DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a breast cup for women's clothing. In particular, the present invention relates to a breast cup for women's clothing that allows a wearer's breast to be centered, the shape of the breast to be substantially conical, and the apex of the bust to be shaped into a beautiful round shape.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, women's clothing having a breast cup, for example, a foundation having a breast cup such as a brassiere, a long-line bra, a bistier, a body suit, a three-in-one, a teddy, a bra camisole or a bra slip. Clothing, such as swimwear and swimwear, have bulging breast cups that are applied to the breasts of the wearer, and clothing with these breast cups is widely used as clothing for women.

[0003] These breast cups may be a single piece, or a front cup made of a relatively thin material such as lace, tricot or other knitted or woven fabrics may be provided on the breast cup for further decorativeness. Or, in general, it is composed of at least two or more pieces of cloth provided with a back cover or the like as necessary from the viewpoint of touch.

Conventionally, the structure of a breast cup of clothing having a breast cup which is most commonly employed will be described by taking a bra as an example. FIG. 13 is a perspective view of an example of a conventional brassiere viewed from substantially the front side.

[0005] In this example, the breast cup 120 is connected to the upper cup portion 121 and the lower cup portion by a joint line 123 which extends from the front center side of the cup to the side side of the cup through substantially the vicinity of the center of the cup. The two members 122 are joined together. In addition, the cup hole means a substantially semicircular cup edge indicated by 124 at the lower side of the cup. The sewing at the connecting line 123 is sewn with darts as is well known so that the cup swells. Such a cup formed by joining two members is called a two-piece joining type. Although not shown, these breast cups are usually provided with a front cup made of relatively thin fabric, knitted fabric or lace as needed, or with a back cover cloth or the like as needed. There are also those having a stacked structure or a three-layer structure.

[0006] Normally, the main purpose of the front cup and the back cover cloth, which are made of a relatively thin material and provided for the purpose of decoration and for improving the touch, is not for the purpose of adjusting the shape of the breast. .

[0007] Although not necessarily limited, breast cups that exhibit a bust correction function provided mainly for the purpose of adjusting the shape of the breast are usually made of a material such as a nonwoven fabric or urethane foam that is slightly thicker than a front cup or a back cover cloth. Are generally used, but in some cases, there are breast cups composed of relatively thin fabrics or knits. When a breast cup is composed of only relatively thin dough, two or more overlapping types are usually used in many cases.

[0008] Cups having a multiplex structure of two or more sheets are used in which each cup is partially or entirely sewn around its periphery. Incidentally, the bra shown in FIG. 13 is a so-called cup-mounted type, and the breast cup 12 is placed on the front side of the base cloth 125 of the bra.
This is a type in which 0 is placed and sewn in the vicinity of the cup 126 of the base cloth in the vicinity of the breast cup.

FIG. 14 shows a so-called base mounting type brassiere in the same shape as that of FIG. In contrast to the above-mentioned cup-mounted type, the brassiere of the base mounting type is such that the vicinity of the chest of the breast cup 120 is applied to the back side of the base cloth 125 of the bra, and the hollow 126 of the breast cup and the cup 126 of the base cloth. The vicinity is a type sewn. Whether the cup-mounted type or the base-mounted type is a matter of sewing or design, and has no direct relation to the molding and correction function of the breast.

[0010] FIG. 15 shows a conventional 3
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an example of a brassiere having a breast cup of the type referred to as a single sheeting, as viewed from substantially the front side. The breast cup 140 of the bra shown in FIG. 15 has a slightly different cup shape from the bra shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, and includes an upper cup portion 141, a lower cup portion 142, and a side cup portion 14.
3 is composed of a total of three members. The sewing at the joining lines 144 and 145 is performed by a well-known dart so that a bulge appears in the cup.

[0011]

In a breast of a woman, the breast generally flows sideways in a natural state and tends to hang down. When wearing clothes having no function of correcting the breast shape, the breasts are turned sideways. Flow and droop, and the beautiful silhouette of the wearer's bust cannot be realized.

