Abstract
This invention comprises a brassiere strap that is mounted to a fastener, either removably or permanently, with a fastener that can be removably mounted to the backstrap assembly and cups of a brassiere. The movable fasteners permit adjustment of the brassiere straps into a plurality of different arrangements, depending upon the shape, outfit and activity of the wearer. The brassiere straps and fasteners can be made of transparent or translucent materials which may be colour tinted so as to appear virtually invisible against the wearer's skin. The brassiere straps can also be removed altogether.
Description
UNIVERSAL BRASSIERE STRAP AND FASTENER
Background of the Invention A wide variety of brassieres exist which are worn dependent upon the outfit, the shape, and the activity of the wearer. A brassiere is usually comprised of two cups situated on the anterior portion of the brassiere, for cradling the breasts of the wearer, attached to a backstrap assembly that comprises the posterior of the brassiere. The backstrap assembly can consist of either interlocking backstraps for posterior release and adjustment, or a single backstrap, either of which holds the brassiere in place. The cups are joined with a web of material, using interlocking materials for the web if the brassiere is detachable on its anterior side. Most brassieres provide for additional support by having shoulder straps leading from each cup to the backstrap assembly. There are times when the wearer will want the additional support afforded by having shoulder straps, but will not want those shoulder straps to be apparent, or will want to change the locus of support as needed based upon the wearer, the outfit, and the activity.
For example, when wearing a strapless outfit, the wearer will choose a strapless brassiere for better aesthetic appreciation of the outfit as compared with wearing the same outfit and a brassiere with shoulder straps. If the wearer were to be dressed in an evening gown with only one strap over a shoulder, it would not be aesthetic for the wearer to be wearing a standard two-strap brassiere. Similarly, if the wearer sports an outfit with a neck strap, the wearer would have difficulty finding an appropriate brassiere to wear for providing the requisite breast support in an aesthetic and discrete configuration of the brassiere.
Finally, if the wearer sports an outfit made, at least in part from relatively sheer material, the wearer would not necessarily want the shoulder straps of the brassiere to show through the sheer material.
Summary of the Invention This invention is a removable brassiere strap created using a brassiere strap fastener that allows the wearer to move or remove the brassiere straps that normally sit upon each of the 40128395.2 shoulders of the wearer. Further, if the wearer prefers to wear transparent brassiere straps, then the fasteners at the ends of the brassiere straps may be made from transparent materials, so as to give the wearer proper support using materials that are difficult to see and pass unnoticed when worn against the wearer's skin. The brassiere strap fasteners are designed so that the wearer can removably fasten the brassiere strap onto the brassiere strap fastener or mount the brassiere strap onto the fastener directly.
Brassiere straps that can be placed in virtually any conformation on a brassiere allow the wearer to arrange the brassiere so as to provide proper support while preserving the style of the outfit. For example, while wearing a dress that covers only one shoulder, the wearer can remove the brassiere strap that would normally sit upon the bare shoulder.
Further, the brassiere strap can sit upon the covered shoulder, but be used to support the breast of the uncovered shoulder by looping around the neck of the wearer. Such adjustments or brassiere strap substitutions cannot be made on conventional brassieres with shoulder straps.
In another example, the wearer of a dress that loops around the wearer's neck, but which does not sit on either shoulder would not want to wear a conventional brassiere.
Using this invention, the wearer could remove the brassiere straps from the backstrap of the brassiere and attach a brassiere strap to both cups and place it around the wearer's neck for support.

Detailed Description of the Invention Referring to Figure 1 of the drawings, cups 10 are joined by material 15.
Backstraps 20 are shown on either side of cups 10. Shoulder straps 30 are mounted to backstraps 20 and cups 10 through fasteners 40. The joining of fasteners 40 to brassiere straps 30 can be done removably, using clips 35, or permanently. Figure 1 illustrates both methods for joining the brassiere straps 30 to the fasteners 40.
