Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bra without back and which can be with or without straps, or with removable straps.
- the strapless bra is known and must overcome the lack of support usually provided by the straps by a particular device.
- the patent FR 2 924 901 in the name of the Applicant discloses a bra comprising a sandwich of thermoformed layers defining two cups and comprising a reinforcing member incorporated in the sandwich in the form of a wafer of rigid material in a direction coextensive with the wafer and elastically flexible in a transverse direction.
- the wafer includes soft fingers disposed under and in the cup. This bra is very satisfying but has a back.
- bra not only without straps but also without back.
- the majority of the many bra proposed for this purpose are adhesive, all or part of the surface in contact with the chest of the user, which can be unpleasant to wear and when to remove the bra.
- the bra may comprise a unitary reinforcement formed of a wire having a torso reinforcement and lateral parts connected to the torso frame, but these lateral parts are lower parts, at the same level as the front one, which do not allow a good balance of the chest.
- the object of the invention is to provide a backless bra and possibly strapless, which nevertheless ensures a good support, comfortable and durable, the chest.
- a basque and cup bra without back, comprising at least an inner textile layer, an outer textile layer, and at least one torso frame and bonnet reinforcements.
- the torso frame being a resiliently arched resilient frame forming a spring shaped to partially enclose the wearer's torso, the reinforcements being shaped to help support the breast in each of the cups of the bra, the torso frame having a substantially horizontal lower main portion corresponding to the front of the torso and the basque portion of the bra, characterized in that the lower main portion is connected to the sides of the torso with two upper side portions .
- the bra may be manufactured as a multilayer complex consisting of textile layers, layers of foam, and layers of laminated glues, the torso frame and the reinforcing pad being disposed in a thermoforming mold between two layers of the complex, preferably between two layers of foam.
- the bra can also be made by making, the textile layers being sewn together and to the reinforcement and reinforcing plates.
- the bra according to the invention may be a dressed bra, a swimsuit bra, or be integrated into an item of clothing.
- the bra 1 of the invention comprises (cf. Figures 6 and 7 ) two cups 2 of strongly concave shape of the inner side (substantially hemispherical), each surrounded downwardly with a portion of Basque 3 and on the side of a lateral portion 4.
- the two cups 2 follow the breasts 11 of the User 10.
- Basque 3 follows the rim of the torso of the wearer on the front and side.
- the bra represented has neither straps nor backs, but the invention could be applied to a bra provided with straps and in particular a system of removable straps.
- the side portions 4 extend on the sides of the user's torso and return very slightly to the back of the user, as shown in FIG. figure 7 .
- the figure 1 shows the basic constitution of the bra 1. It comprises an outer textile layer 7, a torso frame 20, two reinforcing plates 30 and an inner textile layer 8.
- the torso frame 20 is made of rigid metal wire having a certain elasticity. It comprises a low horizontal main portion 21 at the front, surrounded by two horizontal high lateral portions 22 directed rearwardly and located several centimeters from the lower part, for example between 3 and 10 cm.
- the front portion 21 is generally concave on the inside, with the exception of an inversion of curvature in its central portion 23, concave on the outside, to better follow the epigastric hollow.
- the front portion 21 is connected to the upper side portions 22 on the one hand a short horizontal return 24 to the rear and a vertical leg 25 (this branch could possibly join the lower part with curved parts, or be slightly inclined).
- the high horizontal portion 22 continues at the rear by a vertical return 26 directed down.
- the assembly 25, 22, 26 forms an inverted square U-shaped arch which will be placed in the side 4 of the bra below the armpits and will cooperate with the cup reinforcement plates as will be seen later.
- legs 27 placed in different places to facilitate the attachment of the frame to the other elements of the bra 1, namely the textile layers 7, 8 and the reinforcing plates 30.
- the entire frame is made with a single thread.
- the Figures 8 to 10 represent shape variants of the upper lateral part 22 of the armature 20 (the armature of the figure 1 to allow comparison).
- the upper side portion 22 is rather rounded and merges into the rear portion 26 which descends downwardly, so as to form a rounded arch and slightly buckled.
