Description

Pad for body decoration and method for manufacturing the same

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a pad for dressing body which is used by being attached to various clothes and a manufacturing method thereof. Examples of such pads include shoulder pads or breast pads for clothes such as suits, jackets, dresses, bras, brassieres, tights, full-bodied (including brassieres, tights, and stocking bands), and cubic cut clothes (ボディツェィパ -), swimsuit pads for women, swimsuit pads for sportswear, shoulder pads for sportswear, chest pads, and elbow pads for various sportswear.

Background

Conventionally, such a body-shaping pad has been widely used as a part of a female garment, such as a shoulder pad or a breast pad for clothing such as a suit, a jacket, a brassiere, and a tight fitting garment. These various pads for clothing are formed by molding into shoulder pads, breast pads, or the like, and are attached to the shoulders or chest of women's clothing such as suits, jackets, bras, or tights, to shape the shoulders or breasts, or to make the clothing look proportional.

As the various mats for body decoration, for example, those formed by molding various synthetic resin foams such as polyurethane foam, polyethylene foam, and polyvinyl chloride foam into various predetermined shapes by molding or the like, those formed by covering the surface of a core formed of these synthetic resin foams with an appropriate nonwoven fabric, cloth, or the like, or those formed by molding a fiber sheet as a fiber for nonwoven fabric into a predetermined shape as a core are used.

However, the above-described conventional techniques have the following problems. That is, in the case of using a body-finishing pad made of a synthetic resin foam such as polyurethane among the conventional body-finishing pads, the synthetic resin foam is likely to turn yellow and have poor air permeability, and it is not easy to maintain white color for a long period of time, and it is not easy to maintain the comfort of underwear in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment or the like.

In addition, in the above-mentioned conventional body-shaping pad, in the case of the body-shaping pad using the latter fiber sheet core, although yellowing is not easily caused and air permeability is good, since the fibers constituting the sheet are laid down as shown in fig. 19, it is not easy to maintain a predetermined bulged three-dimensional shape, and the elasticity is poor, particularly, the surface elasticity is low, bulkiness and elasticity in the thickness direction are poor, and it is not easy to highlight the beauty of the shape of the breast or the like.

In the latter cushion for modifying a core member made of a fiber sheet, it is conceivable to erect nonwoven fabric fibers constituting a conventional fiber sheet member by a needle punching step (erecting them with a few fine needles). Since the fibers constituting the body shaping pad core are laid down, the elasticity is poor, particularly the surface elasticity is low, and the bulkiness and the elasticity in the thickness direction are poor, and it is still difficult to make the beauty of the shape such as the breast prominent.

Disclosure of Invention

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cushion for a figure to be decorated which is less likely to turn yellow, has good air permeability, can maintain a predetermined three-dimensional shape for a long period of time, and has good elasticity, particularly good surface elasticity, bulkiness, and good elasticity in the thickness direction, and a method for manufacturing the same.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 provides a cushion for a figure to be decorated for attachment to clothing, comprising a nonwoven fabric in which fibers are oriented in the substantially thickness direction of the cushion for a figure to be decorated, wherein the nonwoven fabric is formed by bonding a plurality of laminated bodies different in kind from each other in fiber density, fiber material or thickness, or elastic modulus to each other in the direction along the surface of the cushion for a figure to be decorated.

The figure-modifying mat according to claim 2 of the present invention is a figure-modifying mat to be attached to a garment, comprising a mat main body and a surface fabric covering the surface of the mat main body, wherein the mat main body is formed in a predetermined shape by heating and compression molding, and the nonwoven fabric is formed by orienting fibers in the direction of the substantial thickness of the figure-modifying mat and bonding a plurality of laminates different in fiber density, fiber material, fiber thickness, or elastic modulus in the direction along the surface of the figure-modifying mat.