The shoulder strap marked 1 is looped through rear slot 36 on clip 35, and is mounted to tensile sliding adjuster 38. Hook 37 on clip 35 is hooked into fasteners 40 through aperture 46. The fasteners 40 that are removably joined to shoulder straps 30 are shown in figure 1 in the unclasped or open position.
The shoulder strap marked 2 is looped through rear slot 47 and is mounted to tensile sliding adjuster 38. The fasteners 40 that are removably joined to shoulder straps 30 are shown in figure 1 clasped on cup 10 and backstrap 20.
Tensile sliding adjusters 38 allows the wearer to adjust the length and the tension of brassiere straps 30, permitting the wearer to position shoulder straps 30 in different configurations, based upon the desired aesthetic and the wearer's comfort.
40128395.2 -$-Figure 2 shows an embodiment of fastener 40 which incorporates clasping base 110, onto which top clasping member 130 is mounted so as to rotate between an open and locked position. Actuating mechanism 150 is also mounted to clasping base 110, and also rotates between open and locked positions. The rotation of the actuating mechanism 150 causes the top clasping member 130 to move synchronously with the actuating mechanism between the open and locked positions for the actuating mechanism and the top clasping member.
A perspective view of clasping base 110 is shown in Figure 3. Side supports 115 and rear support 125 are moulded for retaining top clasping member 130 and actuating mechanism 150 through slots 116 and 126 respectively. Shoulder strap 30 can be inserted through rear slot 47 for joining fastener 40 to shoulder strap 30. Alternatively, shoulder strap 30 can be inserted through clip 35 at its rear slot 36, and hook 37 of clip 35 can be inserted through side apertures 46 that open into rear slot 47. Both configurations are shown in Figure 1. Also shown on clasping base 110 are clasping teeth 111 that are interspersed with a complimentary set of clasping teeth 131 located on top clasping member 130, shown in figures 5 and 6.
There are also protrusions 118 lining the inside walls of side supports 115.
These protrusions create a spring effect to push top clasping member 130 towards either a fully open or fully closed position, depending on the position through which the wearer has rotated top actuating member 150.
Figure 4 shows a continuous aperture 46 passing through the entire length between side supports 115 and rear support 125, for insertion of hook 37 into fastener 40.
Figure 4 also shows, with dashed lines, rear slot 47 which transcends the entire thickness of rear support 125, to permit direct insertion of shoulder strap 30 into fastener 40.
Figure 5 shows a top view of clasping base 110, onto which top clasping member 130 is closed. Rear support 125 and side supports 115 have aperture 46, shown in dashed lines, extending continuously through the entire width of clasping base 110. Aperture 46 is of sufficient diameter for the attachment of hook 37 to fastener 40. Rear slot 47 is shown centred between side supports 115, with a length and width which corresponds approximately to the thickness and width respectively of the shoulder strap to be inserted.
Side supports 115 and rear support 125 are shown as moulded from one common piece of material, however, 40128395.2 they can also be discrete pieces of material that are mounted together on clasping base 110.
Figure 5 also shows groove 127 for receiving latches 137 on top clasping member 130.
Figure 6 shows an elevation view of top clasping member 130, while figure 7 shows a view of the clasping surface. Top clasping member 130 is comprised of clasping teeth 131, and tabs 136 for insertion into slots 116 on clasping base 110. Slit 132 provides flexibility and greater freedom of movement in top clasping member 130, making tabs 136 easier to insert into slots 116. Latches 137 slide into groove 127 and provide an axis of rotation for top clasping member 130.
Actuating mechanism 150 is comprised of tabs 156 for mounting actuating mechanism 150 pivotally about tabs 156 into slots 126, lever 152, and actuator 155. The wearer moves lever 152 to actuate the clasping or the release of fastener 40. As the lever 152 rotates through its range of motion, from an open configuration to a clasped one, there is an inflection point after 1 S which, as the actuator 155 continues towards the clasped position, actuating mechanism 150 ceases to resist the clasping motion and favours moving into the closed position.