- the upper side portion 22 is zigzag and down to the rear portion 26 with which it merges.
- the rising portion 25 is inclined because it starts farther from the central portion 23 and joins rounded the upper side portion 22, itself rounded and melting in the rear portion 26 which descends downwards.
- the Figures 2 and 3 show an alternative armature 20 shown in its rest state, that is to say corresponding to the bra when it is not worn.
- the lateral parts 24, 25, 22, 26 converge strongly towards one another, essentially because of the curvature (with concavity towards inside) given during manufacture to the horizontal branches 22 and the angle formed between the front portion 21 and the rear return 24.
- the overall width L of the bra at rest is for example of 230 mm, its depth P of 173 mm and the distance between the ends 26 of the side parts only 60 mm. Thanks to the elasticity of the frame, this distance D can expand elastically when the user passes the bra around her torso, and the armature then takes a position closer to what represents the figure 1 .
- each reinforcement plate 30 is on the one hand generally concave inside to form the volume of the cups.
- Each wafer 30 comprises a lateral portion 31, possibly lightened by one or more recesses 32, which extends substantially horizontally towards the center of the brassiere by means of soft and flexible fingers 33, 34, 35 and 36, substantially horizontal, of which the total length increases from the shortest, the upper finger 33, the longer, the lower finger 36. Because of their shape, the fingers are substantially resiliently flexible and can move in a horizontal direction forward or backward of the cap 2; the fingers, on the other hand, do not move in a vertical direction and participate well in supporting the chest.
- the lateral portion 31 is substantially rigid as compared to the fingers due to its more massive and collapsed shape.
- the figure 6 shows in dashed placement of the fingers inside the bra 1.
- the lower finger 36 is advantageously located in the basque 3 just below the cap 2 or at its birth and its length allows it to go practically up to at the half-cup part 6 of the bra.
- the upper finger 33 penetrates little into the cup 2 while the intermediate fingers 34 and 35 gradually penetrate more, the finger 34 to substantially the center of the cup and the finger 35 beyond the center, inwards, in below the middle of the cap.
- the side portions 31 of the plates 30 are retained in place between the torso of the user and other side parts of the torso frame: it is shown on the figure 3l in a double continuous line / dashes the position of the armature with its front branch 21 and, on the sides of the front of the torso, the vertical leg 31 and the horizontal leg 22.
- the arch form of the side portions 25, 22 , 26 of the armature is used to press against the side of the torso the lateral portion 31 of the reinforcing plate whose flexible fingers 33-36 support the chest and give a shape to the cups 2; the weight of the chest is thus partially suspended at the point of contact with the upper torso, located high enough under the arms of the user, and in part resting on the front of the torso by the bottom of the frame.
- the wafer has a multiplicity of small holes, or even here pairs of holes 38, both in the side portion 31 in the fingers 33-34. These holes can be used to attach by sewing the interior textile layers is external 7, 8 to the wafer at various specific locations, when making the bra. In addition, these holes also help to lighten the bra and increase breathability.
- the flat length L1 of the wafer 30 is 280 mm, its overall height H1 is 120 mm and its height H2 at the rear of the side portion 31 is 73 mm.
- the reinforcing plate 30 is made of polycarbonate of the order of 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm, for example 1 mm thick. If it is to be glued to layers, including layers of foam (not shown), its adhesion to the adjacent layers can be enhanced by roughening its surface, although the small holes 38 are also used to let bridges of glue.
- the textile layers 7, 8 are, for example, a knitted fabric of less than one millimeter thick, in particular a knitted jersey made of polyamide and elastane giving a mesh capable of extending in all directions of the plane of the textile surface. They can be associated with layers of foam, for example polyurethane foam layers, of greater or lesser thickness depending on the locations where they are provided and depending on the possible compression they may undergo during a possible step thermoforming during the manufacture of the bra.
- the embodiment of the figure 5 differs from that of the figure 1 in that the armature consists of two parts: on the one hand, the front part 21 with its two returns 24 and, on the other hand, the inverted U-shaped side parts 25, 22, 26, which can be assembled. one to the other by means of connecting pieces 28, 29 respectively provided on the return 24 and the vertical branches 25.
