[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and various modifications are possible within the described scope. In each drawing, those having low relevance to the present disclosure are not illustrated.

[0016] 〔First Embodiment〕 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a user U wears a bra 10 according to the first embodiment. Further, FIG. 2 is a front view showing the bra 10 according to the first embodiment in a deployed state, and FIG. 3 is a rear view showing the bra 10 according to the first embodiment in a deployed state.

[0017] (Overall Configuration of the Bra) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the bra 10 includes a front part 12 having a pair of cup parts 14. Further, the bra 10 includes a pair of side parts 16 arranged on both sides of the front part 12 and two shoulder straps 18.

[0018] One side part 16 (for example, the left side part 16 in FIG. z) is connected to the side part of one cup part 14 (for example, the left cup part 14 in FIG. 2). The other side part 16 (for example, the right side part 16 in FIG. 2) is connected to the side part of the other cup part 14 (for example, the right cup part 14 in FIG. 2).

[0019] One of the two shoulder straps 18 (for example, the left shoulder strap 18 in FIG. 2) extends from a stretch panel 50 on the upper side edge side of one cup part 14 (for example, the left cup part 14 in FIG. 2) to the upper edge side of the back of one side part 16 (for example, the left side part 16 in FIG. 2). The other shoulder strap 18 (for example, the right shoulder strap 18 in FIG. 2) extends from a stretch panel 50 on the upper side edge side of the other cup part 14 (for example, the right cup part 14 in FIG. 2) to the upper edge side of the back of the other side part 16 (for example, the right side part 16 in FIG. 2).

[0020] (A pair of cup sections and a front section) As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the front section 12 is equipped with a pair of cup sections 14 positioned on the left and right sides. The pair of cup sections 14 are formed from bowl-shaped members that cover the user U's bust (chest) and are deformable to conform to the shape of the user U's bust (chest). The pair of cup sections 14 are formed to be substantially symmetrical. Specifically, the pair of cup sections 14 are formed to be substantially symmetrical not only in their external shape but also in their internal structure (see Figure 5).

[0021] As an example, the front section 12 is configured as a pair of cup sections 14 formed as a single unit on the left and right sides. The central section 22 in the width direction of the front section 12 is located in the center of the pair of cup sections 14 that are a single unit on the left and right sides. The vertical length of the central section 22 is shorter than the vertical length of the other outer parts in the width direction, and the central section 22 is positioned at the bottom of the front section 12. On the outer side (i.e., the surface side) of the central section 22, only the outer fabric is connected at the front center 22A.

[0022] Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the structure of the bra 10, and Figure 5 is a front view showing the structure of the bra 10. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, each pair of cup portions 14, in a front view, comprises a lower edge 14A, an end edge 14B, an outer upper edge 14C, and an inner upper edge 14D. The lower edge 14A extends along the horizontal direction. The end edge 14B extends upward from the outer end of the lower edge 14A in the width direction and intersects with the lower edge 14A. Specifically, in a front view, the end edge 14B is inclined with respect to the horizontal direction such that its upper part is located further out in the width direction than its lower part. The outer upper edge 14C extends inward and upward in the width direction from the upper end of the end edge 14B. The inner upper edge 14D connects the upper end of the outer upper edge 14C and the upper edge of the central portion 22 and is curved in a convex shape.

[0023] A connecting portion 24 is provided adjacent to the edge 14B for connecting to the side portion 16. For example, the connecting portion 24 is a seam that connects the cup portion 14 and the side portion 16, and is constructed by overlapping and sewing together a part of the cup portion 14 and a part of the side portion 16. The connecting portion 24 has a substantially constant width in the width direction. The connecting portion 24 is inclined with respect to the horizontal direction such that the upper part is located further out in the width direction than the lower part.

[0024] The pair of cup sections 14 are made of molded cups. Some molded cups are made by sewing together pieces of fabric, while others are made from resin sheets such as urethane sheets without sewing. For example, the pair of cup sections 14 are made from molded cups made from resin sheets such as urethane sheets without sewing.

[0025] Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-section of the cup portion 14 along the longitudinal direction. As shown in Figure 8, the cup portion 14 comprises an outer surface portion 26 made of fabric arranged on the outer side, a back surface portion 28 made of fabric arranged on the back side, and a resin portion 30 arranged between the outer surface portion 26 and the back surface portion 28. The resin portion 30 constitutes a molded cup and is arranged throughout the entire interior of the pair of cup portions 14 (see Figure 4).

