Publication number: 20170215491Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2015Publication date: August 3, 2017Inventors: Masaru YUASA, Megumi TACHIIRI, Keiko MASUDA, Masumi FUJII

Patent number: 9011199Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2010Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Inventors: Masaru Yuasa, Megumi Tachiiri, Junko Yamaguchi
