[0026] Example 1:

[0027] like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a bra, including: a bra body, side panels 20, side straps 30, back panel 40, and shoulder straps 50. The bra body includes at least two pieces of fabric connected to each other in the thickness direction. There are two side panels 20, which are respectively connected to the two sides of the bra body in the width direction. There are two side straps 30, which correspond one-to-one with the two side panels 20. The two side straps 30 are respectively located in at least two layers of fabric. One end of the side strap 30 is connected to the side panel 20, and the other end of the side strap 30 extends toward the bra body. The back panel 40 is adapted to connect the free ends of the two side panels 20. One end of the shoulder strap 50 is located in at least two layers of fabric and is connected to the free end of the side strap 30. The other end of the shoulder strap 50 is connected to the back panel 40.

[0028] In some embodiments, the bra body is the main part of the bra, and the bra body consists of at least two layers of fabric, which are connected to each other in the thickness direction to form a double-layer (or more) structure. Side panels 20 refer to the wings on both sides of the bra. Side panels 20 are typically used to provide lateral support and secure the bra to the wearer's body. Two side panels 20 are located on either side of the bra body in the width direction. Side straps 30 are located between the multiple layers of fabric in the bra body, with each side panel 20 corresponding to one side strap 30. One end of the side strap 30... Connected to the side panel 20, the other end of the side strap 30 extends toward the bra body to distribute pressure on the breasts and improve lateral support. The back panel 40 connects the free ends of the two side panels 20 and has a buckle so that the wearer can adjust the tightness. One end of the shoulder strap 50 is embedded in the multiple layers of fabric of the bra body and connected to the free end of the side strap 30, while the other end of the shoulder strap 50 is connected to the back panel 40. This allows the shoulder strap 50 to not only provide an upward lifting force but also enhance the lateral support of the breasts through the side strap 30.

[0029] According to the present invention, the shoulder strap 50 is directly connected to the bra body via the side support 30. The shoulder strap 50 can directly bear the pressure from the side support 30, which allows the side support 30 to better help maintain the breast shape, prevent the breast from spreading outward, and improve the breast-gathering effect of the bra. Of course, the side support 30 is set between at least two layers of fabric, which makes the bra appear smoother and more fitted, thereby enhancing the wearer's confidence. It can also prevent the side support 30 from causing friction to the breast, thus improving wearing comfort.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] In this embodiment, based on embodiment one, the top of the free end of the side strap 30 is connected to the other end of the shoulder strap 50.

[0032] In some embodiments, the free end of the side strap 30 refers to the end of the side strap 30 that extends into the bra body, and the top refers to the highest point of the free end of the side strap 30 in the vertical direction.

[0033] Understandably, by connecting the top of the free end of the side strap 30 directly to the back end of the shoulder strap 50, the weight of the breast can be transferred and supported more effectively. This not only reduces the pressure of the shoulder strap 50 on the shoulders but also enhances the overall support of the bra for the breasts, especially the lateral support, which helps maintain a good breast shape. Moreover, the above setup helps prevent the bra from shifting or slipping during wear because the shoulder strap 50, side strap 30, and the bra body form a more stable overall structure.

[0034] Of course, the above settings can also better distribute pressure, so that the load of the bra is not concentrated on the shoulder straps 50, but transferred to the main body of the bra and the back area through the side straps 30, thereby improving the comfort of wearing. At the same time, the above connection method creates a synergistic effect between the shoulder straps 50 and the side straps 30, further stabilizing the position of the bra, especially reducing the possibility of the bra swaying during exercise or daily activities.

[0035] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bra body includes: a first fabric 11 and a second fabric, the outer peripheries of the first fabric 11 and the second fabric are connected to each other, a side strap 30 is located between the first fabric 11 and the second fabric, and the top of the free end of the side strap 30 is connected to the first fabric 11 and the second fabric respectively.

[0036] In some embodiments, the edges of the first fabric 11 and the second fabric are sewn together or otherwise fixed together to form a closed structure. The side strap 30 is located between the first fabric 11 and the second fabric, that is, the side strap 30 is sandwiched between the two layers of fabric to hide the side strap 30 and ensure that the side strap 30 will not easily shift. The end portion of the side strap 30 (the end near the shoulder strap 50) is not only connected to the shoulder strap 50, but the top of the side strap 30 is also additionally fixed to the first fabric 11 and the second fabric of the bra body.

[0037] Understandably, by fixing the side strap 30 between the first fabric 11 and the second fabric, and connecting the top of the free end of the side strap 30 to the first fabric 11 and the second fabric, the overall structural stability of the bra is enhanced. This helps prevent the side strap 30 from slipping or shifting during wear, thus maintaining the bra's design shape and support function. It can also more effectively distribute pressure from the chest, providing better lateral and vertical support. Of course, since the side strap 30 is securely sandwiched between the two layers of fabric, the wearer will not experience any noticeable foreign body sensation, improving wearing comfort. In addition, the even distribution of pressure reduces localized pressure, lowering the possibility of discomfort. At the same time, the side strap 30 is hidden between the first fabric 11 and the second fabric, making the bra's appearance simpler and flatter, without any extra lines or protrusions, increasing visual appeal.

