Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a garment that covers the chest. [Background technology]

[0002] When performing movements such as jumping or running, the breasts often shake significantly even when wearing a bra. In particular, during vigorous movements such as sports, the shaking becomes very large, causing not only discomfort but also sagging of the breasts. For this reason, various brassieres that reduce such shaking have been developed in the past. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a brassiere that can suppress up-and-down, left-right, and front-and-back movement of the breasts during exercise by stacking a reinforcing part on the main part in an area above the bust top position of two cups arranged horizontally and extending over a length of at least half the circumference of the brassiere. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2016-186142 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, since Patent Document 1 has a structure in which a reinforcing part is provided above the bust top position, it is believed that while it can provide a good effect in reducing breast swaying when the cup size is large, it is believed that the effect in reducing breast swaying is reduced when the cup size is small or depending on the shape of the breast, as the amount of upward movement during exercise is small.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide clothing for covering the chest that can effectively reduce breast swaying regardless of the size or shape of the breasts. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the garment for covering the chest according to the present invention comprises: A front part that covers the chest, A back portion connected to the side end of the front portion from the back side; A pair of left and right shoulder strap parts connected to an upper end of the front part and connected to an upper end of the back part on the back side beyond the ridge of the shoulder; A main body having a A first fixing part is located on the outer surface side of the main body part, covers the left breast from the side and the upper side of the left breast, and extends to the right side; A second fixing part is located on the outer surface side of the main body part, covers the right breast from the side and the upper side of the right breast, and extends to the left side; Equipped with.

[0007] In one embodiment, the first fixing portion is connected to at least the left armpit portion of the main body portion and the front end of the left shoulder strap portion, and the second fixing portion is connected to at least the right armpit portion of the main body portion and the front end of the right shoulder strap portion.

[0008] In one aspect, the first fixing part is connected to the main body part at a position at least on the armpit side of the right breast or further back, and the second fixing part is connected to the main body part at a position at least on the armpit side of the left breast or further back.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first fixed portion has a first adjuster portion for adjusting a length of the first fixed portion, and the second fixed portion has a second adjuster portion for adjusting a length of the second fixed portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a garment for covering the chest according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, directions such as up, down, left, and right will be described based on a state in which a wearer is wearing a garment that covers the chest, unless otherwise specified. Also, directions such as right and left will be described based on the direction as seen from the wearer's perspective. In one embodiment of the present invention, the code for the right part as seen from the wearer's perspective ends with R, and the code for the left part as seen from the wearer's perspective ends with L, but when describing a pair of left and right parts, L or R may not be added.

[0015] 1 to 6 are diagrams showing an example of a garment for covering the chest according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this example, the garment for covering the chest is a brassiere. The garment for covering the chest may be any garment that fits closely to the skin of the chest, and may be applied to swimsuits, leotards, body suits, tops with cups, and the like in addition to brassieres. Furthermore, the brassiere 1 is capable of reducing the shaking of the breasts that accompanies vigorous movements in sports and the like, and is suitable as a sports brassiere, but may be worn not only during sports but also in daily life.

[0016] Fig. 1 is a front view of a brassiere 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2(a) is a back view of the brassiere 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Note that the structure of the front side of the brassiere 1 as seen from the back side is omitted. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2(a), the brassiere 1 comprises a main body portion 2, a first fixed portion 7, and a second fixed portion 8.

[0017] (Main body 2) The main body 2 has a front portion 3, a back portion 4, a pair of left and right shoulder strap portions 5 (a right shoulder strap portion 5R and a left shoulder strap portion 5L), and a bottom rubber portion 6.

[0018] The front part 3 is disposed in front of the wearer's upper body and covers the chest including both breasts. The front part 3 is connected at its upper end to the shoulder strap part 5, at its lower end to the bottom rubber part 6, and at its left and right side ends to the back part 4.

