Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of women's underwear technology. More specifically, it relates to a large-cup bra and a bra. Background Technology

[0002] In the women's lingerie industry, large-cup bras are crucial for women with fuller figures. Due to certain wearing needs, large-cup bras require the shoulder straps to be removed. However, existing detachable-strap large-cup bras suffer from poor stability when the straps are removed, causing the breasts to sag. Because fuller-figured women have heavier breasts, the lack of support from the shoulder straps results in a noticeable sagging sensation. Over time, this can loosen the suspensory ligaments of the breasts, leading to sagging and affecting both a woman's appearance and health.

[0003] In addition, when wearing shoulder straps, the shoulders have to bear a lot of pressure for a long time, which can hinder blood circulation in the shoulders and cause discomfort such as shoulder pain. Moreover, long-term wear can also cause indentations on the shoulders that are difficult to recover, and even increase the risk of hunchback, which has an adverse effect on women's posture and health. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, one object of this utility model is to provide a large cup bra that provides a comfortable wearing experience.

[0005] Another objective of this invention is to provide a bra with the aforementioned large cup size.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, a large-cup bra cup is provided, comprising:

[0008] Two molded cups on the left and right sides, and a three-dimensional steel ring;

[0009] The molded cup is integrally molded, including a main body and a raised part located on the main body. The vertical width of the raised part near the bowl side is smaller than the vertical width of the raised part near the front middle side.

[0010] The raised portions of the left and right mold cups are joined and fixed on the side closest to each other to connect the left and right mold cups. The raised portions of the left and right mold cups are joined and fixed to form the upper heart. The end of the upper heart away from the main body is the front center apex.

[0011] The three-dimensional steel ring includes a first part that surrounds the bowl side of the molded cup to the front center, and a second part that extends from one end of the first part near the front center to the apex of the front center, the second part being gradually inclined toward the side closer to human skin.

[0012] Alternatively, the width of the raised portion of the molded cup near the bowl side in the vertical direction is 2-8cm, and the width of the raised portion of the molded cup near the front center side in the vertical direction is 3-10cm.

[0013] Alternatively, the distance between the junction of the first and second parts of the three-dimensional steel ring and the front center vertex is 7-8 cm.

[0014] Alternatively, the angle α between the vertical extension of the first part near the end of the second part and the second part is 20°-40°.

[0015] Alternatively, the distance between the position of the vertical extension line of the first part near the second part corresponding to the front middle vertex and the end of the second part away from the first part is 2-5cm.

[0016] Alternatively, the bowl-side edge of the molded cup may include a raised structure that protrudes towards the human skin.

[0017] The projection of the protrusion on the mold cup is circular or elliptical. The distance between the center of the protrusion and the side edge of the mold cup is 5-15cm, and the distance between the center of the protrusion and the front edge of the mold cup is 2-5cm.

[0018] The thickness at the center of the protrusion is 5-15 mm.

[0019] Alternatively, the molded cup may include a surface layer, an inner layer, and a cotton layer located between the surface layer and the inner layer.

[0020] The large cup also includes a pad located between the cotton layer and the inner layer. The pad is tongue-shaped and its thickness gradually decreases from the center to the edge.

[0021] Alternatively, the large cup bra may also include a baffle, which includes a baffle portion, a connecting portion, and side panels located on both sides of the baffle portion.

[0022] The connecting part is located between the left and right mold cups, and the body part connecting the left and right mold cups is close to each other on one side, forming the lower heart.

[0023] According to another aspect of the present invention, a bra is provided, including a back panel and a large cup;

[0024] The back panel is fixed to the two opposite sides of the large cup, and the height of the connection between the back panel and the large cup is 8-15cm.

[0025] The lower edge of the rear section is inclined upward, and the angle β between it and the horizontal plane is 10°-20°.

[0026] Alternatively, the connection between the back bra and the large cup can be provided with a first boning and a second boning, with the first and second boning arranged in parallel.

