Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] Even when wearing a bra, breasts often sway significantly during activities such as jumping or running. This swaying can be particularly severe during vigorous activities such as sports, causing discomfort and even breast sagging. For this reason, various bras have been developed to reduce this swaying. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a bra that reduces up-and-down, left-and-right, and front-and-back movement of the breasts during exercise by layering a reinforcing section on the main body in an area above the bust tops of the two horizontally aligned cups and spanning at least half the circumference of the bra. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-186142 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, since Patent Document 1 has a structure in which the reinforcing part is located above the bust top position, it is thought that when the cup size is large, it will be able to effectively reduce breast swaying, but when the cup size is small or depending on the shape of the breasts, the amount of upward movement during exercise is small, so it is thought that the effect of reducing breast swaying will be smaller.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a garment 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: The front part 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 straps connected to an upper end of the front part and extending beyond the ridge of the shoulders to an upper end of the back part on the back side; a main body portion having a first fixing part located on the outer surface of the main body part, covering the left breast from the armpit and underside and extending to the right shoulder strap part; a second fixing part located on the outer surface of the main body part, covering the right breast from the side and underside of the right breast and extending to the left shoulder strap part; Equipped with.

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

[0008] In one aspect, the first fixing portion is connected to at least the left armpit portion of the main body portion and the lower end of the front portion, and the second fixing portion is connected to at least the right armpit portion of the main body portion and the lower end of the front portion.

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

[0010] In one embodiment, the first adjuster portion is located to the right of the center of the main body portion, and the second adjuster portion is located to the left of the center of the main body portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the present invention, it is possible to effectively reduce the shaking of the breast regardless of the size or shape of the breast. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

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

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, directions such as up, down, left, and right will be described based on the 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 symbol for the right part as seen from the wearer's perspective is suffixed with R, and the symbol for the left part is suffixed with L, but when describing a pair of left and right parts, the L or R may not be added.

[0015] 1 to 5 are diagrams showing an example of a garment for covering the chest according to one 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 snugly against the skin of the chest, and may be applied to not only brassieres but also swimsuits, leotards, bodysuits, tops with cups, and the like. Furthermore, brassiere 1 is suitable as a sports brassiere because it can reduce the shaking of the breasts that occurs during vigorous movements such as sports, but it may also be worn in everyday life as well as during sports.

[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, which can be seen from the back side, is not shown. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2(a), the brassiere 1 comprises a main body part 2, a first fixing part 7, and a second fixing part 8.

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

[0018] The front part 3 is placed 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 parts 5, at its lower end to the bottom elastic part 6, and at its left and right side edges to the back part 4.

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

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

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

[0022] The lower rubber part 6 is disposed circumferentially around the wearer's torso and is connected to the lower end of the front part 3 and the lower end of the back part 4.

[0023] A right armhole 21R is formed in the armholes of the front section 3, back section 4, and right shoulder strap section 5R. A left armhole 21L is formed in the armholes of the front section 3, back section 4, and left shoulder strap section 5L. A neckhole 22 is formed in the neckholes of the front section 3, back section 4, right shoulder strap section 5R, and left shoulder strap section 5L. A cutout 23 is formed in part of the lower end of the back section 4. The right armhole 21R, left armhole 21L, neckhole 22, and cutout 23 are each formed from tape members and wrap around the ends of the front section 3, back section 4, right shoulder strap section 5R, and left shoulder strap section 5L.

[0024] The front section 3, back section 4, right shoulder strap section 5R, left shoulder strap section 5L, and bottom rubber section 6 are sewn together at their respective connection points. 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 points.

[0025] (Front section 3) The front section 3 is formed in a position that covers the wearer's chest, including both breasts. Specifically, the lower end of the front section 3 is formed at a position corresponding to the rise of the lower breast or slightly lower (for example, within 2 cm). The upper end of the front section 3 is formed at a position corresponding to the rise of the upper breast or higher. The left and right ends (side edges) of the front section 3 are formed at positions corresponding to the rise of the side of the breast. The rise of the breast refers to the outline of the breast (the fullness of the chest), and is the outline when the breast is nude, lifted up, or pulled toward the center of the front. The upper end of the front section 3 is formed below the ridge of the shoulders (for example, near a horizontal line passing through the position corresponding to the collarbone), and is connected to a pair of left and right shoulder strap sections 5.

