Solution Overview

Problem

Current bras are uncomfortable due to skin contact and limited in their application, as they require other clothing for use and lack versatility, leading to a reduced user experience.

Innovation Solution

A bra cover with a sling assembly and adjustable, removable design featuring bra straps, shoulder straps, bands, and textile components that allow for secure fixation and independent use without other garments, incorporating attachment and adjustment buckles for customization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional bra fixation methods are used (direct skin contact), then firm fixation is achieved, but comfort is reduced due to skin contact

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefirm fixationVSAvoidskin contact discomfort
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a sling assembly as an intermediary component between the bra and the body. The sling assembly includes shoulder straps that connect to the bra cups and extend over the shoulders, providing fixation without direct skin contact in sensitive areas. This mediator transfers the fixation function from direct bra-body contact to indirect contact through the sling structure, resolving the contradiction between firm fixation and comfort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If bras are designed to be exposed like suspenders for aesthetics, then visual appeal is improved, but versatility is reduced as they cannot be worn alone

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaesthetic designVSAvoidwearability without other clothing
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the bra with dual functionality: the bra cups can be worn attached to the sling assembly for aesthetic purposes, or the sling assembly can be worn independently as a supportive garment. The sling assembly serves multiple functions - it provides structural support, enables the bra to be worn alone, and allows various wearing configurations. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction between aesthetic design and versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Stability of the object's composition

If fixed bra structures are used, then structural stability is maintained, but adaptability is reduced for different people and applications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidapplicability to various people
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates adjustable elements in the sling assembly, including adjustable shoulder straps and connection mechanisms that allow customization. The sling assembly can be configured in different ways to accommodate various body types, sizes, and preferences. This dynamic adjustability maintains structural stability while enabling adaptation to different users and applications, resolving the contradiction between stability and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
