Aspects herein relate to a support garment having a single-piece pad insert for modesty, shaping, and support.
Traditional pad inserts for bras used to provide shaping or modesty generally comprise separate pad inserts for the left bra cup and the right bra cup that are insertable using small openings positioned on the sides of the bra. It is often difficult to correctly position or re-position the pad inserts due to the small openings, and once positioned, the pad inserts often become displaced during wear and/or during washing. Moreover, because two separate inserts are used, a wearer may be more likely to lose one of the inserts.
Examples of aspects herein are described in detail below with reference to the attached drawing figures, wherein:
The subject matter of the present invention is described with specificity herein to meet statutory requirements. However, the description itself is not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. Rather, the inventors have contemplated that the claimed or disclosed subject matter might also be embodied in other ways, to include different steps or combinations of steps similar to the ones described in this document, in conjunction with other present or future technologies. Moreover, although the terms “step” and/or “block” might be used herein to connote different elements of methods employed, the terms should not be interpreted as implying any particular order among or between various steps herein disclosed unless and except when the order of individual steps is explicitly stated.
At a high level, aspects herein are directed to a bra system comprising a single-piece pad insert and a bra with a front portion formed from a first textile layer and a second textile layer. The front portion of the bra has one or more pocket openings in communication with a pocket space formed between the first and second textile layers of the front portion. In one example aspect, the bra comprises a pocket opening positioned at an upper margin of the front portion. And in another example aspect, the bra comprises a first pocket opening located at a first or right side of the front portion and/or a second pocket opening located at a second or left side of the front portion. The single-piece pad insert is configured to be positioned within the pocket space by way of the pocket openings.
Continuing, the single-piece pad insert comprises a single or unitary pad formed from first and second layers of material and an elastically deformable pad portion positioned between the first and second layers and having a first breast-contacting surface and a second breast-contacting surface. The single-piece pad insert is sized to substantially fill the pocket space formed between the first and second textile layers of the front portion of the bra. In example aspects, the single-piece pad insert comprises a central portion extending between the first breast-contacting surface and the second breast-contacting surface of the pad insert. In further example aspects, the single-piece pad insert may include material extensions that extend from each side of the pad insert and terminate in a right side margin and a left side margin of the pad insert. The material extensions help to more securely seat the pad insert when it is positioned within the pocket space of the bra and are configured to partially curve around the sides of wearer when the bra and pad insert system is utilized by the wearer. Both the central portion and the material extensions may include the elastically deformable pad portion positioned between the first and second layers, but the elastically deformable pad portion in these areas may have a minimal thickness (i.e., less than or equal to about 5 mm) to minimize the weight of the pad insert and to improve flexibility of the pad insert.
By having the pad insert comprise a single piece—as opposed to two separate pads—the pad insert is easier to manipulate by a wearer (due to, for instance, its larger size) and is less likely to be misplaced or lost. In example aspects, the elastically deformable pad portion comprises an open cell foam for breathability, and the first and second layers of material comprise a mesh construction to enhance the breathability achieved by using an open cell foam for the elastically deformable pad portion of the pad insert. In other example aspects, the pad insert may be formed from a spacer mesh material having first and second layers (which may comprise a mesh construction) interknitted with tie yarns. Similar to using an open cell foam, use of a spacer mesh material enables moisture vapor to travel through the material.
When a wearer desires more modesty, shaping, and/or support than is achieved by using the bra alone, the wearer can removably insert the single-piece pad insert into the bra by way of the pocket opening(s) so that it is positioned between the first and second textile layers of the front portion of the bra. Because of the lightweight construction of the single-piece pad insert along with the breathability characteristics achieved by using, for instance, an open cell foam or spacer mesh material and a mesh construction, wearer comfort and/or performance is maintained when the pad insert is utilized. When the wearer no longer wishes to use the single-piece pad insert, the wearer can remove the pad by way of the pocket opening(s). Once removed, the pocket space can be used to stow additional items such as, for example, identification cards, phones, keys, and the like.
