Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of women's underwear technology, and more specifically, to a plus-size support bra. Background Technology

[0002] A bra's primary function is to cover and support the breasts, achieving a more defined and lifted appearance. Since women's breasts are mostly composed of fatty tissue, supported internally by ligaments and skin, their own support is generally insufficient to support or prevent movement. Therefore, a suitable bra provides external support, enhancing comfort and mobility, and effectively alleviating pain and discomfort caused by breast sagging and displacement. This plays a crucial role in improving women's quality of life.

[0003] Most plus-size bras have underwires for support under the cups. Because the underwires are hard, they can easily leave marks and cause discomfort. Plus, women with large breasts experience significant breast movement during exercise or walking quickly, which can increase their burden and cause unnecessary embarrassment. In addition, women with large breasts usually wear thin cups, which do not provide enough support and are prone to sagging or outward expansion.

[0004] Publication No. 205250371U discloses a bra cup with a support function, which includes a multi-layer composite cup body. The characteristic feature is that a sheet-like support is provided in the multi-layer composite cup body to support the lower part of the cup body in the form of a support boss structure; the sheet-like support has an arc-shaped bending structure; the multi-layer composite cup body is a double-layer composite structure, including an outer layer of cotton and an inner layer of cotton, and a sheet-like support is provided between the outer layer of cotton and the inner layer of cotton to support the lower part of the cup body in the form of a support boss structure. The bras in the prior art have the following problems: (1) For women with large breasts, the sheet-like support is not enough to provide sufficient support for the breasts in the middle of the cup and the cup bend; (2) Using sheet-like support will reduce the breathability of the bottom of the bra, making the wearer uncomfortable; (3) The lateral push of the bra is not enough, and women with large breasts are prone to breast expansion when wearing it, making the wearer very uncomfortable. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a plus-size support bra to solve the problems in the prior art where sheet-like supports are insufficient to provide adequate support for the breasts in the middle of the cup and at the cup bend; the use of sheet-like supports leads to reduced breathability at the bottom of the bra, making the wearer uncomfortable; and the bra's side thrust is insufficient, which easily causes the breasts to spread outwards when worn by plus-size women, making the wearer very uncomfortable.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] A plus-size support bra includes cups connected to both sides via a center gore. The center gore has an underband, the upper side of each cup has a cup-shaped bend, and the lower side of each cup has a back panel and side panels. One end of the back panel is fixedly connected to a shoulder strap, and the other end of the shoulder strap is fixedly connected to the cup-shaped bend. The cup includes a reinforcing layer comprising a first elastic strip, a second elastic strip, and a third elastic strip connected in sequence. The connection point of the first and second elastic strips is near the shoulder strap. The first elastic strip extends along the cup-shaped bend, the second elastic strip extends along the front panel of the cup, and the third elastic strip extends along the underwire of the cup.

[0008] By setting up a first elastic strip, a second elastic strip, and a third elastic strip, the problem of reduced breathability at the bottom of the bra, which would otherwise cause discomfort to the wearer, is avoided by using sheet-like support. Furthermore, the combination of the first and second elastic strips can lift the third elastic strip to prevent the breasts from sagging, while the first elastic strip provides side support to prevent the breasts from spreading outward.

[0009] Furthermore, the first elastic strip, the second elastic strip, and the third elastic strip are integrally formed and connected.

[0010] This design makes the reinforcement layer structure more robust.

[0011] Furthermore, the width of the first elastic strip, the second elastic strip, and the third elastic strip is 6mm to 10mm, and the thickness is 6mm to 7mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the width of the third elastic strip is greater than the width of the first elastic strip, which is greater than the width of the second elastic strip.

[0013] This design not only enhances the upward and lateral support of the chest, preventing sagging and outward expansion, but also improves wearing comfort.

[0014] Furthermore, the reinforcing layer also includes a mesh structure connected to a third elastic strip, the mesh structure being formed by multiple intersecting support strips.

