Description

ISSUES

The present invention addresses the issues to provide for the structure that solves the aforesaid problems, provides the semipermanently durable exterior form that can be used repetitively, and provides the replaceable interior pad to be replaced by the user from time to time. In addition, the present invention addresses the issue to provide for the structure wherein an effect of a breast push-up enhancement can be expected by fixing the adhesively attachable bras at adequate positions using the connector provided with the movable part.

MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS

Each cup of the adhesively attachable bras of the present invention comprises the exterior form and the interior pad. Male portions and female portions of the hook-and-loop fastener are correlatively positioned on each of the exterior form and the interior pad to engage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DESIGN

1. Field of the Invention

This present invention relates to a double-layered cup structure that allows an adhesively attachable strapless, backless bra comprising an exterior form and an interior pad to be both removable and replaceable.

2. Background of the Invention

Various kinds of bras applied to compensate and protect women's breasts have been marketed in recent years. Among them, an adhesively attachable bra comprising a formed cup having an adhesive which is made from synthetic resin and the like coated on the inner surface to adhere directly to a user's skin is used conventionally.

Despite the popularity of the said adhesively attachable bra, it is difficult to wear the same cup everyday. Due to the nature of the adhesive applied to adhere to the user's skin, the cup of the said bra must be washed and dried in order to remove unwanted particles such as debris of skin oil before wearing. It is also difficult for the user to afford multiple pairs of the said bras because it includes expensive materials such as synthetic resin and the like for a main frame of the cup and an expensive adhesive disposed to the adhesive portion.

The angle of the cups are not adjustable at a user's desired angle because of the fixed connector.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Problems

Issues that the Present Invention is in Attempt to Solve

Although the said bra withstands repetitive use by washing, it is not endless and a considerable amount of deterioration may be felt. However, the expensiveness of the said bra can cause the user to pursue the further use feeling anxious about detachment and declination of the cups.

The double-layered cup structure comprising the exterior form and the interior pad allows the user to arbitrarily replace the interior pad that comprises the susceptible adhesive surface to deterioration. As a result, the present structure provides comfort wearing for the user whenever it is worn and eliminates the need of possessing multiple pairs of the expensive, adhesively attachable bras.

A hole being provided in the region where the user's nipple contacts may reduce the discomfort which may be felt on the top of the breast and may protect the sensitive part the adjoining surfaces of the exterior form and on the interior pad have improved the aeration.

A movable part being provided for the connector which is adapted to adjoin the left and right cups allows the user a customizable positioning at a desired angle.

The present invention addresses the issues to provide for the structure that solves the aforesaid problems, and provides the semipermanently durable exterior form that can be used repetitively and the replaceable interior pad to be replaced by the user from time to time. In addition, the present invention addresses the issue to provide for the structure wherein an effect of a breast push-up enhancement can be expected by fixing the adhesively attachable bras at adequate positions using the connector provided with the movable part.

Means to Solve the Problem

Each cup of the adhesively attachable bras of the present invention comprises the exterior form FIG. 1 and the interior pad FIG. 2. Male portions and female portions FIG. 4 of the hook-and-loop fastener are correlatively disposed on each of the exterior form and the interior pad to engage. FIG. 3.

By disposing the male portions of the hook-and-loop fastener along the outer circumference of the pad FIG. 4, the exterior form and interior pad can be adjoined while maintaining the three dimensional shape.

The adhesive is absent in one region a on the inner surface of the interior pad FIG. 2 where the top of the user's breast contacts. In this region, the substrate of the interior pad is exposed so as to protect the top of the breast that is covered with the cup from the adhesion.

The present structure allows the user to attach the bras using the hole as indicator thereby a sense of stability can be provided.

By attaching the adhesive parts of the interior pads of the cups to the user's breasts and then by adjoining the connector, the user's breasts can naturally be pulled to the center and create a shapely appearance.

Both of the left and right cups are adjoined by engaging the concave-convex connector portions FIG. 5. b1-b2 is the movable part of the connector thereby the customizable positioning of the cups at a user's desired angle is made available.

EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

As described in FIG. 1-FIG. 5, each of the bra cups comprises the double layer of the exterior form and the interior pad. The adhesive is coated on the inner surface of the interior pad. The part c is provided to adjoin the left and right cups. The inner surface of the interior pad has the absent region of the adhesive in order to protect the top of the breast.

The connector to adjoin the left and right cups comprises the concave portion and convex portion to be engaged. By providing the movable part for the connector, the cups can be freely positioned at any angle by 180 degrees at the maximum after the connector is engaged.

THE BEST CONDITION TO EXECUTE THE PRESENT DESIGN

It is preferred to employ Poly urethan or Estheran as a substrate of the exterior form of the cup. In terms of the execution condition of the present invention, the cup employs Poly urethan or Estheran and is sewed.

In addition, it is preferred to employ Poly urethan or Estheran as a substrate of the interior pad. In terms of the execution condition of the present invention, the cup employs Poly urethan or Estheran and is sewed.

The exterior form and the interior pad are adjoined by the hook-and-loop fasteners consisting of the male and the female portions. The male portions of the hook-and-loop fastener d are intermittently disposed along the outer circumference of the pad thereby the contoured shape of the composite cup and the improvement of the aeration can be achieved. Because the fasteners are most likely to contact directly to the skin, a medical fastener which is used for infant's diapers is employed to this present design. The Pile-and-Hook fastener can alternatively be employed.

An adhesive silicon gel used generally for the other adhesively attachable bra can be employed to constitute the adhesive layer of the present invention. However, in consideration of the impact to the user's skin and in order to improve the durability of the adhesive, the medical silicon is preferred to be applied.

The procedure of wearing the attachable bras is;

Firstly, disengage the connector portions in order to separate the left and right cups. The exterior form and the interior pad should not be separated and remain adjoined.

Hold one of the cups and place it at an appropriate position on the under breast and attaches it gradually up toward the top along the contour of the breast. At the top of the breast, press the cup down onto the skin with the fingers to have it closely adhered to the skin. Adjust the application of the cup to achieve a desired shape of the breast according to the user's needs. After following the same steps for the other cup, engage the connector parts disposed on both of the cups and adjoin the left and right cups.

By means of the aforesaid wearing procedure of the bras, the breasts are pulled inward and lifted upward, and the cups are adjoined by the connector. As a result, a sense of stability may be provided.

The aforesaid embodiment is only one case of many others. Thus, it is also possible that variations and modifications to the embodiment of the present invention may be added without departing from the scope of the invention described on the claim to execute the present invention.