[0026] For example, the thickness of the resin part 30 in the vertical direction is greater than the thickness of the upper end and lower end of the resin part 30 in the vertical direction. Although not shown in the illustration, for example, the thickness of the resin part 30 in the width direction is greater than the thickness of both ends of the resin part 30 in the width direction.

[0027] Figure 6 is a configuration diagram of a pair of cup portions 14 viewed from the back side. As shown in Figure 6, an attachment cloth 32 is attached to the outside of the back surface 28 of the pair of cup portions 14, and an insertion portion 34 is formed between the back surface 28 and the attachment cloth 32. The lower end of the attachment cloth 32 is curved in a concave shape to conform to the underbust of the user U. As a result, the lower end of the insertion portion 34 between the back surface 28 and the attachment cloth 32 has a concave curved shape. An opening 34A is formed on the outside of the insertion portion 34 in the width direction, along the vertical direction. Each of the pair of cup portions 14 is provided with an insertion portion 34, and a lower pad 36 is inserted into each of the insertion portions 34. The lower pad 36 is removable through the opening 34A of the insertion portion 34 (see Figure 7).

[0028] As an example, the lower pad 36 is an elliptical member. The lower pad 36 can be inserted into the insertion section 34 in a direction in which the longer side of the ellipse intersects with the opening 34A of the insertion section 34. As shown in Figure 5, in a front view, a pair of lower pads 36 are inserted into the insertion sections 34 (see Figure 6) of a pair of cup sections 14. The pair of lower pads 36 are arranged approximately symmetrically so that the longer sides of the ellipse intersect with respect to the horizontal direction. Specifically, one end of the longer side of the ellipse of the lower pad 36 is located towards the center in the width direction and towards the bottom in the vertical direction, while the other end of the longer side of the ellipse of the lower pad 36 is located towards the outside in the width direction and towards the top in the vertical direction.

[0029] For example, the lower pad 36 is made of a resin such as urethane. For example, the thickness of the lower pad 36 is thinner than the thickness of the resin part 30 (see Figure 8). Note that the thickness of the lower pad 36 and the thickness of the resin part 30 can be changed. The vertical length of the lower pad 36 is shorter than the vertical length of the resin part 30, and the lower pad 36 overlaps the lower side of the resin part 30. As a result, the lower pad 36 is positioned on the lower side of the resin part 30 of the pair of cup parts 14, making it possible to lift the user U's bust from below.

[0030] Furthermore, by removing the lower pad 36 from the insertion part 34, user U can also wear the bra 10 without the lower pad 36.

[0031] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, multiple bones 40 are arranged inside the pair of cup portions 14, on the side of the side portion 16 connected to the cup portion 14 (i.e., the outer side of the cup portion 14 in the width direction). In other words, the multiple bones 40 are built into the pair of cup portions 14. The multiple bones 40 are spaced apart along the connection portion 24 with the side portion 16. Furthermore, the multiple bones 40 are arranged in a direction that intersects the horizontal direction such that the upper part is on the outside in the width direction relative to the lower part. Here, the horizontal direction refers to the horizontal direction of the bra 10 when the user U is wearing the bra 10.

[0032] The number of bones 40 is preferably between 2 and 5, and more preferably between 3 and 4. As an example, the number of bones 40 is 3.

[0033] The multiple bones 40 are arranged at intervals from one another, thereby covering a certain width along the connection portion 24 with the side portion 16 on the outer side in the width direction of the cup portion 14. The outer width direction angle of the multiple bones 40 intersecting the horizontal direction is preferably 50 degrees or more and less than 90 degrees, more preferably 60 degrees or more and less than 85 degrees, and even more preferably 65 degrees or more and less than 80 degrees.

[0034] For example, the bones 40 are made of resin. The width of each bone 40 is approximately the same. The entire portions of multiple bones 40 overlap the resin portion 30 inside the pair of cup portions 14 (see Figure 4). Also, with the lower pad 36 inserted into the insertion portion 34 of the pair of cup portions 14 (see Figure 6), at least a portion of the multiple bones 40 may overlap the lower pad 36 (see Figure 4).

