Abstract
Description
A breathable bra Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of underwear technology, and more specifically to a breathable bra. Background Technology
[0002] Bras are clothing items used to cover and protect the breasts. Invisible bras have adhesive strips on the inside of the cups to adhere to the skin and secure the bra. In existing technology, the adhesive strips are made by coating the inner surface of the cups with an adhesive and then curing it. However, because the adhesive strips are not breathable, wearing invisible bras for extended periods can cause discomfort and may lead to redness and swelling of the breasts. To address this technical problem, Chinese patent application number 201110183406.4 discloses a breathable adhesive body shaping pad, comprising a body shaping pad body and a breathable adhesive layer. The breathable adhesive layer is located on the inner surface of the body shaping pad body, and its breathable adhesive layer is essentially a sheet of adhesive with ventilation holes. However, this body shaping pad still has poor breathability and is relatively heavy, resulting in poor comfort. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a bra with good breathability, which is provided with an adhesive strip formed by a linear adhesive strip, reducing the coverage area of the adhesive strip on the cup body, improving the breathability of the bra, and at the same time reducing the weight of the bra and improving wearing comfort.
[0004] The technical solution used in this invention is:
[0005] A breathable bra includes a cup body and an adhesive patch disposed on the contact surface of the cup body. The cup body is made of a breathable material, and the adhesive patch is made of a flexible material. At least a portion of the adhesive patch is surrounded by a linear solid adhesive strip, either closed or open, and the area of the adhesive patch not covered by the adhesive strip forms a breathable zone.
[0006] Preferably, the adhesive patch comprises a plurality of closed / quasi-closed adhesive rings formed by the linear solid adhesive strips, and the plurality of adhesive rings are nested sequentially from the inside out; or
[0007] The adhesive patch comprises multiple adhesive strips, which are arranged in a grid pattern; or
[0008] At least a portion of the adhesive is formed by spirally winding the linear solid adhesive strip.
[0009] Preferably, the adhesive includes an outer adhesive ring adjacent to the edge of the cup body and surrounding the cup body, and a plurality of inner adhesive strips located in the outer adhesive ring.
[0010] Preferably, some of the inner rubber strips are connected to each other, or the plurality of inner rubber strips are discretely distributed within the outer rubber ring.
[0011] Preferably, the adhesive includes an outer adhesive ring adjacent to the edge of the bra cup body and surrounding the bra cup body, and an inner adhesive strip spirally coiled within the outer adhesive ring; or
[0012] The adhesive includes an outer adhesive ring adjacent to the edge of the cup body and surrounding the cup body, and an inner adhesive ring located in the outer adhesive ring. An avoidance area is formed in the inner adhesive ring, and an inner adhesive strip that is spirally coiled is also provided between the outer adhesive ring and the inner adhesive ring.
[0013] Preferably, the area covered by the adhesive patch accounts for 20-60% of the bonding surface area of the cup body, more preferably 25-50%.
[0014] Preferably, the width of the adhesive strip is between 2mm and 15mm, more preferably 2.5mm to 5mm; and / or
[0015] The thickness of the adhesive strip is between 0.3mm and 2.5mm, preferably between 0.5mm and 1.2mm; and / or
[0016] The width-to-length ratio of the adhesive strip is less than 1:5.
[0017] Preferably, all the adhesive strips on the contact surface of the cup body are connected as one piece; or
[0018] The adhesive is made by winding and twisting a solid, linear adhesive strip.
[0019] Preferably, the adhesive includes an outer adhesive ring adjacent to the edge of the cup body and surrounding the cup body, and a plurality of inner adhesive strips located in the outer adhesive ring, wherein the area surrounded by the outer adhesive ring accounts for more than 80% of the bonding surface area of the cup body.
[0020] Preferably, the bra cup body includes a first bra cup and a second bra cup, which are connected by a connector. Both the first and second bra cups have a clearance area on their contact surfaces. A linear solid adhesive strip surrounds the clearance area to form an inner adhesive ring. The inner adhesive ring is eccentrically positioned on the first and second bra cups. In the left-right direction, the inner adhesive ring is located on the side closer to the connector. In the up-down direction, the inner adhesive ring is located on the upper side of the connector.
[0021] Preferably, the distance between the center points of the inner rubber rings of the first and second cups is between 14.5cm and 18cm.