[0027] The rear section has a third adhesive bone at its midpoint in the horizontal direction, and the third adhesive bone extends in the vertical direction.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0029] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a large cup bra and a bra that, through the combination of a height-increasing molded cup and a three-dimensional underwire, achieves all-round wrapping and support for the breasts when worn without shoulder straps, reduces breast sagging, avoids damage to the suspensory ligaments caused by breast sagging, and at the same time relieves the shoulders, improves shoulder blood circulation, prevents hunchback, and helps women maintain a good posture.

[0030] The 3D underwire is designed according to the curve of a woman's breast and works in conjunction with the molded cups to ensure that the product fits the body in all directions when worn. This enhances front and center support, distributes the weight of the chest, and greatly improves the stability of the product when worn, preventing displacement during wear and ensuring a comfortable wearing experience.

[0031] By adding thickness to the concave part of the chest through the raised structure, the product can make the entire chest appear fuller and rounder after wearing it, improving the aesthetics of the garment. At the same time, it can also enhance the fit between the molded cup and the chest, improving the comfort and safety of wearing the garment.

[0032] The back design features an isosceles triangle support structure, which shifts the center of gravity of lateral force upwards, forming a stable triangular force-bearing structure with the large cups. This significantly improves the stability of the bra when strapless, ensuring that the bra can effectively support the breasts. At the same time, the three boning strips enhance the bra's lateral force-bearing capacity, making the force distribution more balanced, thereby improving the overall stability and wearing comfort of the bra.

[0042] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0043] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] 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.

[0045] 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.

[0046] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a large-cup bra cup, combined with... Figure 1-5 As shown, the large cup bra includes two molded cups 1 on the left and right, a three-dimensional steel ring 2, and a back band 3.

[0047] The mold cup 1 is integrally molded and includes a body part 11 and a raised part 12 located on the body part 11. The width a of the raised part 12 in the vertical direction near the bowl side is smaller than the width b of the raised part 12 in the vertical direction near the front middle side.

[0048] The raised portions 12 of the two mold cups 1 are joined and fixed on the side close to each other to connect the two mold cups. The raised portions of the two mold cups are joined and fixed to form the upper heart 42. The end of the upper heart 42 away from the main body 11 is the front middle vertex 43.

[0049] The three-dimensional steel ring 2 includes a first part 21 that surrounds the bowl side of the mold cup 1 to the front center, and a second part 22 that extends from the end of the first part 21 near the front center to the front center apex 43. The second part 22 is gradually tilted towards the side closer to the human skin.

