Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein belong to the field of underwear technology, specifically relating to a bra cup and underwear. Background Technology

[0002] Existing bra products typically use a single layer of foam as the cup material. Due to the limited thickness of a single layer of foam, its support strength is relatively weak. Under prolonged wear or external force, the cup is prone to sagging or deformation, affecting the bra's support and wearing comfort. Furthermore, uneven stress distribution in different areas of a single layer of foam can easily lead to bumps forming on the surface, affecting aesthetics and the wearing experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The embodiments disclosed herein are intended to at least address one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a bra cup and underwear.

[0004] An embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure provides a bra cup, the bra cup comprising: two cups disposed on opposite sides of the center gore area, the bra cup comprising, from the outside to the inside, a sponge cushioning layer, a sponge support layer and a skin-friendly layer, the density of the sponge support layer being greater than the density of the sponge cushioning layer, and the sponge cushioning layer having a plurality of breathable holes.

[0005] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the sponge support layer covers a portion of the sponge buffer layer.

[0006] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the sponge support layer includes a first side, a bottom side, a second side, and a top side connected in sequence. The bottom side, the second side, and the top side each coincide with a portion of the edge line of the sponge buffer layer, and at least a portion of the first side protrudes towards the center area.

[0007] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the upper part of the first side is convex toward the heart-shaped area, and the lower part of the first side is concave toward the heart-shaped area.

[0008] In some embodiments of this disclosure, a plurality of the vent holes are spaced apart and evenly distributed in the sponge buffer layer.

[0009] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the cup further includes an outer layer disposed on the side of the sponge cushioning layer opposite to the sponge support layer.

[0010] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the sponge support layer, the sponge cushioning layer, and the skin-friendly layer are integrally hot-pressed; or, the sponge support layer, the sponge cushioning layer, and the skin-friendly layer are integrally cold-pressed.

[0011] In some embodiments of this disclosure, two adjacent layers of the sponge support layer, the sponge cushioning layer, and the skin-friendly layer are bonded with adhesive; or, two adjacent layers of the sponge support layer, the sponge cushioning layer, and the skin-friendly layer are bonded by heat fusion.

[0012] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the bra cup includes a support area and a folded edge area, the folded edge area being connected to the bottom edge of the support area and bent toward the outside of the bra cup.

[0013] A second aspect of this disclosure provides an underwear comprising a center gore and two cups, the two cups being disposed on opposite sides of the center gore, the cups being the cups according to any of the above embodiments.

[0014] The bra cup and underwear of this disclosure include a sponge support layer, a sponge cushioning layer, and a skin-friendly layer, arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside of the cup. By including the sponge support layer and the sponge cushioning layer, the cup comprises two sponge layers, increasing the thickness of the sponge layers and thus improving their support. Simultaneously, the increased thickness provides more space for the deformation of the sponge layers, preventing the formation of bumps on the surface and improving the aesthetics of the cup and the user's wearing experience. The density of the sponge support layer is greater than that of the sponge cushioning layer, resulting in stronger support relative to the cushioning layer and improving the overall support strength of the cup. The density of the sponge cushioning layer is less than that of the support layer, resulting in a lighter weight and reducing the overall weight of the cup. The skin-friendly layer is located on the innermost side of the cup, contacting the user's skin and improving the user experience. Multiple ventilation holes improve the breathability of the sponge cushioning layer, thereby improving the overall breathability of the cup, reducing stuffiness, and enhancing the user experience.

[0024] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0025] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein may also include the plural forms. The terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not construed as requiring them to be performed in a particular order described or illustrated unless the order of performance is explicitly indicated. It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps may be used.

[0026] Although terms such as first, second, third, etc., may be used in this document to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or segment from another. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence. Therefore, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed below may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments.

[0027] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "over," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" would subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure provides a bra cup 100, with two cups disposed on opposite sides of the center gore area. The bra cup 100 includes, from the outside to the inside, a sponge buffer layer 20, a sponge support layer 10, and a skin-friendly layer 30. The density of the sponge support layer 10 is greater than the density of the sponge buffer layer 20, and the sponge buffer layer 20 has a plurality of breathable holes 22.

