Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of underwear technology, specifically relating to a bra with double-layer lifting shoulder straps. Background Technology

[0002] A bra is a close-fitting garment suitable for women of all breast shapes, worn daily and during exercise. This type of garment hugs the body's contours, providing excellent support. For example, Chinese Patent CN203314124U discloses a wire-free vest-style bra, which includes shoulder straps, cups, a front underband, and a back panel, offering advantages such as comfortable wear and good support and coverage.

[0003] However, while the aforementioned existing technologies are wire-free and offer good comfort, their shoulder straps are single-layered. Over time, due to the weight of the breasts, the single-layered shoulder straps tend to loosen, gradually weakening the lifting effect. This not only affects the bra's support performance but may also cause discomfort to the wearer.

[0004] Moreover, existing bras have shortcomings in their cup pad design. On the one hand, while overly soft cup pads improve comfort, they significantly reduce the support for the breasts. On the other hand, in order to enhance support, some bras use firmer cup pads, which improves support but sacrifices skin-friendliness, resulting in a poor wearing experience.

[0005] Furthermore, some bras are designed with large cavities for easy removal of the cup pads, with insertion openings in the fabric. However, due to the lack of necessary restraint and fixation around the cup pads, they are prone to shifting and slipping out within the large cavity, especially after machine washing, when they are more likely to flip over. This not only requires users to adjust and restore them, but repeated flipping over over a long period can also cause creases in the cup pads, thus affecting their support and lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes a bra with double-layer lifting shoulder straps to overcome the aforementioned technical problems in existing related technologies. By setting the double-layer lifting shoulder straps, this utility model allows users to utilize the synergistic effect of the inner and outer shoulder straps to provide upward lifting force to the breasts during the wearing process, maintaining the support effect of the cups on the breasts and effectively reducing or preventing breast sagging.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a bra with double-layer lifting shoulder straps includes a bra body, the bra body includes a front panel and a back panel, the front panel includes two left and right symmetrical cups, and the front panel is connected to the back panel through a pair of double-layer lifting shoulder straps;

[0008] The double-layer lifting shoulder strap includes an inner shoulder strap and an outer shoulder strap arranged side by side; the upper part of the front panel extends and narrows away from the cup to form the outer shoulder strap; the outer shoulder strap has high elasticity and can automatically stretch and extend according to the gravity acting on the breasts when worn; the end of the outer shoulder strap is connected to the inner shoulder strap;

[0009] The inner shoulder strap has less elasticity and is longer than the outer shoulder strap. It is located inside the outer shoulder strap and is partially covered by the outer shoulder strap and not exposed. During wear, the highly elastic and soft outer shoulder strap is stretched and elongated until it is the same length as the less elastic inner shoulder strap. At this point, the less elastic inner shoulder strap tends to prevent the outer shoulder strap from being stretched further.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the outer shoulder strap extends around the human shoulder and connects with the inner shoulder strap at the back of the human body.

[0011] Furthermore, the side edge of the front panel is connected to the side edge of the rear panel to form a side panel; the front panel includes two overlapping layers of fabric pieces, with a cup cavity formed between the two layers of fabric pieces; the cup includes an inner cup pad, which is placed inside the cup cavity, and the cup cavity defines the position of the inner cup pad; the two layers of fabric pieces are bonded together as a single structure along the edge of the cup cavity using an adhesive application process.

[0012] Furthermore, the side of the inner cup pad closest to the breast is fitted and connected to the inner layer of the cut piece;

[0013] Furthermore, the inner layer of the fabric piece is fitted and connected to a portion of the edge of the inner cup pad that is close to the breast.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner layer of the fabric is fitted and connected to the lower edge of the inner cup pad on the side closest to the breast.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner layer of the fabric piece has perforations on its surface; one end of the inner shoulder strap is connected to the back panel, and the other end extends forward through the perforations and connects to the inner cup pad.

[0016] Furthermore, the inner cup pad is made of PU42 sponge; the density of the PU42 sponge is 42 kg / m³. 3 .

[0017] Furthermore, the inner cup pad has a protruding breast support on the side near the breast to support the lower side of the breast; the breast support is multi-layered wavy; or the breast support is multi-layered staggered cloud-like.

[0018] Furthermore, the front panel is provided with a soft support band below the bra cup, and the soft support band is built between the inner and outer layers of the fabric pieces.

[0019] Furthermore, the soft support band extends from the side panel along the lower edge of both cups to the other side panel.

[0020] Furthermore, the front panel also includes a W-shaped lifting strap for supporting the breasts, the W-shaped lifting strap being disposed between the cup and the soft support strap;

[0021] The W-shaped lifting strap extends from the outside of one side of the cup along the lower edge of both cups to the outside of the other side of the cup.