[0022] Preferably, the cup body includes an outer fabric, an inner fabric, and a lining located between the outer fabric and the inner fabric, with the bonding surface formed on the inner fabric and the adhesive fixed to the inner fabric.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the breathable bra described in this utility model are mainly reflected in the following aspects: the adhesive strip is made of linear solid adhesive strips, which reduces the coverage area of the adhesive strip on the cup body, improves the breathability of the bra, and at the same time reduces the weight of the bra and improves wearing comfort.
[0024] Multiple nested adhesive rings are arranged in different areas of the bra cup body, so that different areas of the bra cup body can adhere to the user during use, resulting in good stability.
[0025] Multiple adhesive strips are installed in a grid pattern, and the strips adhere to each other to improve the adhesion of the adhesive.
[0026] The design incorporates a spirally coiled solid adhesive strip, which is distributed across different areas of the bra cup, enhancing the stability of the adhesion between the bra cup and the user.
[0027] An outer rubber ring is provided, with multiple inner rubber strips within it. The outer rubber ring is used to bond the edges of the bra cup body, preventing the edges of the bra cup body from rolling up and ensuring good stability when worn.
[0028] By setting up interconnected inner adhesive strips, the strips can interact with each other, further enhancing the adhesion strength; by setting up discretely distributed inner adhesive strips, the distribution range of the inner adhesive strips is increased, further enhancing the adhesion strength.
[0029] By setting a spirally coiled inner adhesive strip in the outer adhesive ring, the inner adhesive strip is distributed in different areas of the cup body while achieving adhesion at the edge of the cup body, thus improving the stability of the adhesion.
[0030] By creating a buffer zone to avoid contact between the bra and the user's nipples, the bra's comfort is enhanced. An inner rubber ring further prevents contact between the bra and the nipples while ensuring a stable adhesion between the bra and the front of the breast.
[0031] Setting the adhesive patch coverage area on the bonding surface of the bra body to 20%-60% avoids situations where the adhesive patch coverage area is too small, making the bra unusable, or too large, increasing the bra's weight and reducing breathability. By setting the upper and lower limits of the adhesive patch coverage area, the reliability of the bra's adhesion is ensured, while also enabling the bra to be reused and further reducing its weight.
[0032] By setting the adhesive strip width to 2mm-15mm, the thickness to 0.3mm-2.5mm, and the width-to-length ratio to be less than 1:5, the system can avoid situations where the adhesive strip is too narrow, leading to reduced adhesion, or too wide, leading to increased bra weight. By setting the adhesive strip width, the reliability of the adhesive strip and the bra's application is further guaranteed.
[0033] The integrated adhesive strip enhances the adhesive's stickiness, and the continuous application of the strip through the applicator head facilitates processing and increases production efficiency.
[0034] The adhesive is made by winding and twisting a solid strip of adhesive. This arrangement allows the adhesive to be continuously coated in a linear fashion in one go by the adhesive coating equipment, thus improving production efficiency.
[0035] By setting a first cup and a second cup, and connecting the first cup and the second cup through a connector, the user's breasts appear more upright through the combined action of the cup body and the inner rubber ring.
[0036] This invention reduces the area covered by the adhesive strips on the bra cup by using a linear adhesive strip to form an adhesive patch, thereby improving the breathability of the bra, reducing its weight, and enhancing wearing comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. In this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0048] It should be noted that when one element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to and integrated with the other element, or there may be an intervening element present. The terms "mounted," "one end," "the other end," and similar expressions used in this invention are for illustrative purposes only.
[0049] As shown in Figures 1-8, this embodiment provides a breathable bra, including a cup body 1 and an adhesive patch disposed on the contact surface of the cup body 1. The contact surface of the cup body 1 refers to the surface of the cup body 1 that comes into contact with human skin. The cup body 1 is made of a breathable material, and the adhesive patch is made of a flexible material. At least a portion of the adhesive patch is formed by a closed or open linear solid adhesive strip 3. The area within the adhesive patch not covered by the adhesive strip forms a breathable zone 2, that is, breathable through the cup body 1. "Closed" means that the linear solid adhesive strip 3 forms a closed area, and correspondingly, "open" means that the linear solid adhesive strip 3 forms a non-closed area, including the case where multiple linear solid adhesive strips 3 extend discontinuously (as shown in Figure 8). Since at least a portion of the adhesive tape is formed by a solid linear adhesive strip 3, the area covered by the adhesive tape on the contact surface of the cup body 1 can be reduced, thereby reducing the area of adhesion between the adhesive tape and the breast, improving the breathability of the bra, and also reducing the weight of the bra, thus improving wearing comfort. The term "solid" adhesive strip refers to an adhesive strip without any artificially created ventilation holes.
