C-Shaped Cup Bra for Exposure and Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional bra designs fail to support modern fashion trends, hinder nursing, and complicate medical procedures, as they cover the breasts, causing discomfort and requiring removal for exposure, which can damage the bra and be unsuitable for active wear or medical measurements.
Innovation Solution
A nudity support bra with C-shaped cups that lift from the bottom and support from the sides without covering the breasts, featuring a halter neck strap and back clasp, allowing full exposure while providing shape and comfort, suitable for revealing clothing and medical procedures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional bra designs are used, then breast coverage and support are provided, but the breasts cannot be exposed for modern fashion, nursing, or medical procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The bra is divided into separate functional components: C-shaped cups that provide support from the bottom and sides, and a separate front panel that can be removed or opened to allow breast exposure. This segmentation enables the bra to maintain support functionality while allowing exposure when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The bra incorporates a dynamic front panel that can be in different states (closed for coverage, open for exposure). This dynamic element allows the bra to adapt between providing full coverage for fashion purposes and allowing exposure for nursing or medical procedures.
2Ease of operation
If adhesive bras are used to support revealing clothing, then breast support is provided, but they do not adhere well during active wear and require removal for nursing
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the adhesive component entirely, replacing it with a mechanical support structure consisting of C-shaped cups and straps. This extraction eliminates the adherence problems of adhesive bras while maintaining breast support functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The C-shaped cups act as an intermediary mechanism between the bra structure and the breasts, providing support through a mechanical lever system rather than direct adhesion. This intermediary approach allows support without requiring adhesive properties.
3Ease of operation
If traditional bras with removable lining are used for nursing, then breast exposure is possible, but the bra structure is damaged and nursing adds discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The bra is segmented into a permanent support structure (C-shaped cups and straps) and a separate front panel. The front panel can be opened or removed without affecting the structural integrity of the support components, allowing nursing while preserving bra strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The bra is pre-designed with an openable front panel configuration that allows easy access for nursing without requiring forceful removal or damage to the structure. The panel is prepared in advance to be easily opened or detached.
4Ease of manufacture
If bras are designed for coverage, then modesty and support are provided, but medical procedures requiring breast exposure are hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The bra structure is segmented into permanent support elements and a removable/front-openable panel. This segmentation allows the simple C-shaped cups to remain while adding the functional capability for exposure, minimizing overall design complexity.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a nudity support bra that lifts the breasts of the wearer from the bottom and supports breasts from the sides without covering the breasts. The bra has a pair of C-shaped cups, each having a bottom edge that pushes the breast upwards, and a side edge that pushes the breast inwards. A separate halter neck strap is attached to the side edge of the C-shaped cups and is secured behind the neck of a user, in addition to a back strap having a clasp for securing around the back of the user. The innovation also includes a strapless and a sports wear design. The cups further support and shape the sides of the breasts from the undersides without covering the breasts, thereby allowing revealing clothing to function as designed, enabling women to nurse without removing their bra or a portion of their bra and supporting modern medical procedures of the breast.
