Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The disclosure relates to a support of a brassiere cup, and a supporting bracket of a brassiere cup. In addition, the disclosure also relates to a brassiere cup including said support or said supporting bracket, a method for manufacturing a supporting bracket and a method for manufacturing a brassiere cup.

BACKGROUND

[0002] A conventional brassiere includes a pair of cups covering a breast of a wearer, a connection between a left cup and a right cup, and a strap-like or wing-like connection connecting each of the cups and extending to a back of the wearer. Optionally, the brassiere may also include shoulder straps. Supporting strips, made of a metal or a plastic, i.e., generally called steel rings, are commonly arranged within the cups to support the breast or shape the breast.

[0003] U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2014/0302747 A1 discloses a supporting strip for a lower edge region of a brassiere cup, which has a curved, elongate portion. Said elongate portion extends between a medial end and a lateral end of the supporting strip. During this extending process, the curvature of the elongate portion varies in a three-dimensional direction, and reduces towards the lateral end.

[0004] U.S. Pat. No. 9,198,468 B2 discloses a support component for attachment to a lower edge of a bra, having a generally U-shaped body. The body is defined in an x-direction, a y-direction, and a z-direction which are mutually perpendicular, and both ends of the body generally deflect towards opposite directions.

[0005] U.S. Pat. No. 7,841,924 B2 discloses a brassiere cup underwire which is formed by a flexible plastics strip. Said flexible plastics strip has a varied crosswise dimension along its length so that the degree of support offered by the underwire varies throughout its length.

[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 8,747,184 B2 discloses a support structure for placement in a lower periphery of a breast cup for a brassiere. Said support structure is shaped to follow the curve of the underside of a wearer's breast, and includes a harder strip-like first region and a softer periphery region.

[0007] The supporting strip formed by a steel ring or a hard plastic can generate on the body of the wearer a pressure, which may inflame the breast tissue of the wearer after a long time wearing of the brassiere, and even may cause bodily injury. In order to avoid inflaming the breast and causing an uncomfortable wearing experience, there exists a brassiere cup without a steel ring in the market, but the supporting, shaping and lifting functions of the existing brassiere without the steel ring are not satisfactory.

[0008] In addition, lateral plates of the conventional brassiere cup are straight and have a two-dimensional structure. The so-called two-dimensional structure means that said lateral plates are in a same plane when being flattened. Due to such a two-dimensional structure, the conventional lateral plates cannot match with the curved shape from the breast to an armpit position and cannot provide a complete fitting and a strengthening effect. Similarly, a bottom supporting portion of the conventional brassiere cup is always straight and has a two-dimensional structure. The bottom supporting portion does not have a shape corresponding to the radian of the breast root, thus it cannot provide a complete fitting in a correct position of the breast root.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] Referring to FIG. 1, a front view of a brassiere cup 10 in accordance with a first embodiment of the disclosure is illustrated.

[0057] The brassiere cup 10 includes a pair of cup bodies 200 and a pair of supports 300 provided inside the cup bodies 200.

[0058] The cup body 200 includes a fabric layer located outside and preferably further includes a sponge layer located inside. The support 300 is of a generally C-shaped shape partially surrounding a breast of a wearer, and partially fits the breast. The shape of the support 300 at least covers and fits a bottom part, an outer lateral part and an upper part of the breast, the upper part extending from the outer lateral part to a top. Preferably, the support 300 also partially covers and fits a portion extending from the outer lateral part of the breast to a vicinity of the armpit. The outer lateral part here refers to the lateral part of the breast close to the armpit.

[0059] Since the breast of the human is not a simple cylindrical, therefore the support 300 has a stereoscopic sheet-like structure. The support 300 has a three-dimensional structure extending simultaneously along x-direction, y-direction and z-direction of a Cartesian coordinate system. In other words, the support 300 fits a shape of the breast of the wearer simultaneously along x-direction, y-direction and z-direction. Such a three-dimensional structure is such that the support 300 cannot be flattened in a plane. Therefore, the support 300 can have a hardness and rigidity far lower than that of a supporting strip, formed by a steel ring or a plastic strip, but could provide a well supporting and packing performance.

[0060] The support can have a solid sheet-like structure, such as a support 300 illustrated in FIG. 4. Alternatively, the support can also have a webbed sheet-like structure. In this case, the support may include a plurality of lines parallel or at an angle, such as a support 300' illustrated in FIG. 5; or include a grid formed by crossed lines, such as a support 300'' illustrated in FIG. 6.

[0061] The support 300 of the brassiere cup 10 includes an upper portion 310, a lower portion 330 and a side portion 320 which connects the upper portion 310 and the lower portion 330. The lower portion 330 fits the bottom part of the breast; the side portion 320 fits the outer lateral part of the breast; and the upper portion 310 fits the upper part extending from the outer lateral part to the top of the breast. The upper portion 310, the lower portion 330 and the side portion 320 have respective three-dimensional structures conforming to corresponding human body contours, respectively.

