AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a bra structure that is made from a single piece of 3D fabric, which is seamless and conformable to breasts. The bra is thin, lightweight, and comfortable, with good air-permeability and high breast-supporting capacity. It can be worn externally for a fashion effect. Furthermore, the fabrication time and cost of the bra are reduced.

Problems solved by technology

As the conventional cups 12 use two or more types of fabrics, the fabrication thereof is complicated, time-consuming, and high-cost.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]Refer to FIG. 2 a diagram schematically showing a bra structure according to one embodiment of the present invention. The bra structure 30 of the present invention comprises two cups 32 and 32′ connected to each other. Two wings 34 and 34′ are respectively extended from the edges of the two cups 32 and 32′. A single piece of a seamless 3D fabric substrate 36 is compression-molded to integrally form the cups 32 and 32′ and the wings 34 and 34′. Refer to FIG. 3, each of the cups 32 and 32′ includes an apex area 321 (or 321′) and a peripheral area 322 (or 322′). The wings 34 and 34′ are respectively extended from the edges of the peripheral areas 322 and 322′. As shown in FIG. 3, after compression-molding, the 3D fabric substrate 36 has a larger thickness in the apex areas 321 and 321′ than in the peripheral areas 322 and 322′ and the wings 34 and 34′.

[0021]In one embodiment, the apex areas 321 and 321′ are respectively about at the centers of the cups 32 and 32′. Each of the ape...

Abstract

A bra structure comprises two cups connected to each other. Each cup has an apex area and a peripheral area. A wing extends from the edge of each peripheral area. The ends of two wings, which are far away from the cups, can be fastened together. A single piece of a seamless 3D fabric substrate, such as a spacer fabric or a sandwich fabric, is compression-molded to integrally form two cups and two wings. After compression-molding, the 3D fabric substrate has a greater thickness in the apex area than in the peripheral area. The bra structure is seamless, air-permeable, thin, lightweight, pressure-free, and comfortable. Further, the bra structure is fast to fabricate and low in fabrication cost.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to a bra structure, particularly to an air-permeable, thin and lightweight bra structure.2. Description of the Prior Art[0002]Brassieres are the most intimate clothes for women. As the living quality has been greatly upgraded, consumers demand higher quality and comfort of brassieres. Refer to FIG. 1, a common brassiere 10 includes left and right cups 12, left and right wings 14, left and right shoulder straps 16, and a back fastener 18. The left and right wings 14, left and right shoulder straps 16 are usually fabricated by sewing together several pieces of identical fabric or different fabrics with many seams 20 thereon. The seams 20 affect esthetics and comfort. The conventional cup 12 at least uses two types of fabrics, including the outer fabric and the inner fabric, or further including Polyurethane (PU) sponge foam or a cotton fabric between the outer fabric and the inner fabric. As the co...
