Abstract

A brassiere ( 1 ) includes: a pair of cup parts ( 20 ); a front part ( 2 ) that covers front sides of the pair of cup parts ( 20 ); a band-shaped part ( 4 ) that is connected to the front part ( 2 ), is to be disposed circumferentially under the breasts of a wearer, and is formed of a member that exerts a tightening force; and link parts ( 21 to 24 ) formed of at least four stretchy tape-shaped members for each of the cup parts ( 20 ). Widthwise sides of the respective tape-shaped members are connected to an upper side portion, an upper inner portion, a lower side portion, and a lower inner portion of the cup part ( 20 ), and a side of each of the tape-shaped members opposite to the side connected to the cup part ( 20 ) is connected to either the front part ( 2 ) or the band-shaped part ( 4 ). A center area of lengthwise sides of each of the tape-shaped members is separable from the front part ( 2 ).

Claims

1 . A garment having cup parts that cover breasts, the garment comprising:
 a pair of cup parts;   a front part that covers front sides of the pair of cup parts;   a band-shaped part that is connected to the front part, is to be disposed circumferentially under the breasts of a wearer, and is formed of a member that exerts a tightening force; and   link parts formed of at least four stretchy tape-shaped members for each of the cup parts, in which   widthwise sides of the respective tape-shaped members are connected to an upper side portion, an upper inner portion, a lower side portion, and a lower inner portion of the cup part,   a side of each of the tape-shaped members opposite to the side connected to the cup part is connected to either the front part or the band-shaped part, and   a center area of lengthwise sides of each of the tape-shaped members is separable from the front part.   
     
     
         2 . The garment having cup parts according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the link part is stretchier lengthwise than widthwise.   
     
     
         3 . The garment having cup parts according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an upper skin-side part that is disposed closer to a skin side than the link parts, is connected to upper peripheries of the cup parts, is connected to the front part at a position corresponding to an upper portion of the breasts, and is formed of a member that stretches and contracts vertically; and   a base skin-side part that is disposed closer to the skin side than the link parts, is connected to lower peripheries of the cup parts, is connected to the base-shaped part and the front part at positions corresponding to side portions of the respective breasts, and is formed of a member that stretches and contracts laterally.   
     
     
         4 . The garment having cup parts according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a first link part connected to the upper side portion of the cup part is connected to the front part at a position corresponding to an upper side portion of a corresponding one of the breasts,   a second link part connected to the upper inner portion of the cup part is connected to the front part at a position corresponding to an upper inner portion of the breast,   a third link part connected to the lower side portion of the cup part is connected to the band-shaped part at a position corresponding to a lower side portion of the breast, and   a fourth link part connected to the lower inner portion of the cup part is connected to the band-shaped part at a position corresponding to a lower inner portion of the breast.   
     
     
         5 . The garment having cup parts according to  claim 4 , wherein
 the second link part has a tensile force weaker than any one of the first, third, and fourth link parts.
