Abstract:
A garment comprising a less-stretchable component formed at various locations on and as a portion of the garment; wherein the less-stretchable component has less elasticity than that of part of the garment.
Abstract:
An underwire brassiere and breast cup for use in the underwire brassiere. The breast cup provides improved comfort for the wearer by isolating the support wire from the skin of the wearer. Particularly the support wire is positioned along an outer side of a laminated foam core. The laminated foam core can be shaped to have an embossed ridge projecting toward the inner side of the foam core, in a region mirroring the location of the support wire.
Abstract:
A support structure for placement in a lower periphery of a breast cup for a brassiere, the support structure including a support component shaped to follow the curve of at least the underside of a wearer's breast, the support component including a first region formed by a first polymer material and a second region formed by a second polymer material, wherein the first polymer material is harder than the second polymer.
Abstract:
An undercup insert member (10) for a breast support arrangement, for example a brassiere is disclosed. The undercup insert member (10) comprises an elongate curved main portion (12) shaped to conform generally to the shape of the breast to be supported. The undercup insert member (10) is formed of a plastics material.
Abstract:
Garments having one or more laser-cured polymeric regions, methods of making, and laser-cured polymers are provided. The polymeric regions can have cure levels that differ from one another. Further, the polymeric regions can have a variable cure level within the individual region.
Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a three-dimension bra cup support structure comprising at least two fabric layers, at least two nonwoven layers and at least one foam layer. The layers are sandwiched with gel and thermal-pressing to constitute the support structure. The bra cup support structure is flexible and subsidiary closed to the lower periphery of the breast to provide a comfort support structure to users.
Abstract:
There is provided an underwire assembly for use in a brassiere comprising an elongate support member of three-dimensional elongate form. The supporting member extends in at least two planes for conforming to an inferior profile of the breast of a wearer.
Abstract:
Left and right cup portions and a base portion are separated at a bust perimeter position. A border frame made of a resin of a necessary rigidity and flexibility is attached along a separation edge of the base portion. A joining portion is provided unitarily on the border frame. A joiner portion is provided on the cup portion. The cup portion and the base portion are detachably connected by a female-male interconnection of the joiner portion with the joining portion.
Abstract:
An underwire having a spoon-shaped formation and capable of swiveling with respect to the tail of the underwire is provided in a brassiere-type garment to lie with the spoon along the outer side of the breast and to conform to the junction between the breast and the thorax at the outer side.
Abstract:
A garment adapted to support a female chest includes a pair of frontal cup portions of flexible material adapted to cover the chest area of a wearer, each of the cup portions having a perimeter. A multifilament twisted and drawn or swaged cable support element is attached to a portion of the perimeter to provide support for each cup in a manner which is comfortable to the wearer. The multifilament twisted and drawn or swaged cable support element is preferably comprised of a plurality of nickel-titanium wires or a plurality of stainless steel wires, which were formed by first twisting multiple filaments together and then drawing the twisted filaments through multiple dies and/or swaging to form a cable. The multifilament twisted and drawn or swaged cable provides superior support and comfort.
