Description

L'invention concerne le domaine des articles textiles et plus particulièrement celui des soutiens-gorge.The invention relates to the field of textile articles and more particularly that of bras.

Un soutien-gorge comprend classiquement deux bonnets destinés à loger les seins d'une utilisatrice, reliés entre eux par une partie intermédiaire. Un dos est fixé à un bord latéral d'un bonnet respectif et comprend des moyens de fixation à l'autre dos afin que le soutien gorge soit maintenu en place sur l'utilisatrice. En outre, une bretelle de soutien joint le bord supérieur d'un bonnet respectif au dos s'étendant depuis le bord latéral de ce bonnet.A bra conventionally comprises two cups for housing the breasts of a user, interconnected by an intermediate portion. A back is attached to a side edge of a respective cap and includes fastening means to the other back so that the bra is held in place on the user. In addition, a support strap joins the upper edge of a respective cup on the back extending from the side edge of this cup.

Il est connu des soutiens-gorge de ce type munis de bonnets présentant chacun une coque souple conformée de manière à présenter une forme concave sensiblement hémisphérique destinée à envelopper les seins de l'utilisatrice. Cependant, les seins de l'utilisatrice peuvent présenter une morphologie sensiblement différente, ce qui fait qu'aucun soutien-gorge n'est en réalité parfaitement adapté à la morphologie des deux seins. De plus, la morphologie ou le volume de la poitrine d'une utilisatrice peut varier sensiblement dans le temps. Le soutien-gorge peut alors se révéler provisoirement inconfortable pour son utilisatrice.It is known bras of this type provided with cups each having a flexible shell shaped so as to have a substantially hemispherical concave shape for wrapping the wearer's breasts. However, the user's breasts may have a substantially different morphology, so that no bra is in fact perfectly adapted to the morphology of the two breasts. In addition, the morphology or volume of a wearer's chest can vary significantly over time. The bra may then prove temporarily uncomfortable for its user.

Aussi, l'invention a pour but de proposer un soutien-gorge exempt des inconvénients précédemment évoqués. En particulier, le but de la présente invention est de proposer un soutien-gorge qui puisse s'adapter parfaitement à la morphologie de la poitrine et qui puisse aussi assurer un bon maintien de la poitrine, sans exercer de pression excessive sur celle-ci.Also, the object of the invention is to propose a bra free from the disadvantages mentioned above. In particular, the object of the present invention is to provide a bra that can adapt perfectly to the morphology of the chest and which can also ensure good chest support without exerting excessive pressure on it.

L'invention porte ainsi sur un soutien-gorge comprenant deux bonnets reliés entre eux destinés à loger les seins d'une utilisatrice et reliés par leur bord latéral respectif à une partie de dos et par leur bord supérieur respectif à une bretelle joignant la partie de dos correspondante, caractérisé en ce que chaque bonnet est constitué d'une pièce en matière textile extensible se présentant sous la forme d'une feuille sensiblement plane lorsque le soutien-gorge est non porté, une majeure partie de la surface de la feuille étant découpée suivant une pluralité d'entailles de longueur limitée disposées tout autour d'une partie intérieure de la feuille, de sorte à former une structure déformable réversiblement propre à être déployée vers l'avant dans une direction essentiellement transversale au plan de la feuille sous l'effet du poids des seins lorsque le soutien-gorge est porté, procurant une mise en volume de ladite feuille conformée à la forme des seins et propre à maintenir les seins.The invention thus relates to a bra comprising two cups connected together for housing the breasts of a user and connected by their respective lateral edge to a back portion and their respective upper edge to a strap joining the part of corresponding back, characterized in that each cup is made of a piece of extensible textile material in the form of a substantially flat sheet when the bra is not worn, a major part of the surface of the sheet being cut along a plurality of notches of limited length disposed around an inner portion of the sheet, so as to form a deformable structure reversibly adapted to be deployed forward in a direction substantially transverse to the plane of the sheet under the effect of the weight of the breasts when the bra is worn, providing a volume of said sheet shaped to the shape of the breasts and clean to maintain the breasts.