- This constitution in two separate parts that can be assembled to one another can accommodate better certain methods of manufacturing and assembling the bra.
- an anti-slip product for example a silicone gel, to promote the holding in position of the bra.

Description
La présente invention concerne un soutien-gorge sans dos et qui peut être avec ou sans bretelles, ou avec des bretelles amovibles.The present invention relates to a bra without back and which can be with or without straps, or with removable straps.
Les soutien-gorge sans bretelles sont connus et doivent pallier l'absence du soutien habituellement procuré par les bretelles par un dispositif particulier. Le brevet
Or, au moins en certaines occasions, par exemple quand les utilisatrices portent des robes décolletées dans le dos, elles souhaitent disposer de soutien-gorge non seulement sans bretelles mais également sans dos. La majorité des nombreux soutien-gorge proposés dans ce but sont adhésifs, sur tout ou partie de la surface en contact avec la poitrine de l'utilisatrice, ce qui peut être désagréable au porter et au moment d'enlever le soutien-gorge. On a proposé sans succès dans un passé lointain des soutien-gorge incorporant une armature rigide élastique formant ressort autour du torse, par exemple dans le document
Le document
Il en est de même pour le soutien-gorge connu par le document
Le but de l'invention est de proposer un soutien-gorge sans dos et éventuellement sans bretelles, qui assure néanmoins un bon maintien, confortable et durable, de la poitrine.The object of the invention is to provide a backless bra and possibly strapless, which nevertheless ensures a good support, comfortable and durable, the chest.
Le but de l'invention est atteint grâce à un soutien-gorge à basque et à bonnets, sans dos, comportant au moins une couche textile intérieure, une couche textile extérieure, ainsi qu'au moins une armature de torse et des renforcements de bonnet disposés entre les deux couches textiles, l'armature de torse étant une armature rigide élastique arquée formant ressort conformée pour envelopper partiellement le torse de l'utilisatrice, les renforcements étant conformés pour aider à soutenir la poitrine dans chacun des bonnets du soutien-gorge, l'armature de torse comportant une partie principale basse sensiblement horizontale correspondant à l'avant du torse et à la partie de basque du soutien-gorge, caractérisé en ce que la partie principale basse se raccorde sur les côtés du torse à deux parties hautes latérales. Il est entendu qu'on parle d'un raccordement structurel entre ces parties.The object of the invention is achieved by means of a basque and cup bra, without back, comprising at least an inner textile layer, an outer textile layer, and at least one torso frame and bonnet reinforcements. disposed between the two textile layers, the torso frame being a resiliently arched resilient frame forming a spring shaped to partially enclose the wearer's torso, the reinforcements being shaped to help support the breast in each of the cups of the bra, the torso frame having a substantially horizontal lower main portion corresponding to the front of the torso and the basque portion of the bra, characterized in that the lower main portion is connected to the sides of the torso with two upper side portions . It is understood that we are talking about a structural connection between these parties.
On s'est rendu compte que cette constitution et cette forme particulière de l'armature où le contact de l'armature avec le torse se fait à un niveau plus haut latéralement que sur le devant du soutien-gorge, permet un très bon maintien de la poitrine, avec un effet de remontée des seins et évite à la poitrine de tomber en avant.We realized that this constitution and this particular form of the frame where the contact of the armature with the torso is at a higher level laterally than on the front of the bra, allows a very good maintenance of chest, with a rising breasts effect and prevents the chest from falling forward.
L'invention est encore caractérisée en ce qu'elle présente, individuellement ou en combinaison, les caractéristiques avantageuses suivantes.
- Le soutien-gorge est sans bretelles ou bien il comporte un système de bretelles amovibles.
- L'armature de torse est constituée d'un fil rigide élastique, par exemple métallique ou en matière plastique rigide.
- Le fil rigide élastique de l'armature est à section sensiblement ronde, avec éventuellement des formes profilées en longueurs (rainures, nervures). Le diamètre du fil métallique est par exemple compris entre 2 et 4 mm. Plus avantageusement encore, le fil peut avoir une section aplatie, rectangulaire ou en ovale allongée, par exemple de 1 mm d'épaisseur.
