Description

La présente invention concerne essentiellement un soutien-gorge constitué d'une feuille en partie adhésive.The present invention essentially relates to a bra consisting of a partially adhesive sheet.

Les soutiens-gorge traditionnels sont constitués d'au moins une pièce de tissu, éventuellement dotée d'une armature métallique. Certains sont démunis de bretelles, mais tous sont constitués d'une boucle telle une ceinture et se refermant devant, sur la poitrine.Traditional bras consist of at least one piece of fabric, possibly with a metal frame. Some have no suspenders, but all are made up of a buckle like a belt and which closes in front of the chest.

Cette présense de l'élément avant interdit leur port avec des vêtements profondément décolletés devant, de même que, dans la plupart des cas, la présence de la boucle arrière interdit leur port avec des vêtements profondément décolletés dans le dos. En outre, leur rigidité les rend visibles sous les vêtements, ce que les utilisatrices peuvent chercher à éviter.This presence of the front element prohibits their wearing with deep neckline clothing in front, just as, in most cases, the presence of the rear loop prohibits their wearing with deep neckline clothing in the back. In addition, their rigidity makes them visible under clothing, which users can try to avoid.

Le brevet US-A-3 276 449 décrit un soutien-gorge qui ne présente pas de jonction entre les deux bonnets sur le devant. Mais ce soutien-gorge comporte un ruban qui passe derrière le cou, et qui ne permet aucun décolleté sur le dos, si l'on veut éviter la vue du soutien-gorge.US-A-3,276,449 describes a bra which does not have a junction between the two cups on the front. But this bra has a ribbon that goes behind the neck, and which allows no neckline on the back, if we want to avoid the sight of the bra.

Les brevets FR-A-2 190 384 et FR-A-2 388 517 décrivent des soutiens-gorge sans bretelle, et le dernier sans jonction entre les bonnets. Dans ces soutiens-gorge, le soutien du sein est réalisé au moyen d'un bonnet classique, les bretelles étant remplacées par des éléments adhésifs placés sous et sur les côtés de chaque sein, en dehors du bonnet, de sorte que la zone dégagée entre les seins n'est pas large et ne permet pas des effets de grands décolleté.The patents FR-A-2 190 384 and FR-A-2 388 517 describe strapless bras, and the latter without junction between the cups. In these bras, breast support is achieved by means of a conventional cup, the straps being replaced by adhesive elements placed under and on the sides of each breast, outside the cup, so that the open area between the breasts is not large and does not allow the effects of large cleavage.

Le soutien-gorge selon l'invention permet de pallier à ces inconvénients. Le soutien-gorge selon l'invention est constitué de deux éléments distincts symétriques. Conformément à l'invention chaque élément de soutien-gorge pour soutenir un seul sein, découpé dans une feuille mince comportant au moins une partie adhésive pour adhérer à la peau, au moins au dessous et/ou sur les côtés du sein, est caractérisé par l'ensemble des éléments suivants:

  • - une forme telle que l'élément s'applique par une partie inférieure en majorité sur le côté latéral externe du sein et se prolonge par une partie formant bretelle et s'étendant jusqu'en un point voisin de l'épaule,
  • - les parties adhésives étant constituées au moins par la partie inférieure et par l'extrémité de la bretelle, de manière à assurer le maintien de l'élément. Réalisé en feuille mince et souple, bien que maintenant parfaitement la poitrine, il est invisible sous les étoffes les plus légères et même légèrement transparentes. Aucune jonction n'existant entre les deux éléments symétriques entre eux, ils sont invisibles sur toutes les hauteurs de décolletés de poitrine, ainsi que de dos. En outre, les éléments adhérants à la peau peuvent être utilisés comme support au tissu même du vêtement ce qui donne de nouvelles possibilités de coupe et de dessin.
The bra according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. The bra according to the invention consists of two distinct symmetrical elements. According to the invention each bra element for supporting a single breast, cut from a thin sheet comprising at least one adhesive part for adhering to the skin, at least below and / or on the sides of the breast, is characterized by all of the following:
  • - a shape such that the element is applied by a lower part mainly on the external lateral side of the breast and is extended by a part forming a strap and extending to a point close to the shoulder,
  • - The adhesive parts being constituted at least by the lower part and by the end of the strap, so as to maintain the element. Made of thin and flexible sheet, although it now perfectly holds the chest, it is invisible under the lightest fabrics and even slightly transparent. No junction existing between the two symmetrical elements between them, they are invisible on all heights of necklines, as well as back. In addition, the elements adhering to the skin can be used as a support for the fabric of the garment, which gives new possibilities for cutting and drawing.

