The present invention generally relates to a brassiere, and more particularly relates to a one-time wearable brassiere for supporting and lifting breasts.
There are bras and other support techniques known in the art for female breast support. However, large breasts are difficult to support. Bras and other clothing supports tend to add significant tension and stress to the back and shoulders. Conventional brassieres provide support to an individual's breasts by holding the individual's breasts in cups that are supported on the individual by straps around the individual's back and/or shoulder straps.
Strapless bras are required to be worn with dresses like tunic, shift, slip, baby-doll, off-shoulder etc. Strapless bras are not comfortable as they start sliding down. Further, the strapless bras do not provide any uplifting of sagging breasts. Furthermore, the lack of effective support for large breasted woman causes significant problems—physical pains, inability to wear certain clothing, inability to participate in certain activities such as athletics, etc.
Various types of adhesive brassiere are also currently available in the market. The user peels of the plastic backing layer to attach the brassier cups to the breast of the user. Generally, adhesives which hold strapless bras in place lose their effectiveness upon exposure to moisture, humidity and turbidity while being worn or during the laundering process. Thus, the adhesive brassiere becomes ineffective in holding the breasts after sometime as they tend to lose the adhesive effectiveness.
Therefore, there is a need of a one-time wearable brassiere for supporting and lifting sagging breasts. Further, the one-time wearable element should be able to stick to the breast for longer duration. Furthermore, the one-time wearable element provides therapeutic effect by improving blood flow in the breast.
In accordance with teachings of the present invention a one-time wearable brassier for supporting and lifting sagging breast is provided.
An object of the present invention is to provide a one-time wearable brassier for supporting and lifting sagging breast. The one-time wearable brassier includes a first layer, an adhesive layer and a removable second layer. The adhesive layer comprising adhesives adheres the first layer to the breast.
The removable second layer covers the adhesive layer. The removable second layer protects the adhesive from dying until the user is ready to apply the first layer along with the adhesive layer to the breast. The first layer is having a pear shaped stretchable woven fabric. The first layer is having a curvy top end, a flat base, a central portion to cover the breast, a curved left bottom edge, a curved right bottom edge, a tapered left side extending from the curved left bottom edge up to the curvy top end, and a right side extending from the curved right bottom edge up to the curvy top end.
The length of flat base is greater than the curvy top end. A user lifts the sagging breast to paste the curved left bottom edge beneath left edge of the breast and further pastes the curved right bottom edge beneath right edge of the breast. Further, the user pastes the central portion of the first layer up to center of the breast and then the user stretches the curvy top end of the first layer up to chest such that the central portion covers the breast while maintaining firmness of the breast in upright position.
Another object of the present invention is to provide the first layer made of cotton and elastic. Further, the adhesive layer is of acrylic coating. Furthermore, the curved right bottom edge extends beyond the flat base. The user lifts the sag breasts to the center. The curved right bottom edge supports the position of the breasts in the center.
Further features and advantages of the present invention, as well as the structure and operation of various embodiments of the present invention, are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
While this technology is illustrated and described in a preferred embodiment, a one-time wearable brassiere for supporting and lifting sagging breasts may be produced in many different configurations forms, and materials. There is depicted in the drawings, and will herein be described in detail, as a preferred embodiment of the invention, with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and the associated functional specifications for its construction and is not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment illustrated.
For purposes of the description hereinafter, the terms “upper”, “lower”, “right”, “left”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “lateral”, “longitudinal”, and derivatives thereof shall relate to the invention as it is oriented in the drawings. It is also to be understood that the specific brassieres, breast support members, and methods of applying such illustrated in the attached drawings, and described in the following specification, are simply exemplary aspects of the disclosure. Hence, specific dimensions and other physical characteristics related to the aspects disclosed herein are not to be considered as limiting.
The first layer 102 is explained in detail in conjunction with
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the removable second layer 106 is transparent or semi-transparent, highly flexible, stretchable, and (preferably) elastically recoverable. Further, the removable second layer 106 is made up of an elastomeric film formed of polyurethane. However, it would be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that various other material such as low molecular weight polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride, may be used to create the removable second layer 106 without deviating from the scope of the present invention.
The length of flat base 110 is greater than the curvy top end 108. The curved left bottom edge 114 and the tapered left side 118 are explained in detail in conjunction with
Similarly, the user 202 pastes the curved right bottom edge (116, shown in
The curved top surface 108 is pasted on the chest 208. However, it would be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the curved top surface 108 may be pasted to any desired location on the user's body based upon the breast size and the type of dress without deviating from the scope of the present invention.
It would be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the user 202 may paste the curved left bottom edge 114 in a way to show desired cleavage. The tapered left side 118 is tapered to allow the users to expose cleavage to desired length and width. The tapered left side 118 is tapered to allow users to wear dresses that show desired cleavage.
Further, the
The first layer 102 have elastic fibers and latex-free hypoallergenic cotton fiber tape with an acrylic heat-activated backing that stretches only along its longitudinal axis. The cotton fibers allow for evaporation and quicker drying leading to longer wear time. Furthermore, the first layer 102 is a Kinesiology Taping known to provide therapeutic effect by improving blood flow in the breast.
The user lifts the breast 200 from right side and pastes the curved right edge bottom edge 116 beneath right edge 602 of the breast 200. The extended curved right bottom edge 116 ensures that the breast 200 does not falls from the right. The extended curved right bottom edge 116 of the one-time wearable brassiere 100 ensures that breast 200 does not sag and corrects the shape by moving to breast 200 from right side to the central portion.
The present invention offers various advantages such as weightless brassiere. The one-time wearable brassiere molds according to the shape of the breast and thus maintains the required shape. The one-time wearable brassiere further provides extended support without the usage of straps, cups, wire or bands. Furthermore, the present invention allows a girl to wear most type of dresses without worrying about the straps and shape of the breast.
The above described embodiments should be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive. Accordingly, it should be appreciated that variations to those embodiments may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.
