Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of underwear technology, specifically relating to a nursing bra. Background Technology

[0002] Nursing bras are special functional bras designed specifically for women who are breastfeeding. Their core purpose is to address the unique challenges faced by breastfeeding women due to physiological changes and the needs of breastfeeding, such as increased breast size and weight, and the need for frequent feeding.

[0003] The basic structure of most nursing bras on the market typically includes two cups, a center gore connecting the cups, a band and back clasp around the bust, and shoulder straps. Their most distinctive feature is the nursing opening, usually located at the top of the cups and opened and closed using hooks, snaps, or Velcro, allowing breastfeeding women to breastfeed without removing the bra. Currently, most nursing bras use a fully front-opening or lift-up cup design, resulting in significant breast exposure and poor privacy during breastfeeding. While concealed nursing openings reduce exposure, they are cumbersome to operate and bulky, limiting their applicability and failing to balance convenience and privacy. Furthermore, traditional nursing bras rely on the elasticity of the cups for support, and the opening and closing during breastfeeding can disrupt the mechanical balance, leading to deformation. After multiple washes, the fibers loosen, reducing elasticity by more than 40%, and the support weakens significantly with prolonged use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a nursing bra that allows breastfeeding without removing the bra, improving the convenience of breastfeeding while effectively reducing the exposed area, and maintaining good support when unhooking for breastfeeding.

[0005] The following technical solutions are used to achieve the above objectives.

[0006] This utility model provides a nursing bra, which includes an inner support layer, a support component, two cups, two side panels, and two shoulder straps;

[0007] The inner support layer is disposed on the support member, the two side panels are disposed on opposite sides of the support member, the two shoulder straps are disposed on opposite sides of the inner support layer, and the opposite ends of the shoulder straps are respectively connected to the upper side of the inner support layer and the upper side of the side panels;

[0008] The inner support layer has two openings corresponding to the position of the chest when worn; the first side of the cup is connected to the side of the inner support layer near the side panel, and the second side of each cup is provided with a detachable connector. When the two cups are connected by the connector, the cups cover the openings. When the connectors of the two cups are separated, the cups can be opened relative to the openings to expose them; the support member is arranged around the cups, and when the two cups are connected by the connector, a triangular support structure is formed between the connector and the support member.

[0009] In some embodiments, when the cups are connected via the connector, the connector is located at the center gore of the nursing bra; the middle of the support arches toward the center gore of the nursing bra, and the sides of the support extend to the underarm positions when worn.

[0010] In some embodiments, when the two cups are connected by the connector, an opening is formed between the lower side of the connector and the support member, and the opening has an arched structure.

[0011] In some embodiments, the position where the support intersects the vertical extension line of the cup peak is the first position, the middle part of the support is the second position, the lower end of the cup is connected to the support, and the end point of the lower end of the cup connected to the support is located between the first position and the second position.

[0012] In some embodiments, the support member has a sheet-like strip structure.

[0013] In some embodiments, the support member has a W-shaped structure, and the bends of the support member are smoothly transitioned.

[0014] In some embodiments, the connector is a snap fastener, and the two cups are connected by snap fasteners.

[0015] In some embodiments, the bra cup includes an inner layer and an outer layer connected to the inner layer; the area of ​​the inner layer is larger than the area of ​​the opening, the area of ​​the inner layer is smaller than the area of ​​the outer layer, and when the two bra cups are connected by the connector, the inner layer blocks the opening.

[0019] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages and effects:

[0020] This nursing bra features an inner support layer at the front, with a support member at the bottom. An opening in the inner support layer allows for concealment or exposure via the connection or separation of the two cups. This transforms the traditional fully open nursing structure into a partially open one. When breastfeeding is needed, simply unfastening the cups to expose the opening allows for breastfeeding without removing the bra, improving convenience and reducing exposed area. The triangular support structure formed by the two cups and the support member provides excellent support and stability, effectively preventing breast sagging. It also features a simple design and good wearing comfort. The support member and inner support layer work synergistically to maintain stable support even when the bra is unfastened for breastfeeding. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Unless otherwise specified or defined, the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this document are for distinguishing names only and do not represent a specific number or order.

[0028] Unless otherwise stated or defined, the term “and / or” as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] It should be noted that in this article, "fixed to" or "connected to" can mean directly fixed to or connected to a component, or indirectly fixed to or connected to a component.