Le soutien-gorge selon l'invention consiste donc en deux éléments symétriques entre eux, constitués d'une feuille ou d'un film au moins partiellement adhérent à la peau et de caractéristiques géométriques telles qu'ils soient aptes, après pose, à soutenir parfaitement les seins en leur laissant la forme désirée.The bra according to the invention therefore consists of two elements which are symmetrical to each other, consisting of a sheet or a film at least partially adherent to the skin and of geometric characteristics such that they are capable, after fitting, of supporting the breasts perfectly leaving them the desired shape.

L'invention est caractérisée par son usage, sa forme et sa matière.The invention is characterized by its use, its shape and its material.

La première partie de la description concerne la forme. Le plus souvent, l'élément soutien-gorge, appelé par la suite élément, est pris dans un film plan. Le sein et la poitrine étant de forme complexe, le dessin de l'élément doit obéir à des règles strictes de façon à donner au sein une forme agréable tout en évitant les plis et malformations locales provoqués par les formes inadéquates.The first part of the description concerns the form. Most often, the bra element, hereinafter called the element, is taken in a flat film. The breast and the chest being of complex shape, the design of the element must obey strict rules so as to give the breast a pleasant shape while avoiding the folds and local malformations caused by the inadequate shapes.

Le dessin fondamental est représenté sur la figure 1. Dans les descriptions et dessins, on parlera toujours du côté droit lorsqu'on regarde le modèle en face.The basic design is shown in Figure 1. In the descriptions and drawings, we will always speak on the right side when looking at the model in front.

L'élément fondamental représenté sur la figure 1 possède une partie inférieure élargie 1 a se situant sous et/ou sur le côté du sein et une partie haute plus étroite 2a montant vers l'épaule pour redescendre ensuite, de préférence, dans le dos, chargée de soutenir le sein et le placer à la hauteur désirée. La forme est également caractérisée par une courbe de droite comprenant une courbe 3 passant sensiblement à l'endroit du pli inférieur du sein et permettant l'inflexion vers le haut, ainsi qu'une courbe 4 à partir d'un point d'inflexion 5 placé légèrement au-dessus d'une ligne horizontale passant par le milieu du sein, de façon que la partie haute sustentatrice ne vienne pas trop vers le cou, mais vers l'épaule, tout en dégageant la partie basse de l'articulation de celle-ci afin de conserver des mouvements aisés.The fundamental element shown in FIG. 1 has an enlarged lower part 1a situated under and / or on the side of the breast and a narrower upper part 2a rising towards the shoulder to then descend, preferably in the back, responsible for supporting the breast and placing it at the desired height. The shape is also characterized by a straight curve comprising a curve 3 passing substantially at the location of the lower fold of the breast and allowing upward inflection, as well as a curve 4 from an inflection point 5 placed slightly above a horizontal line passing through the middle of the breast, so that the upper lifting part does not come too much towards the neck, but towards the shoulder, while freeing the lower part of the joint from that -this to keep movements easy.

