Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a breast support according to the characteristics of the pre-characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the present invention also relates to a cushion (5) of separation between the breasts according to the characteristics of the pre-characterizing part of claim 17.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for making a breast support according to the characteristics of the pre-characterizing part of claim 23.
  • Patent application US5538502 describes a surgical chest dressing, which is constructed of a band of stretchable material having a pair of panels of non-stretchable material attached thereto, the non-stretchable panels biasing the side and breast tissue of a patient inwardly toward a sutured incision in the centre of a patient's chest to support and substantially immobilize the patient's side and breast tissue and to minimize stress on the sutured incision
  • Patent application US5098331 describes a therapeutic chest dressing having implants including a chest encircling, flexible band provided with front flaps whereby the band is disposed against the back of a person and the front flaps overlap and fasten to each other.
  • a chest encircling strip is attached to the flexible band for preventing movement or distortion of the implants for breasts received in the flexible band.
  • Patent application US 2004/185748 describes a brassiere to be worn after breast surgery.
  • the fabric of the brassiere includes antimicrobial fibres that control microbes on the skin of the woman's breast area both before and after surgical incisions are healed.
  • the antimicrobial fibre is a synthetic fibre incorporating an ion exchange resin.
  • the antimicrobial fibre contains silver ions in antimicrobial amounts.
  • Patent application US5152741 describes a surgical dressing, which is constructed of a chest encircling flexible band formed primarily of a stretchable material with free overlapping ends that engage each other between the breasts of a person.
  • the band includes a differential support structure to provide more support for the sides of the user.
  • the prior art solutions of brassieres and breast supports are designed, in general, for a daytime use in which it is essential to have a support function when the user of the brassiere assumes an upright position.
  • the prior art solutions therefore, are not suitable for night use in which the lying position causes a distribution of weight and of stress on the body, which is completely different with respect to the upright position.
  • the use of a traditional brassiere is not comfortable at night or when resting in a lying position because too much strain of the shoulder straps and a too strong supporting action exerted on the breast cause uncomfortable and sometimes painful pressure on the skin, so much that often, in these situations, the woman prefers not to wear the brassiere.
  • the prior art solutions are not suitable to be used after radiotherapy sessions due to the fact that the fabrics used and the shapes used for the brassiere are uncomfortable for the user after such sessions due to the presence of skin redness and irritations.
  • the prior art solutions cannot effectively prevent the reciprocal contact of skin for example as to the contact zone between the breasts of the user of the prior art brassiere.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a breast support, which is comfortable during night use.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a breast support, which is adapted for use by people who underwent breast surgery.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a breast support, which is adapted for use in case of radiotherapy sessions, in particular after a session.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a breast separation cushion to be used in combination with a breast support.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a method for personalizing a breast support.
  • the solution according to the present invention allows to obtain a correct wearability of the breast support according to body shape without creating discomfort following its prolonged use.
  • the solution according to the present invention allows to obtain an effective reciprocal positioning of the breasts with a function of reciprocal separation between the breasts in order to prevent rubbing between the breasts which may cause irritations, sweating and even dermatitis.
  • the solution according to the present invention allows to make a breast support without supporting shoulder straps, so that the user can wear it during the night and in the moments of rest or anyway for prolonged periods of time without any problems of wrinkles or posture arising, it being very simple and comfortable to wear.
  • the solution according to the invention because it prevents the non-operated breast from lying over the operated one, preventing sweating and rubbing and resulting irritations because the skin, after the operation, is sensitive and delicate.
  • the solution according to the invention also allows an effective, comfortable use in case of dermatitis.
  • the solution according to the invention is adapted to be used after radiotherapy sessions, ensuring the maintenance of conditions of great comfort also after such sessions, when the user's skin is irritated or red.
  • the breast support (11) made according to the present invention includes ( Fig. 1 , Fig. 2 , Fig. 3 , Fig. 4 , Fig. 5 , Fig. 6 , Fig. 7, Fig. 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig. 10, Fig. 11 ) a band (8) provided with a cushion (5) which is applicable on the band (8) in an application zone which, when the breast support (11) is in a condition worn by a user (15), is in an intermediate position between the breasts of the user (15) in such a way that the cushion (5) is an element of separation between the breasts.
