Multi-Adjustable Backless Bra Mechanical Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing backless and strapless bras lack sufficient support and versatility, as they often rely on adhesives that fail under moisture and humidity, and do not allow for adjustable configurations to accommodate different fashion styles without visible straps, limiting their use for women with larger breasts.
Innovation Solution
A multi-adjustable bra design featuring detachable and adjustable straps, underwire cups, and a length-adjustable band that allows transformation into various configurations such as shoulder-strap, halter-neck, and backless styles, providing secure support without adhesives and visible straps.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If adhesive-based backless and strapless bras are used, then visible straps are eliminated, but support reliability deteriorates under moisture and humidity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces adhesive-based attachment with a mechanical fastening system consisting of detachable straps and adjustable bands. The straps can be securely fastened around the torso and adjusted to provide reliable mechanical support without relying on adhesives that fail under moisture and humidity conditions.
2Ease of manufacture
If fixed configuration bras are used, then manufacturing is simplified, but versatility deteriorates for different fashion styles
Solution Approach 1:
The bra is divided into separable components including detachable straps, adjustable bands, and modular cup assemblies. This segmentation allows the same basic bra structure to be reconfigured for different styles (strapless, halter, backless) by reattaching components in different configurations, maintaining manufacturing simplicity while achieving versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The bra incorporates dynamic adjustment features including adjustable strap lengths, repositionable band placements, and detachable strap configurations. These dynamic elements allow the bra to adapt to different fashion requirements and body types without requiring multiple separate bras, balancing ease of manufacture with configuration versatility.
3Device complexity
If non-detachable straps are used, then structural simplicity is maintained, but adaptability for different styles deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The strap system is segmented into detachable components that can be independently attached or removed. This allows the bra to maintain structural simplicity in its basic form while enabling style adaptability through optional attachment of different strap configurations (shoulder straps, halter straps, backless configurations) as needed.
4Adaptability or versatility
If adhesive attachment is used, then strapless configuration is achieved, but support for larger breasts deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces adhesive attachment with a mechanical fastening system featuring adjustable bands and detachable straps that can be securely tightened around the torso. This mechanical system provides sufficient support strength for larger breasts by allowing adjustable tension and secure anchoring points, while still achieving the strapless configuration when desired.
