Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of women's underwear technology. More specifically, it relates to a three-dimensional cup and a bra having the cup. Background Technology
[0002] In the women's underwear industry, quilted bras are widely used due to their excellent support and shaping effect. Traditional quilted bras mostly adopt a three-piece structure (i.e., the upper piece is horizontally pieced together and the lower piece is vertically pieced together), and the basic shape of the cup is formed by combining different pieces. However, as consumers' demands for comfort, aesthetics, and functionality have increased, existing technology has gradually revealed some shortcomings, such as insufficient shaping effect, which can easily result in a "flattened" or "stiff" feel after wearing, affecting aesthetics and comfort; insufficient support and lift, resulting in poor stability; and an appearance that makes the bra look larger and more bulky. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above problems, one object of this utility model is to provide a three-dimensional cup that takes into account three-dimensional shaping, high stability and a rounded and compact appearance.
[0004] Another objective of this invention is to provide a bra with the aforementioned three-dimensional cups.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a three-dimensional bra cup is provided, comprising:
[0007] The bra cup body and the front panel attached to the upper edge of the bra cup body;
[0008] The bra cup body has a longitudinally segmented structure, including a first piece, a second piece, a third piece, and a fourth piece arranged sequentially along the gore position towards the cleavage position. The first piece, the second piece, the third piece, and the fourth piece are spliced together to make the bra cup body have a three-dimensional bowl-shaped structure corresponding to the curvature of the human breast.
[0009] The upper edge of the bra cup body forms an S-shaped curve from the center gore to the ear area. The front panel is set along this curve, and the side edge of the front panel away from the bra cup body is a smooth arc.
[0010] The upper edges of the second and at least part of the third pieces are raised upwards and configured to cover the nipples and areolas.
[0011] Alternatively, the area ratio of the front panel to the cup body is 1:3.
[0012] Alternatively, the front panel can be made of non-elastic mesh fabric, formed by folding a single piece of fabric in half, with its open side sewn to the upper edge of the cup body, and the folded edge serving as the front edge of the three-dimensional cup.
[0013] Alternatively, a first sag is provided at the joint between the first and second cut pieces, a second sag is provided at the joint between the second and third cut pieces, and a third sag is provided at the joint between the third and fourth cut pieces.
[0014] The first provincial highway is finished by a first stitching line, the second provincial highway is finished by a second stitching line, and the third provincial highway is finished by a third stitching line.
[0015] Alternatively, the first, second, and third provincial highways can have equal lateral lengths, ranging from 3cm to 6cm.
[0016] Alternatively, the first, second, and third provincial highways can have the same provincial highway angle, which is 15°.
[0017] Alternatively, the ratio of the lengths of the first, second, and third sewing threads can be 1:1.5:1.2.
[0018] Alternatively, the area ratio of the first piece, the second piece, the third piece, and the fourth piece is 0.6:1:1:1.4.
[0019] In addition, an optional solution is that the three-dimensional cup also includes a side panel disposed on the side of the cup body close to human skin and an outer layer covering the outer surface of the cup body;
[0020] The side-gathering piece is an elastic mesh fabric, formed by folding a piece of fabric in half. Its folded edge is separate from the cup body, and its open side is sewn and fixed to the lower edge of the cup body, extending from the cup side to the front center.
[0021] The ratio of the area of the side-gathering piece to the area of the cup body is 1:3.
[0022] According to another aspect of the present invention, a bra is provided, including a side panel, an underband, a back panel, shoulder straps, and a three-dimensional cup.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0024] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a three-dimensional cup and a bra with the same cup. Through the combination of a double-layered non-elastic mesh front panel and a four-piece three-dimensional spliced cup body, the length and angle of the darts are optimized to create a three-dimensional, rounded effect that conforms to the natural curve of the breast for a snug fit. The upper edge of the cup body is divided with an S-shaped curve, ensuring the cup's coverage while creating a more rounded effect, preventing pressure on the chest and improving comfort. The combination of the mesh front panel and the padded cup body creates a visually mini-cup effect, achieving a snug yet smaller appearance. This improves the compatibility and coverage issues of mini-cup products and solves the problem of conventional T-shaped cups that initially appear bulky and compress the chest, visually reducing the bust size by 30%. Side support panels on the inner side of the cup body provide stable support to the bottom of the breast and gather the breast from the sides to the center front for a more rounded and lifted look. In summary, the three-dimensional cup and bra with the cup provided by this utility model embodiment can take into account three-dimensional shaping, high stability and rounded and compact appearance, and has the advantages of comfortable wear, smaller appearance and three-dimensional gathering.

