Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a breast cup for women's clothing. In particular, the present invention relates to a breast cup for women's clothing, which allows the wearer's breast to be centered, and the shape of the breast to be approximately conical, and the bust to be rounded to have a beautiful shape.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, women's clothing having breast cups, specifically, foundations having breast cups such as brassieres, long-line bras, bistiers, bodysuits, three-in-one, brateddy, bra camisole or brasslip. Clothing such as clothing and swimwear has a bulging breast cup that is applied to the breast of the wearer, and clothing having these breast cups is widely used as clothing for women.

[0003] These breast cups are made of one piece, and a front cup made of a relatively thin material such as lace, tricot or other knitted or woven fabric is provided on the breast cup in order to make it more decorative. Or, in general, it is composed of at least two fabrics provided with a back cover or the like as necessary in view of the texture and the like.

Conventionally, the structure of a breast cup of a garment having a breast cup most commonly used will be described by taking a brassiere as an example. FIG. 13 is a perspective view of an example of a conventional brassiere viewed from the front side.

In the case of this example, the breast cup 120 has an upper cup portion 121 and a lower cup portion by means of a joining line 123 that passes from the front center of the cup to near the center of the cup and reaches the side of the cup. Two members 122 are joined to each other. Note that the cup chest means the edge of the cup having a substantially semicircular shape at the lower side of the cup indicated by 124. As is well known, the sewn line 123 is sewn with darts so that the cup bulges. A cup formed by joining two members together in this way is called a two-piece joint type. Although not shown, these breast cups are usually further provided with a front cup made of a relatively thin cloth, knitted fabric, or lace, or a back cover cloth is provided as needed. There are also ones with a three-layer structure or a three-layer structure.

Usually, the front cup and the back cover cloth made of a relatively thin material, which are provided for the purpose of decoration or to improve the touch, are not provided for the purpose of shaping the shape of the breast. .

Although not necessarily limited, breast cups mainly for the purpose of shaping the shape of the breast and exhibiting a bust correction function are usually made of a slightly thicker non-woven fabric or urethane foam than a front cup or a back cover cloth. Are commonly used, but in some cases, there are breast cups made of relatively thin woven or knitted fabrics. When a breast cup is composed of only a relatively thin cloth as described above, usually two or more overlapping types are used.

In a cup having a multi-layered structure of two or more layers, each cup is used by sewing part or all of the peripheral edge of each cup. By the way, the brassiere shown in FIG. 13 is a so-called cup-mounting type, and the breast cup 12 is provided on the front side of the base cloth 125 of the brassiere.
This is a type in which 0 is placed and sewn near the chest cup 126 for the base cloth cup near the chest cup chest.

FIG. 14 shows a so-called base mounting type brassiere having the same shape as FIG. Contrary to the cup mounting type described above, the base mounting type brassiere is applied to the back side of the base cloth 125 of the brassiere near the chest cup 120 so that the breast cup 120 and the base sleeve cup 126 are attached. The neighborhood is a type that is sewn. Whether these are the cup-mounted type or the base-mounted type is a matter of sewing and design, and is not directly related to the molding and correction functions of the breast.

Further, in FIG.
The perspective view which looked at the front side of an example of the brassiere which has a breast cup of the type called a piece stitch was shown. The breast cup 140 of the brassiere shown in FIG. 15 is slightly different in shape from the brassiere shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, and the upper cup portion 141, the lower cup portion 142 and the side cup portion 14 are slightly different.
3 is a total of three members. The sewing at the joining lines 144 and 145 is a known dart so that the cup is bulged.

[0011]

Generally, in the natural state of a female breast, the breast tends to flow to the side and tends to sag, and if the person wears clothing that does not have the function of adjusting the shape of the breast, the breast will move to the side. It does not flow to the ground and hangs down, and a beautiful silhouette of the wearer's bust cannot be realized.

By the way, in the case of a breast cup having a structure of two pieces joined as described above with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14, the joining line 123 has a bulge necessary for housing the breast. The main purpose is to have it, and there is a problem that the function of correcting the shape of the breast is not sufficiently considered.

To explain with reference to FIG. 13, since the lower cup portion has a relatively large area, the lower breast portion is largely pressed by the lower cup portion in a planar manner, so that a force in the direction of the arrow 128 acts, which influences it. It is considered that the force acts so as to escape in the directions of arrows 129, 130, 131. Therefore, little consideration is given to the flank flow of the breast. Then, it becomes a collapsed pseudo-cone with an elliptical shape that spreads slightly in the left-right direction as the bottom surface.

