1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a seamless brassiere, which particularly relates to the whole comprising a nonwoven lining pad to form a fitted breast cup shape with good comfortable ventilation. Via heat press forming combines parts to a seamless, tight compacted, and lightweight brassiere.
2. Description of the Related Art
The conventional manufacturing methods of brassiere, which are mostly sewing continuously to combine various parts into one, are generally complicated and therefore difficult to achieve quality control. The conventional brassieres can be deformed and threadbare after just normal wear and wash. Although the conventional brassiere design with steel wires has been popular in the market because the steel wires can be used to support breasts, they are generally sewn onto the brassiere with a line of stitches that cause rugged surfaces. Additionally, the shape of a conventional breast cup is configured by a polyurethane foam pad (PU) through gluing and heating. However, such polyurethane foam pad, after undergoing gluing and heating, can be hardened, heavy, and lack proper ventilation.
In view of aforementioned drawbacks in the conventional brassiere, the present invention provides a seamless brassiere with steel wires that can be seamlessly combined with a pad, lining and shield to thin out the breast cup, thereby reducing manufacturing time and costs. Additionally, using non-woven fabric and polyethylene (e.g., Density Polyethylene or DPE) in a heat sealing process, a ventilative and lightweight brassiere can be constructed.
The seamless brassiere of the present invention comprises an outer shield, which further comprises two breast cups and back bands, with an appropriate pattern, a inner lining corresponding to the outer shield, two lining pads of heat-forming elastic nonwoven fabric with DPE sealing, and two steel wires with fabric covers. The seamless brassiere also comprises a fastener set and two shoulder straps for wearing.
The outer shield and the inner lining of the seamless brassier are each made from elastic fabric through handmade cutting or machine made in a mold. The pattern of the outer shield can be constructed through weaving or stitching. The pattern can also be made through a patterned knit which is heat-pressed with the outer shield. The lining pad of elastic non-woven fabric is lighter and more ventilative than the PU.
Sewing the fabric-covered steel wires on the under edges of the lining pads of the outer shield, the seamless brassiere is gluing and heat-pressing assembled from the outer shield, the lining pads with the steel wires, the inner lining, the fastener set, and the shoulder straps.
In the following description, please refer to the drawings.
As shown in
The size and shape of the outer shield 1 are corresponding to the inner lining 2. The lining pads 3 are made of nonwoven fabric with DPE heat-sealing. On the bottom edge of the lining pad 3 is a cove 31 fit for the steel wire 4. The nonwoven fabric made of elastic fiber is lighter and more ventilative than PU utilized in prior arts, and with DEP heat-pressed sealing forms a fit cup in three-dimensional shape. The pattern layer 14 can be made of weaving, drawing, needlework, or a pattern knit heat-pressed combination with the outer shield 1.
To assemble the seamless brassiere, the steel wires 4, as shown in
The foregoing describing of the preferred embodiment of the invention is for the purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise from disclosed. Many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention, which following claims are depended.
