  • Patent number: 8597072
    Abstract: A strap assembly includes a chest strap and shoulder straps. Similarly configured left and right cups are provided. Each cup has inside and outside surfaces. A rectangular patch is operatively associated with each cup. Each patch has upper and lower edges and interior and exterior edges. In this manner a periphery is coupled to an associated cup. A linear slit is formed in each patch parallel with, and closely spaced from, the upper edge of each patch. Each slit has an elastic band within the patch surrounding the slit. The elastic band is adapted to return the slit to a closed orientation. The elastic band is further adapted to allow the slit to stretch to an enlarged orientation.
