Description

Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Act applies Delivery to each store by Lucien Co., Ltd.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garment having a cup portion, and more particularly to a garment having a cup portion such as a breastfeeding brassiere that can be suitably worn during the breastfeeding period after childbirth.

Clothes having cup portions such as nursing brassieres are often used with a breast milk absorbing pad or the like attached inside the cup portion. Disposable breast milk absorption pads are usually used by being fixed inside the cup portion with a removable member such as double-sided tape, and are replaced as needed. Adhesiveness of this double-faced tape is not so strong, and the adhesiveness is further weakened by bending the breast milk absorbing pad during breastfeeding, and the phenomenon of peeling off of the breast milk absorbing pad tends to occur. In that case, the breast milk-absorbing pad will slide upwards while you are moving, and it will pop out from the upper part of the brassiere, or the breast milk-absorbing pad will come off the nipple and stain your clothes with breast milk. I had a problem. Therefore, there has been proposed a breastfeeding brassiere capable of preventing the mother's milk absorbing pad from slipping and allowing the mother's milk to be reliably absorbed by the breast milk absorbing pad (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-68141 A

Conventional breast-feeding brassieres are devised to provide a holding portion so that the disposable breast-milk-absorbing pad does not shift. However, when trying to replace the paper pad while wearing the nursing brassiere, it is difficult to attach the paper pad to the holding portion. For example, the fixing tapes may stick to each other or stick in places other than the desired location. The fixing tape has a sticking strength that does not damage the fabric of the brassiere sticking position, so once it sticks to another place, it will not have enough sticking strength to re-stick. It may not be obtained. Moreover, these disposable pads for absorbing mother's milk are made of materials such as paper and film, but there is also the problem that the edges of the pads for absorbing mother's milk come into contact with the skin and cause discomfort. In addition, when the cup portion is moved to expose the breast during breastfeeding, the paper pad is stiff and an obstacle. At that time, there is also a problem that the fixing tape is peeled off, and the paper pad tends to shift or come off.

The garment having the cup portion of the present invention is preferably a nursing brassiere.

A clothing having a cup portion of the present invention will be described with an example. However, the present invention is not limited or restricted to the following examples.

(First embodiment)
1 and 2 show a brassiere 100 according to a first embodiment of the clothing having cup portions of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a front view of the brassiere 100 viewed from the front side. FIG. 2 is a view of the vicinity of the cup portion of the brassiere 100 as seen from the rear side. The brassiere 100 of this embodiment is a breastfeeding brassiere comprising a pair of cup portions 101, a cup support portion 102, shoulder straps 103 and a back cloth 104 as main components. The cup support part 102 is provided on the lower edge of the pair of cup parts 101, the shoulder strap 103 is provided on the upper part of the pair of cup parts 101, and the back cloth 104 is provided on the side of the cup part 101. . The cup portion 101 has an outer cloth 105 , a detachable forming member 106 , and a holding portion 107 for holding the forming member 106 .

The holding portion 107 surrounds the peripheral portion of the cup portion 101 and has an opening portion 108 near the center portion of the cup portion. The opening 108 is provided at a position where the part of the breast near the nipple abuts when the brassiere 100 is worn. Through this opening 108, the molding member 106 can be inserted into the space between the holding portion 107 and the outer cloth 105 to be attached or removed.

Nursing brassieres are generally worn with an absorbent pad, such as a disposable breast milk absorbent pad. In the present invention, the molded member 106 can adhere and fix the absorbent pad 109 . The absorbent pad 109 is inserted between the holding portion 107 and the outer cloth 105 in a state in which the absorbent pad 109 is adhered and fixed to the molding member 106 and integrated. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining how the molded member and the absorbent pad are mounted. FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining the structure of the cup portion of the brassiere according to the first embodiment. The absorbent pad 109 is attached to the inner side of the molded member 106 (the side that touches the skin when worn) (Fig. 4, left figure, middle figure). When the absorbent pad 109 is inserted between the holding portion 107 and the outer cloth 105 together with the molding member 106 (right view in FIG. 4), the surface of the absorbent pad 109 is exposed through the opening 108 and is absorbent. A pad 109 abuts the wearer's nipple area.

