Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a bra, and more particularly to a backless strapless bra.

2. Description of Related Art

With reference to FIG. 9, a conventional backless strapless bra has two cups 20. The cups 20 are connected with each other and correspond to two breasts of a user respectively. Each cup 20 has an inner surface that is sticky, a cup top, and a cup bottom. To wear the bra, the user cleans the breasts and then adheres the cup bottoms to the bottoms of the breasts respectively. The user then adheres the cup tops to the tops of the breasts gradually. After the cups 20 adhere to cover the breasts, the cups 20 are connected with each by a fastener. Finally, the user adjusts the bra to fit the shape of the breasts.

The bra directly adheres to the breasts of the user, and as the bra is backless and strapless, the bra can be worn with revealing garments to achieve an aesthetic effect. However, the bra adheres to the fronts of the breasts and supports the breasts by the cup bottoms because the bra is set by adhering the cup bottoms to the bottoms of the breasts. The bra lacks other support means, such that the support effect of the bra is insufficient.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main object of the present invention is to provide a backless strapless bra, which has two cups and two supporting pieces.

The cups are connected with each other. Each cup has an inner surface, an inner side, an outer side, a cup bottom, and a cup top. The inner surfaces are sticky and are each respectively formed on the cups. The inner side of one of the cups is adjacent to the inner side of the other cup. The outer sides are opposite to the inner sides. Each cup bottom has a bottom edge curved upward.

The supporting pieces are connected with the cup bottoms of the cups and are each respectively located at the outer sides of the cups. Each supporting piece is flexible and has a bottom edge and an inner surface being sticky.

In use, the supporting pieces are first adhered to the bottoms of the breasts by the user to fix the position of the bra relative to the breasts. The cups are adhered to the breasts to cover the breasts gradually. The supporting pieces provide a positioning effect, such that the user can save the time for putting on the bra. The supporting pieces can further increase the adhered area of the bra. As a result, the bra can support the breasts to maintain the shape of the breasts easily.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a first preferred embodiment of a backless strapless bra in accordance with the present invention has two cups 10.

The cups 10 correspond to two breasts of a user and can adhere to cover the breasts respectively. Each cup 10 has an inner surface, an inner side, an outer side, a cup bottom 11, and a cup top 12. The inner surfaces of the cups 10 are sticky, are each respectively formed on the cups 10, and can adhere to the breasts of a user. The inner side of one of the cups 10 is adjacent to the inner side of the other cup 10. The outer side is opposite to the inner side. Each cup bottom 11 has a bottom edge that is curved upward. A connecting piece 13 is connected between the cup bottoms 11 of the cups 10 and is located at the inner sides of the cups 10. The connecting piece 13 is flexible and has an inner surface that is sticky. Two fixing regions 14 are connected with each cup top 12 and are located at the outer side of the corresponding cup 10. Each fixing region 14 has an outer edge. Each outer edge is curved and tilted upward. A supporting piece 15 is connected with each cup bottom 11, and is located at the outer side of the corresponding cup 10. Each supporting piece 15 is flexible and has a bottom edge and an inner surface that is sticky. The bottom edges of the supporting pieces 15 are curved upward.

With reference to FIG. 4, in use, the inner surfaces of the supporting pieces 15 and the inner surface of the connecting piece 13 are adhered to two bottoms of two breasts of a user to fix the position of the bra relative to the breasts. The inner surfaces of the cups 10 are adhered to the breasts from the cup bottoms 11 to the cup tops 12 to cover the breasts in the cups 10. Two accessory breasts of the user are enclosed within the fixing regions 14 to boost up the breasts. The fixing regions 14 can increase the adhered areas of the outer sides of the bra and the user can finely adjust the shape of the breasts by the fixing regions 14. The bra can further push up the breasts by adjusting position of the fixing regions 14 relative to the breasts. The bra has a more apparent bust-up effect when the fixing regions 14 are adhered to the breasts in a higher position than in a lower position.

The bar is worn on the user by first adhering the supporting pieces 15 and the connecting piece 13 to the bottoms of the breasts, and then covering the breasts in the cups 10 gradually. Before the cups 10 cover the breasts, the supporting pieces 15 and the connecting piece 13 provide a positioning effect because the supporting pieces 15 and the connecting piece 13 are adhered to the breasts. Therefore, the user can wear the bra in a correct and appropriate position to decrease the time consumed for the user to adjust the position of the bra relative to the breasts. Additionally, the supporting pieces 15 can further provide a supporting effect because the supporting pieces 15 are adhered to the bottoms of the breasts.

With reference to FIG. 5, in a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, only one fixing region 14A is connected with each cup 10. Each fixing region 14A has an outer edge. Each outer edge is curved and tilted upward. The fixing regions 14A can assist the user in enclosing the accessory breasts. The structure of the second preferred embodiment is same as that of the first preferred embodiment except for the fixing regions 14A. The means of wearing the bra and the supporting effect are also same as those of the first preferred embodiment.

With reference to FIG. 6, in a third preferred embodiment of the present invention, a connecting piece 13B is connected with the cup bottoms 11 of the cups 10B and is located at the inner sides of the cups 10B. The connecting piece 13B is flexible and has an inner surface that is sticky. Two supporting pieces 15B are each respectively connected with the cups 10B and are located at the outer sides of the cups 10B. Each supporting piece 15B is flexible and has an inner surface that is sticky. The connecting piece 13B is connected between the supporting pieces 15B to increase the adhering area and the supporting effect of the bra. The structure of the third preferred embodiment is same as that of the first preferred embodiment except for the connecting piece 13B and the supporting pieces 15B.

With reference to FIG. 7, in a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention, a buckle 13C is connected between the cups 10C and is located at the cup bottoms 11 of the cups 10C and at the inner sides of the cups 10C. In use, the cups 10C adhere to cover the breasts of the user, and then the buckle 13C is buckled to connect between the cups 10C. The structure of the fourth preferred embodiment is same as that of the first preferred embodiment except for the buckle 13C.

With reference to FIG. 8, in a fifth preferred embodiment, two underwires 111 are each respectively mounted in the cup bottoms 11 of the cups 10D. The underwires 111 can enhance the supporting effect of the bra and the structural strength of the cups 10D such that the cups 10D will not be deformed easily. A connecting piece 13D is connected between the cups 10D and is located at the cup bottoms 11 and at the inner sides of the cups 10D. The connecting piece 13D is flexible and has an inner surface that is sticky. Two supporting pieces 15D are connected with the cup bottoms 111 and is located at the outer sides of the cups 10D. The supporting pieces 15D are flexible and each supporting piece 15D has an inner surface that is sticky.
