Solution Overview

Problem

Existing shaping bras cause pinching and discomfort due to gaps between air chambers after expansion, affecting aesthetics and comfort.

Innovation Solution

A breast shaping device with a saccus unit and elastic pad unit, where the elastic pads are arranged on one side of the saccus adjacent to the breasts, limiting the inflation radian to enhance shaping and comfort.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If air chambers are expanded to enhance breast shaping effect, then the shaping effect is improved, but gaps between air chambers cause pinching and discomfort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebreast shaping effectVSAvoidpinching and discomfort
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

An elastic pad is introduced as an intermediary component between the air chamber and the breast. The elastic pad fills the gaps between air chambers and provides a smooth contact surface, thereby eliminating pinching and discomfort while maintaining the breast shaping effect achieved by air chamber expansion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic pad functions as a flexible intermediate layer that conforms to the breast surface. This flexible component ensures smooth contact and distributes pressure evenly, preventing the pinching effect caused by rigid air chamber gaps while preserving the shaping functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

2Object-affected harmful factors

If uniform pressure distribution is achieved to improve comfort, then comfort is improved, but shaping effect may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecomfortVSAvoidbreast shaping effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic pad is designed with differentiated local properties: it provides uniform pressure distribution across contact areas to ensure comfort, while the air chambers maintain their structured geometry to deliver focused shaping effect. This local quality differentiation resolves the contradiction between comfort and shaping effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The device reduces the phenomenon of empty cups in bras, enhances the shaping effect, and improves aesthetics and comfort by distributing pressure evenly and limiting expansion radian.

Implementation Method 1

an elastic pad unit, a radian of a surface, close to the breast side, of the saccus after inflation is limited to be less than a radian of the other side away from the breasts

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElasticity: Elasticity

Implementation Method 2

an air inlet pump and the air inlet valve which are communicated to the pair of channels and are communicated to each other

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectPressure increase: Pressure Increase

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a breast shaping device, including a saccus unit and an elastic pad unit. The saccus unit includes a saccus and an inflation and deflation assembly; the elastic pad unit is arranged at the saccus; a radian of a surface, close to the breast side, of the saccus after inflation is limited to be less than a radian of the other side away from the breast. The present disclosure uses the saccus unit to cooperate with the elastic pad unit to limit the shape, so that the pressure after the inflation faces one side, which not only reduces the phenomenon of empty cups in the bra, but also allows the breasts to be concentrated and lifted, showcasing the individuation of a user.