[0050] Referring to Embodiment 1 in Figure 1 and Embodiment 2 in Figure 2, the adhesive includes multiple closed / quasi-closed adhesive rings formed by the linear solid adhesive strips 3, with the multiple adhesive rings nested sequentially from the inside out. Multiple nested adhesive rings are provided, distributed in different areas of the cup body 1, so that different areas of the cup body 1 can adhere to the user during use, resulting in good stability. "Quasi-closed" refers to a gap between the end of one linear solid adhesive strip 3 and another linear solid adhesive strip 3, thus forming a non-closed area.
[0051] Referring to Embodiment 3 shown in Figure 3; the adhesive includes multiple linear solid adhesive strips 3, which are distributed in a grid pattern; the multiple linear solid adhesive strips 3 are arranged in a grid pattern, and the linear solid adhesive strips 3 are bonded to each other, thereby improving the adhesion of the adhesive.
[0052] Referring to Embodiment 4 shown in Figure 4 and Embodiment 5 shown in Figure 5, at least a portion of the adhesive is formed by spirally winding the linear solid adhesive strip 3. The spirally wound linear solid adhesive strip 3 is distributed in different areas of the bra cup body, improving the stability of the adhesion between different areas of the bra cup body and the user.
[0053] The adhesive includes an outer adhesive ring 4 adjacent to and surrounding the edge of the cup body 1, and a plurality of inner adhesive strips 5 located within the outer adhesive ring 4. The outer adhesive ring 4 is provided, and the plurality of inner adhesive strips 5 are provided within the outer adhesive ring 4. The outer adhesive ring 4 is used for bonding the edge of the cup body 1, thus preventing the edge of the cup body 1 from rolling up and ensuring good wearing stability.
[0054] Referring to Embodiment 1 shown in Figure 1 and Embodiment 2 shown in Figure 2; a plurality of closed / quasi-closed rubber rings formed by the linear solid rubber strips 3 form an outer rubber ring 4 and a plurality of inner rubber strips 5 located in the outer rubber ring 4; wherein the outermost closed / quasi-closed rubber ring is the outer rubber ring 4; and the rubber ring outside the outermost closed / quasi-closed rubber ring is the inner rubber strip 5.
[0055] Referring to Embodiment 3 shown in Figure 3; both the outer rubber ring 4 and the inner rubber strip 5 are made of coiled solid linear rubber strips 3; in a preferred embodiment, some of the inner rubber strips 5 are connected to each other. By setting the inner rubber strips 5 to be connected to each other, the inner rubber strips 5 can interact with each other, further improving the adhesion of the adhesive.
[0056] Referring to Embodiment Six shown in Figure 6, both the outer adhesive ring 4 and the inner adhesive strip 5 are formed by coiling a solid linear adhesive strip 3. In a preferred embodiment, the plurality of inner adhesive strips 5 are discretely distributed within the outer adhesive ring 4. By setting the discretely distributed inner adhesive strips 5, the distribution range of the inner adhesive strips 5 is increased, further improving the adhesion strength. The discretely distributed inner adhesive strips 5 can be solid linear inner adhesive strips (as shown in Figure 6); the solid linear inner adhesive strips can extend along the length direction of the cup body 1, or along the width direction of the cup body 1, or be arranged in an arc shape within the outer adhesive ring 4.
[0057] Referring to Embodiment 7 shown in Figure 7; the outer rubber ring 4 is formed by coiling a linear solid rubber strip 3; the inner rubber strip 5 is a dotted solid inner rubber strip; the dotted solid inner rubber strip is discretely distributed within the outer rubber ring 4.
[0058] Referring to Embodiment 4 shown in Figure 4 and Embodiment 5 shown in Figure 5; the inner adhesive strip 5 located in the outer adhesive ring 4 is spirally coiled; by setting the spirally coiled inner adhesive strip 5 in the outer adhesive ring 4, the inner adhesive strip 5 is distributed in different areas of the cup body while achieving the adhesion of the edge of the cup body, thereby improving the stability of the adhesion.