[0030] This utility model provides a nursing bra, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the nursing bra includes an inner support layer 1, a support piece 2, two cups 3, two side panels 4, and two shoulder straps 5.

[0031] The inner support layer 1 is disposed on the support member 2, the two side panels 4 are disposed on opposite sides of the support member 2, and the two shoulder straps 5 are disposed on opposite sides of the inner support layer 1, with the opposite ends of the shoulder straps 5 respectively connected to the upper side of the inner support layer 1 and the upper side of the side panels 4. In this embodiment, the ends of the two side panels 4 away from the support member 2 are respectively provided with buckles and hooks, which, through the cooperation of the buckles and hooks, allow the two side panels 4 to fasten together on the back of the body. In order to adjust the size and tightness of the nursing bra, the buckles are provided in multiple rows, and the specific number of rows can be set as needed, without any particular limitation here.

[0032] The inner support layer 1 has two openings 11 corresponding to the position of the chest when worn; wherein, the opening 11 can form a breastfeeding port, so that breastfeeding women can breastfeed through the opening 11 without removing their underwear.

[0033] The first side of the bra cup 3 is connected to the side of the inner support layer 1 near the side 4. The second sides of both bra cups 3 are provided with detachable connectors 6. When the two bra cups 3 are connected by the connectors 6, the bra cup 3 covers the opening 11. When the connectors 6 of the two bra cups 3 are separated, the bra cup 3 can be lifted relative to the opening 11 to expose the opening 11. The support member 2 is arranged around the bra cup 3. When the two bra cups 3 are connected by the connectors 6, a triangular support structure is formed between the connectors 6 and the support member 2.

[0034] Understandably, this nursing bra features an inner support layer 1 at the front, with a support member 2 at the bottom of the inner support layer 1. An opening 11 is provided on the inner support layer 1, which can be covered or exposed by connecting or separating two cups 3. This transforms the traditional fully open nursing structure into a partially open nursing structure. When breastfeeding is needed, the cups 3 can be unhooked to expose only the opening 11, allowing for breastfeeding without removing the bra. This improves convenience while effectively reducing exposed area. Furthermore, the triangular support structure formed between the two cups 3 and the support member 2 when connected provides excellent support and stability, effectively preventing breast sagging. It also features a simple design and good wearing comfort. The connection between the support member 2 and the inner support layer 1 also works synergistically, maintaining stable support even when unhooking for breastfeeding, ensuring a good support effect.

[0035] In some implementations, such as Figure 1As shown, when the bra cup 3 is connected by the connector 6, the connector 6 is located at the center gore of the nursing bra; the middle part of the support member 2 arches towards the center gore of the nursing bra, and the two sides of the support member 2 extend to the two armpit positions when worn. Understandably, by placing the connection point of the two cups 3 at the center gore, a central force point can be formed when the two cups 3 are connected. This disperses the support force borne by the support member 2 to the surrounding area through the central force point, improving the overall structural stability and support. Furthermore, the design of the support member 2 arching towards the center gore of the nursing bra and extending to the armpits on both sides when worn transforms the downward gravity of the breasts into lateral pressure along the direction of the support member 2. This force is then transmitted to the central force point and the two lateral force points near the armpits. These three force points together form a stable triangular support system. Through this force transformation and dispersion, the force is effectively prevented from concentrating on the support member 2 at the lower edge of the breasts, greatly reducing the direct pressure of the support member 2 on the chest and rib area, achieving the effect of support without compression.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support member 2 has a sheet-like strip structure, that is, the support member 2 is a long strip-like strip structure with a certain width, and its bending forms a W-shape, with a smooth transition at the bend of the support member 2. The long strip-like strip structure of the support member 2 has a good effect on supporting the breast and preventing the bra from riding up. The support member 2 also has a certain degree of elasticity, specifically it can be made of a blended fabric of nylon and spandex, which can provide optimal comfort and elasticity while ensuring sufficient support. The support member 2 forms an independent support frame. Through its special W-shaped support member 2 structure, on the one hand, its curve can match the curvature of the lower edge of the breast, and on the other hand, it can ensure stable support during breastfeeding, effectively avoiding the problem of loss of support when unfastening.

