Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of undergarments and more specifically to a backless and strapless multi-piece bra. according to the preamble of claim 1 and known from US-A-4 553 550 .
  • Bras have long been used to provide support to a wearer's breasts.
  • traditional bras are unacceptable when worn with backless or shoulderless outer garments, as various parts, including their straps, will be visible.
  • various backless and/or strapless bras have been developed for use with such outer garments.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 1A shows a front view of the device 1, comprising a round cup member 10 and a support member 20.
  • Support member 20 is depicted as an elongate member having squared ends 20a, 20b. One or both ends 20a, 20b may similarly be rounded.
  • Cup member 10 and support member 20 may each be composed of one or more of a number of materials, including, for example, cloth and silicone.
  • An exemplary cloth material is a tricote available from MBK Enterprises, Inc. of Chatsworth, CA, U.S.A.
  • cup member 10, support member 20, or both may be composed of a stretchable foam material.
  • cup member 10 may include various devices common to the manufacture of bras, including, for example, padding to provide the appearance of a larger breast.
  • FIG. 1B shows a front view of device 1 as it would be applied to a wearer.
  • Support member 20 resides along an underside of a wearer's breast while cup member 10 is placed along a front surface of the breast. While both cup member 10 and support member 20 are substantially flat before application, each conforms to the shape of a wearer's breast upon application. As shown, cup member 10 may partially or completely cover support member 20 when applied.
  • FIG. 1C shows device 1 with optional mesh member 40 connecting cup member 10 and support member 20.
  • Mesh member 40 may be of the same material or a different material as cup member 10 and support member 20.
  • FIG. 1D shows device 1 having a first support member 20 and a second support member 22 residing below first support member, and each residing below cup member 10.
  • First and second support members may be of the same or different materials.
  • FIG. 1E shows device 1 of FIG. 1D with optionally rounded ends 20a, 20b, 22a, 22b on each of first support member 20 and second support member 22. It should be appreciated that while each end of first support member 20 and second support member 22 is shown having a rounded shape, it is within the scope of the present invention that one end of either or both support members may be rounded while the other end is squared.
  • FIG. 1F shows a side view of device 1 as it would be located on a wearer's breast.
  • Cup member 10 and support member 20 are secured to a wearer's breast by an adhesive 30 along an inner surface of each of cup member 10 and support member 20.
  • Adhesive 30 may be provided upon one or both of cup member 10 and support member 20 or it may be applied to the inner surfaces of each by a wearer prior to application of device 1.
  • Adhesive 30 may cover one or more portions or an entire interior surface of cup member 10 and support member 20.
  • Substances suitable for use as adhesive 30 include skin-sensitive, pressure-sensitive, hypoallergenic, acrylate adhesives that are non-toxic and non-irritating to a wearer's skin. Such adhesives are available from, for example, 3M Inc. of St. Paul MN, U.S.A.
  • adhesive 30 is a layer of silicone having properties making it adhesive or "tacky" to the touch.
  • a material provides sufficient adhesion to a wearer's breast that cup member 10 and support member 20 are held in place and provide sufficient support to a wearer's breast but may be easily removed without causing discomfort to a wearer's skin.
  • cup member 10, support member 20, or both may be composed of such a silicone, obviating the need for a separate layer of adhesive 30.
  • Support member 20 is an elongate member placed substantially along an underside of a breast, providing support in direction A similar to that of an underwire in a traditional bra.
  • Cup member 10 is placed over a front surface of a breast, providing support in direction B, holding the breast toward the wearer's body.
  • a mesh member 40 may connect cup member 10 and support member 20.
  • mesh member 40 may provide additional support to a breast while still allowing the independent movement of cup member 10 and support member 20.
  • FIG. 1G shows a side view of device 1 as it would be located on a wearer's breast.
  • First support member 20 is connected to cup member 10 and second support member 22 by first mesh member 40 and second mesh member 42, respectively.
  • first mesh member 40 and second mesh member 42 are connected to cup member 10 and second support member 22 by first mesh member 40 and second mesh member 42, respectively.
  • adhesive 30 may be applied to a portion or an entire interior surface of cup member 10, first support member 20, and second support member 22.
  • FIG. 1H shows a side view of device 1, wherein cup member 10 is applied to cover support member 20.
  • adhesive 30 may be applied to a portion or an entire interior surface of cup member 10 and support member 20.
