Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of women's underwear. More specifically, it relates to a longitudinally segmented two-piece cup and a bra having the cup. Background Technology

[0002] In the bra industry, two-piece construction is widely used due to its simple design and ease of manufacture, with the top-and-bottom two-piece bra being a common form. However, existing top-and-bottom two-piece bras have significant drawbacks: First, they don't provide a good fit, the cups are not rounded enough, and the tips of the cups tend to form an awkward "duckbill" shape, affecting the aesthetics of the wearer; second, the cups have a horizontally expanded appearance, making them look larger and lacking upward lift, resulting in insufficient support and shaping for the breasts. They currently fail to meet consumers' demands for a beautiful bust line and higher expectations for fit and comfort. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, one object of this utility model is to provide a longitudinally segmented two-piece bra cup.

[0004] Another objective of this invention is to provide a bra that includes the aforementioned cups.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a longitudinally segmented two-piece bra cup is provided, comprising:

[0007] A first longitudinal piece and a second longitudinal piece, wherein the thickness of the first longitudinal piece is less than the thickness of the second longitudinal piece;

[0008] The first longitudinal panel is located on the side of the bra cup closer to the center gore, and the second longitudinal panel is located on the side of the bra cup away from the center gore.

[0009] The edge of the second longitudinal piece near the first longitudinal piece is a smooth curve that rises toward the first longitudinal piece, and this edge extends from the cup support to the ear position;

[0010] The first longitudinal panel covers the nipple area, and the edges of the first and second longitudinal panels that are close to each other are spliced ​​and fixed to make the cup a three-dimensional bowl-shaped structure corresponding to the curvature of the human breast.

[0011] Alternatively, the ratio of the area of ​​the human body covered by the first longitudinal piece to the area of ​​the human body covered by the second longitudinal piece is 1:2.

[0012] Alternatively, the first longitudinal cut piece can be made of non-elastic mesh material;

[0013] The first longitudinal piece has a double-layer structure, formed by folding a piece of non-elastic mesh in half. The folded edge of the non-elastic mesh forms the front edge of the bra cup, and the open side formed by the fold is spliced ​​and fixed to the edge of the second longitudinal piece near the first longitudinal piece.

[0014] Alternatively, the second longitudinal cut piece is made of sponge or fiber cotton, including a surface layer, a cotton layer and an inner layer, wherein the cotton layer is located between the surface layer and the inner layer.

[0015] The outer layer and the cotton layer are quilted together and attached to the inner layer. The quilting lines are set according to the arc of the side edge of the second longitudinal piece that is close to the first longitudinal piece, and are distributed parallel to the surface of the second longitudinal piece.

[0016] Alternatively, the quilting spacing of the quilting thread can be 5-10mm.

[0017] Alternatively, a dart is provided on the side of the first longitudinal piece close to the second longitudinal piece, the dart being positioned corresponding to the breast point, and the dart is gathered by sewing to give the first longitudinal piece a three-dimensional curvature to cover the breast point.

[0023] According to another aspect of the present invention, a bra is provided, comprising an underband, a back panel, shoulder straps, and a longitudinally segmented two-piece cup.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0025] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a two-piece bra cup with vertical segmentation and a bra incorporating the cup. By splicing the first and second vertically segmented pieces, the undesirable pressure on the breasts caused by traditional single-piece bras is reduced, making the cup less likely to feel constricted and improving wearing comfort. The first and second vertically segmented pieces use different materials and are spliced ​​together, achieving a combination of solid and void effects. This ensures the cup is lightweight and breathable while maintaining its lifting effect. The quilted seams further enhance the cup's lateral support, improving the overall gathering effect. The first vertically segmented piece is made of double-layered non-elastic mesh, ensuring adequate coverage while maintaining good breathability and invisibility. Embroidered patterns cleverly conceal the nipple area, preventing leaks. In summary, the bra cup provided by this utility model has the advantages of good lifting effect, strong lateral support, leak prevention, breathability, comfort, and a slimming effect.

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] In this invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features not being in direct contact but through another feature between them.

[0035] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0036] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a longitudinally segmented two-piece bra cup, combined with... Figure 1-5 As shown, the bra cup includes a first longitudinal panel 1 and a second longitudinal panel 2, wherein the thickness of the first longitudinal panel 1 is less than the thickness of the second longitudinal panel 2.

[0037] The first vertical piece 1 is located on the side of the bra cup closer to the center gore, and the second vertical piece 2 is located on the side of the bra cup away from the center gore.

[0038] The edge of the second longitudinal piece 2 near the first longitudinal piece 1 is a smooth curve that rises in the direction of the first longitudinal piece 1, and this edge extends from the cup support to the ear position.

[0039] The first vertical piece 1 covers the nipple area, and the portion of the first vertical piece 1 corresponding to the nipple area is provided with an embroidered pattern 3 to enhance the coverage effect on the nipple area.

[0040] The first longitudinal panel 1 and the second longitudinal panel 2 are spliced ​​and fixed together on one side of each other to make the bra cup a three-dimensional bowl-shaped structure corresponding to the curvature of the human breast.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, the first vertical panel 1 and the second vertical panel 2 are divided into left and right vertical sections, and the ratio of the area of ​​the human body covered by the first vertical panel 1 to the area covered by the second vertical panel 2 is 1:2. Because the first vertical panel 1 and the second vertical panel 2 are divided into left and right vertical sections with smooth curves, compared to the single-line division commonly seen in the prior art, this reduces undue pressure on the chest, making the bra cups less likely to press against the skin and improving wearing comfort.

