Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In recent years, wire-free bras have become increasingly popular among consumers due to their unique comfort and health benefits, leading to a continuous rise in market demand. However, removing the underwire often requires thicker fabrics, adhesives, or other structures to provide support, resulting in an increase in the overall thickness of the bra. While this increases support, it also reduces breathability and comfort. Furthermore, the seams between the structures can easily cause bulges when wearing thin clothing. Traditional seamless bras, while retaining comfort, offer weaker support and shaping for the breasts.

[0003] Prior art disclosed in CN222074522U is a seamless soft support bra, comprising a bra panel and cup pads. The bra panel is a multi-layered structure with protrusions corresponding to the breast area, and the cup pads are sheet-like structures placed at the protrusions and capable of covering the nipples. A cup lining strip is provided on the outer edge of the cup pad. Together, they form the cup coverage area. The cup lining strip connects to the bra panel along the side edge of the cup to form a composite elastic strip. The cup pads and cup lining strips form an elastic structure that gathers from the sides towards the center in the cup coverage area of ​​the protrusions. This prior art bra uses a large number of cup lining strips to gather the breasts, which can cause poor breathability and a significant feeling of pressure, making it uncomfortable for the wearer.

[0004] The prior art disclosed in CN211091924U discloses a support-enhanced cup and bra. The cup includes an outer cup layer, an inner cup layer, and a support portion disposed between the outer and inner cup layers. The support portion is located inside the cup and is not visible from the outside. A first support strip lifts the breasts upward at the lower part of the cup, and a second support strip tightens inward and gathers the breasts at the cup's bend. The first and second support strips are integrally formed and connected on one side of the cup, effectively enhancing the integrity of the internal support structure of the cup, enabling the cup to achieve higher structural stability and stronger support. However, the bra in this prior art has poor front support, poor overall support structure stability, and a limited pressure-bearing range, and cannot provide more stable support for the breasts. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a bra. This addresses the problems of existing bras that use numerous cup lining strips to gather the breasts, resulting in poor breathability and significant pressure, causing discomfort to the wearer; as well as the poor front support, poor overall support structure stability, and limited pressure resistance of existing bras, failing to provide more stable support for the breasts.

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

[0007] A bra includes a cup, a reinforcing portion of the cup, and a molded cup. The reinforcing portion is disposed on the molded cup and includes a first reinforcing strip, a second reinforcing strip, a third reinforcing strip, and a fourth reinforcing strip. The first reinforcing strip extends along the cup bend, the second reinforcing strip extends along the underwire, the third reinforcing strip has a vertical arc-shaped structure with its opening facing the center of the cup, and the fourth reinforcing strip extends along the front panel. The first, second, and fourth reinforcing strips are connected sequentially. One end of the third reinforcing strip is connected to the first reinforcing strip, and the other end of the third reinforcing strip is connected to the second reinforcing strip. The connection point between the first and second reinforcing strips is close to the connection point between the cup bend and the underwire.

[0008] The fourth reinforcing strip in this design enhances the support of the front panel. Connecting with the first and second reinforcing strips, it improves the stability of the support structure. The vertically curved third reinforcing strip enhances the fit to the chest, allowing it to tightly wrap around the breast, increasing support and shaping. Furthermore, the multiple reinforcing strips reduce the amount of fabric covering the chest area, increasing breathability and allowing the wearer's skin to breathe better, reducing stuffiness. The reinforced structure is rationally arranged, with reinforcing strips placed in key areas (the cupped area, underwire area, and front panel) to provide support and shaping, effectively reducing pressure on the chest and improving wearing comfort. The rational connection between the first, second, third, and fourth reinforcing strips provides precise support and shaping for different parts of the chest, ensuring comfort while better maintaining the shape of the breast, meeting women's needs for both aesthetic appeal and comfortable wear.

[0009] Furthermore, the first reinforcing strip, the second reinforcing strip, the third reinforcing strip, and the fourth reinforcing strip are integrally formed structures.

[0010] The one-piece molding structure makes the connection between the various parts of the reinforcement more secure, and it is less likely to loosen or fall off. In addition, the one-piece molding reinforcement structure is relatively simple, reducing unnecessary material layers and providing a smoother channel for air to flow inside the bra, which is conducive to the dissipation of heat and moisture.

[0011] Furthermore, the reinforcing part also includes a fifth reinforcing strip, which is located inside the third reinforcing strip, is parallel to the third reinforcing strip, and has a length less than that of the third reinforcing strip.

[0012] The fifth reinforcing strip in this design enhances the support and shaping effect on the breasts. It also relieves some of the pressure that was originally borne by the third reinforcing strip, reducing the feeling of pressure. Furthermore, the gap between the fifth and third reinforcing strips improves the breathability of the bra.

[0013] Furthermore, on any mold cup, the fifth reinforcing strip is provided in multiple ways, and the multiple fifth reinforcing strips are arranged vertically in an arc shape and have a certain spacing.

[0014] This design increases the bra's breathability while also improving its support and lift effect on the bust. Multiple fifth reinforcement strips prevent localized pressure and enhance comfort during extended wear.

[0015] Furthermore, the bra also includes an underband, side panels, and a center gore. The side panels are provided with a side push-up part, and the underband is provided with a support part and a breathable part. The side push-up part is connected to the side of the molded cup, and the support part is connected to the lower side of the molded cup.

[0016] The support and side push sections in this design enhance the support and lift of the breasts, preventing them from sagging.