La présente invention est donc basée sur la mise en volume d'un bonnet plat à l'état non porté du soutien-gorge, qui est apte à se déformer sous l'effet du poids des seins essentiellement dans une seule direction vers l'avant de la poitrine grâce à la présence de découpes appropriées faites dans la feuille en matière textile constituant le bonnet. Ce faisant, l'invention détourne une technique de découpe et de mise en volume du papier, connue sous le nom de « Kirigami », pour l'adapter de façon surprenante et particulièrement avantageuse au domaine textile et en particulier à celui des soutiens-gorge. En effet, grâce à un agencement approprié des entailles faites à plat dans la feuille de matière textile constituant les bonnets, ces derniers, qui se présentent sous une forme sensiblement plane lorsque le soutien-gorge est non porté, « s'ouvrent » sous l'effet du poids des seins lorsque le soutien-gorge est porté dans une direction privilégiée et unique pointant vers l'avant de la poitrine en enveloppant les seins, de sorte que le soutien-gorge s'applique plus harmonieusement et plus confortablement au buste de l'utilisatrice avec un parfait ajustement à la morphologie des seins de l'utilisatrice, qui permet d'offrir un maintien sans contrainte excessive à la poitrine.The present invention is therefore based on the setting in volume of a flat bonnet in the unworn state of the brassiere, which is able to deform under the effect of the weight of the breasts essentially in a single direction towards the front of the breast by the presence of appropriate cuts made in the sheet of textile material constituting the cup. In doing so, the invention diverts a technique of cutting and volume making paper, known as "Kirigami", to adapt surprisingly and particularly advantageous to the textile field and in particular to that of bras . Indeed, thanks to an appropriate arrangement of the cuts made flat in the sheet of textile material constituting the cups, the latter, which are in a substantially flat shape when the bra is not worn, "open" under the effect of breast weight when the bra is worn in a single, privileged direction pointing to the front of the breast by wrapping the breasts, so that the bra applies more harmoniously and comfortably to the bust of the user with a perfect fit to the breast morphology of the user, which allows to offer support without excessive stress to the chest.

En outre, la structure de maintien des seins ainsi ajourée permet de conserver une grande respirabilité de la peau, ce qui accroît encore le confort au porter. Au surplus, grâce à cette constitution permettant d'avoir des bonnets à plat à l'état non porté du soutien-gorge selon l'invention, ce dernier est rendu très peu volumineux, notamment en regard des soutiens-gorge présentant des bonnets moulés à chaud présentant classiquement une forme concave sensiblement et partiellement hémisphérique. Enfin, en plus de sa fonction technique de maintien des seins, la structure ajourée des bonnets une fois déployée à l'état porté du soutien-gorge, permet de procurer un effet esthétique remarquable, qui peut varier en fonction de la forme et de l'orientation choisies des entailles.In addition, the breast holding structure and openwork allows to maintain high breathability of the skin, which further increases the wearing comfort. In addition, thanks to this constitution allowing to have flat cups in the unworn state of the bra according to the invention, the latter is made very small, especially with respect to bras with cups molded to typically having a substantially concave and partially hemispherical concave shape. Finally, in addition to its technical function of maintaining the breasts, the openwork structure of the cups once deployed in the worn state of the bra, provides a remarkable aesthetic effect, which can vary depending on the shape and shape. selected orientation of the cuts.

Avantageusement, les entailles sont disposées périodiquement dans le plan de feuille.Advantageously, the cuts are arranged periodically in the sheet plane.

Selon un mode de réalisation, au moins une partie des entailles peut être disposée selon un réseau de lignes courbes, constitué par deux ensembles symétriques de lignes s'étendant respectivement de chaque côté d'un axe longitudinal d'un bonnet respectif.According to one embodiment, at least a portion of the notches may be arranged in a network of curved lines, consisting of two symmetrical sets of lines respectively extending on each side of a longitudinal axis of a respective cup.

