Definitions

  • Brassieres with underwires usually comprise sewn or molded cups to which are attached elements used as underwires such as stays.
  • these stays are formed in a relatively rigid material such as a metal rod or optionally a rigid element in a synthetic material. Said stays are then sewn inside a fabric structure in order to protect them, notably during washing operations, and to protect the person wearing this type of brassiere.
  • both limbs of the underwire are dissymmetrical, the first limb being shorter than the second limb.
  • FIGS. 8B and 8C show in 3 dimensions the structure of the notches in the first preferred embodiment oft the underwire according to the invention.
  • FIG. 10 illustrates the main principle for positioning the underwire according to the invention on the breast of a user.
  • FIG. 11 shows an overall profile of a notch of the underwire according to the invention.
  • the originality of the brassiere according to the invention is based on a quite particular underwire, a three-dimensional underwire. More specifically, this underwire advantageously has a profile which is a geometrical configuration in three dimensions. Further, more advantageously, the structure is itself three-dimensional.
  • the limb 2 i.e. the limb intended to be in contact, under conditions of use with the portion 18 of the breast 19 of the user placed against the sternum (see FIG. 10 ) has a conformation in space such that it is curved towards the inside of the underwire, as illustrated in FIG. 4A .
  • the curved side is therefore placed towards the sternum.
  • this curvilinear triangle has three sides:
  • the internal face 7 of the profile 1 is therefore preferably convex so as to be able, under conditions of use, to fit at best the anatomy of the user, and more specifically the shape of the thorax on which it rests and fit at best the shape of the side(s) on which it rests.
  • the underwire or stay is positioned under the breast, and the brassiere may either be closed on the back or on the front, this for example by means of a fastening hook positioned on a supporting band surrounding the body, this band being essentially positioned perpendicularly with respect to the torso and allowing the brassiere to be maintained in place.
  • the underwire or stay according to present invention consists of one or several polymeric materials having a flexure modulus of more than 350 MPa, preferably comprised between 500 and 3,000 MPa, and more preferably between 800 and 2,000 MPa.
  • the underwire according to the invention allows optimum distribution of the weight of the breast, notably for large breasts, thereby avoiding any forward movement of the weight of the breast, and therefore any sensation of discomfort for its user.
  • the underwire according to the invention avoids after a few movements of the torso, that the breast slips forward and collapses, and that the base of the brassiere does not detach from the body, as this is known with conventional metal underwires, thereby ensuring constant aesthetics in spite of the movements.