[0019] The back part 4 is disposed on the back of the wearer's upper body. The back part 4 is connected to the side ends of the front part 3 from the back side. The back part 4 is connected to the shoulder strap parts 5 at the upper end, to the lower side rubber part 6 at the lower end, and to the front part 3 at the left and right side ends. In this embodiment, the back part 4 extends to the front of the left and right sides of the wearer and is connected to the front part 3 at the front of the left and right sides. The back part 4 is composed of a right side support part 4R connected to the front part 3 at the right side, a left side support part 4L connected to the front part 3 at the left side, and a back support part 4A connected to the right side support part 4R and the left side support part 4L.

[0020] The right shoulder strap portion 5R is disposed across the ridge of the wearer's right shoulder from front to back. The right shoulder strap portion 5R is connected to the upper end of the front portion 3, crosses the ridge of the shoulder, and is connected to the upper end of the back portion 4 on the dorsal side.

[0021] The left shoulder strap portion 5L is disposed across the ridge of the wearer's left shoulder from front to back. The left shoulder strap portion 5L is connected to the upper end of the front portion 3, crosses the ridge of the shoulder, and is connected to the upper end of the back portion 4 on the back side.

[0022] The lower rubber portion 6 is disposed in the circumferential direction on the wearer's torso. The lower rubber portion 6 is connected to the lower end of the front portion 3 and the lower end of the back portion 4.

[0023] A right armhole 21R is formed at the armholes of the front part 3, the back part 4, and the right shoulder strap part 5R. A left armhole 21L is formed at the armholes of the front part 3, the back part 4, and the left shoulder strap part 5L. A neckhole 22 is formed at the neckholes of the front part 3, the back part 4, the right shoulder strap part 5R, and the left shoulder strap part 5L. A notch 23 is formed in a part of the lower end of the back part 4. The right armhole 21R, the left armhole 21L, the neckhole 22, and the notch 23 are each formed of a tape member and enclose the ends of the front part 3, the back part 4, the right shoulder strap part 5R, and the left shoulder strap part 5L.

[0024] The front section 3, the back section 4, the right shoulder strap section 5R, the left shoulder strap section 5L, and the lower side rubber section 6 are sewn together at their respective connection sections. In the back section 4, the right armpit support section 4R and the back support section 4A, and the left armpit support section 4L and the back support section 4A are sewn together at their respective connection sections.

[0025] (Front section 3) The front part 3 is formed at a position covering the chest including the left and right breasts of the wearer. Specifically, the lower end of the front part 3 is formed at a position corresponding to the lower rise of the breast or a position slightly lower than that (for example, within 2 cm). The upper end of the front part 3 is formed at a position corresponding to the upper rise of the breast or a position higher than that. The left and right ends (side ends) of the front part 3 are formed at positions corresponding to the side rise of the breast. The rise of the breast is the outline of the breast (the bulging part of the chest), and is the outline when nude, or when the breast is lifted upward or moved toward the center front. The upper end of the front part 3 is formed at a position below the ridge of the shoulder (for example, near the horizontal line passing through the position corresponding to the collarbone), and is connected to a pair of left and right shoulder strap parts 5.

[0026] The front part 3 is composed of an outer cloth and an inner cloth. The outer cloth of the front part 3 is formed from a single piece of fabric. For example, the outer cloth of the front part 3 is made of a material that stretches and fits the skin (for example, a mixture of nylon and polyurethane) so that it can be adapted to a wide range of wearer sizes. Figure 3 is a view of the right half of the front part 3 from the back, showing the surface (inner surface) that touches the wearer's skin. The inner cloth of the front part 3 is made from multiple pieces of fabric as shown in Figure 3. The left half has the same structure as the right half.