The inflection point occurs where actuator 155 has engaged the surface of top clasping member 130, occurring at that point where the lever 152 no longer favours moving into an opened nor closed configuration for actuating mechanism 150. Once the actuator has moved past the inflection point on top clasping member 130, the actuating mechanism 150 will favour a closed clasp position and force top clasping member 130 onto clasping base 110 until the wearer decides to open fastener 40. Similarly, when fastener 40 is opened, once actuator 155 has passed the inflection point, actuating mechanism 150 will tend to accelerate the opening of fastener 40 in a spring-like manner.
In another preferred embodiment of fastener 40, the actuating mechanism 150 and top clasping member 130 can be incorporated into a combined clasping actuator, using an inflection point on the clasping base 110 for creating tension to hold the fastener open or clasped, as the wearer requires.
40128395.2 In another preferred embodiment, brassiere straps 30 are made from transparent or translucent materials and may be tinted with various colours, either transparently or translucently or opaquely, so as to be virtually invisible to observers.
Similarly, the wearer may desire have fasteners that are also virtually invisible to observers. The constituent elements of fastener 40 can be made from transparent or translucent materials such as nylon, polyurethane, polyethylene terephthalate, or acetal and may be tinted with various colours, either transparently or translucently or opaquely, so as to be virtually invisible to observers.

Further, if the wearer prefers to wear transparent brassiere straps, then the fasteners at the ends of the brassiere straps may be made from transparent materials, so as to give the wearer proper support using materials that are difficult to see and pass unnoticed when worn against the wearer's skin. The brassiere strap fasteners are designed so that the wearer can removably fasten the brassiere strap onto the brassiere strap fastener or mount the brassiere strap onto the fastener directly.
Brassiere straps that can be placed in virtually any conformation on a brassiere allow the wearer to arrange the brassiere so as to provide proper support while preserving the style of the outfit. For example, while wearing a dress that covers only one shoulder, the wearer can remove the brassiere strap that would normally sit upon the bare shoulder.
Further, the brassiere strap can sit upon the covered shoulder, but be used to support the breast of the uncovered shoulder by looping around the neck of the wearer. Such adjustments or brassiere strap substitutions cannot be made on conventional brassieres with shoulder straps.
In another example, the wearer of a dress that loops around the wearer's neck, but which does not sit on either shoulder would not want to wear a conventional brassiere.
Using this invention, the wearer could remove the brassiere straps from the backstrap of the brassiere and attach a brassiere strap to both cups and place it around the wearer's neck for support.

Detailed Description of the Invention Referring to Figure 1 of the drawings, cups 10 are joined by material 15.
Backstraps 20 are shown on either side of cups 10. Shoulder straps 30 are mounted to backstraps 20 and cups 10 through fasteners 40. The joining of fasteners 40 to brassiere straps 30 can be done removably, using clips 35, or permanently. Figure 1 illustrates both methods for joining the brassiere straps 30 to the fasteners 40.
The shoulder strap marked 1 is looped through rear slot 36 on clip 35, and is mounted to tensile sliding adjuster 38. Hook 37 on clip 35 is hooked into fasteners 40 through aperture 46. The fasteners 40 that are removably joined to shoulder straps 30 are shown in figure 1 in the unclasped or open position.
The shoulder strap marked 2 is looped through rear slot 47 and is mounted to tensile sliding adjuster 38. The fasteners 40 that are removably joined to shoulder straps 30 are shown in figure 1 clasped on cup 10 and backstrap 20.
Tensile sliding adjusters 38 allows the wearer to adjust the length and the tension of brassiere straps 30, permitting the wearer to position shoulder straps 30 in different configurations, based upon the desired aesthetic and the wearer's comfort.
40128395.2 -$-Figure 2 shows an embodiment of fastener 40 which incorporates clasping base 110, onto which top clasping member 130 is mounted so as to rotate between an open and locked position. Actuating mechanism 150 is also mounted to clasping base 110, and also rotates between open and locked positions. The rotation of the actuating mechanism 150 causes the top clasping member 130 to move synchronously with the actuating mechanism between the open and locked positions for the actuating mechanism and the top clasping member.
