[0016] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to drawings and embodiments, in order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention.

[0017] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the present invention provides an S-shaped fastener for the back side of a brassiere. In this embodiment, a standard brassiere fastener is used as an example. A brassiere using this fastener has two back cloths, one at each end of the brassiere, with multiple rows of female hooks on the left back cloth and one row of fastening holes on the free edge of the right back cloth. The fastener is an assembly, and includes a left fastening member 100 connected to the left end of the brassiere, i.e., the left back cloth, and a right fastening member 200 connected to the right end of the brassiere, i.e., the right back cloth. Specifically, the left locking member 100 comprises a left bottom plate 101, a left panel 102 overlapping and joined to one surface of the left bottom plate 101, and a left insertion notch 103 provided between them; the right locking member 200 comprises a right bottom plate 201, a right panel 202 overlapping and joined to one surface of the right bottom plate 201, and a right insertion notch 203 provided between them; when the left locking member 100 is connected to the right locking member 200, the left insertion notch 103 and the right insertion notch 203 fit together.

[0018] Lap joint means that one panel is stacked on top of another panel, i.e., the two panels are in different planes after joining, and the edges of the joined sides of the two panels are misaligned, see Figures 3 and 6 for details.

[0019] In this embodiment, the left bottom plate 101 and left panel 102, and the right bottom plate 201 and right panel 202 are all made of flat plates, and the orthographic projection of the left locking member 100 is rectangular, and the irregular gap in the orthographic projection is the left insertion notch 103.Similarly, the orthographic projection of the right locking member 200 is rectangular, and the irregular gap in the orthographic projection is the right insertion notch 203.

[0020] The left and right locking members 100 and 200 are joined by being inserted through the left and right insertion notches 103 and 203, respectively, so the shapes of the left and right insertion notches 103 and 203 must correspond to each other.

[0021] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the left bottom plate 101 has an L-shaped upper cutout 104, the left side surface 102a of the left panel 102 is S-shaped, and the left insertion cutout 103 is actually a gap between the upper half of the left side surface and the vertical surface of the L-shaped upper cutout 104. Corresponding to the shape of the left-side locking member 100, the right bottom plate 201 has an L-shaped lower cutout 204, the right side surface 202a of the right panel 202 is S-shaped, and the right insertion cutout 203 is a gap between the lower half of the right side surface 202a and the vertical surface of the L-shaped lower cutout 204.

[0022] The left bottom plate 101 is joined by overlapping with the left panel 102, and the right bottom plate 201 is joined by overlapping with the right panel 202, so that when the left fastening member 100 and the right fastening member 200 are connected, the left side surface 102a of the left panel and the right side surface 202a of the right panel fit together, and the gap between them after they are joined forms an S shape. In fact, the left side surface 102a is S-shaped as a whole, and the right side surface 202a is also S-shaped as a whole, and the shapes of the left side surface 102a and the right side surface 202a match.

[0023] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, in order to fasten the fastener of this embodiment to a brassiere, a plurality of male hooks 105 are provided on the left edge of the bottom surface of the left bottom plate 101, and the plurality of male hooks are arranged in a row and are used to connect with female hooks in any row on the back cloth on the left side. The number of male hooks 105 is not particularly limited, and the number of both can be the same as that of female hooks in any row on the back cloth, and according to a general structure, each row of female hooks on a brassiere uses two or more individual female hooks, so that one row of male hooks usually includes two or more individual male hooks. A plurality of hook holes 205 are provided on the right edge of the right bottom plate 201, and the hook holes 205 are also arranged in a row. The right bottom plate 201 is connected to a row of male hooks at the free end of the right back cloth through the hook holes 205. Since a row of male hooks on a brassiere usually uses two or more individual male hooks, each row of hook holes generally includes two or more individual hook holes, for example, three individual male hooks and three individual hook holes.

[0024] 1 to 6, the opening of the male hook 105 faces right, the opening of the left insertion notch 103 faces upward, and the opening of the right insertion notch 203 faces downward. This structure is suitable for most people, i.e., right-handed wearers.

[0025] After the left fastening member 100 and the right fastening member 200 are joined, the center of their joined position receives the greatest force. Therefore, an arc-shaped protruding plate 300 is provided on the surface of the left panel 102, with one side edge located at the center of the left edge of the left panel 102, and an arc-shaped protruding plate 300 is provided on the surface of the right panel 202, with one side edge located at the center of the right edge of the right panel 202. Here, the arc-shaped protruding plates 300 on both the left panel 102 and the right panel 202 are molded integrally with both panels, and the shape of the edges of the arc-shaped protruding plate 300 matches the shape of the edges at corresponding positions on the left panel 102 and the right panel 202, respectively. The arc-shaped protruding plates 300 reinforce the positions on the left panel 102 and the right panel 202 where the force is greatest, and are used to prevent these positions from being damaged first over long-term use, thereby shortening the life of the entire fastener.

[0026] Similarly, to reinforce the left panel 102 and the right panel 202, protruding reinforcing ribs are provided on the surfaces of the left panel 102 and the right panel 202, respectively, and the reinforcing ribs 400 are provided along the vertical direction of the left panel 102 and the right panel 202.

[0027] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, in order to achieve a tight fit between the left panel 102 and the right panel 202, a left step portion 102b is provided in the center of the left side surface 102a of the left panel 102, and a right step portion 202b that connects to the left step portion 102b is provided in the center of the right side surface 202a of the right panel 202.

[0029] The structures of the left and right locking members are the same as those in the above-described embodiment, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0030] 13 to 16, this is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is used for a sports bra, i.e., it is used in conjunction with a sports bra, and differs from the first embodiment in that the left bottom plate 101 of the left fastening member 100 does not have a row of male hooks 105, and the right bottom plate 201 does not have a row of hook holes 205. In other words, the left bottom plate 101 and the right bottom plate 201 of this embodiment are fixed to the brassiere by a method such as sewing. The rest of the structure is the same as that of the first embodiment, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0031] As shown in Figures 17 to 22, the left bottom plate 101, right bottom plate 201, left panel 102, right panel 202 of the above-mentioned three embodiments and the left bottom plate 101', right bottom plate 201', left panel 102', right panel 202' for left-handed people are all made of flat plates, but may also be made of arc plates with a wavy cross section.Other than that, the structure is the same as that of the above-mentioned three embodiments, so detailed explanations will be omitted here.

[0032] Compared to similar conventional products, when wearing a brassiere equipped with the fastener of the present invention, the wearer does not need to fasten multiple small female and male hooks, but can complete the putting-on operation in one go by simply engaging the left fastening member 100 and the right fastening member 200. This makes it easy to use and particularly suitable for women with reduced dexterity in their hands and for those with special body types, thereby expanding the range of applications.

[0033] In the above description, the terms "attached," "coupled," "connected," etc. should be interpreted broadly, and may refer to, for example, a fixed connection, a detachable connection or being integral, a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate element, or internal communication between two elements. It should be noted that "provided on" should be understood as "attached to, installed on," and includes attachment methods such as fixed installation and movably attachment.

[0034] Obviously, the above-described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and the drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention, but do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The present invention can be implemented in many different forms, and these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the present invention. Equivalent structures implemented using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, and those directly or indirectly operated in other related technical fields, also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