A method for producing a body-finishing mat according to claim 3 of the present invention is characterized in that a mat member of a predetermined shape is cut out from a nonwoven fabric block in which fibers are substantially oriented in a predetermined direction, the fibers of the nonwoven fabric are oriented in a substantially thickness direction of the mat member, and the mat member is formed by heating and compression molding, and the nonwoven fabric is formed by bonding a plurality of laminates different in kind from each other in fiber density, fiber material or thickness, or elastic modulus to each other in a direction along a surface of the body-finishing mat.

The method of manufacturing a figure-finishing mat according to claim 4 of the present invention is characterized in that a mat member of a predetermined shape is cut out from a nonwoven fabric block body in which fibers are substantially oriented in a predetermined direction, the fibers of the nonwoven fabric are oriented in a substantially thickness direction of the mat member, and, the nonwoven fabric is formed by bonding a plurality of laminates different in fiber density, fiber material, thickness, or elastic modulus to each other in a direction along the surface of the body-modifying mat, and further, a pad body is formed by forming an adhesive layer on an inner surface of a surface fabric on which a predetermined convex shape is formed in advance, sandwiching a pad member between the convex surface fabric and a back surface fabric via the adhesive layer, and subjecting the pair of front and back surface fabrics and the sandwiched pad member to thermal compression molding, and the peripheral edges of the pair of front and back surface fabrics are bonded together with an adhesive.

As described in claims 1 to 4, the body-finishing mat is formed by thermocompression molding a nonwoven fabric having fibers oriented in the substantially thickness direction of the body-finishing mat into a predetermined shape, and unlike the synthetic resin foam, since the nonwoven fabric is used, yellowing is not easily caused and air permeability is good, and when the body-finishing mat is formed by thermocompression molding, the fibers of the nonwoven fabric constituting the body-finishing mat are oriented substantially in the thickness direction of the body-finishing mat without being collapsed by a pressure applied during thermocompression molding. Therefore, since the nonwoven fabric fibers constituting the body-finishing mat are oriented in the thickness direction of the body-finishing mat, a predetermined three-dimensional shape can be maintained for a long period of time, and the body-finishing mat has high elasticity, particularly high surface elasticity, and good bulkiness and elasticity in the thickness direction. In addition, the body-finishing mat described above has better air permeability because the fibers of the nonwoven fabric constituting the mat are oriented in the thickness direction of the body-finishing mat.

In the method of manufacturing the figure-modifying mat according to claim 4 of the present invention, the surface fabric covering the surface of the core, i.e., the mat member, is a surface fabric formed in advance into a predetermined convex shape, and therefore, the figure-modifying mat is excellent in elasticity, particularly high in surface elasticity, bulkiness and elasticity in the thickness direction, and can be manufactured so as to be covered with the front and back fabrics. That is, in the production of the body-finishing mat, the surface cloth formed in a convex shape is formed in advance or sewn. This is because a considerable pressure is required to bulge the surface fabric to form a convex shape, and this pressure varies depending on the material of the surface fabric. When the cushion member as the core is molded simultaneously with the front and back cloths, the original elasticity and bulkiness of the cushion member are reduced in order to transmit the molding pressure to the front cloth.

Detailed Description

The present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Example 1

FIG. 2 shows a brassiere using the body shaping pad according to example 1 of the present invention.

In fig. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a brassiere as a feminine undergarment. The brassiere 1 is provided with left and right cup portions 2 and 3 for covering the breasts of a female, respectively. The left and right cup portions 2 and 3 are integrally connected by a lower edge connecting portion 4 sewn to the lower side of the left and right cup portions 2 and 3, and left and right side cloths, not shown, sewn to the back side of the female body are sewn to the left and right sides of the lower edge connecting portion 4. A fastener, not shown, comprising hooks, eyes, and the like is sewn to the front end portions of the left and right side cloths. Narrow straps 5, 6 to be hung on shoulders are attached to the upper ends of the triangular shapes of the left and right cups 2, 3, respectively.

As shown in fig. 3, the left and right cups 2 and 3 are each composed of a breast pad 7 serving as a body shaping pad, a surface fabric 8 covering the surface of the breast pad 7, and a back fabric 9 covering the back surface of the breast pad 7.