By the way, in the case of a conventionally used breast cup having a two-piece structure as described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14, the connecting line 123 has a bulge necessary for storing the breast. The main purpose is to have it, and there is a problem that the function of correcting the shape of the breast is not sufficiently considered.

Referring to FIG. 13, since the area of the lower cup portion is relatively large, the lower breast portion is largely pressed by the lower cup portion, so that a force in the direction of arrow 128 acts and the influence of the force is exerted. , Arrows 129, 130, and 131 act to escape. Therefore, little consideration is given to the side flow of the breast. Then, it becomes a collapsed pseudo-conical shape with the bottom surface being an elliptical shape that spreads slightly in the left-right direction.

In addition, the vicinity of the raised vertex of the breast is not sharpened so as to maintain a natural beautiful rounded shape, and no function is provided for compensating for a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip. That is, in the case of a breast cup having a two-piece structure as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the upper cup part 121 and the lower cup part 122 press the breast in a planar manner from above and below, so that the breast is rounded. In addition, when viewed from the side, the top of the bulge of the cup is sharp in the shape of a "ku", and the vicinity of the top of the bulge does not have a beautiful rounded shape. Therefore, there is a problem that the shape of the whole breast does not become a beautiful shape with a rounded conical shape.

In the case of a breast cup having a structure in which three breast cups are connected as described with reference to FIG. 15, a dart is taken and sewn by two connection lines of connection lines 144 and 145. Compared to a two-piece cup,
Although a slight improvement effect is recognized in that the bulge of the breast is hardly crushed, a vertex perpendicular to a virtual line (f) connecting the lowest point (S) of the breast cup and the vertex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup ( Assuming that the side cup portion is vertically divided by a virtual line (g) passing through T), the areas of the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion are different, and the action of the vertical force is not balanced. Also, the connecting line 1 between the side cup portion 143 and the upper cup portion 141 and the lower cup portion 142
44 and 145, that is, the joining line 144 and the joining line 145 from the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup are substantially arc-shaped joining lines protruding toward the front center at least in the vicinity of the apex (T). It is hard to say that the curvature is inverted at the vertex (T) and the virtual line (g)
The shape of the side cup portion is considerably unbalanced above and below, and the angle α between the joint line 144 and the imaginary line (g) in the side cup portion and the joint line 1
45 and the imaginary line (g) are considerably different, for example, the pressing force of the breast from the side acts obliquely upward from the lower side as shown by the arrow 146. 147, 148, and 149 directions, and a force to escape diagonally upward in the direction of arrows 147 is generated. It becomes a broken pseudo cone. In addition, the function of keeping the beautiful beautiful rounded shape without sharpening the vicinity of the raised peak of the breast is also insufficient. Therefore, little attention is paid to the function of correcting the shape of the breast into a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and maintains a natural beautiful rounded shape without sharpening the vicinity of the raised apex of the breast while maintaining the bust-up effect and the effect of shifting the bust to the center, It is an object of the present invention to provide a breast cup having a function of correcting a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip without crushing the breast.

Further, in each of the preferred embodiments of the present invention described later, the following objects are further provided in addition to the above objects. In other words, the present invention can further exert a bust-up function and a function of shifting the bust to the front center side, and the vicinity of the raised vertex of the breast keeps a natural beautiful rounded shape without being sharpened, without crushing the breast. It is an object of the present invention to provide a breast cup capable of more appropriately exhibiting a function of correcting a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a breast cup which has good air permeability and is more likely to exhibit the above functions. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a breast cup with more improved decorativeness and fashionability and an improved appearance.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a breast cup for clothing in which the breast compensation function is more effectively exhibited. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a breast cup for a specific garment in which the breast compensation function is more effectively exhibited.