La courbe de gauche comprend une première courbe 7 destinée à donner une surface suffisante au film pour soutenir le bas du sein. Cette zone 7 se rapproche de la courbe de droite de façon à ne pas laisser une trop grande largeur au film qui ne suivrait pas le galbe du sein à cet endroit. En 8, un point d'inflexion permet à la courbe de venir progressivement parallèle à la courbe de droite 4. La courbure change à nouveau après un deuxième point d'inflexion 9, situé légèrement au-dessus du point d'inflexion 5.The curve on the left includes a first curve 7 intended to give sufficient surface to the film to support the lower breast. This zone 7 approaches the curve on the right so as not to leave too great a width to the film which would not follow the curve of the breast at this point. At 8, an inflection point allows the curve to come gradually parallel to the right curve 4. The curvature changes again after a second inflection point 9, located slightly above the inflection point 5.

La figure 2 représente une variante légèrement différente sur laquelle on peut voir les courbes et leurs points d'inflexion. Cette forme comporte aussi une partie inférieure large 1 b et une bretelle 2b et convient particulièrement bien aux décolletés à épaules dégagées, la partie haute pouvant venir passer très à l'extérieur alors que les mouvements restent très aisés. Cette forme ne permet pas cependant la même largeur de décolleté au-dessus des seins.Figure 2 shows a slightly different variant on which we can see the curves and their inflection points. This shape also includes a wide lower part 1b and a strap 2b and is particularly suitable for necklines with open shoulders, the upper part being able to pass very outside while the movements remain very easy. This shape does not however allow the same width of neckline above the breasts.

On retrouve sur la courbe de droite un grand rayon 11 sous le sein qui remonte plus nettement sur le dessus de celui-ci; en 12 un point d'inflexion dirige la courbe vers l'extrémité de l'épaule. La courbe de gauche comprend une première partie 14 à grand rayon, un premier point d'inflexion 15 de façon à donner suffisamment de surface à la partie soutenant le dessous du sein, une courbe 16 tendant à se rapprocher très progressivement de la courbe de droite et un deuxième point d'inflexion 17 avant la courbe de la partie haute. Ce déplacement de la surface soutenant le dessus du sein sur la gauche est indispensable pour éviter une déformation de celui-ci lorsque l'axe de traction, matérialisé par la partie haute, est en biais du fait de son accrochage très à l'extérieur de l'épaule.We find on the right curve a large radius 11 under the breast which rises more clearly on top of it; at 12 an inflection point directs the curve towards the end of the shoulder. The left curve includes a first part 14 with a large radius, a first inflection point 15 so as to give sufficient surface to the part supporting the underside of the breast, a curve 16 tending to approach very gradually the right curve and a second inflection point 17 before the curve of the upper part. This displacement of the surface supporting the top of the breast on the left is essential to avoid deformation of the latter when the axis of traction, materialized by the upper part, is biased due to its attachment very outside of the shoulder.

Les deux formes de réalisations des deux premières figures ont cependant la même répartition de courbes et de surfaces et les mêmes points d'inflexion, bien que ceux des points 4 et 17 puissent, à l'extrême, disparaître pour des éléments devant systématiquement passer près, ou même autour, du cou. Dans ce cas, l'élément est illustré par la figure 3. La partie basse 1 possède les mêmes caractéristiques que celles des deux éléments précédents, mais le point d'inflexion de droite et le point d'inflexion supérieure de gauche ont disparu pour laisser la partie haute 2c s'infléchir vers le cou à gauche.The two embodiments of the first two figures, however, have the same distribution of curves and surfaces and the same inflection points, although those of points 4 and 17 can, in the extreme, disappear for elements which must systematically pass close , or even around the neck. In this case, the element is illustrated in FIG. 3. The lower part 1 has the same characteristics as those of the two preceding elements, but the right inflection point and the upper left inflection point have disappeared to leave the upper part 2c bends towards the neck on the left.

