Overview


The bra sizing system has been mostly the same since it was popularized around the 1950's and became the ultimate tool to finding the best fitting bra. However, the system has deficiencies as women's body and breasts are not the same from each person to person and even the two breasts of the same women differ in shape, volume, position, weight and other variations. Therefore, restricting sizing or shapes to a standard sizing chart makes finding the best fitting bra for a user almost impossible. Additionally, while traditional bras have various points of adjustment (e.g., a traditional bra may have one to four points of adjustment), these adjustments are typically independent from one another and therefore may be difficult to coordinate the proper adjustments for each point of adjustment. Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide for an adjustable bra garment (or any type of garment could use the same principles discussed herein) that allows the bra to be easily adjusted, even during use to allow for personalized fitting. The present disclosure allows for adjustable bras with a common adjustment point that is easily accessible to allow for simple adjustments to the bra garment using a cable system connected to various garment adjusters.



FIG. 1A illustrates an exterior view of an adjustable bra garment in accordance with the present disclosure. In various embodiments, the adjustable bra garment 100 may be configured in the shape of a traditional bra on the exterior, such that the adjustable features have little to no visibility outside of the adjustment mechanism 110 shown in FIG. 1A. As discussed herein, the adjustment mechanism 110 may be a knob or other type of input device, such that moving the adjustment mechanism 110 causes the bra garment 100 to be adjusted. For example, the adjustment mechanism 110 may include a knob configured to adjust at least two of the garment adjusters discussed herein. As described in various embodiments, the adjustment of the bra garment 100 may be made manually and/or automatically. For example, as shown in FIG. 1A, the adjustment mechanism 110 may be a knob configured to be rotated between different positions and adjust the bra accordingly. Additionally or alternatively, the bra garment may have one or more motors (e.g., motor 81 discussed in reference to FIGS. 7A-8) configured to automatically adjust the garment upon activation. In some embodiments, the motorized adjustment may be activated via at least one of voice direction, touch, and/or mobile device input. For example, the bra garment 100 may include a communication circuitry (e.g., Bluetooth, wi-fi, or the like) that allows the bra garment to be connected to a mobile device, such that a user may input a desired setting of the bra garment during use. In various embodiments with automatic adjustment functionality, one or more motors may be disposed within the bra garment, such that a given motor may adjust certain features of the bra garment. In various embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 110 may have various use modes preset, such that the bra garment 100 may be optimized for a given use. For example, a bra garment 100 may have a sports mode configured to adjust the bra such that the bra operates more similarly to a sports bra than a traditional bra.



FIG. 1B illustrates the inner workings of a bra garment in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, the bra garment 100 may include various garment adjusters, such as two bra cup systems 300 (discussed in reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B below), a cradle 6 for each bra cup system 300, two shoulder straps 12, and an underarm strap 15. In various embodiments, the various garment adjusters may be in communication with the adjustment mechanism 110 via a string system 5 (e.g., the string 5 being received by the channeling system discussed in reference to FIG. 5 below). The various garment adjusters may be disposed below the outer fabric 7 (discussed in reference to FIG. 5 below), such that the garment adjusters have minimal visibility when worn by a user. FIG. 2 illustrates a cut-away view of another example bra garment 100 highlighting details of the connection between the bra cup system 300 and the shoulder strap 12 via the link system 13 discussed below. FIG. 2 illustrates the various components discussed in FIGS. 3A-6.



FIG. 3A illustrates a bra cup system 300 with a garment adjuster therein in accordance with an example embodiment. In an example embodiment, the bra cup system 300 may include a pre-molded cup 1, a plurality of bra cup bands 2, and a bra cup linkage 3. In some embodiments, the pre-molded cup 1 may be a pre-molded foam cup. In some embodiments, the cup 1 may be sized differently based on the size of the intended user.


In some embodiments, the plurality of bra cup bands 2 may be attached at the bottom edge of the bra cup 1 and attached to the bra cup linkage 5 at the other end of each band 2. In some embodiments, the bra cup bands 2 may be an elastic material. In some embodiments, the bands 2 may be flat in shape, such that minimal or no impressions may be visible in an instance in which the bra garment is being worn. In some embodiments, the bands 2 may be less than 5 millimeters wide. In some embodiments, the bands 2 are spaced equally along the bra cup 1. In some embodiments, the bra cup system 300 may include five bra cup bands 2. In various embodiments, the number of bra cup bands may differ from one embodiment to another. For example, the number bra cup bands 2 may increase in larger sized bra garments 100 and/or different variations of the adjustable bra discussed herein. In some embodiments, the length of each band 2 may be different, such that the tension on all of the bands are equal.