[0050] Existing bra cups have limited height. For women with full breasts, the front edge typically only covers the upper half of the breast, failing to fully enclose the entire breast, resulting in poor wearing safety. In daily life, the natural movement of the breasts during body activity reduces the fit between the cup and the breast. Without the restraint of shoulder straps, the bra is prone to shifting during wear, leading to a poor wearing experience. In this embodiment, based on the conventional cup structure, the molded cup 1 is designed to be higher (i.e., the raised part 12) to increase the area of ​​the cup covering the breast, improving both wearing safety and comfort.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, the vertical width 'a' of the raised portion 12 near the bowl side of the molded cup 1 is 2-8 cm, and the vertical width 'b' of the raised portion 12 near the front center is 3-10 cm. That is, the molded cup 1 provided in this embodiment, based on existing bra cup technology, increases the front center by 3-10 cm and the bowl side by 2-8 cm. The area of ​​the raised portion 12 is one-quarter of the area of ​​the molded cup 1, which increases the coverage area for the breasts, improving safety and comfort. Combined with the three-dimensional underwire 2, it effectively enhances support, providing stable support for the breasts even when the shoulder straps are removed, reducing breast sagging and preventing damage to the suspensory ligaments caused by breast sagging. Simultaneously, it relieves shoulder discomfort, improves shoulder blood circulation, prevents hunchback, and helps women maintain good posture.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, the three-dimensional underwire 2 conforms to the shape of the molded cup 1, with an increased height of 3-10cm at the front center and 2-8cm at the cup side; the specific values ​​should be consistent with those of the molded cup 1. The distance between the junction of the first part 21 and the second part 22 of the three-dimensional underwire 2 and the front center vertex 43 is 7-8cm. That is, at a distance of 7-8cm from the front center vertex 43, the three-dimensional underwire 2 begins to tilt inward towards the side closer to the human skin, forming the second part 22. The specific shape of the three-dimensional underwire 2 matches the molded cup 1. The specific shape of the second part 22 needs to be designed according to the curve of the chest, so that the molded cup 1 presents a three-dimensional curved surface effect consistent with the breast. When worn, it can fit the human body in all directions, enhance the front center support, distribute the weight of the chest, greatly enhance the stability of the product when worn, and avoid displacement during wear, thus affecting the wearing experience.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the upward angle of the second part 22 is 20°-40°, that is, the vertical extension line of the first part 21 near the end of the second part 22 ( Figure 5 The angle α between the second part 22 (the red dashed line in the middle) and the second part 22 is 20°-40°. It should be noted that the specific value of the upward angle of the second part 22 should be designed according to different body shapes and girths; the higher the center of gravity, the larger the upward angle.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the upturn value of the second part 22 is 2-5cm, that is, the distance c between position A of the vertical extension line of the end of the first part 21 closest to the second part 22 corresponding to the front center vertex 43 and the end of the second part 22 furthest from the first part 21 is 2-5cm. It should be noted that the specific value of the upturn value of the second part 22 should be designed according to different body shapes and girths as well as the size of the mold cup 1.

[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the cup 1 has a raised structure 5 on its bowl-side edge that protrudes towards the skin. The projection of the raised structure 5 onto the cup 1 is circular or elliptical. Since most women's breasts tend to be partially concave at the top, the raised structure 5 adds thickness to the concave area to fill it. This results in a fuller, rounder appearance after wearing the product, improving the aesthetics of the garment. It also enhances the fit between the cup 1 and the breast, improving comfort and safety.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, the distance d between the center of the protruding structure 5 and the side edge of the mold cup 1 is 5-15cm, the distance e between the center of the protruding structure 5 and the front edge of the mold cup 1 is 2-5cm, the thickness f of the thickest part of the protruding structure 5 is 5-15mm, and the thickness of the thickest part of the protruding structure 5 is 5-10mm thicker than the thickness of the thinnest part of the mold cup 1. The specific location and thickness distribution of the protruding structure 5 need to be designed according to the data model of women with different body types. Generally, the thickest part of the protruding structure 5 is the center of the protruding structure 5.

[0057] Women with large breasts often prioritize breathability when choosing bras, but thin-cup bras are prone to nipple protrusion, affecting aesthetics and reducing confidence. This embodiment of the utility model provides a thin-cup molded cup 1, comprising an outer layer, an inner layer, and a cotton layer between the outer and inner layers. To address the nipple protrusion issue, this large-cup bra also includes a pad (not shown) located between the cotton and inner layers. The pad is tongue-shaped, with its thickness gradually decreasing from the center to the edge. This pad design retains the advantages of thin-cup molded cups—breathability, coolness, and a slimming effect—while effectively solving the problem of nipple protrusion. Furthermore, the reasonable thickness transition of the pad creates a natural, seamless look inside and outside the molded cup 1, without obvious steps, thus improving the aesthetics of the cup and enhancing the wearer's confidence.

[0058] In this embodiment, the cotton layer can be made of perforated cotton, ordinary non-perforated cotton, or a sandwich material molded cup. Perforated cotton provides better breathability; ordinary non-perforated cotton has a certain thickness and support; and the molded cup made of sandwich material has a unique structure and texture. This diverse selection meets the needs and preferences of different consumers regarding bra cups.

