  • Patent number: 4325378
    Abstract: A womens' sports garment, in the general form of a brassiere, for use when engaged in physical activity, and in particular, jogging. The garment provides support, and at the same time, protects the wearer from experiencing discomfort or injury caused by excessive breast movement. The garment comprises an inner liner and outer breast supporting flaps overfitting the liner, the inner liner and outer flaps being independently displaceable, at least in the area adjacent the breasts, and the flaps being adjustably cinchable. The liner may be provided with breast engaging pockets in the general form of a brassiere. The liner may have shoulder straps and may also have an elastic member disposed below the supporting pockets. The two supporting flaps may be connected to the lining behind the breast engaging pockets. When the flaps are cinched together an inward pressure, independent of any vertical loads caused by the weight of the breasts, is created, thereby preventing excessive movement.