Accordingly, aspects herein are directed to a bra system comprising a bra having a front portion. The front portion comprises a first textile layer, a second textile layer positioned adjacent to the first textile layer to define a pocket space between the first textile layer and the second textile layer, and a pocket opening in communication with the pocket space, the pocket opening positioned at an upper margin of the front portion. The bra system additionally comprises a single-piece pad comprising a first layer of material, a second layer of material, and an elastically deformable pad portion positioned between the first layer of material and the second layer of material to form a first breast-contacting surface and a second breast-contacting surface of the single-piece pad insert, where the single-piece pad insert is configured to be positioned in the pocket space of the front portion of the bra by insertion through the pocket opening.
In another example, aspects herein are directed to a bra system comprising a bra having a front portion comprising a first textile layer, a second textile layer positioned adjacent to the first textile layer to define a pocket space between the first textile layer and the second textile layer, a first pocket opening in communication with the pocket space, the first pocket opening positioned at a first side margin of the front portion, and a second pocket opening in communication with the pocket space, the second pocket opening positioned at a second side margin of the front portion. The bra system additionally comprises a single-piece pad insert comprising a first layer of material, a second layer of material, and an elastically deformable pad portion positioned between the first layer of material and the second layer of material to form a first breast-contacting surface and a second breast-contacting surface of the single-piece pad insert, where the single-piece pad insert is configured to be positioned in the pocket space of the front portion of the bra by insertion through one or more of the first pocket opening and the second pocket opening.
In yet another example, aspects herein are directed to a method using a bra having a single-piece pad insert. The method comprises providing a bra having a front portion comprising: 1) a first textile layer, 2) a second textile layer positioned adjacent to the first textile layer to define a pocket space between the first textile layer and the second textile layer, and 3) at least one pocket opening in communication with the pocket space. The method additionally comprises providing a single-piece pad insert comprising: 1) a first layer of material, 2) a second layer of material, 3) and an elastically deformable pad portion positioned between the first layer of material and the second layer of material to form a first breast-contacting surface and a second breast-contacting surface. The method further comprises inserting the single-piece pad insert into the pocket space by way of the pocket opening so that the single-piece pad insert is positioned between the first textile layer and the second textile layer of the bra.
The term “bra” as used herein is meant to encompass any number of support garments such as bras, sport bras, tank tops, camisoles with built-in support, swimming suit tops, body suits, and other styles or types of support garments used to support breast tissue. Further, the term “breast contacting surface” as used herein is meant to encompass any type of structure that is in contact with or positioned adjacent to (though not necessarily in contact with) the wearer's breasts when the support garment is worn. In example aspects, and for a typical wearer, a bra and/or single-piece pad insert would comprise a first breast contacting surface configured to contact or be positioned adjacent to, for instance, a wearer's right breast and a second breast contacting surface configured to contact or be positioned adjacent to, for instance, a wearer's left breast. In example aspects, the bra may comprise a unitary or continuous band of material (molded or unmolded) that makes contact with both of the wearer's breasts. Any and all aspects, and any variation thereof, are contemplated as being within aspects herein.
Positional terms as used herein to describe a bra or support garment such as “front,” “back,” “upper,” “lower,” “bottom,” “inner-facing surface,” “outer-facing surface,” and the like are with respect to an appropriately sized bra or support garment being worn as intended and as shown and described herein by a wearer standing in an upright position. The phrase “configured to contact,” or other similar phrases used when describing different portions of the bra or support garment in relation to a wearer refer to a bra or support garment appropriately sized and dimensioned for the particular wearer. Terms such as “attached,” “secured,” “affixed,” and the like may mean elements that are releasably attached to one another using, for example, snap systems, slider systems, hook-and-loop closure systems, releasable adhesives, buttons, hooks, and the like. These terms may further mean elements that are fixedly attached to one another using, for example, stitching, bonding, welding, and the like.