[0035] For example, the longitudinal length of the multiple bones 40 increases as they are positioned further inward in the width direction. For example, the lower ends of the multiple bones 40 are in similar positions, while the upper ends of the multiple bones 40 are positioned higher as they are positioned further inward in the width direction. This ensures that when user U wears the bra 10, the user U's bust is supported from the sides as it rises. Because the multiple bones 40 are spaced apart, the area between the multiple bones 40 in the cup portion 14 can stretch when a tensile force is applied. This allows the area around the multiple bones 40 in the cup portion 14 to deform to conform to the curved surface of user U's bust. In addition, while the multiple bones 40 are straight before wearing the bra 10, the multiple bones may also have a curved shape.

[0036] When user U wears the bra 10, multiple (e.g., three) bones 40 exert an upward force in the direction of arrow A (see Figure 4), which intersects with the multiple (e.g., three) bones 40. This makes it possible to gather the flesh from the sides towards the center of the bust.

[0037] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, a stretch panel 50 is provided at a position including the outer upper edge 14C of each pair of cup portions 14, extending in the direction in which the shoulder straps 18 are connected, with a width wider than the width of the shoulder straps 18. The stretch panel 50 is positioned up to the area including the upper side of the multiple bones 40. The stretch panel 50 is made of an expandable and contractible material. The outer upper edge 14C is an example of the upper side edge of the pair of cup portions 14.

[0038] As an example, the stretch panel 50 has its longer side aligned with the outer upper edge 14C of the cup portion 14. One end 50A of the stretch panel 50 in the longitudinal direction extends upward from the outer upper edge 14C of the cup portion 14 (see Figure 5). One end 18A of the shoulder strap 18 in the longitudinal direction is connected to one end 50A of the stretch panel 50 in the longitudinal direction. The other end of the stretch panel 50 in the longitudinal direction, the outer end 50B, is connected to the connection part 24 with the side portion 16. As an example, the width of the stretch panel 50 in the longitudinal direction is greater in the central part than in the width of both ends in the longitudinal direction.

[0039] The stretch panel 50 has its outer end 50B positioned on the lower side in the vertical direction and on the outer side in the width direction, and one end 50A positioned on the upper side in the vertical direction and on the inner side in the width direction. In other words, the pair of left and right stretch panels 50 are arranged in a direction that intersects the horizontal direction such that there is an upward slope from the outer side in the width direction to the inner side in the width direction.

[0040] For example, the stretch panel 50 is formed by laminating together multiple (for example, three) stretchable fabrics. The outer edge 50B of the stretch panel 50 has a somewhat wide width along the vertical direction, and the vertical width of the stretch panel 50 is wider than the width of the shoulder strap 18.

[0041] When user U wears the bra 10, a pair of stretch panels 50 exert an upward force in the direction of arrow B (see Figure 4), which intersects the longitudinal direction of the stretch panels 50 (see the area of ​​the imaginary line in Figure 4). This makes it possible to gather the flesh from the sides towards the center of the bust.

[0042] (A pair of side sections) The pair of side sections 16 are equipped with a fastening structure 60 that fastens them together at their backs. For example, the fastening structure 60 includes a hook section 60B (see Figure 9) provided on the back of one side section 16, and multiple hook sections 60A (see Figure 2) provided on the back of the other side section 16, to which the hook section 60B is hooked.

[0043] Figure 9 is a diagram showing one side portion 16 viewed from the inside. Figure 10 is a diagram showing one side portion 16 viewed from the outside. As shown in Figures 9 and 10, one side portion 16 comprises a lower edge 16A, an upper edge 16B, a side edge 16C, and an outer upper edge 16D. The lower edge 16A is an extension of the lower edge 14A of the cup portion 14 and extends horizontally. The upper edge 16B extends horizontally and has a width defined between it and the lower edge 16A. The side edge 16C extends upward from the end of the lower edge 16A. A hook portion 60B of the fastening structure 60 is provided on the inner portion of the side edge 16C of the side portion 16. The outer upper edge 16D connects the end of the upper edge 16B to the upper end of the side edge 16C, and is curved in a concave shape from the end of the upper edge 16B toward the upper end of the side edge 16C.

[0044] The other side portion 16 has the same shape as the first side portion 16, but differs in that it has an extension portion 70 which is an extension of the lower edge 16A and the outer upper edge 16D (see Figure 2). Inside the extension portion 70, there are multiple stages of hook portions 60A which constitute part of the fastening structure 60 (see Figure 2).

