Definitions
- U.S. Patent No. 6,780,081 to Chen et al. describes a backless, strapless bra having cups held to a wearer's breasts with an adhesive.
- the device of the Chen et al. patent utilizes a connector between the cups of the bra which is intended to provide cleavage to a user's breasts.
- the device cannot be worn with outer garments having plunging necklines, as the connector and possibly the cups of the device will be visible.
- the device would provide little support for the underside of a wearer's breast.
- the device of the present invention provides a backless, strapless bra that provides support and/or cleavage to a wearer's breasts and the components of which are not visible, even when worn with a wide variety of revealing outer garments.
- a first aspect of the invention provides a backless and strapless bra comprising at least one cup member for supporting a front surface of a wearer's breast, and at least one support member for supporting an underside of a wearer's breast, wherein each cup member is unattached to any support member and any other cup member.
- a second aspect of the invention provides a backless and strapless bra comprising a set of cup members for supporting a front surface of a wearer's breast, a set of support members for supporting an underside of a wearer's breast, and at least one mesh member connecting a support member to at least one of a cup member and a second support member, wherein each cup member is unattached to any other cup member.
- a third aspect of the invention provides a backless and strapless bra comprising at least one cup member for supporting a front surface of a wearer's breast, and at least one support member for supporting an underside of a wearer's breast, wherein the at least one cup member and the at least one support member comprise sufficient adhesion to secure the cup member and the support member to a wearer's breast.
- a fourth aspect of the invention provides a backless and strapless bra comprising a pair of cup members for supporting a front surface of each of a wearer's breasts, and at least two support members for supporting an underside of each of a wearer's breasts, wherein a first cup member is unattached to a second cup member.
