Benefits of technology

[0008] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a brassiere which enhances the natural shape of the wearer's breasts by providing two ideally-shaped breast cups centrally joined and supported on a woman's upper chest by use of a surrounding band and, optionally, shoulder straps.
[0009] It is another object of the present invention to provide a brassiere having a multi-layered construction which creates the illusion of an idealized bustline while being comfortable for the wearer.
[0010] It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a brassiere which enhances the illusion of an idealized bustline by providing ar artificial nipple integral with each breast cup.
[0011] It is a further object of the present invention to provide a brassiere wherein each breast cup includes an inner lining adapted to wick away perspiration and minimize chafing.
[0012] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a brassiere of simple and durable construction which can withstand multiple washings and normal wear-and-tear.

Problems solved by technology

It also may be the source of consternation if her bustline does not meet her idealized expectations.
While the natural achievement of an idealized bustline may be unrealistic, especially as a woman ages, the artificial fulfillment of such a desire has been pursued by various means.

second embodiment

[0029] Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 3A, the natural shape enhancing brassiere of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, each breast cup 2 is in the form of a multi-layered structure comprising an outer shell layer 110, an intermediate foam padding layer 120, a padded inner lining layer 130, and an artificial nipple 140. As in embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 2A, the foam padding layer 120 comprises an upper breast slant 121 and a lower breast convex curve 122 and a can be composed of the same materials as intermediate foam enhancing layer 20.

[0030] The intermediate foam padding layer 120 is provided with an aperture 127 adapted to receive the protruding end 141 of the artificial nipple 140. Suitable materials for use as the intermediate foam padding layer include for example, polyester, polyurethane, ethylene vinyl acetate and polyethylene foams.

[0031] The padded inner lining layer 130 also is configured to have a shape complementary to the foam padding layer 120. Prefe...

third embodiment

[0033] Referring now to FIGS. 4 and 4A, the natural shape enhancing brassiere of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, each breast cup 2 comprises an outer shell layer 210 and an inner lining layer 220. The outer shell layer 210 comprises an idealized upper breast slant 211, a desirable lower breast convex curve 212 and a protruding nipple contour 214 which forms a nipple recess 215. The outer shell layer 210 should be constructed from a material which is moldable when heated and will retain its shape after cooling, a suitable example of which is a polyester. Once the outer shell layer is formed and cooled, the nipple recess 215 is filled with a liquid which is capable of hardening and adhering to the outer shell layer, thereby forming an artificial nipple 240. Suitable examples of such a liquid are liquid rubber and liquid silicone rubber. The inner lining layer 220 should be adapted to wick perspiration and provide comfort for the wearer and can be composed of the sa...

Abstract

A natural shape enhancing brassiere comprising a pair of idealized-shaped breast cups centrally joined and supported on a woman's upper chest by use of a surrounding band and, optionally, shoulder straps. Each idealized-shaped breast cup is in the form of a multi-layer construction comprising an intermediate foam layer configured with an idealized upper breast slant and an idealized lower breast convex curve, an outer shell layer composed from a material capable of conforming to the intermediate foam layer and an inner lining layer.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] The present invention generally relates to a brassiere. More specifically, the present invention relates to a brassiere of the padded type which enhances the natural shape of the breast and bustline. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A brassiere serves the primary function of providing support to a woman's breast tissue. A secondary, but often equally important, function of a brassiere it to bestow a perceived improvement in the presentation of a woman's breasts and bustline. At its simplest, a brassiere consists of a pair of breast cups which mold themselves about a woman's breasts and which are supported on the body by a harness. Typically, this harness includes a band surrounding the woman's upper chest and straps connecting from the top of the breast cups, passing over the shoulders and joining or merging to the band at some position along the woman's back. [0003] The public presentation of a clad woman's bustline is a subject which, from antiquity to ...