[0026] The front part 3 is composed of an outer fabric and a lining fabric. The outer fabric of the front part 3 is formed from a single piece of fabric. For example, the outer fabric of the front part 3 is made of a material that stretches and fits the skin (for example, a nylon and polyurethane blend) 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 that comes into contact with the wearer's skin (the inner surface). The lining 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 section 3 has a pair of left and right cup sections 31 (a right cup section 31R and a left cup section 31L (not shown)) on the inner side. When worn, the cup sections 31 three-dimensionally cover the left and right breasts, respectively, and are bell-shaped in side and top views. The lower edge of the cup sections 31 is shaped to follow the verge line. The cup sections 31 have shape-retaining properties and accommodate the wearer's breasts, thereby shaping the breast silhouette. The cup sections 31 are preferably shaped to lift the verge line of the breasts upward. By lifting the breasts with the cup sections 31, the nipple position is raised when the wearer is stationary. When exercising in this state, the breasts sway upward less than when the cup sections 31 follow the verge line when nude, and breast swaying is reduced. The cup sections 31 are formed, for example, by molding urethane or the like. However, the cup sections 31 are not limited to this and may be formed into a bell shape by sewing together a fabric with high shape retention. Alternatively, the cup portion 31 may be of a type into which a pad is inserted. The cup portion 31 may be a non-wire type in which no wire is attached to the vestibule line, or a wire type in which a wire is attached. The edges of the cup portion 31 are sewn to the edges of another fabric that constitutes the lining of the front portion 3. The other fabric that constitutes the lining of the front portion 3 may be 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. Note that Figure 3 shows an example of the back side of the front portion 3, and is not limited to this, and can be configured freely.

[0028] (Back section 4) The back section 4 is formed around the wearer's torso outside the raised left and right breasts. The lower end of the back section 4 is formed at a position level with the lower end of the front section 3 around the wearer's torso. The upper end of the back section 4 is formed 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 raised left and right sides of the breasts.

[0029] The back section 4 is integrated with the front section 3 to fit and wrap around the wearer's torso, preventing the brassiere 1, and particularly the front section 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 ends of the armpits). The connection sections 52 and 53 are disposed at the back ends of the armpits.

[0031] The right and left side support parts 4R and 4L may be made of outer and inner fabrics, or may be made of a single layer of fabric. The fabric for the right and left side support parts 4R and 4L may be made of a wide material with strong kickback (such as a nylon and polyurethane blend) to prevent the breasts from sliding sideways.

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

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

[0034] The front ends of the shoulder straps 5 are formed at the same position as the upper ends of the front section 3. The right shoulder strap 5R and the front section 3 are connected at a connection part 55. The left shoulder strap 5L and the front section 3 are connected at a connection part 56. The rear ends of the shoulder straps 5 are formed at the same position as the upper ends of the back section 4. The right shoulder strap 5R and the back support section 4A of the back section 4 are connected at a connection part 57. The left shoulder strap 5L and the back support section 4A of the back section 4 are connected at a connection part 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 bottom elastic portion 6 is tightly wrapped around the wearer's torso to prevent the brassiere 1 from slipping. The bottom elastic portion 6 is formed, for example, from a long, tape-like material such as rubber. The bottom elastic portion 6 is provided with a length adjustment mechanism 61 at its end. The length adjustment mechanism 61 is, for example, a hook. As shown in FIG. 2(b), the left end 61L has loops at multiple length positions on the front side, and the right end 61R has a fastening portion on the skin side. By hooking the fastening portion onto the loop at any length position, the left and right ends of the bottom elastic portion 6 are detachably connected. Note that 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 buttonhole, or the like. The length adjustment mechanism 61 allows the circumference of the bottom elastic portion 6 to be adjusted to fit the wearer's torso size. Furthermore, the brassiere 1 can be easily put on and taken off by leaving the left and right ends disconnected. Furthermore, by putting on and taking off the brassiere 1 without connecting the left and right ends together, the bottom rubber part 6 can be prevented from stretching when putting on and taking off the brassiere 1, 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 by the length adjusting mechanism 61 can be performed without twisting the fabric of the back portion 4.