In addition, the vicinity of the raised vertices of the breast is not so sharp and keeps a natural beautiful rounded shape, and no function is added to compensate for a beautiful rounded conical shape. That is, in the case of a breast cup having a double-bonded structure as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the upper cup portion 121 and the lower cup portion 122 hold the breast in a planar shape from above and below, so that the breast is rounded. Moreover, when viewed from the side, the apex of the bulge of the cup is pointed in a V shape and the apex of the bulge does not have a beautiful rounded shape. Therefore, there is a problem that the shape of the whole breast does not become a beautiful shape with a rounded and substantially conical shape.

Further, in the case of a breast cup having a structure in which three breast cups are joined as described with reference to FIG. 15, the darts are taken along the two joining lines 144 and 145 to be sewn. As compared to a cup with two pieces,
Although a slight improvement effect is recognized in that the bulge of the breast is hard to be crushed, a vertex (f) perpendicular to an imaginary line (f) connecting the lowest point (S) of the breast cup and the vertex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup ( The area of the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion are different, assuming that the side cup portion is vertically divided by an imaginary line (g) passing through T), and the action of the vertical force is not balanced. In addition, the joining line 1 between the side cup portion 143 and the upper cup portion 141 and the lower cup portion 142.
44 and 145, that is, the joining line 144 and the joining line 145 from the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup are almost arcuate joining lines which are convex toward the front center direction at least near the apex (T). It is hard to say that the curvature is reversed at the apex (T) and the imaginary line (g)
The shape of the side cup part is also unbalanced above and below, and further, in the side cup part, the angle α formed by the connecting line 144 and the imaginary line (g) and the connecting line 1
Because the angle β formed by 45 and the imaginary line (g) is significantly different, the breast pressing force from the armpit side acts diagonally upward from the armpit lower portion as indicated by arrow 146. , A force to escape in the direction of arrows 147, 148, 149 is exerted, and a force to escape in the diagonally upward direction of the side of arrow 147 is generated. It becomes a collapsed pseudo-cone. Moreover, the function of maintaining the natural beautiful rounded shape without the sharp ridge of the breast being too sharp is insufficient. Therefore, little attention has been paid to the function of shaping the shape of the breast into a beautiful rounded conical shape.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and maintains a natural beautiful rounded shape with little bulging near the apexes of the breast while maintaining the bust-up effect and the effect of moving the bust to the center. An object of the present invention is to provide a breast cup having a function of correcting a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip without crushing the breast.

In addition, in each of preferred embodiments of the present invention described later, in addition to the above objects, the following objects are further provided. That is, the present invention can further exhibit the bust-up function and the function of bringing the bust closer to the front center side, and the vicinity of the raised apex of the breast is not too sharp and keeps a natural beautiful rounded shape without crushing the breast. It is an object of the present invention to provide a breast cup that can more appropriately exert the function of adjusting to a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip.

Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a breast cup which has good air permeability and is more likely to exhibit the above-mentioned function. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a breast cup that is more decorative and fashionable and has an improved appearance.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a breast cup for clothes in which the breast adjusting function is more effectively exerted. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a breast cup for a specific clothing in which the breast correction function is more effectively exerted.

[0026]

[Action]

(1) The breast cup for women's clothing according to the present invention employs a division method that is different from the most commonly used breast cup in the past, which includes an upper cup portion, a lower cup portion, and a side cup portion. Since the joint line (b) is a substantially arcuate joint line that is convex toward the anterior center direction at least in the vicinity of the anterior breast cup apex (T), the conventional breast cup is mainly below or below the armpit. While the force to press the breast acts from the side, the breast cup of the present invention applies the force to press the breast with a relatively large surface from the sideward direction toward the front center side. That is, when it is explained with reference to FIG. 2, it is estimated that when a force from the side direction as shown by the arrow 12 acts, as a result, this force is dispersed in the directions of the arrows 13 and 14 and escapes. However, since the lower cup portion is fixed to the base cloth 10 or the like, the pressing force of the lower cup portion (the force opposite to the arrow 14) acts, and the force in the direction of arrow 14 cancels out with the opposite force. Therefore, it is estimated that the force acting on the breast is mainly the upward force indicated by the arrow 13. However, because the upper cup part is not firmly fixed to the base cloth, etc., and in general, clothes such as brassieres and other breast cups that are usually designed to release force in the upward direction, It is presumed that since a force with a small volume to escape upward acts on the breast, a side of a relatively large volume is pressed to realize a conical breast shape with a well-balanced overall volume.

