Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underwear technology, and in particular to a push-up bra. Background Technology

[0002] As a daily necessity for women, the core functions of a bra are to provide support, shape the breasts, and ensure comfort. Women with small breasts face specific challenges when choosing a bra: on the one hand, they desire a more attractive cleavage and fuller bust (i.e., a push-up effect); on the other hand, they often experience discomfort due to the stiff cups and excessive pressure of traditional push-up bras. Current technologies typically address the push-up issue for small breasts by employing the following methods:

[0003] Thick padding: This method visually increases breast volume by using built-in sponge or water-filled pads. However, this method often looks unnatural, has poor lifting effect, and the pads may shift, cause stuffiness, and affect comfort.

[0004] Reinforced underwire and side-pushing design: This method uses a rigid underwire and special cup design to gather breast fat towards the center. However, this method has limited effectiveness for women with small breasts who already have less breast fat, and the rigid underwire can compress the chest cavity and cause pain if worn for extended periods.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies urgently need improvement. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a push-up bra to solve the problems of poor push-up effect of traditional bras and inability to simultaneously accommodate accessory breast tissue and ensure breathability.

[0007] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0008] A push-up bra includes two cups, shoulder straps, and side panels connected to the cups. It also includes an adjustment mechanism located at the center gore of the front of the bra. The adjustment mechanism includes a linearly movable pulling component and a guide structure for guiding the movement of the pulling component. The distance between the two cups can be adjusted by linearly moving the pulling component, thereby bringing the two cups together. A breast support portion is provided on the upper front side of the side panel. The breast support portion extends upward from the side panel, and its upper edge is adjacent to or connected to the shoulder strap. The area between the breast support portion and the cups forms a hollow structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism is a zipper with an upper stop point and a lower stop point. The lower stop point of the zipper is located below the center gore of the bra, and the upper stop point of the zipper extends along the vertical center line of the bra to a position no lower than the midpoint of the cup height.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper stop of the zipper extends to a position flush with or close to the upper edge of the bra cup.

[0011] Furthermore, the top stop of the zipper is located in the area between the midpoint and two-thirds of the height of the cup connection.

[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism is a pull cord, the adjustment end of which passes through a guide hole located at the center of the front part of the bra cup to adjust the distance between the two cups by pulling the adjustment end.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the two cups has multiple loop holes on its adjacent edges. The pull cord passes through the loop holes in the form of a crisscross strap and then exits through the guide hole. The adjusting end of the pull cord is provided with an adjusting buckle.

[0014] Furthermore, the hollow structure between the accessory breast restraint part and the bra cup is a completely through opening.

[0015] Furthermore, the accessory breast restraint portion and the side panel portion are integrally molded structures. Further, it also includes an integrally molded support frame, wherein the support frame is made of shape memory alloy and is embedded in the periphery of the bra cup and the center gore position at the front, wherein the support frame is configured to adaptively conform to the body contour in response to the wearer's body temperature to provide continuous support.

[0016] Furthermore, the shape memory alloy is a nickel-titanium alloy.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include at least the following:

[0018] This bra's design utilizes an adjustment mechanism at the center gore to directly target the cleavage area. A linearly movable traction component adjusts the distance between the two cups, achieving a rapid gathering effect. Simultaneously, the combination of a perforated structure and a support for the underarm fat optimizes breathability while maintaining fat containment. The adjustment mechanism allows for real-time adjustment of the distance between the two cups to achieve varying degrees of gathering, offering high flexibility. The support for the underarm fat effectively guides fat repositioning, and the perforated structure reduces stuffiness. While maintaining the shaping effect, it significantly improves wearing comfort and breathability, solving the problems of poor gathering effect and the inability to simultaneously address underarm fat containment and breathability in traditional bras.

[0027] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted.

[0028] The terms used to describe position and direction in this utility model are illustrated with the accompanying drawings, but changes can be made as needed, and all such changes are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a push-up bra, including two cups 1, shoulder straps 2, and side panels 3 connected to the cups. It also includes an adjustment mechanism 5 located at the center gore of the front of the bra. The adjustment mechanism 5 includes a linearly movable pulling component and a guide structure for guiding the movement of the pulling component. By linearly moving the pulling component, the distance between the two cups 1 can be adjusted, thereby bringing the two cups together towards each other. The upper front side of the side panel 3 is provided with a breast support portion 6. The breast support portion 6 extends upward from the side panel 3 and its upper edge is adjacent to or connected to the shoulder straps 2. The area between the breast support portion 6 and the cups 1 forms a hollow structure.

[0030] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 5 is located at the center gore of the bra. Specifically, it can be implemented using a pull cord with guide holes 11 or a zipper structure with upper and lower stops. The distance between the two cups can be adjusted by linearly moving the pulling component, allowing the wearer to flexibly adjust the gathering effect according to their needs. The side panel 3 is equipped with an upwardly extending accessory breast restraint part 6. Through its upwardly extending cut design, it guides underarm fat towards the cup 1, effectively gathering underarm fat and improving the shaping effect. At the same time, the hollow structure reduces and enhances breathability, solving the problem of stuffiness associated with traditional fully enclosed side panels.