[0045] As shown in Figure 9, strip-shaped rubber members 72, 74, and 76 are arranged inside the pair of side sections 16 along the lower edge 16A, the upper edge 16B, and the outer upper edge 16D. Although only one side section 16 is shown in Figure 9, the other side section 16 has a similar configuration. The lower edge 16A, the upper edge 16B, and the outer upper edge 16D are examples of edges excluding the portion connected to the cup section 14. As an example, the rubber members 72, 74, and 76 are sandwiched between two pieces of fabric, the outer and inner layers of the side section 16. The rubber members 72, 74, and 76 are fixed inside the side section 16 by being sewn into the lower edge 16A, the upper edge 16B, and the outer upper edge 16D of the side section 16. The strip-shaped rubber members 72, 74, and 76 are positioned along the lower edge 16A, upper edge 16B, and outer upper edge 16D of the pair of side sections 16, making the pair of side sections 16 more stretchable when the user U puts on the bra 10.

[0046] (Two shoulder straps) As shown in Figures 2 and 3, one of the two shoulder straps 18 is connected between the stretch panel 50 and the side portion 16 of the cup portion 14 on one side in the width direction. The other shoulder strap 18 is connected between the stretch panel 50 and the side portion 16 of the cup portion 14 on the other side in the width direction. One end 18A of the shoulder strap 18 is connected to the stretch panel 50 (see Figure 2).

[0047] As shown in Figure 10, the other end 18B of the shoulder strap 18 is connected to the outer surface 90A of the corner 90 between the upper edge 16B and the outer upper edge 16D of the side portion 16. The corner 90 of the side portion 16 is an example of the upper back edge of the side portion 16. The outer surface 90A of the corner 90 of the side portion 16 is provided with an attachment portion 92 to which the insertion device 100, to which the shoulder strap 18 is folded, is attached. In other words, the attachment portion 92 is exposed on the outer surface 90A side of the corner 90 of the side portion 16. As shown in Figure 9, the attachment portion 92 is not exposed on the back surface 90B side of the corner 90 of the side portion 16.

[0048] The insertion device 100 has two elongated openings 100A. A rectangular attachment portion 92 made of fabric is inserted through one of the openings 100A of the insertion device 100. The attachment portion 92 is sewn to the outer surface 90A of the corner portion 90 of the side portion 16 after being inserted through one of the openings 100A and folded back. The other end 18B of the shoulder strap 18 is inserted through the other opening 100A of the insertion device 100. Although not shown in the illustration, the other end 18B of the shoulder strap 18 is fixed to the middle portion of the shoulder strap 18 after being inserted through the other opening 100A and folded back.

[0049] As shown in Figure 10, the shoulder strap 18 is attached to the outer surface 90A of the corner 90 of the side portion 16, in the opposite direction to the cup portion 14 connected to the side portion 16, at a predetermined angle θ with respect to the horizontal direction. The angle θ is preferably 35 degrees or more and 55 degrees or less, more preferably 38 degrees or more and 52 degrees or less, and even more preferably 42 degrees or more and 48 degrees or less. As an example, the angle θ is approximately 45 degrees. The configuration of the attachment portion 92 for attaching the shoulder strap 18 to the pair of side portions 16 is symmetrical.

[0050] (Mechanism of Action and Effects) Next, the operation and effects of this embodiment will be described.

[0051] The bra 10 of this embodiment comprises a front portion 12 having a pair of cup portions 14 on the left and right sides, and a pair of side portions 16 connected to the side of one cup portion 14 and the side of the other cup portion 14, respectively. The pair of side portions 16 are provided with fastening structures 60. The bra 10 also has two shoulder straps 18 that extend from the upper side edges of the pair of cup portions 14 to the upper back edges of the side portions 16 connected to the cup portions 14. Furthermore, the bra 10 has a plurality of bones 40 provided inside the pair of cup portions 14, on the side of the side portions 16 connected to the cup portions 14. The plurality of bones 40 are arranged at intervals along the connection portions 24 with the side portions 16, and are arranged in a direction that intersects with the horizontal direction such that the upper part is outward relative to the lower part.