[0038] The bottom rubber part 6 may have an engaging part without a length adjustment function instead of the length adjustment mechanism 61. Alternatively, the bottom rubber part 6 may be a single tape-like member without an engaging part and without ends. Also, the brassiere 1 does not have to have a 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 side and underside of the left breast, and extends to the right shoulder strap part 5R.

[0040] The first fixing portion 7 is connected to the left armpit portion of the main body portion 2. Specifically, the armpit end of the first fixing portion 7 is connected to the main body portion 2 at a connection portion 54 where the front portion 3 and the left armpit support portion 4L of the back portion 4 are connected. The first fixing portion 7 is connected to the lower end of the front portion 3. Specifically, the lower end of the first fixing portion 7 is connected to the lower end of the front portion 3 at a connection portion where the front portion 3 and the lower edge rubber portion 6 are connected. The first fixing portion 7 is connected to the front end of the right shoulder strap portion 5R. Specifically, the upper end of the first fixing portion 7 is connected to the front end of the right shoulder strap portion 5R at a connection portion 55 where the right shoulder strap portion 5R and the front portion 3 are connected. These connections are made by, for example, sewing. The edges of the first fixing portion 7 other than the armpit end, lower end, and upper end are not connected to the main body portion 2 and are free.

[0041] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the first fixing part 7. As shown in FIG. 4, the first fixing part 7 has a fixing 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 fixing part 7. The length of the first fixing part 7 is, for example, the length from the side edge to the top edge. The fixing main body part 7A is located on the side and below the left breast, and the adjuster part 7B is located on the right shoulder strap part 5R side.

[0042] The fixed main body portion 7A is formed from a wide member and covers the left breast. The fixed main body portion 7A may be composed of an outer fabric and an inner fabric, or may be composed of a single layer of fabric. The fabric of the fixed main body portion 7A is made of a material that stretches and fits the skin (for example, a blend of nylon and polyurethane) so that it can be used for 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 top of the right breast while the fixed main body part 7A firmly fixes the left breast. The adjuster part 7B may also cover part of the breast.

[0044] 5 is a diagram illustrating the adjuster portion 7B of the first fixed part 7, and is an enlarged view of the first fixed part 7 as seen from the back. 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. By adjusting the position of the adjustment member 72 in the adjuster portion 7B, the wearer can adjust the length of the adjuster portion 7B, and thereby the length of the first fixed part 7.

[0045] The first fixing part 7 lifts the left breast from the lower left to the upper right and fixes the left breast from the lower left to the upper right, thereby effectively reducing the sway of the left breast regardless of the size or shape of the left breast. Furthermore, the adjuster part 7B allows the length of the first fixing part 7 to be adjusted to fit the size and shape of the wearer's left breast, thereby adjusting the fixing strength. This allows the sway of the left breast to be suitably reduced according to the size and shape of the wearer's left breast. It also reduces the respiratory function inhibition and discomfort that can occur when the fixing strength is too strong. Furthermore, the length of the first fixing part 7 can be adjusted to fit the exercise intensity, thereby allowing the sway of the left breast to be suitably reduced according to the exercise intensity.

[0046] Since the adjuster parts 7B are located on the front and outer surfaces of the brassiere 1, the wearer can easily adjust the fastening strength while wearing the brassiere 1.

[0047] Since the first fixing part 7 is connected to the front end of the right shoulder strap part 5R, tension is distributed and the burden on the wearer's right shoulder can be reduced.

[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 side and underside of the right breast, and extends to the left shoulder strap part 5L.

[0049] The second fixing portion 8 is connected to the right armpit of the main body portion 2. Specifically, the armpit end of the second fixing portion 8 is connected to the main body portion 2 at a connection portion 51 where the front portion 3 and the right armpit support portion 4R of the back portion 4 are connected. The second fixing portion 8 is connected to the lower end of the front portion 3. Specifically, the lower end of the second fixing portion 8 is connected to the lower end of the front portion 3 at a connection portion where the front portion 3 and the lower edge rubber portion 6 are connected. The second fixing portion 8 is connected to the front end of the left shoulder strap portion 5L. Specifically, the upper end of the second fixing portion 8 is connected to the front end of the left shoulder strap portion 5L at a connection portion 56 where the left shoulder strap portion 5L and the front portion 3 are connected. These connections are made by, for example, sewing. The edges of the second fixing portion 8 other than the armpit, lower, and upper ends are not connected to the main body portion 2 and are free.