[0026]

[Action]

(1) The breast cup of the women's garment of the present invention adopts a division method different from the most commonly used breast cup including an upper cup portion, a lower cup portion, and a side cup portion. Since the connecting line (b) is a substantially arcuate connecting line convex toward the front center at least in the vicinity of the anterior breast cup apex (T), the conventional breast cup is mainly located below or below the side. While the force for pressing the breast acts on the breast cup of the present invention, the force for pressing the breast on a relatively large surface substantially from the side to the front center side acts. That is, it is presumed that when a force is applied from the side as shown by the arrow 12 described with reference to FIG. 2, the force is dispersed in the directions of the arrows 13 and 14 and escapes as a result. However, since the lower cup portion is fixed to the base cloth 10 or the like, the pressing force of the lower cup portion (the force in the direction opposite to the arrow 14) acts, and the force in the direction of the arrow 14 cancels the force in the opposite direction. Therefore, it is presumed that the force acting on the breast is mainly the upward force indicated by the arrow 13. However, since the upper cup part is not firmly fixed to the base cloth, etc., and in general, clothing that usually has a breast cup or other breast cup may be designed so that the power is released upward, so that the breast It is presumed that since a force that escapes in the upward direction, which originally has a small volume, acts on the side with a relatively large volume, a conical breast with a balanced overall volume can be realized.

In addition, when it is assumed that the side cup portion is vertically divided by the imaginary line (g), the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion have substantially the same area, so that the force from the side is indicated by an arrow. Since it acts almost in the front center direction as shown by 12, it is presumed that the force flowing in the armpit direction as shown by the arrow 147 described with reference to FIG. Therefore, a breast cup capable of exhibiting a function of adjusting a beautiful conical shape without crushing the breast by the specific three-partitioning method can be provided. Moreover, the connecting line (a) between the upper cup portion and the lower cup portion is the connecting line (b) between the side cup portion and the upper and lower cup portions.
Intersects near the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup, and the lateral joining line (c) substantially at the center of the side cup portion is substantially in the direction of extension of the joining line (a). By being provided slightly beyond the intersection, the connecting lines (a) and (c) and the connecting line (b)
Intersect substantially in the shape of an X in the vicinity of the top (T) of the bulge of the breast cup and are joined together by darts, and the connection line (b) is at least near the top (T) of the front breast cup. In the above, since it is a substantially arc-shaped connecting line that is convex toward the front center direction, the vicinity of the raised peak of the breast can be kept sharp and natural and beautiful rounded shape, A breast cup having a function of correcting the wearer's bust shape to a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip can be provided by both functions. Further, since the lateral joining line (c) substantially at the center of the side cup portion is provided in a direction almost extending from the joining line (a) to a position slightly beyond the intersection of the above (a) and (b), In the breast cup of the present invention, the side cup portion has a large area as compared with the case where the breast joining cup is divided into four parts by the lateral joining line (c) of the side cup portion completely crossing the side cup portion. , The arrow 12 illustrated in FIG.
A directional force is generated.

By the above-described action, the vicinity of the raised apex of the breast keeps a natural beautiful rounded shape without being sharpened, and the breast has a function of correcting a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip without crushing the breast. Cup can be provided.

(2) In the breast cup of the present invention, the connecting line (b) between the side cup portion, the upper cup and the lower cup portion corresponds to the lowermost point (S) of the breast cup and the breast cup. The breast from either the upper side of the breast cup side or the upper side of the breast cup, which is on the side of the imaginary line (f) connecting the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup and above the upper end (U) of the side of the breast cup. A tie line that passes through the vicinity of the top (T) of the bulge of the cup and reaches above the breast cup cavity between the lowest point (S) of the breast cup and the upper end point (U) of the breast cup cavity; The connecting line (a) between the upper cup portion and the lower cup portion is the upper end point (V) on the front center side of the breast cup cavity above the breast cup cavity and the lowermost point (S) of the breast cup cavity.
Between the midpoint (W) of the breast cup and the upper end point (V) on the front center side of the breast cup near the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup, and According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is a connecting line reaching the connecting line (b), the position of the side cup portion and the position of the lower cup portion are arranged at positions where the respective functions described above are easily exerted. Because
It is possible to provide a breast cup capable of exhibiting a function of correcting a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip without crushing the breast, keeping the natural beautiful rounded shape without sharpening the vicinity of the raised peak of the breast.

