Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of undergarments and more specifically to a backless and strapless multi-piece bra.
  • Bras have long been used to provide support to a wearer's breasts.
  • traditional bras are unacceptable when worn with backless or shoulderless outer garments, as various parts, including their straps, will be visible.
  • various backless and/or strapless bras have been developed for use with such outer garments.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,780,081 to Chen et al. describes a backless, strapless bra having cups held to a wearer's breasts with an adhesive.
  • the device of the Chen et al. patent utilizes a connector between the cups of the bra which is intended to provide cleavage to a user's breasts.
  • the device cannot be worn with outer garments having plunging necklines, as the connector and possibly the cups of the device will be visible.
  • the device would provide little support for the underside of a wearer's breast.
  • the device of the present invention provides a backless, strapless bra that provides support and/or cleavage to a wearer's breasts and the components of which are not visible, even when worn with a wide variety of revealing outer garments.
  • a first aspect of the invention provides a backless and strapless bra comprising at least one cup member for supporting a front surface of a wearer's breast, and at least one support member for supporting an underside of a wearer's breast, wherein each cup member is unattached to any support member and any other cup member.
  • a second aspect of the invention provides a backless and strapless bra comprising a set of cup members for supporting a front surface of a wearer's breast, a set of support members for supporting an underside of a wearer's breast, and at least one mesh member connecting a support member to at least one of a cup member and a second support member, wherein each cup member is unattached to any other cup member.
  • a third aspect of the invention provides a backless and strapless bra comprising at least one cup member for supporting a front surface of a wearer's breast, and at least one support member for supporting an underside of a wearer's breast, wherein the at least one cup member and the at least one support member comprise sufficient adhesion to secure the cup member and the support member to a wearer's breast.
  • a fourth aspect of the invention provides a backless and strapless bra comprising a pair of cup members for supporting a front surface of each of a wearer's breasts, and at least two support members for supporting an underside of each of a wearer's breasts, wherein a first cup member is unattached to a second cup member.
  • FIGS. 1 A-I show several views and embodiments of a multi-piece bra having a round cup according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 2 A-F show several views and embodiments of a multi-piece bra having an oval cup according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 3 A-F show several views and embodiments of a multi-piece bra having an “eye-shaped” cup according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 4 A-H show several views and embodiments of a multi-piece bra having a half-round cup according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 5 A-G show several views and embodiments of a multi-piece bra having a partial half-round push-up cup according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1A shows a front view of the device 1 , comprising a round cup member 10 and a support member 20 .
  • Support member 20 is depicted as an elongate member having squared ends 20 a, 20 b. One or both ends 20 a, 20 b may similarly be rounded.
  • Cup member 10 and support member 20 may each be composed of one or more of a number of materials, including, for example, cloth and silicone.
  • An exemplary cloth material is a tricote available from MBK Enterprises, Inc. of Chatsworth, Calif., U.S.A.
  • cup member 10 , support member 20 , or both may be composed of a stretchable foam material.
  • cup member 10 may include various devices common to the manufacture of bras, including, for example, padding to provide the appearance of a larger breast.
  • FIG. 1B shows a front view of device 1 as it would be applied to a wearer.
  • Support member 20 resides along an underside of a wearer's breast while cup member 10 is placed along a front surface of the breast. While both cup member 10 and support member 20 are substantially flat before application, each conforms to the shape of a wearer's breast upon application. As shown, cup member 10 may partially or completely cover support member 20 when applied.
  • FIG. 1C shows device 1 with optional mesh member 40 connecting cup member 10 and support member 20 .
  • Mesh member 40 may be of the same material or a different material as cup member 10 and support member 20 .

  • FIG. 1F shows a side view of device 1 as it would be located on a wearer's breast.
  • Cup member 10 and support member 20 are secured to a wearer's breast by an adhesive 30 along an inner surface of each of cup member 10 and support member 20 .
  • Adhesive 30 may be provided upon one or both of cup member 10 and support member 20 or it may be applied to the inner surfaces of each by a wearer prior to application of device 1 .
  • Adhesive 30 may cover one or more portions or an entire interior surface of cup member 10 and support member 20 .
  • Substances suitable for use as adhesive 30 include skin-sensitive, pressure-sensitive, hypoallergenic, acrylate adhesives that are non-toxic and non-irritating to a wearer's skin. Such adhesives are available from, for example, 3M Inc. of St. Paul Minn., U.S.A.
  • adhesive 30 is a layer of silicone having properties making it adhesive or “tacky” to the touch.
  • a material provides sufficient adhesion to a wearer's breast that cup member 10 and support member 20 are held in place and provide sufficient support to a wearer's breast but may be easily removed without causing discomfort to a wearer's skin.
  • cup member 10 , support member 20 , or both may be composed of such a silicone, obviating the need for a separate layer of adhesive 30 .
  • Support member 20 is an elongate member placed substantially along an underside of a breast, providing support in direction A similar to that of an underwire in a traditional bra.
  • Cup member 10 is placed over a front surface of a breast, providing support in direction B, holding the breast toward the wearer's body.