Avantageusement, la feuille peut comprendre une succession d'entailles disposées selon une pluralité de lignes circulaires concentriques s'étendant au moins dans la partie inférieure d'un bonnet respectif.Advantageously, the sheet may comprise a succession of notches arranged in a plurality of concentric circular lines extending at least in the lower part of a respective cup.

Avantageusement, la feuille comprend des entailles s'étendant sensiblement verticalement au moins à proximité du bord supérieur d'un bonnet respectif.Advantageously, the sheet comprises notches extending substantially vertically at least near the upper edge of a respective cup.

De préférence, les entailles sont de forme rectiligne ou sensiblement curviligne.Preferably, the cuts are of rectilinear or substantially curvilinear shape.

Avantageusement, les entailles présentent une longueur maximale comprise entre 10 et 20 millimètres.Advantageously, the notches have a maximum length of between 10 and 20 millimeters.

Avantageusement, les entailles sont espacées d'au moins 1 millimètre entre elles, préférentiellement de 1 à 5 millimètres.Advantageously, the notches are spaced at least 1 millimeter between them, preferably from 1 to 5 millimeters.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la feuille peut présenter des découpes supplémentaires effectuées suivant un motif d'ornementation et avantageusement disposées dans la partie supérieure d'un bonnet respectif et/ou dans la partie intérieure.According to one embodiment, the sheet may have additional cuts made in an ornamental pattern and advantageously arranged in the upper part of a respective cup and / or in the inner part.

De préférence, la pièce en matière textile est réalisé en tricot monocouche ou multicouche à base de polyamide et d'élasthanne, présentant avantageusement un allongement à 15 Newtons compris entre 10% et 80%, au moins dans un sens et à haute nervosité.Preferably, the piece of textile material is made of polyamide and elastane monolayer or multilayer knit fabric, advantageously having an elongation at 15 Newtons of between 10% and 80%, at least in one direction and at high nervousness.

De préférence, le tricot présente un poids compris entre 250 et 400 g.m2.Preferably, the knit has a weight of between 250 and 400 gm 2 .

Selon un mode de réalisation, chaque bonnet est doublé avec une fine doublure élastique tricotée fixée périphériquement au bonnet.According to one embodiment, each cup is lined with a thin knitted elastic lining attached peripherally to the cup.

Avantageusement, la doublure est réalisée dans une maille légère de l'ordre de 60 g.m2, présentant un allongement à 15 Newtons au moins égal à 130% en longueur et/ou en largeur, et égal ou supérieur à 240% au moins dans un sens.Advantageously, the lining is made in a light mesh of the order of 60 gm 2 , having an elongation at 15 Newtons at least equal to 130% in length and / or in width, and equal to or greater than 240% at least in a meaning.

A strap 5 joins the upper edge 26 of a cup 2 to the corresponding back part 4.