When the liquid-absorbent pad is made of paper or non-woven fabric, many people have heard the opinion that the periphery of the pad is pressed and cut, so that it is hard and feels prickly when it comes into contact with the skin. In addition, when the absorbent pad is directly attached to clothing such as a brassiere, it may slip up while the wearer is moving, and may protrude from the upper side of the brassiere, or the absorbent surface of the absorbent pad may come off the nipple and stain the clothing. There were many opinions that there is. As in the present invention, with a structure in which the absorbent pad 109 is inserted between the holding portion 107 and the outer cloth 105 together with the molded member 106, the absorbent pad 109 is covered with the cloth so that it does not come into contact with the skin. Moreover, since the absorbent pad 109 is built into the brassiere, it does not slip up.

In the past, the absorbent pad was attached to the inside of the cup with a fixing tape such as double-sided tape. In many cases, cloth is used, and it was difficult to attach the liquid-absorbing pad firmly in close contact with the fixing tape. In particular, it was difficult to replace the liquid-absorbing pad during wearing. Moreover, even if it stuck once, it peeled easily. In the present invention, since the molding member 106 is removed from the brassiere 100 and the liquid absorbent pad 109 is directly attached to the molding member 106, even when the brassiere 100 is being worn, the molding member 106 to be attached can be picked up and It can be attached firmly. Further, in the present embodiment, since the molded member 106 has a structure that does not come into direct contact with the skin, it is not necessary to make the molded member 106 pleasant to the touch. Therefore, the surface of the molding member 106 to which the absorbent pad 109 is adhered can be made of a material such as a fabric with little fuzz, which allows the fixing tape to be easily adhered and not easily peeled off.

In this embodiment, the holding portion 107 is composed of two members, a first holding portion 107A and a second holding portion 107B. 1st holding|maintenance part 107A and 2nd holding|maintenance part 107B are arrange|positioned facing each other so that at least one part of the edge part of each holding|maintenance part may overlap so that the peripheral part of the cup part 101 may be surrounded. The first holding portion 107A and the second holding portion 107B are fixed to the cup support portion 102 at the lower edge, and fixed to the outer cloth 105 or the back cloth 104 at the side edge and front center side edge. However, the edge portion on the bust top point side is not fixed to other members constituting the brassiere 100 . With the holding portions 107 (107A, 107B) having such a structure, the opening portion 108 can be widened by opening the holding portions to the left and right. Therefore, compared with a so-called doughnut-shaped opening having a hole in the vicinity of the center, it is possible to easily attach and detach the molded member and the absorbent pad, which is preferable.

In FIG. 2, the first holding portion 107A is a side holding portion provided on the side of the cup portion 101, and the second holding portion 107B is a front holding portion provided on the front side of the cup portion 101. . The side holding portion (first holding portion 107A) and the front holding portion (second holding portion 107B) are arranged so that at least a portion of the upper and lower portions of the cup portion 101 overlap. By arranging the molded member 106 (and the absorbent pad 109) so that at least a portion thereof overlaps in this manner, the molded member 106 (and the absorbent pad 109) may fall off during breastfeeding or the like with the molded member (and the absorbent pad 109) inserted. can be prevented.

In the present embodiment, the first holding portion 107A and the second holding portion 107B have a shape that can be opened to the left and right, but are not limited to this. The first holding portion 107A and the second holding portion 107B may be arranged so that the edges on the side of the bust top point are not fixed to other members, for example, they may be vertically arranged and opened vertically. is also possible.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the overlapping portion of the first holding portion 107A and the second holding portion 107B overlaps so that the first holding portion 107A is on the upper side (skin side) in the upper part, In the lower part, it overlaps so that the 2nd holding|maintenance part 107B may become an upper side (skin side). By staggering the overlaps in this way, it is possible to prevent sagging of the fabric in the portions of each holding portion that are not fixed to other members. In addition, when the bust volume is large and the bust height is high, each holding part expands to the left and right, and after breastfeeding, when the bust volume is small and the bust height is low, each holding part expands slightly. Close and follow the bust. Even when the volume of the bust changes in this way, each holding part is prevented from being stretched or wrinkled due to sagging. It gets better.

