Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of women's underwear (bra) technology, specifically focusing on the design and development of vest bras. Background Technology

[0002] As women age, their bodies undergo significant changes. After the age of 30, subcutaneous fat gradually accumulates, breast tissue softens, and the tendency for sagging and spreading to the sides becomes increasingly apparent. Against this backdrop, bras, as an important garment worn daily by women, not only need to conform to these changes in the body but also need to support the breasts, facilitate movement, and shape a beautiful bust line, satisfying women's dual pursuit of beauty and comfort. The current bra market offers a wide variety of products and styles. These include: regular bras with side straps extending from the front panel and fastening at the back; vest-style bras that integrate the vest and bra; and front-closure bras. Vest-style bras, because they are integrated, offer less restriction and freedom of movement. Furthermore, when the lower edge of the cups is not underwired, they are less likely to leave marks after prolonged wear, making them comfortable to wear and sometimes even used as loungewear. However, existing vest-style bras have some drawbacks in terms of design and wearability. For example, because existing vest-style bras are an integrated structure of vest and bra, wearing them requires inserting the head and arms into the tubular bra body, just like putting on a vest. Then, while using the arms to open the bra body, the head is inserted through the holes between the left and right shoulder straps, and the arms are then inserted into the armholes. If this type of vest-style bra lacks sufficient elasticity in the direction of opening the bra body (lateral), it is difficult to insert the upper body into the bra body, making it inconvenient to wear.

[0003] In addition, as mentioned earlier, existing vest-style bras are sometimes used as casual home wear, lacking effective support (breast lift) and shaping function (the function of gathering and lifting the breasts together to create cleavage), making it difficult to simultaneously meet the needs of both comfort (wearability) and functionality (breast lift).

[0004] In addition, existing vest-style bra designs are as simple as ordinary vests, lacking embellishments such as lace on the chest area, resulting in an unattractive appearance. Furthermore, bras are typically made of multiple parts sewn together, with the seams visible on the outer garment, which also affects the overall look.

[0005] This utility model was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a vest-style bra that, through its unique design and structure, combines the convenience of wearing, good elasticity, and beautiful appearance (such as fully fitted lace), and has effective support and shaping functions, thereby simultaneously meeting the needs of comfort, functionality and aesthetic design. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vest bra to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a bra body 1 comprising a tubular torso 2 and a pair of left and right shoulder strap portions 5 extending from the upper edge of the torso 2 and from the front side to the back side of the torso 2. Lace component 4 covers the breast portion of the bra body 1 on the left and right sides and is installed on the surface of the bra body 1 in a manner that extends to the shoulder strap portion 5; The peripheral portion 4d of the lace component 4 is bonded to the chest portion of the bra body 1, forming an adhesive layer 4e for a storage space K between the chest portion and the lace component 4. The padding 3, which is housed within the storage space K and forms the bowl-shaped cup portion, is stored in the storage space K. The front base component 9 extends from one side of the bra body 1 to the other side of the bra body 1 and is bonded to the lower front edge 1k portion of the bra body 1.

[0008] Further design optimization: The elasticity of the lace component 4 along the longitudinal T from the chest portion of the bra body 1 toward the shoulder strap portion 5 is the same as the elasticity of the longitudinal T of the bra body 1, or it is made of a more elastic and stretchable fabric.

[0009] It has a dividing part 31, which fixes the center part between the left and right lace parts 4 to the center part between the left and right breast parts of the bra body 1, including glue bonding, sewing and splicing fixing methods, or it can be molded as a whole piece of lace fabric, and divides the storage space K into left and right.

[0010] On both sides of the partition 31, openings 35 are provided on the bra body 1 for inserting and removing the padding 3.

[0011] The elasticity of the fabric constituting the bra body 1 satisfies the following: the longitudinal elasticity T from the lower edge 1k of the bra body 1 toward the shoulder strap 5 is the same as the transverse elasticity Y from one side of the body 6 toward the other side of the body 6, or the transverse elasticity Y is greater than the longitudinal elasticity T and is easier to stretch.

[0012] A support strip 7 is further bonded to the front side of the front portion 5a of the shoulder strap portion 5 and the front side of the arc portion 1t along the armhole 1s of the bra body 1.

[0013] In the support strip 7, the stretchability along the arc portion 1t of the armhole 1s and the length direction N toward the shoulder strap portion 5 is the same as the stretchability of the bra body in the same direction N, or it is made of a fabric with less stretchability and less tendency to stretch.

[0014] The stretchability of the front base component 9 in the lateral Y direction from one side of the body 6 to the other side of the body 6 is the same as the stretchability of the bra body 1 in the lateral Y direction, or it is less stretchable and less prone to stretching.

