Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bra technology, and in particular to a bra support component. Background Technology

[0002] As an essential category of underwear worn daily by women, the core function of a bra is to provide effective support and shaping while ensuring comfort. Among these components, the underband (or band) located at the bottom of the cups and encircling the lower bust plays a crucial supporting role. It needs to bear most of the weight of the breasts, distribute pressure evenly across the chest cavity, and secure the cups in place to prevent them from slipping or shifting.

[0003] However, the underband design of existing bras generally has some problems that affect comfort and functionality:

[0004] Issues of constriction and marks: Traditional underbands are mostly made of single-layer or simple composite elastic fabrics. To provide sufficient support, they often require a high degree of tightness. This can easily lead to a noticeable feeling of pressure when wearing them, especially when wearing them for extended periods or breathing deeply (such as during exercise or desk work) that causes rib expansion. The underbands lack sufficient dynamic elasticity, causing them to constrict the skin tightly, resulting in discomfort and even marks, severely impacting the wearing experience and deviating from the pursuit of "zero restraint" comfort.

[0005] Poor Dynamic Adaptability: During breathing and activity, the ribcage expands and contracts. Existing underband structures are relatively rigid or lack sufficient elasticity, making it difficult to smoothly and in real-time adapt to these dynamic changes. This often leads to two problems: first, the underband cannot effectively stretch to accommodate the expanding bust, exacerbating the feeling of constriction; second, because the underband is usually fixedly connected to the bottom of the cups (e.g., sewn shut), its rigidity is transmitted upwards, forcing the bottom of the cups (especially the underwire area) to lift or shift, disrupting the fit between the cups and the underbust, causing the underwire to not stably adhere to the pre-set lower breast base position, affecting support and causing friction and discomfort. Therefore, a bra support component is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.

[0007] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a bra support component to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of the present invention provides a bra support component, including a cup, shoulder straps, and back straps. The back straps are fixedly connected to the rear end of the cup, and the ends of the back straps can be hooked by hooks. The shoulder straps are fixedly connected between the corners of the cups and the top of the back straps.

[0009] The cups are fixedly connected to a center gore, and the bottom of the cups is transitionally connected to a pull tab, the top of which is fixed to the center gore.

The upper end of the arc-shaped connector is heat-fused to the inner side of the bottom of the cup, and the lower end of the arc-shaped connector wraps around the top of the underband to form a hinged connection.

[0011] The underbelly belt consists of an inner layer and an outer layer, with the outer layer covering the outer surface of the inner layer.

[0014] Special design: The top of the underbust strap is 15mm wide and then narrows to 10mm at the bottom to match the curvature of the human lower chest.

[0015] Meanwhile, the underband and the bra cup are connected by an arc-shaped connector. The arc-shaped connector is a TPU material sheet. Its upper end is heat-fused to the inner bottom of the bra cup, and its lower end wraps around the top of the underband to form a hinged connection.

[0016] Effects: Dynamic fit, ribs expand during breathing, then the silicone inner layer stretches, and the arc-shaped connectors rotate at the hinge point to prevent the bottom of the cup from lifting up; achieving zero-restraint support: gradient and composite underbands combined with hinged connections eliminate marks.

[0017] Traditional structure: The bottom of the bra cup is rigidly pulled, causing the underwire to shift; This structure: The curved connector rotates to release stress, improving the fit of the underwire and ensuring that the underwire always adheres to the underbust.

[0018] Pressure transmission optimization: The force on the underbelly is distributed to the cup through the arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped connector, reducing the pressure at a single point.

[0019] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the underband and the heart-shaped part are heat-pressed or bonded together. The width of the top end of the underband is 15mm, and the width of the bottom end is 10mm. The width gradually narrows from the top end to the bottom end of the underband to match the curvature of the human lower chest.

[0020] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the inner support is sewn to the bra cup, and the inner support is specifically a C-shaped cotton padding.

[0021] Preferably, the arc-shaped connector is a 0.8mm thick TPU sheet, and the center of the arc-shaped connector has several 3mm diameter ventilation holes.