Moreover, assuming that the side cup portion is divided into upper and lower sides by the imaginary line (g), the areas of the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion are made substantially equal, so that the force from the side is indicated by the arrow. Since it acts almost in the front center direction as shown by 12, it is presumed that the force flowing in the armpit direction as shown by the arrow 147 as described with reference to FIG. 15 can be prevented from acting. Therefore, it is possible to provide a breast cup capable of exerting a function of correcting the breast into a beautiful conical shape without crushing the breast by the specific three-division method. Moreover, the connecting line (a) between the upper cup portion and the lower cup portion is the connecting line (b) between the side cup portion and the upper cup and the lower cup portion.
And (a) intersect with each other in the vicinity of the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup, and the lateral joining line (c) approximately at the center of the side cup portion is located in the direction (a) and (b) approximately in the extending direction of the joining line (a). Since it is provided just beyond the intersection, the connecting lines (a) and (c) and the connecting line (b)
And X intersect in a nearly X-shape near the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup and both are darts-joined, and the joint line (b) is at least near the apex (T) of the front breast cup. In this case, since it is a nearly arcuate joint line that is convex toward the front center direction, the vicinity of the raised apex of the breast is not sharpened and a natural beautiful rounded shape can be maintained. A breast cup having a function of adjusting the bust shape of the wearer to a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip can be provided by the functions of both. Further, since the lateral connecting line (c) at the substantially center of the side cup portion is provided in the almost extending direction of the connecting line (a) to a position slightly beyond the intersection of (a) and (b), In the breast cup of the present invention, the side cup portion has a larger area than in the case where the lateral joining line (c) of the side cup portion completely crosses the side cup portion and the breast cup is divided into four. Is maintained, the arrow 12 illustrated in FIG.
A directional force is generated.

By the above-mentioned operation, the breast having a function of correcting the shape of a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip without crushing the breast while keeping the shape of a natural rounded shape without being sharply sharpened near the apex of the breast A cup can be provided.

(2) Further, in the breast cup of the present invention, the connecting line (b) between the side cup portion and the upper and lower cup portions is such that the lowest point (S) of the breast cup and the breast cup. Of the breast cup from the upper side of the breast cup or the upper side of the breast cup on the side of the imaginary line (f) connecting the vertices (T) of the bulges of the breast cup and above the upper end point (U) on the side of the chest cup. A joint line that passes through the vicinity of the top (T) of the bulge of the cup and reaches between the lowest point (S) of the breast cup and the upper end point (U) of the side of the breast cup on the side of the breast cup, and The joining line (a) between the upper cup portion and the lower cup portion is the upper end point (V) on the front center side of the breast cup and the lowest point (S) on the breast cup.
Between the side cup portion and the upper cup and the lower cup portion in the vicinity of the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup from the midpoint (W) between the breast cup and the upper end point (V) on the front center side of the chest cup. By adopting a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is a connecting line extending to the connecting line (b), the position of the side cup portion and the position of the lower cup portion are arranged at positions where the above-mentioned respective functions are easily exhibited. Because it will be
It is possible to provide a breast cup in which the vicinity of the raised apex of the breast is not too sharp and maintains a natural beautiful rounded shape, and the function of correcting the breast to a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip can be more appropriately performed.

(3) In the breast cup of the present invention, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is that the breast cup is made of a material selected from a non-woven fabric or a laminated fabric in which a knitted fabric or a woven fabric is laminated on at least one surface of the non-woven fabric. As a result, since the non-woven fabric is included as at least the constituent material, the non-woven fabric is generally thicker than the knitted fabric and the woven fabric, and therefore sufficiently exerts the power necessary to exert the predetermined function of each cup portion described above. In addition, the non-woven fabric has good air permeability and does not easily cause stuffiness. When a laminated fabric in which a knitted fabric or a woven fabric is laminated on at least one surface of a non-woven fabric is used, in addition to the function described above, the relatively weak mechanical properties of the non-woven fabric are reinforced, and the fabric is not frayed and fluffed. It is easy to handle in the process such as sewing. Further, when the breast cup is configured such that the surface on which the knitted fabric or the woven fabric is laminated is brought into contact with at least the skin side of the wearer, when the non-woven fabric directly contacts the skin, the tip of the fiber forming the non-woven fabric is used. It is possible to eliminate the tingling deficiency caused by touching the skin, and it is possible to provide a breast cup with good touch.

(4) Further, in the breast cup of the present invention, a front cup made of lace, knitted fabric or woven fabric is further provided on the front side of the breast cup to form a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Since there is no need to further add the function of the present invention, there is relatively freedom in selecting the position where the joining line is provided and the shape and material of the component parts. By adopting the line, it is possible to provide a breast cup that is more decorative and fashionable, has an improved appearance, and has the above-described function of the present invention.