[0027] The front part 3 has a pair of cup parts 31 (right cup part 31R, left cup part 31L (not shown)) on the inner side. The cup parts 31 three-dimensionally cover the left and right breasts when worn, and have a bell shape when viewed from the side and from above. The cup parts 31 have a shape whose lower edge follows the verge line. The cup parts 31 have shape retention properties, and by accommodating the wearer's breasts, they improve the silhouette of the breasts. The cup parts 31 are preferably formed so as to lift the verge line of the breasts upward. By lifting the breasts with the cup parts 31, the nipple position becomes higher when the wearer is still. When exercising from this state, the breast is swayed upward by a smaller amount than when the cup parts 31 follow the verge line when nude, and the swaying of the breasts is reduced. The cup parts 31 are formed, for example, by molding urethane or the like. Note that the cup parts 31 are not limited to this, and may be formed into a bell shape by sewing together a fabric with high shape retention properties, for example. Alternatively, the cup portion 31 may be in a form in which a pad is inserted. The cup portion 31 may be a non-wire type in which no wire is attached to the verge line, or a wire type in which a wire is attached. The edge of the cup portion 31 is sewn to the edge of another cloth constituting the lining of the front portion 3. For example, the other cloth constituting the lining of the front portion 3 is made of a material (e.g., a mixture of nylon and polyurethane) that stretches and fits the skin so that it can be applied to a wide range of sizes of wearers. Note that FIG. 3 shows an example of the back side of the front portion 3, and is not limited to this, and can be freely configured.

[0028] (Back section 4) The back section 4 is formed on the outside of the rise of the left and right breasts around the wearer's torso. The lower end of the back section 4 is formed at a position horizontal to the lower end of the front section 3 around the wearer's torso. The upper end of the back section 4 is formed at a position below the ridge of the shoulders and is connected to a pair of left and right shoulder strap sections 5. The left and right ends (side edges) of the back section 4 are formed at positions corresponding to the rise of the sides of the breasts.

[0029] The back portion 4 is integrated with the front portion 3 to fit and wrap around the wearer's torso, preventing the brassiere 1, and particularly the front portion 3, from slipping.

[0030] The back section 4 is composed of a right armpit support section 4R, a left armpit support section 4L, and a back support section 4A. The front section 3 and the right armpit support section 4R are connected at a connection section 51. The right armpit support section 4R and the back support section 4A are connected at a connection section 52. The back support section 4A and the left armpit support section 4L are connected at a connection section 53. The left armpit support section 4L and the front section 3 are connected at a connection section 54. The connection sections 51 and 54 are disposed at positions corresponding to the rise of the armpit side of the breast (the front end of the armpit section). The connection sections 52 and 53 are disposed at the back end of the armpit section.

[0031] The right side support part 4R and the left side support part 4L may be made of an outer cloth and an inner cloth, or may be made of a single layer of cloth. The cloth for the right side support part 4R and the left side support part 4L may be made of a wide material with strong kickback (for example, a mixture of nylon and polyurethane) to prevent the breast from sliding sideways.

[0032] The back support part 4A may be made of a front cloth and a back cloth, or may be made of a single layer of cloth. For example, the cloth of the back support part 4A is made of a mesh material (such as a power net) to improve breathability.

[0033] (Shoulder strap part 5) The shoulder straps 5 straddle the ridges of the shoulders from front to back and connect to the front section 3 and the back section 4. This allows the shoulder straps 5 to prevent the brassiere 1, particularly the front section 3, from slipping.

[0034] The front end of the shoulder strap portion 5 is formed at the same position as the upper end of the front portion 3. The right shoulder strap portion 5R and the front portion 3 are connected at a connection portion 55. The left shoulder strap portion 5L and the front portion 3 are connected at a connection portion 56. The rear end of the shoulder strap portion 5 is formed at the same position as the upper end of the back portion 4. The right shoulder strap portion 5R and the back support portion 4A of the back portion 4 are connected at a connection portion 57. The left shoulder strap portion 5L and the back support portion 4A of the back portion 4 are connected at a connection portion 58.

[0035] The shoulder strap portion 5 may be made of an outer fabric and an inner fabric, or may be made of a single layer of fabric. The fabric of the shoulder strap portion 5 is made of a material that stretches and fits the skin (for example, a mixture of nylon and polyurethane) so that it can be used for a wide range of wearer sizes.

