Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a side-support bra for auxiliary breast tissue, and is applied in the field of underwear technology. Background Technology
[0002] Underwear is a type of intimate clothing worn by women daily, designed to support and protect the breasts. Currently, there are many different styles and structures of underwear available, including push-up and shaping bras, lightweight and comfortable bras, and seamless bras.
[0003] Based on market analysis of lingerie, most products prioritize comfort while neglecting consumers' needs for how the product looks on the body. Research shows that consumers require products that are comfortable while also providing side support and minimizing the appearance of underarm fat. Currently, the structural technology used in lingerie for side support and minimizing underarm fat is relatively simple. Most of them simply add cartilage to push the breasts inward, which helps to gather the breasts and reduce outward expansion, thus achieving the effect of side support and minimizing underarm fat. However, because the pressure area of the cartilage is small, it can cause a certain amount of pressure and make the user uncomfortable to wear. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the issue that existing bras that support side breast tissue involve directly attaching cartilage to the side panel, which can cause discomfort due to the small surface area of the cartilage and the resulting pressure, this invention provides a side-support bra that incorporates a non-elastic flexible pad on the side of the cartilage closest to the skin. This non-elastic flexible pad is wider and longer than the cartilage, thus distributing pressure across the cartilage. The non-elastic flexible pad, being close to the skin, provides greater comfort than direct pressure on the cartilage.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a side-supporting bra for accessory breast tissue, the bra including a main body, the main body including a cover, side straps and support bones, the side strap including a side panel and a back panel, one end of the side panel being connected to the outside of the cover, the back panel being connected to the other end of the side panel, the support bone being disposed at the connection between the side panel and the back panel, the support bone including cartilage and a non-elastic flexible pad, the width of the non-elastic flexible pad being wider than the width of the cartilage, the length of the non-elastic flexible pad being longer than the length of the cartilage, the cartilage being disposed on the non-elastic flexible pad, and the non-elastic flexible pad being disposed close to the inner side of the main body of the bra.
[0006] Furthermore, the non-elastic flexible pad wraps around the cartilage, and the non-elastic flexible pad is flattened after wrapping the cartilage.
[0007] Furthermore, the supporting bone also includes a connecting piece, and the cartilage is disposed between the inelastic flexible pad and the connecting piece, and the inelastic flexible pad and the connecting piece are combined so that the inelastic flexible pad and the connecting piece wrap around the cartilage.
[0008] Furthermore, an opening and an installation space are reserved between the non-elastic flexible pad and the connecting piece. The cartilage is installed in the installation space through the opening, and the opening is glued after the cartilage is installed in the installation space.
[0009] Further, the side panel includes a first layer of fabric A and a second layer of fabric A, and the back panel includes a first layer of fabric B and a second layer of fabric B. The first layer of fabric A is connected to the first layer of fabric B and forms the inner layer of the side panel. The second layer of fabric A is connected to the second layer of fabric B and forms the outer layer of the side panel. The non-elastic flexible pad and the connecting piece are both disposed between the inner layer of fabric and the outer layer of fabric. The non-elastic flexible pad is connected to the inner layer of fabric, and the connecting piece is connected to the outer layer of fabric.
[0010] Furthermore, the thickness of the non-elastic flexible pad is greater than the thickness of the connecting piece, and the connecting piece is disposed near the outer side of the underwear body, while the non-elastic flexible pad is disposed near the inner side of the underwear body.
[0011] Furthermore, a thin layer of adhesive is laid on the outer side of the connecting piece, and the connecting piece is connected to the outer fabric through the thin layer of adhesive.
[0012] Furthermore, the non-elastic flexible pad is connected to the inner fabric by dispensing adhesive.
[0013] Furthermore, after the support bone is disposed between the first layer of fabric A and the second layer of fabric A, the first layer of fabric A and the second layer of fabric A located around the support bone are bonded together.