- L'armature de torse comprend sur le milieu du devant de sa partie principale une zone concave au milieu de la forme globale convexe de la partie principale. La partie centrale de la partie principale basse peut aussi remonter vers le haut entre les seins, avec une courbe de raccordement avec les portions basses sur le côté ; on comptera encore cette forme comme partie basse sensiblement horizontale, car elle l'est effectivement dans les portions écartées de l'entre-sein.
- Les parties hautes latérales sont formées d'un seul tenant dans le fil rigide élastique formant la partie principale.
- Les parties hautes latérales sont rapportées au fil rigide élastique formant la partie principale.
- Les parties hautes latérales font partie d'une forme sensiblement en arche en U à l'envers. Elles peuvent comprendre une portion sensiblement horizontale, ou une portion arrondie, de sorte que le U renversé est un U carré ou un U rond, ou encore une autre forme moins régulière. Les parties latérales hautes sont jointes à la partie basse principale par des parties montantes, qui peuvent être sensiblement verticales, ou plus ou moins inclinées. L'essentiel est qu'il y ait une différence de hauteur suffisante, de quelques centimètres, en la partie basse et les parties hautes, pour créer un effet de porte-à-faux. Les parties latérales hautes comprennent avantageusement un maximum de hauteur sur le devant de la partie latérale, puis diminuent de hauteur en continuant vers l'arrière sur les côtés. Les parties latérales comprennent des éléments de fixation du renforcement de bonnet.
- L'armature comprend des pattes de solidarisation des couches textiles ou de solidarisation des différentes parties entre elles.
- L'armature est enfermée dans un fourreau textile.
- Le renforcement de bonnet est sous forme sous forme d'une plaquette de matériau rigide dans une direction coextensive à la plaquette et élastiquement flexible dans une direction transversale. Par là, on entend que la plaquette, du fait de sa matière constitutive et de sa géométrie, est rigide et non déformable dans une direction tangente à sa surface, mais elle est déformable élastiquement, dans des proportions d'ailleurs modestes, dans une direction transversale. Autrement dit, il est possible de courber une partie de la plaquette et celle-ci tend à reprendre spontanément sa position non déformée.
- Ladite plaquette comprend des doigts issus d'une région latérale disposée sensiblement à l'extérieur d'un bonnet respectif et coopérant avec la partie latérale haute d'armature. Compte tenu de la géométrie et du matériau, ces doigts sont relativement souples dans une direction perpendiculaire à la surface de la plaquette.
- Ladite plaquette comprend un doigt horizontal s'étendant sensiblement en arc horizontal sous le bonnet, et plusieurs doigts s'étendant dans le bonnet.
- Les doigts de la plaquette ou au moins certains d'entre eux sont conformés à la forme concave de la basque et à celle du bonnet.
- La partie latérale de la plaquette de renforcement peut être allégée par un ou des évidements.
- La plaquette de renforcement comprend une pluralité de trous de solidarisation avec les couches textiles et/ou avec l'armature.
- L'armature élastique coopère avec les plaquettes de renforcement pour maintenir celles-ci en les plaquant partiellement contre le torse : en fait seule la région latérale de plaquette opposée aux doigts est plaquée contre le côté du torse, tandis que les doigts souples, eux, ne sont pas plaqués et maintiennent la poitrine et les bonnets.
- La conformation des doigts peut être obtenue d'emblée par un moulage de la plaquette, par exemple par injection, ou par thermoformage (sous pression et à chaud).
- L'ensemble de la plaquette est conformée selon une forme concave intérieurement.
