Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Bra cups are a core component of bras, directly affecting comfort, support, and aesthetics. Their design, materials, and structure vary depending on functional needs (such as shaping, sports, and seamlessness). The main functions of bra cups include supporting the breasts, shaping and modifying their appearance, providing comfort and breathability, and concealing nipples.

[0003] In existing technologies, bra cups are primarily supported by underwires. Underwires are divided into rigid and flexible types. Rigid underwires offer higher strength and better shaping, but their comfort needs improvement. Flexible underwires balance shaping and comfort, making them more versatile. However, flexible underwires only support the cup from the bottom, resulting in poor fit between the outer edge of the underwire and the lower part of the bra against the body. This causes concentrated pressure on the user's body, easily creating marks at the underwire location and affecting the user experience. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved support component for bra cups. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a support component for bra cups to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of the present invention provides a support component for a bra cup, including an upper push-up portion, a lower support portion, and a side push-up portion. The upper push-up portion is disposed below the bra cup, the lower support portion is disposed at the lower part of the bra body, and the side push-up portion is disposed on the outer side of the bra cup. A connecting portion is provided between the lower support portion, the side push-up portion, and the upper push-up portion. A lower support steel ring is disposed inside the lower support portion, a side push-up steel ring is disposed inside the side push-up portion, and an upper push-up steel ring is disposed inside the upper push-up portion. A tie strip connecting the lower support steel ring and the upper push-up steel ring is disposed inside the connecting portion, and a connecting strip is provided between the upper push-up steel ring and the side push-up steel ring.

[0007] Preferably, of any of the above solutions, the upward push portion adopts an arc-shaped structure adapted to the shape of the bra cup, and the lower support portion is provided along the bottom edge of the bra body.

[0008] The above technical solution utilizes the following: the main body of the bra provides an installation platform for related components. The cups support and shape the breasts. It should be noted that the cups should be made of breathable material to improve comfort. The connecting back straps and shoulder straps allow the user to secure the main body of the bra. The upward push section applies force to the cups, assisting in supporting the weight of the breasts. Its curved structure, adapted to the shape of the cups, provides better support.

[0009] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the lower support is disposed between the two side push parts, and the side push part includes a receiving strip near the cup side and a side push band disposed outside the receiving strip.

[0010] The above technical solution employs a design where the lower support section, along with the side push section and the upper push section, forms the adaptation area of ​​the bra body and provides installation space for components such as the lower support underwire. The lower support section is positioned between the two side push sections, facilitating the connection between the lower support underwire and the side push underwire. The receiving strip of the side push section provides housing space for the side push underwire, and its side push band assists the side push underwire in providing lateral restraint, locking in flowing fat and enhancing the lateral restraint effect.

[0011] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the lower support steel ring, the side push steel ring, and the upper push steel ring are all made of nickel-titanium memory steel ring, and a protective layer is provided on the outer side of the nickel-titanium memory steel ring.

[0012] Using the above technical solution, the nickel-titanium memory steel wire can be pre-set to a shape (such as the arc of the wire), and it returns to its original shape at body temperature, providing stable support and adapting to different body types. Nickel-titanium memory steel wire is more resistant to bending than traditional wire, and it can automatically recover its shape after exercise or pressure, reducing the risk of breakage. Furthermore, its density is lower than stainless steel, reducing the weight of the bra, decreasing pressure, and improving wearing comfort, making it especially suitable for sports bras. A protective layer, which can be made of cotton material, is added to the outside of the nickel-titanium memory steel wire to prevent direct contact with the skin and avoid skin allergies.

[0013] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the lower support steel ring is fixedly connected to the end of the side push steel ring, and there are two tie bars, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the lower part of the upper push steel ring.

[0014] The above technical solution employs a combination of lower and side-pushing underwires to assist the upper underwire in maintaining the shape of the bra, adapting to the human body structure, and ensuring the bra fits snugly against the user's body. This transforms the user's body from bearing linear loads to bearing surface loads, reducing stress concentration and resulting in a superior user experience. A connecting strip links the upper and lower underwires, creating a connection and enhancing overall integrity.

[0015] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the bottom end of one of the tie bars is connected to the connection between the lower support steel ring and the side push steel ring, and both the connecting bar and the tie bar are made of nickel-titanium memory steel.

[0016] The above technical solution utilizes a connecting strip to link the side-pushing steel ring and the upper-pushing steel ring. Combined with a tie strip, this forms a unified structure with stronger overall integrity and superior restraint. Both the connecting strip and the tie strip are made of nickel-titanium memory steel, which adapts to the user's body curves, offering greater adaptability.

[0017] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the connecting strip is disposed at the top of the upper push steel ring and the side push steel ring, and the adjacent ends of the two upper push steel rings are connected by a connecting strip.

[0018] The above technical solution employs a connecting strip positioned at the top of both the upper and side-push steel rings, constraining them from the top and resulting in a superior bonding effect. A connecting strip is also installed between the two upper push steel rings, connecting them together for an even better overall effect.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. This bra cup support component, through the design of an upper push section, lower support section, side push section, connecting section, lower support underwire, upper push underwire, and side push underwire, applies a pushing force to the bra cup, assisting in supporting the weight of the breasts. The lower support section, together with the side push section and upper push section, forms the adaptation area of ​​the bra body and provides installation space for components such as the lower support underwire. Under the pulling force of the connecting back straps and shoulder straps, the lower push section, lower support section, side push section, and connecting section adhere to the body, thus transforming the user's body from bearing linear loads to bearing surface loads, reducing stress concentration and resulting in a superior user experience.

[0021] 2. This bra cup support component uses a connecting strip to connect the side push-up underwires and the top push-up underwires. Combined with a tie strip, it integrates the side push-up underwires, top push-up underwires, and bottom support underwires into a single unit, resulting in stronger overall integrity and superior restraint.

[0030] Example 1: The upper push-up part 5 adopts an arc-shaped structure adapted to the shape of the cup 2, and the lower support part 6 is set along the bottom edge of the bra body 1. The bra body 1 provides an installation platform for related components. The cup 2 supports the breasts and shapes and modifies them. It should be noted that the cup 2 should be made of breathable material to improve comfort. The connecting back strap 3 and connecting shoulder strap 4 are used by the user to wear and fix the bra body 1. The upper push-up part 5 applies a pushing force to the cup 2 to assist the cup 2 in supporting the weight of the breasts. Its arc-shaped structure adapted to the shape of the cup 2 can better assist the cup 2 in providing support. The lower support part 6 is set between the two side push-up parts 7.

Both the connecting bar 13 and the tie bar 12 are made of nickel-titanium memory steel. The connecting bar 13 connects the side push steel ring 11 and the upper push steel ring 10, and together with the tie bar 12, the side push steel ring 11, the upper push steel ring 10, and the lower support steel ring 9 form a whole, resulting in stronger integrity and better constraint. Both the connecting bar 13 and the tie bar 12 are made of nickel-titanium memory steel, which can adapt to the user's body curves, making them more adaptable. The connecting bar 13 is set at the top of the upper push steel ring 10 and the side push steel ring 11, and the adjacent ends of the two upper push steel rings 10 are connected by the connecting bar. The connecting bar 13 is set at the top of the upper push steel ring 10 and the side push steel ring 11, constraining them from the top, resulting in a better connection effect. A connecting bar is set between the two upper push steel rings 10, connecting the two upper push steel rings 10 together, resulting in a better overall effect.