(3) In the breast cup of the present invention, the breast cup is a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprising a material selected from a nonwoven fabric or a laminated fabric in which a knitted fabric or a woven fabric is laminated on at least one surface of a nonwoven fabric. Thereby, since the non-woven fabric is included at least as a constituent material, the non-woven fabric is generally thicker than the knitted fabric or the woven fabric, and therefore sufficiently exerts the power necessary to exert the predetermined function of each of the cup portions described above. In addition, the nonwoven fabric has good air permeability and is less likely to be stuffy. In addition, when a knitted or woven fabric is laminated on at least one side of the nonwoven fabric, in addition to the above-described functions, the relatively weak mechanical properties of the nonwoven fabric are reinforced, and the fabric is not frayed and fluffed. In this case, handling in processes such as sewing is also facilitated. Further, when the breast cup is configured such that the surface on which the knit or woven fabric is laminated is at least abutted on the skin side of the wearer, when the nonwoven fabric directly hits the skin, the tip of the fiber constituting the nonwoven fabric is used. Can eliminate the drawback of tingling by touching the skin, and can provide a breast cup with good touch.

(4) Further, in the breast cup of the present invention, by adopting a preferred embodiment of the present invention in which a front cup made of lace, knitted fabric or woven fabric is further provided on the front side of the breast cup, Since there is no need to add the function of the present invention, there is a relatively high degree of freedom in selecting the position of the connecting line and the shape and material of the component pieces. By using the line, it is possible to provide a breast cup that is more excellent in decorativeness and fashionability, has improved appearance, and has the above-described functions of the present invention.

(5) In the breast cup of the present invention, the women's clothing is a foundation having a breast cup or a swimsuit according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Because it is a garment that is relatively close to the skin or that is worn in direct contact with the skin, which is required and the body shape correction function is likely to be exerted, the vicinity of the raised peak of the breast described above has a natural beautiful roundness without being sharpened. It is possible to provide a breast cup that can maintain its shape and more appropriately perform the function of adjusting the shape of the cone to a beautiful conical shape without crushing the breast. In addition, by using a breast cup for water wear, swimwear is clothing that is worn in direct contact with the skin, similar to foundations, and because it is clothing that emphasizes beautiful body lines of women, it is similar to the above. The breast cup according to the present invention, which is capable of more appropriately exhibiting a function of correcting a beautiful conical shape with a rounded tip without crushing the breast while maintaining a beautiful rounded shape without sharpening near the raised apex of the breast. Can be provided.

(6) In the breast cup of the present invention, the foundation having the breast cup is a bra or a bodysuit according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Is a garment in which the function of compensating the shape of a woman's breast more beautifully is more important, and because it is garment worn directly on the skin, the breast cup of the present invention is used as a breast cup for these garments. When used, the above-mentioned function of the present invention to maintain a beautiful rounded shape without sharpening the vicinity of the raised apex of the breast, and to correct the breast to a beautiful conical shape without crushing the breast. It is possible to provide a breast cup that can perform more appropriately.
Here, in the present invention, the brassiere is a brassier of a general concept as well as a concept including a long line brassiere and a bistier.

[0034]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, the structure of a breast cup for women's clothing according to the present invention will be described with reference to several examples, including a brassiere, with reference to the drawings. Although described more specifically, the present invention is not limited only to those of this embodiment, and, for example, in addition to those listed in the embodiments, such as bistier, three-in-one, blaterdy, bra camisole or bra slip It can be easily understood that the present invention can be applied not only to foundations having a breast cup of the present invention but also to breast cups of women's clothing having other various breast cups.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a brassiere provided with the breast cup of the present invention as viewed from the front side. In FIG.
1 is the breast cup of the present invention, 6 is the upper side of the breast cup, 7
Denotes an upper side of the breast cup, 9 denotes a strap (shoulder strap), 8 denotes a joint portion of the strap 9 of the breast cup 1, and 10 denotes a base cloth. The breast cup 1 comprises an upper cup part 2, a lower cup part 3, and a side cup part 4.

