Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for adjusting a bra.
- current bras are often difficult to adjust.
- multi-position staples only offer an adjustment in the back, which acts on the chest. They are difficult to access, and do not offer a wide range of settings - usually no more than three possible positions -.
- the straps of known bras are adjustable, but most often this adjustment is also located in the back, so again, these settings are difficult to access.
- the adjustments available at the dorsal part allow you to adjust only the chest measurement, which, depending on the cut of the bra and the shape of the cups, may prove to be insufficient.
- the present invention solves the disadvantages mentioned above with a device for adjusting a bra comprising two cups with each of the upper, lower, front and rear edges, the two cups being connected to the rear of the bra. by a back piece, the upper edge of each cap being connected to the back piece by a shoulder strap.
- the adjustment device comprises at least two straps for adjusting the chest measurement and the shape of the cups, each connected on one side of the bra: (i) by a first fixed end (11) at the rear edge of a bonnet, or to the back piece, (ii) by a second end (12) to the rear edge of the bonnet, or to the back piece, via adjustment means (13) in translation from front to back along the longitudinal axis of the back piece, from said second end, and (iii) between the two ends of the strap, slidingly in loops, alternately and at least once, at the rear edge or lower of the corresponding cap, then to the back piece.
- each adjustment strap is fixed at several points along the corresponding cup edge, and also at several points of the height of the dorsal piece, a simple adjustment in translation of the free end of this strap located at the level of the back piece, allows a homogeneous adjustment of the chest measurement, and simultaneously a harmonious modification of the shape of the bra.
- the adjustment means are constituted by an adjustment ring secured to the second end of the adjustment strap, said ring being slidably mounted and adjustable in translation on a rail secured to the back piece.
- FIG. 1 is a partial side view, open bra.
- Figure 2 is an enlarged view showing the adjustment means.
- the invention consists of a device 1 for adjusting a bra 2 comprising two cups 3 with each of the upper 4, lower 5, front 6 and rear edges 7.
- the two cups 3 are connected at the rear of the bra 2 by a back piece 8, the upper edge 4 of each cup 3 being connected to the back piece 8 by a shoulder strap 9.
- the adjustment device 1 comprises at at least two straps 10 for adjusting the chest measurement, each connected to one side of the bra: (i) by a first fixed end 11 to the rear edge 7 of a cup 3, (ii) by a second end 12 to the back piece 8, via means 13 for adjustment in translation from front to back along the longitudinal axis of the back piece 8, of said second end 12, and (iii) between the two ends 11, 12 of the strap 10 , slidingly in loops 14, alternately twice at the rear edge 7 of the corresponding cap 3, then twice to the back piece 8, as is well represented in FIG. 1. It will have been noted that the passage of each strap through loops fixed alternately on the edge of the corresponding cap and then on the back piece, performs a zigzag path.
- the adjustment means 13 consist of an adjustment ring 15 secured to the second end 12 of each adjustment strap 10, said ring being slidably mounted and adjustable in translation on a rail 16 secured to the back piece 8.
- the rail is notched as shown in Figure 1, which allows multiple positions of the ring thereon.
- the adjustment is very easily obtained by unlocking the position of the adjustment ring 15 on the rail 16, by action on an unlocking button 17.
- This button is accessible from the side of the bra, as shown in FIG. Figure 1, which is particularly advantageous for the user.
- the adjustment strap 10 is made of an inextensible material, and the back piece 8 is, on the other hand, elastic.
- the bra has an opening with a clip between the two front edges of the cups.
- the path of the strap 10, between its two ends 11 and 12 is a zigzag, the points of the zigzag being obtained when the strap 10 passes inside a loop 14, as shown in Figure 1.
- the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this device, described above by way of example, on the contrary it embraces all variants.
- the zigzag arrangement of the strap can also vary, provided that a uniform distribution of the adjustment length of the strap is obtained over the entire height of the cup edge on which the strap is fixed.