[0015] This design improves breast support, and the mesh structure avoids the problem of reduced breathability at the bottom of the bra, which can cause discomfort for the wearer, as can be caused by sheet-like support.

[0016] Furthermore, the overall shape of the mesh structure and the third elastic strip is an arc-shaped structure.

[0017] The curved structure in this setting provides better support for the chest, enhancing the user experience.

[0018] Furthermore, the first elastic strip, the second elastic strip, the third elastic strip, and the mesh structure support strip are made of one of TPE, TPU, or silicone rubber.

[0019] Furthermore, a first boning material is provided at the connection between the side panel and the back panel, and a first side push part is provided on the side panel. One end of the first side push part is connected to the bra cup, and the other end of the first side push part is connected to the first boning material and the underband.

[0020] Furthermore, a second side pusher is provided between the bra cup and the underband, one end of the second side pusher is connected to the bra cup, and the other end of the second side pusher is connected to the underband.

[0021] Furthermore, the first side thrust portion has an H-shaped structure.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, the plus-size support bra described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0023] 1) This utility model is provided with a first elastic strip, a second elastic strip and a third elastic strip, which avoids the problem that the use of sheet-like support will reduce the breathability of the bottom of the bra and make the wearer uncomfortable. In addition, the cooperation of the first elastic strip and the second elastic strip can lift the third elastic strip to prevent the breast from sagging. The first elastic strip provides the function of side support and can prevent the breast from spreading outward.

[0024] 2) The mesh structure of this utility model can improve the support effect of the chest, and the mesh structure avoids the problem that the use of sheet support will reduce the breathability of the bottom of the bra, making the wearer uncomfortable. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, a brief explanation of the orientations involved in the following specific embodiments is provided: the directions or positional relationships indicated by "up," "down," "left," "right," etc., mentioned in the embodiments refer to the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, "inner" refers to the area closer to the center of the bra cup, and "outer" refers to the area farther from the center of the bra cup.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model relates to a plus-size support bra, including cups 1 connected to both sides by a center gore 5. A pull tab 6 is provided on the lower side of the center gore 5. A cup clamping bend is provided on the upper side of the cup 1. A back panel 4 and a side panel 3 are provided on the lower side of the cup 1. A back hook 7 is provided on one side of the back panel 4. A shoulder strap 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the upper side of the back panel 4. The other end of the shoulder strap 2 is fixedly connected to the cup clamping bend.

[0032] More specifically, a first boning material 8 is provided at the connection between the side panel 3 and the back panel 4. The side panel 3 is provided with a first side push part 31, one end of which is connected to the side of the cup 1, and the other end of which is connected to the first boning material 8 and the underband 6. A second side push part 62 is provided between the center gore 5 and the underband 6, one end of which is connected to the cup 1, and the other end of which is connected to the underband 6. This arrangement of the first and second side push parts can better support the sides of the cup, preventing sagging and outward expansion of the breasts.

[0033] More specifically, the first side push part 31 is H-shaped, and the second side push part 61 is H-shaped. This design makes the first and second side push parts more secure, improves the side push effect for plus-size women's breasts, prevents breasts from sagging and spreading outward, and enhances the aesthetics of the wearer.

[0034] More specifically, the first side push part 31 includes a first side push strip 311, a second side push strip 312, and a third side push strip 313. The first side push strip 311 and the third side push strip 313 are connected through the second side push strip 312. One end of the first side push strip 311 is connected to the outside of the cup, and the other end of the first side push strip 311 is connected to the first boning 8. One end of the third side push strip 313 is connected to the outside of the cup 1, and the other end of the third side push strip 313 is connected to the underband 6. This setting can improve the side push capability of women's breasts and prevent breasts from spreading outward. At the same time, the use of the first side push strip, the second side push strip, and the third side push strip avoids the poor breathability at the side panel caused by the use of a full-coverage side push structure, which would reduce the user experience.

[0035] More specifically, the first side push bar, the second side push bar, and the third side push bar all use glue.

