Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pad used in a garment having a cup portion such as a brassiere, and more particularly to a pad excellent in fitting to a bust and shaping the bust.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a garment having a cup portion such as a brassiere, a pad which is attached to the cup portion or forms the cup portion itself is often used as a compensating member for enhancing the shaping property of the bust. As the pad, many molded elastic bodies are used,
When wearing clothes with such a pad, an uncomfortable feeling due to the displacement of the cup, sliding down, and the like will occur due to the passage of time, the movement of the body, and the like.

Therefore, in many cases, a wire having a substantially U-shape is provided along the peripheral part of the breast for the purpose of holding the cup and maintaining the shape of the cup while adjusting the bust. Such a wire has a high rigidity and therefore a high compensating property, and is used for stabilizing the cup and for bringing the brassiere into close contact with the body without vibrating.

Since the cup portion of a brassiere or the like is directly attached to the skin, it is required to hit the breast gently. However, in the case where the wire having high rigidity is inserted, the brassiere is worn for several hours. A thin wire can be felt locally on the body, and when the wire is displaced from the barges line due to the movement of the body or the like, discomfort is caused, and a feeling of pressure or pain is felt.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above problems and provides a pad having a structure that does not have a feeling of pressure or pain due to a wire while having a bust compensation function and excellent formability. An object of the present invention is to provide a garment having a cup portion that has been opened.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a pad which is used by being attached to a cup portion of a garment having a cup portion, the pad being formed into a curved surface shape along a breast from a barges line. There is provided a pad comprising a core material made of a resin having elasticity or a metal having elasticity and one or more cushion materials.

The pad constituting the cup portion of the present invention comprises a core material made of a resin having elasticity or a metal having elasticity formed by molding a curved surface from a barge line to a breast, and one or more cushion materials. In addition to holding and lifting the breast from the left and right lateral directions (horizontal direction) and from below by a core material with a planar elasticity that curves along the breast from the barges line, the cushion also holds the breast from below. Since it is then lifted, it has an excellent bust correction function and formability.

Further, in the conventional brassiere containing a wire, the wire is fixed along the barges line at the boundary line between the cup portion and the base, and the wire, the base portion, the cup portion, and the back are integrally structured. Has become. Therefore, movements that cause a twist in the body, raising hands,
When the chest is stretched, the wire moves in conjunction with the base and back cloth, which causes twisting on the sides and strain on the lower center, causing the wearer to feel pain. . On the other hand, the core material of the present invention having the function of a conventional wire is composed of one or more cushion materials and can be accommodated in the cup portion in a movable state. Therefore, even when the body is moved, the wire is not interlocked with the movement of the base portion and the back cloth, the wire portion is less likely to be twisted or distorted, and the wearer does not feel any pain.

Further, unlike the conventional thin wire, the core material of the present invention is a flat surface having a certain area, and therefore, the shape of the cup portion itself or the holding of the cup portion can be maintained without giving a local sense of pressure to the body. You can

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an outline of molding of a pad, which is an example of an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a diagram schematically showing constituent elements of the pad, FIG. 1B is a front view of the pad, and FIG. 1C is a sectional view taken along the line aa of the pad. A pad 1 is formed by molding a polyacetal resin into a shape along a breast from a barge line by injection molding to form a core material 2 and sandwiching it between two cushion materials 3a and 3b and stitching the outer circumference of the cushion material. In such a pad 1, since the core material 2 has a planar shape that curves from the barges line along the breast, it fits the breast and is excellent in wearing feeling. In addition, the core material 2 having a planar elasticity curved along the breast from the barges line holds and lifts the breast from the left and right lateral directions (horizontal direction) and from below, which is excellent in the function of shaping the bust and the formability, and the cushioning material. Also by 3, the breast is held and lifted from below, so that the correction function and the shaping effect are further enhanced.

Further, instead of the plurality of cushion materials as described above, a pad composed of one core material and one cushion material may be used.

The core material 2 can be attached to one surface of the cushion material 3a by injection molding, heat sealing, bonding with an adhesive, or the like. In such a pad 1, since the core material 2 has a plane shape curved from the barges line along the breast,
Fits on the breast and is comfortable to wear. Further, since the core material 2 having a planar elasticity curved along the breast from the barges line holds and lifts the breast from the left and right lateral directions (horizontal direction) and from below, the bust compensating function and the formability are excellent, and the cushioning material is used. Also by 3, the breast is held and lifted from below, so that the correction function and the shaping effect are further enhanced.

Further, the cushion material shown in FIG. 2 may be a pad in which another cushion material is detachably formed. FIG. 3 shows an outline of molding of a pad which is another example of the embodiment of the present invention. The two detachable cushion materials 3a ′ and 3b ′ can be adhered using Velcro (registered trademark) using, for example, a material in which Velcro (registered trademark) is bonded to one cushion material. is there. In such a pad, since the core material 2 has a plane shape curved from the barges line along the breast, it fits the breast and is excellent in wearing feeling. In addition, the core material 2 having a planar elasticity curved along the breast from the barges line holds and lifts the breast from the left and right lateral directions (horizontal direction) and from below, which is excellent in the function of shaping the bust and the formability, and the cushioning material. Also by 3, the breast is held and lifted from below, so that the correction function and the shaping effect are further enhanced.
Further, by making the two cushion members 3a ′ and 3b ′ detachable, the thickness of the pad 1 can be arbitrarily adjusted.

Examples of the shape of the cushioning material 3 include those shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (g). The core material 2 used together may have the same shape as the cushion material 3, or may have a different shape. As for the shapes of the core material 2 and the cushion material 3, for example, as shown in FIG. 4 (e), the area of the side part S (FIG. 7) is made larger than the area M (FIG. 7) of the body center side. By doing so, the bust volume can be increased.

As shown in FIG. 5, the brassiere 4 equipped with the pad 1 of the present invention does not need to use a wire, and therefore the cup portion 5
The base 6 of the brassiere and the base 6 of the brassiere can be made to have the same inclination, and the phase K between the cup portion and the base shown in FIG. 9 can be eliminated. By eliminating the phase K between the cup and the base in this way, the barge line 7 of the cup fits the bust more flexibly.

As a method of mounting the pad 1 of the present invention on the cup portion, although not shown, for example, a bag-shaped pad accommodating portion is provided in the cup portion of the clothing having the cup portion, and the pad of the present invention is provided in the pad accommodating portion. The desired pad can be used as the method of inserting the, and the handleability during washing is excellent. In addition, similarly, attachment with a magic tape (registered trademark) can use a desired pad and is excellent in handleability at the time of washing. Also, a mounting method in which only the outer periphery of the pad or the lower side of the pad is sewn to the cup portion is possible. In order to save the work process, as shown in FIG. 6, the core material 2 and the cushion material 3 of the present invention are not integrated, but the core material 2 is covered with the cushion material 3 so that the cup portion 5 is covered. It is also possible to sew.
