Variable Padding Shape in Push-Up Bras for Size-Specific Cleavage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional push-up bras use the same padding shape across various cup sizes, failing to provide a graduated enhancement of cleavage that suits individual wearers appropriately within a range of sizes.
Innovation Solution
Designing push-up bras with varying pad shapes across different cup sizes, where the size and distribution of padding adjust to provide tailored cleavage enhancement, using fully molded polyurethane cups with distinct padding configurations for each cup size, such as A, B, C, AA, and D/DD, to offer customized enhancement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the same padding shape is used across all cup sizes, then manufacturing is simplified and cost is reduced, but the cleavage enhancement is not appropriately graduated for different wearers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by varying the padding shape and distribution specifically within different cup sizes (A, B, C, AA, D/DD) while maintaining consistency in other aspects. Each cup size receives customized padding configuration - for example, A cup has 100% padding coverage while D cup has 25% coverage - ensuring that each local variant (cup size) has the specific quality (padding amount) it needs for optimal cleavage enhancement.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different padding shapes are used for different cup sizes, then cleavage enhancement is appropriately graduated for each wearer, but manufacturing complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements parameter changes by systematically varying the padding coverage percentage across different cup sizes (100% for A cup, 75% for B cup, 50% for C cup, 25% for D cup). This parameter-based approach allows for graduated cleavage enhancement while maintaining a standardized padding component design, thereby controlling manufacturing complexity despite the variations.

AI summary
Disclosed in this specification is a range of push up bras. The range comprises different bra cup sizes, and offers a different amount of padding for different cup sizes in the same range. The different padding provided facilitates a better tailoring of the bra to the body type of the wearer. The padding occupies a decreasing area of the cup as the cup size increases. The centre of the padding is also gradually lowered with increasing cup size.