[0059] In one specific embodiment, the large-cup bra also includes a bandeau 3, where the two molded cups 1 are connected at their sides near each other to form a lower center gore 41. The bandeau 3 includes a bandeau portion 31, a connecting portion 32, and side panels 33 located on both sides of the bandeau portion 31. The bandeau 3 has a three-layer structure. The middle layer is made of a relatively thick mesh fabric, which is crisp and has a certain degree of elasticity, providing support. The appropriate elasticity also helps to better stabilize the bra at the underbust level, improving stability and comfort. The inner layer of the bandeau 3 uses the same moisture-wicking, quick-drying butterfly mesh fabric as the inner layer of the molded cups 1, which not only complements the molded cups 1 and enhances breathability but also improves the skin-friendliness and softness of the inner layer. The outer layer of the bandeau 3 uses the same fabric as the outer layer of the molded cups 1, and can be paired with fabrics with different appearance effects such as smooth or lace. Smooth fabrics are simple and elegant, while lace fabrics are more fashionable and feminine, increasing the bra's practicality and style.

[0060] The connecting part 32 of the lower part 3 is located between the left and right mold cups 1, and the body part 11 connecting the left and right mold cups 1 is close to each other on one side, forming the lower part 41. Figure 1-2 As shown, when worn, the two breast base plates corresponding to the heightening part 12 are close together, and no extra allowance is needed in the middle. The heightening parts 12 of the two molded cups 1 are directly sewn together on the side closest to each other. There is space between the two breasts corresponding to the main body part 11 at the lower center 41, and the splicing connection part 32 is needed to make the lower center 41 fit the body better.

[0061] Another embodiment of this utility model provides a bra, such as Figure 6-8 As shown, the bra includes a back panel 6, shoulder straps (not shown), and the large cup provided in the above embodiment. The shoulder straps 7 are detachable to accommodate different wearing scenarios.

[0062] The back panel 6 is attached to the two opposite sides of the large cup and is sewn or heat-pressed to the side panel 33. The height g at the connection between the back panel 6 and the large cup is the side panel height of the bra, and the value of g ranges from 8 to 15 cm.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the lower edge of the back bra 6 is angled upwards, with an angle β of 10°-20° to the horizontal plane. An isosceles triangle support structure is formed at the back bra 6, with a waist length h of 15-25cm. The connecting edge between the back bra 6 and the large cup is the base of the isosceles triangle. When the bra straps are removed and there is no vertical lift, this structure shifts the lateral center of gravity upwards, forming a stable triangular support structure with the large cup. This significantly improves the bra's stability without shoulder straps, ensuring effective breast support.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, both the upper and lower binding positions of the back bra 6 are equipped with anti-slip webbing 7. The anti-slip webbing 7 is located on the skin-contact side and is made of spandex, which has its own anti-slip properties. This design can enhance the resistance between the bra and the body, making the bra more stable during wear and less prone to shifting, further improving wearing stability. At the same time, it can also prevent the bra from slipping down when worn without straps.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 7As shown, a first bob 81 and a second bob 82 are provided at the connection between the back bra 6 and the large cup. The first bob 81 and the second bob 82 are arranged parallel to each other and are both shaped according to the side where the back bra 6 and the large cup are connected. A third bob 83 is provided at the midpoint of the back bra 6 in the horizontal direction and extends vertically. The double rows of bobs at the connection between the back bra 6 and the large cup, the third bob 83 in the middle of the back bra 6, and the two vertical supports provided by the three-dimensional underwire at the center gore of the cup form a 2+2+1 reinforced support structure. This structure enhances the bra's lateral force-bearing capacity, makes the force distribution more balanced, and thus improves the overall stability and wearing comfort of the bra.

[0066] In this embodiment, a widened hook-and-loop design is adopted, which has stronger stability and inclusiveness compared to traditional hook-and-loop designs. It can better fix the bra, adapt to the needs of women with different body shapes, and improve the comfort and sense of security of wearing it.

[0067] 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.