[0015] The shoulder strap portion 5 is composed of a front portion 5a extending from the front side of the bra body 1 and a back portion 5b extending from the back side. The connecting portion 5c of the front portion 5a and the back portion 5b is connected by adhesive on the back side above the wearer's shoulder.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: In the vest bra of this utility model, since the storage space K between the bra body 1 and the lace part 4 is provided with a pad 3 that forms a bowl-shaped cup, when worn, the shoulder strap part 5 lifts the front part (front piece 11) of the bra body 1, and the lace part 4 extending to the shoulder strap part 5, together with the breasts stored in the pad 3, lifts the pad 3 of the breast part, thereby achieving breast lifting. The front base component 9 is attached to the lower edge 1k of the front side (front piece 11) of the bra body 1, so that the breasts can be supported from below even without elastic bands, enhancing the breast lifting effect. The padding 3 forms a bowl-shaped cup within the storage space K. It can move relative to the bra body 1 and the lace component 4, easily adapting to the position, size, and movement of the wearer's breasts, greatly improving wearing comfort. The entire structure is bonded, avoiding the impact of traditional bra seams on appearance and enhancing the aesthetics when worn. When the longitudinal T-elasticity of the lace component 4 from the bust portion to the shoulder strap portion 5 is the same as the longitudinal T-elasticity of the bra body 1, the lace component 4 wraps around the entire padding 3 and gently lifts it upwards together with the bust, making the bust rounder more aesthetically pleasing; if the longitudinal T-elasticity of the lace component 4 is made of a fabric that is stronger and less prone to stretching than the longitudinal T-elasticity of the bra body 1, the lifting force of the entire padding 3 is greater, and the bust lifting effect is better. The storage space K is divided into left and right sections by a partition 31, and the left and right pads 3 can be installed independently in the left and right divided storage spaces K. On both sides of the divider 31, the bra body 1 is provided with left and right openings 35 for inserting and removing the pads 3. The left and right independent pads 3 can be installed in the left and right separated storage space K, or a one-piece pad 3 with the left and right pads connected can be installed. Regarding the elasticity of the bra body 1, since the vertical length T from the lower edge 1k to the shoulder strap 5 is the same as the horizontal length Y from one side of the body 6 to the other side of the body 6, it is easier to increase the opening diameter of the bra body 1, improving wearability. When the horizontal length Y is larger than the vertical length T and stretches more easily, the torso 2 can stretch more easily in the horizontal length Y when wearing the bra, making it easier to increase the opening diameter and allowing the upper body to be put into the bra body 1. In addition, the traditional hard cup integrated with the breasts on the bra body is eliminated. Instead, a freely movable pad 3 is inserted into the storage space K to act as a "cup," which does not affect the elasticity of the bra body 1 and the lace component 4, making it convenient to wear. Support strips 7 are attached to the front part 5a of the shoulder strap 5 and the front side of the arcuate part 1t of the armhole 1s of the bra body 1. When wearing the bra, the shoulder strap 5 is pulled up, and the arcuate part 1t of the armhole 1s is simultaneously pulled up by the support strips 7 towards the front part 5a of the shoulder strap 5 (diagonally upward N). The front side of the bra body 1 (front panel 11) near the side of the body 6 is pulled closer to the padding, thus achieving a breast-gathering effect. The support strip 7 has the same longitudinal N elasticity in the shoulder strap portion 5 as the bra body in the same direction N as the armhole 1s, forming a double-layer structure of support strip 7 and bra body 1, which makes it easier to pull underarm fat closer; if it is made of a fabric with less elasticity and less stretching, the above-mentioned pulling effect can be further improved. The lateral Y-elasticity of the front base component 9 is the same as that of the bra body 1, forming a double-layer structure. When worn, tension can be applied near the wearer's bust line, and even without elastic bands, the padding 3 that houses the breasts can be effectively supported from below. When the lateral Y-elasticity of the front base component 9 is smaller and less prone to stretching, the above-mentioned breast support effect can be further enhanced. The connecting part 5c of the shoulder strap 5 is glued to the back side above the wearer's shoulder. The connecting part 5c will not appear on the wearer's shoulder. Even if you wear other clothes over this vest bra, the seams will not affect the appearance like traditional bras. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Types of bras include: for example, ordinary bras with underwire cups and a back panel extending from the front panel and connected by fasteners; wire-free bras without underwire cups; sports bras to prevent breast movement during exercise; sleep bras to prevent breast deformation during sleep; vest-style bras that integrate the vest and bra, etc., with different designs for each type. Furthermore, cups are classified by shape into full-cup, 3 / 4-cup, and half-cup types, and additional padding can be placed inside the cups when necessary. Padding comes in various types, such as a pair of round pads, lemon half-pieces, and one-piece shapes, and in various thicknesses, such as thicker pads at the center and periphery, with a thicker pad at the bottom edge.

