Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to clothing that functions as a brassiere, consisting of an inner garment with cups that maintain the shape of the bust, attached to the inside of an outer garment such as a tank top or T-shirt. [Background technology]

[0002] Garments that have the functions of this type of brassiere are called bra tops, and because they do not constrict the body too much when worn and fit the chest comfortably, they are popular with many women not only as innerwear but also as a top.

[0003] Conventionally, this type of clothing having the functions of a brassiere is disclosed in Patent Document 1.

[0004] FIG. 10 is a rear view of a tank top type garment having the function of a brassiere, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, seen from the front side in an inside-out state.

[0005] FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of an under-bust belt portion provided at the bottom of the innerwear so as to surround the under-bust portion of the wearer in the conventional example of FIG.

[0006] The conventional garment with the functions of a brassiere shown in FIG. 10 is constructed with an inner garment 2 having a pair of cup portions 3 on the left and right sides to maintain the shape of the bust, attached to the inside of a tank-top-style outer garment 1 having a front body and a back body sewn together.

[0007] As shown in Figure 10 in an inside-out state, the inner garment 2 is composed of a pair of left and right cup portions 3, an inner chest cloth portion 4 joined to the upper edge of the cup portions 3, a cup base cloth portion 5 joined to the lower edge of the cup portions 3 and supporting the cup portions 3, left and right side cloth portions 6 joined to the side edges of the cup portions 3, an inner back cloth portion (not shown) that covers the wearer's back and is joined to the rear edges of the left and right side cloth portions 6, and an underbust belt portion 7 attached to the hem of the inner garment 2 so as to surround the wearer's underbust area.

[0008] The fabric of each component of the inner garment 2 that comes into contact with the wearer's skin is bare jersey cotton.

[0009] The left and right cup sections 3 are also made of polyurethane molded cups that are molded to fit the shape of the bust using heat and pressure, with cotton bare jersey bonded to the skin side of the molded cups.

[0010] In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, the under-bust belt portion 7 provided at the bottom hem of the inner garment 2 is configured by folding the bottom hem of the inner garment 2 back toward the outer garment 1 opposite to the skin side to form a bag portion 8, and an elastic belt 9 is inserted into this bag portion 8. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0011] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3239147 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0012] In the conventional garment having the function of a brassiere, the parts that come into contact with the skin, including the cup portion 3, are made of bare jersey made of cotton.

[0013] However, although bare jersey is a highly elastic material that contains polyurethane, it is a material that contains a chemical fiber called polyurethane, which raises concerns about the harshness it may cause on the skin.

[0014] In addition, the under-bust belt portion 7 provided at the hem of the inner garment 2 of the conventional garment having the functions of a brassiere is configured, as described above, by folding the hem of the inner garment 2 back onto the outer garment 1 side opposite the skin side to form a bag portion 8, and inserting an elastic belt 9 into this bag portion 8. This results in the problem that the fabric at the hem of the inner garment 2 is thick, causing bulk and making it uncomfortable to wear.

[0015] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a garment that has the functions of a brassiere and is more comfortable, with less strain on the skin and less bulk at the bottom of the inner garment 2. [Means for solving the problem]

[0016] In order to solve the above problems, this invention provides a garment with the functions of a brassiere, with an inner garment having cup sections on the inside of the outer garment that retain the shape of the bust and an underbust belt section at the hem that surrounds the wearer's underbust, the outer garment and the inner garment that come into contact with the wearer's skin being made of 100% cotton fabric, and the cup sections of the inner garment are made of a molded cup shaped to fit the shape of the bust, with 100% cotton jersey knit fabric bonded to the skin side with the surface of the fabric facing the skin and the vertical grain of the fabric running vertically and stretched horizontally.

[0017] The under-bust belt portion is also characterized in that it is formed by folding the fabric of the hem of the inner garment to the outside opposite the skin side, and sewing an elastic belt to the outside opposite the skin side of this folded portion so that the lower end of the elastic belt is positioned higher than the lower end of the folded portion.

[0018] Furthermore, the weight of the 100% cotton plain knit fabric bonded to the skin side of the molded cup is 115 to 120 g / m 2 It is preferable that:

[0019] The outer garment is made of a ribbed fabric made of 100% cotton, and the inner garment, excluding the cup portion, is made of a 100% cotton milled fabric. Effect of the Invention

[0020] As described above, the outer and inner garments that come into contact with the wearer's skin are made from 100% cotton fabric, and the cup portion of the inner garment has a molded cup that is shaped to fit the shape of the bust, with 100% cotton jersey knit fabric bonded to the skin side with the surface of the fabric facing the skin and the vertical grain of the fabric running vertically and stretched horizontally.As a result, all parts that come into contact with the wearer's skin are made from 100% cotton fabric, which is gentle on the skin and comfortable to wear even for long periods of time.

