Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bras, in particular to a shoulder strap assembly and a bra. Background Art

[0002] A bra is primarily composed of a shoulder strap assembly, cups, and back straps, with the cups and back straps connected via the shoulder strap assembly. The shoulder strap assembly can be used to secure the cups and hold the bra in place. The shoulder strap assembly includes shoulder straps and adjustment buckles. Due to differences in breast size and dressing habits among different users, the length of the shoulder straps often needs to be adjusted to suit the user's wearing needs. However, after adjusting the shoulder strap length, the user often needs to put on and take off the bra, and external forces inevitably change the adjusted shoulder strap length. The next time the user puts on the bra, the shoulder strap length must be adjusted again, which is a rather troublesome operation. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a shoulder strap assembly and a bra, which can position the shoulder straps after adjusting their length, thereby solving the problem of needing to frequently adjust the length of the shoulder straps.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is achieved as follows:

[0005] On the one hand, the utility model proposes a shoulder strap assembly, which includes a shoulder strap and an adjustment buckle, and the adjustment buckle includes a separator rod and a baffle. The separator rod is arranged inside the adjustment buckle and separates the adjustment buckle into an upper frame and a lower frame. The baffle is rotatably connected to the upper side of the upper frame, and a clip is provided on the lower side of the baffle, and the clip can clamp the separator rod. When adjusting, the clip and the separator rod are separated to prevent the baffle from affecting the pulling of the shoulder strap. After the adjustment is completed, the user flips the baffle toward the separator rod so that the baffle is located inside the upper frame and the clip clamps the separator rod. The baffle and the clip are used to limit the shoulder strap with adjusted length to prevent the shoulder strap from sliding in the adjustment buckle due to external pulling during long-term use, multiple wearing and washing, and to prevent the user from repeatedly adjusting the length of the shoulder strap.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper side of the upper frame is connected to a rotating shaft, and a mounting hole is provided on the upper side of the baffle. The rotating shaft passes through the mounting hole, and the baffle can be flipped around the rotating shaft to realize the rotational connection between the baffle and the upper frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the shoulder strap comprises a first end, a shoulder strap body, and a second end, the first and second ends forming the leading and trailing ends of the shoulder strap, respectively. The first end passes through the lower frame from the rear side, wraps around the front side of the dividing rod, and then exits from the front side of the upper frame. The second end passes through the lower frame and connects to the shoulder strap body. A single layer of material is provided at the dividing rod, making it easy to stretch the shoulder strap to adjust its length.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of anti-slip portions are provided on the side of the shoulder strap facing the user to reduce the slipping of the shoulder strap.

[0009] Furthermore, the anti-slip portions are arranged in sequence, with one side of the anti-slip portion being a connecting end and the other side being a free end. Two adjacent anti-slip portions are respectively a first anti-slip portion and a second anti-slip portion. The connecting end of the first anti-slip portion is connected to the shoulder strap, and the connecting end of the second anti-slip portion is connected to the shoulder strap and is arranged below the first anti-slip portion. The free end of the second anti-slip portion extends beyond the free end of the first anti-slip portion. The anti-slip portions can weaken some of the elastic force of the shoulder strap, preventing the user from feeling squeezed by excessive elastic force.

[0010] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a bra that utilizes the aforementioned shoulder strap assembly, comprising a back strap, a lower strap, a support strap, and a cup. The cups are symmetrically provided with two support straps connected to the bottoms of the cups, and the support straps are adapted to the curvature of the cups at the connection. The first ends of the shoulder straps are connected to the support straps. The tension of the shoulder straps can act on the support straps, thereby pulling the breasts with the support straps to provide support for the breasts.

[0011] Furthermore, the connection between the support belt and the cup is arranged in the interlayer of the cup, thereby improving the aesthetics and overall flatness of the bra.

[0012] Furthermore, the support strap includes a first curved portion, a connecting portion, and a second curved portion. The left and right sides of the connecting portion are respectively connected to the first and second curved portions. Part of the first curved portion is disposed below the left cup, and another part extends from the left cup to connect to the left shoulder strap. Part of the second curved portion is disposed below the right cup, and another part extends from the right cup to connect to the right shoulder strap. In addition to connecting the first and second curved portions, the connecting portion also connects the left and right cups, eliminating the need for a bra's heart-shaped bra.

[0013] Furthermore, the shoulder straps and support straps are integrally formed, which facilitates processing and manufacturing and can improve the support effect on the chest.

