Description

Soutien-gorge à effet de rapprochement des seins réversible  Reversible breast bracing bra
L'invention concerne de façon générale le domaine des soutiens-gorge et, plus précisément, l'invention concerne un soutien-gorge comprenant deux bonnets reliés entre eux par leur côté intérieur par une partie d'entre-bonnet et comportant des moyens d'ajustement de la distance entre-bonnet situés au niveau de la partie d'entre-bonnet et propres à diminuer ou étendre sélectivement la distance entre-bonnets, lesdits moyens d'ajustement comprenant des moyens d'accrochage réversible des deux bonnets entre eux. The invention relates generally to the field of brassieres and, more specifically, the invention relates to a brassiere comprising two cups interconnected by their inner side by a part of between-cap and having means for adjustment of the distance between cups located at the portion of between cup and adapted to decrease or selectively extend the distance between cups, said adjustment means comprising means for reversibly hooking the two cups between them.
Un tel soutien-gorge est bien connu de l'homme du métier, notamment par l'exemple qu'en donne le document de brevet CN201409464. Ce document de brevet fait en effet connaître un système d'ajustement de la distance entre les bonnets d'un soutien-gorge, permettant d'agir sur le rapprochement ou l'écartement des seins de l'utilisatrice portant le soutien-gorge. Pour ce faire, l'un des bonnets est muni d'une partie d'extension à l'entre-bonnet pourvue à son extrémité d'un bouton destiné à coopérer avec des trous de bouton disposés à intervalles réguliers le long de la périphérie inférieure de l'autre bonnet, de sorte à pouvoir ajuster la distance entre les deux bonnets selon la position du bouton. Cependant, le réglage de la distance entre les bonnets reste contraignant puisqu'il nécessite de se dévêtir au moins partiellement et demande une manipulation laborieuse.  Such a bra is well known to those skilled in the art, in particular by the example given in the patent document CN201409464. This patent document in fact knows a system for adjusting the distance between the cups of a bra, to act on the approximation or the separation of the breasts of the user wearing the bra. To do this, one of the cups is provided with an extension portion at the between-cup provided at its end with a button for cooperating with button holes arranged at regular intervals along the lower periphery. the other cup, so that you can adjust the distance between the two cups according to the position of the button. However, the adjustment of the distance between the cups remains binding since it requires to undress at least partially and requires laborious handling.
On connaît encore d'autres solutions permettant d'amplifier le galbe de la poitrine par un effet de rapprochement des seins (« cleavage ») créé par des systèmes situés à l'entre-bonnet. Ainsi, il est connu des systèmes qui permettent de régler la distance entre les seins en agissant sur la longueur d'une cordelette réunissant les deux bonnets à travers un mécanisme de blocage comprenant un bouton-poussoir, où, lors de l'actionnement, le blocage sur la cordelette est libéré de sorte que la cordelette peut coulisser à loisir à travers le mécanisme de blocage, permettant par exemple en tirant vers le bas sur la cordelette de rapprocher les deux bonnets et ainsi de diminuer l'écart entre les seins. Si cette solution permet d'agir sur la distance entre-bonnet de manière à générer un effet de « cleavage » réglable à volonté, elle n'est toutefois pas pleinement satisfaisante, puisque cet effet ne peut pas être obtenu ni en toute discrétion ni de manière instantanée. On connaît aussi des soutiens-gorge dont les deux bonnets sont réunis par un lacet passant à travers une série d'œillets agencés le long des bords respectifs des côtés intérieurs des deux bonnets, dont le degré de serrage permet d'obtenir un effet de « cleavage » plus ou moins prononcé. Là encore, ce mécanisme permet d'induire un effet de « cleavage » qui est certes efficace, mais qui impose à l'utilisatrice de devoir s'isoler afin de procéder au réglage. Other solutions are known that make it possible to amplify the curve of the breast by a breaststroke effect ("cleavage") created by systems located at the between-cups. Thus, it is known systems that adjust the distance between the breasts by acting on the length of a cord connecting the two cups through a locking mechanism comprising a push button, where, when actuated, the locking on the cord is released so that the cord can slide at will through the locking mechanism, allowing for example by pulling down on the cord to bring the two cups and thus reduce the gap between the breasts. If this solution makes it possible to act on the distance between cups so as to generate an effect of "cleavage" adjustable at will, it is however not entirely satisfactory, since this effect can not be obtained neither in any discretion nor of instant way. Bras are also known whose two cups are joined by a lace passing through a series of eyelets arranged along the respective edges of the inner sides of the two cups, the degree of tightening allows to obtain an effect of " cleavage "more or less pronounced. Again, this mechanism allows to induce a "cleavage" effect which is certainly effective, but which requires the user to have to isolate themselves in order to adjust.