[0017] Furthermore, the side pusher includes a first side pusher, a second side pusher, and a vertical support bar. One end of the first side pusher is connected to the vertical support bar, and the other end of the first side pusher is connected to the mold cup. One end of the second side pusher is connected to the mold cup, and the other end of the second side pusher is connected to the vertical support bar.

[0018] In this setup, the vertical support bar works in conjunction with the first and second side push bars to make the entire side push section more stable and improve the side push effect on the breast.

[0019] Furthermore, the connection point between the vertical support bar and the lower bundle is a support point, and the end of the second side push bar away from the mold cup is connected to the support point.

[0020] This design makes the side thruster more stable and reliable.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a third side push bar, the second side push bar and the third side push bar form a "V" structure, the upper end of the "V" structure is connected to the mold cup, and the lower end of the "V" structure is fixed to the support point and the lower bundle respectively.

[0022] This design improves the stability of the lateral support section, providing more effective support for the chest.

[0023] Furthermore, the support portion includes a frame support strip, one end of which is connected to the lower side of the cup, and the other end of which is fixed to the lower band. The opening of the frame support strip is away from the center of the cup.

[0024] This design increases the contact area between the frame support strip and the lower edge of the molded cup, improving the breast support effect.

[0025] Furthermore, the ventilated part includes a first vent and a second vent, the first vent being disposed on the chicken heart and the second vent being disposed on the underside.

[0026] This design improves the breathability of the bra cups, making them more comfortable for the wearer.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the bra described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0028] 1) The fourth reinforcing strip in this utility model can enhance the support of the front panel. The fourth reinforcing strip is connected with the first and second reinforcing strips, which can improve the stability of the support structure. The third reinforcing strip with a vertical arc structure enhances the fit with the chest, so that the reinforcing strip can tightly wrap the chest, enhance the support and shaping effect.

[0029] 2) The multiple reinforcing strips in this invention reduce the need for large-area patch coverage on the chest, thereby increasing the breathability of the bra and allowing the wearer's chest skin to breathe better, reducing stuffiness; the reinforced structure is reasonably arranged, with reinforcing strips set in key areas (bending area, underwire area, front panel area) to provide support and shaping effect, effectively reducing pressure on the chest and improving wearing comfort; the first, second, third, and fourth reinforcing strips are reasonably connected to provide precise support and shaping for different parts of the chest, ensuring comfort while better maintaining the shape of the chest, meeting women's needs for both aesthetic and comfortable wearing of the bra;

[0030] 2) The fifth reinforcing strip of this utility model enhances the gathering and shaping effect on the chest, and also shares some of the pressure that was originally borne by the third reinforcing strip alone, reducing the feeling of pressure. Furthermore, a certain gap is formed between the fifth reinforcing strip and the third reinforcing strip, which improves the breathability of the bra. Attached Figure Description

The reinforced structure is rationally arranged, with reinforcing strips placed in key areas (the cupped area, underwire area, and front panel) to provide support and shaping, effectively reducing pressure on the chest and improving wearing comfort. The rational connection between the first, second, third, and fourth reinforcing strips provides precise support and shaping for different parts of the chest, ensuring comfort while better maintaining the shape of the breast, meeting women's needs for both aesthetic appeal and comfortable wear.

[0043] Specifically, the first reinforcing strip 11, the second reinforcing strip 12, the third reinforcing strip 13, and the fourth reinforcing strip 14 are integrally formed structures.

[0044] Specifically, the reinforcing part 1 further includes a fifth reinforcing strip 15, which is located inside the third reinforcing strip 13 and is parallel to the third reinforcing strip.

[0045] The fifth reinforcing strip enhances the support and shaping of the bust, while also relieving some of the pressure previously borne by the third reinforcing strip, reducing the feeling of constriction. Furthermore, the gap between the fifth and third reinforcing strips improves the bra's breathability.

[0046] More specifically, the length of the fifth reinforcing strip 15 is less than the length of the third reinforcing strip 13.

[0047] This design not only enhances shaping but also avoids applying pressure over a large area of ​​the chest, improving comfort during extended wear.

[0048] More specifically, on any mold cup, there are multiple fifth reinforcing strips 15, and the multiple fifth reinforcing strips 15 are arranged vertically in an arc shape and have a certain spacing. Preferably, there are two fifth reinforcing strips 15.

[0049] This design increases the bra's breathability while also improving its support and lift effect on the bust. Multiple fifth reinforcement strips prevent localized pressure and enhance comfort during extended wear.

One end of the second side push strip 22 is connected to the mold cup, and the other end of the second side push strip 22 is connected to the vertical support strip 24.

[0053] More specifically, the connection point between the vertical support bar 24 and the lower bundle 60 is the support point, and the end of the second side push bar 22 away from the mold cup 5 is connected to the support point.

[0054] More specifically, the side push part 2 also includes a third side push strip 23, the second side push strip 22 and the third side push strip 23 form a "V" structure, the upper end of the "V" structure is connected to the mold cup, and the lower end of the "V" structure is fixed to the support point and the lower bundle respectively.

[0055] Specifically, the support part 3 includes a frame support strip 31, one end of which is connected to the lower side of the cup, and the other end of which is fixed to the lower strap 60. The opening of the frame support strip 31 is far away from the center of the cup.

[0056] Preferably, the reinforcing part, the side pushing part, and the supporting part all use silicone strips. The silicone strips are microporous foamed silicone strips, which not only have good elastic support but also have a certain degree of air permeability.

[0057] Specifically, the ventilation part 4 includes a first ventilation hole 41 and a second ventilation hole 42. The first ventilation hole 41 is disposed on the chicken heart 20, and the second ventilation hole 42 is disposed on the lower part 30.