Comme illustré schématiquement à la figure 1, chaque feuille 21 en matière textile, qui peut être une feuille monocouche ou multicouche (complexe de plusieurs matières assemblées par thermocollage par exemple), comporte, dans le plan de la feuille, sur une majeure partie de sa surface, une pluralité d'entailles 22, ou fentes, sensiblement linéaires, traversant toute l'épaisseur de la feuille 21 et disposées tout autour d'une partie intérieure 23 de la feuille 21 exempte d'entailles, préférentiellement de forme discoïdale (surface circulaire) ou ellipsoïdale (surface ovale). La partie intérieure 23 exempte d'entailles 22 constitue de préférence une partie sensiblement centrale de la feuille constituant le bonnet, pouvant être avantageusement décentrée vers le côté intérieur du bonnet (vers la partie centrale du soutien-gorge), de manière à obtenir un effet de rapprochement des seins. Par ailleurs, la surface occupée par la partie intérieure 23 exempte d'entailles 22 dépend de la dimension choisie des entailles 22. Ainsi, plus les entailles sont petites, plus la surface occupée par la partie intérieure 23 est grande.As illustrated schematically in figure 1 each sheet 21 of textile material, which may be a monolayer or multilayer sheet (a complex of several materials assembled by heat-sealing, for example), comprises, in the plane of the sheet, over a major part of its surface, a plurality of notches 22, or slots, substantially linear, passing through the entire thickness of the sheet 21 and arranged all around an inner portion 23 of the sheet 21 free of cuts, preferably of disc shape (circular surface) or ellipsoidal (oval surface) . The nick-free inner portion 22 preferably constitutes a substantially central portion of the bonnet sheet, which may advantageously be off-center to the inner side of the cup (towards the central part of the bra), so as to obtain an effective effect. breasts. Moreover, the area occupied by the notch-free inner portion 23 depends on the selected dimension of the notches 22. Thus, the smaller the notches, the larger the area occupied by the inner portion 23.

Les entailles 22, grâce à leur forme, dimension et orientation appropriée dans le plan de la feuille, sont destinées à permettre une extension de la feuille 21 dans une direction essentiellement transversale au plan de la feuille, soit dans une direction pointant vers l'avant de la poitrine, en conservant une certaine rigidité de la feuille dans des directions transversales à la poitrine, sous l'effet du poids des seins lorsque le soutien-gorge est porté. Dit autrement, la feuille 21 ainsi ajourée grâce aux entailles 22 constitue une structure de maintien déformable réversiblement propre à être déployée vers l'avant permettant d'assurer une mise en volume sensiblement hémisphérique d'un bonnet respectif du soutien-gorge dans la direction pointant vers l'avant de la poitrine sous l'effet du poids des seins lorsque le soutien-gorge est porté, et propre à pouvoir être repliée pour retrouver une configuration sensiblement plane lorsque le soutien-gorge n'est pas porté.The notches 22, thanks to their shape, size and appropriate orientation in the plane of the sheet, are intended to allow an extension of the sheet 21 in a direction substantially transverse to the plane of the sheet, or in a direction pointing forwards. of the breast, maintaining a certain stiffness of the leaf in transverse directions to the chest, under the effect of the weight of the breasts when the bra is worn. In other words, the sheet 21 thus perforated by the notches 22 is a deformable retaining structure reversibly adapted to be deployed forward to ensure a volume substantially hemispherical volume of a respective cup of the bra in the direction pointing to the front of the chest under the effect of the weight of the breasts when the bra is worn, and clean able to be folded to find a substantially flat configuration when the bra is not worn.

La forme de la feuille dépend de la forme et de la taille du soutien-gorge pour lequel elle est prévue, mais elle est préférentiellement de forme allongée sensiblement elliptique et plus particulièrement en forme de larme, avec un grand axe s'étendant entre le bord supérieur du bonnet et le bord inférieur d'un bonnet respectif, par exemple compris entre 100 mm et 160 mm, et un petit axe s'étendant entre les bords latéraux d'un bonnet respectif, par exemple compris entre 50 mm et 130 mm.The shape of the sheet depends on the shape and the size of the bra for which it is intended, but it is preferably of elongated substantially elliptical shape and more particularly in the form of a tear, with a major axis extending between the edge upper cup and the lower edge of a respective cap, for example between 100 mm and 160 mm, and a small axis extending between the side edges of a respective cap, for example between 50 mm and 130 mm.

