Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bra technology, specifically relating to bras. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, bras, as an important component of women's underwear, primarily function to provide support, shaping, and comfort for the breasts. With social development and the diversification of consumer demands, modern bras not only need to meet basic functional requirements but also need to possess excellent aesthetic design and wearing experience. In existing technologies, traditional bra designs may not be able to provide sufficient support for all types of breasts, especially during sports or daily activities, where a lack of effective lateral and vertical support may lead to breast tissue spreading outwards or sagging. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of the present invention is to provide a bra.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model provides a bra, comprising: a bra body; two side panels, each connected to one side of the bra body in the width direction; two back panels, each corresponding to one of the two side panels, connected to the side of the corresponding side panel away from the bra body; a bottom band, extending in the width direction and connecting the bottom of the bra body, the side panels, and the back panel; and a support strip, extending in the height direction and disposed between the side panels and the back panel, the bottom of the support strip being connected to the bottom band, and the projection of the support strip in the thickness direction overlapping the bottom band portion.

[0006] According to this invention, the support strip enhances the support capacity of the sides and back of the bra, helping to better support the breasts. Especially for larger-sized bras, it can effectively prevent the breasts from spreading outwards and sagging. Moreover, since the bottom of the support strip is connected to the underband, the support strip remains stable throughout the wearing process and is not prone to shifting, thus providing continuous and stable support. In particular, the support strip does not extend completely to the bottom of the underband, avoiding discomfort or chafing caused by hard materials directly contacting the skin, improving the wearer's comfort. At the same time, the design of the support strip helps maintain the bra's good shape, retaining its initial shape even after prolonged wear, making the wearer look more elegant and appropriate.

[0007] Furthermore, the height dimension of the overlap between the support bar and the lower strip in the thickness direction is h1, and the height dimension of the lower strip is h2, satisfying: 0.3≤h1 / h2≤0.35.

[0008] Furthermore, the height of the lower strip is h2, which satisfies: 2.2cm≤h2≤3cm.

[0009] Furthermore, the underwire comprises multiple layers of fabric connected to each other in the thickness direction, with at least a portion of the support strip located between the multiple layers of fabric.

[0010] Furthermore, the undershirt structure is an air layer fabric formed by multiple layers of the fabric.

[0011] Furthermore, in the width direction, the projection of the support strip at least partially overlaps with the bra body.

[0012] Furthermore, a cup support is provided between the bra body and the side panel. The height of the cup support gradually increases in the direction towards the side panel. The distance between the top of the support bar and the underband is L1, and the distance between the top of the cup support and the underband is L2, satisfying: 0.8≤L1 / L2≤1.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the support bar and the top of the bowl holder are spaced apart from each other in the width direction.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes: a shoulder strap, one end of which is connected to the bra body, and the other end of which is connected to the back bra. The distance between one end of the shoulder strap and the underband is L3, satisfying: 1.1≤L3 / L2≤1.3.

[0015] Furthermore, the distance between the top of the bowl holder and the lower sill is L2, which satisfies: 10cm≤L2≤14cm.

[0016] Other advantages, objectives, and features of this invention will be set forth in the following description and will be apparent to those skilled in the art to some extent, or may be learned by practice of this invention. The objectives and other advantages of this invention can be realized and obtained through the following description. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example 1: As Figures 1-2As shown, this utility model provides a bra, including: a bra body 10, side panels 20, back panels 30, underband 40, and support strip 50. The side panels 20 are configured as two, and the two side panels 20 are respectively connected to the two sides of the bra body 10 in the width direction. The back panels 30 are configured as two, corresponding one-to-one with the two side panels 20, and the back panels 30 are connected to the side of the corresponding side panel 20 away from the bra body 10. The underband 40 extends in the width direction and connects the bottom of the bra body 10, the side panels 20, and the back panels 30. The support strip 50 extends in the height direction and is disposed between the side panels 20 and the back panels 30. The bottom of the support strip 50 is connected to the underband 40, and the projection of the support strip 50 in the thickness direction partially overlaps with the underband 40.

[0027] In some embodiments, the bra body 10 is the main part of the bra, providing primary support and coverage for the breasts. The side panels 20 are located on both sides of the bra, connecting the bra body 10 and the back panel 30. The side panels 20 are used to increase lateral support and help concentrate breast tissue. The back panel 30 is located at the back and is an adjustable strap used to secure the entire bra. The underband 40 is a strap or edge at the bottom of the bra, extending along the bottom of the bra and adapted to connect the bottom of the bra body 10, the side panels 20, and the back panel 30, providing additional support and shape retention for the entire bra. The support strip 50 is a structural member extending in the height direction, disposed between the side panels 20 and the back panel 30. The bottom of the support strip 50 is connected to the underband 40, and the projection of the support strip 50 (i.e., its shadow when viewed from the side) partially overlaps with the underband 40.