(5) Further, in the breast cup of the present invention, the women's clothing is a foundation having a breast cup or a swimsuit as a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Since it is a garment that is relatively close to the skin that is required and that the body shape correction function is easily exerted or is in direct contact with the skin, the above-mentioned vicinity of the raised ridge of the breast is not sharp and has a natural beautiful roundness. It is possible to provide a breast cup that can maintain its shape and more appropriately demonstrate the function of adjusting the breast to a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip without crushing. In addition, by making it a breast cup for bathing, the swimsuit is a clothing that is worn by directly contacting the skin like foundations, and since it is a clothing that emphasizes the beautiful body line of women, it is the same as described above. The breast cup of the present invention, which does not sharpen the vicinity of the raised vertices, maintains a natural beautiful rounded shape, and can more properly demonstrate the function of correcting the breast to a beautiful circular cone shape without crushing the breast. Can be provided.

(6) Further, in the breast cup of the present invention, the foundation having the breast cup is a brassiere or a body suit. By making the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a brassiere or a body suit is particularly preferred among the foundations. Is a garment in which the function of more beautifully adjusting the shape of a woman's breast is more important, and is a garment worn in direct contact with the skin. Therefore, the breast cup of the present invention is used as a breast cup for these garments. When used, the above-mentioned breast of the present invention does not have a sharp apex in the vicinity and maintains a natural beautiful rounded shape, and a function of compensating for a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip without crushing the breast It is possible to provide a breast cup that can perform more properly.
Here, in the present invention, the brassiere used in the present invention is not only a brassiere having a general concept, but also a concept including a long-line brassiere and a Bistier.

[0034]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, referring to the drawings, the structure of a breast cup for women's clothing according to the present invention will be described below with some examples including brassieres. More specifically, the present invention is not limited to only those of this embodiment, and, for example, in addition to those listed in the embodiments, Vistier, Three-in-one, Brateddy, bra camisole or brasslip, etc. It is easily understood that the present invention can be applied not only to foundations having breast cups of the above, but also to breast cups of women's clothing having various other breast cups.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a brassiere equipped with a breast cup of the present invention as viewed from the front side. In Figure 1,
1 is the breast cup of the present invention, 6 is the upper side of the breast cup, 7
Is the upper side of the breast cup, 9 is the strap (shoulder strap), 8 is the joint of the strap 9 of the breast cup 1, and 10 is the base cloth. The breast cup 1 is composed of an upper cup portion 2, a lower cup portion 3 and a side cup portion 4.

The joining line (b) between the side cup portion 4 and the upper cup portion 2 and the lower cup portion 3 is defined by the breast cup 1
From the uppermost point (U) on the side of the chest cup 5 of the breast cup on the side of the imaginary line (f) (indicated by the chain line) connecting the lowest point (S) of the breast cup and the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup 1. Also passes from the upper side 6 of the upper side of the upper side of the breast cup through the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup, and between the lowest point (S) of the breast cup 1 and the upper end point (U) of the side of the chest 5 of the breast cup. It is a joint line that reaches the chest 5 of the breast cup, and this joint line (b) is a substantially arcuate joint line that is convex toward the front center direction at least near the anterior breast cup apex (T). ing. The joining line (a) between the upper cup portion 2 and the lower cup portion 3 is located on the breast cup chest 5 at the upper end point (V) on the front center side of the breast cup chest 5 and the lowest point of the breast cup. From the midpoint (W) with respect to (S) and the upper end point (V) on the front center side of the breast cup 5 at the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup, the side cup portion 4 and the upper cup portion 2 And the lower cup portion 3 to the connecting line (b). The joint line (a) intersects the joint line (b) at the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup, and the lateral joint line (c) at the substantially center of the side cup portion 4 is the joint line (a). ) Is provided almost in the extending direction up to a point slightly beyond the intersection of (a) and (b). The upper cup portion 2, the lower cup portion 3 and the side cup portion 4 are respectively connected to the joining lines (a), (b),
As is well known in (c), the darts are sewn based on the method usually adopted in the sewing of breast cups so that the breast cups bulge.