Les entailles 22 présentent de préférence une longueur maximale comprise entre environ 10 mm et 20 mm, préférentiellement environ 15 mm, et sont disposées périodiquement dans le plan de la feuille 21, de préférence en suivant un réseau de lignes s'étendant tout autour de la partie intérieure 23 de la feuille 21. De manière générale, les entailles 22 soient espacées entre elles dans toutes les directions du plan de la feuille d'au moins 1 millimètres, préférentiellement de 1 mm à 5 mm, avantageusement 3 mm.The notches 22 preferably have a maximum length of between about 10 mm and 20 mm, preferably about 15 mm, and are periodically arranged in the plane of the sheet 21, preferably following a network of lines extending all around the Inner part 23 of the sheet 21. Generally, the notches 22 are spaced apart from each other in all directions of the plane of the sheet by at least 1 millimeter, preferably from 1 mm to 5 mm, advantageously 3 mm.

Au-delà de la forme et de la disposition des entailles 22 dans le plan de la feuille 21, la matière textile de la feuille influence également fortement l'ouverture et la mise en volume de cette dernière sous l'effet du poids des seins lorsque le soutien-gorge est porté. Avantageusement, la feuille 21 de matière textile est réalisée en tricot monocouche ou multicouche (plusieurs tricots assemblés en complexe par thermocollage par exemple), à base de polyamide et d'élasthanne (de préférence environ 40% en poids d'élasthanne par rapport au poids total du tricot). Il présente avantageusement un allongement à 15 Newtons compris entre 10% et 80%, au moins dans un sens. Le poids spécifique du tricot est avantageusement compris entre 250 et 400 g/m2. Par ailleurs, il présente avantageusement une très haute nervosité, indiquée par des caractéristiques en termes de force aller à 30 % d'allongement comprises préférentiellement entre 700 et 900cN. De ce fait, la matière accompagne parfaitement la morphologie des seins et favorise le retour de la feuille 21 dans une configuration sensiblement plane lorsque le soutien-gorge n'est pas porté.Beyond the shape and the arrangement of the notches 22 in the plane of the sheet 21, the textile material of the sheet also strongly influences the opening and the volume of the latter under the effect of the weight of the breasts when the bra is worn. Advantageously, the sheet 21 of textile material is made of monolayer knit or multilayer (several knits thermally bonded complex for example), based on polyamide and elastane (preferably about 40% by weight of elastane relative to the total weight of the knit). It advantageously has an elongation at 15 Newtons of between 10% and 80%, at least in one direction. The specific weight of the knit is advantageously between 250 and 400 g / m 2 . Furthermore, it advantageously has a very high nervousness, indicated by characteristics in terms of force go to 30% elongation preferentially between 700 and 900cN. As a result, the material perfectly accompanies the morphology of the breasts and promotes the return of the sheet 21 in a substantially flat configuration when the bra is not worn.

On va maintenant décrire différentes variantes de disposition des entailles 22 selon différents motifs dans le plan de la feuille 21 prise à plat, permettant d'obtenir une extension de la feuille 21 dans une direction pointant vers l'avant de la poitrine pour une mise en volume de la feuille 21 sous une forme sensiblement hémisphérique apte à maintenir le sein, lorsque le soutien-gorge est porté.Different variants of arrangement of the notches 22 according to different patterns in the plane of the sheet 21 taken flat will now be described, making it possible to obtain an extension of the sheet 21 in a direction pointing towards the front of the chest for a setting. volume of the sheet 21 in a substantially hemispherical form adapted to maintain the breast, when the bra is worn.

Dans le mode particulier de réalisation illustré à la figure 2, la plus grande partie des entailles 22 est disposée dans le plan de la feuille 21 selon un réseau de lignes courbes, préférentiellement équidistantes et parallèles les unes par rapport aux autres, constitué par deux ensembles symétriques de lignes s'étendant respectivement de chaque côté d'un axe longitudinal X passant par la partie intérieure 23 sensiblement centrale de la feuille 21.In the particular embodiment illustrated in FIG. figure 2 , most of the notches 22 are arranged in the plane of the sheet 21 in a network of curved lines, preferably equidistant and parallel to each other, constituted by two symmetrical sets of lines extending respectively on each side of a longitudinal axis X passing through the substantially central inner portion 23 of the sheet 21.

