The brassiere 100 described herein allows the wearer to more easily attach and detach the brassiere using only one of the left and right hands.

1 and 2 show a first exemplary embodiment of the brassiere 100. The brassiere 100 includes an elongated front strap in the form of a brassiere band 102, an elongated back strap 104, a cup portion 106, and a pair of shoulder straps 108 and 110.

The brassiere band 102, back strap 104, cup 106, shoulder straps 108 and 110 are any suitable material for making underwear, such as fabric fibers such as nylon, polyester, cotton, lycra, or other suitable materials. It may be made of.

The cup portion 106 is attached to a brassiere band 102 that fits around the front of the wearer's torso when the brassiere 100 is worn by the wearer. The cup portion 106 includes a center panel or bridge and a pair of cups or multipart cups 107, 109 for receiving the wearer's breast.

The two shoulder straps 108 and 110 extend from the brassiere band 102 to the back strap 104. Preferably, each of the two shoulder straps 108 and 110 includes an adjusting member for adjusting the length of the shoulder straps 108 and 110. The adjusting member can take the form of buckles 112, 114. The buckles 112, 114 can be made from any suitable material, such as plastic or metal, that provides sufficient mechanical strength to secure the adjusted shoulder strap length.

The brassiere band 102 includes two front ends 116 and 118 (also referred to as "braside" or "wing").

Correspondingly, the back strap 104 includes two rear ends 120 and 122 (also referred to as "brasides" or "wings"), and the front ends 116 and 118 of the brassiere band 102 are provided by using fasteners. Each is configured to be fastened. In this way, the two free ends of the brassiere band 102 overlap and are fastened to the two free ends of the back strap 104 at the wearer's side under the wearer's arm, whereby the brassiere is attached to the wearer's torso. Can be made possible to fit into.

Fasteners include at least one fastener, such as a hook-and-loop fastener. Hook-and-loop fasteners are, for example, surface fasteners supplied by Velcro BVBA, such as Velcro® ULTRA-MATE® hook-and-loop fasteners, Velcro® sewn hook-and-loop fasteners, Velcro® soft and flexible sewing. It may be a fastener. Alternatively, flexible fabrics and any other hook-and-loop fastener suitable for use with garments can be selected.

The fastening member corresponds to the right fastener 124 for fastening the front right end 116 to the corresponding rear right end 120 under the wearer's right arm and the front left end 118 under the wearer's left arm. A left fastener 126 for fastening to the rear left end 122 can be included.

The right fastener 124 can include a front member 128 attached to the inner surface of the front right end 116 and a rear member 130 attached to the outer surface of the corresponding rear right end 120. Similarly, the second fastener 126 may include a front member 132 attached to the inner surface of the front left end 118 and a rear member 134 attached to the outer surface of the corresponding rear left end 122. ..

Fasteners 124 and 126 are hook-and-loop fasteners. The ones facing inward, that is, the front members 128 and 132 are loops, and the ones facing the outside, that is, the rear members 130 and 134 are hooks. In this arrangement, since the outer surface fastener is provided on the outer surface of the rear end portions 120, 122, it is possible to prevent or reduce the hook from coming into contact with the wearer's body.

In this embodiment, each of the front members 128 and 132 and the rear members 130 and 134 is formed in a rectangular shape. The front members 128, 132 and the rear members 130, 134 may be formed in the same size or may be formed in different sizes. Preferably, each of the front members 128, 132 having loops is formed in a larger size than the corresponding rear members 130, 134 having hooks. This allows the hooks on the rear member to be completely covered by the loops on the front member when the brassiere is fastened, thereby to the wearer's clothing caused by the hooks on the rear member. Potential damage can be prevented or reduced.

Each of the front members 128, 132 and the rear members 130, 134 of the hook-and-loop fastener can be fastened to any suitable mounting means (eg, sutures, tapes, glues, rivets, or fasteners to the corresponding ends. It can be attached to the corresponding end of the brassiere band 102 or backstrap 104 by any other suitable attachment method).