Les trois cas étudiés sont de nouveau illustrés sur les dessins des figures 4, 5a, 5b et 6 pour, respectivement, les éléments présentés sur les figures 1, 2 et 3. On voit sur la figure 4 que la bretelle 2 du modèle de la figure 1 passe au milieu de l'épaule, tandis que sur la figure 5a, le bretelle 2 du modèle de la figure 2 passe à l'extérieur, sur le bord de l'épaule, et sur la figure 6, la bretelle 2 du modèle de la figure 3 se place très près du cou. Il n'est pas possible d'élargir la surface de l'adhésif dans la zone où il couvre la partie galbée du sein pour des raisons de géométrie liées à la planéïté de la feuille, cependant il est possible d'ajouter des éléments de surface, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Selon une variante (figure 5b), l'élément adhésif est composé de trois parties fonctionnellement distinctes: la 1 ère est un élément 35 adhésif au sein, la 2ème un élément 36 adhésif à l'épaule, la 3ème une bretelle 37 non adhésive reliant les deux premières.The three cases studied are again illustrated in the drawings of FIGS. 4, 5a, 5b and 6 for, respectively, the elements presented in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. It can be seen in FIG. 4 that the strap 2 of the model of the Figure 1 passes in the middle of the shoulder, while in Figure 5a, the strap 2 of the model of Figure 2 passes outside, on the edge of the shoulder, and in Figure 6, the strap 2 of the Figure 3 model is placed very close to the neck. It is not possible to widen the surface of the adhesive in the area where it covers the curved part of the breast for reasons of geometry related to the flatness of the sheet, however it is possible to add surface elements , without departing from the scope of the invention. According to a variant (FIG. 5b), the adhesive element is composed of three functionally distinct parts: the first is an adhesive element within the breast, the second an element 36 adhesive at the shoulder, the third a non-adhesive strap 37 connecting the two first.

De façon préférentielle, la bretelle 37 sera constituée d'une sorte de ruban en tissu collé ou cousu aux éléments adhésifs dont les caractères géométriques et physiques sont par ailleurs celles décrites précédemment. Cepandant, compte tenu de la souplesse naturelle de la bretelle, une symétrisation de l'élément est possible. De préférence, l'élément tri-partite constitué par la présente invention est livré avec deux feuilles de protection de l'adhésif, détachable par simple pelage, la feuille de protection débordant de l'adhésif généralement du côté de la bretelle.Preferably, the strap 37 will consist of a sort of fabric tape glued or sewn to the adhesive elements whose geometric and physical characters are moreover those described above. However, given the natural flexibility of the strap, symmetrization of the element is possible. Preferably, the tri-partite element constituted by the present invention is delivered with two protective sheets for the adhesive, removable by simple peeling, the protective sheet projecting from the adhesive generally on the side of the strap.

L'élément représenté sur la figure 7 comporte une extension 18, ou surface supplémentaire d'adhérence et de soutien, se détachant partiellement de la partie large 1, de façon à venir se placer sur le dessus du sein. Dans ce cas, l'utilisatrice place son sein en position haute voulue avant de coller la surface supplémentaire, la partie considérée comme surface de base ayant été placée normalement. De cette façon, cette extension de surface participe efficacement au soutien du dessus du sein. On utilisera ce type d'extension essentiellement pour aider à la fixation des vêtements ou garnitures de tissus tels qu'ils seront décrits ci-après. De façon à permettre au film de suivre le galbe voulu, l'extension sera partiellement pré-détachée de la surface de base, tel qu'il apparaît sur le dessin de la figure 7, par la présence de la fente 19.The element shown in Figure 7 has an extension 18, or additional grip and support surface, partially detaching from the wide part 1, so as to be placed on top of the breast. In this case, the user places her breast in the desired high position before gluing the additional surface, the part considered as the base surface having been placed normally. In this way, this surface extension participates effectively in supporting the top of the breast. This type of extension will be used essentially to help fix the clothing or fabric trim as described below. In order to allow the film to follow the desired curve, the extension will be partially pre-detached from the base surface, as it appears in the drawing in FIG. 7, by the presence of the slot 19.