Further, in the side cup portion 4, the upper side when it is assumed that the side cup portion is vertically divided by an imaginary line (g) passing through a vertex (T) perpendicular to the imaginary line (f). The side cup portion 4a and the lower side cup portion 4b are designed to have substantially the same area. Further, in this example, the angle α formed by the tie line (b) in the upper side cup portion 4a and the imaginary line (g) and the tie line (b) in the lower side cup portion 4b and the imaginary line The angle β with the line (g) is designed to be substantially equal. Depending on the type of clothing, there is also a type of clothing in which the strap joint portion 8 of the upper cup portion or the side cup portion is not present or is present at the upper portion. Or the area of the upper cup part and the side cup part of the clothing in which a part of the side cup part stretches as it is and functions as a strap, except that the part that substantially functions as a strap is excluded. I have to. The same applies to the case where the side cup portion is divided into upper and lower sides by an imaginary line (g) and the areas of the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion are compared.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the areas of the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion are substantially equal to each other, but it is preferable that both areas are as close as possible, but it is strictly required that the area ratio is 1: 1. However, there is no problem even if there is a difference in the range of about 4: 6 to 6: 4. In this way, by making the areas of the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion substantially equal, the joint line (b) is convex toward the front center direction at least near the anterior breast cup apex (T). By setting the arc-shaped connecting line to be, a force for pressing the breast from the side toward the front center will act.
If the areas of the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion are out of balance, for example, if the area of the lower side cup portion becomes considerably larger than the area of the upper side cup portion, FIG.
As described with reference to FIG. 5, the pressing force of the breast from the armpit side acts obliquely upward from the armpit lower part as shown by the arrow 146, and as a result, the force of escaping in the armpit obliquely upward direction of the arrow 147 is exerted. As a result, the function of adjusting the breast to a beautiful conical shape cannot be exerted. Further, when the joint line (b) is not a substantially arcuate joint line convex toward the anterior center direction at least near the anterior breast cup apex (T), for example, the breast cup apex as described in FIG. Even if the curvature is reversed at (T) and the curvature is reversed at the apex (T) as a boundary, the force from the side direction to the front center direction is less likely to act, and the acting direction of the force is likely to shift.

Further, it is more preferable that the angle α and the angle β are designed to be substantially equal to each other.
The direction of the force that presses the breast from the side toward the front center is more likely to be more accurate, which is preferable. In the present invention, it is preferable that the angle α and the angle β are substantially equal to each other as close as possible, but it is strictly required that the ratio of the angle α and the angle β is 1: 1. Not something
There is no problem even if there is a difference in the range of 4: 6 to 6: 4.

FIG. 3 shows a development view of the components of the breast cup 1 used in FIG. 1, that is, the upper cup portion 2, the lower cup portion 3 and the side cup portion 4. In FIG. 3, the EF line of the upper cup portion 2 is joined to the HI line of the side cup portion 4, and the KL line is connected to the lower cup portion 3.
And the MN line of the above are joined to form a joined line (b). Further, the FG line of the upper cup portion 2 is joined to the MO line of the lower cup portion 3 to form a joint line (a). I-of the side cup part 4
The J line is joined to the KJ line to form a joint line (c).

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the acting direction of the force for pressing the breast in the brassiere shown in FIG. With the above-described aspect, the armpit cup portion 4 is arranged at a specific position on the armpit side of the breast cup, and a force that presses the breast on the surface acts substantially from the armpit direction to the front center side. . With reference to FIG. 2, when a force from the side direction as shown by arrow 12 acts, as a result, it is presumed that this force is dispersed in the directions of arrows 13 and 14 and escapes. However, since the lower cup portion is fixed to the base cloth 10 etc., the pressing force of the lower cup portion (arrow 1
4), and the force in the direction of arrow 14 is
It is presumed that the forces in the opposite direction cancel each other out, and thus the force acting on the breast is mainly the upward force indicated by the arrow 13. However, because the upper cup part is not firmly fixed to the base cloth, etc., and in general, clothes such as brassieres and other breast cups that are usually designed to release force in the upward direction, It is presumed that since a force with a small volume to escape upward acts on the breast, a side of a relatively large volume is pressed to realize a conical breast shape with a well-balanced overall volume.

Moreover, the joining line (a) intersects the joining line (b) at the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup, and the lateral joining line (c) at the approximate center of the side cup portion 4 is the joining line. Since it is provided almost in the extending direction of (a) up to a point slightly beyond the intersection of (a) and (b), the joint lines (a) and (c) and the joint line (b) form the breast cup. Almost X at the top of bulge (T)
They intersect each other in a letter shape and are joined by being darts-shaped, and the joint line (b) is almost a circle that is convex toward the front center direction at least near the anterior breast cup apex (T). Since it is an arc-shaped joint line, the vicinity of the raised ridge of the breast is not sharp and can maintain a natural beautiful rounded shape, the function of both of which makes the wearer's bust shape round and beautiful It is possible to provide a breast cup having a function of adjusting to a conical shape.