- Le matériau de la plaquette de renforcement est par exemple un polycarbonate, de préférence dans une épaisseur de 0,5 à 1,2 mm, par exemple 1mm d'épaisseur. Ce matériau est satisfaisant tant du point de vue de sa rigidité élastique que de sa moulabilité. De plus ce matériau est léger et se laisse travailler facilement (découpe). Les doigts ont une largeur qui peut varier selon les modèles mais est par exemple de l'ordre de 1 à 2 cm sur l'essentiel de leur extension, laquelle est de plusieurs centimètres, par exemple entre 2 et 12 cm. On peut aussi utiliser le PET (polyéthylène-téréphtalate), l'ABS (acrylonitrile butadiène styrène). D'autres matériaux rigides thermoplastiques et se thermoformant bien peuvent être choisis dans le groupe comprenant le polystyrène choc, le polyéthylène haute densité, certains polyamides et certains polypropylènes. Le matériau de base de la plaquette peut être couvert de couches textiles ou non-tissées contrecollées, avec éventuellement interposition de mousse, par exemple de mousse de polyuréthanne.
- Les couches textiles peuvent être associées sur tout ou partie de leur surface à des couches de confort, notamment des couches de mousse, telle qu'une mousse de polyuréthanne.
- The bra is strapless or it includes a system of removable straps.
- The torso frame is made of a rigid elastic wire, for example metal or rigid plastic material.
- The rigid elastic wire of the armature is substantially round section, possibly with shaped shapes in lengths (grooves, ribs). The diameter of the wire is for example between 2 and 4 mm. More preferably, the wire may have a flattened section, rectangular or elongated oval, for example 1 mm thick.
- The torso frame comprises on the middle of the front of its main part a concave zone in the middle of the overall convex shape of the main part. The central part of the lower main part can also rise upwards between the breasts, with a connecting curve with the lower portions on the side; this form will still be counted as a substantially horizontal low part, for it is indeed so in the separated portions of the between-breast.
- The upper side portions are integrally formed in the rigid elastic wire forming the main portion.
- The upper side parts are attached to the rigid elastic wire forming the main part.
- The upper side portions are part of a substantially U-shaped arch upside down. They may comprise a substantially horizontal portion, or a rounded portion, so that the U reversed is a square U or a round U, or another less regular shape. The upper side parts are joined to the main lower part by rising parts, which may be substantially vertical, or more or less inclined. The bottom line is that there is a difference in height, a few centimeters, in the lower part and the high parts, to create a door-to-false effect. The upper side portions advantageously comprise a maximum height on the front of the side portion, then decrease in height while continuing rearward on the sides. The side portions comprise fastening elements of the cup reinforcement.
- The reinforcement comprises tabs for securing the textile layers or for securing the different parts together.
- The frame is enclosed in a textile sheath.
- The cup reinforcement is in the form of a wafer of rigid material in a direction coextensive with the wafer and elastically flexible in a transverse direction. By this is meant that the wafer, because of its constituent material and its geometry, is rigid and non-deformable in a direction tangent to its surface, but it is elastically deformable, in otherwise modest proportions, in one direction cross. In other words, it is possible to bend a portion of the wafer and it tends to spontaneously resume its undistorted position.
- Said wafer comprises fingers coming from a lateral region disposed substantially outside a respective cap and cooperating with the upper side armature part. Given the geometry and material, these fingers are relatively flexible in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the wafer.
- Said plate comprises a horizontal finger extending substantially in horizontal arc below the cup, and several fingers extending into the cup.
- The fingers of the wafer or at least some of them are conformed to the concave shape of the basque and that of the cap.
- The lateral portion of the reinforcing plate may be lightened by one or more recesses.
- The reinforcing plate comprises a plurality of fastening holes with the textile layers and / or with the reinforcement.
- The elastic reinforcement cooperates with the reinforcing plates to maintain them by partially plating them against the torso: in fact only the side region of the pad opposed to the fingers is pressed against the side of the torso, while the flexible fingers, them, are not plated and hold the breast and cups.
- The conformation of the fingers can be obtained from the outset by molding the wafer, for example by injection, or by thermoforming (under pressure and hot).
- The entire plate is shaped according to a concave shape internally.