[0028] Understandably, the function of the support strip 50 is to provide additional support to the bra in the width direction. The support strip 50 is designed to help gather breast tissue laterally. By connecting the bottom of the support strip 50 to the underband 40, it ensures that the support strip 50 maintains a stable position throughout the wearing process and does not shift due to movement. This also enhances the effectiveness of the support strip 50 in gathering breast tissue laterally, while effectively distributing pressure and avoiding direct compression of the wearer's body. It is worth noting that the projection of the support strip 50 in the thickness direction is located within the underband 40; that is, the bottom of the support strip 50 does not extend to the bottom of the underband 40, thus preventing the support strip 50 from digging into the skin and improving the wearer's comfort.

[0029] According to the present invention, the support strip 50 enhances the support capacity of the sides and back of the bra, helping to better support the breasts. Especially for large-sized bras, it can effectively prevent the breasts from spreading outward and sagging. Moreover, since the bottom of the support strip 50 is connected to the underband 40, the support strip 50 remains stable throughout the wearing process and is not prone to shifting, thus providing continuous and stable support. In particular, the support strip 50 does not extend completely to the bottom of the underband 40, avoiding discomfort or chafing caused by hard materials directly contacting the skin, thus improving the wearer's comfort. At the same time, the design of the support strip 50 helps maintain the bra's good shape, and it can maintain its initial shape even after wearing it for a long time, making the wearer look more elegant and proper.

[0030] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the height of the overlap between the support bar 50 and the lower strip 40 in the thickness direction is h1, and the height of the lower strip 40 is h2, satisfying: 0.3≤h1 / h2≤0.35.

[0031] In some embodiments, h1 refers to the height dimension of the support bar 50 and the undercut 40 overlapping in the thickness direction, and h2 refers to the height dimension of the undercut 40 itself, satisfying: 0.3≤h1 / h2≤0.35.

[0032] Understandably, by limiting the ratio to 0.3 ≤ h1 / h2 ≤ 0.35, the support strip 50 effectively supports the sides and back of the bra while maintaining the function of the underband 40 as a bottom connector. The overlap within the aforementioned ratio range provides sufficient rigidity, ensuring the support strip 50 is stably fixed in the correct position without shifting due to the wearer's movements. Furthermore, it prevents the support strip 50 from extending too far into the underband 40, avoiding direct contact between the hard material and the skin, thus reducing potential discomfort or pain (such as skin irritation). Simultaneously, this design ensures that the softness and elasticity of the underband 40 are not excessively affected, maintaining a good fit and comfort.

[0033] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the height dimension of the lower 40 is h2, which satisfies: 2.2cm≤h2≤3cm.

[0034] In some embodiments, 2.2cm ≤ h2 ≤ 3cm allows the underband 40 to provide sufficient space to accommodate internal structures (such as support strips 50), thereby enhancing the support of the support strips 50 for the breasts, helping to prevent breast sagging and outward expansion. It also avoids the pressure caused by an excessively high underband 40, while still providing sufficient support for comfortable wear over extended periods. Furthermore, within this height range, the underband 40 better conforms to the body's curves, reducing the possibility of shifting and maintaining a stable position even during activity or exercise. Moreover, the aforementioned underband 40 height is not only highly functional but also aesthetically harmonious and natural, avoiding an overly bulky or abrupt appearance, thus conforming to the aesthetic standards of modern lingerie design. In particular, this underband 40 height range takes into account the body characteristics of most women, making it suitable for a wide range of body types, especially for consumers seeking good support and comfort.

[0035] Example 3: Based on Example 2, the underwire 40 includes multiple layers of fabric connected to each other in the thickness direction, and at least a portion of the support strip 50 is located between the multiple layers of fabric.

[0036] Understandably, by embedding the support strip 50 between multiple layers of fabric, it is possible to ensure that the support strip 50 remains in a fixed position during wear and is not prone to displacement, thereby providing a continuous and stable support effect. Moreover, the multi-layered fabric structure increases the overall strength and durability of the underband 40, enabling the underband 40 to withstand greater tension without easily deforming or being damaged. Of course, the support strip 50 is wrapped between the fabric layers, avoiding direct contact between the support strip 50 and the skin, avoiding discomfort or chafing that may be caused by hard materials, and improving the wearer's comfort. At the same time, the support strip 50 embedded between the fabric layers helps to distribute pressure more evenly, preventing localized compression and making the entire bra fit the body's curves more closely.

[0037] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the undershirt 40 is constructed as an air-layer fabric formed by multiple layers of fabric. In some embodiments, the air-layer fabric refers to a fabric composed of multiple layers of fabric, with air layers formed between the multiple layers of fabric, thereby improving the breathability, comfort, and functionality of the undershirt 40. That is, the undershirt 40 not only has a multi-layer structure, but also intentionally leaves spaces between the multiple layers to form air layers.

