  • Patent number: 11324262
    Abstract: A breast support has a supporting bracket being elastic, integrally formed as a single part, and having two arc-shaped frame plates. An outer end of each arc-shaped frame plate bends inwardly to form a holding portion. With the breast support, contact area between the breast support and two breasts of a wearer is greatly reduced. Thus, discomfort due to sweltering and sweating can be avoided. Moreover, the breast support is stably mounted on a chest of the wearer and holds lower portions of the two breasts. Therefore, the breast support does not fall from the wearer due to the loss of stickiness. Accordingly, the breast support is able to push the breasts upward and inward and prevents the breasts from expansion and sagging.
