Abstract
A brassiere sash made of two overlapping pieces of transparent thermoplastic polyurethane. The circumferential edges of the overlapping pieces are joined with high frequency energy to form a central cavity between two overlapping pieces. The central cavity is filled with liquid, perfume and ornamental glittering articles. Each end of the brassiere sash is passed through a buckle ring and then attached to a predetermined position of the brassiere sash.
Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




1. Field of the Invention




The present invention relates to a brassiere sash with innovative features, and more particularly to a brassiere sash which is made of transparent thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and is provided with a central cavity filled with liquid, perfume and ornamental glittering articles, so as to look vivid, glittering and beautiful.




2. Description of the Related Art




Ladies today are becoming more and more tasteful about brassieres. They pay much attention to the practical effect of comfort, protection and the support of the brassiere body.




Referring to

FIG. 1

, although the brassiere body


20


has been constantly improved, the conventional brassiere sashes


10


have been ignored by brassiere manufacturers and users, so that the sashes keep the same style and continue o be made of cotton or fiber. They lack an ornamental visual effect. Modern women would like to add various ornaments on their clothes, so as to become more fashionable. Modern women of the “e-generation” would have another fashion choice if brassiere sashes


10


were improved with some creativity.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a brassiere sash that substantially obviates the drawbacks of conventional brassieres.




An object of the present invention is to provide a brassiere sash which is made of a transparent TPU, and is provided with a central cavity filled with liquid, perfume and ornamental glittering articles, so as to look vivid, glittering and beautiful.




Accordingly, a brassiere sash of the present invention is made of two overlapping pieces of transparent material, TPU. The circumferential edges of the overlapping pieces are pressed together and joined with high frequency energy, to form a central cavity between the two overlapping pieces. After the central cavity is filled with liquid, perfume and ornamental glittering articles, each end of the brassiere sash is passed through one buckle ring and then attached to a predetermined other portion of the brassiere sash, so as to finish the vivid, glittering and beautiful brassiere sash.