As shown in fig. 4, the breast pad 7 is composed of a pad body 11 and surface cloths 12a and 12b covering the surface of the pad body 11. The pad body 11 is made of a nonwoven fabric in which the fibers 10 are oriented in the thickness direction of the breast pad 7. For example, as shown in fig. 5(a), the pad body 11 is formed of a single nonwoven fabric 13 having a thickness of about 20cm, and the nonwoven fabric 13 is a laminate of the fibers 10. However, when it is difficult to produce a nonwoven fabric 13 having a thickness of about 20cm, it can be formed by bonding a plurality of nonwoven fabric laminates 13a each having a thickness of about 3cm to 10cm by applying an adhesive 14 as shown in fig. 5 (b). By laminating the nonwoven fabric 13 while dispersing the adhesive, the fibers 10 of the nonwoven fabric 13 are oriented in the thickness direction of the nonwoven fabric 13. The fibers 10 of the nonwoven fabric 13 may be fibers such as polyester fibers. The nonwoven fabric 13 may have a density of 0.005 to 0.1g/cm, for example³The nonwoven fabric of (2) is preferably one having a density of 0.01 to 0.05g/cm³The nonwoven fabric of (1).

However, when the shaping of the body-shaping mat made of the nonwoven fabric is not required, that is, when the nonwoven fabric is formed into a desired shape by merely cutting or the like and press-molding or the like is not performed, the polyester-based fibers or the like may not be used. The density of the nonwoven fabric 13 also differs depending on the purpose of use of the body-building mat, and for example, the density value differs between when high elasticity is required and when flexibility is required. However, from the viewpoint of the cutting processing of the nonwoven fabric, it is required to have hardness that can be easily cut with a knife. Therefore, the density of the nonwoven fabric 13 is exemplary and is not limited to this range.

The surface fabrics 12a and 12b covering the surface of the pad body 11 may be cotton, nylon, polyester, acetate fiber, or a blended fabric or nonwoven fabric thereof, and are preferably made of a material having a good tactile sensation to the skin because they are in direct or indirect contact with the human body.

A film layer 15 is sandwiched between the pad body 11 and the surface cloths 12a and 12b as necessary. The film layer 15 may be any film layer that can seal the gasket body 11 and has washing resistance and solvent resistance. For example, an acrylic resin film layer, a nitrile rubber film layer, a hot melt nylon resin film layer, a polyolefin resin film layer such as polyethylene or polypropylene, a non-discoloring urethane resin film layer, a cloth made of tetrafluoroethylene resin fiber (product name: ゴアテックス (GORE-TEX) manufactured by W.L. ゴア & アソツェィッ), and the like can be used.

When the cushion 7 for body finishing is used for swimwear, the film layer 15 may be made of a non-water-containing material to prevent moisture from being contained in the cushion body 11 and the like.

When the film layer 15 is a net, it is preferable to use a material having elasticity in order to increase the elasticity of the pad itself. In general, even when the film layer 15 is applied, the resin for promoting adhesion is applied to the pad body 11 side of the coarse mesh, and the resin can be spot-bonded to the particulate matter by the adhesive. In particular, in the hot-melt method, the resin is spot-bonded to the fabric or the particles are temporarily fixed to the fabric.

The film layer 15 may be used together with an adhesive without having adhesiveness, and sandwiched between the pad body 11 and the surface cloths 12a and 12b to seal the pad body. The adhesive property itself may be used to bond the peripheral edges of the surface fabric covering the pad body 11, or may be used as an adhesive layer between the peripheral edges of the surface fabric and between the pad body 11 and the surface fabrics 12a and 12 b. The film layer 15 used in the latter is, for example, an acryl-based latex, a nitrile-butadiene latex, a nylon-based hot-melt resin layer, or the like.

