Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional bras fail to accommodate women of different sizes comfortably, leading to improper fitting and exposure of breast tissue for many wearers.

Innovation Solution

A bra assembly with adjustable cup assemblies and an underband configuration that allows for separation and movement, incorporating stretchable fabric and adjustable closures to fit multiple bra sizes comfortably.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional bra is designed for a specific size, then it provides proper fit for that size, but it fails to accommodate wearers of different sizes, leading to improper fitting and exposure of breast tissue

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefit for multiple sizesVSAvoidproper fitting

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The bra is divided into separate cup assemblies that can move independently relative to each other and the underband. Each cup assembly is connected through fabric that allows separation and reconfiguration, enabling the bra to adapt to different breast sizes and shapes while maintaining proper coverage and support for each wearer.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The bra incorporates dynamic elements including stretchable fabric portions that allow the cup assemblies to move and adjust to different body sizes. The fabric's elastic properties enable the structure to transform from a fixed configuration to an adaptive one that accommodates various wearers comfortably.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the bra structure is made rigid to provide support, then it maintains structural integrity, but it cannot accommodate different sized wearers comfortably

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveadjustability for different sizesVSAvoidsupportive fit

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The bra uses stretchable fabric portions as flexible connections between cup assemblies and the underband. These fabric films provide both structural support and flexibility, allowing the rigid-looking cup structures to adapt to different body sizes while maintaining their supportive function through the elastic properties of the fabric.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films