In some embodiments, the bands 2 may converge at the cup apex 4. In some embodiments, the bands 2 may be attached (e.g., stitched) to the bra cup 1 at the cup apex 4. In some embodiments, the bra cup linkage 3 may be configured to connect the cup 1 and the string system 5, such that the bra cup linkage 3 provides minimal friction or resistance to the string 5 passing therethrough. In some embodiments, the bra linkage 3 may be sufficiently thin as to ensure smooth and unrestricted sliding within the bra garment 100. As such, the bra linkage 3 may be three millimeters or less.



FIG. 3B illustrates the functionality of the bra cup system in accordance with an example embodiment. As shown, in an instance in which the string system 5 is providing an upward force on the bra cup linkage 3 and subsequently the cup apex 4, the bra cup bands 2 may be configured to contract inwardly to change the fit of the bra. In some embodiments, as the cup 1 gets stretched upward from the cup apex (4), the elastic bands 2 that are contoured over the curvature of the cup may be stretched sequentially and the tension in the elastic bands 2 may start pushing against the bra cup 1 causing a compression of the cup inwards (e.g., thus enabling breast compression).



FIG. 4 illustrates an adjustable cradle configured for use in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the cradle 6 may be positioned below the bra cup 1. In an example embodiment, the cradle 6 may be made out of a material configured to have minimal stretching in the horizontal direction (e.g., along the A-A direction), such that the cradle 6 provides a firm fit on a user's body for maximum support and stability. In some embodiments, the cradle 6 may be made out of a material configured to allow for stretching of the cradle in the vertical direction (e.g., along the B-B direction). In various embodiments, in an instance the cradle 6 is stretched in the upward direction, the cradle 6 may push up the bra cup 1 (e.g., thus enabling breast lift). In various embodiments, the cradle 6 may be formed out of one or more stretch fabrics, such as a knitted polyester, spandex, and/or nylon. In some embodiments, the cradle 6 may formed out of one or more rigid stabilizing fabrics, such as a woven polyester and/or spandex. In some embodiments, the cradle 6 may be formed out of a mixture of stretch fabric and rigid stabilizing fabrics.



FIG. 5 illustrates the channeling system of an example adjustable bra garment in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, the channeling system may be made of an outer fabric layer 7 onto which a groove 8 is provided. For example, the groove 8 may be provided on the inner side of the outer fabric layer 7 by means of fabric molding. In some embodiments, the groove 8 may be configured to receive a tube 9 (e.g., a specially designed plastic tube). In an example embodiment, the tube 9 may be 2.5 millimeters or less in diameter. In some embodiments, the tube 9 may be disposed in the groove 8. In some embodiments, the inner fabric layer 11 may be attached to the inner side of the outer fabric layer 7 (e.g., using a glue film 10). As such, the outer fabric layer 7 and the inner fabric layer 11 may hold the tube 9 within the groove 8. In some embodiments, the string 5 discussed herein may be disposed within the tube 9, such that a channel is created to allow for the string 5 to pass through the channel with minimum resistance.


In various embodiments, the channeling system may be used in adjustable garments (e.g., an adjustable bra garment) such that the string system 5 may travel over the contoured shape of the human body with minimal resistance. Additionally, the channeling system may provide additional garment stability (e.g., additional stability to the center front portion of the bra by preventing unwanted bunching of strings and/or material when tension is applied to the string system). In various embodiments, the channeling system may be disposed within a single layer of a bra garment. For example, a layer of the garment may be made out of an engineered knit technology that allows for the cable mechanism to be incorporated within one single layer of the bra garment.



FIG. 6 illustrates the link system of an example embodiment used to connect the string system 5 to the shoulder straps 12. In various embodiments, the link system 13 may be configured to allow the string 5 to pass through (e.g., connecting the cup system at one end and the adjustment mechanism at the other). In various embodiments, the link system 13 may allow for the adjustment mechanism to simultaneously adjust both the shoulder strap 12 and the bra cup 1 (e.g., via the bands 2). As such, the link system 13 may be attached to the shoulder strap 12 at one end and provide a passthrough for the string 5 at or near the other end of the link system 13. In various embodiments, the link system 13 may be provided at the end of both shoulder straps 12 of the bra garment. In various embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1B, the link system 13 may also be used for other garment adjusters (e.g., to adjust the underarm strap 15). Additionally, in larger sized bra garment, the link system 13 may be implemented in various other positions on a bra garment 100 based on changes in load, frictional forces, and bra proportions. For example, some embodiments of the bra garment 100 may include miniaturized moving components to further reduce friction and resistance to allow for the entire system work smoother and more efficiently. Additionally, various other linkages may be used to carry out adjustments via the adjustment mechanism 110.