[0062] The width of a median portion of the C-shaped shape of the support 300 can be designed to be greater than those of portions of both ends. That is to say, the width of the side portion 320 of the support 300 is greater than each of the width of the upper portion 310 and the width of the lower portion 330. Preferably, the side portion 320 also partially covers and fits a portion extending from the outer lateral part of the breast to a vicinity of the armpit. As such, the brassiere cup 10 could provide a well lateral supporting.

[0063] The brassiere cup 10 is connected to a wing sheet and a connection by a manner of stitching and so on, thus forming a brassiere. Herein, the wing sheet is connected to an outer lateral portion of the brassiere cup 10 and fits around a back of the wearer, and a connection is connected to two inner lateral portions of the brassiere cup 10 at a median of front face. Preferably, the brassiere may also include shoulder straps. The shoulder straps are connected to a top of the brassiere cup 10, and extend to the back passing a shoulder of the wearer to connect to the wing sheet.

[0064] The support 300 is preferably a moulded plastic net or a moulded plastic sheet.

[0065] Referring to FIGS. 7-9, a pair of supporting bracket 40 for supporting a body (not shown) of a brassiere cup in accordance with a second embodiment of the disclosure is illustrated. The supporting bracket 40 includes a bracket body 400 and a support 500. The supporting bracket 40 is suitable for being connected to the body of the brassiere cup to form the brassiere cup.

[0066] The bracket body 400 includes a fabric layer located outside and may further include a sponge layer located inside. Preferably, the bracket body 400 also partially covers and fits a portion extending from the outer lateral part of the breast to a vicinity of the armpit.

[0067] The support 500 is of a generally U-shaped shape partially surrounding the breast of the wearer, and partially fits the breast. The shape of the support 500 at least fits a bottom edge of the breast. Preferably, the support 500 extends from the bottom edge of the breast to two laterals, thus fitting an inner lateral edge and an outer lateral edge of the breast. The outer lateral here refers to a lateral of the breast close to the armpit, and the inner lateral refers to an opposite lateral of the breast, i.e., a lateral close to a centre in front of the breast.

[0068] Since the breast of the human is not a simple cylindrical, therefore the support 500 has a stereoscopic structure. The support 500 has a three-dimensional structure extending simultaneously along x-direction, y-direction and z-direction of a Cartesian coordinate system. In other words, the support 300 fits a shape of the breast of the wearer simultaneously along x-direction, y-direction and z-direction. Such a three-dimensional structure is such that the support 500 cannot be flattened in a plane.

[0069] The support 500 of the supporting bracket 40 includes an inner lateral portion 510, an outer lateral portion 530 and a bottom portion 520 connecting the inner lateral portion 510 and the outer lateral portion 530. Shapes of the inner lateral portion 510, the outer lateral portion 530 and the bottom portion 520 conform to shapes of parts at the inner lateral edge, the outer lateral edge and the bottom edge of the breast, respectively, and thus have three-dimensional structures conforming to corresponding human body contours, respectively.

[0070] The bracket body 400 includes a first portion 410 and a second portion 420, respectively located above and below the support 500. The first portion 410 has a three-dimensional structure conforming to the shape of the breast, while the second portion 420 has a three-dimensional structure conforming to a part of the body close to the breast. The part of the body close to the breast for example includes a chest part in the vicinity of a breast root, and a part extending from the outer lateral breast to a vicinity of the armpit.

[0071] In the U-shaped shape of the bracket body 400, an outer lateral part of the second portion 420 can have a greater width, thus partially covering and fitting a part of body from the outer lateral breast to a vicinity of the armpit. As such, the supporting bracket 40 can provide a well lateral supporting for the breast.

[0072] In this embodiment, the support 500 of the supporting bracket 40 can for example be a supporting strip formed by a steel ring or by a plastic strip. Specially, the support 500 is preferably a moulded plastic strip or a moulded metal strip.

[0073] Referring to FIG. 4, a pair of supporting bracket 60 for supporting a body (not shown) of a brassiere cup in accordance with a third embodiment of the disclosure is illustrated. The supporting bracket 60 includes a bracket body 600 and a support 700. The supporting bracket 60 is suitable for being connected to the body of the brassiere cup to form the brassiere cup.

[0074] In this embodiment, similarly, the support 700 is of a generally U-shaped shape partially surrounding parts from a lower edge of the breast of the wearer to the two laterals, and partially fits the breast. The shape of the support 700 at least fits a part of the breast at a bottom edge. Preferably, the support 700 extends from the part of the breast at the bottom edge to the two laterals, thus fitting parts of the breast at an inner lateral edge and an outer lateral edge. And, the support 700 also has a three-dimensional structure extending simultaneously along x-direction, y-direction and z-direction of a Cartesian coordinate system, and fits the shape of the breast of the wearer simultaneously along x-direction, y-direction and z-direction.