[0014] Furthermore, a connection knot is formed between the second end of the shoulder strap and the shoulder strap body on the side facing the lower frame. The connection knot is connected to the shoulder strap via a connection buckle and is used to position the shoulder strap on the shoulder strap.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the shoulder strap assembly and bra of the present invention have the following advantages:

[0016] (1) Use baffles and clips to limit the adjusted shoulder straps to prevent the shoulder straps from sliding in the adjustment buckle due to external forces during long-term use, repeated wearing, and washing, and to avoid users repeatedly adjusting the shoulder strap length;

[0017] (2) The anti-slip part can prevent the shoulder straps from slipping, reduce the user's frequent adjustments to the bra, and improve the comfort of wearing the bra. At the same time, the anti-slip part can weaken part of the elasticity of the shoulder straps, preventing the user from feeling squeezed by excessive elasticity of the shoulder straps;

[0018] (3) By arranging a support belt on the cup and connecting the support belt with the shoulder strap, the support belt has an arc shape that matches the cup contour. The support belt supports the chest with the help of the tension of the shoulder strap, plays a role in shaping the chest, making the chest look more stylish and improving wearing comfort.

[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments. The embodiments described in the present invention are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear" and the like, indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The embodiments of the present invention and the features therein may be combined unless otherwise specified.

[0029] The inner side mentioned in the present invention refers to the side facing the user's body when the user wears the bra, and the outer side refers to the side away from the user's body.

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a shoulder strap assembly of the present invention includes a shoulder strap 1 and an adjustment buckle 2, the adjustment buckle 2 includes a dividing rod 21 and a baffle 22, the dividing rod 21 is arranged inside the adjustment buckle 2, and divides the adjustment buckle 2 into an upper frame 23 and a lower frame 24, the baffle 22 and the upper side of the upper frame 23 are rotatably connected, and a clip 25 is provided on the lower side of the baffle 22, and the clip 25 can clamp the dividing rod 21.

[0031] The shoulder strap assembly is mounted on a bra. To meet the wearing needs of users of different body shapes and adjust comfort, the shoulder strap 1 is adjusted in length using an adjustment buckle 2. When using the adjustment buckle 2, one end of the shoulder strap 1 passes through the lower frame 24, around the separator rod 21, and then out of the upper frame 23. The length of the shoulder strap 1 is changed by pulling the shoulder strap 1. During adjustment, the clip 25 separates from the separator rod 21 to prevent the baffle 22 from interfering with the pulling of the shoulder strap 1. After adjustment, the user flips the baffle 22 toward the separator rod 21, positioning it inside the upper frame 23 and clamping the separator rod 21. The baffle 22 and clip 25 limit the adjusted shoulder strap 1, preventing the shoulder strap 1 from slipping within the adjustment buckle 2 due to external forces during prolonged use, repeated wearing, and washing, and thus preventing the user from repeatedly adjusting the length of the shoulder strap 1.

[0032] Specific to the utility model Figure 1 In the embodiment, the adjusting buckle 2 is a Japanese-shaped buckle. The Japanese-shaped buckle has the advantages of simple structure and easy operation.

[0033] The upper side of the upper frame 23 is connected to the rotating shaft 3. The upper side of the baffle 22 is provided with a mounting hole, through which the rotating shaft 3 extends. The baffle 22 can be rotated about the rotating shaft 3, thereby achieving a rotational connection between the baffle 22 and the upper frame 23. One side of the rotating shaft 3 is connected to the left side of the upper frame 23, and the other side is connected to the right side of the upper frame 23, thereby positioning the rotating shaft 3 on the upper side of the upper frame 23.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the upper frame 23 is greater than that of the baffle 22. This ensures that when the clip 25 is in the position of clamping the dividing rod 21, the baffle 22 is located inside the upper frame 23. The baffle 22 does not protrude from the upper frame 23 in the inner and outer directions, thus avoiding the formation of protrusions on the inner and outer sides of the adjustment buckle 2, which would be detrimental to the smoothness and aesthetics. The thickness described here refers to the front-to-back direction in the figure, that is, the inner and outer sides of the bra.

[0035] The side of the adjustment buckle 2 facing the user's chest is defined as the back side, and the side of the adjustment buckle 2 facing away from the user's chest is defined as the front side. The shoulder strap 1 comprises a first end 11, a shoulder strap body, and a second end 12. The shoulder strap body is connected to the first and second ends 11 and 12, respectively, forming the first and second ends of the shoulder strap 1. The first end 11 passes through the lower frame 24 from the back side, wraps around the front side of the divider bar 21, and then exits from the front side of the upper frame 23. The second end 12 passes through the lower frame 24 and connects to the shoulder strap body. A single layer of material is placed at the divider bar 21, facilitating stretching the shoulder strap 1 for length adjustment. In the prior art, the second end 12 of the shoulder strap 1 wraps around the front side of the divider bar 21 and exits from the upper frame 23 before connecting to the shoulder strap body. This prior art arrangement results in two layers of material overlapping at the divider bar 21. This not only creates an unsightly bulge when the user puts on outerwear, but also increases the difficulty of stretching the shoulder strap 1 for length adjustment.