[0029] The bra cup 100 of this disclosure includes a sponge support layer 10, a sponge cushioning layer 20, and a skin-friendly layer 30, arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside of the bra cup 100. By providing the sponge support layer 10 and the sponge cushioning layer 20, the bra cup 100 includes two sponge layers, increasing the overall thickness of the sponge layers and thus improving their support. Simultaneously, the increased thickness provides more space for deformation of the sponge layers, preventing the formation of bumps on the surface and improving the aesthetics of the bra cup 100 and the user's wearing experience. The density of the sponge support layer 10 is greater than that of the sponge cushioning layer 20, resulting in stronger support from the sponge support layer 10 relative to the sponge cushioning layer 20, thereby increasing the overall support strength of the bra cup 100. The density of the sponge cushioning layer 20 is less than that of the sponge support layer 10, resulting in a lighter weight and thus reducing the overall weight of the bra cup 100. The skin-friendly layer 30 is located on the innermost side of the cup 100, and comes into contact with the user's skin to improve the user experience. Multiple ventilation holes 22 enhance the breathability of the sponge cushioning layer 20, thereby improving the overall breathability of the cup 100, reducing stuffiness, and further enhancing the user experience.

[0030] Specifically, the sponge support layer 10 is a high-density sponge with a density range greater than or equal to 45 kg / m³. 3The sponge cushioning layer 20 is made of medium-density sponge, with a density range of less than 45 kg / m³. 3 And greater than or equal to 18 kg / m 3 .

[0031] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sponge cushioning layer 20 has multiple ventilation holes 22. The multiple ventilation holes 22 can improve the breathability of the sponge cushioning layer 20, thereby improving the overall breathability of the bra cup 100, reducing the stuffiness of the bra cup 100, and improving the user experience.

[0032] Specifically, multiple air vents 22 are spaced apart and evenly distributed in the sponge cushioning layer 20. The evenly distributed air vents 22 make the air permeability of the sponge cushioning layer 20 more uniform. The spaced arrangement of multiple air vents 22 can ensure the strength of the sponge cushioning layer 20 and prevent the sponge cushioning layer 20 from being easily damaged.

[0033] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sponge support layer 10 covers part of the sponge buffer layer 20, that is, the area of ​​the sponge support layer 10 is smaller than the area of ​​the sponge buffer layer 20. Compared with setting the area of ​​the sponge support layer 10 to be the same as the area of ​​the sponge buffer layer 20, the area of ​​the sponge support layer 10 is reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the sponge support layer 10, so as to reduce the overall weight of the bra cup 100 and improve the user's experience.

[0034] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sponge support layer 10 includes a first side 11, a bottom edge 12, a second side 13, and a top edge 14 connected in sequence. The first side 11, bottom edge 12, second side 13, and top edge form a closed perimeter of the sponge support layer 10. Specifically, the first side 11 is closer to the center area between the two cups 100, the second side 13 is further away from the center area between the two cups 100, the bottom edge 12 is located at the bottom of the sponge support layer 10, and the top edge 14 is located at the top of the sponge support layer 10. Specifically, the first side 11 does not coincide with the edge line 21 of the sponge cushioning layer 20, and the first side 11 is within the closed edge line 21 of the sponge cushioning layer 20. The top edge 14, bottom edge 12, and second side 13 each coincide with a portion of the edge line 21 of the sponge cushioning member, ensuring that the area of ​​the side of the sponge support member away from the center area is large enough to provide sufficient support. Setting the first side 11 within the edge line 21 of the sponge buffer layer 20 can ensure that the sponge support has sufficient support and can also reduce the weight of the sponge support.

[0035] Furthermore, at least a portion of the first side 11 protrudes towards the center gore area. The first side 11 can cover the location of the user's breast nipples, preventing the cup 100 from showing any nipple protrusion. Simultaneously, it reduces the area of ​​the sponge support layer 10, thereby reducing its weight. Specifically, the first side 11 can be entirely or partially protruding towards the center gore area, as long as it covers the breast nipples.

[0036] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the upper part of the first side 11 is convex towards the center area, and the lower part of the first side 11 is concave towards the center area. The convex shape of the upper part of the first side 11 can ensure that the sponge support layer 10 can cover the position of the protrusion. At the same time, the concave shape of the lower part of the first side 11 can minimize the area of ​​the sponge support layer 10, so as to minimize the weight of the sponge support layer 10.

[0037] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the bra cup 100 further includes an outer layer (not shown in the figures), which is disposed on the side of the sponge cushioning layer 20 opposite to the sponge support layer 10. That is, along the direction from the outside to the inside of the bra cup 100, the outer layer, the sponge cushioning layer 20, the sponge support layer 10, and the skin-friendly layer 30 are arranged sequentially. The outer layer can be made of different fabrics or have different decorations according to the user's needs.

