Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a backless strapless bra, and more particularly to a backless strapless bra suitable for different users.
2. Description of Related Art
A conventional backless strapless bra has two cup-shaped breast boosting sections and a connecting member connecting the breast boosting sections.
The breast boosting section has different sizes for different users. Though users having breasts of similar sizes can choose the backless strapless bra of the same size, shapes of these users' breasts may have slight differences. The conventional backless strapless bra lacks an adjustable structure to fit these users.
Moreover, a side of the conventional backless strapless bra is arc-shaped and cannot be attached to different sections of a rim of a breast for best coverage.
Besides, each breast boosting section of the backless strapless bra is single cup-shaped to cover a single breast. There is no structure for two breast boosting sections of the conventional backless strapless bras to be connected with each other. Consequently, the conventional backless strapless bra lacks an effect of forming a bust line.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide a backless strapless bra to mitigate the aforementioned problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main objective of the invention is to provide a backless strapless bra suitable for different users.
A backless strapless bra has two cup-shaped breast boosting sections. Each breast boosting section has an arcuate cross section and a free side. The free sides of the breast boosting sections are respectively located at two opposite sides of the backless strapless bra. Each free side has three arc areas capable of being respectively attached to different sections of the rim of the breast. With the three arc areas, the backless strapless bra in accordance with the present invention can squeeze the breasts for best coverage and is suitable for different users.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, a first embodiment of a backless strapless bra in accordance with the present invention comprises two breast boosting sections 10, a first width A, a second width B and two central concaves 20.
With reference to FIGS. 3 to 6, the breast boosting sections 10 are detachably connected with each other. Each breast boosting section 10 has a cross section, an inner surface 11, a free side 12, a top edge 13 and a bottom edge 14. The cross section of each breast boosting section 10 is arcuate. The inner surface 11 of each breast boosting section 10 is adhesive.
The free side 12 of each breast boosting section 10 has three arc areas. The free sides 12 of the breast boosting sections 10 are respectively located at two opposite sides of the backless strapless bra. The three arc areas of each free side 12 are respectively defined as a first arc area 121, a second arc area 122 and a third arc area 123. The first arc area 121 of each free side 12 is located at a top of the free side 12. The second arc area 122 of each free side 12 is located at a middle of the free side 12. The third arc area 123 of each free side 12 is located at a bottom of the free side 12. The arc areas 121, 122, 123 are similar to angel's wings and also look like human's hands holding the breasts. The three arc areas 121, 122, 123 serve as three positioning areas for securing a rim of a breast to position the breasts more securely than the conventional backless strapless bra does.
With reference to FIG. 7, the first arc area 121 is attached to a top section of a rim of a breast and has a highest end higher than that of the top edge 12 of the boosting section 10. Accordingly, each first arc area 121 is located at an upper position relative to the breast boosting sections 10. Consequently, the first arc areas 121 can further boost the breasts. Moreover, the second arc area 122 and the third arc area 123 are pulled along the arrows as shown in FIG. 7 to squeeze and cover tightly the breasts.
The first width A is defined as a shortest longitudinal width of where the breast boosting sections 10 are connected with each other.
The second width B is defined as a longest longitudinal width of each breast boosting section 10. The first width A is shorter than the second width B. Preferably, the first width A is shorter than half of the second width B.
Preferably, the top edge 13 and the bottom edge 14 of each breast boosting section 10 are convex.
With further reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the central concaves 20 are respectively located below and above where the breast boosting sections 10 are connected with each other.
Preferably, the backless strapless bra is elastic. The backless strapless bra may not be elastic and comprise a soft cloth and a silicone layer connected with a surface of the cloth.
With reference to FIG. 8, a second embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment except the breast boosting sections 10A are integrally connected with each other.
With reference to FIG. 9, a third embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment except only one breast boosting section 10B is implemented and has a free side 12B, a first arc area 121B, a second arc area 122B and a third arc area 123B.
From the above description, it is noted that the present invention has the following advantages:
1. Convenient Adjustment:
Each breast boosting section 10, 10A, 10B has three arc areas 121, 122, 123, 121B, 122B, 123B capable of being respectively attached to different sections of the rim of the breast, such as the top, the middle and the bottom of the rim of the breast. With the three arc areas 121, 122, 123, 121B, 122B, 123B, the backless strapless bra in accordance with the present invention can squeeze the breasts for best coverage and is suitable for different users.
2. Good Boosting Effect:
When the first arc areas 121, 121B are located at the upper position relative to the breast boosting sections 10, 10B, the first arc areas 121, 121B can further boost the breasts.
3. Good Positioning Effect:
The three arc areas 121, 122, 123, 121B, 122B, 123B serve as three positioning areas for securing the rim of the breast. Accordingly, the present invention provides a good positioning effect and the present invention is prevented from falling off the breasts, even when the user is moving.
4. Reducing Accessory Breasts:
Accessory breasts can be further pushed toward, covered by and positioned by the second arc areas 122, 122B and the third arc areas 123, 123B, so accessory breasts are kept in the breast boosting sections 10, 10B and are not exposed outside the backless strapless bra. Moreover, the breasts are further squeezed to be concentrated and to form a deep bust line.
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