[0036] As a preferred example of the present invention, the shoulder strap 1 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip portions 5 on the side facing the user, such as Figure 4 As shown, the anti-slip portions 5 are arranged in sequence, with a connecting end 51 on one side and a free end 52 on the other. Two adjacent anti-slip portions 5 are respectively a first anti-slip portion and a second anti-slip portion. The connecting end 51 of the first anti-slip portion is connected to the shoulder strap 1, while the connecting end 51 of the second anti-slip portion is connected to the shoulder strap 1 and is arranged below the first anti-slip portion. The free end 52 of the second anti-slip portion extends beyond the free end 52 of the first anti-slip portion. The provision of the anti-slip portions 5 prevents the shoulder strap 1 from slipping due to improper adjustment or other reasons, reducing the need for frequent bra adjustments and improving the comfort of the bra. Furthermore, the anti-slip portions 5 can reduce some of the elasticity of the shoulder strap 1, preventing the user from feeling squeezed by excessive elasticity.

[0037] Considering that the shoulder strap 1 needs to be adjusted in length through the adjustment buckle 2, if too many anti-slip portions 5 are provided, it will be difficult for the anti-slip portions 5 to pass through the adjustment buckle 2. Therefore, the anti-slip portions 5 are only provided at the shoulder strap 1 close to the user's back, so that the portion of the shoulder strap 1 located at the user's back will not pass through the adjustment buckle 2.

[0038] The present invention also provides a bra that utilizes the aforementioned shoulder strap structure. The bra includes a back strap 6, a lower base 7, a support strap 8, and cups 9. Two cups 9 are symmetrically arranged, each supporting strap 8 connected to the bottom of the cup 9, with the support strap 8 matching the curvature of the cup 9 at the connection. A first end 11 of the shoulder strap 1 is connected to the support strap 8, and the back strap 6 is connected to the left and right sides of the cup 9, respectively. Because the shoulder strap 1 is connected to the support strap 8, the tension of the shoulder strap 1 can act on the support strap 8, which pulls on the chest and provides support. Especially for users with larger breasts, in addition to using the cups 9 to gather and support the breasts, the support strap 8 also provides support, effectively improving the stability of the bra and enhancing wearing comfort. Because the support strap 8 has an arcuate shape that matches the bottom of the cup 9, it can better support and hold the user's breasts, making the breasts appear more upright.

[0039] In order to improve the aesthetics and overall flatness of the bra, the connection between the support belt 8 and the cup 9 is arranged in the interlayer of the cup 9 to hide the connection.

[0040] Furthermore, the support strap 8 includes a first curved portion, a connecting portion, and a second curved portion. The left and right sides of the connecting portion are respectively connected to the first curved portion and the second curved portion. Part of the first curved portion is arranged below the left cup 9, and the other part extends from the left cup and is connected to the shoulder strap 1 on the left. Part of the second curved portion is arranged below the right cup 9, and the other part extends from the right cup 9 and is connected to the shoulder strap 1 on the right. In addition to connecting the first and second curved portions, the connecting portion also connects the left and right cups 9, eliminating the need for a bra with a heart-shaped portion.

[0041] As a preferred example of the present invention, the shoulder strap 1 and the support strap 8 are integrally formed, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing and can improve the supporting effect on the chest.

[0042] The second end 12 of the shoulder strap 1 and the shoulder strap body form a connecting knot 10 on the side facing the lower frame 24. This connecting knot 10 is connected to the shoulder strap 6 via a connecting buckle 4, used to position the shoulder strap 1 on the shoulder strap 6. Specifically, the connecting buckle 4 is a 9-shaped buckle. A lower tie 7 is provided at the lower edge of the bra. This lower tie 7 is used to adapt to the user's underbust and further secure the bra cup 9 to reduce cup displacement.

[0043] The bra of the present invention is provided with a support belt 8 on the cup 9, and the support belt 8 is connected to the shoulder strap 1. The support belt 8 has an arc shape that is adapted to the contour of the cup 9. The support belt 8 supports the chest with the help of the tension of the shoulder strap 1, plays a role in shaping the chest, makes the chest look more stylish, and improves the wearing comfort.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