On peut enfin citer des systèmes permettant de rapprocher les seins basés sur l'ajout de coussinets en mousse amovibles dans les bonnets du soutien-gorge. En revanche, bien que les coussinets soient amovibles, la réversibilité de l'effet de « cleavage » reste ici très laborieuse puisqu'il implique dans un premier temps le retrait du soutien-gorge et, dans un second temps, le retrait des coussinets insérés dans les bonnets.  Finally, there are systems for bringing breasts together based on the addition of removable foam pads in the bra cups. On the other hand, although the pads are removable, the reversibility of the effect of "cleavage" remains very laborious here since it involves at first the withdrawal of the bra and, in a second step, the removal of the inserted pads in the cups.
Dans ce contexte, la présente invention a pour but de proposer un soutien-gorge exempt de l'une au moins des limitations précédemment évoquée. En particulier, le but de la présente invention est de proposer un soutien-gorge qui permette d'agir simplement et rapidement sur le rapprochement des seins (« cleavage ») de façon réversible, tout en rendant un tel rapprochement ajustable en toute discrétion.  In this context, the present invention aims to provide a bra free from at least one of the limitations mentioned above. In particular, the object of the present invention is to provide a bra that allows to act simply and quickly on the approach of breasts ("cleavage") in a reversible manner, while making such a reconciliation adjustable in all discretion.
A cette fin, le soutien-gorge de l'invention, par ailleurs conforme à la définition générique qu'en donne le préambule ci-dessus, est essentiellement caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens d'accrochage réversible comprennent un premier élément d'accrochage et un deuxième élément d'accrochage agencés de part et d'autre de la partie d'entre-bonnets et déplaçables l'un par rapport à l'autre entre une position d'accouplement dans laquelle les deux bonnets sont rapprochés et une position de désaccouplement dans laquelle les deux bonnets sont écartés, sous l'action d'une pression appliquée manuellement sur une partie latérale des bonnets opposées à la partie d'entre-bonnet, essentiellement en direction de la partie d'entre-bonnet.  To this end, the bra of the invention, furthermore in conformity with the generic definition given in the preamble above, is essentially characterized in that the said reversible fastening means comprise a first fastening element and a second hooking element arranged on either side of the part of-cups and movable relative to each other between a coupling position in which the two cups are close together and a position of uncoupling wherein the two cups are spaced apart under the action of manually applied pressure on a side portion of the cups opposite the cup portion, substantially towards the cup portion.
Grâce à cet agencement, les moyens d'accrochage réversible permettant d'ajuster la distance entre-bonnet peuvent être manipulés aisément et rapidement par un simple resserrement des bras ou un simple appui des mains sur les côtés des seins, de sorte qu'un seul mouvement suffit pour réaliser l'accouplement des éléments d'accrochage propre à générer l'effet de « cleavage », tandis que le même mouvement permet également le désaccouplement des éléments d'accrochage pour retrouver l'état antérieur du soutien-gorge. With this arrangement, the reversible attachment means for adjusting the distance between cups can be handled easily and quickly by simply tightening the arms or a simple support of the hands on the sides of the breasts, so that only one movement is sufficient to achieve the coupling of the gripping elements clean to generate the effect of "cleavage", while the same movement also allows the uncoupling of the attachment elements to regain the previous state of the bra.
Dans le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le soutien-gorge comprend un organe de guidage du déplacement d'au moins l'un des éléments d'accrochage, l'organe de guidage délimitant un trajet de guidage entre les éléments d'accrochage dans lequel est engagé ledit au moins un des éléments d'accrochage lors du déplacement des deux éléments d'accrochage vers leur position d'accouplement.  In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the bra comprises a member for guiding the displacement of at least one of the fastening elements, the guide member delimiting a guide path between the elements of hooking in which is engaged said at least one of the hooking elements during movement of the two hooking elements to their coupling position.