With respect to the single-piece pad insert, the term “single” means that the pad insert comprises a unitary component configured to cover or be positioned adjacent to both of a wearer's breasts. This is opposed to separate, distinct pad inserts for each of the wearer's breasts (e.g., a first pad insert for the right breast, and a second separate pad insert for the left breast). The term “mesh material” or “mesh construction” when used with respect to the single-piece pad insert may mean a textile having a large number of closely spaced holes. Aspects herein contemplate that the mesh material may be formed from a loosely knitted or woven textile, or the mesh material may be formed by perforating a textile in a post-weaving or post-knitting step to form the holes.
Continuing with respect to the elastically deformable pad portion of the single-piece pad insert, the term “elastically deformable” means a material that is able to spontaneously return to a resting shape after compression or distortion. Example materials that are elastically deformable and that are contemplated herein include foams (both closed cell and open cell foams), spacer mesh materials, silicone materials, and the like. The term “open cell” when describing foam materials means a foam material in which generally more than half of the cells walls are disrupted thereby allowing interconnection between the different cells. Due to the interconnection between the different cells, air and/or moisture vapor can generally move through the foam material. The term “spacer mesh material” as used herein is meant to encompass both warp knit and weft knit spacer knit materials as is known in the art of textiles. Spacer knit materials are generally formed by utilizing at least one tie yarn to interknit first and second layers of the textile. More specifically, each of the first layer and the second layer may be knit separately, and the tie yarn(s) is used to connect the first layer and the second layer where the tie yarn may extend generally perpendicular to the surface plane of the first layer and the second layer. For instance, the tie yarns may have “loop” portions that extend into each of the first layer and the second layer where the loop portions are interlooped with yarns in the first layer and the second layer to connect the two layers. The distance between the first layer and the second layer may be varied by, for instance, varying the length of the tie yarn that extends between the first layer and the second layer. Still further with respect to the elastically deformable pad portion, the term “apex portion” means the central region of the first and second breast-contacting surfaces of the pad portion, where the apex portion is generally configured to cover a respective nipple area of a wearer's breast. The term “peripheral portion” means the outer edge or the area near the outer edge of the first and second breast-contacting surfaces of the pad portion.

With respect to the front portion 110, the front portion 110 comprises a first breast-contacting surface 122 (indicated generally by dashed lines) configured to cover or be positioned adjacent to a wearer's right breast when the bra 100 is worn, and a second breast-contacting surface 124 (indicated generally by dashed lines) configured to cover or be positioned adjacent to a wearer's left breast when the bra 100 is worn. A middle portion 127 extends between the first breast-contacting surface 122 and the second breast-contacting surface 124.
As will be explained in further depth below, in example aspects, the front portion 110 comprises a two-layer construction having a first textile layer 126 and a second textile layer 128 where respective surfaces of the first textile layer 126 and the second textile layer 128 are positioned adjacent to each other to define a pocket space 130 between the first and second textile layers 126 and 128. A pocket opening 132 in communication with the pocket space 130 is positioned at the upper margin 112 of the front portion 110. In example aspects, one or more of the first textile layer 126 and/or the second textile layer 128 may be formed from a textile having stretch and recovery properties (achieved, for instance, using elastic yarns). As will be explained further below, use of textiles having stretch and recovery properties may help provide support to the wearer's breasts and may also help secure the pad insert between the first and second textile layers 126 and 128 when the pad insert is utilized.

In one example aspect, an upper edge 314 of the second textile layer 128 may be generally unaffixed from an upper edge 316 of the first textile layer 126 to form the pocket opening 132 to the pocket space 130. To describe this a different way, the upper edge 314 of the second textile layer 128 may be affixed to the upper edge 316 of the first textile layer 126 on both a first side 318 and a second side 320 of an unaffixed portion of the upper edge 314 of the second textile layer 128 where the unaffixed portion comprises the pocket opening 132 to the pocket space 130. As illustrated in both

Continuing, in example aspects, the first layer of material 412 and the second layer of material 414 may comprise separate pattern pieces affixed together along their respective edges. It is also contemplated herein, that the first layer of material 412 and the second layer of material 414 may comprise a single or unitary piece of material that is folded over to form the front and back of the pad insert 400. In this instance, the single piece of material may be seamed or affixed to itself at one or more edges. Any and all aspects, and any variation thereof, are contemplated as being within aspects herein.