- The material of the reinforcing wafer is for example a polycarbonate, preferably in a thickness of 0.5 to 1.2 mm, by example 1mm thick. This material is satisfactory both from the point of view of its elastic rigidity and its moldability. In addition this material is light and can be easily worked (cutting). The fingers have a width that may vary depending on the model but is for example of the order of 1 to 2 cm over most of their extension, which is several centimeters, for example between 2 and 12 cm. It is also possible to use PET (polyethylene terephthalate), ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). Other thermoplastic and thermoforming rigid materials may be selected from the group consisting of high impact polystyrene, high density polyethylene, certain polyamides and certain polypropylenes. The base material of the wafer may be covered with laminated textile or nonwoven layers, optionally with interposition of foam, for example polyurethane foam.
- The textile layers can be associated on all or part of their surface with comfort layers, especially layers of foam, such as polyurethane foam.
Le soutien-gorge peut être fabriqué sous forme d'un complexe multicouche composé des couches textiles, de couches de mousse, et de couches de colles stratifiées, l'armature de torse et la plaquette de renforcement étant disposée dans un moule de thermoformage entre deux couches du complexe, de préférence entre deux couches de mousse.The bra may be manufactured as a multilayer complex consisting of textile layers, layers of foam, and layers of laminated glues, the torso frame and the reinforcing pad being disposed in a thermoforming mold between two layers of the complex, preferably between two layers of foam.
Le soutien-gorge peut aussi être fabriqué par confection, les couches textiles étant cousues entre elles et à l'armature et aux plaquettes de renforcement.The bra can also be made by making, the textile layers being sewn together and to the reinforcement and reinforcing plates.
Le soutien-gorge selon l'invention peut être un soutien-gorge habillé, un soutien-gorge de maillot de bain, ou être intégré dans un élément de vêtement.The bra according to the invention may be a dressed bra, a swimsuit bra, or be integrated into an item of clothing.

L'armature de torse 20 est réalisée en fil métallique rigide présentant une certaine élasticité. Elle comprend une partie principale basse horizontale 21 à l'avant, entourée par deux parties latérales hautes horizontales 22 dirigées vers l'arrière et situées à plusieurs centimètres de la partie basse, par exemple entre 3 et 10 cm. La partie avant 21 est globalement concave du côté intérieur, à l'exception d'une inversion de courbure dans sa partie centrale 23, concave du côté extérieur, pour mieux suivre le creux épigastrique. La partie avant 21 est reliée au parties latérales hautes 22 par d'une part un retour horizontal court 24 vers l'arrière et une branche verticale 25 (cette branche pourrait éventuellement rejoindre la partie basse avec des parties courbes, ou être légèrement inclinée). La partie horizontale haute 22 se poursuit à l'arrière par un retour vertical 26 dirigé vers le bas. L'ensemble 25, 22, 26 forme une arche en U carré inversé qui sera placée dans le côté 4 du soutien-gorge en dessous des aisselles et coopérera avec les plaquettes de renforcement de bonnet comme on le verra plus loin.

La plaquette de renforcement 30 est réalisée en polycarbonate de l'ordre de 0,8 mm à 1,2 mm, par exemple 1 mm, d'épaisseur. Si elle doit être collée à des couches, notamment des couches de mousse (non représentées), son adhérence aux couches voisines peut être renforcée en dépolissant sa surface, bien que les petits trous 38 servent aussi à laisser passer des ponts de colle.The reinforcing
Les couches textiles 7,8 sont par exemple un textile tricoté de moins d'un millimètre d'épaisseur, notamment un jersey en mélange de polyamide et élasthanne donnant une maille susceptible de s'allonger dans toutes les directions du plan de la surface textile. Elles peuvent être associées à des couches de mousse, par exemple des couches de mousse de polyuréthanne, de plus ou moins d'épaisseur selon les endroits où elles sont prévues et selon l'éventuelle compression qu'elles peuvent subir lors d'une éventuelle étape de thermoformage durant la fabrication du soutien-gorge.The textile layers 7, 8 are, for example, a knitted fabric of less than one millimeter thick, in particular a knitted jersey made of polyamide and elastane giving a mesh capable of extending in all directions of the plane of the textile surface. They can be associated with layers of foam, for example polyurethane foam layers, of greater or lesser thickness depending on the locations where they are provided and depending on the possible compression they may undergo during a possible step thermoforming during the manufacture of the bra.