Cette structure permet avantageusement d'assurer un accouplement guidé des éléments d'accrochage entre eux.  This structure advantageously ensures a guided coupling of the fastening elements between them.
Il est par exemple possible que l'organe de guidage comporte une pente de guidage positive progressant entre les deux éléments d'accrochage, définissant le trajet de guidage propre à assurer l'accouplement guidé des deux éléments d'accrochage.  For example, it is possible for the guiding member to comprise a positive guide slope progressing between the two gripping elements, defining the guiding path suitable for ensuring the guided coupling of the two fastening elements.
Le soutien-gorge comprend préférentiellement des moyens d'assujettissement dudit au moins un des éléments d'accrochage sur le trajet de guidage lors du déplacement des deux éléments d'accrochage vers leur position d'accouplement. Les moyens d'assujettissement permettent avantageusement de forcer le déplacement de l'élément d'accrochage guidé vers et le long du trajet de guidage défini par l'organe de guidage et ainsi vers l'autre élément d'accrochage, de sorte que l'élément d'accrochage guidé puisse à coup sûr s'engager avec l'autre élément d'accrochage auquel il est destiné à être accouplé lors de l'enclenchement de l'effet de « cleavage » par application de la pression latérale.  The brassiere preferably comprises means for securing said at least one of the fastening elements on the guiding path when the two fastening elements move towards their coupling position. The securing means advantageously make it possible to force the displacement of the guided fastening element towards and along the guide path defined by the guide member and thus towards the other fastening element, so that the Guided latching member can surely engage with the other latching member to which it is intended to be coupled when engaging the "cleavage" effect by applying lateral pressure.
Lesdits moyens d'assujettissement peuvent comprendre un aimant monté solidaire dudit organe de guidage et disposé à l'opposé dudit au moins un des éléments d'accrochage par rapport au trajet de guidage.  Said securing means may comprise a magnet mounted integral with said guide member and disposed opposite said at least one of the fastening elements with respect to the guide path.
Selon un mode de réalisation, les éléments d'accrochage comprennent un crochet guidé et un œillet de guidage, l'organe de guidage étant assemblé avec l'œillet de guidage, le trajet de guidage recevant le crochet guidé.  According to one embodiment, the attachment elements comprise a guided hook and a guide eyelet, the guide member being assembled with the guide eyelet, the guide path receiving the guided hook.
Les éléments d'accrochage peuvent être agencés sur la face interne ou externe des bonnets. Dans une variante, les éléments d'accrochage peuvent être agencés entre les bonnets au niveau d'armatures rigides insérées dans le soutien-gorge au niveau de la périphérie inférieure des bonnets. The hooking elements can be arranged on the inner or outer face of the cups. In a variant, the hooking elements can be arranged between the cups at the level of rigid reinforcement inserted into the bra at the lower periphery of the cups.
Préférentiellement, la partie d'entre-bonnet comprend un organe limiteur d'extension agencé entre les bonnets et adapté pour coopérer avec les moyens d'ajustement de la distance entre-bonnet, de façon à limiter l'écartement maximal des bonnets dans la position de désaccouplement des éléments d'accrochage.  Preferably, the bonnet portion comprises an extension limiter member arranged between the cups and adapted to cooperate with the means for adjusting the distance between cups, so as to limit the maximum spacing of the cups in the position. uncoupling of the fastening elements.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, l'organe limiteur d'extension agencé entre les bonnets comporte au moins une pièce en matière textile élastique, dont la limite d'élasticité permet de définir l'écartement maximal des bonnets.  According to a preferred embodiment, the extension limiter member arranged between the cups comprises at least one piece of elastic textile material, whose elastic limit allows to define the maximum spacing of the cups.