[0052] As a result, when user U wears the bra 10, the two shoulder straps 18 are placed over user U's shoulders, and the pair of cup portions 14 cover user U's left and right breasts. In this state, the fastening structure 60 fastens the pair of side portions 16 together at user U's back. As shown in Figure 4, when user U wears the bra 10, the multiple bones 40 exert an upward force in the direction of arrow A, which intersects with the multiple bones 40, making it possible to bring the flesh from the sides towards the center of the breasts. In addition, the multiple (for example, three) bones 40 are arranged at intervals, and the parts between the multiple bones 40 in the pair of cup portions 14 are easily stretched, making it easier for the pair of cup portions 14 to fit along the curved surface of user U's breasts. Therefore, the bra 10 can bring the flesh from user U's sides towards the center of the breasts and shape the bust line.

[0053] Furthermore, the bra 10 is provided with a stretch panel 50 that extends in the direction in which the shoulder straps 18 are connected, with a width wider than the width of the shoulder straps 18, at a position including the outer upper edge 14C of the pair of cup portions 14. The stretch panel 50 is positioned to include the area above the multiple bones 40. As a result, as shown in Figure 4, when the user U wears the bra 10, the stretch panel 50 exerts an upward force in the direction of arrow B, which intersects the longitudinal direction of the stretch panel 50, making it possible to bring the flesh from the sides towards the center of the bust. Therefore, the bra 10 can more effectively shape the bust line by bringing the flesh from the sides of the user U towards the center of the bust with the stretch panel 50.

[0054] Furthermore, in bra 10, the bones 40 are made of resin. Resin bones 40 are often softer and more easily deformed than metal bones. As a result, when user U wears bra 10, compared to when the bones are metal, the resin bones 40 are more likely to deform to conform to the curves of user U's skin when they come into contact with user U's skin, reducing the likelihood of user U feeling pain. In addition, compared to when the bones are metal, it can suppress the negative impact on image due to metal allergies, etc. Moreover, compared to metal bones, resin bones 40 are thinner and lighter, so wearing bra 10 puts less strain on the body.

[0055] Furthermore, in the bra 10, the number of bones 40 is between two and five. This makes it easier to position the bones over a wider area inside the pair of cups 14 along the connection point 24 with the side section 16, compared to the case with a single bone. Also, compared to the case where a single bone is placed in the same area as multiple bones 40, the area around the multiple bones 40 is more easily deformed to conform to the curved surface of the user's skin. For this reason, by arranging two to five bones 40, the force that supports the user's bust and pulls the flesh from the sides towards the center becomes stronger compared to a single bone. In other words, with a single bone, it is difficult to prevent breast tissue from flowing to the back, and it is more likely to flow, so two to five bones 40 are arranged. In addition, compared to the case where more than five bones are arranged, it is possible to reduce costs and it is easier to position multiple bones 40 in a desirable area where the effect is obtained when wearing the bra 10. For this reason, in the bra 10, the multiple bones 40 can more effectively shape the bust line by pulling the flesh from the sides of the user's bust towards the center.

[0056] Furthermore, in the bra 10, strip-shaped rubber members 72, 74, and 76 are arranged inside the pair of side sections 16 along the edges, specifically the lower edge 16A, upper edge 16B, and outer upper edge 16D, excluding the portion connected to the cup section 14. The rubber members 72, 74, and 76 are sandwiched between two layers of fabric, the outer and inner layers of the side section 16, preventing them from directly touching the skin. As a result, when the user U wears the bra 10, the rubber members 72, 74, and 76 do not directly touch the skin, making it usable even for those with sensitive skin, and preventing the rubber members 72, 74, and 76 from digging into the skin when wearing the bra 10. Therefore, the comfort of wearing the bra 10 can be improved.

[0057] Furthermore, in the bra 10, the attachment points 92 for connecting the two shoulder straps 18 to the pair of side sections 16 are provided on the outer surface 90A side of the pair of side sections 16. As a result, when the user U wears the bra 10, the attachment points 92 of the two shoulder straps 18 do not come into contact with the user U's skin. This improves the comfort of the bra 10.

[0058] Furthermore, in the bra 10, the shoulder straps 18 are attached to the upper back edge of the side portion 16 at an angle of 35 to 55 degrees with respect to the horizontal, in the opposite direction to the cup portion 14 connected to the side portion 16. As a result, when the user U wears the bra 10, the shoulder straps 18 are less likely to slip off the user U's shoulders compared to when the angle is greater than 55 degrees. Also, when the user U wears the bra 10, wrinkles are less likely to form near the other end 18B of the shoulder straps 18 compared to when the angle is less than 35 degrees. Therefore, the comfort of wearing the bra 10 can be improved.