[0075] The support 700 of the supporting bracket 60 includes an inner lateral portion 710, an outer lateral portion 730 and a bottom portion 720 connecting the inner lateral portion 710 and the outer lateral portion 730. Shapes of the inner lateral portion 710, the outer lateral portion 730 and the bottom portion 720 conform to shapes of parts at the inner lateral edge, the outer lateral edge and the bottom edge of the breast, respectively, and thus have three-dimensional structures conforming to corresponding human body contours, respectively.

[0076] The outer lateral portion 730 of the support 700 partially covers and fits a part of the body from the outer lateral breast to a vicinity of the armpit, and thus has a three-dimensional structure conforming to said part of the body.

[0077] Unlike the second embodiment, the support 700 has a three-dimensional sheet-like structure. The support 700 can for example have a solid sheet-like structure or can also have a webbed sheet-like structure. In case of a webbed sheet-like structure, the support may include a plurality of lines parallel or at an angle, or include a grid formed by crossed lines.

[0078] The support 700 in this embodiment can have a hardness and rigidity lower than that of a supporting strip, formed by a steel ring or a plastic strip, but simultaneously could provide a well supporting and packing performance. The support 700 is preferably a moulded plastic net or a moulded plastic sheet.

[0079] By a manner of stitching and so on, an upper edge of the bracket body 400, 600 of the supporting bracket 40, 60 can be connected to a body (not shown) of a brassiere cup, thus forming the brassiere cup. Then, the brassiere cup is connected to a wing sheet and a connection by a manner of stitching and so on, thus forming a brassiere. Herein, the wing sheet is connected to an outer lateral portion of the brassiere cup and fits around a back of the wearer, and a connection is connected to two inner lateral portions of the brassiere cup at a median of front face. Preferably, the brassiere may also include shoulder straps. The shoulder straps are connected to a top of the brassiere cup, and extend to the back passing a shoulder of the wearer to connect to the wing sheet.

[0080] Preferably, the supporting bracket 40, 60 in accordance with the disclosure has a generally cradle-like structure.

[0081] A manufacturing process of the brassiere cup 10 in accordance with the first embodiment is described below. Said manufacturing process can also be used for manufacturing the supporting bracket 40 in accordance with the second embodiment and the supporting bracket 60 in accordance with the third embodiment.

[0082] Referring to FIG. 11, an outer pad 201 is provided firstly. The outer pad 201 is a sponge layer made of pure polyurethane sponge, or a sponge layer formed by lamination of pure polyurethane sponge and fabric.

[0083] Then, referring to FIG. 12, the outer pad 201 is moulded by using a first mould. The first mould includes a male die 31 having a pair of protrusion 311 and a female die 32 having a pair of hollow 321. The protrusion 311 and the hollow 321 have complementary three-dimensional shapes which conform to a contour of a human breast. When the outer pad 201 includes fabric, the fabric is located in a side close to the female die 32.

[0084] After the molded outer pad 201 is obtained, referring to FIG. 13, a brassiere cup (or a supporting bracket) is moulded by using a second mould. The second mould includes a male die 41 having a pair of protrusion 411 and a female die 42 having a pair of hollow 421. The protrusion 411 and the hollow 421 have complementary three-dimensional shapes which conform to a contour of a human breast.

[0085] In this step, an inner pad 202 is provided firstly. Similarly, the inner pad 202 is a sponge layer made of pure polyurethane sponge, or a sponge layer formed by lamination of pure polyurethane sponge and fabric. When the inner pad 202 includes fabric, the fabric is located in a side close to the male die 41.

[0086] The inner pad 202 is placed on a side close to the male die 41, and the moulded outer pad 201 is placed on a side close to the female die 42. A formable support 203 is placed between the inner pad 202 and the outer pad 201. The male die 41 and the female die 42 is closed together so as to mould the brassiere cup (or the supporting bracket) in a manner of lamination. Thus, a support 203 forms a support, having a three-dimensional structure, inside the brassiere cup (or the supporting bracket), and the thus formed brassiere cup (or the supporting bracket) has a three-dimensional structure extending simultaneously along x-direction, y-direction and z-direction of a Cartesian coordinate system. The formable support can for example be strip-like, sheet-like or webbed plastic or metal.

[0087] Since such a support has a hardness and rigidity higher than those of the sponge and fabric, therefore it can well support the shape of the brassiere cup (or the supporting bracket), so that the brassiere cup (or the supporting bracket) is not easy to deform, and the support thus plays a role of shaping and lifting. On the other hand, since such a support has a hardness and rigidity far lower than those of a supporting strip formed by a steel ring or by a plastic strip, therefore it will not hurt the wearer, and could obtain a better wearing experience.

[0088] The invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, but it should be noted that, the embodiments described above are exemplary rather than limiting. Various technical features described in the embodiments described above can be arbitrarily combined and used in the different embodiments in case of not conflicting with each other. Those skilled in the art can recognize that, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and these changes should be included in the scope of the invention.