[0020] The bra of this utility model belongs to the vest-style bra, which consists of a bra body 1, a lace component 4 with the periphery 4d bonded to the outer surface of the bra body 1, a pair of left and right bowl-shaped pads 3 installed in the storage space K between the bra body 1 and the lace component 4, and a front base component 9 bonded to the lower edge 1k of the front piece 11 of the bra body 1.

[0021] This utility model's vest-style bra A does not have the rigid "cup" that is integrally installed in the breast area of ​​a traditional bra. Instead, a soft "pad 3" is detachably installed within the storage space K to function as a cup. This pad 3 is applicable to all the types mentioned above. Figure 1 The padding 3 of the vest-style bra A is a full cup type, but it is not limited to this.

[0022] It should be noted that support bar 7 can be set or not (e.g., Figure 8 There are two scenarios. In addition, the padding 3 is installed in the storage space K between the bra body 1 and the lace part 4. If the padding 3 is installed in the storage space K in advance, there is no need to provide the padding 3 insertion and removal opening 35 on the front piece 11; if it needs to be replaced later, the padding 3 insertion and removal opening 35 is provided on the front piece 11.

[0023] (First Implementation) The first embodiment of the vest-style bra A uses a support strip 7 and has a padded opening 35 on the front piece 11 for inserting and removing the padding 3.

[0024] The vest-style bra A of this utility model is characterized by "ease of wear". Therefore, the fabric of the bra body 1 is made of a highly elastic material, such as Trico warp-knitted fabric, double-knitted fabric, double-knitted fabric, etc.

[0025] Components other than the bra body 1 may use materials with the same elasticity as the body, or materials with lower elasticity may be used to enhance functionality.

[0026] To improve ease of wear, the direction of extension and retraction of the components is crucial. In this utility model: The direction from the lower edge 1k of the bra body 1 towards the shoulder strap 5 is longitudinal (T); the direction from one side of the body 6 to the other side of the body 6 is transverse (Y); the direction from the armpit towards the shoulder strap 5 is the long side direction (N). Figure 2 ).

[0027] In addition, this utility model is characterized by "no exposed seams and beautiful appearance". The connection of components is mainly by adhesive, and adhesives or adhesive films (such as adhesive tape) can be used.

[0028] Structure of Bra Body 1 The bra body 1 is a sleeveless tubular torso 2, with a pair of shoulder straps 5 extending from the upper edge of the torso 2 from the front to the back. The diameter (width) of the torso 2 narrows slightly at the lower edge 1k.

[0029] The front of the bra body 1 is the front piece 11, and the back is the back piece 21. The left and right sides 6 of the front piece 11 and the back piece 21 are connected by adhesive to form the lower tubular torso 2.

[0030] Design of front and back pieces Front piece 11 and back piece 21 are cut from plain fabric. Figure 4 The shape shown can be a single-layer or double-layer structure.

[0031] Front piece 11: Composed of a front body piece 11h covering the wearer's chest to the left and right sides of the body 6, and left and right front shoulder strap portions 5a extending upward from the upper edge of the front body piece 11h. The left and right front shoulder strap portions 5a are cut in a slightly V-shape, with the edge of this cut being the bust line 5l (the bust line can be U-shaped, triangular, or other styles), and its opposite edge being the armhole line 5s.

[0032] The lower edge of the front body piece 11h: cut into a wave shape corresponding to the chest position, with a high center and low sides (corresponding to the chest). The chest and the side of the body 6 are connected by a gentle concave-convex curve, forming the front part of the lower edge 1k of the bra body piece 1.

[0033] The front piece 11 is made of a highly elastic fabric (as described above). To improve wearability, a fabric with greater stretch in the horizontal direction (Y) than in the vertical direction (T) is preferred.

[0034] The back piece 21 consists of a back body piece 21h that covers the wearer's back to the sides of the body 6, and left and right back shoulder straps 5b extending upwards from the upper edge of the back body piece 21h. The left and right back shoulder straps 5b are cut in a slightly U-shape, forming a neckline 1v together with the V-shaped cut of the front piece 11. The lower edge 1k of the back body piece 21h is cut in a gently concave arc shape (it can also be cut into other shapes according to free design).

[0035] The back piece 21 is made of the same material as the front piece, preferably a fabric with greater horizontal (Y) stretch than vertical (T) stretch, or a fabric with consistent horizontal and vertical stretch.

