Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a backless, strapless bra that provides breast enhancement and cleavage coverage without shifting, suitable for use under various clothing types, including low-cut dresses, without requiring additional clothing to conceal the bra.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable backless, strapless bra assembly featuring bra cups with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and a connector, combined with a stretchable fabric covering that conceals the bra cups and allows for customizable positioning and appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a backless, strapless bra uses non-permanent adhesives to secure the bra, then the bra can be worn with various clothing types, but the bra shifts from its desired position
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs disposable double-sided tape as a temporary adhesive solution that provides sufficient hold for the duration of wear. The tape is designed to be easily applied and removed without damaging the bra or clothing, resolving the contradiction by accepting that the adhesive is temporary yet functional for the intended use period.
Solution Approach 2:
The double-sided tape acts as an intermediary element between the bra and the user's skin, providing the necessary adhesion to prevent shifting. This mediator enables the bra to stay in position during wear while allowing for easy removal and repositioning if needed, balancing stability with adaptability.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If women wear additional clothing items to cover the bra, then the bra is concealed, but the user experiences reduced comfort and convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the bra with a decorative covering that serves dual purposes: it conceals the bra while also functioning as a fashionable accessory. The covering is integrated into the bra assembly, eliminating the need for separate clothing items and maintaining comfort by avoiding additional layers.
Solution Approach 2:
The covering is designed to be multi-functional, serving both as a concealing element and as a decorative component that can be worn as a standalone fashion item. This universality allows the covering to fulfill multiple roles without requiring additional clothing, thereby maintaining ease of operation and comfort.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If a covering is tightly fitted to the bra cups, then the covering provides good concealment, but the covering restricts adjustability and positioning
Solution Approach 1:
The covering is designed with elastic or stretchable material that allows it to dynamically adapt to the shape and position of the bra cups. This dynamic property enables the covering to maintain effective concealment while accommodating adjustments and repositioning of the bra, resolving the contradiction between tight fit and adjustability.
Solution Approach 2:
The covering incorporates materials or design features that allow changes in its physical parameters (such as elasticity, stretch, or looseness) to balance concealment effectiveness with adjustability. By enabling parameter changes, the covering can provide good coverage when needed while still allowing for positioning adjustments.
