  • As illustrated in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the overall configuration of the aforementioned components allows the present invention to comfortably convert a standard bra into a racerback bra while allowing the point of connection between the couple of bra straps to be slideable along the back of the user. As seen in FIG. 2, the left curved arm 1 is fixed to the connecting bar 13, and the right curved arm 7 is fixed to the connecting bar 13, opposite the left curved arm 1. A first arm end 2 of the left curved arm 1 is positioned offset from a first arm end 2 of the right curved arm 7 by a top slot 18. The top slot 18 facilitates intertwining of the couple of bra straps between the left curved arm 1 and the connecting bar 13 and between the right curved arm 7 and the connecting bar 13, respectively. Similarly, a second arm end 3 of the left curved arm 1 is positioned offset from a second arm end 3 of the right curved arm 7 by a bottom slot 19.
  • In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting bar 13 is positioned equidistant between the top slot 18 and the bottom slot 19, also seen in FIG. 2. This arrangement secures the desired position of the present invention along the couple of bra straps. Furthermore, the top slot 18 is positioned perpendicular to the connecting bar 13, and the bottom slot 19 is positioned perpendicular to the connecting bar 13. This orientation prevents either straps of the couple of bra straps from laterally pulling the present invention towards the left bra strap and the right bra strap.
  • In order for the shoulder blades of the user to freely move without uncomfortably coming into contact with the present invention, the left curved arm 1 comprises a first arched portion 4 and a second arched portion 5, as seen in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4. The first arched portion 4 and the second arched portion 5 position the left bra strap around the connecting bar 13, as seen in FIG. 5. The first arched portion 4 and the second arched portion 5 are radially positioned around a midpoint 14 of the connecting bar 13, allowing the present invention to continuously slide along the couple of bra straps upon a push and pull by the user. The first arched portion 14 is positioned adjacent to a left bar end 15 of the connecting bar 13. Similarly, the second arched portion 5 is positioned adjacent to the left bar end 15 of the connecting bar 13, opposite to the first arched portion 4. This arrangement allows the left curved arm 1 to secure the left bra strap about the connecting bar 13 while allowing the present invention to freely move along the couple of bra straps.
  • Similarly, in order for the shoulder blades of the user to freely move without uncomfortably coming into contact with the present invention, the right curved arm 7 comprises a first arched portion 10 and a second arched portion 11, also seen in FIG. 2. The first arched portion 10 and the second arched portion 11 position the right bra strap around the connecting bar 13, as seen in FIG. 5. The first arched portion 10 and the second arched portion 11 are radially positioned around a midpoint 14 of the connecting bar 13, allowing the present invention to continuously slide along the couple of bra straps upon a push and pull by the user. The first arched portion 10 is positioned adjacent to a right bar end 16 of the connecting bar 13. Similarly, the second arched portion 11 is positioned adjacent to the right bar end 16 of the connecting bar 13, opposite to the first arched portion 10. This arrangement allows the right curved arm 7 to secure the right bra strap about the connecting bar 13 while allowing the present invention to freely move along the couple of bra straps.
  • The preferred embodiment of the present invention further comprises a first rounded protrusion 20, as seen in FIG. 3. The first rounded protrusion 20 relieves the pressure of the present invention against the back of the user. The first rounded protrusion 20 presses against the skin of the back of the user. Consequently, the first rounded protrusion 20 facilitates the sliding of the present invention along the couple of bra straps as well as a smoother feeling of for the user. The first rounded protrusion 20 is coextensively mounted across the left curved surface arm, the right curved arm 7, and the connecting bar 13. An alternate embodiment of the present invention also comprises a second rounded protrusion 21, seen in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. The second rounded protrusion 21 elevates the couple of bra straps from the back of the user and further securing the desired position of the present invention along the couple of bra straps. Similar to the first rounded protrusion 20, the second rounded protrusion 21 is coextensively mounted across the left curved arm 1, the right curved arm 7, and the connecting bar 13, opposite to the first rounded protrusion 20. Thus, the present invention can have either the first rounded protrusion 20 or a combination of the first rounded protrusion 20 and the second rounded protrusion 21. The fact is that one side flat and the other protuberant for ergonomic purposes in other words to fit the natural shape of the skin tissue in a natural manner. The idea of making a version with a first protrusion and second protrusion on either side of the present invention is only for versatility, in other words so it can be worn on either side with an ergonomic and natural feeling to the skin for comfort.
  • In order for the present invention to be soothing for the skin of the user, not only is the present invention manufactured with biocompatible, non-allergenic, and environmental materials, the left curved arm 1, the right curved arm 7, and the connecting bar 13 is made of stainless steel 316L, in order to fit the organic nature of the skin tissue in a more ergonomic fashion. In order for the present invention to feel comfortable pressed against the back of the user and between the shoulder blades of the user, a circular profile 22 profile is delineated by the left curved arm 1 and the right curved arm 7. More specifically, a ratio between a diameter 23 of the circular profile 22 profile and a width 17 of the connecting bar 13 is approximately 3:20. A ratio between a diameter 23 of the circular profile 22 profile and a width 6 of the left curved arm 1 is approximately 2:20. A ratio between a diameter 23 of the circular profile 22 profile and a width 12 of the right curved arm 7 is approximately 2:20. It is understood that various embodiments of the present invention may comprise varying ratios in order to accommodate a variety of users.
