Elastic Memory Foam Cleavage Spacer for Breast Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bras often fail to provide optimal breast positioning, comfort, and appearance in the cleavage area, as they do not adequately separate breasts, absorb perspiration, or offer concealment and decoration options suitable for various outfits and garment types.
Innovation Solution
A cleavage spacer made of elastic memory foam, which can be shaped and sized to fit different breast sizes and preferences, positioned between the breasts to widen and lift the cleavage area, and optionally decorated with a removable band for camouflage or aesthetic enhancement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If breasts are allowed to contact each other in the cleavage area, then comfort is reduced and appearance is compromised, but using traditional bras alone cannot adequately separate and position the breasts without requiring multiple bras for different outfits
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cleavage spacer as an intermediary device placed between the breasts in the cleavage area. This spacer acts as a mediator that physically separates and positions the breasts, resolving the positioning problem without requiring different bras for different outfits. The spacer can be inserted into a single bra to achieve various positioning effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention segments the breast support function by separating the bra structure from the positioning function. Instead of relying on the bra alone to provide both support and positioning, the cleavage spacer is introduced as a separate, insertable component that specifically addresses breast positioning in the cleavage area, allowing the same bra to work with different spacers for different outfits.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a bra is designed to provide adequate breast separation and positioning, then it may not be compatible with various outer garments, but using a single bra for multiple outfits limits positioning options
Solution Approach 1:
The cleavage spacer introduces dynamic adjustability to a static bra structure. The spacer can be inserted or removed, and different spacers with varying densities, shapes, and sizes can be used with the same bra to adapt to different positioning needs and outfit requirements, making the bra system versatile without compromising positioning capability.
3Ease of operation
If absorbent and soft material is placed adjacent to inner surfaces of breasts, then comfort is enhanced, but the cleavage area may become less concealed
Solution Approach 1:
The cleavage spacer applies local quality by providing absorbent and soft material specifically in the cleavage area where it is needed for comfort, while the rest of the bra and outer garments maintain their original concealment properties. The spacer's material properties are localized to the contact surfaces adjacent to the breasts, allowing comfort enhancement without compromising overall concealment.
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 cleavage spacer effectively separates breasts for enhanced comfort and appearance, absorbs perspiration, and provides concealment and decoration options, accommodating various bra styles and outer garments.
Implementation Method 1
a need exists for an accessory which can be placed in the cleavage area to at least provide some degree of concealment of a portion of the cleavage area or concealment of a portion of a bra or other undergarment in the cleavage area
Implementation Method 2
The cleavage spacer is a mass of elastic material, preferably in the form of a mass of memory foam
Implementation Method 3
The spacer of memory foam can have a variety of different geometries

AI summary
A mass of memory foam or similar elastic material is sized and shaped to fit within a cleavage area to space breasts away from the cleavage area and lift the breasts somewhat. The spacer includes a front surface opposite a rear surface and with a base portion opposite a top portion. The base portion is larger than the top portion. Side portions extend from the base portion to the top portion on opposite sides of the spacer. These side portions act upon the breasts to lift and separate the breasts from each other. A band can optionally be provided girding the spacer. The band can be provided as camouflage or decorations can be placed on the band to decorate the spacer. The bands can be replaceable to switch between appearance options.