[0036] (Bottom rubber part 6) The lower rubber part 6 is wound around the wearer's torso with strong force to prevent the brassiere 1 from slipping. The lower rubber part 6 is formed of, for example, a long tape-like member such as rubber. The lower rubber part 6 is provided with a length adjustment mechanism 61 at its end. The length adjustment mechanism 61 is, for example, a hook, and as shown in FIG. 2(b), loops are provided at multiple length positions on the front side of the left end 61L, and a locking part is provided on the skin side of the right end 61R, and the left and right ends of the lower rubber part 6 are detachably connected by hooking the locking part onto the loop at any length position. The length adjustment mechanism 61 is not limited to this, and may be, for example, a pin, a snap, a hook-and-loop fastener, a string, a button and a buttonhole, etc. By providing the length adjustment mechanism 61, it is possible to adjust the circumference of the lower rubber part 6 according to the size of the wearer's torso circumference. In addition, the brassiere 1 can be easily put on and taken off by putting on and taking off the brassiere 1 without connecting the left and right ends to each other. Furthermore, by putting on and taking off the brassiere 1 without connecting the left and right ends, it is possible to prevent the bottom rubber part 6 from stretching when putting on and taking off the brassiere 1, thereby preventing deterioration and maintaining the effect of the bottom rubber part 6 in preventing the brassiere 1 from slipping for a long period of time.

[0037] Since a notch 23 is formed in a part of the lower end of the back portion 4, adjustment can be performed by the length adjustment mechanism 61 without twisting the fabric of the back portion 4.

[0038] The bottom rubber part 6 may have an engagement part without a length adjustment function instead of the length adjustment mechanism 61. Alternatively, the bottom rubber part 6 may not have an engagement part and may be a one-piece tape-like member without ends. Also, the brassiere 1 does not have to have the bottom rubber part 6.

[0039] (1st fixed part 7) The first fixing part 7 is located on the outer surface side of the main body part 2, covers the left breast from the armpit and upper side thereof, and extends to the right armpit.

[0040] The first fixing part 7 is connected to the left armpit of the main body part 2. Specifically, the left armpit end of the first fixing part 7 is connected to the main body part 2 at a connection part 54 where the front part 3 and the left armpit support part 4L of the back part 4 are connected. The first fixing part 7 is connected to the front end of the left shoulder strap part 5L. Specifically, the upper end of the first fixing part 7 is connected to the front end of the left shoulder strap part 5L at a connection part 56 where the front part 3 and the left shoulder strap part 5L are connected. The first fixing part 7 is connected to the main body part 2 at a position on the armpit side of the right breast or on the back side of the right breast. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 2, the right armpit end of the first fixing part 7 is connected to the main body part 2 at a connection part 52 where the right armpit support part 4R and the back support part 4A are connected. The first fixing part 7 may or may not be connected to the end of the left armhole part 21L formed in the armhole of the front part 3. When not connected, the first fixing part 7 is free at the left armhole 21L when worn, reducing the feeling of pressure that may occur when the breast is large. These connections are, for example, by sewing. Ends of the first fixing part 7 other than the left armhole end, upper end, and right armhole end (and the left armhole end) are not connected to the main body part 2 and are free. The lower end of the first fixing part 7 is located near the lower end of the front part 3.

[0041] Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating the first fixed part 7. As shown in Fig. 4, the first fixed part 7 has a fixed main body part 7A and an adjuster part (first adjuster part) 7B. The adjuster part 7B is a member for adjusting the length of the first fixed part 7. The length of the first fixed part 7 is, for example, the length from the upper end to the right armpit end. The fixed main body part 7A is located on the armpit and upper side of the left breast, and the adjuster part 7B is located on the right armpit side.

[0042] The fixed main body portion 7A is formed of a wide member and covers the left breast. The fixed main body portion 7A may be composed of an outer cloth and an inner cloth, or may be composed of a single layer of cloth. For example, the cloth of the fixed main body portion 7A is made of a material (such as a mixture of nylon and polyurethane) that stretches and fits the skin so that it can be applied to a wide range of wearer sizes.

[0043] The adjuster part 7B is formed of a long tape-like member such as rubber. The adjuster part 7B is preferably located to the right of the center of the main body part 2. This allows the length to be adjusted near the right armpit while the fixed main body part 7A firmly fixes the left breast. The adjuster part 7B may cover a part of the breast.