The pad insert 400 further includes an elastically deformable pad portion 420 shown in dashed lines in
As shown more clearly in
The pad insert 400 further comprises a central portion 424 that extends between the first breast-contacting surface 434 and the second breast-contacting surface 436. In example aspects, the central portion 424 comprises the first layer of material 412, the second layer of material 414, and the elastically deformable pad portion 420 as shown in
The pad insert 400 further comprises material extensions 405 that extend from a right side and a left side of the pad insert 400. The terminal ends of the material extensions 405 form the right side margin 422 and the left side margin 423 of the pad insert 400. The material extensions 405 increase the length of the pad insert 400 and enable the pad insert 400 to substantially fill the pocket space 130 (i.e., occupy at least about 70% but not more than 100% of the pocket space 130) when inserted into the bra 100 thus helping to securely seat the pad insert 400 within the pocket space 130. In example aspects, the material extensions 405 include the first layer of material 412, the second layer of material 414, and the elastically deformable pad portion 420 as shown in
With respect to
In an alternative aspect contemplated herein, instead of the elastically deformable pad portion 420 comprising a single piece that extends continuously from the right side margin 422 to the left side margin 423, the pad insert may include a first elastically deformable pad portion and a separate second elastically deformable pad portion, where each of the first and second elastically deformable pad portions is configured to cover a right breast and a left breast respectively of a wearer when the pad insert is used. In other words, the first elastically deformable pad portion includes a first breast-contacting surface, and the second elastically deformable pad portion includes a second breast-contacting surface. In this aspect, the central portion may include the first layer of material and the second layer of material without an elastically deformable pad portion, and the material extensions may include the first layer of material and the second layer of material without the elastically deformable pad portion. Limiting the elastically deformable pad portion to two separate pad portions each having a respective breast-contacting surface further minimizes the weight of the pad insert and promotes breathability and/or permeability of the pad insert.

In one example aspect, a first side edge 1014 of the second textile layer 928 may be generally unaffixed from a first side edge 1016 of the first textile layer 126 to form the first pocket opening 932 to the pocket space 930. Similarly, a second side edge 1018 of the second textile layer 928 may be generally unaffixed from a second side edge 1020 of the first textile layer 926 to form the second pocket opening 934 to the pocket space 930. To describe this a different way, and with respect to the first pocket opening 932, the first side edge 1014 of the second textile layer 928 may be affixed to the first side edge 1016 of the first textile layer 926 on both a first side 1022 and a second side 1024 of an unaffixed portion of the first side edge 1014 of the second textile layer 928 where the unaffixed portion comprises the first pocket opening 932 to the pocket space 930. A similar description is applicable to the second pocket opening 934. The attachment points indicated in
At a step 1312, a single-piece pad insert, such as the single-piece pad insert 400 or the single-piece pad insert 600, is provided (e.g., provided by a manufacturer, third-party supplier, retail store, retail outlet, and the like), where the pad insert comprises a first layer of material, a second layer of material, and an elastically deformable pad portion positioned between the first layer and the second layer to form a first breast-contacting surface and a second breast-contacting surface.
At a step 1314, the single-piece pad insert is positioned in the pocket space of the bra by way of the pocket opening. This action may occur by a manufacturer, a third-party supplier, a retail store, a retail outlet, and/or a wearer. With respect to a wearer, the wearer may insert the pad insert into the bra when additional modesty, shaping, and/or support is desired. Additional steps may comprise removing the single-piece pad insert by way of the pocket opening after use. Once removed the pocket space in the bra may be useable for stowing other items such as, for instance, identification cards, keys, a cell phone, and the like.