[0042] The first vertical panel 1 is made of non-elastic mesh fabric, and the second vertical panel 2 is made of sponge or fiber cotton fabric. The division ratio of the first vertical panel 1 and the second vertical panel 2 ensures that the bra cup has sufficient support and lift while also being breathable and lightweight.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, the first longitudinal panel 1 is made of non-elastic mesh material. Specifically, the first longitudinal panel 1 has a double-layer structure, formed by folding a piece of non-elastic mesh in half. The folded edge of the non-elastic mesh forms the front edge of the bra cup, and the open side formed by the fold is spliced ​​and fixed to the edge of the second longitudinal panel 2 near the first longitudinal panel 1. The double-layer non-elastic mesh material of the first longitudinal panel 1 can ensure both the coverage area of ​​the bra cup and the breathability and fit of the bra cup.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the second longitudinal piece 2 is made of sponge or fiber cotton, including a surface layer 21, a cotton layer 22, and an inner layer 23, wherein the cotton layer 22 is located between the surface layer 21 and the inner layer 23. The second longitudinal piece 2 made of sponge or fiber cotton can enhance the support effect of the bra cup. When spliced ​​and fixed with the first longitudinal piece 1 made of non-elastic mesh, it achieves a combination of solid and void, which not only ensures the support effect of the bra cup, but also meets the coverage area of ​​the bra cup while making the overall appearance of the bra cup smaller. This makes the bra cup stable to wear, with strong support and light and breathable properties.

[0045] In this embodiment, the outer layer 21 and the cotton layer 22 are first connected by quilting, and then attached and fixed to the inner layer 23. The inner layer 23 is a conforming layer that covers the quilting lines, which can improve the comfort of wearing the bra cup.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the quilting lines 24 are set to correspond to the arc of the side edge of the second longitudinal piece 2 near the first longitudinal piece 1, and are distributed parallel to the surface of the second longitudinal piece 2.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, the quilting spacing d of the quilting thread 24 is 5-10mm. By setting the quilting thread, the lateral thrust and upward lifting force of the second longitudinal piece 2 are enhanced, which can better support the breast and has a good gathering and support effect. At the same time, the presence of the quilting thread increases the friction between the cup and the skin, so that the breast is stably covered and not easily spilled out when the cup is worn.

[0048] In this embodiment, the outer layer 21 and the inner layer 23 are made of woven fabric. The woven fabric combined with quilted seams can enhance the texture of the second longitudinal piece 2, thereby enhancing the lateral push-up effect of the cup and providing better support when worn.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first longitudinal piece 1 has a dart 11 on the side close to the second longitudinal piece 2. The dart 11 is set to correspond to the nipple. The dart 11 is gathered by the sewing line so that the first longitudinal piece 1 presents a three-dimensional arc, forming a three-dimensional space to accommodate the nipple position, so as to cover the nipple position and achieve the effect of preventing nipple protrusion.

[0050] In this embodiment, the saving amount L of Provincial Highway 11 is 4cm, and the saving angle α is 30°.

[0051] In existing technologies, to achieve a three-dimensional curved shape in the bra cup, darts are typically placed on the second longitudinal panel. This method of segmentation results in a large amount of darts, but the cup's curve is not rounded enough. In this embodiment, the nipple point of the bra cup is moved upwards, so that the first longitudinal panel 1 covers the nipple point. The darts are then placed on the first longitudinal panel 1. This achieves the effect of covering the nipple point with a smaller amount of darts, resulting in a more rounded cup, a better fit to the body when worn, and less likelihood of wrinkles or dart pockets, making it more seamless. Furthermore, the smaller amount of darts makes sewing easier for operators when gathering the darts, and the stitching is also smoother and flatter.

[0052] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, by setting an embroidery pattern 3 on the outer surface of the first longitudinal piece 1, the stitching lines and the splicing marks of the first longitudinal piece 1 and the second longitudinal piece are covered, making the bra cup look seamless and beautiful while enriching the layering of the bra cup, and further enhancing the anti-protrusion effect of the bra cup.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, the lower edges of the first longitudinal panel 1 and the second longitudinal panel 2 are joined together to form the lower support of the bra cup. The ratio of the length 'a' of the lower edge of the first longitudinal panel 1 to the length 'b' of the lower edge of the second longitudinal panel is 1:4. This ratio makes the bra cup appear more three-dimensional and layered.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, the bra cup also includes a soft underwire 4, which is built into the underside of the bra cup. The soft underwire 4 is fixed by an edge-binding process, which can ensure that the bra cup is stable and does not easily slip when worn.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, the height of the center gore of the bra cup is 3-5cm. A lower center gore can reduce the discomfort and pressure caused by the top of the soft underwire 4 in the front center part, and can also effectively present the curve of the chest, making the bra cup more beautiful and comfortable to wear.

[0056] Another embodiment of this utility model provides a bra, such as Figure 5 As shown, the bra includes an underband 100, a back band 200, shoulder straps 300, and a two-piece cup with longitudinal division as described in the above embodiment.

[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. All obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