[0044] 5 is a diagram for explaining the adjuster portion 7B of the first fixed portion 7, and is an enlarged view of the first fixed portion 7 seen from the back side. As shown in FIG. 5, a ring member 71 is provided between the fixed main body portion 7A and the adjuster portion 7B, and an adjustment member 72 is provided between both ends of the adjuster portion 7B. The wearer can adjust the length of the adjuster portion 7B by adjusting the position of the adjustment member 72 in the adjuster portion 7B, and thus the length of the first fixed portion 7 can be adjusted.

[0045] FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the adjuster part 7B of the first fixing part 7, and is an enlarged view of the part surrounded by the dotted line in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 6, a long tape member 73 is provided from the upper end to the lower end on the right side support part 4R of the back part 4. The tape member 73 is composed of a sewn part 73A whose each end is sewn to the right side support part 4R, and a free part 73B whose lower end and upper end are only sewn to the right side support part 4R and whose left and right ends are free. The adjuster part 7B is disposed penetrating the free part 73B. The presence of the tape member 73 reduces the amount of displacement of the adjuster part 7B in the vertical direction when worn, so that the fixing function of the first fixing part 7 can be prevented from being deteriorated. The free part 73B is sized to allow the adjustment member 72 to pass through, and the adjustment member 72 can be moved to a position according to the size of the wearer when worn (for example, to the front side or back side of the free part 73B).

[0046] The first fixing part 7 presses the left breast from the upper left to the lower right and fixes the left breast from the upper left to the lower right, so that the shaking of the left breast can be effectively reduced regardless of the size and shape of the left breast. In addition, the feeling of pressure on the upper left breast, which can occur especially in a brassiere that pulls the breast up when the breast is large, is reduced. In addition, by having the adjuster part 7B, the length of the first fixing part 7 can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the wearer's left breast, and the fixing strength can be adjusted, so that the shaking of the left breast can be suitably reduced according to the size and shape of the wearer's left breast. In addition, the inhibition of respiratory function and the discomfort of wearing that occur when the fixing strength is too strong can be reduced. In addition, the length of the first fixing part 7 can be adjusted according to the exercise intensity, and the fixing strength can be adjusted, so that the shaking of the left breast can be suitably reduced according to the exercise intensity.

[0047] Since the adjuster portion 7B is located on the outer surface side of the brassiere 1, the wearer can easily adjust the fastening strength even while wearing the brassiere 1.

[0048] (Second fixed part 8) The second fixing part 8 is located on the outer surface side of the main body part 2, covers the right breast from the armpit and upper side, and extends to the left armpit.

[0049] The second fixing part 8 is connected to the right armpit of the main body part 2. Specifically, the right armpit end of the second fixing part 8 is connected to the main body part 2 at a connection part 51 where the front part 3 and the right armpit support part 4R of the back part 4 are connected. The second fixing part 8 is connected to the front end of the right shoulder strap part 5R. Specifically, the upper end of the second fixing part 8 is connected to the front end of the right shoulder strap part 5R at a connection part 55 where the front part 3 and the right shoulder strap part 5R are connected. The second fixing part 8 is connected to the main body part 2 at a position on the armpit side of the left breast or on the back side of the left breast. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 2, the left armpit end of the second fixing part 8 is connected to the main body part 2 at a connection part 53 where the left armpit support part 4L and the back support part 4A are connected. The second fixing part 8 may or may not be connected to the end of the right armhole part 21R formed in the armhole of the front part 3. When not connected, the second fixing part 8 is free at the right armhole 21R when worn, reducing the feeling of pressure that may occur when the breast is large. These connections are, for example, by sewing. Ends of the second fixing part 8 other than the right armhole end, upper end, and left armhole end (and the right armhole end) are not connected to the main body part 2 and are free. The lower end of the first fixing part 7 is located near the lower end of the front part 3.