[0022] Structural components: Cups: Built-in underwire support structure; Shoulder straps: Connect the upper corners of the cups to the top of the back straps; Back straps: Hooks at the ends, wrapping around the back; Center gore: Sewed between the two cups, with the top of the triangle area connected to the underband; Underband: Inner layer: 3mm wide, high-elasticity silicone strip (hardness 30 Shore A), conforming to the curve of the lower bust; Outer layer: Elastic moisture-wicking mesh fabric with embossed corrugated grooves on the surface; Gradual narrowing: The underband is 15mm wide at the top and then narrows to 10mm at the bottom.

[0023] Inner support: C-shaped memory foam padding, sewn to the inner edge of the cup; Arc-shaped patch: Material: 0.8mm thick TPU sheet (tensile strength > 20MPa) Structure: The upper end is heat-fused to the inner bottom of the cup, and the lower end wraps around the top of the underband; Openings: 3mm diameter ventilation holes in the center array.

[0024] Preferably, of any of the above solutions, the inner layer is a 3mm wide and high elastic silicone strip that conforms to the curve of the rib; the outer layer is specifically an elastic mesh fabric layer with moisture-wicking grooves embossed on the surface.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0026] This bra's support component features a double-layer gradient structure in the underband. The inner layer consists of a 3mm wide and high elastic silicone strip that conforms to the curve of the ribs; the outer layer is an elastic mesh cover with embossed moisture-wicking grooves on the surface.

[0027] Special design: The top of the underband is 15mm wide and the bottom is 10mm wide. The width gradually narrows from the top to the bottom of the underband to match the curvature of the human lower chest.

[0028] Meanwhile, the underband and the bra cup are connected by an arc-shaped connector. The arc-shaped connector is a TPU material sheet. Its upper end is heat-fused to the inner bottom of the bra cup, and its lower end wraps around the top of the underband to form a hinged connection.

[0029] Effects: Dynamic fit; as the ribs expand during breathing, the silicone inner layer stretches, and the curved connector rotates at the hinge point, preventing the bottom of the cup from lifting up; achieving zero-restraint support: the gradient and composite underband, combined with the hinged connection, eliminates marks. The rotation of the curved connector releases stress, improving the fit of the bra wire and ensuring it always adheres to the underbust. Optimized pressure transmission: when the underband is under pressure, the pressure is distributed to the cups through the curved surface of the curved connector, reducing pressure at a single point and making it more comfortable and less constricting.

[0040] A gore 4 is fixedly connected between the cups 1, and a bottom band 5 is connected to the bottom of the cups 1. The top of the bottom band 5 is fixed in the gore 4.

[0041] An inner support 6 is fixedly connected to the edge of the inner surface of the cup 1, and an arc-shaped piece 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cup 1. The upper end of the arc-shaped piece 7 is heat-fused to the inner side of the bottom of the cup 1, and the lower end of the arc-shaped piece 7 wraps around the top of the underband 5 to form a hinged connection.

[0042] The underside strip 5 is divided into two layers: an inner layer 8 and an outer layer 9. The outer layer 9 is wrapped around the outer surface of the inner layer 8.

[0043] Example 1: The cup 1 is sewn together with the shoulder straps 2 and back straps 3. The cup 1 is also sewn together with the center gore 4. The underband 5 is heat-pressed or bonded to the center gore 4. The width of the underband 5 is 15mm at the top and 10mm at the bottom, gradually narrowing from the top to the bottom to match the curvature of the lower bust. The inner support 6 is sewn together with the cup 1 and is specifically a C-shaped cotton padding. The curved panel 7 is a 0.8mm thick TPU sheet with several 3mm diameter ventilation holes in the center. The inner layer 8 is a 3mm wide and high elastic silicone strip that conforms to the rib curve; the outer layer 9 is specifically an elastic mesh layer with moisture-wicking grooves embossed on the surface.

