Abstract: A brassiere according to one embodiment of the present invention is a clothing article having cup parts for covering the breasts, the clothing article having cup hollow parts each of which is provided along a lower edge of the cup part and has a curved shape, the lower edge portion necessitating a small tensile strength for expanding a space between a front center extremity and a side extremity of the curved shape against a retaining force of the lower edge portion of the curved shape; and expansion suppressing parts each of which extends from a front center end to a side end of the lower edge portion along a shape of the cup part in a lower part of the cup part, has a non-stretchable or poorly-stretchable characteristic, and suppresses expansion of the space between the front center extremity and the side extremity of the lower edge portion.

Abstract: A pad material includes a urethane material satisfying LC?1 and RC?80 where LC represents compression hardness and RC represents compression resilience. In a garment with cup sections in which a pad including the pad material is disposed at least in a lower cup section, it is possible to control clothing pressure applied to lower parts of a bust from the lower cup section and to reduce a total amount of the clothing pressure applied to the bust. Furthermore, flexibility, lightweightness, and fluffiness of the cup sections are enhanced and both shapeability of the bust and comfortability can be achieved.

Abstract: A knitted fabric includes: a first knitted fabric region and a second knitted fabric region. The first region and the second region have different elongations from each other. The knitted fabric further includes buffer regions. The buffer regions are provided in at least one of the first region and the second region so as to be in contact with the first region and the second region. The buffer regions each have an elongation set so that, as the buffer region extends toward either one of the first region and the second region, the difference between the elongation of the buffer region and the elongation of the first region or the second region toward which the buffer region extends is reduced gradually. Between the first region and the second region, there is no boundary line that is substantially parallel to the course direction of the knitted fabric.

A side portion of the front side base section and a side portion of the skin side base section are connected and thereby the first part and the second part are coupled to each other. The first part is movable upward, downward, forward, and backward relative to the second part.

Abstract: Provided is a women's garment with cup parts which make bust top positions look higher, while enabling breasts to appear larger in volume. A women's garment with cup parts has a pair of cup parts, each cup part having a first shaping region for covering a nipple and pressing a breast at the time of putting the cup part on the breast and a second shaping region, located lower than the first shaping region, for pressing the breast, the second shaping region having a volume larger than that of the first shaping region, the cup part having a top on a front face side residing within the first shaping region when seen from the front face side. While the second shaping region pushes the breast up, the first shaping region further presses the pushed-up breast, so the bust top positions look higher, while the breasts appear larger in volume.

Abstract: An endoscopic medical tool is endoscopically inserted into a body cavity in order to eject a member into the body cavity, and includes: a flexible sheath having an inner cavity; an elastically deformable stopper which is provided projecting out toward the inner cavity in a distal end portion of the sheath, and prevents the member which has been loaded inside the sheath from falling out of the sheath; and a pusher which is inserted into the sheath in a freely advancing and retracting manner, and which pushes out and ejects the member from the sheath. In the endoscopic medical tool, the stopper is formed in only a partial region of the inner cavity so that the stopper does not continuously formed over the entire circumference of the inner cavity.

Abstract: A cup-possessing garment 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a pair of cup sections 12 for covering respective breasts and a pair of gathering sections 20 provided so as to cover at least a part of a front face of each cup section 12 in order to gather the pair of cup sections toward the front center, and each of the pair of gathering sections 20 is composed of a first portion 22 attached to a side portion of the cup section 12, and a second portion 24 formed with higher elasticity than the first portion 22 and formed in such a manner that ends of the second portions on the front center side join together in order to connect the first portions 22 to each other on the front center side.
