Definitions

  • Traditional women's undergarments namely brassieres, generally have a front portion with supportive cups, wings extending from the front portion surrounding the wearer's ribcage, a hook and eye closure to connect the two wings, and two shoulder straps. While traditional bras are practical for everyday use under daily wear, such as t-shirt, blouses, sweaters, etc., these traditional bras are not suitable for all purposes, e.g. , for wear with backless garments such as formal gowns.
  • US 1,955,523 describes a brassière including fulled breast portions terminating in tapered end portions having their tips spaced apart and unconnected at the back of the wearer, shoulder straps connected to the breast portions and the tips of the tapered end portions respectively and depending elastic crossed straps secured at their upper ends to the tips of the tapered end portions and being provided at their lower ends with elastic uninterrupted leg encircling loops.
  • a backless support bra comprising: a front main portion having first and second cups, first and second upper shoulder straps each having first and second ends connected to said front main portion, and first and second lower pelvic straps each having first and second ends connected to said front main portion; and wherein said first and second lower pelvic straps are designed to be worn through the pelvic region of a wearer is generally disclosed.
  • a method of securing a backless support bra having a front main portion on a wearer comprising the steps of: sliding upper shoulder straps extending from the front main portion of the backless support bra over the wearer's shoulders; pulling one end of lower pelvic straps extending from the front main portion of the backless support bra through the pelvic region of the wearer; and securing said one end of said lower pelvic straps extending from the front main portion of the backless support bra to the front main portion is also disclosed.
  • a method, that is not part of the invention, of securing a backless support bra having a front main portion on a wearer comprising the steps of: sliding upper shoulder straps extending from the front main portion of the backless support bra over the wearer's shoulders; crisscrossing lower pelvic straps extending from the front main portion of the backless support bra in a torso region of the wearer; pulling said lower pelvic straps around the hip region of the wearer; pulling said lower pelvic straps through the pelvic region of the wearer; and securing a distal end of said lower pelvic straps onto said lower pelvic straps is also described.
  • FIGS. 1-5 show front, rear, and side views of a backless support bra 101 in accordance with one aspect of the present invention.
  • Backless support bra 101 has a front main portion 102 having first and second cups 103.
  • Backless support bra 101 has first and second upper shoulder straps 104, which are designed to go over the shoulders of a wearer.
  • Backless support bra 101 also has first and second lower pelvic straps 105 that extend from the front main portion 102, and pass through the pelvic area of a user to reattach at the front main portion 102.
  • Cups 103 can be lined, padded, or otherwise enhanced to provide additional support and/or enhancement. Cups 103 can be of various sizes ranging from AAA-N. These cup variations would be understood to those having ordinary skill in the art and such variations would not serve to limit the scope of the invention.
  • front main portion 102 can also include channels having underwire 106 underneath the cups 103 to provide additional support and lift to the wearer's breasts.
  • a center front gore 107 generally connects cups 103.
  • Both upper shoulder straps 104 and lower pelvic straps 105 attach to front main portion 102 at hook points 108.
  • Hook points 108 generally comprise of a bra hook (not visible in every figure but can be seen in FIG. 6 at reference number 110) and an eye found on the inside of front main portion 102.
  • a plurality of eyes are provided on the inside and along the edge of front main portion 102 to allow the hooks found on the end of the upper shoulder straps 104 and lower pelvic straps 105 to attach at various locations along the edge of the front main portion 102. At least three eyes, but preferably four or more, would be provided to allow for the straps 104 and 105 to attach the front main portion 102.
  • hook points can be more permanently affixed, for example, by sewing the two portion together. This may be used where regular attachment and detachment of a hook from an eye for removal of the bra is not necessary.
  • hook points 108 on shoulder strap 104 could be more permanently affixed since the shoulder straps 104 can be slid over the arms.
  • Sliders 109 can also placed along uppers shoulder straps 104 and lower pelvic straps 105 to adjust the length of the straps to fit various body sizes and types.
  • the neckline created by the cups 103 of the front main portion 102 can be a variety of shapes as would be understood to those having skill in the art. In these exemplary figures, the neckline is shown to be contoured or molded, but the front main portion 102 and cups 103 could be in plunge, full-cup, demi-cup, push-up, balconette, or shelf styles, for example. These cups can be made from a variety of materials, sizes, and colors known in the art of bra-making.
  • the upper shoulder straps 104 and lower pelvic straps 105 can be a variety of widths and made from a variety of materials and in a variety of colors.
  • pelvic straps 105 can be worn between a wearer's buttocks in a thong-style, to avoid panty lines. Alternately, the pelvic straps 105 can be worn along a full-coverage panty line as can generally be seen in FIG. 7 .
  • FIG. 6 shown in this figure is a way, that is not part of the invention, to use pelvic straps 105.
  • lower pelvic straps 105 are crisscrossed in front of the body of the wearer, pulled around the hip region of the wearer, and then through the pelvic region from back-to-front to reattach to the lower pelvic straps 105 in the front body portion of the user using hooks 110.
  • Sliders 109 can be used to adjust the length of the lower pelvic straps 105 to accommodate the wearer.
