Brassiere Lifting Structure for Edge-to-Center Bust Shaping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional brassieres fail to effectively provide pronounced bust shaping and support due to reliance on shoulder strap adjustments, lacking sufficient cup-body convergence and gathering forces.
Innovation Solution
A brassiere design featuring a lifting structure on the inner side of the cup body that applies gathering forces from the edges toward the center, comprising multiple overlapping lifting members made of elastic materials, secured via stitched seams or adhesive film, and optionally coated with anti-slip materials.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If conventional brassiere designs rely solely on shoulder strap or underband adjustments to generate gathering forces, then the structure remains simple, but the bust shaping effect is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The cup body is segmented into multiple functional zones with different lifting members (first lifting member for upward lifting, second lifting member for lateral tension) that work independently but cooperatively to achieve comprehensive bust shaping
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from single-dimension adjustment (shoulder strap only) to multi-dimension force application by introducing lifting members that operate in vertical, lateral, and diagonal directions simultaneously within the cup body structure
2Force
If conventional designs use only shoulder strap adjustments, then manufacturing is easier, but cup-body convergence and gathering forces are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The lifting members are pre-configured within the cup body structure during manufacturing to automatically generate gathering forces when worn, eliminating the need for complex adjustable mechanisms and reducing wear-time adjustment requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The lifting members are integrated directly into the cup body as a unified structure rather than separate components, combining support and shaping functions into a single manufactured unit that simplifies production while enhancing force generation
3Shape
If the lifting structure spans the entire cup body, then gathering effect is maximized, but comfort and adaptability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the cup body are assigned different lifting member configurations tailored to local anatomical requirements, with varying densities and orientations of lifting members in different zones to match diverse breast shapes and preferences
