Composite Soft Support Sizeless Bra Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional soft support bras restrict elasticity due to large-area silicone use, limiting size compatibility and causing compression or looseness issues, leading to a narrow body range and reduced product life.
Innovation Solution
A composite soft support sizeless bra design featuring a soft support rubber strip sandwiched between double-layer fabrics, connected by dot-shaped glues and all-elastic shoulder straps, maintaining elasticity and providing consistent support across various circumferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If large-area silicone material is used for bonding in soft support structure bra, then stronger support effect is achieved, but elasticity of the fabric is greatly restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the bonding area from the support function by using dot-shaped glues for bonding while using a separate soft support rubber strip for support. This allows the bonding areas to be small and non-restrictive to fabric elasticity, while the support function is provided by the dedicated rubber strip structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the support function from the bonding material by removing the silicone material from the soft support structure and placing it in a separate soft support rubber strip. This separation allows the bonding areas to maintain fabric elasticity while the support function is provided by the dedicated rubber strip.
2Strength
If large-area silicone material is used for bonding, then support effect is enhanced, but body size range compatible with same product becomes narrow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the bonding area from the support function by using dot-shaped glues for bonding while using a separate soft support rubber strip for support. This allows the bonding areas to be small and non-restrictive to fabric elasticity, while the support function is provided by the dedicated rubber strip structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent achieves universality by creating a sizeless bra design where the combination of elastic fabric and strategic soft support rubber strip placement provides effective support across multiple body sizes. The dot-shaped glue pattern and rubber strip configuration work together to adapt to different circumferences without requiring multiple size variants.
3Adaptability or versatility
If dispensing technology is used with glue material, then elasticity of fabric is maintained, but glue point position becomes light and thin leading to fatigue and looseness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the support function from the bonding material by removing the silicone material from the soft support structure and placing it in a separate soft support rubber strip. This separation allows the bonding areas to maintain fabric elasticity while the support function is provided by the dedicated rubber strip.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite materials by combining elastic fabric with soft support rubber strip and dot-shaped glues. The fabric provides elasticity and comfort, the rubber strip provides structured support, and the dot-shaped glues provide minimal bonding that doesn't restrict fabric movement, creating a composite structure that maintains both elasticity and support.

AI summary
A composite soft support sizeless bra includes a front piece, a soft support rubber strip, a rear piece and a shoulder strap. The soft support strip is arranged on an inner side of the front piece and is connected is connected to a bottom part of the front piece by the shoulder strap to form a W shape, a U-shape, a straight shape, an arc shape or a curved shape. The rear piece and the front piece are integrally formed. The shoulder strap is used to connect the front piece and the rear piece. The inner side of the front piece and/or the rear piece is provided with dot-shaped glues.