[0050] The first fixing portion 7 and the second fixing portion 8 are partially overlapped but are not connected and are separated. In the present embodiment, the second fixing portion 8 is on the outermost surface, but this is not limited thereto, and either the first fixing portion 7 or the second fixing portion 8 may be on the outermost surface.

[0051] The second fixing part 8 has a fixing main body part 8A (not shown) and an adjuster part (second adjuster part) 8B (not shown) like the first fixing part 7 shown in Fig. 4. The adjuster part 8B is a member for adjusting the length of the second fixing part 8. The length of the second fixing part 8 is, for example, the length from the upper end to the left armpit end. The fixing main body part 8A is located on the armpit and upper side of the right breast, and the adjuster part 8B is located on the left armpit side.

[0052] The fixed main body part 8A is formed of a wide member and covers the right breast. The fixed main body part 8A may be composed of an outer cloth and an inner cloth, or may be composed of a single layer of cloth. For example, the cloth of the fixed main body part 8A is made of a material (such as a mixture of nylon and polyurethane) that stretches and fits the skin so that it can be applied to a wide range of wearer sizes.

[0053] The adjuster part 8B is formed of, for example, a long tape-like member such as rubber. The adjuster part 8B is preferably located to the left of the center of the main body part 2. This allows the length to be adjusted near the left armpit while the right breast is firmly fixed by the fixed main body part 8A. The adjuster part 8B may cover a part of the breast.

[0054] 5, a ring member 81 (not shown) is provided between the fixed main body part 8A and the adjuster part 8B, and an adjustment member 82 is provided between both ends of the adjuster part 8B. By adjusting the position of the adjustment member 82 in the adjuster part 8B by the wearer, the length of the adjuster part 8B can be adjusted, and thus the length of the second fixed part 8 can be adjusted.

[0055] Similar to the first fixing portion 7 shown in FIG. 6, the second fixing portion 8 is also provided with a long tape member 83 (not shown).

[0056] The second fixing part 8 presses the right breast from the lower right to the upper left and fixes the right breast from the lower right to the upper left, thereby effectively reducing the shaking of the right breast regardless of the size and shape of the right breast. In addition, the feeling of pressure on the upper part of the right breast, which may occur especially in a brassiere that pulls the breast up when the breast is large, is reduced. In addition, by having the adjuster part 7B, the length of the second fixing part 8 can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the wearer's right breast, and the fixing strength can be adjusted, so that the shaking of the right breast can be suitably reduced according to the size and shape of the wearer's right breast. In addition, the inhibition of respiratory function and the discomfort of wearing that occur when the fixing strength is too strong can be reduced. In addition, the length of the second fixing part 8 can be adjusted according to the exercise intensity, and the fixing strength can be adjusted, so that the shaking of the right breast can be suitably reduced according to the exercise intensity.

[0057] Since the adjuster portion 8B is located on the outer surface side of the brassiere 1, the wearer can easily adjust the fastening strength while wearing the brassiere 1.

[0058] Furthermore, since the lengths of the first fixing portion 7 and the second fixing portion 8 can be adjusted separately, even if the left and right breasts are different in size or shape, the fixing strength can be adjusted appropriately to suit the size and shape of each breast.

[0059] By loosening adjuster parts 7B and 8B when putting on and taking off brassiere 1, it is easy to put on and take off brassiere 1. Also, by loosening adjuster parts 7B and 8B when putting on and taking off brassiere 1, it is possible to prevent first fixing part 7 and second fixing part 8 from stretching when putting on and taking off brassiere 1, which prevents deterioration and allows first fixing part 7 and second fixing part 8 to maintain the effect of reducing breast swaying for a long time.

[0060] <Variation 1> Fig. 7 shows a modified example of a garment (brassiere 1) for covering the chest according to an embodiment of the present invention. Note that in (b), the structure of the front side of the brassiere 1 as seen from the back side is omitted. As shown in Fig. 7, the brassiere 1 comprises a main body part 2, a first fixing part 7, and a second fixing part 8.