La périphérie inférieure 20, 30 de chaque bonnet 2, 3 remonte latéralement de sorte qu'une partie latérale 22, 32 sur le côté extérieur des bonnets 2, 3, opposée à la partie d'entre-bonnet 4 par rapport aux bonnets, est reliée à des bras non représentés formant les parties planes de dos du soutien- gorge 1 , qui sont terminées par des attaches permettant de fermer le dos du soutien-gorge. Par ailleurs, des bretelles 6 relient le haut des bonnets 2, 3 du côté extérieur, aux parties planes de dos. The bra 1 of the invention comprises two cups, respectively a left cup 2 and a right cup 3, which conventionally have a concave shape on the side of their internal face turned towards the skin (substantially and partially hemispherical). Caps 2 and 3 are usually connected between them by their inner side 21, 31 by a short portion of between-cup 4 substantially in the extension of the lower periphery 20, 30 of each cup 2, 3. The portion of-bonnet is arranged according to the invention to accommodate means 5 for adjusting the distance between-bonnet own to generate a breasts approximation effect, as will be seen in more detail later. The lower periphery 20, 30 of each cap 2, 3 rises laterally so that a lateral portion 22, 32 on the outside of the cups 2, 3, opposite to the cup part 4 with respect to the cups, is connected to unrepresented arms forming the flat portions of the back of the bra 1, which are terminated by fasteners for closing the back of the bra. In addition, straps 6 connect the top of the cups 2, 3 on the outside, to the flat parts of the back.
Les moyens 5 d'ajustement de la distance entre-bonnet comportent des moyens d'accrochage réversible, représentés schématiquement sur les figures 1 et 2, qui comprennent un premier élément d'accrochage 51 et un deuxième élément d'accrochage 52, disposés de part et d'autre de la partie d'entre- bonnet 4, et constitués par exemple d'un crochet 51 situé au niveau d'un des bonnets, par exemple le bonnet droit 3 et d'un œillet 52 situé sur l'autre bonnet gauche 2, en vis-à-vis du crochet 51 .  The means 5 for adjusting the distance between cups comprise reversible hooking means, shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2, which comprise a first hooking element 51 and a second hooking element 52, arranged on the one hand and other of the cup portion 4, and constituted for example by a hook 51 located at one of the cups, for example the right cup 3 and an eyelet 52 located on the other cup left 2, vis-à-vis the hook 51.
Le crochet 51 et l'œillet 52 sont destinés à pouvoir être accouplés de façon réversible, de façon à imposer dans leur position d'accouplement un rapprochement des deux bonnets 2 et 3 propre à générer un effet de « cleavage ». Conformément à l'invention, le crochet 51 et l'œillet 52 sont déplaçables l'un par rapport à l'autre depuis leur position de désaccouplement (cf. figure 1 ) vers leur position d'accouplement (cf. figure 2) et inversement, sous l'action d'une pression latérale F appliquée manuellement au niveau de la partie latérale 22, 32 des bonnets 2, 3 essentiellement en direction de la partie d'entre-bonnet 4 de part et d'autre de laquelle sont agencés le crochet 51 et l'œillet 52. Ainsi, l'effet de rapprochement de « cleavage » est rendue ajustable par un simple resserrement des bras de l'utilisatrice portant le soutien-gorge ou encore par un simple appui des mains de l'utilisatrice sur le côté des seins, de façon à exercer ladite pression latérale F sur les bonnets 2, 3 du soutien-gorge.  The hook 51 and the eyelet 52 are intended to be coupled reversibly, so as to impose in their coupling position a bringing together of the two cups 2 and 3 to generate a "cleavage" effect. In accordance with the invention, the hook 51 and the eyelet 52 are movable relative to each other from their uncoupling position (see FIG. 1) to their coupling position (see FIG. under the action of a lateral pressure F applied manually at the side portion 22, 32 of the cups 2, 3 essentially in the direction of the part of between-cup 4 on either side of which are arranged the hook 51 and eyelet 52. Thus, the "cleavage" approaching effect is made adjustable by a simple tightening of the arms of the user wearing the bra or by simply pressing the user's hands on the side of the breasts, so as to exert said lateral pressure F on the cups 2, 3 of the bra.
Plus précisément, comme illustré schématiquement aux figures 1 et 2, le crochet 51 et l'œillet 52 peuvent être situés entre les bonnets au niveau d'armatures rigides de renfort pouvant être insérées dans une bordure terminant la périphérie inférieure 20, 30 des bonnets 2, 3. Un tel agencement permettra de générer un effet de « cleavage » satisfaisant quoique léger, dans la mesure où le rapprochement entre les armatures sera alors limité par l'espace occupé par les éléments d'accrochage dans leur position d'accouplement. More precisely, as illustrated schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hook 51 and the eyelet 52 can be located between the cups at the level rigid reinforcing reinforcements that can be inserted into a border terminating the lower periphery 20, of the cups 2, 3. Such an arrangement will make it possible to generate a "cleavage" effect which is satisfactory although slight, insofar as the connection between the reinforcements will then be limited by the space occupied by the fastening elements in their coupling position.