[0037] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the two cups 3 are connected by the connector 6, an opening 7 is formed between the lower side of the two cups 3 corresponding to the connector 6 and the support member 2. The opening 7 has an arched structure. It can be understood that the lower side of the cup 3 corresponding to the connector 6 is formed by three-dimensional cutting to create a convex arc protruding towards the peak of the cup 3. Thus, when the two cups 3 are connected by the connector 6, an arched opening 7 is formed between the lower side of the two cups 3 corresponding to the connector 6 and the support member 2. This opening 7 structure facilitates air circulation, significantly improves breathability, saves fabric, reduces costs, and reduces the bulky feeling caused by fabric accumulation.

[0038] In some implementations, such as Figure 1As shown, the position where the vertical extension line of the support member 2 intersects with the cup peak of the bra cup 3 is the first position, the middle part of the support member 2 is the second position, the lower end of the bra cup 3 is connected to the support member 2, and the end point of the lower end of the bra cup 3 connected to the support member 2 is located between the first position and the second position. The bra cup 3 has an upper end, a lower end, an outer side, and an inner side. The outer side of the bra cup 3 is connected to the inner support layer 1 near the armpit, and the lower end of the bra cup 3 is connected to the inner support layer 1 near the lower part of the breast. The upper end and inner side of the bra cup 3 are movable sides, allowing breastfeeding mothers to easily lift the bra cup 3 from the upper end and inner side to expose the opening 11 of the inner support layer 1 when breastfeeding is needed. Positioning the end point of the lower end of the bra cup 3 connected to the support member 2 between the first and second positions ensures that the opening 11 is exposed when lifted, while minimizing the exposed area and improving privacy.

[0039] In some embodiments, the connector 6 is a snap-fit ​​fastener, and the two bra cups 3 are connected by snap-fit ​​fasteners. The snap-fit ​​fastener is a metal buckle, with one bra cup 3 having a female snap-fit ​​fastener and the other bra cup 3 having a male snap-fit ​​fastener. The two bra cups 3 are connected in a front-opening manner through the snap-fit ​​of the male and female snap-fit ​​fasteners, providing a stable connection, facilitating quick one-handed operation by the mother, and ensuring convenient breastfeeding.

[0040] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bra cup 3 includes an inner layer 31 and an outer layer 32 connected to the inner layer 31. The area of ​​the inner layer 31 is larger than the area of ​​the opening 11, and the area of ​​the inner layer 31 is smaller than the area of ​​the outer layer 32. When the two bra cups 3 are connected by the connector 6, the inner layer 31 covers the opening 11. The composite structure connected by the inner layer 31 and the outer layer 32, with the area of ​​the inner layer 31 being smaller than the area of ​​the outer layer 32, means that the inner layer 31 only needs to cover the area of ​​the opening 11 structure. This effectively avoids privacy exposure, improves safety, and ensures wearing comfort while reducing fabric accumulation, minimizing bulkiness, creating a slimmer appearance, and reducing the heaviness of the nursing bra.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inner layer 31 is a cotton layer, and the outer layer 32 is a lace layer. This structural layer can provide sufficient privacy and wearing comfort while creating a lightweight and breathable wearing experience, and is more aesthetically pleasing, thus achieving a balance between functionality, comfort, and aesthetics.

[0042] In some embodiments, the inner support layer 1 is a mesh structure. Understandably, the inner support layer 1 is a breathable mesh structure layer. Combined with the structure of the inner layer 31 being a cotton layer and the outer layer 32 being a lace layer, it can significantly improve breathability. Moreover, the connection between the support member 2 and the inner support layer 1 can form a synergistic effect, maintaining stable support and good support effect even when breastfeeding.

[0043] In summary, this nursing bra allows breastfeeding without removing the bra, improving breastfeeding convenience while effectively reducing exposed area. It also provides excellent support, stability, breathability, and resistance to deformation. In laboratory performance tests, it demonstrated outstanding performance: breathability increased by 55%, and the elasticity remained above 95% after washing.

[0044] In some embodiments, the inner layer 31 is a rabbit ear cup pad structure, which, together with the lace outer layer 32, can break the inherent functional image of nursing bras, effectively enhance their aesthetics and fashionability, and allow them to be naturally integrated into everyday wear.

[0045] The above embodiments are not an exhaustive list based on this utility model, and there may be other embodiments not listed. Any substitutions and improvements made without departing from the concept of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