[0038] Understandably, the presence of the air layer increases the breathability of the underband area 40, helping to wick away sweat and keep the wearer dry, reducing stuffiness and discomfort caused by prolonged wear. Moreover, the air layer provides additional cushioning, reducing direct pressure on the skin from the support strip 50 and other hard components, thus improving overall wearing comfort. Of course, the air layer also has a certain heat insulation effect, helping to maintain a relatively stable temperature environment, allowing the wearer to feel comfortable in different climates. At the same time, compared to a solid multi-layered structure, the air layer fabric is lighter in weight due to the presence of air inside, making the bra lighter and easier to wear. In particular, the air layer can provide additional elasticity and stretch to a certain extent, allowing the underband 40 to better conform to the body's curves without being too tight or pressing on the skin.

[0039] Example 4: Based on Example 2, in this example, the projection of the support strip in the width direction at least partially overlaps with the bra body 10. In some embodiments, when viewed from the side, the projection of the support strip in the width direction coincides with at least a portion of the bra body 10.

[0040] Understandably, the design of the support strip overlapping with the bra body 10 increases the bra's lateral support for the breasts, helping to better concentrate breast tissue in the center of the bra and prevent outward expansion. This advantage is particularly noticeable during exercise or daily activities. Moreover, by overlapping the support strip with the bra body 10, the support force can be distributed more evenly, avoiding discomfort caused by excessive local pressure and improving the wearer's comfort. Of course, the overlap between the support strip and the bra body 10 also helps maintain the positional stability of the support strip, reducing the risk of displacement during wear and ensuring that the support effect remains effective.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a cup support 60 is provided between the bra body 10 and the side panel 20. The height of the cup support 60 gradually increases in the direction toward the side panel 20. The distance between the top of the support strip and the underband 40 is L1, and the distance between the top of the cup support 60 and the underband 40 is L2, satisfying: 0.8≤L1 / L2≤1.

[0042] Understandably, the presence of the cup support 60 and its gradually increasing height helps to concentrate the outer breast tissue inward, making the breasts appear fuller and more concentrated, thus improving the overall breast shape. Moreover, the height ratio between the support bar and the cup support 60 satisfies the condition: 0.8≤L1 / L2≤1, ensuring that the support bar and the cup support 60 can work together to provide appropriate vertical and lateral support while avoiding excessive compression of the breast tissue.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned ratio range ensures that the height difference between the support bar and the cup holder 60 is moderate, which ensures that the support bar provides the necessary vertical support while ensuring that the cup holder 60 effectively performs its chest-lifting function. If the ratio is too small (less than 0.8), the support bar may appear too high, causing unnecessary pressure; if the ratio is too large (greater than 1), it may result in insufficient support or the cup holder 60 being ineffective.

[0044] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the top of the support strip and the top of the cup holder 60 are spaced apart from each other in the width direction. It is understood that the gap between the support strip and the top of the cup holder 60 helps to distribute pressure, avoids localized pressure caused by direct contact between the support strip and the cup holder 60, and improves the wearer's comfort. Moreover, by maintaining an appropriate gap, the support strip and the cup holder 60 can work independently, providing vertical support and chest-lifting effect respectively, without interfering with each other, thereby achieving optimal support performance.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bra further includes: a shoulder strap 70, one end of which is connected to the bra body 10, and the other end of which is connected to the back bra 30. The distance between one end of the shoulder strap 70 and the underband 40 is L3, which satisfies: 1.1≤L3 / L2≤1.3.

[0046] Understandably, the ratio of 1.1≤L3 / L2≤1.3 ensures that the position of the shoulder strap 70 is neither too high nor too low, which can effectively distribute the weight of the chest, reduce pressure on the shoulders, and improve the comfort of wearing for a long time. Moreover, the above settings allow the shoulder strap 70, cup support 60, and underband 40 to work together to provide comprehensive and balanced support, avoiding the problems of insufficient local support or excessive pressure, and achieving the best support effect.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the distance between the top of the bowl support 60 and the lower support 40 is L2, which satisfies: 10cm≤L2≤14cm.

[0048] Understandably, the 10cm to 14cm L2 range provides sufficient vertical space to support breast tissue and help maintain a good shape. This is especially true for larger bra sizes, as it significantly improves breast support and avoids the problem of bras being too tight or too loose. It reduces direct pressure on the skin, making the wearer feel comfortable even after wearing it for a long time. Of course, it also allows the bra to fit the body curves more closely, reducing the possibility of shifting and maintaining a stable position even during activities or sports. In particular, the aforementioned L2 range is not only highly functional but also looks more harmonious and natural, without appearing too bulky or abrupt, which meets the aesthetic standards of modern lingerie design.

[0049] 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.