[0038] In some embodiments of this disclosure, adjacent layers of the sponge cushioning layer 20, sponge support layer 10, sponge cushioning layer 20, and skin-friendly layer 30 are bonded with adhesive; or, adjacent layers of the sponge cushioning layer 20, sponge support layer 10, sponge support layer 10, sponge cushioning layer 20, and skin-friendly layer 30 are bonded by heat fusion. First, the sponge support layer 10, sponge cushioning layer 20, and skin-friendly layer 30 are cut or trimmed to the required shape and size; then, one side of the sponge cushioning layer 20, sponge support layer 10, and sponge support layer 10 are bonded to the sponge cushioning layer 20, and the skin-friendly layer 30 is bonded to the other side of the sponge support layer 10 and sponge cushioning layer 20, thereby bonding the sponge cushioning layer 20, sponge support layer 10, sponge support layer 10, sponge cushioning layer 20, and skin-friendly layer 30 together.

[0039] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the sponge support layer 10, the sponge cushioning layer 20, and the skin-friendly layer 30 are integrally pressed. Specifically, the sponge support layer 10, the sponge cushioning layer 20, and the skin-friendly layer 30 are integrally hot-pressed; or, the sponge support layer 10, the sponge cushioning layer 20, and the skin-friendly layer 30 are integrally cold-pressed. After the sponge support layer 10, the sponge cushioning layer 20, and the skin-friendly layer 30 are bonded together, they are then pressed into an integral structure by hot pressing or cold pressing, so that the integral structure forms the shape of a molded cup.

[0040] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after the sponge support layer 10, the sponge cushioning layer 20, and the skin-friendly layer 30 form an integral molded cup shape, the bottom of the integral molded cup shape is folded to divide the integral molded cup into a support area 101 and a folded edge area 102. Specifically, the cup 100 includes a support area 101 and a folded edge area 102, the folded edge area 102 being connected to the bottom of the support area 101 and bent towards the outside of the cup 100. The support area 101 of the cup 100 supports the user's breasts, and the folded edge area 102 supports the bottom of the support area 101, thereby increasing the support force of the support area 101 and thus increasing the support force of the cup 100.

[0041] The process of making a 100 cup bra:

[0042] First, cut or trim the sponge support layer 10, the sponge cushioning layer 20, and the skin-friendly layer 30 into the required shapes and sizes;

[0043] Second, use environmentally friendly adhesives or hot melt technology to bond and assemble the cut sponge support layer 10, sponge buffer layer 20 and skin-friendly layer 30.

[0044] Third, the assembled sponge support layer 10, sponge buffer layer 20 and skin-friendly layer 30 are placed into a mold and subjected to hot pressing or cold pressing to form an integral structure, and to form a support area 101 and a folded edge area 102.

[0045] Fourth, trim and polish the edges of the integrated structure to make them smooth and clean;

[0046] Fifth, conduct quality inspections on the smooth-edged bra cup 100, such as visual inspection, load-bearing test, and anti-slip performance test, to ensure that the bra cup 100 meets the design requirements and quality standards.

[0047] The outer layer can be decorated after the fourth step, or after the fifth step, or the outer layer can be combined with the sponge support layer 10, the sponge cushioning layer 20 and the skin-friendly layer 30 through the first to fifth steps to form the cup 100.

[0048] The second aspect of this disclosure provides an underwear comprising a center gore and two cups 100 disposed on opposite sides of the center gore, wherein the cups 100 are cups 100 according to any of the above embodiments.

[0049] The underwear of this disclosure includes a center gore area and two cups 100, which are located on opposite sides of the center gore area. Each cup 100 includes a sponge support layer 10, a sponge cushioning layer 20, and a skin-friendly layer 30, arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside of the cup 100. By providing the sponge support layer 10 and the sponge cushioning layer 20, the cup 100 includes two sponge layers, increasing the thickness of the sponge layers and thus improving their support. Simultaneously, the increased thickness provides more space for deformation of the sponge layers, preventing the formation of bumps on the surface and improving the aesthetics of the cup 100 and the user's wearing experience. The density of the sponge support layer 10 is greater than that of the sponge cushioning layer 20, resulting in stronger support from the sponge support layer 10 relative to the sponge cushioning layer 20, thereby increasing the overall support strength of the cup 100. The density of the sponge cushioning layer 20 is less than that of the sponge support layer 10, resulting in a lighter weight and thus reducing the overall weight of the cup 100. The skin-friendly layer 30 is located on the innermost side of the cup 100, and comes into contact with the user's skin to improve the user experience. Multiple ventilation holes 22 enhance the breathability of the sponge cushioning layer 20, thereby improving the overall breathability of the cup 100, reducing stuffiness, and further enhancing the user experience.

[0050] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments used to illustrate the principles of this disclosure, and this disclosure is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and substance of this disclosure, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