Les trois éléments des figures 1, 2 et 3 sont représentés en superposition sur la figure 8. La partie inférieure 1 est commune aux trois modes de réalisation, tandis que les parties supérieures 2a, 2b et 2c sont nettement divergentes. On a indiqué les points d'inflexion 5, 8, 9 de l'élément de la figure 1, ainsi qu'une extension 18 selon le modèle de la figure 7.The three elements of Figures 1, 2 and 3 are shown superimposed in Figure 8. The lower part 1 is common to the three embodiments, while the upper parts 2a, 2b and 2c are clearly divergent. The inflection points 5, 8, 9 of the element of FIG. 1 have been indicated, as well as an extension 18 according to the model of FIG. 7.

Suivant une caractéristique de l'invention, les éléments adhésifs sont fabriqués à partir de films autocollants, en général du type de ceux utilisés en médecine sous forme de rubans adhésifs. De préférence, on utilisera une matière anallergique.According to a characteristic of the invention, the adhesive elements are produced from self-adhesive films, generally of the type used in medicine in the form of adhesive tapes. Preferably, an anallergic material will be used.

Suivant une caractéristique de l'invention, on utilisera un film en fibres non tissées, perméable à l'air, suffisamment transparent pourqu'il prenne, après la pose, la couleur de la peau. Suivant une autre caractéristique, la couleur originelle du film est chair.According to a characteristic of the invention, a film of non-woven fibers, breathable, sufficiently transparent so that it takes on the color of the skin will be used. According to another characteristic, the original color of the film is flesh.

Suivant l'invention, on peut utiliser un support tissé. Dans ce cas, il est intéressant, pour donner latéralement une grande souplesse favorable à la facilité de pose et au respect des formes et pour donner longitudinalement une bonne tenue mécanique, d'utiliser des fils de trames et chaines aux propriétés différentes, l'élément étant moins extensible dans le sens de la longueur.According to the invention, a woven support can be used. In this case, it is advantageous, to give a great flexibility laterally favorable to the ease of installation and to the respect of the forms and to give longitudinally a good mechanical resistance, to use weft and warp threads with different properties, the element being less lengthwise.

Sont indiqués également le conditionnement des éléments adhésifs, de façon à les rendre utilisables aux utilisatrices, et la méthode de fabrication qui découle du choix du conditionnement. Les éléments sont symétriques entre eux, mais, le plus souvent, n'ont pas chacun d'axe de symétrie. Ils sont proposés par paires étant à usage unique, et présentés en nombre suffisant, égal ou supérieur à une paire.Also indicated are the packaging of the adhesive elements, so as to make them usable for users, and the manufacturing method which results from the choice of packaging. The elements are symmetrical to each other, but, most often, do not each have an axis of symmetry. They are offered in pairs being for single use, and presented in sufficient number, equal to or greater than one pair.

Une présentation préférentielle des éléments selon l'invention consiste en la disposition suivante: les éléments découpés sont collés les uns sur les autres par leur face adhésive, le dernier de l'empilage présentant une face adhésive est collé sur un élément passif réalisé en une matière genre papier ou carton paraffiné ou siliconé, permettant un décollage non dommageable pour le dernier élément. Les éléments symétriques peuvent être collés sur l'autre face de l'élément passif. Ils présentent donc, pour raison de symétrie et retournement, le même profil extérieur que la première série.A preferred presentation of the elements according to the invention consists of the following arrangement: the cut elements are glued to each other by their adhesive face, the last of the stack having an adhesive face is glued to a passive element made of a material such as waxed or siliconized paper or cardboard, allowing take-off that is not harmful to the last element. The symmetrical elements can be glued to the other side of the passive element. They therefore have, for reasons of symmetry and reversal, the same external profile as the first series.

En fabrication, une seule découpe suffit donc, élément passif compris.In manufacturing, a single cut is therefore sufficient, including the passive element.

Selon l'invention, et pour permettre de détacher les éléments à mesure de l'usage, l'extrêmité de la bretelle de ceux-ci ou une autre partie de la forme est dépourvue d'adhésif et peut donc être saisie facilement. Dans ce cas, un prédécoupage, tel que des petites perforations par exemple, permet, après pose de préférence, de détacher facilement la partie excédentaire non garnie d'adhésif, si celle-ci est en extrêmité.According to the invention, and to allow the elements to be detached as they are used, the end of the strap thereof or another part of the shape is devoid of adhesive and can therefore be grasped easily. In this case, a precut, such as small perforations for example, allows, after installation preferably, to easily detach the excess part not covered with adhesive, if it is at the end.