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

[0051] Similar to the first fixing part 7 shown in FIG. 4, the second fixing part 8 has a fixing main body part 8A (not shown) and an adjuster part (second adjuster part) 8B (not shown). 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 side edge to the top edge. The fixing main body part 8A is located on the side and below the right breast, and the adjuster part 8B is located on the side of the left shoulder strap part 5L.

[0052] The fixed main body portion 8A is formed from a wide member and covers the right breast. The fixed main body portion 8A may be composed of an outer fabric and an inner fabric, or may be composed of a single layer of fabric. The fabric of the fixed main body portion 8A is made of a material that stretches and fits the skin (for example, a blend of nylon and polyurethane) so that it can be used for a wide range of wearer sizes.

[0053] The adjuster part 8B is formed of 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 top of the left breast while the right breast is firmly fixed by the fixing main body part 8A. The adjuster part 8B may also cover 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 (not shown) is provided between both ends of the adjuster part 8B. By adjusting the position of the adjustment member 82 in the adjuster part 8B, the wearer can adjust the length of the adjuster part 8B, and thereby the length of the second fixed part 8.

[0055] The second fixing part 8 lifts 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 swaying of the right breast regardless of the size or shape of the right breast. Furthermore, the adjuster part 7B allows the length of the second fixing part 8 to be adjusted to fit the size and shape of the wearer's right breast, thereby adjusting the fixing strength. This allows the swaying of the right breast to be suitably reduced according to the size and shape of the wearer's right breast. It also reduces the respiratory function inhibition and discomfort that can occur when the fixing strength is too strong. Furthermore, the length of the second fixing part 8 can be adjusted to fit the exercise intensity, thereby allowing the swaying of the right breast to be suitably reduced according to the exercise intensity.

[0056] Since the adjuster parts 8B are located on the front and outer surfaces of the brassiere 1, the wearer can easily adjust the fastening strength while wearing the brassiere 1.

[0057] Since the second fixing part 8 is connected to the front end of the left shoulder strap part 5L, tension is distributed and the burden on the wearer's left shoulder can be reduced.

[0058] Furthermore, since the lengths of the first fixing part 7 and the second fixing part 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 or taking off brassiere 1, it is easy to put on or take off brassiere 1. Furthermore, by loosening adjuster parts 7B and 8B when putting on or taking off brassiere 1, it is possible to prevent first fixing part 7 and second fixing part 8 from stretching when putting on or taking off brassiere 1, which prevents deterioration and allows first fixing part 7 and second fixing part 8 to maintain their effect of reducing breast sway for a long time.

[0060] (Variation) For example, as shown in Fig. 6(a), the first fixing part 7 may cover up to a position overlapping with the left arm hole 21L, or may be connected to the left arm hole 21L. For example, as shown in Fig. 6, the second fixing part 8 may cover up to a position overlapping with the right arm hole 21R, or may be connected to the right arm hole 21R.

[0061] Adjuster part 7B is not limited to the above and may be anything that can adjust the length of first fixing part 7, such as a pin, snap, hook and loop fastener, string, button and buttonhole, hook and eye, etc. The same applies to adjuster part 8B.

[0062] The first fixing part 7 may not have a length adjustment mechanism, as shown in FIG. 6(b), for example. In that case, the first fixing part 7 is preferably made of a material with good stretch and elasticity, such as power net. The same applies to the second fixing part 8. When the first fixing part 7 and the second fixing part 8 do not have a length adjustment mechanism, the front of the brassiere 1 is flat, which has the advantage of not protruding when worn over other clothing, resulting in a good appearance. Another advantage is that the lack of a structure on the front of the brassiere 1 makes it comfortable to wear when the wearer is lying face down.

[0063] 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 buttonhole, a hook, etc. The same applies to the second fixing part 8.

[0064] The shape of the back portion 4 is not limited to the above and may be any desired shape. As an example, as shown in Fig. 7(a), the back support portion may be formed from two separate pieces of fabric that cross each other. As another example, as shown in Fig. 7(b), the back portion 4 may be formed from a pair of left and right members and formed to be detachable near the center of the back.

[0065] The fabrics of each component are not limited to those mentioned above and can be selected appropriately depending on the intended use. For example, while the example in which mesh material is used for the back portion 4 has been shown, a thicker material with high cold protection can also be used to enhance cold protection.
