Adjustable bra with interchangeable back

Abstract

The invention relates to a bra-type lingerie garment in which the front (1) and back (D2) parts of the bra are independent and connected at their lateral ends by separable fasteners (D1). These separable fasteners are designed to allow interchangeability between the front and back parts of the bra, regardless of their model, size, type, or shape, in order to adapt to the clothing worn, particularly a backless dress.

Description

Title of the invention: Modular bra with interchangeable back

[0001] The invention relates to a textile lingerie article of the bra type, the front part and the back part of the bra of which are independent and connected at their lateral end by separable closures. Said separable closures are intended to allow interchangeability between the front part and the back part of the bra regardless of their model, size, type or shape in order to adapt to the clothing worn and in particular a bare back.

[0002] By lingerie item is meant any item of female or male underwear type and more specifically the bra, without distinction of type, size, shape or model, designed to support or dress the chest.

[0003] There are several types of bras. These are always sold in one piece composed of a front part called the "cups" and a rear part called the "back". These two parts are connected by seams to form a single product. There are several types and shapes. The same goes for seamless bras.

[0004] However, this type of bra does not give consumers the choice of wearing it with all the clothes available on the market. The back part of this type of so-called "classic" lingerie does not allow for a backless style, for example. In fact, the back band or the clasps remain visible.

[0005] Brands have diversified their lingerie ranges in order to better meet an increasingly complex demand. To address this, we have seen new bra formats and even new styles.

[0006] Adhesive strap bras have helped meet some of the demand because they allow for open backs. These are made up of only an adhesive strip attached to the chest without straps or fasteners and allow the back to be completely free. However, they are not suitable for all body types.

[0007] Indeed, people with large breasts do not get the desired support. In addition, the feeling of adhesion is not bearable by everyone. The adhesive used, which completely covers the chest, can be the cause of skin irritation. The skin around the breasts is very fragile. Finally, they do not provide any aesthetic appeal.

[0008] We also saw the birth of the strapless bra whose back part is reduced to the middle of the back. Here again, like "classic" bras, the back is not entirely free. It allows for a semi-open back. This means that you cannot have a completely bare back. Also, the support leaves something to be desired regardless of the cup size.

[0009] The most suitable solution would therefore be to turn to a specialist. Here again, the high price of this type of service does not suit everyone and the result obtained will still not allow you to wear a bare back.

[0010] The objective of the present invention is therefore to propose a bra that meets everyone's expectations. That is to say, to have a bra that can be adjusted according to one's needs and desires and which adapts to everyone's clothing, whatever their body shape, while preserving the support and aesthetics that we already know.

[0011] The idea behind the invention is to affix, using seams, separable closures DI on either side between the front part called "the cups" 1 and the rear part called the "back". This is to modulate your bra as you wish and use different "backs", in particular adhesive wings D2 for a bare back.

[0012] Thus, the object of the invention lies in a modular bra composed of two distinct and separable parts comprising, for the front part, two cups 1 connected together and intended to receive the chest of a person and for the rear part a back which is of various type, size and / or shape, the front and the rear of the bra being connected by separable closures DI at their ends in order to allow interchangeability.

[0013] Each cup 1 is individually connected by their outer edge to one side of the separable closure DI. The other part of the separable closure DI being connected to a part of the back. Thus, it forms a single article in which the separable closures DI being configured to be located under each of the person's armpits, once connected, either in the closed position

[0014] Modular bra that uses separable DI closures sewn at each end of the parts to allow interchangeability of the front and back parts of the bra.

[0015] The DI separable closures are accompanied or not by whalebones in order to accentuate the support of the chest, particularly for large chests.

[0016] The article of the invention is advantageously a bra regardless of its model, type, size or shape to which are added separable closures DI positioned under the armpits in order to make it removable and interchangeable. It concerns all current or future models as long as it is called a bra.

[0017] The closures used in the invention may be of different thickness, size, shape, style, composition or color.

[0018] The invention is a modular bra in which each strap 3 is attached, removably or not, to the rear part, i.e. the back. The invention is composed of several attachment points 2 of the straps 3 located at each end of the chest at the level of the cups 1, on the back part and two other attachment points 2 located at the level of each closure DI to allow the person to keep their straps 3 when they affix the adhesive wings D2 as a back to wear bare backs.

[0019] Each of the adhesive wings D2 positioned on the lateral flank of the body is separately connected to the other part of the separable closure. When the separable closures DI join together, they provide a bra that allows a backless to be worn while maintaining the support of a bra, comfort and aesthetics.

[0020] The invention makes it possible to have a bra where the front part 1 and the back part are distinct, separable and interchangeable. It can be adjusted as desired so that the person can combine the front part with the back of their choice.

[0021] The invention offers the person the choice of combining a bra front which provides support and aesthetics with a D2 adhesive wing back for a backless effect or a classic back.

[0022] The adhesive wings D2 which are in contact with the skin and which allow a bare back to be worn are made of silicone. They are also an additional support element for the bra to compensate for the absence of any straps 3 which the person might choose to remove.

[0023] The invention also relates to several bras as mentioned above as well as different backs using the same principle to meet the demand for diversity.

[0024] It is thus possible to sell bra kits comprising a bra according to the invention and several backs which dress the back in different colors and / or textures and / or sizes and / or shapes.

[0025] Other characteristics and advantages of the invention not stated but non-limiting will emerge with reference to the attached drawings.
