[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in some embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in , this embodiment is a bra, comprising a cup 11 and a shoulder strap 12. The cup 11 comprises a base fabric layer 111 and a surface fabric layer 112, which are made of a single piece of fabric. The base fabric layer 111 and the surface fabric layer 112 are folded along a pair of folding lines and then attached to each other. A front collar area 114 is provided at the folded portion of the cup 11.

[0029] A gap 115 is formed between the base fabric layer 111 and the surface fabric layer 112 in the front collar region 114 . The front collar region 114 is provided with a plurality of through holes 116 arranged at intervals and connected to the gap 115 along the fold line direction. The through holes 116 are used to detachably connect the hook 121 of the shoulder strap 12 .

[0030] In this way, the cup 11 is formed by folding and pasting a base fabric layer 111 and a surface fabric layer 112 which are made of a piece of fabric. The cup 11 is an integrated structure with a beautiful and clean neckline. A through hole 116 is provided in the front collar area 114, and the base fabric layer 111 and the surface fabric layer 112 in the front collar area 114 are ensured to be loosened, and some gap space is reserved to facilitate the removal of the hook 121 of the shoulder strap 12, so as to meet the needs of consumers to adjust the connection position of the shoulder strap 12 as they like. The hidden through hole 116 has a more beautiful appearance and the close-fitting part is smoother and more comfortable.

[0031] In this embodiment, the cup 11 includes two symmetrically arranged bowls 119, and the two bowls 119 are in an integrated structure. The cup 11 in this embodiment is the core component of the bra, and the figure only shows the cup label. The bra may also include but is not limited to back straps, side straps, and bottom straps.

[0032] In this embodiment, the fabric is a single-layer fabric. In another embodiment, the fabric may be a composite fabric formed by laminating a fabric layer and a cotton layer, or may be a multi-layer fabric that is superimposed, bonded, and spliced, wherein the multi-layer fabric may be spliced ​​with the same fabric or different fabrics.

[0033] In this embodiment, an intermediate cotton layer 113 is sandwiched between the bottom fabric layer 111 and the surface fabric layer 112. The intermediate cotton layer 113 increases the thickness of the cup 11 to achieve a cushioning effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, a reinforcing layer 117 is provided inside the front collar region 114, the reinforcing layer 117 is bonded to the inner surface of the front collar region 114, and the through hole 116 extends through the reinforcing layer 117. Optionally, the reinforcing layer 117 is a fabric layer or a plastic material layer, and the plastic material can be PU, TPU, etc.

[0035] In this embodiment, the base fabric layer 111, the surface fabric layer 112, the middle cotton layer 113 and the reinforcement layer 117 are bonded and connected by integral molding.

[0036] Exemplarily, the integrated structure of the cup 11 is realized by using molding technology, ultrasonic technology and a combination of multiple materials. The base fabric layer 111 and the surface fabric layer 112 are made of the same material in one piece, and the appearance is a whole piece of fabric. The fabric and the middle cotton layer 113 are sequentially stacked and laid on the mold for hot pressing. The mold has two similar crests, and the crests form two bowls 119 of the cup 11. The trough between the crests corresponds to the front collar area 114. When the left and right crest materials are formed, they are folded together along the troughs.

[0037] Before the pressed fabric is folded in half, a reinforcing layer 117 is first bonded to the front collar region 114. The reinforcing layer 117 is used to improve the tensile strength of the rear front collar region 114 to prevent damage. The reinforcing layer 117 is first punched with through holes 116 at the trough position together with the one-piece fabric mentioned above and then folded in half. The reinforcing layer 117 is hidden in the middle of the inner surface of the front collar region 114.

[0038] After being folded in half, it is hot-pressed again, and each layer is bonded and fixed by an adhesive material to improve the shaping ability of the cup 11 and avoid deformation of the shoulder strap 12 after being pulled. The front collar area 114 near the edge of the cup 11 will not be fully bonded, and some gaps will be reserved to facilitate the hook 121 of the shoulder strap 12 to pass through at the back.

[0039] The embodiments of the present application have been described above, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical applications, or improvements to the technology in the market, or to enable other persons of ordinary skill in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
