Benefits of technology

The invention is an arched bra wire that is designed to match the shape of a woman's breastbone. It has higher shaping ability and comfort degree compared to existing bra wires. The arched bra wire is in the shape of an arc, with a first part facing the middle of the bra and a second part deviating from the middle part of the bra. The bra wire has a smooth transition between the first and second parts and only the arc-shaped section has the oblique angle that matches the bra shape. The bra wire is embedded on the lower edge of a bra cup and plays a supporting role. It can match the outer profile of the human body and provide an upward support force after the bra is worn, achieving the better shaping purpose. The bra wire is made to be flat for further improving comfort degree in wearing the bra. The invention allows for a natural shaping and comfortable wearing of the bra.

Problems solved by technology

The earliest 2D bra wire was formed by bending a planar steel wire, the whole bra wire was arranged on the same plane, and the bra wire was not designed against the breast shape of a human body, thereby being uncomfortable to wear and being not ideal in shaping effect.
In the aspect of shaping, there is no significant improvement.
Furthermore, the improvements of the bra wires mainly consider the matching between the bra wires and the breast curves; however, during the process of wearing the bras, the bra wires are mainly jointed with the chest bones of the human bodies and supported by breastbones, and the discomfort caused by wearing of the bras is mainly from the friction between the bra parts supported by the bra wires and the bones.
But the existing bra wires are not designed according to the shape of the bones of the human bodies, and the comfort degree still needs to be improved.

embodiment 1

[0035]As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, an arched bra wire is used for being embedded on the lower edge of a bra cup for playing a supporting role (only one is shown in the figures) and is formed by bending a steel wire, the whole bra wire is in the shape of an arc, the bra wire comprises a first part 1 facing towards the middle part of the bra and a second part 2 deviating from the middle part of the bra, the first part 1 and the second part 2 are inclined plane sections, an arc-shaped section 3 is arranged between the first part 1 and the second part 2, and at least part of the arc-shaped section 3 is arched to the outer side of the bra for being in the shape of the arc. As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the highest height d of the arc-shaped arch at the middle of the arc-shaped section 3 is 5 mm.

[0036]From FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, we can see that the steel wire for constituting the bra wire is made to be flat, a plane is formed at the bottom part of the first part 1 and the second part 2, the midd...

embodiment 2

[0037]As shown in FIGS. 5-7, an arched bra wire is used for being embedded on the lower edge of a bra cup for playing a supporting role (only one is shown in the figures) and is formed by bending a steel wire, the whole bra wire is in the shape of an arc, the bra wire comprises a first part 11 facing towards the middle part of the bra and a second part 21 deviating from the middle part of the bra, the first part 11 and the second part 21 are inclined plane sections, an arc-shaped section 31 is arranged between the first part 1 and the second part 2, and at least part of the arc-shaped section 31 is arched to the outer side of the bra for being in the shape of the arc. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the highest height dl of the arc-shaped arch at the middle of the arc-shaped section 31 is 8 mm.

[0038]From the sectional views of FIG. 8-FIG. 10, we can see that the steel wire constituting the bra wire is flat, the steel wire has an oblique angle a1, from the figures, we can see that the fir...

embodiment 3

[0039]As shown in FIGS. 11-13, a bra wire is used for being embedded on the lower edge of a bra cup for playing a supporting role (only one is shown in the figures) and is formed by bending a steel wire, the whole bra wire is in the shape of an arc, the bra wire comprises a first part 12 facing towards the middle part of the bra and a second part 22 deviating from the middle part of the bra, the first part 12 and the second part 22 are inclined plane sections, an arc-shaped section 32 is arranged between the first part 1 and the second part 2, and at least part of the arc-shaped section 32 is arched to the outer side of the bra for being in the shape of the arc. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 13, the highest height d2 of the arc-shaped arch at the middle of the arc-shaped section 32 is 10 mm.

[0040]From the sectional views of FIG. 14-FIG. 16, we can see that only the arc-shaped section part 32 has the oblique angle a2 which is in line with the bra shape, a2 is 54 degrees, and the first par...

Abstract

An arched bra wire is formed by bending a steel wire, the whole bra wire is in the shape of an arc, the bra wire comprises a first part facing towards the middle part of the bra and a second part deviating from the middle part of the bra, the first part and the second part are inclined plane sections, an arc-shaped section is arranged between the first part and the second part, and the improvement is that at least part of the arc-shaped section is arched to the outer side of the bra for being in the shape of the arc. The arc-shaped arching of the bra wire aims at matching with the breastbone shape of the human body and the bra part supported by the bra wire is also in the shape of the arc.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to the field of female underwear and swimsuits, in particular to an arched bra wire, which is more in line with the breast shape of a woman and has higher comfort degree and shaping aesthetics.[0002]As for existing bras, corsets and other female underwear, in order to realize better shaping, semi-circular bra wires are usually lined below cups. The earliest 2D bra wire was formed by bending a planar steel wire, the whole bra wire was arranged on the same plane, and the bra wire was not designed against the breast shape of a human body, thereby being uncomfortable to wear and being not ideal in shaping effect. In order to improve the comfort degree and the shaping effect of the bra wires, many underwear manufacturers perform various improvements on the bra wires.[0003]The existing improvement measures are mainly as follows: such as Chinese patent in the patent number of 200710029877.3, European patent application in the applicati...