[0021] In addition, conventional under-bust belt portions have a structure in which a bag is formed at the hem of the innerwear and an elastic belt is inserted into the bag, which makes them bulky and uncomfortable to wear. However, the under-bust belt portion of this invention is formed by folding the fabric of the hem of the innerwear to the outside, opposite the side that faces the skin, and sewing an elastic belt to the outside, opposite the side that faces the skin, of this folded part so that the bottom end of the elastic belt is positioned higher than the bottom end of the folded part. This makes it comfortable to wear without any bulk, and the elastic belt, which is made of synthetic fiber, does not touch the skin.

[0022] In addition, when forming the cup part by bonding the plain stitch fabric to the molded cup in a state where the surface of the fabric is the skin side and the vertical grain of the fabric is vertical and stretched horizontally, the weight of the plain stitch fabric made of 100% cotton is set to 115 to 120 g / m 2 Because it is thin and has a flat back surface, it is less likely to wrinkle and can be bonded neatly.

[0024] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The garment having the functions of a brassiere according to this invention comprises an outer garment 11 having a front body 11a and a back body 11b sewn together, and an inner garment 12 having a pair of cup portions 13 on the left and right to maintain the shape of the bust, attached inside the outer garment 11.

[0026] As shown in Figs. 3 and 4 in an inside-out state, the inner garment 12 is composed of a pair of left and right cup portions 13, an inner chest cloth portion 14 joined to the upper edges of the cup portions 13, a cup base cloth portion 15 joined to the lower edges of the cup portions 13 and supporting the cup portions 13, left and right side cloth portions 16 joined to the side edges of the cup portions 13, an inner back cloth portion 17 covering the wearer's back and joined to the rear edges of the left and right side cloth portions 16, and an underbust belt portion 18 attached to the hem of the inner garment 12 so as to surround the wearer's underbust region.

[0027] The front body 11a and the back body 11b constituting the outer garment 11 are made of, for example, 100% cotton rib knit with the ribs running vertically.

[0028] The inner chest cloth portion 14, the cup base cloth portion 15, the side cloth portion 16, and the inner back cloth portion 17 constituting the inner garment 12 are all made of 100% cotton milled fabric that stretches laterally.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 5, the cup portion 13 is made of a polyurethane molded cup 13a molded to fit the shape of the bust, and a 100% cotton plain knit fabric 13b is bonded to the skin side of the molded cup 13a, with the surface of the fabric 13b facing the skin and the vertical grain of the fabric 13b running vertically and stretched horizontally.

[0030] The plain knit fabric 13b has a basis weight of 115 to 120 g / m 2 The back side (the side opposite the skin) of the material is flat and thin, and is used with the grain vertical. During bonding, it is stretched firmly horizontally to prevent wrinkles from forming.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 6, the under-bust belt portion 18 is formed by folding the fabric of the bottom hem of the inner garment 12 to the outside opposite the skin side, and sewing an elastic belt 19 to the outside opposite the skin side of this folded portion so that the lower end of the elastic belt 19 is positioned higher than the lower end of the folded portion.

[0032] The underbust belt portion 18 is sewn in the following procedure. First, as shown in Fig. 7, the upper edge of the rubber belt 19 is overlapped on the surface (opposite side from the skin side) of the bottom of the inner garment 12, and the overlapped bottom of the inner garment 12 and the upper edge of the rubber belt 19 are sewn together by a lock stitch. Then, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 7, the fabric of the bottom of the inner garment 12 is folded back on the surface opposite to the skin side, and the bottom end of the rubber belt 19 is positioned above the bottom end of the folded back part on the surface opposite to the skin side, and the top edge of the folded back rubber belt 19 is sewn together with the fabric of the inner garment 12 by a double flat stitch, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9. The underbust belt portion 18 sewn in this way has two parallel seams on the skin side of the bottom of the inner garment 12, as shown in Fig. 9.

[0033] With the rubber belt 19 sewn together, the lower edge of the folded-back portion of the inner garment 12 remains 2mm to 5mm below the lower edge of the rubber belt 19 so that the lower edge of the rubber belt 19 does not protrude from the folded-back portion of the inner garment 12 and the rubber belt 19 does not come into contact with the wearer's skin.

[0034] The width of the rubber belt 19 is, for example, 15 mm.

[0035] This invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can of course be embodied in various forms, for example, a slip, a camisole, a T-shirt, and the like, without departing from the spirit of the invention. The scope of the invention is indicated by the scope of the utility model registration claims, and further includes the equivalent meaning set forth in the scope of the utility model registration claims, and all modifications within the scope.