[0036] More specifically, the second side push-up part 61 includes a fourth side push-up strip 611, a fifth side push-up strip 612, and a sixth side push-up strip 613. The fourth and sixth side push-up strips are connected through the fifth side push-up strip. One end of the fourth side push-up strip is connected to the inside of the cup, and the other end is connected to the underband. One end of the sixth side push-up strip is connected to the inside of the cup body, and the other end is connected to the underband. The fourth and sixth side push-up strips are respectively connected to the inside of two symmetrical cups. This design, through the cooperation of the first and second side push-up parts, improves the support effect on the breasts.

[0037] More specifically, the fourth, fifth, and sixth side push strips all use glue as a base.

[0038] Specifically, the cup 1 includes an inner cup layer 11, a reinforcing layer 12, and an outer cup layer 13 in sequence. The inner cup layer can be made using a conventional multi-layer structure, such as a cotton layer, an antibacterial layer, and a breathable layer, as disclosed in the bra with publication number CN 211532815 U. The outer cup layer is made using existing decorative mesh weaving, which improves the overall aesthetics of the bra.

[0039] Specifically, the reinforcing layer 12 includes a first elastic strip 121, a second elastic strip 122, and a third elastic strip 123 connected in sequence. The connection point of the first elastic strip 121 and the second elastic strip 122 is close to the shoulder strap 2. The first elastic strip 121 extends along the cup's curved section, the second elastic strip extends along the front of the cup, and the third elastic strip extends along the underwire of the cup. All three elastic strips are made of elastic adhesive. The use of the first, second, and third elastic strips avoids the problem of reduced breathability at the bottom of the bra, which would otherwise cause discomfort for the wearer, due to the use of sheet-like supports. Furthermore, the cooperation of the first and second elastic strips lifts the third elastic strip, preventing breast sagging. The first elastic strip provides lateral support, and the third elastic strip provides upward support for the breasts. In short, the elastic adhesive strips used in the reinforcing layer provide better and stronger support for larger breasts, preventing sagging.

[0040] More specifically, the first elastic strip, the second elastic strip, and the third elastic strip are integrally formed and connected.

[0041] More specifically, the width of the first elastic strip, the second elastic strip, and the third elastic strip is 6mm to 10mm, and the thickness is 6mm to 7mm.

[0042] Preferably, the width of the third elastic strip is greater than the width of the first elastic strip, which in turn is greater than the width of the second elastic strip. For women with large breasts, whose breasts are prone to sagging, this design provides excellent support for the inner, outer, and lower parts of the breasts, improving the wearer's comfort. More preferably, the width of the first elastic strip is 7mm, the width of the second elastic strip is 6mm, and the width of the third elastic strip is 8mm, with the thickness of each of the first, second, and third elastic strips being 6mm.

[0043] More specifically, the reinforcing layer 12 also includes a mesh structure 124, which is connected to the third elastic strip 123. The mesh structure is formed by multiple support strips 1241 intersecting each other. The overall shape of the mesh structure and the third elastic strip is an arc-shaped structure, which can better support the chest. At the same time, the mesh structure also has good breathability, improving the user's wearing comfort.

[0044] More specifically, the mesh structure is integrally formed with the first elastic strip, the second elastic strip, and the third elastic strip.

[0045] More specifically, the width of the support strips in the mesh structure is 2-4mm, and the thickness is 1-1.5mm. Too narrow a width can lead to excessive local pressure or structural damage, while too wide a width reduces the mesh area and air permeability. The third elastic strip is 6-10mm wide, and the support strips in the mesh structure are 2-4mm wide, allowing for a layered design of "main support + auxiliary pressure dispersion," avoiding a bulky appearance.

[0046] More specifically, the first elastic strip, the second elastic strip, the third elastic strip, and the mesh support strip are made of one of TPE, TPU, or silicone rubber. Preferably, the first elastic strip, the second elastic strip, the third elastic strip, and the mesh support strip are made of silicone rubber. This design makes the bra comfortable and soft to wear, while also providing good support.

[0047] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