As discussed herein, the adjustment mechanism may be configured to be adjust various garment adjusters relating to different bra garment features. For example, the string system 5 may connect the adjustment mechanism 110 to the shoulder straps 12, the bra cup system 300, and/or the underarm strap 15, such that one or more of the shoulder straps 12, the bra cup system 300, and the underarm strap 15 are adjusted based on the engagement of the adjustment mechanism 110. In various embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 110 may be a singular adjustment point for multiple garment adjusters. Additionally, the adjustment mechanism 110 may include one or more adjustment motors configured to automatically adjust at least two garment adjusters upon engagement of the adjustment mechanism 110.



FIGS. 7A and 7B illustrate the functionality of the bra garment 100 in accordance with an example embodiment in an instance in which the adjustment mechanism 110 is located in the back of the bra garment. In various embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 110 may include a motor 81 and battery 83 (discussed in reference to FIG. 8). As shown, the adjustment mechanism 110 may be a singular adjustment point (e.g., on the rear of the bra garment 100). In some embodiments, as shown, the adjustment mechanism 110 may be a motor 81 configured to move an example string system 5, such as the string system 5 discussed herein. In some embodiments, the motor 81 may be connected to a knob or the like to allow for a user to manually adjust the knob to activate the motor in order to adjust the bra garment. In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 110 may be a manual adjustment, such as the one shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, at the location of the motor shown in FIG. 7B.


As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the string system 5 may be connected to the configured to move in such a way to adjust the components of the bra garment as discussed in reference to FIGS. 1-6. For example, the movement of the motor 81 may cause the string system 5 to either increase or decrease the upward force on the bra cup system in an instance in which the motor is activated (e.g., by a user).



FIG. 8 illustrates the channeling system of an example adjustable bra garment in an instance in which the adjustment mechanism 110 is in the rear of the bra garment. Similar to FIG. 5 discussed above, the channeling system may be made of an outer fabric layer 7 onto which a groove 8 is provided. For example, the groove 8 may be provided on the inner side of the outer fabric layer 7 by means of fabric molding. In some embodiments, the groove 8 may be configured to receive a tube 9 (e.g., a specially designed plastic tube). In an example embodiment, the tube 9 may be 2.5 millimeters or less in diameter. In some embodiments, the tube 9 may be disposed in the groove 8. In some embodiments, the outer fabric layer 7 may also define a channel to receive the adjustment mechanism 110 and any associated components. For example, the outer fabric layer 7 may define a motor cavity 80, a battery cavity 84, or the like. In some embodiments, the inner fabric layer 11 may be attached to the inner side of the outer fabric layer 7 (e.g., using a glue film 10). As such, the outer fabric layer 7 and the inner fabric layer 11 may hold the tube 9 within the groove 8, the motor 81 within the motor cavity 80, and/or the battery 83 and battery harness 82 within the battery cavity 84 (e.g., the battery 83 and the battery harness 82 snap together and then are disposed within the battery cavity). In some embodiments, the string 5 discussed herein may be disposed within the tube 9, such that a channel is created to allow for the string 5 to pass through the channel with minimum resistance. Various other cavities may be created (e.g., by fabric molding) to provide for a cavity to house various other components between the outer fabric layer 7 and the inner fabric layer 11.


While the adjustment mechanism 110 including the motor 81 and the battery 83 are shown in an instance in which the adjustment mechanism 110 is in the rear of the bra garment, various other locations for the motor 110 and/or the battery may be contemplated in an instance in which a motor 81 is included as an adjustment mechanism. In some embodiments, an adjustment mechanism 110 may include a manual adjuster, such as the knob shown in FIG. 1, to work in conjunction and/or in place of the motor 81. For example, a manual adjuster may be in communication with the motor 81, such that the movement of the manual adjuster may activate the motor 81. Alternatively, the manual adjuster may work as shown in FIGS. 1-6, such that the movement of the manual adjuster may activate the string system 5 independent of any motor 81 operation.


In various embodiments, the channeling system may be used in adjustable garments (e.g., an adjustable bra garment) such that the string system 5 may travel over the contoured shape of the human body with minimal resistance. Additionally, the channeling system may provide additional garment stability (e.g., additional stability to the center front portion of the bra by preventing unwanted bunching of strings and/or material when tension is applied to the string system).