Selon une forme préférentielle le film est d'abord fabriqué en rouleau dont la largeur est égale ou légèrement supérieure à chaque élément. Ce film a la particularité de ne pas être pourvu d'adhésif sur un des deux bords au moins et sur une largeur d'environ 1 cm au moins. La figure 9 montre comment se place la découpe des éléments par rapport à la bande. Les éléments symétriques sont disposés en alternant les parties larges 1 et les bretelles 2 de façon à réduire les pertes en chutes. Des lignes de perforation 30 permettent de séparer facilement l'extrêmité 31 de la bretelle, se trouvant dans la bande 32. L'élément adhésif peut être commercialisé avec une feuille support protectrice facilement décollable, par exemple une feuille de papier enduite de silicone, dont il est décollé juste avant la mise en place. Mais, il peut être mal commode de manipuler un élément de feuille adhésive. Aussi peut-on avantageusement utiliser un support en plusieurs parties (figure 10) enlevables indépendamment les unes des autres, de préférence en deux parties: une partie 20 recouvrant la partie inférieure large 1, et une partie 21 recouvrant la bretelle 2. L'utilisatrice dégarnit d'abord la partie large 1, la met en place, puis place facilement la bretelle en enlevant le reste de la feuille protectrice. La partie médiane de l'élément soutien-gorge peut ou non être adhésive, du moment que la partie large 1 et l'extrêmité de la bretelle sont bien adhésives.According to a preferred form, the film is first manufactured in a roll, the width of which is equal to or slightly greater than each element. This film has the particularity of not being provided with adhesive on at least one of the two edges and over a width of approximately 1 cm at least. Figure 9 shows how the cutting of the elements is placed in relation to the strip. The symmetrical elements are arranged by alternating the wide parts 1 and the straps 2 so as to reduce the losses in falls. Perforation lines 30 make it easy to separate the end 31 of the strap, which is located in the strip 32. The adhesive element can be sold with an easily peelable protective backing sheet, for example a sheet of paper coated with silicone, of which it is lifted off just before placement. However, it may be inconvenient to handle a piece of adhesive sheet. It is therefore advantageous to use a support in several parts (FIG. 10) which can be removed independently of each other, preferably in two parts: a part 20 covering the wide lower part 1, and a part 21 covering the strap 2. The user first strips off the wide part 1, puts it in place, then easily places the strap by removing the rest of the protective sheet. The middle part of the bra element may or may not be adhesive, as long as the wide part 1 and the end of the strap are well adhesive.

Un tel élément est parfaitement supporté pendant une journée et les adhésifs actuels permettent de l'utiliser dans l'eau, sous un maillot de bain.Such an element is perfectly supported for a day and current adhesives allow it to be used in water, under a swimsuit.

Selon une variante, l'élément peut être fabriqué par découpage dans une feuille mince rendue perméable par des microperforations.Alternatively, the element can be manufactured by cutting from a thin sheet made permeable by microperforations.

Selon une variante de l'invention, le film est fabriqué non plus en plan, mais en forme, de façon que l'élément s'adapte mieux au volume du sein. Dans ce cas, on combinera avantageusement la fabrication du support (séchage d'une pâte à papier sur forme, polymérisation d'un film plastique, vulcanisation d'un caoutchouc) et son découpage. On utilisera en particulier des méthodes utilisées pour la fabrication des gants en latex par exemple. Le dépôt de l'agent adhésif peut se faire par projection au pistolet électrostatique par exemple.According to a variant of the invention, the film is no longer made in plan, but in shape, so that the element adapts better to the volume of the breast. In this case, the manufacture of the support will advantageously be combined (drying of a paper pulp on form, polymerization of a plastic film, vulcanization of a rubber) and its cutting. In particular, methods used for the manufacture of latex gloves will be used, for example. The deposition of the adhesive agent can be done by spraying with an electrostatic gun for example.

