Description

Adjustable underwire assembly

The present invention relates to underwires used in supporting garments, in particular bras. More particularly, the present invention relates to an adjustable underwire assembly that allows for easy adjustment of the bra to fit the body in consideration of changes in user's size or activity and to give the user comfort. The invention also relates to a bra incorporating such an adjustable underwire assembly.

Bras are a basic garment for most women. Bras are particularly aimed at suppressing excessive movement of the chest, which can be offensive to women with large breasts. In general, in the absence of an adequate support, the soft tissues and ligaments are stretched, causing discomfort and prematurely sagging breasts. Accordingly, the bra must not only fit exactly to the wearer but also be comfortable to wear and at the same time flexible to account for changes in the wearer's size or activity.

Women with large breasts generally require additional support, such as underwires, mounted in a sleeve that extends along the bottom of each cup of the bra. The underwire is typically in the form of a U-shape, radially elastic hardening member, which is mounted in a pocket or sleeve that extends from the center of the bra to the side below the wearer's arm along the layer and the outside of the breast cup. Elastic underwires are made of a metal such as steel having a rectangular, elliptical or other cross section, or of a polymer having various cross sectional shapes. Underwires generally have plastic comfort tips to avoid uncomfortable tightening and to minimize wear of the bra fabric. In another embodiment the underwire can also be made of a metal to which the polymer is applied.

U.S. Patent No. 10 / 245,470, filed and generally filed on September 16, 2002, relates to garment underclothes having different portions of flexibility. Application No. 10 / 245,470 is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. U.S. Pat.Nos. 5,830,040, 3,777,763, and 3,608,556 describe other efforts to mitigate the discomfort of underwires and are incorporated in part by reference herein.

While each underwire is made as a separate unit to be mounted into a separate sleeve or pocket adjacent to the breast cup, this underwire is generally fixed in a position considered due to the position of the sleeve and its relative radius. Because the underwire is some stiff, it is difficult to adjust its shape and orientation to fit the individual wearer.

It is generally known that the size and shape of a chest changes not only on the weight of the woman but also on the condition of the woman, so a pair of underwired bras will fit the wearer well over a period of time, but It will not fit well during other time periods when the shape changes. For example, during a monthly menstrual cycle, a woman's breast is thought to be different in size and shape compared to that of the other days. In addition, pregnancy affects the size of the chest. In addition, if the wearer's activity changes frequently, another type of bra support is required. For example, a bra that is comfortable to wear during work activities may be different from the bra required by the wearer when wearing evening dresses or engaging in other activities such as tennis, golf, swimming, ballet or gymnastics.

It can be easily understood that a single bra is not suitable for one activity and not for another activity by not considering such a relatively large number of activities.