[0059] The area covered by the adhesive patch accounts for 20-60% of the contact surface area of the bra cup body 1, preferably 25-50%. This avoids the situation where the adhesive patch coverage area is too small, resulting in the bra not being reusable; it also avoids the situation where the adhesive patch coverage area is too large, resulting in increased bra weight and reduced breathability. By setting the upper and lower limits of the adhesive patch coverage area, the reliability of bra adhesion and use is ensured, while enabling bra reuse and further reducing the weight of the bra.
[0060] In a preferred embodiment, the width of the adhesive strip is between 2mm and 15mm, preferably between 2.5mm and 5mm.
[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the adhesive strip is between 0.3mm and 2.5mm, preferably between 0.5mm and 1.2mm.
[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the width-to-length ratio of the adhesive strip is less than 1:5; preferably 0.5:5.
[0063] By setting the adhesive strip width to 2mm-15mm, the thickness to 0.3mm-2.5mm, and the width-to-length ratio to be less than 1:5, the system can avoid situations where the adhesive strip is too narrow, leading to reduced adhesion, or too wide, leading to increased bra weight. By setting the adhesive strip width, the reliability of the adhesive strip and the bra's application is further guaranteed.
[0064] In a preferred embodiment, all adhesive strips on the bonding surface of the cup body 1 are connected as a single unit; as shown in Figures 1 and 5, the integrated adhesive strips improve the adhesion of the adhesive, and the integrated adhesive strips can be continuously applied by the applicator, which facilitates processing and increases production efficiency.
[0065] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG5, the adhesive strip is formed by winding a solid linear adhesive strip 3. This winding arrangement allows the adhesive strip to be continuously coated in a linear fashion in one pass using an adhesive coating device, improving production efficiency.
[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the area enclosed by the outer adhesive ring 4 accounts for more than 80% of the contact surface area of the cup body; preferably, the area enclosed by the outer adhesive ring 4 accounts for 90% of the contact surface area of the cup body 1. This arrangement of the outer adhesive ring 4 close to the edge of the cup body 1 further improves the reliability of edge adhesion of the cup body 1.
[0067] Referring to Figure 4, in a preferred embodiment, the adhesive patch includes an inner adhesive ring 6 disposed within an outer adhesive ring 4. An avoidance area 11 is formed within the inner adhesive ring 6, and a spirally coiled inner adhesive strip 5 is further disposed between the outer adhesive ring 4 and the inner adhesive ring 6. By forming the avoidance area 11, the patch avoids contact with the user's nipples, further improving the bra's wearing comfort. Simultaneously, the inner adhesive ring 6 not only avoids contact between the patch and the user's nipples but also ensures the stability of the patch's adhesion to the front of the breast.
[0068] Referring to Figures 1-3 and 5-7, the bra cup body 1 includes a first bra cup 100 and a second bra cup 200. The first bra cup 100 and the second bra cup 200 are connected by a connector 300. Both the first bra cup 100 and the second bra cup 200 have a relief area 11 on their contact surfaces to avoid the user's nipples.
[0069] Referring to Figures 1-2; in a preferred embodiment, a linear solid rubber strip surrounds the avoidance area 11 to form an inner rubber ring 6.
[0070] In a preferred embodiment, the inner rubber ring 6 is eccentrically positioned on the first cup 100 and the second cup 200. In the left-right direction, the inner rubber ring 6 is located closer to the connector 300, and in the up-down direction, the inner rubber ring 6 is located on the upper side of the connector 300. By configuring the first cup 100 and the second cup 200, and connecting them via the connector 300, the combined effect of the cup body 1 and the inner rubber ring 6 can make the user's breasts appear more upright.
[0071] In a preferred embodiment, the distance between the center points of the inner rubber rings of the first cup 100 and the second cup 200 is between 14.5cm and 18cm.
[0072] In a preferred embodiment, the cup body 1 includes an outer fabric (not shown), an inner fabric (not shown), and a lining (not shown) located between the outer and inner fabrics. The bonding surface is formed on the inner fabric, and the adhesive is fixed to the inner fabric. Preferably, both the outer and inner fabrics are fiber fabrics, the lining is a mesh layer, and the adhesive made of flexible material is a silicone adhesive.