En variante, le crochet 51 et l'œillet 52 peuvent être situés sur la face interne ou externe des bonnets 2, 3, à une certaine distance de leur périphérie. De la sorte, ils permettront, dans leur position d'accouplement, de générer un effet de « cleavage » plus prononcé du fait que la distance entre les bonnets pourra alors être réduite au maximum.  Alternatively, the hook 51 and the eyelet 52 may be located on the inner or outer face of the cups 2, 3, at a distance from their periphery. In this way, they will, in their coupling position, generate a more pronounced "cleavage" effect because the distance between the cups can then be reduced to the maximum.
Quelle que soit la disposition retenue pour les éléments d'accrochage 51 , 52 de type crochet/œillet des moyens 5 d'ajustement de la distance entrebonnet, leur agencement va maintenant être décrit plus en détail, en référence aux figures 3 à 5, qui illustrent les moyens 5 d'ajustement de la distance entrebonnet en coupe selon le plan P de la figure 1 , conformément à un premier mode de réalisation.  Whatever the arrangement adopted for hooking elements 51, 52 of the hook / eyelet type means for adjusting the interbolt distance, their arrangement will now be described in more detail, with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5, which illustrate the means for adjusting the inter-cup distance in section along the plane P of FIG. 1, according to a first embodiment.
Ainsi, les moyens 5 d'ajustement de la distance entre-bonnet comportent préférentiellement un organe de guidage 53 du déplacement du crochet 51 , apte à guider ce dernier vers l'œillet 52, sous l'action de la pression latérale F induisant le déplacement du crochet 51 et de l'œillet 52 vers leur position d'accouplement. L'organe de guidage 53 constitue en même temps un support pour l'œillet 52 avec lequel il est destiné à être assemblé. Pour ce faire, il comprend une plaque formant support 530 présentant un flanc 531 incliné ayant une pente positive dans la direction de déplacement du crochet 51 vers sa position d'accouplement avec l'œillet 52 et dont l'extrémité libre est prolongé par l'œillet 52 qui y est fixé par un de ses bords, de sorte que l'œillet 52 et la plaque formant support 530 sont situés préférentiellement dans des plans sensiblement parallèles. On parlera par la suite de crochet guidé 51 et d'œillet de guidage 52.  Thus, the means 5 for adjusting the distance between cups preferably comprise a guide member 53 for moving the hook 51, able to guide the latter towards the eyelet 52, under the action of the lateral pressure F inducing the displacement hook 51 and eyelet 52 to their coupling position. The guide member 53 at the same time constitutes a support for the eyelet 52 with which it is intended to be assembled. To do this, it comprises a support plate 530 having an inclined flank 531 having a positive slope in the direction of movement of the hook 51 towards its coupling position with the eyelet 52 and whose free end is extended by the eyelet 52 which is fixed by one of its edges, so that the eyelet 52 and the support plate 530 are preferably located in substantially parallel planes. We will speak later guided hook 51 and guide pin 52.