[0036] The connecting part 5c of the front shoulder strap 5a and the back shoulder strap 5b of the shoulder strap 5 overlaps and is glued on the back side that extends beyond the top of the wearer's shoulder to ensure a seamless protrusion.

[0037] Construction of lace component 4 Lace component 4 is attached to the left and right chest areas of the front piece 11 and shaped in three dimensions according to the curve of the chest.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the lace component 4 is formed by two lace pieces 4a and 4b connected along the full-length joining edge 4c to form a three-dimensional structure that symmetrically covers the chest area.

[0039] Lace pieces 4a and 4b can be made of different materials (such as lace with different elasticity and patterns) or can be molded into a three-dimensional structure.

[0040] The function of the lace component 4 is to lift and house the breasts within the padding 3 together with the front piece 11. The material is highly elastic lace in both the vertical and horizontal directions. To enhance the lifting effect, its vertical T-stretch is preferably less than that of the front piece 11; if it is necessary to emphasize the roundness of the breasts, the vertical T-stretch of the front piece 11 can be greater than that in the horizontal Y-stretch.

[0041] Storage space and partition design The peripheral portion 4d of the lace component 4 is bonded to the surface of the front body piece 11h via an adhesive layer 4e, forming a space K in the middle for storing the padding 3. The adhesive layer 4e can be distributed in a continuous ring or in dots.

[0042] The center of the left and right lace components 4 is bonded to the center of the left and right breast areas of the bra body 1 to form a partition 31, which divides the storage space K into left and right sections. In this embodiment, the partition 31 is provided with openings 35 on both sides for inserting and removing pads 3, which facilitates the replacement of pads 3 of different shapes (such as independent left and right pads or one-piece pads).

[0043] Design of support bar 7 Support bar 7-point setting (e.g.) Figure 1 ) and not setting (e.g.) Figure 8 There are two scenarios (the third implementation form).

[0044] Structure: Symmetrical from left to right, the upper part 7a matches the shape of the front shoulder strap 5a, the lower part 7b is cut into a J shape or reverse J shape according to the armhole line 5s, the middle triangular protrusion 7c extends along the chest line 5l, and the lower edge is parallel to the horizontal line of the upper end of the lower part 7b.

[0045] Function: Adhesive to the area from the front shoulder strap 5a to the armhole line 5s and the bust line 5l of the front piece 11, the front piece 11 and the padding 3 are pulled diagonally upwards and downwards by the shoulder strap tension to form cleavage. Its elasticity is the same as or less than that of the front piece 11. The less elastic it is, the stronger the effect of gathering underarm fat.

[0046] Function of front base component 9 The front base component 9 is a thin strip that is bonded along the lower edge 1k of the front piece 11 in a wavy pattern to support the chest when there is no underwire. The material has less lateral Y-stretchability than the front piece 11, or the same as the front piece 11 (but with weaker support).

[0047] The lower edge of the front piece 11, the lower edge of the lace part 4, and the front base part 9 are bonded together in three layers to restrict the lateral Y-shaped stretching of the waist and prevent the breasts from slipping out of the padding 3 during exercise.

[0048] Types and Installation of Gasket 3 Pad 3 is made of soft sponge or similar material, with a thin cloth covering the surface. Common types include: Independent left and right pads ( Figure 6): Inserted through the opening 35, the lower edge 3k is fixed to the chest area of ​​the front piece 11 with double-sided tape 39, and can move with the position of the chest.

[0049] One-piece padding ( Figure 7 The middle part of the left and right pads passes through the top of the separator 31 and is fixed without double-sided tape.

[0050] How to wear: 1. Insert both hands into the torso; 2. Spread them out; 2. Put the head through the neckline 1v; 3. Put the arms through the armholes 1s, pull down the lower edge 1k to cover the upper body.

[0051] When worn, the tension of the shoulder straps 5 lifts the breasts through the support strips 7 and the lace component 4, the divider 31 prevents the padding from shifting, and the front base component 9 supports the breasts, achieving the functions of lifting and shaping. At the same time, the lace component 4 enhances the aesthetic appearance.

[0052] (Second Implementation) The padding 3 is not provided at the insertion and removal opening 35. The padding 3 is fixed to the chest area of ​​the front piece 11 before the lace part 4 is attached. It cannot be replaced. Other structures are the same as in the first embodiment.

[0053] (Third Implementation) Without the support bar 7, the gathering effect is weakened, but the other structures are the same as in the first embodiment.

[0054] This utility model's vest-style bra A, through its unique design, combines wearing convenience, elasticity, aesthetics, and support and shaping functions, providing a new option for the women's underwear market. All parts not described in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