[0014] Furthermore, the thin adhesive is provided with a protective film that can cover the thin adhesive.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a side-support bra for accessory breast tissue. A non-elastic flexible pad is provided on the cartilage, positioned closer to the skin. The non-elastic flexible pad is wider and longer than the cartilage, thus distributing pressure on the cartilage. The non-elastic flexible pad, being close to the skin, provides greater comfort than direct pressure on the cartilage. The non-elastic flexible pad and connecting piece wrapping around the cartilage facilitate connection and enhance stability. The non-elastic flexible pad on the skin-closed side of the cartilage and the connecting piece near the outer side of the bra body facilitate the overall installation of the support bone in the middle layer of the side straps, and ensures a smooth and aesthetically pleasing outer surface of the bra body after installation.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a side-support bra for accessory breast tissue. The bra includes a main body 100, which includes a cover body 11, side straps 12, and support bones 13. The side straps 12 include a side panel 121 and a back panel 122. One end of the side panel 121 is connected to the outside of the cover body 11, and the back panel 122 is connected to the other end of the side panel 121. The support bones 13 are located at the connection between the side panel 121 and the back panel 122. The support bones 13 include cartilage 131 and a non-elastic flexible pad 1321. The width of the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is wider than the width of the cartilage 131, and the length of the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is longer than the length of the cartilage 131. The cartilage 131 is located on the non-elastic flexible pad 1321, and the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is close to the main body 100. The inner side of the underwear body 100 is the side closest to the skin. Because existing technologies only use a single cartilage 131, and the back panels of the underwear fasten together, the cartilage 131 is pressed tightly against the skin. However, the cartilage 131 has a relatively small width. Therefore, a non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is provided to conform to the skin surface, acting as a pressure-distributing element for the cartilage 131. In other words, the non-elastic flexible pad 1321, which is wider and longer than the cartilage 131, provides greater pressure distribution. This non-elastic flexible pad 1321, being closer to the skin, offers greater comfort than direct pressure from the cartilage 131. The non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is preferably made of non-elastic polyester fiber. The non-elastic flexible material was chosen because it is more comfortable to fit the skin. Harder materials are not used, otherwise users will feel uncomfortable. It should be noted that since the non-elastic flexible material may be as thin as paper, if only one layer is used, it is equivalent to not distributing pressure on the cartilage 131. Therefore, multiple layers are needed to increase the thickness so that the cartilage 131 can distribute pressure. When the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the cartilage 131 tighten the accessory breast, the user will not feel any pressure. The aforementioned cartilage 131 can be plastic, soft steel, or a material with a certain degree of support and elasticity.
[0022] In this embodiment, the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 wraps around the cartilage 131. It should be noted that the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 wraps around the cartilage 131, and the side of the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is thicker, while the side of the cartilage 131 closest to the skin and the opposite side closest to the skin are thinner than the side. That is, the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is flat, not circular. If it were circular and wrapped around the cartilage 131, it would not be able to achieve pressure distribution.
[0023] In this embodiment, the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 also includes a connecting piece 1322. The cartilage 131 is disposed between the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connecting piece 1322, and the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connecting piece 1322 are combined. Preferably, the combination is achieved by adhesive bonding, which is commonly used in the underwear industry. Other methods, such as sewing, can also be used to wrap the cartilage 131 with the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connecting piece 1322. It should be noted that both the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connecting piece 1322 need to have a certain thickness to achieve the effect of distributing the pressure of the cartilage 131. The specific thickness can be achieved by the fabric itself having a certain thickness, or by the combination of multiple layers of fabric. Using the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connecting piece 1322 facilitates the connection between the cartilage 131 and the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connection stability is higher, which makes it easier for the support bone 13 to be installed as a whole in the middle layer of the side strap 12.
[0024] In this embodiment, an opening and an installation space 133 are reserved between the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connecting piece 1322. The cartilage 131 is installed in the installation space 133 through the opening, and after the cartilage 131 is installed in the installation space 133, the opening is glued. This structure makes it easier to install the cartilage 131 and the assembly procedure is simpler. Alternatively, the cartilage 131 can be placed between the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connecting piece 1322 first, and then the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connecting piece 1322 can be glued. This assembly procedure is more complicated, but it is not limited to how the non-elastic flexible pad 1321, the connecting piece 1322 and the cartilage 131 are specifically assembled. The opening is provided so that the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connecting piece 1322 are glued around the perimeter, but there is an opening that allows the cartilage 131 to enter the installation space 133.
