Title:
CURVED TAPE AND WOMEN'S CLOTHING WITH CUP EMPLOYING CURVED TAPE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010031415
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a curved tape which can retain a curved shape without using a wire, and also women's clothing with a cup employing the curved tape.

The curved tape 14 has a combination texture formed by overlapping a plurality of woven fabric textures 71, 72 in the thickness direction Z, for curving in the width direction X, wherein the combination texture 70 is so constructed as to provide a higher elasticity at the portions 71i, 72i on the inside of the curve than at the portions 71o, 72o on the outside of the curve. Since the portions 71i, 72i on the inside of the curve exhibit higher elasticity than the portions 71o, 72o on the outside of the curve, the tape is formed into a curved state and the curved shape is retained. Unlike the prior art, the curved shape can be retained without the need of inserting a wire, and the curved tape 14 extending suitably along the lower edge of a cup portion can be attained. Furthermore, a work step of inserting a wire can be eliminated at the time of production.