It is preferable that the holding portion 107 has lower stretchability than the outer cloth 105 . As the outer cloth 105 forming the cup portion 101, a stretchable material can be used. Since the outer cloth 105 has high elasticity, it can accommodate changes in the size of the bust before and after breastfeeding, and can be well fitted to the body. On the other hand, the holding part 107 has a lower stretchability than the outer cloth 105, so that even when the outer cloth 105 is stretched to conform to the body, the molded member 106 (and the liquid absorbent pad 109) can be held at a certain level. can be fixed in position. As the outer cloth 105, bare cotton sheeting, two-way tricot, power net, or the like can be used. When the holding portion 107 is made to have low elasticity, usable materials include cotton sheeting, mesh, tricot, triconet, and the like.

If the holding part 107 is made of water-absorbing and quick-drying fabric, even if breast milk adheres to the surface of the holding part 107 and gets wet during breastfeeding, the holding part 107 quickly absorbs water and dries. possible and preferable.

As for the outer cloth 105, if the right and left outer cloths 105 are separately prepared and arranged so as to be superimposed at the front central portion as in the present embodiment, it is preferable that one side of the breast is easily exposed during breastfeeding. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the right and left outer cloths prepared separately may be connected, or a one-piece design that covers the chest including the left and right busts may be used.

In the brassiere 100 of this embodiment, the pair of shoulder straps 103 are integrally formed with the pair of cup portions 101 (outer cloth 105). The pair of shoulder straps 103 are formed integrally with the back cloth 104 on the back side, and the members of the shoulder straps 103 on the back side are connected to the side of the cup portion 101 . Here, the shoulder strap 103 is not limited to a wide, so-called round type strap like a tank top like the brassiere 100 of this embodiment, as long as it suspends the cup portion 101 from the shoulder. Moreover, it is not limited to a mode in which the same fabric is integrally formed, and for example, a different material such as a string or a cloth tape may be used. The form of the shoulder straps 103 is not limited to the form in which the pair of shoulder straps 103 corresponding to the pair of cups 101 are connected to the upper portion of the cups 101 and the back cloth 104, respectively. The shoulder straps 103 may be integrated and attached to the back cloth 104 . Also, a so-called “halter neck” type in which the shoulder strap 103 is attached only to the cup portion 101 may be used. The attachment position of the shoulder strap 103 can be determined by the shape of the cup portion 101 and the design of the clothing having the cup portion.

The cup support part 102 is provided at a position along the underbust. The cup support portion 102 may be formed as a separate member from the cup portion 101, or may be integrally formed. For example, by arranging an elastic tape or the like on the cup supporting portion 102, it is possible to prevent slippage or the like during wearing and obtain a good wearing feeling.

In the brassiere of this example, the detachable connecting locking portion 110 is provided near the center of the back, but the back cloth 104 may also have no connecting locking portion 110 . A hook (for example, hook and eye), a gripper, a button, a string, a hook-and-loop fastener, or the like can be appropriately selected and used as the connection locking portion 110 according to the design and application. When using the hook-and-eye, gripper, or button, it is preferable to provide a plurality of fastening positions in advance so that the degree of tightening can be finely adjusted. In addition, you may use another kind of latching tool other than the above. Also, a front hook type in which the back cloth does not have a connection locking part, or a type in which the back cloth or the front part is tied and locked may be used.

In the present embodiment, in the upper overlapping portion of the first holding portion 107A and the second holding portion 107B, the upper side of the first holding portion 107A and the upper side of the second holding portion 107B are separated from each other from the viewpoint of handling. , preferably sewn on. However, the sewn portion is preferably not sewn (fixed) to the outer cloth 105 . As described above, if the stretchability of the outer cloth 105 and the holding portion 107 are different, the fitting to the body may be affected by the provision of the fixing points. In addition, regardless of whether or not there is a difference in stretchability, if there is no stitching to the front cloth 105 at the aforementioned locations, the stitches when viewed from the front side can be eliminated, and the appearance can be improved.