[0031] This invention utilizes an adjustment mechanism 5 at the center gore position to directly act on the cleavage-forming area. A linearly moving traction component adjusts the distance between the two cups 1, achieving a rapid gathering effect. Simultaneously, the combination of a hollow structure and a supportive breast restraint part 6 optimizes breathability while ensuring fat containment. The adjustment mechanism 5 can adjust the distance between the two cups 1 in real time according to wearing needs to achieve different degrees of gathering, offering high flexibility. The supportive breast restraint part 6 effectively guides fat repositioning, and the hollow structure reduces stuffiness. While maintaining the shaping effect, it significantly improves wearing comfort and breathability, solving the problems of poor gathering effect and inability to simultaneously address supportive breast and breathability issues common in traditional bras.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 5 is a zipper with an upper stop point and a lower stop point. The lower stop point of the zipper is located below the center gore of the bra, and the upper stop point of the zipper extends along the vertical center line of the bra to a position no lower than the midpoint of the cup height 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 5 is defined as a zipper. The opening and closing of the zipper achieves the gathering effect of the two cups 1. The lower stop point of the zipper is placed below the center gore, allowing the adjustment mechanism 5 to effectively constrain the bottom of the bra, preventing excessive loosening of the lower part after the zipper is closed, which would lead to a decrease in support. Extending the upper stop point above the midpoint of the cup 1 significantly expands the longitudinal adjustment range of the zipper, allowing the wearer to precisely control the tightness of the upper edge of the cup 1 by adjusting the degree of zipper opening and closing. This avoids the insufficient gathering effect caused by only covering the lower part of the cup 1 in traditional designs, and also prevents pressure on the underarm area caused by an excessively high upper stop point. The positioning of the upper and lower stop points of the zipper controls the compression range of the front area of ​​the bra. The coordinated positioning of the upper and lower stop points allows the zipper to form a continuously adjustable closing path in the vertical center line direction, ensuring that the pressure is evenly distributed along the curve of the human body during the breast shaping process.

[0034] It is understandable that when the adjusting mechanism 5 is a zipper, the pulling component is the zipper head, and the guiding structure is the zipper teeth.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the upper stop of the zipper extends to a position flush with or close to the upper edge of the bra cup 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, reference Figure 1 By raising the top stop of the zipper to the height of the upper edge of cup 1, the adjustment range of the zipper can cover the upper half of cup 1. This design allows the wearer to precisely control the coverage of the upper edge of cup 1 when manually adjusting the zipper, thus more effectively gathering the breast tissue towards the center. When the top stop of the zipper is level with the upper edge of cup 1, the adjustment action directly affects the coverage of the top of cup 1 on the breast, avoiding the problem of insufficient distribution of gathering force caused by the zipper adjustment only acting on the lower half of cup 1 in traditional designs. The position close to the upper edge of cup 1 also ensures that a continuous pressure distribution zone is formed when the zipper is closed, which enhances the gathering effect and prevents marks caused by excessive local pressure.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the top stop of the zipper is located in the area between the midpoint and two-thirds of the height of the connection point of the bra cup 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 By limiting the top stop of the zipper to the area between the midpoint and two-thirds of the height of the connection point of cup 1, precise control over the adjustment range and support strength of the front of the bra is achieved. This position avoids the problem of an excessively high top stop resulting in a short adjustment range and ineffective breast shaping, while also preventing excessive pressure on the chest cavity from the adjustment mechanism 5 due to an excessively low top stop. The midpoint to two-thirds position ensures that the zipper's extension length in the vertical center line is sufficient to cover the main fat distribution area of ​​the breast, allowing the adjustment mechanism 5 to apply centripetal force evenly when tightening, improving the gathering effect while avoiding excessive local pressure. This position also takes into account the adaptability of different cup 1 sizes, allowing the adjustment mechanism 5 to effectively shape small and medium cup 1 bras without affecting the connection stability between the shoulder strap 2 and cup 1 due to excessive extension.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 5 is a pull cord, the adjustment end of which passes through the guide hole 11 located at the center of the cup, so as to adjust the distance between the two cups 1 by pulling the adjustment end.

[0040] In this embodiment, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6By limiting the adjustment mechanism 5 to a pull cord, when the cord is pulled, it tightens the gap between the cups 1 through the guide hole 11, directly enhancing the gathering effect. By passing the adjusting end of the cord through the guide hole 11 at the center gore position, the pulling action directly acts on the key mechanical point in the center of the front of the bra. The guide hole 11 constrains the cord path, ensuring the pulling force is transmitted in the predetermined direction. By manually pulling the adjusting end, users can precisely control the tightness of the center gore area, enhancing the gathering effect according to individual needs while avoiding the pressure on the chest cavity caused by traditional rigid adjustment mechanisms 5. The guide hole 11 is positioned at the center of the front gore, concentrating the adjustment force on the middle area of ​​the chest, ensuring effective gathering of the breast tissue while dispersing pressure through the flexible cord structure to prevent excessive local pressure. Compared to a fixed structure, the pull-out adjustment method allows for dynamic adjustment of the tightness, adapting to different body types and wearing conditions.