[0025] In this embodiment, the side panel 121 includes a first layer of fabric A1211 and a second layer of fabric A1212, and the back panel 122 includes a first layer of fabric B1221 and a second layer of fabric B1222. The first layer of fabric A1211 and the first layer of fabric B1221 are connected to form an inner layer of fabric 101 for the side band 12. The inner layer of fabric 101 is the fabric closest to the skin. The second layer of fabric A1212 and the second layer of fabric B1222 are connected to form an outer layer of fabric 102 for the side band 12. A non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and a connecting piece 1322 are both disposed between the inner layer of fabric 101 and the outer layer of fabric 102. The non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is connected to the inner layer of fabric 101, and the connecting piece 1322 is connected to the outer layer of fabric 102. The side strap 12 is composed of two layers of fabric with a hollow space between them. The support bone 13 is located between the two layers of fabric. The non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connecting piece 1322 are respectively bonded to the inner fabric 101 and the outer fabric 102. The non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connecting piece 1322 can be bonded to the side strap 12 more firmly. Preferably, the support bone 13 also includes the connecting piece 1322. The non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is located on the side closer to the skin, and the connecting piece is located on the side of the cartilage 131 away from the skin. The advantage of this arrangement is that while distributing the pressure of the cartilage 131 on the skin, it also makes it easy to bond the support bone 13 to the outer fabric 102 of the underwear body, and the surface is smooth after bonding.
[0026] In another embodiment, the support bone 13 includes only a non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and no connecting piece 1322. The non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is only provided on the side close to the skin and not on the side away from the skin. The pressure distribution effect can be achieved by the first pad provided on the side close to the skin. At this time, when the support bone 13 is bonded to the side panel 121, the first pad is bonded to both the inner fabric 101 and the outer fabric 102 at the same time. Since no connecting piece is provided, the cartilage 131 can be clearly felt on the outside of the underwear body after the bonding is completed.
[0027] In this embodiment, a thin adhesive is laid on the outer side 1323 of the connecting piece 1322. The connecting piece 1322 is connected to the outer fabric 102 through the thin adhesive. A non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is connected to the outer fabric 102 through the thin adhesive. In this way, the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the outer fabric 102 fit more smoothly, making the underwear more aesthetically pleasing.
[0028] In this embodiment, the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is connected to the inner fabric 101 by dispensing adhesive. A connecting piece is also used to connect to the inner fabric 101 by dispensing adhesive. Dispensing adhesive provides a more stable connection and is less concerned with aesthetics. Therefore, in addition to dispensing adhesive, other stable methods can be used, as long as the surface is relatively flat and stable. If the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is also connected to the inner fabric 101 by thin adhesive, the support bone 13 will not be firmly fixed and will easily fall off due to the weak adhesion of the thin adhesive.
[0029] In this embodiment, a protective film is provided on the thin adhesive to cover it, which makes it more convenient and faster to assemble with the side belt 12 and improves production efficiency, because it can be used directly after the protective film is removed.
[0030] In this embodiment, after the support bone 13 is disposed between the first layer of fabric A1211 and the second layer of fabric A1212, the first layer of fabric A1211 and the second layer of fabric A1212 around the support bone 13 are preferably bonded together to further stabilize the connection between the support bone 13 and the side strap 12.
[0031] In this embodiment, the thickness of the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is greater than the thickness of the connecting piece 1322. The connecting piece 1322 is located near the outer side of the underwear body 100, while the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is located near the inner side of the underwear body 100. Because the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 is closer to the skin, it needs to be softer and has a certain thickness. The function of the connecting piece 1322 is to wrap the cartilage 131 with the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and to connect the outer fabric of the side strap 12. Therefore, it should not be too thick. Moreover, the connecting piece 1322 should be made as thin as possible to make the underwear look more beautiful. If it is too thick, the appearance will not look so good and will affect the user's desire to buy. Of course, there is no such clear boundary between the relative thickness of the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 and the connecting piece 1322. It is only necessary to ensure that the non-elastic flexible pad 1321 has a certain thickness in order to share the pressure of the cartilage 131.
[0032] In this embodiment, the supporting bone 13 is in the shape of a flat strip, such as... Figure 2-3 As shown, both the upper and lower ends are designed with outward-expanding arcs. This shape design increases comfort. If the whole is designed as a flat rectangle with corners, it is easy for the user to move around, and the corners can easily poke the user's skin. Therefore, the support bone 13 should be designed to be smooth. Thus, neither the upper nor the lower end of the support bone 13 is designed with outward-expanding arcs.
[0033] Overall, the pad design effectively reduces the appearance of underarm fat while also providing pressure relief and comfort, greatly enhancing the user experience.
[0034] It should be understood that the application of this utility model is not limited to the examples above. Those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