[0061] The main body 2 of the first modified example has a front section 3, a back section 4, and a pair of left and right shoulder strap sections 5 (right shoulder strap section 5R, left shoulder strap section 5L). A right armhole section 21R is formed at the armholes of the front section 3, the back section 4, and the right shoulder strap section 5R. A left armhole section 21L is formed at the armholes of the front section 3, the back section 4, and the left shoulder strap section 5L. A neckline section 22 is formed at the necklines of the front section 3, the back section 4, the right shoulder strap section 5R, and the left shoulder strap section 5L. The front section 3, the back section 4, the right shoulder strap section 5R, and the left shoulder strap section 5L are sewn together at each connection section, except for a connection section 57 and a connection section 58, which will be described later.

[0062] Although the front section 3 of this modified example 1 has a slightly different shape from the front section 3 of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the basic configuration is similar to that of the front section 3 of this embodiment shown in FIG.

[0063] The back part 4 of this modification 1 is composed of a right back part 104R and a left back part 104L. The front part 3 and the right back part 104R are connected at a connection part 51. The left back part 104L and the front part 3 are connected at a connection part 54. The connection parts 51 and 54 are disposed at positions corresponding to the rising of the armpit side of the breast (front end of the armpit part). The right back part 104R and the left back part 104L are provided with a length adjustment mechanism 41 at their ends. The length adjustment mechanism 41 is, for example, the same as the length adjustment mechanism 61, and is detachably connected near the center of the back. The right back part 104R and the left back part 104L may be composed of an outer cloth and an inner cloth, or may be composed of a single cloth. For example, the cloth of the right back part 104R and the left back part 104L is made of a material (for example, a mixed material of nylon and polyurethane) that stretches and fits the skin so that it can be applied to a wide range of sizes of wearers.

[0064] The shoulder strap portion 5 of this modified example 1 is formed of a long tape-like member such as rubber having length adjustment mechanisms 105R and 105L. The right shoulder strap portion 5R and the front portion 3 are connected at a connection portion 55. The left shoulder strap portion 5L and the front portion 3 are connected at a connection portion 56. The right shoulder strap portion 5R and the right back portion 104R of the back portion 4 are connected via a ring member at a connection portion 57. The left shoulder strap portion 5L and the left back portion 104L of the back portion 4 are connected via a ring member at a connection portion 58. The length of the shoulder strap portion 5 can be adjusted by the length adjustment mechanisms 105R and 105L.

[0065] The first fixing part 7 of this modified example 1 is located on the outer surface side of the main body part 2, and extends from the armpit and upper side of the left breast to the right armpit, covering the left breast. The first fixing part 7 is connected to the left armpit of the main body part 2. Specifically, the left armpit end of the first fixing part 7 is connected to the main body part 2 at the connection part 54 where the front part 3 and the left back part 104L are connected. The first fixing part 7 is connected to the front end of the left shoulder strap part 5L. Specifically, the upper end of the first fixing part 7 is connected to the front end of the left shoulder strap part 5L at the connection part 56 where the front part 3 and the left shoulder strap part 5L are connected. The first fixing part 7 is connected to the main body part 2 at a position on the armpit side of the right breast or on the back side of the right breast. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 7, the right armpit end of the first fixing part 7 is connected to the main body part 2 at the connection part 51 where the front part 3 and the right back part 104R are connected. The first fixing part 7 may or may not be connected to the end of the left armhole 21L formed in the armhole of the front part 3. These connections are, for example, by sewing. Ends of the first fixing part 7 other than the left side edge, upper edge, and right side edge (and the left armhole edge) are not connected to the main body part 2 and are free. The first fixing part 7 of this modified example 1 does not have an adjuster part. The cloth of the first fixing part 7 is made of a material that is highly stretchable and elastic, such as power net.