Le flanc incliné 531 de l'organe de guidage 53, en formant une pente positive progressant entre le crochet guidé 51 et l'œillet de guidage 52, délimite ainsi un trajet de guidage entre le crochet guidé 51 et l'œillet de guidage 52, apte à recevoir le crochet guidé 51 pour opérer la translation de ce dernier selon la direction de la pente vers l'œillet de guidage 52 pour leur accouplement, comme illustré aux figures 4 et 5. The inclined flank 531 of the guide member 53, forming a positive slope progressing between the guided hook 51 and the guide pin 52, thus delimits a guide path between the guided hook 51 and the guide pin 52, adapted to receive the guided hook 51 to operate the translation of the latter in the direction of the slope towards the guide eye 52 for their coupling, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
En outre, un aimant de guidage 54 pourra avantageusement être disposé à l'opposé du crochet guidé 51 par rapport au flanc incliné 531 formant le trajet de guidage de l'organe de guidage 53, de sorte à pouvoir attirer le crochet guidé 51 , avantageusement métallique, et ainsi l'assujettir vers et le long du trajet de guidage 531 lorsque la pression latérale F est appliquée pour induire l'accouplement entre le crochet guidé 51 et l'œillet de guidage 52. L'aimant 54 est préférentiellement monté solidaire de l'organe de guidage 53 et selon l'exemple illustré aux figures 3 à 5, l'aimant 54 est disposé sur une surface supérieure de la plaque formant support 530, sensiblement au pied du flanc incliné 531 de l'organe de guidage 53.  In addition, a guide magnet 54 may advantageously be disposed opposite the guided hook 51 relative to the inclined side 531 forming the guide path of the guide member 53, so as to attract the guided hook 51, advantageously metal, and thus secure it to and along the guide path 531 when the lateral pressure F is applied to induce the coupling between the guided hook 51 and the guide pin 52. The magnet 54 is preferably mounted integral with the guide member 53 and according to the example illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5, the magnet 54 is disposed on an upper surface of the support plate 530, substantially at the foot of the inclined side 531 of the guide member 53.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 6, l'œillet 52 est disposé de manière inclinée vers la plaque formant support 530, et l'aimant de guidage 54 est fixé de façon déportée sur le bord de l'œillet 52 opposé à celui monté sur l'extrémité libre du trajet de guidage 531 .  According to another embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6, the eyelet 52 is inclined towards the support plate 530, and the guide magnet 54 is attached remotely to the edge of the eyelet 52 opposite to that mounted on the free end of the guide path 531.
L'aimant 54 utilisé devra préférentiellement produire un champ magnétique n'excédant pas le seuil de sensibilité des dispositifs de stimulation cardiaque susceptibles d'être portés par une utilisatrice, typiquement 1 mT, de sorte que le soutien-gorge de l'invention puisse être utilisé en toute sécurité dans ces circonstances particulières.  The magnet 54 used should preferably produce a magnetic field not exceeding the sensitivity threshold of the cardiac pacing devices likely to be worn by a user, typically 1 mT, so that the bra of the invention can be used safely in these particular circumstances.
Ainsi, l'organe de guidage 53, en combinaison avec l'action de l'aimant de guidage 54, permet au crochet guidé 51 de s'accoupler immanquablement avec l'œillet de guidage 52 lorsque le crochet guidé 51 et l'œillet de guidage 52 sont induits en déplacement vers leur position d'accouplement sous l'effet de la seule action de la pression latérale F. Dans ce cas, l'organe de guidage 53 sera avantageusement réalisé en matériau plastique de manière à ne pas générer d'interférences entre l'aimant 54 et le crochet guidé 51 , susceptibles de réduire l'efficacité de l'assujettissement.  Thus, the guide member 53, in combination with the action of the guide magnet 54, allows the guided hook 51 to unmistakably engage with the guide pin 52 when the guided hook 51 and the eye of guide 52 are induced in displacement towards their coupling position under the effect of the only action of the lateral pressure F. In this case, the guide member 53 will advantageously be made of plastic material so as not to generate interference between the magnet 54 and the guided hook 51, which can reduce the effectiveness of the subjection.
Une bande isolante magnétique 55 pourra avantageusement être disposée de façon à recouvrir la surface inférieure de la plaque formant support 530 de l'organe de guidage 53, sous l'aimant 54, de façon à empêcher toute attraction du crochet guidé 51 par l'aimant 54 dans une autre direction que celle conduisant vers l'œillet de guidage 52 via le trajet de guidage 531 . De manière avantageuse, la partie d'entre-bonnet 4 est agrémentée d'un organe limiteur d'extension, qui est conçu pour coopérer avec les moyens 5 d'ajustement de la distance entre-bonnet, de façon à limiter l'écartement maximal des bonnets 2, 3 dans la position de désaccouplement du crochet guidé 51 et de l'œillet de guidage 52. A magnetic insulating strip 55 may advantageously be arranged so as to cover the lower surface of the support plate 530 of the guide member 53, under the magnet 54, so as to prevent any attraction of the guided hook 51 by the magnet. 54 in a direction other than that leading to the guide eye 52 via the guide path 531. Advantageously, the bonnet portion 4 is embellished with an extension limiter member, which is adapted to cooperate with the means 5 for adjusting the distance between cups, so as to limit the maximum spacing. cups 2, 3 in the uncoupling position of the guided hook 51 and the guide pin 52.
