I WATERPROOF PLASTIC COVERED BUST PAD Filed Jan. 26, 1950 INVENTOR. dos EPH M. DE GRANDLS Patented Feb. 10, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE WATERPROOF PLASTIC COVERED BUST PAD 1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to artificial padding for the human form and pertains more particularly to bust pads.
One object of the present invention is to provide a bust pad which is adapted to blend into the human form in order to thereby avoid embarrassing detection of its use.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an all-purpose bust pad, one which is adaptable for use with both dress wear and bathing garments.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a waterproofingly sealed breast pad which may be utilized while in swimming or may be Washed without causing ill effects to the body or configuration producing element thereof.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a bust pad which provides the utmost in comfort to a user.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claim in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. 1 is an isometric view illustrating the present invention.
Fig. 2 is an isometric exploded view of the present invention, illustrating the assembly of the several components.
Fig. 3 is a plan View of the blank of pliant waterproof material from which the conical outer cup is formed.
Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the foam rubber blank from which the resilient body member is formed.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken along the lines 5-5 in Figure 4 and illustrates the peripheral chamfer formed on the body member.
Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the body member and illustrates the conical reentrant recess and the internal peripheral chamfer.
Fig. 7 is a plan view of the blank of waterproof pliant material from the conical inner cup is formed.
Fig. 8 is a side elevational view of the present invention showing the same applied to a breast and illustrating the manner in which it blends into the natural form of a user.
With reference to the drawings and partic ularly Fig. 1, it will be seen that the present breast pad II] is conical in configuration. Said breast pad, as seen in Fig. 2, comprises several conical components. A conical outer cup memher It is formed from a substantially circular blank I 2 (Fig. 3) of pliant waterproof material which is provided with a radially extending cutout 13 and a circumferentially pinked edge l4. Radial edges l5 and [6, provided by the cut-out l3, when brought together, provide the required conical configuration for the outer cup ll. Now, inasmuch as the circular blank I2 is not merely a waterproof coated fabric but it is preferably formed of a pliant plastic material, an electronic heat sealing operation is utilized to secure said edges [5 and [6 together, as at H (Fig. 2). Said heat sealing operation is also utilized to preform a circumferential flange 18.
Now, as seen in Fig. 2 also, a conical body member or configuration producing element 20 is provided to fit into the said outer cup I I. Said body member is formed of a substantially circular body blank 2| having a cut-out 22, to provide radial edges 23 and 24, and a peripheral chamfer 25 on the underside thereof (Figs. 4 and 5). Said body member is preferably of foam rubber and its radial edges 22 and 23 are also secured together, as at 26, by means of a heat sealing operation. With said radial edges secured in the manner just described, the body member assumes its conical configuration and also provides a reentrant recess 2'! and an internal peripheral chamfer 28, the purposes for which will be hereinafter described.
Adapted to fit into said reentrant recess 21 is a conical inner cup 30 (Fig. 2). Said inner cup 30 is fabricated of the same material as the outer cup H, but is formed of a substantially circular blank 3] (Fig. 7) which is slightly smaller than the hereinabove mentioned blank l2. However, like said blank I2, the present one is provided with a radially extending cutout 32 and radial edges 33 and 34 and a pinked circumferential edge 35. Also, like said blank 12, the radial edges 33 and 34 are secured together, as at 36, by a heat sealing operation to provide the conical configuration therefor, which heat operation is also effectively utilized for forming a circumferential flange 31 (Fig. 2)
In assembling the various components the body member 20 is fitted in the outer cup II and the inner cup 36 is fitted in the reentrant recess 21 in the said body member. Thereafter, a heat sealing operation is utilized for securing the flange l8 of the outer cup to the flange 31 of the inner cup 30. In this manner the foam rubber body 20 is hermetically, and therefore waterproofingly, sealed in an envelope between the said outer and inner cups II and 30, which being formed of pliant material impervious to moisture, provides a sealed container.
Now, when the pad [0 is applied to a female breast in the manner seen in Fig. 6, and is held thereto by a brassire or other means not herein shown, the above-mentioned internal chamfer 28, see Fig. 6 also, engages and fits the natural swell of that portion of a body. As a result, natural and continuous breast lines. are,- obtained, thereby rendering the fact of the use of padding less detectable. This, in addition to inhibiting embarrassment, afiords a certain degree of selfassurance, confidence and poise to a. user.
Inasmuch as the present fabrication provides a hermetically sealed body member, it is also.
noteworthy that the above-described pad may be, utilized during bathing without becoming saturated and heavy, or without ruining the configuration producing material therein. Also, said pad, in; view of itswaterprooflng, may bewashed and thus Kept sanitary without any fear of it losing its original shape.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
In a bust pad, the combination which comprises a conical-shaped resilient body member, the annular end surface of which is chamfered to nest snugly against the breast of a person wearing the pad, said chamfered surface extending from the peripheral edge of the outer surface to the corresponding edge of the inner surface of the body member, and an enclosing envelope of pliant material impervious to moisture, said envelope comprising an outer covering nested against the outer surface of the body member and having a peripheral flange extended beyond the peripheral edge of said body member, and an inner covering nested against the inner surface of said body member and also having a peripheral flange extended beyond the edge of the body member, said peripheral flanges of the outer and inner coverings being sealed together whereby the conical-shaped body member is enclosed in a sealed container impervious to moisture.
