The present invention relates generally to clothing accessory systems, and more specifically, to an undergarment support system for women.
Undergarment systems are well known in the art and are effective means to provide user support. For example,
One of the problems commonly associated with system 101 is its uncomfortable fit. For example, the band of system 101 may place uncomfortable pressure along areas of the user's midsection and shoulders.
Accordingly, although great strides have been made in the area of undergarment systems, many shortcomings remain.
The novel features believed characteristic of the embodiments of the present application are set forth in the appended claims. However, the embodiments themselves, as well as a preferred mode of use, and further objectives and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
While the system and method of use of the present application is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and are herein described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the description herein of specific embodiments is not intended to limit the invention to the particular embodiment disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present application as defined by the appended claims.
Illustrative embodiments of the system and method of use of the present application are provided below. It will of course be appreciated that in the development of any actual embodiment, numerous implementation-specific decisions will be made to achieve the developer's specific goals, such as compliance with system-related and business-related constraints, which will vary from one implementation to another. Moreover, it will be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time-consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine undertaking for those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure.
The system and method of use in accordance with the present application overcomes one or more of the above-discussed problems commonly associated with conventional undergarment systems. Specifically, the present invention reduces pressure along the user's midsection and shoulders. In addition, the present invention provides undergarment support and structure. These and other unique features of the system and method of use are discussed below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
The system and method of use will be understood, both as to its structure and operation, from the accompanying drawings, taken in conjunction with the accompanying description. Several embodiments of the system are presented herein. It should be understood that various components, parts, and features of the different embodiments may be combined together and/or interchanged with one another, all of which are within the scope of the present application, even though not all variations and particular embodiments are shown in the drawings. It should also be understood that the mixing and matching of features, elements, and/or functions between various embodiments is expressly contemplated herein so that one of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate from this disclosure that the features, elements, and/or functions of one embodiment may be incorporated into another embodiment as appropriate, unless described otherwise.
The preferred embodiment herein described is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. It is chosen and described to explain the principles of the invention and its application and practical use to enable others skilled in the art to follow its teachings.
Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters identify corresponding or similar elements throughout the several views,
In the contemplated embodiment, system 201 includes suspender 202 in communication with the user's bra 203 and lower body clothing (pants, skirt, underwear, etc.) 204. As shown in
When used, the top and bottom connectors 302, 303 are connected to the user's bra 203 and lower body garment 204 to relieve pressure along the user's midsection and shoulders provide additional clothing support and structure.
It should be appreciated that one of the unique features believed characteristic of the present application is versatility of system 201 due to the adjustability of the connectors 302a, 302b, 303 and belt strap 301. It is understood that system 201 can be used in conjunction with most bras and adjusted by the user for comfort.
It is contemplated that the belt strap 301 can be fastened in the front via a hook and loop fastener, hook and eye fasteners, or any other means as well as vary in size and material. In addition, it is contemplated that the connectors 302a, 302b, 303 can be permanent or removable and can vary in quantity, length, and location along the belt 301. Further, it is contemplated that the connectors 302a, 302b, 303 can attach to clothing via snaps, hooks, clamps, or any other means.
Referring specifically to
The particular embodiments disclosed above are illustrative only, as the embodiments may be modified and practiced in different but equivalent manners apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of the teachings herein. It is therefore evident that the particular embodiments disclosed above may be altered or modified, and all such variations are considered within the scope and spirit of the application. Accordingly, the protection sought herein is as set forth in the description. Although the present embodiments are shown above, they are not limited to just these embodiments, but are amenable to various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit thereof.
