Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a fitted bra with an integrated upper edge, belonging to the technical field of clothing manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] A bra is a functional garment that supports, secures, wraps around, and protects a woman's breasts. It conforms closely to the wearer's body, providing both coverage and a pleasing visual effect. Existing bra cups are mostly made by molding and bonding multiple layers of fabric. To conceal the multi-layered structure of the cup, the molded cross-section is often decorated with lace trim. Furthermore, for existing bras with soft support, the soft support and cup are often manufactured separately, with the soft support then fixed to the inside of the cup. This manufacturing process is complex, making the overall structure of the bra appear cumbersome and less streamlined, affecting its aesthetics. The soft support, fixed to the cup surface, is also prone to wear and tear. Therefore, this technical field urgently needs to solve the problem of how to obtain a bra with a simple appearance, a one-piece upper edge, and conforming soft support that can be molded in one piece.

[0033] Example

[0034] This utility model provides a fitted bra 1 with an integrated upper edge, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, a sheet of material 3 is placed on a hot press mold 18. Through the hinges of the upper and lower molds 18, the sheet of material 3 is folded along a pair of fold lines and then bonded together to form an integrated bra cup 2. The folded portion of the sheet of material 3 forms the upper edge 4 of the bra. Since the upper edge 4 is formed by folding a sheet of material 3, the cross-section of the bra cup is no longer exposed. The upper edge 4 does not need to be edged to conceal the multi-layered structure of the bra cup and can be directly used as the finished product of the bra. The lower edge and sides of the bra 1 need to be cut as needed and edged.

[0035] In one embodiment, before molding, a soft support 5 is placed on the sheet 3 along the lower edge of the cup 2; after molding, the soft support 5 is disposed between the outer layer and the inner layer of the cup 2 formed by folding the sheet 3; the soft support 5 includes at least two segments with different mechanical properties. The sheet 3 may be configured as a composite material, including several layers; it includes at least a fabric layer, a flexible lining layer, and a breathable layer.

[0036] The soft support 5 has different cross-sectional shapes depending on its location.

[0037] In one embodiment, specifically, soft supports 5 are placed along the lower edges of the two cups 2 respectively; the soft supports 5 are, in sequence, a flat cross-section segment 6, a cylindrical cross-section segment 7, and a flat cross-section segment 8 along the lower edges of the left and right cups 2; the flat cross-section segment 6 and the flat cross-section segment 8 are respectively provided with flat surfaces corresponding to the inner curved surfaces of the cups 2; the cross-sections of the flat cross-section segment 6, the cylindrical cross-section segment 7, and the flat cross-section segment 8 are in a gradually transitioning form.

[0038] Since the human chest is roughly a flattened cylindrical shape, the soft support 5 wraps around the left and right sides and the lower part of the breast. The soft support 5 on the left and right sides needs to have more horizontal elasticity so that the cup fits the human body. Therefore, the sides of the soft support 5 are designed as flat cross-section segment 1 6 and flat cross-section segment 2 8. Flat cross-section segment 1 6 and flat cross-section segment 2 8 are respectively provided with flat surfaces corresponding to the inner curved surface of the cup 2. The flat soft support has greater elasticity in the horizontal direction and less elasticity in the vertical direction, so that the soft support 5 can more easily fit the shape of the human chest. The cylindrical cross-section segment 7 provides upward support under the breast. The cylindrical cross-section directly below the breast gradually transitions to form the flat cross-sections on both sides to adapt to the curvature of the human chest cross-section, so that the cup can more easily fit the shape of the human chest.

[0039] In another embodiment, the lower edge of the bra 1 is provided with a continuous soft support 5; the continuous soft support 5 includes, in sequence: the lower left edge segment 9 of the left cup, the middle lower edge segment 10 of the left cup, the lower right edge segment 11 of the left cup, the middle segment between the two cups 12, the lower left edge segment 13 of the right cup, the middle lower edge segment 14 of the right cup, and the lower right edge segment 15 of the right cup;

[0040] The lower left edge segment 9 of the left cup, the lower right edge segment 11 of the left cup, the middle segment 12 of the two cups, the lower left edge segment 13 of the right cup, and the lower right edge segment 15 of the right cup are all provided with flat cross-section segments that conform to the curvature of the human chest; the lower middle edge segment 10 of the left cup and the lower middle edge segment 14 of the right cup are provided with cylindrical cross-section segments; the cross-sections of the flat cross-section segments and the cylindrical cross-section segments are in a gradually transitioning form.

[0041] In another embodiment, the soft support 5 includes a strip-shaped elastic inner core 16 and a covering member 17 that covers the elastic inner core; the elastic inner core 16 includes several segments with different mechanical properties. The elastic inner core 16 has different cross-sectional shapes depending on its location.

[0042] The elastic core 16 is made of nylon, and the covering part 17 is made of silicone.

[0043] Soft supports 5 are provided along the lower edge of the two cups 2 respectively; the elastic core 16 of the soft support 5 is provided with flat section segment 1 6, cylindrical section segment 7 and flat section segment 2 8 in sequence along the lower edge of the left and right cups 2; flat section segment 1 6 and flat section segment 2 8 are respectively provided with flat surfaces corresponding to the inner curved surface of the cup; the cross sections of flat section segment 1 6, cylindrical section segment 7 and flat section segment 2 8 are in a gradually transitioned form.

[0044] In another embodiment, a continuous soft support 5 is provided along the lower edge of the bra 1; the elastic inner core 16 of the soft support 5 is continuous; the elastic inner core 16 includes, in sequence: the lower left edge segment 9 of the left cup, the lower middle edge segment 10 of the left cup, the lower right edge segment 11 of the left cup, the middle segment 12 of the two cups, the lower left edge segment 13 of the right cup, the lower middle edge segment 14 of the right cup, and the lower right edge segment 15 of the right cup;

[0045] The lower left edge section 9 of the left cup, the lower right edge section 11 of the left cup, the middle section between the two cups 12, the lower left edge section 13 of the right cup, and the lower right edge section 15 of the right cup are all provided with flat cross-section sections that conform to the curvature of the human chest; the lower middle edge section 10 of the left cup and the lower middle edge section 14 of the right cup are provided with cylindrical cross-section sections; the cross-sections of the flat cross-section sections and the cylindrical cross-section sections are in a gradually transitioning form.

[0046] Compared to traditional soft-support bras, the soft support provided by this invention can offer varying degrees of elasticity to the breast in different directions depending on its position within the cup, thus adapting to different stretching and rebound needs, or support requirements in different positions and directions. This achieves shaping and support effects in different directions and positions, making this invention more closely conform to the wearer's body shape.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and additions without departing from this utility model, and these improvements and additions should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