  • the band (8) has an elongate shape ( Fig. 1 , Fig. 2 , Fig. 3 , Fig. 4 , Fig. 5 , Fig. 6 , Fig. 7, Fig. 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig. 10, Fig. 11 ) and is provided with at least one portion having a greater height (22) with respect to the rest of the band, said portion having greater height being placed on a front side (16) of the band (8), the term front referring to a position corresponding to the position of the breasts of the user (15) of the breast support (11) when the breast support (11) is in a condition worn by the user (15).
  • the band (8) is shaped and arranged according to a shape that is higher on the front side (16) with respect to the user (15) and lower on the back side (17), the term back referring to a position corresponding to the position of the back of the user (15) of the breast support (11) when the breast support (11) is in a condition worn by the user (15).
  • Such a solution of breast support (11) shaped like a band (8), which is provided with a portion having a greater height (22) with respect to the rest of the band is a further relevant element with respect to the prior art solutions in which the bands have the same height both on the back and on the breast.
  • the band (8) is preferably made of a non-allergenic and transpiring material, woven or non-woven.
  • the band (8) is made of a non-allergenic and transpiring material, woven or non-woven, which is suitable for use after radiotherapy sessions, when the user's skin is red or irritated.
  • the fabric can be made of silk, a combination of polyamide, elaston and polyester.
  • the solution according to the invention is made with such fabrics and such a shape that it is possible to effectively prevent the reciprocal contact of the skin for example as to the contact zone between the breasts, making it particularly adapted also for use after radiotherapy sessions.
  • the band (8) or at least the parts of band, which are in contact with the user's skin when the breast support (11) is in a worn condition are made of a material, woven or non-woven, of the non-allergenic type or of silk or of a combination of polyamide, elaston and polyester.
  • the band (8) is an open band, meaning that it is not closed on itself in a circular form, but it is an elongate element ( Fig. 7, Fig. 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig. 10, Fig. 11 ) provided with a first end (20) and with a second end (21) opposite to each other with respect to the elongate shape of the band (8).
  • the band (8) is provided ( Fig. 1 , Fig. 2 , Fig. 3 , Fig. 4 , Fig. 5 , Fig. 6 , Fig. 7, Fig. 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig. 10, Fig.
  • the fastening (1) is positioned on the front side (16) of the band (8) in a position corresponding to the position of the breasts of the user (15) of the breast support (11) when the breast support (11) is in a worn condition.
  • the fastening (1) is preferably of the adjustable type in such a way as to allow to obtain a condition of support of the breasts and of great comfort depending on the shape of the chest of the user (15) and on the size of the breasts of the user (15). It is provided to realize different bands (8) each corresponding to a size or to a plurality of sizes in order to facilitate the finding of the band (8) whose size suits best depending on the shape of the chest of the user (15) and on the size of the breasts of the user (15).
  • the fastening (1) is preferably of the tear-away type with male-female coupling, that is to say, of the type comprising ( Fig. 1 ) a first fastening coupling (4) placed on the first end (20) of the band (8) and a second fastening coupling (14) placed on the second end (21) of the band (8) wherein the first fastening coupling (4) and the second fastening coupling (14) are provided with a releasable textile hook and loop system.
  • the tear-away fastening (1) is advantageous because it allows to obtain a high degree of adjustment in such a way as to be able to correspondingly adjust the tension exerted by the band (8). In this way the user can obtain a correct wearability according to the shape of the chest and of the breasts favouring the obtainment of a condition of comfort and support of the breasts along with the function of reciprocal separation of the breasts obtained by means of the cushion (5).
  • the band (8) is provided with a first elastic element (2) and with a second elastic element (12) which are placed on opposite edges (18, 19) of the band (8) and which extend for at least one part of the length development of the band (8), preferably for almost the entire length development of the band (8).
  • the first elastic element (2) is placed along an upper edge (18) of the band (8), in which the term upper refers to the gravity direction when the breast support (11) is in a condition worn by the user (15).