Ainsi, l'organe limiteur d'extension peut comprendre une pièce en matière textile 56 sous forme d'une bande de tissu préférentiellement élastique, agencée entre les bonnets auxquels elle est fixée par ses extrémités et disposée préférentiellement frontalement par rapport aux moyens 5 d'ajustement de la distance entre-bonnet, masquant ainsi ces derniers. La bande de tissu élastique est conçue pour coopérer avec les moyens 5 d'ajustement de la distance entre-bonnet de manière à limiter l'écartement maximal des bonnets dans la position de désaccouplement du crochet guidé 51 et de l'œillet de guidage 52, l'étirement maximal du tissu lorsque ces éléments d'accrochage sont désaccouplés définissant ainsi la limite à l'écartement entre les bonnets 2, 3. On choisira préférentiellement un tissu élastique en chaîne et trame avec un allongement limité, préférentiellement de l'ordre de 50 à 250%, et relativement « nerveux ». L'élasticité sera en outre unilatérale afin que le tissu ne s'enroule pas sur lui-même lors de son étirement.  Thus, the extension limiter member may comprise a piece of textile material 56 in the form of a preferably elastic band of fabric, arranged between the cups to which it is fixed by its ends and preferably disposed frontally with respect to the means 5 of adjusting the distance between cups, thus masking them. The elastic fabric strip is adapted to cooperate with the means for adjusting the distance between cups so as to limit the maximum spacing of the cups in the uncoupling position of the guided hook 51 and the guide pin 52, the maximum stretching of the fabric when these fastening elements are uncoupled thereby defining the limit to the spacing between the cups 2, 3. We will preferably choose an elastic fabric warp and weft with a limited elongation, preferably of the order of 50 to 250%, and relatively "nervous". The elasticity will be further unilateral so that the fabric does not curl on itself during its stretching.
L'organe limiteur d'extension pourra aussi être conçu de manière à former un fourreau préférentiellement en tissu élastique s'étendant entre les bonnets et entourant les moyens 5 d'ajustement de la distance entre-bonnet, qui se trouvent donc insérés dans ce fourreau. Ce dernier permettra non seulement de camoufler complètement les moyens 5 d'ajustement de la distance entre- bonnet, mais également de former une enveloppe protectrice pour l'utilisatrice vis-à-vis d'eux contre d'éventuels irritations et/ou frottements. Au surplus, le fourreau joue également un rôle de limiteur d'extension propre à limiter ou contrôler l'écartement maximal des bonnets dans la position de désaccouplement des éléments d'accrochage 51 , 52. A cet effet, le fourreau est réalisé avec un tissu élastique présentant les mêmes caractéristiques que celles énoncées plus haut, à savoir un tissu en chaîne et trame avec un allongement limité, préférentiellement de l'ordre de 50 à 250%, et relativement « nerveux ». L'élasticité sera en outre unilatérale afin que le tissu ne s'enroule pas sur lui-même lors de son étirement. Ainsi, l'écartement maximal des bonnets sera limité par l'étirement maximal du tissu formant le fourreau lorsque les éléments d'accrochage 51 , 52 sont désaccouplés. The extension limiting member may also be designed so as to form a sheath preferably of elastic fabric extending between the cups and surrounding means 5 for adjusting the distance between cups, which are thus inserted in this sheath . The latter will not only completely camouflage means for adjusting the distance betweenbonnet, but also to form a protective envelope for the user vis-à-vis them against possible irritation and / or friction. In addition, the sheath also acts as an extension limiter capable of limiting or controlling the maximum spacing of the cups in the uncoupling position of the fastening elements 51, 52. For this purpose, the sheath is made of a fabric elastic having the same characteristics as those mentioned above, namely a warp and weft fabric with limited elongation, preferably of the order of 50 to 250%, and relatively "nervous". The elasticity will be further unilateral so that the fabric does not curl on itself during its stretching. Thus, the maximum spacing cups will be limited by the maximum stretching of the fabric forming the sheath when the fastening elements 51, 52 are uncoupled.
