Abstract
Description
NURSING BRATechnical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to nursing bras in the field of consumer goods, in particular bras suitable for pregnant and postpartum women or for daily use, providing comfort for breastfeeding or pumping.Background Art
[0002] Bras are tight-fitting clothes that hug the body’s breasts, a type of clothing that plays an important role for women. The product not only helps shape and enhance the wearer’s charm but it also demonstrates high aesthetics. However, choosing the right bra for each woman is very necessary and if wearing an unsuitable bra regularly, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, it can cause serious effects on the woman's health. Wearing the bra helps create curves to correct breast defects, helps protect the breasts and also prevents sagging during daily work activities, helping other layers of clothing not to be soiled by body secretions. In cold climates, bras also help keep the body warm. Normally, bras are classified according to function and structure, when classified by function, there are four types: soft bras, push-up bras, sports bras, and bras for postpartum women. Regular bras comprise the following parts: hook and eye fasteners that open and close the bra in the middle of the back of the bra, usually made of silver- plated iron that fastens together. Hook buckles are the parts that connect a shoulder straps to bra cups. Sliding buckles are used to adjust the shoulder strap length. The hook buckles and sliding buckles are usually made of plastic or plastic-coated iron on the outside. A back strap is the main part of the bra, wrapping around the body, connecting the back strap at the back with the hook and eye fasteners, with about 3 to 4 levels for adjusting to different breast sizes. The back strap requires a certain amount of stretch to ensure a snug fit, and is usually made up of an elastic band and knitted fabric of the same type as a cup cover. The bra cups are the most important part of the bra, wrapping around and hugging the breasts, creating protection and support for the breasts. They are made up of an outermost layer of fabric, a lining fabric that is knitted fabric, and a padding layer in the middle that is usually made of foam plastic. The center of the bra is in the middle of the two cups, can be adjusted to be wider or narrower depending on the position of the two breasts, and is a bridge between the two cups, creating a perfectfit. The cup contour runs along the top of the cup, hugging the breasts. The frame, usually made of metal or plastic, acts as the frame of the two cups, supporting the breasts. The back strap lower edge is the lowest part of the bra, running along the lower edge of the back strap, just like the hem of the bra cups, which can be decorated with elastic straps or lace. The shoulder straps go over the shoulders, from the part connecting the two bra cups of the breast to the part connecting to the back strap at the back, and are often made of a high elastic band to ensure a snug fit with each breast shape.
[0003] Based on the advantages of regular bras, nursing bras are specially designed with clasps, buttons, or snap buttons placed either above the shoulder straps or between the two bra cups. These features allow mothers to easily open the two bra cups for breastfeeding her newborn or inserting a breast pump without having to completely remove the bra. Nursing bras are usually made from safe, high-quality, breathable and elastic fabrics such as cotton, tencel, etc. providing comfort comfort and ease to pregnant and postpartum women. During pregnancy, breast size increases, making regular bras uncomfortable, nursing bras both reduce this discomfort and prepare you for the postpartum period. In addition to helping babies breastfeed more conveniently, nursing bras also bring many benefits, such as helping postpartum women avoid getting colds and not losing their safety when breastfeeding while someone visits them or they are in public. They protect the mother's health during breastfeeding because nursing bras keep the breasts in the correct position, support breastfeeding comfortably without sagging or pain, and reduce the risk of health-related diseases such as mastitis, infections and breast pain.
[0004] However, current nursing bras use clasps, buttons or snap buttons to close and open the two bra cups vertically, similar to hanging two bra cups, or to close and open them horizontally. These are made of high-thickness plastic or metal, protruding far away from the wearer, which easily irritates the skin when the wearer is lying down. To open them, two hands are required, one hand to support the breast and the other hand to open the clasps, buttons or snap buttons. The button is usually located between the two bra cups for nursing bras that close and open horizontally to the sides. When finished, the wearer has to press the snap buttons to close the two bra cups, which can easily cause pain for the wearer and they can also potentially touch the newborn's head when held in front of the breast.
[0005] Publication of International patent application No. WO / 2022 / 074658 discloses that a nursing bra comprises two breast cup portions that are defined in the front of the nursing bra. The nursing bra is formed of a single layer, first seamless knitted fabric with an inner surface and an outer surface. The cup portions are defined by respective portions of the inner and outer surfaces of the first fabric. A second fabric layer is attached, e.g. knitted, seamed, or bonded to the inner surface of the first fabric. The second fabric layer is attached such that it overlaps with at least a portion of the inner surface of the portions defining the cup portions, thereby forming pad pockets between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer. Two openings are formed in the second fabric layer at a suitable position to receive the nipples of the wearer, when the bra is worn. The pad pockets are configured to accommodate nursing pads, which are insertable and removable through the openings. Each of the third fabric sheets is seamed to (i) the bottom end of the respective cup portion, (ii) a portion of the second fabric, and (iii) is attachable to the top end of the breast cup via a shoulder strap clip that is configured for clipping to the shoulder strap. The bra with reusable breast pads with a nipple- engaging layer that is made of a knitted meshed fabric; a jersey fabric layer; an anti-microbial absorbent layer; leak-proof layer; the anti-microbial absorbent layer is formed between the nipple-engaging layer and the leak-proof layer and the leak-proof layer is formed between the anti-microbial absorbent layer and the jersey fabric layer; wherein the breast pad is molded, thereby having a cup shape. Solution-based nursing bras can create comfort for the wearer, and the breast absorbent pads are reusable and antibacterial. However, the disadvantage is that the third layer of fabric is attached to the clip of the shoulder strap at the top. The clip can rub against the wearer's skin, is not tight and does not guarantee protection for the wearer because it is open in the middle for both cups.Summary of Invention