Suivant une autre variante de l'invention, le film adhésif est remplacé par un film réutilisable ou de préférence une pièce de tissu de forme appropriée, garnie aux endroits conformes à l'invention d'un produit adhésif appliqué à chaque utilisation à l'aide d'un pinceau ou d'une bombe aérosol par exemple. Le produit adhésif combine de préférence des propriétés adhésives suffisantes, anallergiques et de dissolution dans au moins un produit de nettoyage.According to another variant of the invention, the adhesive film is replaced by a reusable film or preferably a piece of fabric of suitable shape, filled at the places in accordance with the invention with an adhesive product applied to each use using a brush or an aerosol can for example. The adhesive product preferably combines sufficient adhesive, hypoallergenic and dissolving properties in at least one cleaning product.

Conformément à l'invention, les caractéristiques nouvelles apportées par ces éléments autorisent une plus grande liberté dans le dessin des vêtements féminins. Outre l'absence d'éléments gênants, les éléments adhésifs permettent un accrochage, ou au moins le maintien des vêtements sur ces éléments adhésifs eux- mêmes, ce qui est impossible dans le cas où les femmes choisissent de ne porter aucun soutien-gorge. Les possibilités nouvelles d'accrochage seront données dans les exemples suivants.In accordance with the invention, the new characteristics brought by these elements allow greater freedom in the design of women's clothing. In addition to the absence of annoying elements, the adhesive elements allow a hanging, or at least the maintenance of clothing on these adhesive elements themselves, which is impossible in the case where women choose not to wear any bra. The new hooking possibilities will be given in the following examples.

Exemple 1Example 1

Une pièce en tissu traditionnellement utilisée pour la confection des soutiens-gorge est accrochée sur l'élément adhésif. Taillées suivant les règles traditionnelles, aptes à leur donner le galbe désiré, ces pièces servent à la fois à donner à l'ensemble une forme plus parfaite et à cacher l'élément adhésif, et éventuellement une plus grande surface, ce que le film n'est pas capable de faire pour des raisons de déformation et d'esthétique. Le dessin de la figure 11 montre l'aspect d'une telle pièce 40, fixée sur un élément du type de celui illustré sur la figure 4 et visible en pointillés.A piece of fabric traditionally used for making bras is hung on the adhesive element. Cut according to traditional rules, able to give them the desired curve, these pieces serve both to give the whole a more perfect shape and to hide the adhesive element, and possibly a larger surface, what the film does. 'is not able to do for reasons of deformation and aesthetics. The drawing in FIG. 11 shows the appearance of such a part 40, fixed on an element of the type of that illustrated in FIG. 4 and visible in dotted lines.

Le même principe est bien sûr applicable aux maillots de bain sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Il en est de même de toute augmentation ou diminution de surface de tissu par rapport au dessin donné en exemple, pour des raisons d'esthétique par exemple.The same principle is of course applicable to swimwear without departing from the scope of the invention. It is the same for any increase or decrease in fabric area compared to the drawing given as an example, for reasons of aesthetics for example.

Le même principe, aux formes près, est utilisable dans le cadre de l'invention à la réalisation de tous vêtements, et en particulier des culottes 41 assorties aux soutiens-gorge en conservant l'accrochage sur adhésif, comme représenté sur la fig. 11.The same principle, except for the shapes, can be used in the context of the invention for the production of all garments, and in particular panties 41 that match the bras while retaining the attachment to adhesive, as shown in FIG. 11.

