Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bra with improved closure means.
  • bras As is known, various types of bra are currently commercially available which have closures usually obtained by means of hook-and-eye clasps or by means of interlocking hooks of the most disparate types.
  • the aim of the invention is to solve the problem above described by providing a bra with improved closure means that allows to achieve a substantially "automatic" closure without requiring particular actions of any kind.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a bra in which the closure is particularly practical and versatile and at the same time allows very easy opening.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a bra with improved closure means that thanks to its particular constructive characteristics is capable of giving the greatest assurances of reliability and safety in use.
  • a still further object of the present invention is to provide a bra with improved closure means that can be obtained easily starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials and is also competitive from a merely economical standpoint.
  • a bra with improved closure means comprising two cups that are connected to back portions of the bra and a front or rear bra closure element, characterized in that said closure element is constituted by a closure of the magnetic type.
  • the bra with improved closure means typically comprises two cups 2, which are connected to the back portions 3.
  • the bra can have a rear closure with a closure element, generally designated by the reference numeral 4, that is arranged on back portions 3, or optionally the closure element can be arranged at the front between the two cups.
  • closure element is of the magnetic type, and in a preferred embodiment such closure element 4 comprises a first body 10 and a second body 12, both of which are flat and plate-shaped and form, at one end, a slot 13 for connection to the back portion 3 or to the cups in the case of a closure element arranged at the front.
  • the first plate-shaped body 10 is provided laterally with two recesses 14, which are arranged so as to correspond to two tabs 15 formed by the second body which are capable of providing a mechanical traction-based coupling.
  • the particularity of the invention is constituted by the fact that magnetic means are located on one of the bodies and a ferromagnetic portion is provided correspondingly on the other body; optionally, as shown in the figures, it is possible to provide disk-shaped permanent magnets 20 with mutually opposite polarities, which are fitted flush on the mating faces of the body 10 and of the body 11, so as to obtain mutual attraction.
  • the plate-shaped bodies are substantially flat and in order to avoid causing discomfort they are made of a material that is free from nickel and accordingly free from allergy-inducing components.
  • the materials used allow good resistance to washes without any damage.
  • the particular shape without edges prevents the closure from causing any discomfort to the wearer of the bra.
  • the materials used may be any according to requirements.