Dans la partie médiane inférieure de la feuille 21 de matière textile constituant un bonnet respectif 2, la pluralité d'entailles 22 successives disposées en ligne forment avantageusement une pluralité de lignes circulaires concentriques s'étendant depuis les bords du bonnet 2 en se rapprochant de la partie intérieure 23 sensiblement centrale de la feuille 21.In the lower middle portion of the sheet 21 of textile material constituting a respective cap 2, the plurality of successive indentations 22 arranged in line advantageously form a plurality of concentric circular lines extending from the edges of the cup 2, approaching the substantially central inner portion 23 of the sheet 21.

En outre, la feuille 21 comprend avantageusement des entailles 22 verticales en partie haute d'un bonnet respectif 2, au moins à proximité du bord supérieur 26 du bonnet et pouvant être alignées verticalement sous forme de plusieurs lignes verticales s'étendant depuis la partie intérieure 23 sensiblement centrale vers le bord supérieure 26 du bonnet. Cette disposition verticale des entailles en partie haute d'un bonnet respectif 2 est préférable pour permettre au bonnet de rester sensiblement plat dans cette partie haute après extension lorsque le soutien-gorge est porté.In addition, the sheet 21 advantageously comprises vertical notches 22 in the upper part of a respective cap 2, at least near the upper edge 26 of the cup and which can be aligned vertically in the form of several vertical lines extending from the inner part. 23 substantially central to the upper edge 26 of the cap. This vertical arrangement of notches in the upper part of a respective cup 2 is preferable to allow the cup to remain substantially flat in this upper part after extension when the bra is worn.

Ce mode de réalisation particulier des bonnets est illustré dans l'état porté du soutien-gorge 1, en référence à la figure 5. Lorsque le soutien-gorge 1 est porté par une utilisatrice, les entailles 22 s'ouvrent sous l'effet du poids des seins, permettant à la feuille 21 de se déployer vers l'avant dans une direction essentiellement transversale au plan de la feuille 21, en épousant la forme des seins et la matière textile entre les entailles 22 ainsi ouvertes s'étend en formant un réseau de lignes croisées 220 constituées par la matière entre les entailles 22, propre à maintenir les seins, s'étendant depuis les bords du bonnet vers la zone centrale 23 projetée en avant sous l'effet du poids des seins.This particular embodiment of the cups is illustrated in the worn state of the bra 1, with reference to the figure 5 . When the bra 1 is worn by a user, the notches 22 open under the effect of the weight of the breasts, allowing the sheet 21 to deploy forward in a direction substantially transverse to the plane of the sheet 21 , marrying the shape of the breasts and the textile material between the notches 22 thus opened extends forming a network of crossed lines 220 constituted by the material between the notches 22, adapted to maintain the breasts, extending from the edges of the bonnet towards the central zone 23 projected forward under the effect of the weight of the breasts.

Selon la variante de la figure 3, dans la partie médiane supérieure de la feuille 21, les entailles 22 constituent deux ensembles de lignes obliques disposées selon des directions distinctes et symétriques dans le plan de la feuille 21 par rapport à l'axe X, s'étendant radialement depuis la partie intérieure 23 sensiblement centrale vers les bords d'un bonnet respectif 2. Il s'avère que cette disposition des entailles 22 dans la partie médiane supérieure de la feuille 21 permet de procurer une configuration de déformation des bonnets 2 particulièrement adaptée pour les côtés du soutien-gorge, c'est-à-dire du côté de la bordure latérale 25 des bonnets, tandis que la disposition des entailles 22 dans la partie médiane supérieure de la feuille 21 telle que décrite en référence à la figure 2 est quant à elle particulièrement adaptée pour le centre du soutien-gorge, c'est-à-dire du côté intérieur des bonnets.According to the variant of the figure 3 in the upper middle part of the sheet 21, the notches 22 constitute two sets of oblique lines arranged in distinct and symmetrical directions in the plane of the sheet 21 with respect to the axis X, extending radially from the inner part 23 It turns out that this arrangement of the notches 22 in the upper middle part of the sheet 21 makes it possible to provide a deformation configuration of the cups 2 which is particularly suitable for the sides of the support. groove, that is to say on the side edge of the cups, while the arrangement of the notches 22 in the upper middle part of the sheet 21 as described with reference to the figure 2 is in turn particularly suitable for the center of the bra, that is to say on the inside of the cups.

