20140051330 | COMFORTABLE BONE-AFFIXING STRUCTURE FOR UNDERWEAR - A comfortable bone-affixing structure for underwear is provided to reduce pressure and discomfort imposed to wearers by the underwear's boning members such as metal wires and plastic bones. The comfortable bone-affixing structure includes a continuous flexible tube made of fabric and a cushion fixedly attached to a channel portion of the flexible tube when the flexible tube is a single layer tube or to one of layers of the flexible tube when the flexible tube has a multi-layer scroll-like vertical section. In the bone-affixing structure, the boning member is received in a space that is within the flexible tube and adjacent to or separated from the cushion. With the cushion that separates the boning member from the wearer's skin, the pressure and discomfort imposed to the wearer by the boning member can be reduced. | 02-20-2014 |
