Description

Title of the invention: Device for supporting the breasts in the prone position Technical field

[0001] This present invention relates to a device for supporting the breasts in the prone position so that they are not compressed or crushed under the effect of pressure due to the weight of the body and the direct contact of the breasts with the surface where the body lies. It gives depth to the volume of the breasts so that the latter can dive into it while remaining in their natural state and be supported throughout the bust. It is ergonomic to the bust. Prior art

[0002] No device is currently provided to support the breasts in this position. When a woman lies on her stomach, the breasts are flattened, even crushed. This situation is not at all comfortable, even unpleasant. Disclosure of the invention

[0003] The device according to the invention makes it possible to overcome this drawback. It comprises, in fact, according to a first characteristic, an ergonomic bust cushion having on its two faces, conventional bra cups and a face rest. It is called an ergonomic bust bra cushion. The invention is based on giving depth and thickness to a bra by means of a cushion or conversely, giving space to the breasts by means of the bra cups in a cushion. The thickness of this cushion makes it possible to give depth to the bra cups so that in said lying position on the stomach, the latter can plunge deep without shrinking in volume, thus allowing the breasts to remain in their natural state and so that they do not compress. The padding of the cushion by giving volume to the latter reinforces the effect of the thickness and provides comfort to the user.

[0004] According to particular embodiments: - The bra cups and face rest are part of each of the two sides of the cushion. The bra cups can be lined with fleece for optimal comfort. The face rest is simply a hole in the cushion at face level. - The thickness of the cushion is located in three specific places to ensure the support of the breasts throughout the bust.

[0005] First, the thickness at the contour of the bra cups allows them to be given particular depth. To this end, this thickness does both Deeply immerses the volume of the bra cups without compressing them and raises the contour of the bra cups to a certain height relative to the surface where the body lies. This allows the breasts to remain in their natural state.

[0006] Then, the thickness at the edge of the face rest allows, by the same principle, to raise the face to a certain height so that it is not crushed in turn. Supporting the entire head and neck in this way reinforces the support of the chest.

[0007] Finally, the thickness which connects the contours of the two upper and lower faces of this cushion completes and balances the maintenance of the volume of the bra cups in its depth, thus making it possible to keep the breasts at a certain height in relation to the surface where the body lies, in the whole of the bust.

[0008] The greater this thickness, the more significant the depth where the bra cups are located and the breasts do not shrink. Indeed, this thickness must be proportional to the volume of the bra cups so that the gap between the raised bust and the rest of the body is not very large but it allows to considerably reduce the pressure exerted by the weight of the body and the contact with the surface where the latter lies. It just allows to keep the breasts in their natural state and that they do not compress, including the face. A well-adapted depth provides comfort. - A valve is designed in case the cushion is made of plastic of the inflatable structure type. - The cushion padding can be a single block of a light and flexible material such as foam or latex. In this case, holes in the shape of bra cups and any shape for the face rest as well as the ergonomic shape to the bust of the device must be carved on the padding for its compatibility with the envelope. By the very definition of a cushion, it has an envelope which is a kind of bag that defines its structure and a padding. - The cushion can be double or single sided.

[0009] There are three possible variants for the double-sided cushion: The first variant corresponds to that described above: presence of bra cups and a face rest on both sides of the cushion. The other two variants correspond to the following figures: the hole of the face rest is present on both sides and holes in the shape of the bra cups replace the bra cups either on both sides or on one of the two sides.

[0010] The single-sided cushion has four variants which correspond to a combination of the following figures: a presence of the face rest hole with the cups bra or bra cup shaped holes on one side, the other side has the face rest hole or nothing. - The cushion can have different sizes. The small size has the same length as

[0011] that of the average height of a bust, the large format has a length close to the average height of an individual. The width for both formats remains equal to that of the average width of the chest. - The cushion can be made of one or more removable or retractable pieces. A link brings these elements together in the case of a device made up of several elements. - The cushion can be a new model of a massage table. It must be single-sided unless the table itself is double-sided. It becomes an integral part of the latter, whether it is fixed or portable. In this case, the table top incorporates the bra cups and the face rest. The thickness of the cushion is that of the table top. - A protective cover can be included with this device to facilitate its maintenance. This cover has the same structure as the cushion cover, it fits perfectly with the ergonomic bra cushion. The plastic version of the device in inflatable structures does not necessarily require a cover. Brief description of the drawings

[0012] The attached drawings illustrate the invention: • [Fig.l] represents in section along an axis passing through the bra cups, the device of the invention. • [Fig.2] represents in section along the axis of symmetry of this device, the device of the invention. • [Fig.3] shows a section of the one-piece padding of the device • [Fig.4] represents a view from above of one of the two faces of another variant of the device. • [Fig.5] represents in perspective, the device of the invention. Detailed description

[0013] With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a cushion (1) including the envelope (2), which defines the structure of said device and the padding (3), which provides volume and comfort. The lower and upper faces, two integral parts of the envelope (2) are each provided with the bra cups (4) which can be lined with fleece and the face rest (5), represented by a hole.

[0014] A thickness (6) connects the contours of the bra cups (4) on the same side of these two faces. This thickness (6) at this location both raises the outline of the bra cups (4) to a certain height and gives depth to the volume of the bra cups (4) so ​​that they do not compress during use. As a result, when a user lies on her stomach, the breasts in said bra cups (4) are not subjected to any pressure.

[0015] The two respective holes in the upper and lower faces of the cushion (1) representing the face rest (5) are also connected at their contour by the thickness (6). This thickness (6) delimits said face rest (5) by giving it height which allows the face to be held at a certain height.

[0016] This thickness (6) naturally connects the two faces along their contour. It reinforces and balances the maintenance of the depth of the bra cups (4) and the height of the face rest (5).

[0017] The thickness (6) at these three different locations of the cushion (1) is such that the difference between the level of the raised bust and the rest of the body is not very significant when the cushion (1) is made in a small format for the comfort of the user. This thickness (6) is proportional to the volume of the bra cups (4).

[0018] A valve (7) is located, preferably on the upper side of the face rest (5), on the side of the cushion (1) in the case where the cushion (1) is made of plastic of inflatable structures.

[0019] In the embodiment according to figure [Fig.4], the face rest (5) can be made of an extension on both sides of the top of the cushion (1). Strings (8) bring these two extended sides together to form the face rest (5).

[0020] The padding (3) which gives volume and comfort to this device has holes sculpted in the shapes of the bra cups (4) and the face rest (5) in the case where it is made from a single block of a flexible and light material such as foam or latex so that it fits perfectly with said bra cups (4) and face rest (5) of the envelope (2). For the same reason, the ergonomic shape of the device is also sculpted directly on the padding (3).

[0021] As a non-limiting example, the small format cushion will have dimensions of the order of 54 cm for the width, 62 cm for the length, 13 cm for the thickness and 22 cm for the diameter of the face rest. The large format will have 175 cm for the length.

[0022] The device according to the invention is intended to support the breasts in a lying position on the stomach in the entire bust to be a relaxation accessory both inside and outside. It is made for a massage accessory as a cushion or an integral part of a massage table. It is also used as a simple pillow or a beach accessory, to simply rest.
