Abstract

In a sports brassiere, a side-belt portion connects outer ends of a cup portion in a chest circumference direction of a wearer. A shoulder strap portion connects an upper end of the cup portion and an upper end of the side-belt portion over a shoulder of the wearer. On a surface of the cup portion that faces the breasts, an adhesive member is disposed in a peripheral region excluding a central portion of a circular region facing a breast, with an arrangement pattern for restraining movement of the breast on a lower side and a side. The arrangement pattern is a pattern with which an adhesive member is disposed along a diagonal region from below the central portion toward an upper part of a side, on the surface of the cup portion that faces the breasts.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A sports brassiere, comprising:
a cup portion configured to cover breasts of a wearer; a side-belt portion that connects to outer ends of the cup portion and is configured to cover a left side, a back, and a right side of the wearer; a shoulder strap portion that connects an upper end of the cup portion and an upper end of the side-belt portion, wherein the shoulder strap portion is configured to extend over a shoulder of the wearer; and an adhesive member disposed, on a surface of the cup portion that is configured to face the breasts, wherein the cup portion comprises a circular region configured to face a breast, wherein the circular region comprises a central portion configured to cover a nipple of the wearer and a peripheral region excluding the central portion, and wherein the adhesive member is disposed only in the peripheral region with an arrangement pattern configured for restraining movement of the breast on a lower side and a side.

2 . The sports brassiere according to claim 1 , wherein in the arrangement pattern, the adhesive member is disposed in a diagonal region from a part below the central portion toward an upper side part of the peripheral region.

3 . The sports brassiere according to claim 2 , wherein the diagonal region is a region inclined from the part below the central portion toward the upper side part of the peripheral region, at an angle in the range of 30 to 60 degrees with respect to a midline.

4 . The sports brassiere according to claim 1 , wherein the side-belt portion and the cup portion are formed such that contraction force in a chest circumference at an upper edge of the side-belt portion is equal to contraction force in the chest circumference at a lower edge of the side-belt portion and a lower edge of the cup portion.

5 . The sports brassiere according to claim 2 , wherein the side-belt portion and the cup portion are formed such that contraction force in a chest circumference at an upper edge of the side-belt portion is equal to contraction force in the chest circumference at a lower edge of the side-belt portion and a lower edge of the cup portion.

6 . The sports brassiere according to claim 1 , wherein, in the shoulder strap portion, an additional adhesive member is disposed on a portion configured to face an upper part of a shoulder of the wearer.

7 . The sports brassiere according to claim 2 , wherein, in the shoulder strap portion, an additional adhesive member is disposed on a portion configured to face an upper part of a shoulder of the wearer.

8 . The sports brassiere according to claim 1 , wherein, in the shoulder strap portion, an additional adhesive member is disposed on a portion configured to face a middle part of a shoulder blade of the wearer.

9 . The sports brassiere according to claim 2 , wherein, in the shoulder strap portion, an additional adhesive member is disposed on a portion configured to face a middle part of a shoulder blade of the wearer.

10 . The sports brassiere according to claim 1 , wherein the shoulder strap portion is formed of a viscoelastic member.

11 . The sports brassiere according to claim 2 , wherein the shoulder strap portion is formed of a viscoelastic member.

12 . The sports brassiere according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the adhesive member comprises an embossing pattern.

13 . The sports brassiere according to claim 6 , wherein a surface of the additional adhesive member comprises an embossing pattern.

14 . The sports brassiere according to claim 7 , wherein a surface of the additional adhesive member comprises an embossing pattern.

15 . The sports brassiere according to claim 8 , wherein a surface of the additional adhesive member comprises an embossing pattern.

16 . The sports brassiere according to claim 9 , wherein a surface of the additional adhesive member comprises an embossing pattern.

17 . The sports brassiere according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive force of the adhesive member is 0.3 to 0.8 N/20 mm.

18 . The sports brassiere according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive force of the adhesive member is 0.3 to 0.8 N/20 mm.

19 . A sports brassiere, comprising:
a cup portion configured to cover breasts of a wearer; a side-belt portion that connects to outer ends of the cup portion and is configured to cover a left side, a back, and a right side of the wearer; and an adhesive member disposed, on a surface of the cup portion that is configured to face the breasts, wherein the cup portion comprises a circular region configured to face a breast, wherein the circular region comprises a central portion configured to cover a nipple of the wearer and a peripheral region excluding the central portion, wherein the adhesive member is disposed only in a diagonal region located in the peripheral region, from a part below the central portion toward an upper side part of the peripheral region.
