Abstract
The present invention proposes an air bag type brassiere, which uses a small air intake pump operated by pressing to draw external air into air bags imbedded therein so that the user can exactly adjust the air bags to the required size. Moreover, the air bags can be deflated for adjustment or storage by pressing the air relief valve on the air bags. Additionally, a number of exhaust holes are arranged at the places fused by high-frequency wave at the edges of the air bags to radiate heat generated by human body. Thereby, the user will not feel hot and moist.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an air bag type brassiere and, more particularly, to a brassiere which uses a small air intake pump operated by pressing to draw air into air bags imbedded in the brassiere so that the user can exactly adjust the air bags to the required size.
2. Prior Art
In an air bag type brassiere of the prior art, shown in
FIG. 1
, air bags A are imbedded in two cups B
1
of a brassiere B. An inflation opening A
1
is arranged at one side of each of the air bags A. When it is necessary to blow in air, a blow pipe A
2
is first inserted in the inflation opening A
1
of each of the air bags A, and air is then blown into the air bags A in the same way air is blown into a balloon until the air bags A gradually expand to the required size.
Because air is blown into the air bags A by the user, the quantity of blown-in air will not be equal each time, so the two cups B
1
of the brassiere B will not be the same size. Much time is needed for adjustment. Moreover, because it is necessary to place the blow pipe A
2
into the user's mouth for flowing in air, such results in inconvenience and inelegance.
Therefore, the method of inflation of the air bags in the prior art air bag type brassiere is very inconvenient and time consuming. Moreover, it is very inelegant to adjust the brassiere in public places extemporaneously. Private and fast adjustment can not be achieved.
To sum up, the prior art air type brassiere has the following drawbacks.
1. The quantity of inflation air will not be equal each time so that the two cups of the brassiere will not be equal in size. Much time will then be wasted for adjustment.
2. When it is necessary to adjust the brassiere in a public place, a blow pipe is first inserted therein and then placed in the mouth for blowing air into the air bag. Much inconvenience and inelegance results.
3. Because the air blown into the air bag contains hot and moist air, the air bags will exude heat and moisture, so that the user will feel uncomfortable.
4. After being inflated many times, the air bags will accumulate saliva blown out from the user's mouth. Constant cleaning is required, resulting in time consuming and inconvenient use.
Therefore, the structure of the prior art air bag type brassiere needs to be improved to overcome the above drawbacks.
SUMMARY AND OBJECTS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to provide an air bag type brassiere, which uses a small air intake pump operated by pressing to draw air into air bags imbedded therein so that the user can adjust the air bags to exactly the desired size.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an air bag typ brassiere, wherein air bags can be deflated for adjustment or storage by pressing an air relief valve arranged at one end of each of the air bags.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an air bag type brassiere, wherein a number of ventilation holes can be arranged at locations fused by high-frequency energy at the edges of the air bags, to radiate heat generated by the human body. Thereby, the user will not feel hot and moist.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawings, in which:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
As shown in
FIGS. 2
,
3
,
4
A,
4
B, and
4
C, the present invention provides an air bag type brassiere, wherein two dissymmetrical air bags
1
are embedded in two cups
21
of a brassiere
2
. The air bag
1
comprises a large air-collecting room
12
and a blast pump
11
. An air relief valve
121
is installed at the internal front end of the large air-collecting room
12
. The air relief valve
121
is internally connected to a first resilient element
122
. The first resilient element
122
can be a spring. The volume of the blast pump
11
is slightly smaller than that of the large air-collecting room
12
and is fixedly installed at the internal rear end thereof. The blast pump
11
is a small air-collecting room
114
with a press part
111
, an air intake valve
112
, a blast valve
112
, a blast valve
113
, and a second resilient element
115
installed thereon. The second resilient element
115
can be a spring. The press part
111
is installed at the outer side of the blast pump
11
. The air intake valve
112
is installed at the internal rear part of the blast pump
11
. The blast valve
113
is installed at the internal front end of the blast pump
11
and is connected to the first resilient element
122
. The second resilient element
115
is connected to the air intake valve
112
and the blast valve
113
.
When the user presses the press part
111
on the blast pump
11
, the blast valve
113
will push forwards to let the air in the blast pump
11
be transferred to the large air-collecting room
12
. Next, the blast valve
113
will restore to its original position to close the opening due to the resiliency of the first resilient element
112
. When the press part
111
is released, the air intake valve
112
will push forwards to let some ambient air, external to the blast pump
11
, be stored in the blast pump
11
, and then close the opening. Continually pressing the press part
111
will let the large air-collecting room
12
be inflated gradually until the cups
21
sheathed outsides are inflated to saturation. On the other hand, when the user pushes the air relief valve
121
backwards lightly, the large air-collecting room
12
will gradually discharge the air therein and be deflated so that the cups
21
will also be deflated. When the air relief valve
121
is released, it will restore to its original position to close the opening due to the resiliency of the first resilient element
122
. Thereby, the size of the brassiere
2
can be adjusted.
Additionally, a number of ventilation holes
13
can be arranged at locations fused by high-frequency energy at the edges of the air bags
1
to radiate heat generated by the user's body. Thereby, the user will not feel hot and moist.
As shown in
FIG. 5
, the present invention can uplift the breasts of a woman wearing the brassiere
2
to show her fullness.
As is described above, the inflation method of the present invention is very convenient and easy. Only pressing the pres parts at the inner sides of the breasts is required to extemporaneously adjust the brassiere in a public place. Private, fast, and efficient adjustment of the brassiere can thus be achieved.
To sum up, the present invention has the following advantages.
1. Because the size of each air-collecting room is equal, the quantity of inflation air pumped each time is also equal. Therefore, the two cups of the brassiere will be of the same size. Time will not be wasted for adjustment of the brassiere.
2. Only the press parts need to be pressed when the user needs to adjust the brassiere in a public place. Therefore, inconvenience and inelegance does not arise.
3. Because the inflation air is ambient air, the user will not feel uncomfortable.
4. Because the inflation air is ambient air, the air bags will not accumulate spittle from the user's mouth. Therefore, cleaning and maintenance will be very convenient.
The present invention provides an air type brassiere, which uses a small air intake pump operated by pressing to draw ambient air external to the air intake pump, into air bags imbedded in the brassiere, so that the user can adjust the air bags to exactly the desired size. Moreover, the air bags can be deflated for adjustment or storage by pressing the air relief valves on the air bags. Additionally, a number of ventilation holes are arranged at locations fused by high-frequency energy at the edges of the air bags, to radiate heat generated by the user's body. Thereby, the user will not feel hot and moist.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have been suggested in the foregoing description, and others will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, all such substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
