size pattern or dimension pattern, for example, by offering the product in two size patterns.
[0059] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0060] In the above embodiment, although illustrations are omitted, the brassiere 10 is described as having straps, but it may also be configured as a so-called strapless brassiere, for example, without straps.
