Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of underwear, and more particularly to a garment with bra cups. Background Technology
[0002] With increased self-awareness among modern women, comfort and self-care are becoming more important when choosing clothing with bra cups. As a result, thin and breathable bra cups are increasingly becoming the preferred choice. However, existing products struggle to meet both needs: styles that prioritize thinness often lack support and fail to provide ideal breast shape; while products with good shaping effects often fall short in terms of thickness and breathability, failing to meet the pursuit of ultimate comfort.
[0003] Therefore, how to balance a lightweight and slim experience with effective support and shaping is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a garment with cups that combines a lightweight feel with effective support and shaping.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A garment with a bra cup includes a base, a first reinforcing area, and a second reinforcing area. The base, the first reinforcing area, and the second reinforcing area are connected to each other to form a bra cup. The transition area between the bra cup and the main body of the garment includes an upper edge and a lower edge. The upper edge is located at the upper part of the bra cup, and the lower edge is located at the lower part of the bra cup. The first reinforcing area covers the nipple area B1 and connects to the upper edge and / or the lower edge. The second reinforcing area extends from the first reinforcing area in the direction of the upper edge and / or the lower edge to form a T-shaped structure.
[0007] The tensile stress S1 of the matrix is less than the tensile stress S2 of the first reinforcing zone and the tensile stress S3 of the second reinforcing zone.
[0008] In some embodiments, the first reinforcing region is connected to all or part of the upper edge; the second reinforcing region is connected to part of the lower edge.
[0009] In some embodiments, the transition area between the bra cup and the main body of the garment also includes a side edge line located on the side of the bra cup.
[0010] In some embodiments, the first reinforcing region is partially connected to the upper edge and fully connected to the side edge; the second reinforcing region is partially connected to the lower edge.
[0011] The first reinforcing zone is fully connected to the upper edge and partially connected to the side edge; the second reinforcing zone is partially connected to the lower edge.
[0012] The first reinforcing zone is fully connected to the upper edge and fully connected to the side edge; the second reinforcing zone is partially connected to the lower edge.
[0013] In some embodiments, the bra includes two cups, the upper edges of which are connected together; the first reinforcing areas of the two cups are connected together and connected to the front of the upper edge; and the second reinforcing areas of the two cups are connected to the lower edge of the corresponding cup.
[0014] In some embodiments, two cups are included, with the upper edges of the two cups being independent of each other.
[0015] In some embodiments, the boundary points of the first reinforcement area and the second reinforcement area are C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6, respectively, wherein boundary points C1, C2, C3 and C4 are located on the lower edge line; boundary point C5 is located between the side ear point B2 and boundary point C4, and boundary point C6 is located between boundary point C1 and side ear point B2.
[0016] In some embodiments, boundary point C5 is located on the side edge line.
[0017] In some embodiments, boundary point C6 and side ear point B2 are on the same horizontal line.
[0018] In some embodiments, the first and second reinforcing areas are connected to the substrate using heat-bonded reinforcing fabric, sewn reinforcing fabric, liquid spandex / Lycra reinforcement, fabric structure reinforcement / elasticity switching, or adhesive coating.
[0019] In some embodiments, the cup is a sewn cup, a molded cup, or a combination of sewn and molded cups; the substrate includes non-elastic nonwoven fabric, foam material, sandwich, woven fabric, knitted fabric, or elastic nonwoven fabric, foam material, sandwich, woven fabric, knitted fabric.
[0020] In some embodiments, the cup shape is 1 / 2 cup, 3 / 4 cup, 4 / 5 cup, full cup, or one-piece cup.
[0021] In some embodiments, a pad is provided covering the nipple area B1, and the pad may be a low-elasticity or non-elasticity pad.
[0022] In some embodiments, the shape of the nipple-covering area B1 is circular, oval, square, or petal-shaped.
[0023] In some embodiments, clothing with cups can be used in regular bras, long bras, sports bras, and shapewear with bra straps.
[0024] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the bra cup of this application includes a first reinforcing area and a second reinforcing area. Since the first reinforcing area and the second reinforcing area form a T-shaped structure, and the tensile stress S2 of the first reinforcing area and the tensile stress S3 of the second reinforcing area are greater than the tensile stress S1 of the substrate, the first reinforcing area and the second reinforcing area can form a triangular support, which can improve the support performance of the bra cup and take into account both the thin and light experience and effective support and shaping.

[0038] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and not intended to limit it. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0039] See Figure 1 This application discloses a garment with a bra cup 1, comprising a base 11, a first reinforcing region 12, and a second reinforcing region 13. The base 11, the first reinforcing region 12, and the second reinforcing region 13 are interconnected to form the bra cup 1. The transition area between the bra cup 1 and the garment body 2 includes an upper edge line L5 and a lower edge line L4. The upper edge line L5 is located at the upper part of the bra cup 1, and the lower edge line L4 is located at the lower part of the bra cup 1. The first reinforcing region 12 covers the nipple area B1 and connects the upper edge line L5 and / or the lower edge line L4. The second reinforcing region 13 extends from the first reinforcing region 12 in the direction of the upper edge line L5 and / or the lower edge line L4 to form a T-shaped structure. The tensile stress S1 of the base 11 is less than the tensile stress S2 of the first reinforcing region 12 and the tensile stress S3 of the second reinforcing region 13.
[0040] The bra cup 1 includes a first reinforcing area 12 and a second reinforcing area 13. Since the first reinforcing area 12 and the second reinforcing area 13 form a T-shaped structure, and the tensile stress S2 of the first reinforcing area 12 and the tensile stress S3 of the second reinforcing area 13 are greater than the tensile stress S1 of the base 11, the first reinforcing area 12 and the second reinforcing area 13 can form a triangular support, which can improve the support performance of the bra cup 1 and can take into account both the thin and light experience and effective support and shaping.
[0041] It should be noted that the first reinforcing region 12 and the second reinforcing region 13 are made of the same material as the base 11. In the case of an integral structure, the fabric structure of the first reinforcing region 12 and the second reinforcing region 13 is different from that of the base 11. The tensile stress of the fabric structure of the first reinforcing region 12 and the second reinforcing region 13 is greater than that of the fabric structure of the base 11.
[0042] The substrate 11 may be made of the same or different materials as the first reinforcing area 12 and the second reinforcing area 13, and may be connected by heat-bonded reinforcing fabric, sewn reinforcing fabric, liquid spandex / Lycra reinforcement, fabric structure reinforcement / elasticity switching, or adhesive coating.
[0043] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the following terms are introduced:
[0044] L1 is the front center symmetry line of the garment with cup 1, L2 is the horizontal line passing through the side shoulder ear point B2, L3 is the horizontal line passing through the lowest point B3, L4 is the lower edge line, L5 is the upper edge line, and L6 is the side edge line.
[0045] The bra cup 1 and this application can be adjusted to fit different types of clothing by adjusting the shape of the first reinforcing area 12 and the second reinforcing area 13.
[0046] See Figure 2 The boundary points of the first reinforcement zone 12 and the second reinforcement zone 13 are C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6, respectively, wherein the boundary points C1, C2, C3 and C4 are located on the lower edge line L4.
[0047] Boundary point C5 is located between the lateral shoulder ear point B2 and boundary point C4, and boundary point C6 is located between boundary point C1 and lateral shoulder ear point B2.

[0049] The above is merely one illustration of the first reinforcing area 12 and the second reinforcing area 13.

That is, at least a portion of at least one of the upper edge L5 and the lower edge L4 is not connected to the first reinforcing area 12 and the second reinforcing area 13.
