FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001]This invention relates to women's brassiere, particularly a new and improved garment to provide support needed for sleep. Specifically, the invention provides a concentrated support section for the lower portion of the breast, and a light and comfortable coverage for the rest of the chest. This support is provided by a tightly knit fabric and by no means uses any under wiring or molding. It is extremely comfortable. It doesn't consist of hard cups or pads, it consists of stretch fabric. It provides enough support to the lower breasts to prevent the breasts from sagging but light enough to give the feeling of not wearing a bra.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002]For centuries women had to deal with uncomfortable bras, waking up in the middle of the night to take their bra off. Leaving them with no support at all. For others, it was wearing a bra that wasn't sexy at all. What women desire in a bra they sleep in is; comfort and support, with the right amount of cleavage and appeal. Women who don't wear bras to sleep mostly do not because of the discomfort.
[0003]The bra is designed so that it doesn't cover the entire chest, giving the chest ease for blood circulation and comfort. Implementations of the present invention does not include any means of under wire, or molding. It has a concentrated support section for the lower part of the. breasts, giving the support needed without pressing the breasts toward the body like sports bras do. The fabrication for this section is a tight knit with lycra, such as a sports bra. The rest of the bra has a light breathable stretch fabric seamed to the bottom portion supplying coverage.
[0004]Some undergarments that women may decide to sleep in for any form of support, do not supply every need for a sleeping garment. My advantages over other brassieres, for the purpose of sleeping, is that it gives just the right amount of support. Sports bras give too much support unnecessary for sleeping, and flattens the chest for a less flattering appearance. Camisoles and wireless bras don't give enough support, and bras with wires poke and are uncomfortable. The present invention gives support only to the lower portion of the breast for enough support without cutting off circulation. It gives support with no under wire. It is breathable and comfortable.
[0005]There have been prior art designed to be worn to sleep, but such prior art devices do not provide support to the actual breast, but rather encircling support for the busts of the wearer. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,746,007 uses strap means extending immediately below the breast and extending strips encircling the upper portion of the busts. U.S. Pat. No. 7,083,494 targets the bust area for support, not the actual breast itself--underneath the bust, around the sides of the bust, between the breasts and around the back.
[0006]A Further object of the present invention is to design a sleeping brassiere made free of any molding structure, allowing the breasts to move freely without spilling out of the structure. U.S. Pat. No. 3,746,007 claims to mold the breasts so as to give an attractive silhouette. U.S. Pat. No. 7,083,494 claims that the inner support structure is seam-free and of a molded shape using various stitch patterns.
[0007]U.S. Pat. No. 3,746,007 contains an embodiment of the invention whereas pulling down on a panel portion adjusts the bottom end causing the front portion of the gown to pull upwardly to change the amount of the uplift to the breasts. The present invention does not apply any strain on the shoulders to pull the breasts up, or strain the breasts in any way.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0008]The invention will be more fully understood after a review of the following figures, detailed description and claims.
[0009]FIG. 1 is a perspective front view of the brassiere illustrating the different fabrications for the different sections of the brassiere;
[0010]FIG. 2 is a perspective rear view of the brassiere;
[0011]FIG. 3 is an alternate front view embodiment of the present invention;
[0012]FIG. 4 is the rear view of the alternate embodiment of the present invention of FIG. 3.
[0013]FIG. 5 is an alternate front view embodiment of the present invention;
[0014]FIG. 6 is the rear view of the alternate embodiment of the present invention of FIG. 5.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0015]With references to FIG. 1 the brassiere includes three sections, supplying different amounts of support. The brassiere is mainly composed of 1, which includes the straps and the majority of the front. The fabrication for this is a light knit with lycra that is breathable and soft against skin. 2 is the targeted support portion starting right below the nipple and ending where the breast does. It is composed of a tight knit and lycra with an interlining that is soft against skin. This concentrated support basically prevents the breast from dropping down. The thick elastic 3, goes around the torso and is positioned under the breast to keep the brassiere in place. A thin elastic 4, is sewn around the brasserie as a trim.
[0016]FIG. 2, the rear view, is composed of 5, the light knit for a light barely there feeling; with 6, the thick elastic continuing around the torso. 7 is the same thin elastic trim as 4 in the front.
[0017]An alternate embodiment, FIG. 3 is made up of the same fabrications as first embodiment but, cut in a different manner. 8 is the main portion, which includes the front straps and the majority of the front. The fabrication for this is the light knit that is breathable and soft against skin. 9 is the targeted support portion starting right below the nipple, going around the side, and continuing to the back. It is composed of the tight knit with an interlining that is soft against skin. This concentrated support basically prevents the breast from dropping down. 10 goes around the torso and is positioned under and in between the breast to give it an extra uplift for the breasts as well as keeping the brassiere in place. This section is made of either an elastic material or the same as 9. A thin elastic 4, is sewn around the brasserie as a trim.
[0018]FIG. 4, the rear view of FIG. 3, continues with the 12 going around the torso. A hook and eye opening 13, can also be provided for easy release. Section 9 continues to the back 16, and remains the same material. 14 are straps connecting 8 to 16. 15 is the same thin elastic trim as 11 in the front.
[0019]An alternate embodiment, FIG. 5 is made up of the same fabrications as the first two embodiments, cut in a different manner. The main section 17, starts at the lower portion of the breast, comes around to the side of the breast to continue as the strap. The fabrication for this section is the tight knit that provides support. 18 provides the rest of the chest with a light coverage. The thick elastic 19, goes around the torso and is positioned under the breast to keep the brassiere in place. 20 is a thin elastic trim.
[0020]FIG. 6, the rear view of FIG. 5, consists of 21, the criss-cross straps which expand to a back panel and is made up of the tight knit fabrication. 22 is the thick elastic wrapping the torso. 23 is the thin elastic trim.
