Abstract
An electromagnetic wave proof cup structure for bra includes a first layer, a second layer and an intermediate layer joined to the first and the second layers. The intermediate layer contains metallic fiber so as to screen the electromagnetic wave and the contact area between the breast and the bra cup can be reduced effectively to decrease the hurt resulting from electromagnetic wave. The intermediate layer includes a first sheet piece and a second sheet piece and the two sheet pieces are attached to two lateral sides of the bra cup respectively in a way of extending upward so that the breast can be held upward and centrally disposed in the bra cup.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a brassiere, and particularly to a structure of bra cup in a brassiere to provide a function of resisting electromagnetic wave.
2. Description of Related Art
Most women wear a brassiere every day to support their breasts so as to provide a sense of beauty. There are a lot of inventions related to the brassiere and, for instance, Taiwanese Patent Publish No. 393906 discloses an improved structure of massage type brassiere, which provides a function of breast massage. Next, Taiwanese Patent Publish No. 3575553 discloses an improved structure of bra cup, which discloses a bra cup with magnets being sewed to the intermediate layer in proper places thereof for balancing the magnetic field of the human body. Further, Taiwanese Patent Publish No. 334693, which discloses an improved structure of magnetic brassiere, and Taiwanese Patent Publish No. 308804, which discloses a liquid adjustment type healthy magnetic wave brassiere, are provided with similar functions.
The electromagnetic wave has hurt the human body and typical career women face the screen when operating a computer every day. The electromagnetic waves are emitted from the computer, over a long period of time will adversely affect thier bodies Especially since, the breasts of women jut out of their bodies and are closest to the computer so that the risk of harm from the electromagnetic wave to the breast tissues can result in an abnormal pathology.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a structure of bra cup, which has a capability of resisting electromagnetic wave.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a structure of bra cup, which has a function of centrally holding the breast upward.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention can be more fully understood by reference to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1
is a perspective view of a bra cup of a first embodiment according to the present invention;
FIG. 2
is an exploded perspective view of the bra cup shown in
FIG. 1
;
FIG. 3
is a perspective view of a second embodiment of a bra cup according to the present invention;
FIG. 4
is an exploded perspective view of the bra cup shown in
FIG. 3
; and
FIG. 5
is an exploded perspective view of a third embodiment of the bra cup according to the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2
, the first embodiment of the bra cup
10
according to the present invention includes a first layer
11
, a second layer
12
and an intermediate layer
13
and the first and the second layers
11
,
12
are made of elastic material such as foam material. The intermediate layer
13
is disposed between the first layer
11
and the second layer
12
and joined to both the first and the second layers
11
,
12
with adhesive. The intermediate layer
13
is woven with a mixture of stainless steel fiber and cotton thread and the stainless steel fiber occupies 5-25% of the bra cup and the cotton thread occupies the rest 75-95%. It is preferable that the stainless steel fiber occupies 10% and the cotton thread occupies 90%.
Because the metallic material provides a function of screening out electromagnetic wave, the bra cup
10
containing the intermediate layer
13
with the stainless steel fiber provides an effect of resisting the electromagnetic wave. Hence, it is capable of reducing the exposure of the breast to the electromagnetic wave so as to lower the risk of harm to the breast.
Referring to
FIGS. 3 and 4
, the second embodiment of the present invention illustrates a bra cup
20
, which includes a first layer
21
, a second layer
22
and an intermediate layer
23
. The first and second layers
21
,
22
are made of elastic material such as foam material and the intermediate layer
23
is disposed between the first and the second layers
21
,
22
and woven with an mixture of stainless steel fiber and cotton thread. The intermediate layer
23
further includes a first sheet piece
231
and a second sheet piece
232
and both the sheet pieces
231
,
232
are separated from each other. The intermediate layer
23
is less elastic and ductile than the first and the second layers
21
,
22
to allow the bra cup
20
providing a function of keeping the shape of bar cup. The first sheet
231
and the second sheet
232
are joined to two lateral sides of the bar cup
20
respectively and extend upwardly from the lower end thereof so that the breast can be held upward. Further, due to the first and the second sheets
231
,
232
, the breast can be held upward from two lateral sides thereof so as to be centrally disposed with sense of beauty.
Referring to
FIG. 5
, the third embodiment of the present invention illustrates a bra cup
30
, which includes a first layer
31
, a second layer
32
and an intermediate layer
33
. The first and the second layers
31
,
32
are made of elastic material such as foam and the intermediate layer
33
is disposed between the first and the second layers
31
,
32
and woven by way of a mixture of stainless steel fiber and cotton thread. The intermediate layer
33
is provided with a plurality of air apertures
331
for enhancing ventilation.
It is noted that the intermediate layer can be fabricated by way of pressing instead of being woven and the cotton thread used can be taken place with non-metallic fiber such as fibers of animals or plants or chemical fibers. Further, it is not restricted that the size of the intermediate layer, the amount of the sheet pieces and the joining area between the first layer and the second layer are not restricted. In addition, gold, silver or other metallic fibers can be used instead of the stainless fibers as long as they are capable of resisting electromagnetic wave.
While the invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that modifications or variations maybe easily made without departing from the spirit of this invention which is defined by the appended claims.