Exemple 2Example 2

Un maillot de bain en une pièce 43 est très profondément décolleté devant et est accroché en haut autour du cou, comme représenté sur la fig. 12. Les éléments adhésifs du type de celui illustré sur la fig. 6 sont indiqués en pointillés. Le tissu est accroché sur ces éléments. Sans cet accrochage, ce type de coupe de maillots est inemployable pratiquement, parce qu'il ne permet pas les mouvements importants sans découvrir la poitrine. Le même principe est applicable à tous vêtements et en particulier aux robes de soirées ou d'été, qu'elles soient accrochées autour du cou ou munies de bretelles.A one-piece swimsuit 43 has a very deep neckline in front and is hung up around the neck, as shown in fig. 12. The adhesive elements of the type of that illustrated in fig. 6 are indicated by dotted lines. The fabric is hung on these elements. Without this attachment, this type of jersey cut is practically unusable, because it does not allow significant movements without discovering the chest. The same principle is applicable to all clothing and in particular to evening or summer dresses, whether they are hung around the neck or fitted with suspenders.

Exemple 3Example 3

Un haut de vêtement 45, robe ou tunique par exemple, est décolleté sur les épaules et assez profondément devant, comme représenté sur la fig. 13. Habituellement, ce type de vêtement ne tient pas aux épaules et ne permet pas de porter de soutiens-gorge. Selon l'invention, il est fixé au moins aux épaules à l'élément adhésif qui, dans la forme illustrée par la fig. 5, peut être reporté autant à l'extérieur qu'on le désire, sans trop gêner les mouvements.A top of clothing 45, dress or tunic for example, has a neckline on the shoulders and fairly deep in front, as shown in FIG. 13. Usually, this type of clothing does not hold on the shoulders and does not allow to wear bras. According to the invention, it is fixed at least to the shoulders to the adhesive element which, in the form illustrated in FIG. 5, can be carried as far outside as desired, without hampering movement too much.

L'accrochage du vêtement au soutien-gorge comme représenté sur les figures 11, 12 et 13, peut être réalisé de différentes façons. On peut prévoir des petites lacunes dans l'adhésif. Il est ainsi possible de glisser un crochet ou une agrafe entre le film et la peau.The attachment of the garment to the bra as shown in Figures 11, 12 and 13, can be achieved in different ways. Small gaps in the adhesive can be expected. It is thus possible to slide a hook or a staple between the film and the skin.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le film est fabriqué de telle sorte qu'il soit garni au moins partiellement d'adhésif sur les deux faces. Le tissu colle sur la face extérieure ainsi garnie et est maintenu. De façon à favoriser l'adhésion du vêtement, suivant l'invention, celui-ci peut être garni aux endroits concernés d'une pièce, cousue par exemple, et dont la nature est favorable à une bonne adhésion.In another embodiment, the film is manufactured so that it is at least partially filled with adhesive on both sides. The fabric sticks to the exterior surface thus filled and is maintained. In order to promote the adhesion of the garment, according to the invention, it can be lined in the relevant places with a piece, sewn for example, and whose nature is favorable to good adhesion.

En variante, le film est garni aux endroits voulus d'une surface accrochante, éventuellement rapportée, de façon à permettre une récupération. Le vêtement est pourvu de l'élément correspondant.As a variant, the film is lined at the desired locations with a hooking surface, possibly attached, so as to allow recovery. The garment is provided with the corresponding element.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 14, le film est muni de séries de perforations ou fentes, alignées 50 dans la région de l'accrochage. Le film peut être non adhésif suivant la ligne de perforations. Une lame ou tige flexible 51 est introduite avant ou plus généralement après la pose, à travers les perforations, alternativement sous et sur le film. Le vêtement est accroché sur la tige au moyen de petits crochets ou analogue. Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, on peut utiliser les perforations directement pour fixer les crochets ou éléments équivalents, sans utiliser les tiges. Les mêmes moyens peuvent être utilisés pour fixer des pièces de tissus sur un slip.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 14, the film is provided with series of perforations or slots, aligned 50 in the region of the attachment. The film can be non-adhesive along the line of perforations. A flexible blade or rod 51 is introduced before or more generally after installation, through the perforations, alternately under and on the film. The garment is hung on the rod by means of small hooks or the like. Without departing from the scope of the invention, the perforations can be used directly to fix the hooks or equivalent elements, without using the rods. The same means can be used to fix pieces of fabric on a panty.