[0034] In this invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features not being in direct contact but through another feature between them.
[0035] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0036] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a three-dimensional bra cup, combined with... Figure 1-5 As shown, the three-dimensional bra cup includes a cup body 1 and a front panel 2 that is attached and fixed to the upper edge of the cup body 1.
[0037] The bra cup body 1 has a longitudinally segmented structure, including a first piece 11, a second piece 12, a third piece 13 and a fourth piece 14 arranged sequentially along the gore position towards the cleavage position. The first piece 11, the second piece 12, the third piece 13 and the fourth piece 14 are spliced together to make the bra cup body 1 have a three-dimensional bowl-shaped structure corresponding to the curvature of the human breast.
[0038] The upper edge of the bra cup body 1 forms an S-shaped curve from the center gore to the ear area. The front panel 2 is set along this curve, and the side edge of the front panel 2 away from the bra cup body 1 has a smooth arc shape.
[0039] The upper edges of the second piece 12 and at least part of the third piece 13 are raised upwards and configured to cover the nipple and areola of the human body.
[0040] In this embodiment, the cup body 1 supports the breast and covers the nipple and areola, while the front panel 2 wraps around the upper part of the breast to prevent breast movement and enhance the stability of the bra. In a specific example, the ratio of the area of the front panel 2 to the area of the cup body 1 is 1:3, which ensures both the support of the cup body 1 and the effective wrapping of the upper part of the breast by the front panel 1, enhancing the stability and coverage of the bra when worn. It should be noted that the area of the front panel 2 refers to the area of the front panel 2 formed by folding the non-elastic mesh fabric in half, not the area of the non-elastic mesh fabric used.
[0041] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the front panel 2 is made of non-elastic mesh fabric, formed by folding a single piece of fabric in half. Its open side 2A is sewn and fixed to the upper edge of the cup body 1, while the folded side 2B serves as the front edge of the three-dimensional cup 1. The front panel 2 is sewn and fixed to the cup body 1 along its S-shaped upper edge, and the shape of the front panel 2 is adjusted during the sewing process to create a smooth arc shape, further enhancing the beauty of the breasts. The non-elastic mesh fabric of the front panel 2, folded in half, utilizes the fabric's elasticity to control its length, better covering the upper part of the breasts. Compared to traditional quilted materials, the front panel 2 is more fitted and lightweight, with a natural and seamless transition to the cup body 1, creating a mini-cup effect. While maintaining the cup's coverage, it overcomes the shortcomings of mini-cup cups in terms of compatibility and poor coverage, resulting in a rounded and smaller appearance, achieving a comprehensive yet petite effect, visually reducing the cup size by 30%.
[0042] The upper edge of the cup body 1 is divided into an S-shaped curve, with a transition from the center gore to the areola, first convex and then concave. This increases the coverage of the cup body 1 at the corresponding nipple and areola positions, providing better coverage, preventing nipple exposure, and offering good support and shaping for the breasts. Furthermore, the S-shaped curve of the upper edge of the cup body 1 reduces the pressure of a conventional straight-cut bra, preventing pressure on the cups and making it more comfortable to wear. For example, to improve the coverage of the portion of the cup body 1 corresponding to the nipple position, the design is limited as follows... Figure 1 The dimension a at the corresponding position of the front panel 2 is less than 3cm.
[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a first sluice gate 31 is provided at the joint of the first piece 11 and the second piece 12, a second sluice gate 32 is provided at the joint of the second piece 12 and the third piece 13, and a third sluice gate 33 is provided at the joint of the third piece 13 and the fourth piece 14.
[0044] The first dart 31 is tapered via the first seam 41, the second dart 32 via the second seam 42, and the third dart 33 via the third seam 43. Through the arrangement of these darts and the tapering of the seams, the cup body 1 achieves a three-dimensional bowl-shaped structure that corresponds to the curve of the human breast. Compared to the traditional three-piece T-shaped cup structure, the internal space of the cup body 1 has a more three-dimensional curvature, allowing it to better conform to the natural curves of the body when covering the breasts, resulting in greater comfort and a more rounded and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
[0045] In one embodiment, the lateral length L of the first dart 41, the second dart 42, and the third dart 43 is equal, and the value of the lateral length L ranges from 3cm to 6cm. In a specific example, the value of L is 4.5cm. The traditional T-shaped segmented bra cup has only one dart 30 in the vertical direction, and the length L' of the dart 30 is about 9.5cm. Compared with the traditional T-shaped segmented bra cup, the three-dimensional bra cup 1 provided in this embodiment changes the original long dart to three small darts, which can enhance the three-dimensional roundness and improve the problem of the pointed tip after the T-shaped segmented bra cup is tapered. The inner and outer contours of the three-dimensional bra cup provided in this embodiment are more rounded and full.