The method of manufacturing the body-shaping pad 7 of the present invention can be, for example, a method of cutting (dicing) a pad having a shape of a pad as a predetermined product from a nonwoven fabric piece, and the body-shaping pad 7 having the shape completed in this step can be directly used for various clothes.

The method of manufacturing the body-finishing pad 7 may be, for example, a method of cutting a predetermined-shaped pad from a nonwoven fabric piece and molding the cut pad into the predetermined shape of the body-finishing pad 7 by molding.

In addition, the method of manufacturing the body-finishing pad 7 may be, for example, a method of cutting a predetermined shape from a nonwoven fabric piece, molding the cut predetermined shape into a predetermined shape of a pad member, and covering at least one of the front surface and the back surface of the formed pad member with a front surface fabric or a back surface fabric. In this case, for example, the pad body 11, the resin film constituting the film layer 15, and the surface cloths 12a and 12b may be prepared separately and bonded by a suitable adhesive, but it is preferable that the surface cloths 12a and 12b are laminated so that one surface thereof has wash resistance and solvent resistance, and the film layer 15 exhibiting adhesion is formed by heating and compressing, and the pad body 11 is covered with the surface cloths 12a and 12b by the film layer 15.

That is, as shown in fig. 7, a nonwoven fabric 13 is formed by stacking a plurality of laminated bodies 13a having a thickness of 3cm to 10cm, a rod-shaped body 17 having a predetermined size is cut out from a large block 16 of the nonwoven fabric 13, and as shown in fig. 8, a pad member 18 is cut out from the rod-shaped body 17 by a cutting process, and the pad member 18 has a size and a shape close to the pad body 11. The shape of the cut-out pad member 18 is, as shown in the upper part of fig. 8, a shape in which the thickness is large in the center portion and gradually becomes small toward both end portions. As shown in the lower part of fig. 8, the center part and both end parts may be thick. The shape shown in the upper part of fig. 8 is formed by cutting, for example, and the shape shown in the lower part of fig. 8 is formed by digging to a predetermined shape (cone), for example. However, even if the shape is close to a conical shape as shown in fig. 8, the thickness can be changed by changing the angle of the knife or the like as shown in fig. 9, and the shape can be formed into a conical shape or the like.

As described above, as shown in fig. 10(a), the size and shape of the pad body 11 are directly cut out by cutting and dicing, and the article having the shape completed in this step can be used as the body-finishing pad 7 as it is. In this case, as shown in fig. 10(a), the inner surface of the rod-shaped body 17 is dug out in a conical shape, and then one surface is cut to both surfaces to form the shape of the predetermined body-finishing mat 7.

As described above, as shown in fig. 10(b) and 11, the body shaping pad 7 having a desired shape is also manufactured by cutting the rod-shaped body 17 into a sheet-like shape or a conical shape with a cutting machine and molding the cut sheet-like shape or the conical shape. Further, depending on the product, both sides of the member shown in fig. 10(b) may be cut off, formed into a quadrangular pyramid shape or a triangular pyramid shape as shown in fig. 11(b), and then subjected to thermoforming.

At this time, as shown in fig. 10(a), the mat 7 for figure modification is cut and cut into a quasi-product shape close to the product shape, and then molded into a desired shape.

As shown in fig. 10(c), the surface or the back surface of the cut article by the cutting and slicing process is covered with a surface cloth or a back surface cloth formed by sewing or molding, and a body-shaping mat 7 having a desired shape is manufactured. In this case, the outer periphery of the figure-modifying mat 7 may be hemmed or bound as necessary. The back surface cloth covering the back surface of the pad body 11 may be integrally formed by covering the pad member 18 during the formation, and the surface cloth may be formed by the above-described method. Alternatively, the surface fabric may be formed in advance into a predetermined convex shape, and the cushion member 18 may be formed simultaneously with the back fabric and covered with the coating to cover both the front and back surfaces of the cushion body 11. Alternatively, the back surface fabric may be integrally formed with the member 18 at the same time as the forming thereof, and the surface may be sewn or bonded to a product such as a brassiere without being covered with the back surface fabric. Alternatively, both the front and back surfaces of the pad body 11 may be covered with the front and back materials of a product such as a brassiere, and integrated with the product.