[0022] Furthermore, the two ends of the soft support band extend toward the outer shoulder strap, forming a U-shaped structure;

[0023] The front panel also includes a front collar, and the inner layer of the fabric piece has an auxiliary patch at the position of the front collar;

[0024] The collar in question is a Hepburn collar;

[0025] The Hepburn neckline refers to a U-neck that opens downwards into a V-neck to showcase the wearer's long neck.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] In this utility model, the outer shoulder strap has high elasticity and can automatically stretch and extend according to the weight of the breasts when worn, adapting to changes in body activity and breast condition. Moreover, when the outer shoulder strap is stretched to the same length as the inner shoulder strap, the inner shoulder strap, with its longer length and lower elasticity, pulls and supports the cup, working in conjunction with the outer shoulder strap.

[0028] By incorporating the double-layered lifting shoulder straps, the utility model allows users to utilize the synergistic effect of the inner and outer shoulder straps to provide upward lifting force to the breasts during the wearing of the bra, maintaining the support effect of the cups on the breasts and effectively reducing or preventing breast sagging.

[0039] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0040] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a bra with double-layer lifting shoulder straps, including a bra body, the bra body including a front panel 1 and a back panel 2, the front panel 1 including two left and right symmetrical cups 3, the front panel 1 being connected to the back panel 2 by a pair of double-layer lifting shoulder straps;

[0043] The double-layer lifting shoulder straps include an inner shoulder strap 4 and an outer shoulder strap 5 arranged side by side; the upper part of the front panel 1 extends and narrows away from the cup 3 to form the outer shoulder strap 5; the outer shoulder strap 5 has high elasticity and can automatically stretch and extend according to the gravity acting on the breasts when worn; the end of the outer shoulder strap 5 is connected to the inner shoulder strap 4.

[0044] The inner shoulder strap 4 has less elasticity and is longer than the outer shoulder strap 5. It is located inside the outer shoulder strap 5 and is partially covered by the outer shoulder strap 5 and is not exposed. During wear, the highly elastic and soft outer shoulder strap 5 is stretched and elongated until it is the same length as the less elastic inner shoulder strap 4. The less elastic inner shoulder strap 4 tends to prevent the outer shoulder strap 5 from being stretched further.

[0045] The double-layer lifting shoulder straps work together. When the bra is worn, the breasts are stretched by gravity, causing the outer shoulder strap 5 to stretch until its length matches that of the inner shoulder strap 4. At this point, the inner shoulder strap 4, taking advantage of its length and lower elasticity, provides an upward lifting force through its connection to the cup 3, thereby maintaining the support effect of the cup 3 on the breasts and reducing or preventing breast sagging.

[0046] In this embodiment, the outer shoulder strap 5 has high elasticity and can automatically stretch and extend according to the weight of the breasts during wear, adapting to changes in body movement and breast condition. Furthermore, when the outer shoulder strap 5 is stretched to the same length as the inner shoulder strap 4, the inner shoulder strap 4, with its longer length and lower elasticity, pulls and supports the cup 3, working in conjunction with the outer shoulder strap 5. This embodiment, by setting up the double-layered lifting shoulder straps, allows the user to utilize the synergistic effect of the inner and outer shoulder straps during bra wearing to provide an upward lifting force to the breasts, maintaining the support effect of the cup 3 on the breasts, and effectively reducing or preventing breast sagging.

[0047] Specifically, the end of the outer shoulder strap 5 extends around the human shoulder and connects with the inner shoulder strap 4 on the back of the human body. This design can distribute the pressure of the shoulder strap on the shoulder and avoid the pressure being concentrated in a local area of ​​the shoulder, thereby effectively reducing the discomfort and burden caused by the shoulder strap compression.

[0048] Specifically, the side edge of the front panel 1 is connected to the side edge of the rear panel 2 to form a side panel 6; the front panel 1 includes two overlapping layers of fabric pieces, with a cup cavity formed between the two layers of fabric pieces; the cup 3 includes an inner cup pad 7, which is placed inside the cup cavity, and the cup cavity defines the position of the inner cup pad 7; the two layers of fabric pieces are bonded together as a single structure along the edge of the cup cavity using an adhesive application process;

[0049] First, the front panel 1 described in this embodiment uses two overlapping pieces, inner and outer, which are bonded together as a whole along the edge of the cup cavity using a dotting adhesive process. This avoids the marks caused by traditional sewing stitches, making the bra look smoother and flatter, reducing the abruptness of the garment surface caused by stitches when wearing it, and improving the aesthetics and seamless effect of wearing it.

[0050] Secondly, the edges of the fabric pieces bonded by the adhesive bonding process are soft and smooth, unlike traditional stitching which can cause friction and irritation to the skin. This effectively reduces skin discomfort caused by rough edges of clothing, providing wearers with a more comfortable and skin-friendly fit, making it especially suitable for long-term wear.

[0051] Moreover, the design of the cup cavity limits the position of the inner cup pad 7, and combined with the adhesive bonding process, the inner cup pad 7 remains stable within the cup cavity and is not easy to shift. This not only ensures the bra's support and shaping effect on the breasts, but also avoids wrinkles and discomfort caused by cup pad shifting, further improving the comfort of wearing it.

