Definitions

This invention relates to undercup insert members. More particularly, but not exclusively, the invention relates to undercup insert members for brassieres.
Brassieres are made with undercup wire inserts to maintain the shape of the cups. Also, the inserts provide support for the breast.
the inserts have the disadvantage that the painting or paint coating can wear away and the insert can rust causing unsightly stains.
FR 1 283 336 discloses a symmetric undercup insert member made of a plastics material.
the undercup insert member has an essentially uniform cross-sectional profile along the length thereof.
US 5,730,640 discloses a steel undercup insert member having an hour glass shaped cross-sectional profile along the length thereof.
an undercup insert member according to Claim 1.
the undercup insert member includes further features as defined in dependent Claims 2 to 20.
the breast support arrangement includes further features as defined in dependent Claims 22 to 24.
an undercup insert member 10 for a brassiere is in the form of an underwire for a cup of a brassiere.
the insert member 10 comprises an elongate curved main portion 12 formed of a plastics material, and is curved to conform to the size and shape of the breast to be supported.
the insert member 10 is sewn into a hem underneath the cups of the brassiere to provide support for the breast.
the main portion 12 is formed by moulding and has a profile of a generally oval configuration. In some arrangements, the profile may be of a kidney shape.
the main portion 12 has opposite ends 14, 16 which are rounded.
the provision in the arrangements of the main portion 12 having a generally oval profile and having rounded ends provide the advantage that there is a reduced risk of the insert member 10 piercing the brassiere.
the undercup insert member 10 is formed of a suitable plastics material which combines sufficient rigidity to provide support to the breast, and also sufficient flexibility to allow bending and twisting of the insert member 10 during use and washing so that it will return to its original configuration.
a suitable such material is an acetal homopolymer resin, for example as sold under the trade mark Delrin, a registered trade mark of E.I. du Port de Nemours and Company.
FIG. 3 Another arrangement is shown in Figs. 3, 3A and 3B which is generally similar to the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2 , and comprises the same features. These features have been labelled with the same reference numerals.
the arrangement shown in Fig. 3 also includes flange members 18, 20 provided at the ends 14, 16 of the main portion 12.
the flange members may be formed of the same material as the main portion 12.
the flange members can be formed of a rubberised material, which may be a rubberised version of the material from which the main portion 12 is formed.
the flange members 18, 20 allow the insert member to be sewn into the brassiere.
the profile of the main portion 12 is generally kidney shaped.
the flange members 18, 20 extend substantially the whole length of the main portion 12, as shown in broken lines in Fig. 3 , and designated by the numeral 22, to allow stitching along the length of the main portion 12. This would be particularly suitable for use in sports brassieres, and allows the insert member to be stitched into the brassiere substantially along the whole of the length of the main portion 12.
FIG. 4 to 8 An undercup insert member according to an embodiment of the invention is shown in Figs. 4 to 8 .
This embodiment is generally similar to the arrangements shown in Figs. 1 to 3B , and comprises many of the same features. These features have been labelled with the same reference numerals.
the embodiment shown in Figs. 4 to 8 differs from those shown in Figs,. 1 to 3B in that the main portion 12 comprises two regions, a first or outer region 30, and a second or inner region 32.
the insert member 10 shown in Figs 4 to 7 is sewn into the brassiere such that the outer region 30 is arranged adjacent the outer region of the breast, and the inner region 32 arranged adjacent the inner region of the breast.
the outer region 30 has a profile shown in Fig. 6 which comprises first and second opposite elongate support elements 34, 36 which are connected to each other by a connecting element 38.
the connecting element 38 is of a narrower width than the support element 34, 36 such that the profile of the outer region 30 is generally of an hour glass shape, as shown.
the provision of the outer region 30 having a profile of an hour glass shape provides the advantage that it allows the outer part to twist when the brassiere is put on and therefore provides improved aesthetics and is more comfortable for the wearer.
the inner region 32 of the main portion 12 has a profile which is generally oval in shape.
the main portion could have a generally circular profile.
the insert member could be used in other forms of breast supporting underwear, or in swimsuits.
the dimensions and sized of the insert member will vary depending upon the size of the breast to be supported by the brassiere.