The material suitable for the surface material or the lining material may be, for example, a material having a low tension and a high expansion rate.

Next, a specific method for producing the above-described body-shaping pad will be described. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, a nonwoven fabric 13 is formed by stacking a plurality of laminated bodies 13a having a thickness of about 3cm to 10cm, a rod-shaped body 17 having a predetermined size is cut out from a large block 16 of the nonwoven fabric 13, and as shown in FIG. 8, a pad member 18 is cut out from the rod-shaped body 17 by a cutting process, and the pad member 18 has a size and a shape close to those of the pad body 11. The cross-sectional shape of the cut-out cushion member 18 depends on the compression rate at the time of molding or the like described later, but when the cushion body 11 is formed thick and the compression rate is set high, the elasticity of the cushion body 11 can be set high. When the pad member 18 is formed thin and the compression rate is set low, the pad body 11 can be formed soft. The cushion member 18 itself may be used to form the breast pad 7 as a figure-modifying cushion. At this time, the mat member 18 is cut out such that the fibers 10 of the nonwoven fabric 13 are oriented in the same direction as the pressing direction at the time of molding the mat member 18 as will be described later. As a result, when the pad body 11 is manufactured by molding the pad member 18, the fibers 10 of the nonwoven fabric 13 constituting the pad body 11 are not collapsed by the pressure force at the time of molding and are almost oriented in the thickness direction of the pad body 11.

Next, an adhesive is applied to the surface cloths 12a, 12b, or the surface cloths 12a, 12b are laminated to impart wash resistance and solvent resistance to one surface thereof, and a film layer 15 exhibiting adhesiveness is formed by heating and compressing, and the film layer 15 is formedA pair of surface cloth pieces 12a, 12b slightly larger than one surface of the pad member 18 are formed on the surface cloth, the pad member 1g is sandwiched between the pair of surface cloth pieces 12a, 12b with an adhesive layer or a film layer 15 as an inner side, the pair of surface cloth pieces 12a, 12b and the pad member 18 sandwiched between the pair of surface cloth pieces 12a, 12b are placed on a press-molding machine 19 as shown in FIG. 12, and the temperature and pressure are 200 ℃ and 15kg/cm²G for 1 minute, the peripheral edges of the pair of surface cloths 12a, 12b are bonded with the adhesive layer or the film layer 15 while the pad body 11 is being formed. The forming conditions in the heating compression forming are different depending on the material and thickness of the pad member 18 to be used and the kind of the adhesive to be used, and usually, the temperature is 50 to 250 ℃, preferably 100 to 220 ℃; the force is 0.5 to 10kg/cm²G, preferably 1 to 7kg/Gm²G; the pressing time is about 3 minutes or 5 minutes.

As described above, the body-shaping pad 7 of the above embodiment is formed by forming the nonwoven fabric 13 having the fibers 10 oriented in the substantially thickness direction of the body-shaping pad 7 into a predetermined shape by heating and compression molding, and therefore, unlike the synthetic resin foam, the nonwoven fabric is used, and therefore, yellowing is not easily caused, and air permeability is also good. When the body-finishing mat 7 is formed by the heat compression molding, the fibers 10 of the nonwoven fabric 13 constituting the body-finishing mat 7 are not collapsed by the pressure applied at the time of the heat compression molding, and are oriented almost in the thickness direction of the body-finishing mat 7. Since the fibers 10 of the nonwoven fabric 13 constituting the body-finishing mat 7 are oriented almost in the thickness direction of the body-finishing mat 7, a predetermined three-dimensional shape can be maintained for a long period of time, and the body-finishing mat has high elasticity, particularly surface elasticity, and good bulkiness and thickness-direction elasticity. Further, since the fibers 10 of the nonwoven fabric 13 constituting the body-shaping mat 7 are oriented almost in the thickness direction of the body-shaping mat 7, the air permeability is further improved.