[0052] Specifically, the side of the inner cup pad 7 closest to the breast is fitted and connected to the inner layer of the cut piece;

[0053] Specifically, the inner layer of the fabric piece is fitted and connected to a portion of the edge of the inner cup pad 7 near the breast;

[0054] More specifically, the inner layer of the fabric piece is fitted and connected to the lower edge of the inner cup pad 7 on the side closest to the breast, further defining the position of the inner cup pad 7 and keeping the inner cup pad 7 stable within the cup cavity.

[0055] Specifically, the inner layer of the fabric piece has holes on its surface; one end of the inner shoulder strap 4 is connected to the back panel 2, and the other end extends forward to pass through the holes and connect to the inner cup pad 7;

[0056] It should be noted that: the inner shoulder strap 4 is fixed above the inner cup pad 7, and the inner cup pad 7 is positioned by the cup cavity. In addition, the lower edge of the inner cup pad 7 is attached to the inner layer of the fabric piece. Through the above triple constraints, the inner cup pad 7 is effectively prevented from shifting, slipping, or flipping during use and washing machine cleaning, which effectively ensures the support effect of the inner cup pad 7 and helps to extend the service life of the inner cup pad 7.

[0057] Specifically, the inner cup pad 7 is made of PU42 sponge; the density of the PU42 sponge is 42 kg / m³. 3 This type of sponge is finer, softer to the touch, and has better resilience.

[0058] Specifically, the front panel 1 is provided with a soft support band 9 below the bra cup 3, and the soft support band 9 is built between the inner and outer layers of the fabric pieces;

[0059] Specifically, the soft support band 9 extends from the side panel 6 along the lower edge 31 of the two cups 3 to the other side panel 6;

[0060] The design of this soft support band 9 provides extra support to the chest, effectively supporting the weight of the breasts. Furthermore, the soft support band 9 increases the structural stability of the front panel 1, making the bra less prone to deformation or shifting during wear. The soft support band 9 also works in conjunction with the cups 3 and side panels 6 to ensure the bra always conforms to the body's curves, providing continuous and stable support for the breasts, maintaining a good fit even during physical activity. In addition, because the soft support band 9 is integrated between the panels, it does not leave noticeable marks, helping to maintain a seamless and aesthetically pleasing overall appearance of the bra.

[0061] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the front panel 1 also includes a W-shaped lifting strap 10 for supporting the breasts, the W-shaped lifting strap 10 being disposed between the cup 3 and the soft support strap 9;

[0062] The W-shaped lifting strap 10 extends from the outside of one side of the cup 3 along the lower edge 31 of the two cups 3 to the outside of the other side of the cup 3.

[0063] In this embodiment, the W-shaped lifting band 10 can more effectively support the breasts and work in conjunction with the soft support band 9 to provide an upward and even lifting force to the breasts, enhancing the support effect on the breasts, and especially helping to improve the firmness of the breasts and reduce sagging.

[0064] Moreover, the W-shaped design can better fit the natural curve of the lower part of the breast, making the W-shaped lifting strap 10 more closely and snugly in contact with the breast, thereby playing a lifting and supporting role, improving the comfort and fit of wearing, and allowing the breast to receive more stable and comfortable support inside the bra.

[0065] In addition, the W-shaped lifting strap 10 works in conjunction with the cup 3 and the soft support strap 9 to form a stable support structure system, which helps to enhance the overall stability of the front panel 1 of the bra, prevent the bra from shifting or deforming during wear, and ensure that the bra always maintains good support and shaping effect, providing continuous and reliable support for the breasts.

[0066] Example 2

[0067] like Figure 6-7 As shown, this embodiment also provides a bra with double-layered lifting shoulder straps. Features not explained in this embodiment can be explained using the methods in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is:

[0068] The inner cup pad 7 has a raised breast support 8 on the side near the breast to support the lower side of the breast; the breast support 8 is multi-layered wavy; or the breast support 8 is multi-layered staggered cloud-shaped.

[0069] In this embodiment, the breast support 8 is disposed on the side of the inner cup pad 7 close to the breast. Its unique multi-layered wavy or multi-layered staggered cloud-like shape can increase the contact area and fit with the lower side of the breast, thereby more effectively supporting the lower side of the breast, providing upward and even support for the breast, helping to improve the firmness of the breast and reduce breast sagging.

[0070] The front panel 1 also includes a front collar 11, and the inner layer of the fabric piece is provided with an auxiliary patch 111 at the position of the front collar 11 to prevent the front collar 11 from folding over to the outer layer of the fabric piece;

[0071] Specifically, the front neckline 11 is a Hepburn neckline; the Hepburn neckline refers to a V-neck that is opened downwards in the middle of a U-neck to show off the wearer's slender neck.

[0072] Example 3

[0073] like Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment also provides a bra with double-layered lifting shoulder straps. Features not explained in this embodiment can be explained using the methods in Embodiments 1 and 2, and will not be repeated here. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiments 1 and 2 is:

[0074] The two ends of the soft support band 9 extend toward the outer shoulder strap 5 to form a U-shaped structure, which can better wrap and gather lateral fat and accessory breasts, especially suitable for women with large breasts.

[0075] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
