Description

Technical Field

[0006] , ,

[0005] , ,

[0001] The present invention relates to a bra that can separate and connect the left and right cup parts, and particularly to a bra that can obtain a soft wearing comfort without using wires and can accommodate combinations of different sizes, shapes or designs on the left and right.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, there has been a demand for a bra that can select different cup sizes on the left and right in order to accommodate differences in the sizes of the left and right breasts, changes in body shape after breastfeeding, etc.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a bra that can separate and connect the left and right cups by front and rear hooks and can accommodate different cup sizes and non-woven fabric thicknesses on the left and right.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a bra that is wireless, offers a soft and comfortable fit, can be attached and detached with a single touch at the front, can be securely connected at the back with a hook, and allows the left and right cups to be individually selected or replaced. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] According to one aspect of the present invention, a bra is provided having a pair of left and right cup portions, wherein the pair of left and right cup portions are configured as an independent right half and a left half, the right half and the left half are separable and connectable by a one-touch front connector provided at the front center and a rear connector provided on the back, and neither the right half nor the left half has a wire.

[0009] The pair of left and right cup portions may be selected in combinations that differ from each other in at least one of the following: size, shape, color, pattern, or lace design.

[0010] Furthermore, at least one of the cup sections may be provided with a retaining section for holding a removable pad. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to this invention, the left and right cup portions can be selected or replaced individually, making it easier to accommodate bodies with asymmetry or bodies after unilateral mastectomy.

[0012] Furthermore, the wireless design provides a softer feel against the body, resulting in a comfortable wearing experience. In addition, the one-touch fastening at the front and the hook-and-eye closure at the back ensure both ease of putting on and taking off and stability during wear.

[0013] Furthermore, in addition to accommodating size differences, the ability to select combinations of colors, patterns, and designs allows us to offer bras that not only provide shaping but also possess a fashionable appeal that lifts the wearer's spirits. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0014] [Figure 1] This is a perspective front view of a bra according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a front view of a bra according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a rear view of a bra according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] This is a front view showing an embodiment of a bra according to one example of the present invention, in which the cup shapes differ on the left and right sides. [Figure 5] This is a front view showing an embodiment of a bra according to one example of the present invention, in which the cup sizes differ on the left and right sides. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0015] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The embodiments described below are not intended to unduly limit the scope of the present invention as described in the claims for utility model registration. Furthermore, not all components shown in the embodiments are necessarily essential components of the present invention.

[0016] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the bra 1 has a right half with a right cup portion 2, a left half with a left cup portion 3, a front connector 4 provided at the front center, and a rear connector 5 provided on the back side.

[0017] The right half body and the left half body are each configured as independent members provided with a cup portion, a shoulder strap, and a torso portion. The front connector 4 is a one-touch type connector for detachably connecting the left and right half bodies at the front center portion, and is configured so that the wearer can easily put on and take off from the front side. The rear connector 5 is a hook type connector for detachably connecting the left and right half bodies on the back side, and can obtain stable holding performance by suppressing displacement during wearing.

[0018] The bra 1 of the present embodiment has a wireless structure, and a rigid wire is not provided at the lower edge portion of the cup portions 2 and 3. Therefore, it is possible to achieve a soft touch for a wearer who has a body after breast resection, a body with a left-right difference, or a body that requires a less constricting feeling during daily wear. Further, by providing no pad in the bra 1 and providing a holding portion for attaching a separate pad to each of the cup portions 2 and 3 as a separate body, the bra 1 can be fitted to the body according to the size and shape of the left and right breasts for each wearer.

[0019] Also, the right cup portion 2 and the left cup portion 3 may be configured to be able to select a combination of different sizes, shapes, colors, patterns, or lace designs on the left and right. Thereby, for example, when there is a size difference between the left and right, it is possible to combine half bodies of appropriate sizes, or to combine half bodies with different lace designs or colors between the left and right.

[0020] FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the cup shapes are different between the left and right, and shows a state in which the contour shapes of the cups are made different between the right cup portion 2A and the left cup portion 3A. Thereby, the wearer can combine half bodies of different shapes between the left and right according to the left and right breast shapes and the desired covering mode.

[0021] FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which the cup sizes are different between the left and right, and shows a state in which the sizes of the cups are made different between the right cup portion 2B and the left cup portion 3B. Thereby, the wearer can combine half bodies of appropriate sizes according to the left-right difference.

[0022] Furthermore, the specific shape of the front connector 4, the number of hooks on the rear connector 5, the width of the shoulder straps, the material of the cup portion, the presence or absence of lace, or the specific dimensions of the cup portion are not limited to those shown in the illustrations and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of this invention.

[0023] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from its essence. [Explanation of symbols]
