Multi-sized Wireless Push-up Brassiere with Adjustable Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bras often lack versatility and comfort, particularly underwire bras that provide substantial support but are uncomfortable, and generic market offerings that fail to accommodate diverse sizes and preferences.
Innovation Solution
A multi-sized wireless push-up brassiere design featuring adjustable cup and shoulder straps, internal knit mesh with bias-cut layers for enhanced elasticity, and a durable elastic back strap with sliding loops for customizable fit, eliminating the need for underwires and offering both push-up and push-in support.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If underwire bras are used to provide substantial support, then breast support is improved, but comfort deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the underwire component from the bra structure entirely, extracting the harmful element while maintaining support functionality through alternative means (adjustable straps, cup construction, and elastic materials)
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the physical parameters of the support system by using elastic materials with varying degrees of stretch and recovery, adjustable strap tensions, and molded cup structures to provide support without rigid underwires
2Ease of manufacture
If generic bras are produced for the market, then manufacturing simplicity is improved, but adaptability to various sizes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention creates a universal bra design with multiple adjustment mechanisms (shoulder straps, back straps, cup sizing) that can accommodate various body types and sizes, allowing a single basic model to serve multiple customer needs
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces dynamic adjustment capabilities through removable and adjustable straps, allowing the bra to adapt to different wearers and preferences while maintaining a standardized base construction
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple bra sizes are produced to accommodate all customers, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity and inventory requirements deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
By designing a standardized bra platform with modular adjustment features, the invention reduces the need for multiple specialized size variants, allowing manufacturers to produce fewer base models that can be adjusted to fit various customers
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
Provides superior breast support and adjustability, accommodating various sizes and preferences while ensuring comfort and versatility, reducing inventory needs for manufacturers and enhancing the wearer's confidence with a complete support solution.
Implementation Method 1
The layers of mesh are cut on their bottom edge at a bias or at an oblique angle to the parallel and perpendicular mesh web matrix. Cutting the mesh material in this manner yields extra elasticity properties for additional support of the wearer's breasts. Specifically, the bias cut on the lower sling mesh layers provides optimum elasticity creating an upward vertical or push-up force and an inward horizontal or push-in force
Implementation Method 2
The back strap is constructed of a durable elastic strap type material having extra material in the weave (due to interlacing at right angles making longitudinal and lateral threads). Hence, the strap material employed will not narrow significantly when stretched and will provide considerable snap back strength (similar to spring force)

AI summary
A wireless push-up brasserie having unique construction providing lift and support is disclosed. A cup portion has innovative materials, fabric cuts, seams and layers providing push-up and push-in to a wearer's bust line. Further to the enhanced look, the invention also provides substantial comfort and feel. Specialized elastic bands are additionally included to shoulder straps and a chest strap providing lift similar to spring force. The invention also adds versatility to its design to include size adjustment and optional crisscrossed back straps or adjusted to be worn as a halter around the wearer's neck.