Aussi, la variante de la figure 4 illustre une combinaison des deux modes de réalisation précédents, en ce qui concerne la disposition des entailles 22 dans la partie médiane supérieure de la feuille 21, qui reprend celle de la figure 3 du côté de la bordure latérale 25 d'un bonnet respectif 2 et celle de la figure 2 du côté intérieur du bonnet 2.Also, the variant of figure 4 illustrates a combination of the two preceding embodiments, with regard to the arrangement of the notches 22 in the upper middle part of the sheet 21, which takes over that of the figure 3 on the side of the side edge 25 of a respective cap 2 and that of the figure 2 on the inside of the cup 2.

Quel que soit le mode de réalisation, il convient cependant de disposer des entailles verticales en partie haute d'un bonnet respectif 2, comme expliqué en référence à la figure 2. La forme des entailles est préférentiellement sensiblement curviligne, s'agissant des entailles disposées le long des lignes courbes, et rectiligne s'agissant des entailles verticales ou de celles disposées le long des lignes obliques. En outre, des découpes supplémentaires effectuées suivant un motif d'ornementation peuvent avantageusement être disposées en partie haute du bonnet et/ou dans la partie intérieure 23 sensiblement centrale, dans la mesure où, ainsi disposées, de telles découpes ne s'ouvrent pas beaucoup lorsque le soutien-gorge est porté.Whatever the embodiment, it is however necessary to have the vertical notches in the upper part of a respective cup 2, as explained with reference to the figure 2 . The shape of the notches is preferably substantially curvilinear, with regard to notches arranged along the curved lines, and rectilinear with respect to the vertical notches or those arranged along the oblique lines. In addition, additional cuts made in an ornamental pattern may advantageously be arranged in the upper part of the cup and / or in the substantially central inner part 23, insofar as, thus arranged, such cutouts do not open much. when the bra is worn.

Selon un mode de réalisation, chaque bonnet 2 peut être doublé avec une fine doublure élastique tricotée (non représentée), prévue pour s'appliquer préférentiellement sur toute la face externe d'un bonnet respectif 2, de préférence en étant fixée périphériquement à la face externe d'un bonnet respectif 2. En variante, le bonnet peut être doublé avec la fine doublure élastique du côté de sa face interne. Selon un exemple de réalisation, une telle doublure peut être réalisée en matière simple, préférentiellement dans une maille légère de l'ordre de 60 g.m2, et présente un allongement à 15 Newtons au moins égal à 130% (compris entre 180% et 360% et au-delà) en longueur et/ou en largeur, et égal ou supérieur à 240% au moins dans un des deux sens. Elle présente en outre une grande nervosité lui permettant avantageusement de ne pas « pocher » après extension.According to one embodiment, each cup 2 can be doubled with a thin knitted elastic lining (not shown), provided to preferentially apply over the entire outer face of a respective cup 2, preferably being attached peripherally to the face 2. Alternatively, the cup can be doubled with the thin elastic lining on the side of its inner face. According to an exemplary embodiment, such a lining can be made of simple material, preferably in a light mesh of the order of 60 gm 2 , and has an elongation of 15 Newtons at least equal to 130% (between 180% and 360%). % and beyond) in length and / or width, and at least 240% in at least one direction. It also has a great nervousness allowing it advantageously not to "poach" after extension.