A perspective view of clasping base 110 is shown in Figure 3. Side supports 115 and rear support 125 are moulded for retaining top clasping member 130 and actuating mechanism 150 through slots 116 and 126 respectively. Shoulder strap 30 can be inserted through rear slot 47 for joining fastener 40 to shoulder strap 30. Alternatively, shoulder strap 30 can be inserted through clip 35 at its rear slot 36, and hook 37 of clip 35 can be inserted through side apertures 46 that open into rear slot 47. Both configurations are shown in Figure 1. Also shown on clasping base 110 are clasping teeth 111 that are interspersed with a complimentary set of clasping teeth 131 located on top clasping member 130, shown in figures 5 and 6.
There are also protrusions 118 lining the inside walls of side supports 115.
These protrusions create a spring effect to push top clasping member 130 towards either a fully open or fully closed position, depending on the position through which the wearer has rotated top actuating member 150.
Figure 4 shows a continuous aperture 46 passing through the entire length between side supports 115 and rear support 125, for insertion of hook 37 into fastener 40.
Figure 4 also shows, with dashed lines, rear slot 47 which transcends the entire thickness of rear support 125, to permit direct insertion of shoulder strap 30 into fastener 40.
Figure 5 shows a top view of clasping base 110, onto which top clasping member 130 is closed. Rear support 125 and side supports 115 have aperture 46, shown in dashed lines, extending continuously through the entire width of clasping base 110. Aperture 46 is of sufficient diameter for the attachment of hook 37 to fastener 40. Rear slot 47 is shown centred between side supports 115, with a length and width which corresponds approximately to the thickness and width respectively of the shoulder strap to be inserted.

Figure 6 shows an elevation view of top clasping member 130, while figure 7 shows a view of the clasping surface. Top clasping member 130 is comprised of clasping teeth 131, and tabs 136 for insertion into slots 116 on clasping base 110. Slit 132 provides flexibility and greater freedom of movement in top clasping member 130, making tabs 136 easier to insert into slots 116. Latches 137 slide into groove 127 and provide an axis of rotation for top clasping member 130.
Actuating mechanism 150 is comprised of tabs 156 for mounting actuating mechanism 150 pivotally about tabs 156 into slots 126, lever 152, and actuator 155. The wearer moves lever 152 to actuate the clasping or the release of fastener 40. As the lever 152 rotates through its range of motion, from an open configuration to a clasped one, there is an inflection point after 1 S which, as the actuator 155 continues towards the clasped position, actuating mechanism 150 ceases to resist the clasping motion and favours moving into the closed position.
The inflection point occurs where actuator 155 has engaged the surface of top clasping member 130, occurring at that point where the lever 152 no longer favours moving into an opened nor closed configuration for actuating mechanism 150. Once the actuator has moved past the inflection point on top clasping member 130, the actuating mechanism 150 will favour a closed clasp position and force top clasping member 130 onto clasping base 110 until the wearer decides to open fastener 40. Similarly, when fastener 40 is opened, once actuator 155 has passed the inflection point, actuating mechanism 150 will tend to accelerate the opening of fastener 40 in a spring-like manner.
In another preferred embodiment of fastener 40, the actuating mechanism 150 and top clasping member 130 can be incorporated into a combined clasping actuator, using an inflection point on the clasping base 110 for creating tension to hold the fastener open or clasped, as the wearer requires.
40128395.2 In another preferred embodiment, brassiere straps 30 are made from transparent or translucent materials and may be tinted with various colours, either transparently or translucently or opaquely, so as to be virtually invisible to observers.
Similarly, the wearer may desire have fasteners that are also virtually invisible to observers. The constituent elements of fastener 40 can be made from transparent or translucent materials such as nylon, polyurethane, polyethylene terephthalate, or acetal and may be tinted with various colours, either transparently or translucently or opaquely, so as to be virtually invisible to observers.