[0044] Example 2: Structural composition: Cup 1: Built-in underwire support structure; Shoulder strap 2: Connects the upper corner of cup 1 to the top of back strap 3; Back strap 3: With hooks at the ends, wraps around the back of the body; Gore 4: Sewed between the two cups 1, with the top of the triangle area connected to the underband 5; Underband 5: Inner layer 8: 3mm wide high elastic silicone strip (hardness 30 Shore A), conforming to the curvature of the lower bust; Outer layer 9: Elastic moisture-wicking mesh fabric, with embossed corrugated grooves on the surface; Gradual narrowing: The top of the underband 5 is 15mm wide and then its bottom narrows to 10mm.

[0045] Inner support 6: C-shaped memory foam padding, sewn to the inner edge of cup 1; Arc-shaped patch 7: Material: 0.8mm thick TPU sheet (tensile strength > 20MPa) Structure: The upper end is heat-fused to the inner bottom of cup 1, and the lower end wraps around the top of the underband 5; Opening: 3mm diameter ventilation holes in the center array.

[0046] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0047] Processing steps: Step 1: Pre-form the lower strip 5, cut a trapezoidal silicone strip as the inner layer 8; wrap the inner layer 8 with elastic mesh (outer layer 9), and then hot-press it at 130℃.

[0048] Step 2: Assemble the arc-shaped connector 7. Place the TPU sheet in the mold and heat-press it into a 120° arc shape. Apply hot melt adhesive to the upper end and press it to the inner bottom of the cup 1 at 180° (pressing time 3-5 seconds). Wrap the lower end around the top of the underband 5 and fix it with high-frequency welding at 200°.

[0049] Step 3: Assemble the whole assembly. The bottom end of the lower strip 5 is hot-pressed to the heart 4 (temperature 150℃). The extension of the inner support 6 covers the seam area of ​​the arc-shaped piece 7 and is reinforced by sewing.

[0050] Dynamic stress release: When the human body breathes or moves: the ribs expand, the silicone inner layer 8 stretches by 8-12%, and the underband 5 extends as a whole; the arc-shaped connector 7 rotates 5°-8° around the joint point as the axis, eliminating the hard pulling at the bottom of the cup 1; effect: the underwire fit rate is increased by 40%, preventing the underwire from floating.

[0051] Pressure dispersion mechanism: When the underband 5 is under tension: the force is transmitted to the arc-shaped connector 7 and dispersed to the entire bottom edge of the cup 1 through the 120° arc surface; the silicone inner layer 8 deforms elastically, and the pressure peak drops from 0.38kPa to 0.15kPa; in comparison: the pressure concentration area at the traditional seam is >3 times.

[0052] The design combines breathability and moisture wicking with heat generation during movement. Moisture is wicked away through the outer layer's nine moisture-wicking channels, and airflow forms a micro-circulation through the breathable holes, reducing the temperature rise by 2.3℃.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0054] This bra's support component features a double-layer gradient structure in the underband. The inner layer consists of a 3mm wide and high elastic silicone strip that conforms to the curve of the ribcage; the outer layer is an elastic mesh cover with embossed moisture-wicking grooves on the surface.

[0055] Special design: The top of the underband 5 is 15mm wide and the bottom is 10mm wide. The width gradually narrows from the top to the bottom of the underband 5 to match the curvature of the human lower chest.

[0056] Meanwhile, the underband 5 and the cup 1 are connected by an arc-shaped connector 7. The arc-shaped connector 7 is a TPU material sheet. Its upper end is heat-fused to the inner bottom of the cup 1, and its lower end wraps around the top of the underband 5 to form a hinged connection.

[0057] Effects: Dynamic fit; as the ribs expand during breathing, the silicone inner layer 8 stretches, and the curved connector 7 rotates at the hinge point, preventing the bottom of the cup 1 from lifting up; achieving zero-restraint support: the gradient and composite underband 5, combined with the hinged connection, eliminates marks. The rotation of the curved connector 7 releases stress, improving the fit of the bra underwire and ensuring it always adheres to the underbust. Optimized pressure transmission: when the underband 5 is under pressure, it is distributed to the cup 1 through the curved surface of the curved connector 7, reducing single-point pressure and making it more comfortable and non-compression-free.