Example 2

Fig. 13 shows embodiment 2 of the present invention. The same portions as those in example 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In example 2, when the pad member was cut out from the nonwoven fabric block, the shape of the pad member was different from that in example 1.

In example 2, as shown in fig. 14, a nonwoven fabric 13 is formed by laminating 1 laminated body 13a having a thickness of about 3 to 10cm, and a rod-shaped body 17 having a predetermined size is cut out from a large block 16 of the nonwoven fabric 13. Then, as shown in fig. 15, the pad member 18 is cut out from the rod-shaped body 17 by an engraving and cutting process, and the bottom surface 18a and the upper surface 18b of the pad member 18 are formed into a conical shape. In this case, the fibers 10 of the nonwoven fabric 13 of the mat member 18 are cut out in the same direction as the pressing direction when the mat member 18 is molded as described later. As a result, when the pad body 11 is manufactured by molding the pad member 18, the fibers 10 of the nonwoven fabric 13 constituting the pad body 11 are oriented almost in the thickness direction of the pad body 11 without being collapsed by the pressure force at the time of molding.

Then, as shown in fig. 15(b), the upper surface 18b side is pressed by the pressing die 41 and the bottom surface 18a side is pressed by the receiving die 42, thereby pressing the pad member 18. At this time, the pressing die 41 is gradually lowered from the upper part, and when the pad member 18 is compressed by the pressing die 41 and the receiving die 42, the gap between the pressing die 41 and the receiving die 42 becomes a predetermined value, and at the time when the pad member 18 is compressed by the pressing die 41 and the receiving die 42 as shown by the solid line together with the reference numeral 40 in fig. 15(b), the pressing die 41 is stopped, and the pad member 18 is heated and compressed by the pressing die 41 and the receiving die 42, whereby molding is performed. In this case, the shape of the cushion member 18 is preferably the shape shown by oblique lines in fig. 15, but the cushion member 18 may be formed into a flat shape by the pressing die 41 and the receiving die 42. Then, the cushion member 18 itself compressed by the pressing die 41 and the receiving die 42 is cut by a cutter 43 as a body shaping pad or as shown in fig. 15, to form the cushion member 40.

Example 3

Fig. 16 and 17 show embodiment 3 of the present invention. The same portions as those in example 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In example 3, the nonwoven fabric block is not formed by stacking materials of the same material, but a nonwoven fabric block formed by stacking structures of different materials or layers is used.

That is, in example 3, as shown in fig. 16, the bulk 17 of the nonwoven fabric is composed of the bulk 16 of the nonwoven fabric 13, and the nonwoven fabric 13 is formed by laminating a plurality of sheet laminates 13a having different densities. The plurality of sheet laminates 13a having different densities are composed of, for example, a soft laminate 13a ', a semi-soft laminate 13a ", and a hard laminate 13 a'" having different densities. The number of the laminates 13a is not limited to 3, and the material, thickness and elastic modulus of the nonwoven fabric fibers may be different from each other in addition to the density. In this case, as shown in fig. 16(b), the laminate 13a is a laminate in which nonwoven fabric fibers are oriented in the longitudinal direction. The block bodies 17 are cut out from the block bodies 16 formed as described above, and if they are used as a brassiere trim body pad, they are formed into a laminated body which is harder in the downward direction by cutting or engraving, as shown in fig. 17.

Other structures and functions are the same as those of embodiment 1, and the description thereof is omitted.

The shape of the pad member 18 cut out from the rod-shaped bodies 17 of the nonwoven fabric 13 may be a right triangle as shown in fig. 18.

Other structures and functions are the same as those of embodiment 1, and the description thereof is omitted.

As described above, the present invention can provide a cushion for a figure to be dressed which is less likely to turn yellow, has good air permeability, retains a predetermined three-dimensional shape for a long period of time, has high elasticity, particularly high surface elasticity, and has good bulkiness and good elasticity in the thickness direction.