[0038] Example 3:

[0039] Based on Embodiment 2, the side strap 30 is constructed as a third fabric. The third fabric has a symmetrical line in the width direction. The third fabric is folded in half along the symmetrical line. Both ends of the third fabric in the width direction are connected to the side strap 20, and one end of the shoulder strap 50 is connected to the symmetrical line.

[0040] In some embodiments, the side support 30 is made of a separate piece of fabric (i.e., the third fabric), which is specifically used to make the side support 30. The third fabric has a line of symmetry located in the center of the width direction of the fabric. The third fabric is folded along the line of symmetry in the width direction to form a double-layer structure. The folded design can increase the thickness and support of the side support 30. The two sides of the folded third fabric are connected to the side panels 20 on both sides of the bra to ensure that the side support 30 is firmly fixed to the bra body and to provide additional lateral support. One end of the shoulder strap 50 is directly connected to the line of symmetry after the third fabric is folded, so that the shoulder strap 50 can transmit force more effectively while maintaining the structural stability of the bra.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first fabric 11, the second fabric, and the third fabric are all constructed as non-elastic breathable mesh.

[0042] Understandably, non-elastic breathable mesh material effectively promotes airflow and reduces sweat buildup, keeping wearers dry and comfortable at various activity levels. Moreover, because the first, second, and third fabrics have little or no elasticity, they provide more secure support without the need for extra tightness, making them particularly suitable for larger bras or sports bras that require good support. Of course, while non-elastic materials may sound stiff, the breathable mesh design actually helps reduce pressure on the chest by distributing pressure and allowing the skin to breathe, thus reducing discomfort that may occur during prolonged wear. At the same time, the use of non-elastic breathable mesh makes bras easier to wash and maintain, preventing them from losing shape or elasticity due to frequent washing, and helping to extend the lifespan of the bra.

[0043] Example 4:

[0044] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a cup support 60 between the bra body and the side support 30. The height of the cup support 60 gradually increases in the direction towards the side support 20, and the side support 30 is connected to the cup support 60.

[0045] In some embodiments, the cup support 60 is disposed on the lower edge and side edge of the bra body. The shape of the cup support 60 conforms to the lower and side contours of the breast. The cup support 60 can provide additional support to the breast, allowing the two breasts to gather towards the center, thereby improving the lifting force on the breast and thus improving the breast-gathering effect of the bra.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bra further includes: a divider strip 70, which extends in the height direction and is connected to the bra body. The divider strip 70 is adapted to divide the bra body into two bra cups 12 that are symmetrical to each other in the width direction. The bottom of the divider strip 70 is connected to the cup support 60.

[0047] In some embodiments, the divider 70 extends from the top to the bottom of the bra, ensuring support and separation of the bra body throughout its entire height. The divider 70 is fixed to the bra body, increasing the structural stability of the bra body.

[0048] The function of the divider 70 is to ensure that the two bra cups 12 are symmetrical in the width direction, which helps to provide a better fit and support, and avoids compression or outward expansion between the breasts. The lower end of the divider 70 is directly connected to the cup holder 60, which not only strengthens the fixation of the divider 70, but also allows the cup holder 60 to better perform its support function.

[0049] It is worth mentioning that the divider 70 provides additional vertical support, especially in the center of the bra, which helps prevent the bra from shifting or deforming during wear. Moreover, the connection between the divider 70 and the cup support 60 further enhances the overall stability and support performance of the bra, ensuring reliability and comfort during long-term wear.

[0050] Of course, the connection between the divider 70 and the underband 80 makes the divider 70 more stable in the height direction, preventing the bra from rolling down when worn and improving the stability of the bra.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bra further includes: a bottom band 80 and a support strip 90. The bottom band 80 extends in the width direction and is connected to the bottom of the bra body, the side panel 20, and the back panel 40. The support strip 90 extends in the height direction and is disposed between the side panel 20 and the back panel 40. The bottom of the support strip 90 is connected to the bottom band 80, and the projection of the support strip 90 in the thickness direction at least partially overlaps with the bottom band 80.

[0052] In some embodiments, the support bar 90 is a structural member extending in the height direction, the support bar 90 is disposed between the side section 20 and the rear section 40, the bottom of the support bar 90 is connected to the underside 80, and the projection of the support bar 90 (i.e. the shadow when viewed from the side) partially overlaps with the underside 80.

[0053] Understandably, the function of the support strip 90 is to provide additional support to the bra in the width direction. The support strip 90 is suitable for helping to gather breast tissue laterally. By connecting the bottom of the support strip 90 to the underband 80, it ensures that the support strip 90 maintains a stable position throughout the wearing process and does not shift due to movement. This also enhances the effectiveness of the support strip 90 in gathering breast tissue laterally, while ensuring that the support strip 90 effectively distributes pressure and avoids direct compression of the wearer's body. Preferably, the projection of the support strip 90 in the thickness direction is located within the underband 80, meaning that the bottom of the support strip 90 does not extend to the bottom of the underband 80, thereby preventing the support strip 90 from digging into the skin and improving the wearer's comfort.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