[0041] It is understandable that when the adjustment mechanism 5 is a pull rope, the pulling component is the rope end and the guide structure is the rope hole.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, each of the two cups 1 has a plurality of cord holes 12 on its adjacent edges. The cord passes through the cord holes 12 in the form of a crisscross strap and then exits through the guide hole 11. The adjusting end of the cord is provided with an adjusting buckle 7.

[0043] In this embodiment, reference Figure 7 By setting multiple loop holes 12 on the adjacent edges of the two cups 1, multiple threading paths are provided for the pull cords, forming a cross-strap structure. This cross-layout distributes the adjustment force evenly across the edges of the cups 1, preventing excessive local pressure. The design of the pull cords passing through the loop holes 12 and then exiting through the guide holes 11 ensures the stability of the pull cord's movement trajectory and concentrates the adjustment end in the front center for easy operation. The adjustment buckle 7 allows users to precisely control the tightness of the cross-straps through pulling motions, thereby dynamically adjusting the cup 1's coverage and gathering effect on the chest. Compared to single-line straps, the cross-strap design creates a centripetal constriction force, improving the gathering effect while reducing pressure on the chest cavity through multi-point force distribution, thus balancing shaping needs with wearing comfort.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the hollow structure between the accessory breast restraint part 6 and the bra cup 1 is a completely through opening.

[0045] In this embodiment, by setting the area between the accessory breast restraint part 6 and the cup 1 as a completely open structure, this open design releases the pressure on the underarm area from the traditional closed side structure through the open space, while utilizing the fabric tension at the edge of the opening to form a flexible restraint on the accessory breast tissue. The completely open feature avoids friction and discomfort caused by local fabric accumulation, and its boundary contour can guide the accessory breast fat to naturally converge into the cavity of the receiving part. Combined with the deformation capability of the support frame 4, dynamic fit is achieved while ensuring support stability.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the accessory breast restraint part 6 and the side brace part 3 are integrally formed.

[0047] In this embodiment, by designing the accessory breast restraint part 6 and the side panel part 3 as a one-piece molded structure, the seams of the traditional separate structure are eliminated, thereby reducing friction and irritation to the skin and improving wearing comfort. This structure is achieved through an integral molding process, avoiding the stitching process required for splicing separate parts, reducing processing complexity and cost. At the same time, the one-piece structure enhances the mechanical continuity between the side panel part 3 and the accessory breast restraint part 6, allowing the side panel part 3 to evenly transmit stress when subjected to wearing tension, preventing local deformation or breakage, and ensuring continuous and stable coverage of the accessory breast area. In addition, the one-piece molding avoids relative displacement of separate parts due to long-term use, maintaining the integrity and lifespan of the bra structure.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment, the bra also includes an integrally molded support frame 4, wherein the support frame 4 is made of shape memory alloy and is embedded in the periphery of the cup 1 of the bra and the center gore position at the front. The support frame 4 is configured to adaptively conform to the body contour in response to the wearer's body temperature to provide continuous support.

[0049] In this embodiment, the support frame 4 is made of shape memory alloy and is embedded in the edge of the cup 1 and the center gore. Utilizing the shape memory alloy's response to body temperature, when it comes into contact with human skin, the shape memory alloy undergoes a phase change triggered by body temperature, and the support frame 4 gradually bends to form a support curve that matches the shape of the breast, thereby dynamically conforming to the contours of the human body. This dynamic adjustment process avoids the fixed pressure of traditional underwires and can continuously provide uniform support to maintain breast shape stability. It achieves the dual function of dynamic adjustment and manual adjustment of support force, solving the problems of discomfort caused by rigid materials in traditional bras when providing a push-up effect, and the inability of support force to dynamically adjust with the body's state.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the shape memory alloy is a nickel-titanium alloy.

[0051] In this embodiment, the nickel-titanium alloy possesses unique shape memory effect and superelastic properties, and its phase transformation temperature can be precisely controlled to a range close to human body temperature through alloy proportioning. When the nickel-titanium alloy frame embedded in the edge of the bra cup 1 comes into contact with the human body, body temperature triggers its phase transformation process, causing the alloy to transform from martensite to austenite, generating a restoring force of the pre-stored shape, thereby actively conforming to the breast contour. Compared to ordinary steel wire or plastic support components, the nickel-titanium alloy provides sufficient support strength while achieving millimeter-level deformation accuracy through temperature response. This avoids the compression of the chest cavity by traditional rigid materials and overcomes the deficiency of insufficient support force in elastic materials, achieving a dynamic balance of support force with changes in body temperature.

Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and all such changes should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
