20110151749 | WOMEN'S UNDERGARMENT - A breast support garment including a band of elastic material dimensioned to form a shelf beneath a user's breasts. The sides of the band are shaped to extend from the front chest portion to a rear back portion and to meet at the back. The support garment has a two side shoulder straps each connected to said band of material from the front in vertical alignment with a user's shoulder and connected to said band of material from the rear in vertical alignment with the user's shoulder. This support garment may include a unitary underpant portion. | 06-23-2011 |
20120122370 | Internal Support Structure For An Athletic Support Bra, And Associated Method Of Fabrication - A support structure for a bra includes a two-ply structural support layer having an m-shaped ply of compression fabric, forming left and right openings along a bottom aspect of the m-shaped ply, and a w-shaped ply of compression fabric, forming left and right openings along a top aspect of the w-shaped ply. The m- and w-shaped plies are joined together such that the left and right openings of each ply overlap to form left and right pockets for accommodating at least a portion of a wearer's left and right breasts. The support structure encapsulates and separates the breasts. When joined with straps of a sports bra or top, the two-ply structural support layer provides sling-type support of the breasts. Compressive fabric of the bra or top compresses the breasts to a wearer's chest; thus, a bra or top incorporating the support structure provides three-way support via encapsulation, suspension and compression. | 05-17-2012 |
20120129430 | UPLIFT BRA - The bra comprises a breast containment zone defined by two breast cups engaged to a perimeter element. The perimeter element has a base and two peripheral sides extending from each side of the base, forming a āUā shape that extends about each breast cup. A chest band is engaged to and extends bilaterally away from each breast cup, to encompass the torso of a wearer. The chest band has a lower elongate zone to apply a first force to said perimeter element at the base of the perimeter element, and an upper elongate zone to apply a second force adjacent each breast cup to said perimeter element at the each peripheral side of the perimeter element and at a distance away from said base of the perimeter element. | 05-24-2012 |
20120142253 | Lactation Suppression Garment - A lactation suppression garment includes a breast coverage section and a wrap section to support and apply a highly adjustable compressive force against a wearer's breast to provide perfect fit and alleviate swelling and pain and other discomforts associated with the lactation suppression process | 06-07-2012 |
20120225608 | BREAST BAND - A breast band includes a resilient, elastic band that, in some embodiments, is covered by a soft, moisture absorbent fabric, and also includes an adjustable closure as well as two axilla-accommodating regions or two nascent axilla-accommodating regions. | 09-06-2012 |
20140357159 | BRASSIERE WITH ADJUSTABLE SPACING BETWEEN CUPS - The brassiere with adjustable spacing between cups includes an elastic band adapted for releasable mounting about a user's torso and a pair of shoulder straps secured thereto. A pair of fabric cups are secured to the elastic band for supporting the user's breasts. A lower portion of each cup has a channel defined therein and an open end. Each end of an elongate, flexible support wire or member is slidably disposed within a respective one of the channels. Additionally, a pair of flaps are respectively secured to the pair of fabric cups. Each of the flaps has a free end for selective positioning adjacent a respective open end of each of the channels. The free ends may be secured together such that when the flaps are secured, the support wire allows the spacing between the cups to decrease, thus providing additional inward and upward support for the user's breasts. | 12-04-2014 |
20160000154 | Anti-Wrinkle Bra for Sleeping - A cupless sleeping bra to minimize wrinkling between the breasts of the wearer by separating the breasts when the wearer is in a sleeping position, the bra having a pair of elastic breast bands each defining an oval portion to receive a breast, a releasable clasping mechanism, a pair of shoulder straps, and a pair of elastic cross members extending between the oval portions of the breast bands across the intra-breast area. The tensile strength of the bands is greater than the tensile strength of the cross members, such that the cross members are readily stretched and the oval portions are pulled apart to separate the breasts and tension the skin of the intra-breast area when the bra is worn. | 01-07-2016 |