Each of the end portions 116, 118, 120, 122 is horizontal when the brassiere 100 is hung from the wearer's body by the shoulder straps 108, 110 before fastening the two free ends. Includes horizontally elongated reinforcing elements that reinforce the end portions 116, 118, 120, 122 so as to maintain the orientation of. This allows the stiffener to hold one or more of the ends under the user's side arm when hanging from the body prior to tightening, causing the ends to fall off or fall off the body. For the wearer who can use only one hand, the fastening work can be facilitated.

The reinforcing element may take any suitable form, eg, one or more bones (also known as "ribs"). Bone may be made of bone or plastic or metallic material (eg, thin ridges of plastic, or wire) and may be any suitable mounting means (eg, sewing, tape fastening, gluing, riveting, or any). It may be attached to the end portions 116, 118, 120, and 122 by other suitable attachment means). Preferably, the bone is covered with a fabric so that it does not come into direct contact with the wearer's body. Preferably, the bone is separated from the wearer's body by a soft material (eg, fabric), which provides the wearer more comfort when the brassiere is secured. As an example, the ends 116, 118, 120, 122 may be formed in three layers:
(1) Inner woven layer that can come into direct contact with the wearer's body;
(2) A reinforcing layer containing a reinforcing element having only one bone, only two bones, or at least two bones, or three bones, or four bones (depending on the size of the brassiere);
(3) An outer fabric layer to which a hook-and-loop fastener tab (for example, a hook member or a loop member) is attached.

In the manufacture of brassieres, reinforcing elements can be inserted between the inner and outer fabric layers, as shown in FIG.

Optionally, the back strap 104 further includes an elastic portion 136 located between the two rear end portions 120 and 122, as shown in FIG. The elastic portion 136 is made of elastic cloth and allows the back strap 104 to be stretched. In this example, the elastic portion 136 takes the form of an elongated elastic strap. The elongated elastic strap can contain only one piece of elastic material, or can include two or more pieces of elastic material extending between the two rear ends 120, 122 (eg, for larger brassieres). ).

Optionally, each of the two cups 107 and 109 of the cup portion 106 includes inner pockets 138, 140 for holding the prosthesis (breast). Alternatively, the inner pocket may be provided on only one of the two cups 107 and 109.

With reference back to FIG. 1, optionally, the cup portion 106 further includes decorative panels 142 and 144 in each of the two cups 107 and 109.

By the above method, the brassiere 100 can be fixed to the wearer's body using only one hand.

To remove the brassiere 100, the wearer may pull the ends 116, 120 of the brassiere band 102 from the ends 118, 122 of the back strap 104 with one hand.

In this way, the brassiere 100 allows the wearer to more easily attach and detach the brassiere 100 using only one hand.

The described brassiere 100 is for any wearer who has found it difficult to operate or secure a conventional back closure brassiere or front closure brassiere, eg, people suffering from injury, disability, frailty, or illness. It can be used by people who have difficulty using one of their hands or one side of their body.

Since the brassiere 100 is generally an individual size and therefore cannot be easily replaced, having fasteners that can be opened manually on both sides is a wearer, for example, when the wearer is sitting in a wheelchair. The brassiere 100 can be removed from or assisted by a second person, such as a caregiver, who wears the brassiere 100 on the wearer.

Further, the brassiere 100 can be worn without the wearer standing up or stepping into the brassiere 100. This is especially advantageous for people who have difficulty standing up or moving their legs, for example, allowing a wearer sitting in a wheelchair to wear a bra.

When worn by a wearer (eg, a caregiver) who cannot be worn by himself, the brassiere 100 does not require the first person to touch the wearer's breast at any time. The brassiere 100 is placed on the wearer's shoulders, while both sides are open. The brassiere can then be pulled down in front to collect the wearer's breasts without the wearer touching the breasts. The brassiere 100 can then be run upwards under the wearer's arm.