[0066] The second fixing part 8 of this modified example 1 is located on the outer surface side of the main body part 2, and extends from the armpit and upper side of the right breast to the left armpit, covering the right breast. The second fixing part 8 is connected to the right armpit of the main body part 2. Specifically, the right armpit end of the second fixing part 8 is connected to the main body part 2 at the connection part 51 where the front part 3 and the right back part 104R are connected. The second fixing part 8 is connected to the front end of the right shoulder strap part 5R. Specifically, the upper end of the second fixing part 8 is connected to the front end of the right shoulder strap part 5R at the connection part 55 where the front part 3 and the right shoulder strap part 5R are connected. The second fixing part 8 is connected to the main body part 2 at a position on the armpit side of the left breast or on the back side of the left breast. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 7, the left armpit end of the second fixing part 8 is connected to the main body part 2 at the connection part 54 where the front part 3 and the left back part 104L are connected. The second fixing part 8 may or may not be connected to the end of the right armhole 21R formed in the armhole of the front part 3. These connections are, for example, by sewing. Ends of the second fixing part 8 other than the right side edge, upper edge, and left side edge (and the right armhole edge) are not connected to the main body part 2 and are free. The second fixing part 8 of this modified example 1 does not have an adjuster part. The fabric of the second fixing part 8 is made of a material that is highly stretchable and elastic, such as power net.

[0067] In this modified example 1, the first fixed part 7 and the second fixed part 8 do not have a length adjustment mechanism, and therefore the first fixed part 7 and the second fixed part 8 are flat. Therefore, when worn over other clothing, the structure does not stand out, which has the advantage of providing a good appearance.

[0068] <Other Modifications> The adjuster part 7B is not limited to the above and may be anything that can adjust the length of the first fixing part 7, such as a pin, a snap, a hook and loop fastener, a string, a button and a buttonhole, a hook, etc. The same applies to the adjuster part 8B.

[0069] The first fixing part 7 may be detachably connected to the main body part 2. In this case, the first fixing part 7 is detachably connected to the main body part 2 by, for example, a pin, a snap, a hook and loop fastener, a string, a button and a buttonhole, a hook, etc. The same applies to the second fixing part 8.

[0070] The shape of the back part 4 is not limited to the above and may be any desired shape. As an example, as shown in Fig. 8(a), the back support part may be formed from two separate crossed pieces of cloth. As another example, as shown in Fig. 8(b), the back part 4 may be formed from a pair of left and right members and formed to be detachable near the center of the back.

[0071] The positions of the right end of the first fixing part 7 and the left end of the second fixing part 8 are not limited, but it is preferable that the right end of the first fixing part 7 is located to the right of the center of the back, and the left end of the second fixing part 8 is located to the left of the center of the back. In this case, the right end of the first fixing part 7 and the left end of the second fixing part 8 do not overlap, making it easy to adjust the length. It is more preferable that the right end of the first fixing part 7 and the left end of the second fixing part 8 are located on the front side of the rear end of the armpit. In this case, the wearer can easily adjust the fixing strength while wearing the brassiere 1.

[0072] The fabric of each member is not limited to the above, and can be appropriately selected according to the purpose, etc. For example, the example in which the back part 4 is made of mesh material has been shown, but in order to improve protection against the cold, it can also be made of a thick material with high cold protection. Or, when used as a swimsuit, it can be made of a material with high water repellency.

[0073] Although the example in which the components are sewn together has been shown as a method for connecting the components, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the fabrics may be connected together using an adhesive.

[0074] Two or more of the front part 3, the back part 4, the right shoulder strap part 5R and the left shoulder strap part 5L may be integrally formed with a single piece of fabric. Alternatively, the front part 3, the back part 4, the right shoulder strap part 5R and the left shoulder strap part 5L may each be formed with a plurality of separate pieces of fabric. The specific structure of how each piece of fabric is provided is different from the front part, the back part, the right shoulder strap part and the left shoulder strap part which are components of the main body part in the present invention. The front part, the back part, the right shoulder strap part and the left shoulder strap part are determined based on the positional relationship of which part of the wearer's upper body they cover. Similarly, the first fixing part and the second fixing part may be integrally formed with the components of the main body part with a single piece of fabric. Alternatively, the first fixing part and the second fixing part may each be formed with a plurality of separate pieces of fabric.

[0075] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims. Embodiments obtained by appropriately combining the technical means disclosed herein are also included in the technical scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