[0046] In one embodiment, the angles α of the first sag 41, the second sag 42, and the third sag 43 are equal, and each sag angle α is 15°. Traditional T-shaped bra cups have only one sag 30 in the longitudinal direction, and the angle β of this sag 30 is approximately 45°. The three-dimensional bra cup 1 provided in this embodiment optimizes the number and angle of the sags, resulting in a more rounded three-dimensional bra cup 1 that better wraps the breasts, avoids breast compression, and enhances wearing comfort.
[0047] In one specific embodiment, the ratio of the lengths of the first stitch 41, the second stitch 42, and the third stitch 43 is 1:1.5:1.2. The length of the first stitch 41 is also the dividing line length between the first piece 11 and the second piece 12, and its value ranges from 7 to 10.5 cm. The length of the second stitch 42 is also the dividing line length between the second piece 12 and the third piece 13, and its value ranges from 7 to 11.5 cm. The length of the third stitch 43 is also the dividing line length between the third piece 13 and the fourth piece 14, and its value ranges from 8 to 11 cm.
[0048] In one embodiment, the ratio of the areas of the first piece 11, the second piece 12, the third piece 13, and the fourth piece 14 is 0.6:1:1:1.4. This reasonable area division allows the cup body 1 to provide good coverage for the breasts, satisfying both support needs and ensuring adequate coverage.
[0049] In one embodiment, the three-dimensional bra cup further includes an appearance layer 6 covering the outer surface of the bra cup body 1. The appearance layer 6 can conceal the seams of the bra cup body 1, making the three-dimensional bra cup more aesthetically pleasing. Specifically, the appearance layer 6 also serves a decorative function, and can be made of lace, silk, or other fabrics as needed.
[0050] In one embodiment, the three-dimensional cup also includes a side gathering piece 5 disposed on the side of the cup body 1 close to the human skin. The side gathering piece 5 is made of elastic mesh fabric, formed by folding a piece of fabric in half. Its folded edge side 5A is separated from the cup body 1, and its open side 5B is sewn and fixed to the lower edge of the cup body 1, extending from the cup side to the front center. It can support the part from the bottom of the breast to the root of the breast, and gather the breast from the side to the front, making the wear more gathered. In addition, the side gathering piece 5 made of elastic mesh material can stabilize the breast, prevent it from shaking when wearing, and enhance the stability of wearing.
[0051] In this embodiment, the ratio of the area of the side gathering piece 5 to the area of the cup body 1 is 1:3. It should be noted that the area of the side gathering piece 5 is the area of the side gathering piece 5 formed by folding the elastic mesh fabric in half, and not the area of the fabric used.
[0052] Furthermore, the side panel 5 has an insertion port 51 on the side near the cup body 1. Cashew-shaped inserts can be added to the double-layered side panel 5 through the insertion port 51. The thickness of the inserts can be used to change the volume of the cup body 1 and visually change the size of the breasts after wearing.
[0053] Another embodiment of this utility model provides a bra, combined with Figure 6 As shown, the bra includes side panels 100, underband 200, back panel 300, shoulder straps 400, and the three-dimensional cups 500 provided in the above embodiment. Side panels 100 and back panel 300 may be made of a single layer of elastic mesh fabric to enhance wearing comfort and stability.
[0054] The three-dimensional cup and bra with the cup provided in this embodiment combine a front panel of double-layered non-elastic mesh fabric with a four-piece three-dimensional spliced cup body. The upper edge of the cup body is divided by an S-shaped curve, which ensures the cup's coverage while making it more rounded and three-dimensional, without compressing the chest and providing better comfort. The combination of the mesh fabric front panel and the quilted cup body makes the three-dimensional cup visually present a mini cup effect, achieving a coverage and making the wearer appear smaller. This improves the compatibility and coverage of mini cup products and solves the problem of conventional T-shaped cups that make the wearer appear larger and compress the chest. Visually, the cup is 30% smaller. Side support panels are set on the inner side of the cup body, which can stably support the bottom of the breasts and gather the breasts from the sides to the center front, making the wearer look more gathered. In summary, the three-dimensional cup and bra with the cup provided by this utility model embodiment can take into account three-dimensional shaping, high stability and rounded and compact appearance, and has the advantages of comfortable wear, smaller appearance and three-dimensional gathering.
[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. All obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