This brassiere fixation does not require fine dexterity finger movements and is therefore suitable for users with limited ability to perform finger movements.

Modifications In the first and second embodiments described above, the backstrap 104 includes an elastic portion 136 disposed between the two rear end portions 120, 122. However, as described above, it is optional to provide the elastic portion 136. For example, FIGS. 10 and 11 show a third exemplary embodiment of a brassiere 100 in which the back strap 104 does not include an elastic portion 136.

In the embodiments described herein, the fastening member comprises a first fastener 124 for fastening the front right end 116 to the corresponding rear right end 120 and a corresponding rear left end 118 for the front left end 118. Includes a second fastener 126 for fastening to 122. In some embodiments, the fastener may include, for example, only one of the first fastener 124 and the second fastener 126 for use only by a person with an injury or disability on one side. .. However, providing fasteners on both sides allows a person with limited physical function to either the left or right side of the body (eg, variably due to different injuries or distress) to wear the brassiere. , The overall manufacturing cost of multiple brassieres can be reduced.

In some embodiments, the fasteners 124, 126 are magnetic fasteners, i.e. magnets or magnetisms that cooperate with each other portion of fasteners 124, 126 with a magnet on each portion of fasteners 124, 126. It can be replaced and / or reinforced with elements (eg iron metal).

In the embodiments described herein, reinforcing elements are provided at the ends 116, 118, 120 and 122, respectively, but the reinforcing elements are instead provided only at the rear ends 120, 122 of the back strap 104. May be done. In this embodiment, the front ends 116, 118 of the brassiere band 102 are generally considered to be shorter than the rear ends 120, 122 and retain their shape due to the hook and loop material.

For example, FIGS. 12-14 show a fourth exemplary embodiment of the brassiere 100. In this embodiment, a pair of bone-shaped reinforcing elements are provided only at the rear ends 120, 122 of the back strap 104.

As shown in more detail in FIG. 14, each of the bones is sandwiched between two layers of cloth on the back strap 104. Two layers of fabric are sewn around the bones to secure the bones in their assigned positions, for example one bone is placed close to the upper edge of the corresponding end and another bone Placed close to the lower edge of the corresponding end.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 14, the sewing line for fixing one or more bones extends beyond each end of the bone when not worn and is at least 5% or 10 more than the corresponding bone. % Long inclusion area 150 (also called "pocket") is formed, and when bone is placed within such a pocket, the extra space in the pocket allows the fabric to stretch and contract without deforming the bone. To. This allows the brassiere to better fit the wearer's torso during use. This also increases the useful life of the brassiere.

As shown in FIG. 14, in the present embodiment, each of the front members 128 and 132 and the rear members 130 and 134 of the hook-and-loop fastener has a rectangular shape.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, in the present embodiment, the back strap 104 does not include the elastic portion 136.

Moreover, the reinforcing element is not a pair of horizontal bones, but can instead take any other suitable form. For example, each reinforcing element at each end is loosely suspended from a single horizontal bone or two or more horizontal bones, rigid straps, multiple ribs, or the wearer's body before the brassiere is secured. It may be in any other suitable form capable of maintaining the horizontal orientation of the corresponding ends when Having more than one bone makes it possible to make the brassiere suitable for wearers of larger body sizes, providing better support for the ends that will be longer and heavier.

Further, as shown in FIG. 15, in some embodiments, each of the shoulder straps 108, 110 is attached to the back strap 104 at two attachment points (108c, 108d; and 110c, 110d), respectively. It may have branches (108a, 108b; and 110a, 110b). Bones 146 and 148 may extend through the region between the two junctions 108c and 108d and the region between the two junctions 110c and 110d. In this way, the triangular structure provided by the two bifurcations of each shoulder strap and the corresponding reinforcing elements is the rear end 120 and when the brassiere is suspended and then fastened to the wearer's body. The 122 provides more stable support.