The connecting line (b) between the side cup part 4 and the upper cup part 2 and the lower cup part 3 is the breast cup 1
From the uppermost point (U) on the side of the breast cup 5 on the side of the imaginary line (f) (indicated by the dashed line) connecting the lowest point (S) of the breast cup 1 and the vertex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup 1 Also passes through the top (T) of the breast cup bulge from above the upper breast cup side upper side 6 and between the lowest point (S) of the breast cup 1 and the upper side point (U) of the breast cup cavity 5. The joining line (b) is a joining line that is convex toward the front center at least near the apex (T) of the anterior breast cup. ing. Also, the connecting line (a) between the upper cup portion 2 and the lower cup portion 3 is located on the breast cup hole 5 at the front upper end point (V) of the breast cup hole 5 and the breast cup bottom point. The side cup portion 4 and the upper cup portion 2 at the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup from between the midpoint (W) with (S) and the upper end point (V) on the front center side of the breast cup cavity 5. And a connection line leading to a connection line (b) between the lower cup portion 3 and the lower cup portion 3. The joint line (a) intersects with the joint line (b) at the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup, and the lateral joint line (c) substantially at the center of the side cup portion 4 is the joint line (a). ) Is provided in a direction substantially extending from the intersection of (a) and (b). In addition, the upper cup part 2, the lower cup part 3, and the side cup part 4 are respectively connected lines (a), (b),
As is well known in (c), the breast cup is sewn with darts based on a method usually employed in sewing the breast cup so that the breast cup swells.

In the side cup portion 4, the side cup portion is assumed to be vertically divided by a virtual line (g) passing through a vertex (T) perpendicular to the virtual line (f). The side cup portion 4a and the lower side cup portion 4b are designed so that their areas are substantially equal. Further, in this example, the angle α between the joining line (b) in the upper side cup portion 4a and the imaginary line (g) and the joining line (b) in the lower side cup portion 4b are imaginary. The angle β formed with the line (g) is designed to be substantially equal. Depending on the type of clothing, there is also a type of clothing in which the strap joining portion 8 of the upper cup portion or the side cup portion does not exist or is located much higher. Or the area of the upper cup part and the side cup part for clothing in which a part of the side cup part extends as it is and plays the role of a strap shall be considered excluding the part that plays the role of the strap substantially. Must. The same applies to the case where the side cup portion is vertically divided by a virtual line (g) and the areas of the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion are compared.

In the present invention, when the areas of the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion are substantially equal, it is preferable that the areas of the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion are as close as possible, but it is strictly required that the area ratio is 1: 1. However, there is no problem even if there is a difference in the range of about 4: 6 to 6: 4. By making the areas of the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion substantially equal, the connecting line (b) is protruded toward the front center at least in the vicinity of the front breast cup apex (T). By using a substantially arcuate connecting line, a force for pressing the breast from the side toward the front center acts.
When the balance between the areas of the upper side cup portion and the lower side cup portion is excessively broken, for example, if the area of the lower side cup portion becomes considerably larger than the area of the upper side cup portion, FIG.
As described with reference to FIG. 5, the pressing force of the breast from the side acts from the lower side to the upper side as shown by the arrow 146, and as a result, the force that escapes in the upper side of the arrow 147 is reduced. And the function of adjusting the breast to a beautiful conical shape cannot be exhibited. When the connecting line (b) is not a substantially arc-shaped connecting line convex toward the front center at least in the vicinity of the anterior breast cup apex (T), for example, as shown in FIG. Even in the case of (T) not being arcuate and the curvature being reversed at the vertex (T), the force from the side direction to the front center direction is less likely to act, and the acting direction of the force is likely to shift.

Further, it is more preferable that the angle α and the angle β are designed to be substantially equal to each other.
This is preferable because the direction of the force pressing the breast from the side toward the front center tends to be even more accurate. In the present invention, it is preferable that the angle α and the angle β are substantially equal to each other, but it is preferable that the angles are as close as possible. However, it is strictly required that the ratio between the angle α and the angle β is 1: 1. Not a thing,
The difference may be in the range of about 4: 6 to 6: 4.

FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the components of the breast cup 1 used in FIG. 1, that is, the upper cup portion 2, the lower cup portion 3, and the side cup portion 4. In FIG. 3, the line EF of the upper cup portion 2 is joined to the line HI of the side cup portion 4, and the line KL is connected to the lower cup portion 3.
To form a joint line (b). Further, the FG line of the upper cup portion 2 is joined to the MO line of the lower cup portion 3 to form a joining line (a). Furthermore, I- of side cup part 4
The line J is joined to the line KJ to form a joint line (c).

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the acting direction of the force for holding down the breast in the brassiere of FIG. With the above aspect, the side cup portion 4 is arranged at a specific position on the side of the breast cup, and a force for pressing the breast on the surface from substantially the side toward the front center side acts. . Referring to FIG. 2, when a force from the side as shown by arrow 12 acts, it is estimated that as a result, the force is dispersed in directions of arrows 13 and 14 and acts to escape. However, since the lower cup portion is fixed to the base cloth 10 or the like, the pressing force of the lower cup portion (arrow 1)
4), and the force in the direction of arrow 14 is
It is presumed that the opposing force cancels out, and therefore the force acting on the breast is mainly the upward force indicated by arrow 13. However, since the upper cup part is not firmly fixed to the base cloth, etc., and in general, clothing that usually has a breast cup or other breast cup may be designed so that the power is released upward, so that the breast It is presumed that since a force that escapes in the upward direction, which originally has a small volume, acts on the side with a relatively large volume, a conical breast with a balanced overall volume can be realized.

Moreover, the joining line (a) intersects with the joining line (b) at the apex (T) of the bulge of the breast cup, and the lateral joining line (c) substantially at the center of the side cup portion 4 is the joining line. The connection line (a), (c) and the connection line (b) are provided so as to extend slightly beyond the intersection of the above (a) and (b) in the extension direction of (a). Almost X at the peak (T) of the bulge
They are crossed in a letter shape and are all joined together by darts, and the joining line (b) is at least in the vicinity of the anterior breast cup apex (T) and substantially convex toward the anterior center. Because it is an arc-shaped connecting line, the vicinity of the raised peak of the breast can be kept sharp and natural and beautiful rounded shape, and both functions make the wearer's bust shape beautiful with a rounded tip A breast cup having a function of adjusting to a conical shape can be provided. Further, since the lateral joining line (c) substantially at the center of the side cup portion is provided in a direction almost extending from the joining line (a) to a position slightly beyond the intersection of the above (a) and (b), In the breast cup of the present invention, the side cup portion has a large area as compared with the case where the breast joining cup is divided into four parts by the lateral joining line (c) of the side cup portion completely crossing the side cup portion. Is maintained, a force in the direction of arrow 12 illustrated in FIG. 2 is generated.

The correction function as described above is exerted, and in the nude state, the shape of the breast whose central axis is distorted obliquely downward can be made into a relatively well-shaped conical shape. Become.

As the material of the upper cup portion, the lower cup portion, the side cup portion and the like constituting the breast cup, any of the materials conventionally used for breast cups can be used. A nonwoven fabric, a knitted fabric, a woven fabric, a plastic foam such as an open-celled polyurethane foam, or the like is used. Among them, a material selected from a nonwoven fabric or a laminated fabric in which a knitted fabric or a woven fabric is laminated on at least one surface of the nonwoven fabric is preferably used. When the non-woven fabric is included at least as a constituent material, the non-woven fabric is generally thicker than the knitted fabric or the woven fabric, and therefore, sufficiently exerts the power necessary to perform the above-described predetermined function of each cup portion. This is preferable because it has good air permeability and hardly causes stuffiness. In addition, when a knitted or woven fabric is laminated on at least one side of the nonwoven fabric, a relatively weak mechanical property of the nonwoven fabric is further reinforced to prevent the nonwoven fabric from fraying and fluffing. Handling in processes such as sewing is also facilitated. Further, when the breast cup is configured such that the surface on which the knitted or woven fabric is laminated is at least abutted on the skin side of the wearer, the tips of the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric are generated when the nonwoven fabric directly hits the skin.
