Abstract

A brassiere which can prevent the user's nipples from being pressed into the breasts, comprises a pair of floss paddings (1, 1'), a pair of inner linings (2, 2') and an outer cloth layer (3), therein the floss paddings have nipple chambers (11, 11'), the end of which have a through hole (12, 12) and a plurality of small holes (13, 13') so as to provide the nipples with excellent air peameability, the inner linings being made of air permeabile cloth and installed on the inside surface of the floss paddings, the floss paddings and the inner linings being seamed together with the outer cloth layer. The floss paddings may be removed from the brassiere, the inner linings being made of plasticizing material having a nipple chamber which is formed according to the position of the user's nipple (see Figure 7). Alternatively the outer cloth may be seamed with an inward cloth to form a locating part in order to hold a loose floss padding (see Figure 8).

Description

BRASSIERE This invention relates to a brassiere which can prevent the user's nipples from being pressed inwardly, the brassiere being composed of a pair of floss paddings, a pair of inner linings and an outer cloth layer, wherein the floss paddings each have a nipple chamber which is formed to overlie the position of user's nipples, the end of the nipple chambers having respectively a through hole, the surrounding of the through hole having a plurality of small holes, the inner linings being made of air permeable cloth attached on the inside surface of the floss paddings, the inner linings and the floss paddings can be seamed with the outer cloth layer.

The combined brassiere can be connected with shoulder straps and connection belt, therefore the breasts can be supported with the brassiere and the nipples can be put into the nipple chambers so as to prevent them from being pressed into the breasts.

Hitherto, most improvements in the design of brassieres have been directed towards the function of supporting breasts, so most of improvements to brassieres have related to the supporting structure. However, the conventional brassiere, being made of silk or other materials which have poor air permeability have the tendency to make the breasts itch or breed bacteria. Furthermore, the conventional brassiere would press the user's nipples into the breasts if the brassiere covers the breasts tightly, and the inner surface of the brassiere may press and chafe the user's nipples, such as shown in Fig. 1. Thus, the user's nipples would be pressed into the breasts or may be hurt by the brassiere, and may even make the user's nipples deformed causing difficulty in lactation or diseases of the nipples.

It is therefore the main aim of this invention to provide a brassiere which can prevent the user's nipples from being pressed into the breasts. The invention provides a brassiere which comprises a pair of floss paddings, each floss padding having a nipple chamber which is formed to accord with the shape and position of a wearer's nipples, the end of the concave parts having respectively a through hole and a plurality of small holes; a pair of inner linings which being made of high air permeability cloth and having respectively a convex part, the convex parts can be fitted with said nipple chambers so as to make the inner linings can be installed on the inside surface of said floss paddings; an outer cloth layer; said floss paddings and said inner linings can be seamed together with the outer cloth layer; the combined brassiere can be connected with shoulder straps and connection parts, the brassiere characterized in that the user's breasts can be covered and supported firmly with the brassiere and the nipples can be put into said nipple chambers of said floss paddings so as to prevent the nipples from being pressed into the breasts or chafed by the brassiere.

It is another aim of this invention to provide a brassiere having excellent air permeability the end of the nipple chamber of the each floss padding having a through hole. the surrounding of the through hole having a plurality of small holes, furthermore each inner lining and the outer lace layer being made of air permeability cloth so as to provide the brassiere with excellent air permeability.

In the drawingswhich illustrate the preferred embodiments and modes of operation of the invention, and in which like reference characters designate the same or similar Parts throughout the several views: Fig.1 is a sectional view showing the pressing status of the conventional brassiere; Fig.2 is a perspective view showing a brassiere of the present invention; Fig.3 is an exPloded view of this invention; Fig.4 is a sectional view of this invention; Fig.5 is an expioded view showing another embodiment of this invention; Fig.6 is a sectional view showing another emb oddment of this invention in Fig.5; Fig. 7 is a sectional view showing still another embodiment of this invention; and Fig. 8 is a sectional view showing still another embodiment of this invention.

An embodiment of the invention will now be described in detail, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the present invention, brassiere, is composed of a pair of floss paddings 1,1', a pair of inner linings 2,2' and an outer cloth layer 3. The floss paddings 1,1', each have a nipple chamber 11,11' which being formed according to the shape and position of user's nipples. In addition, the floss material has excellent sweat-absorption characteristics and air permeability characteristics. The end of the nipple chambers 11,11' each have a through hole 12,12' a plurality of small holes 13,13' so as to provide the nipples with excellent air permeability. The inner linings 2,2' are made of high air permeability cloth.Each has a convex part 21,21' arranged such that the inner linings 2,2' can be installed on the inside surface of the floss paddings 1,1', the floss paddings 1,1' and the inner linings 2,2' then being seamed together with the outer cloth layer 3. The combined brassiere can be connected with shoulder straps and connecting structure so as to provide a complete product, by means of which the user's breasts can be supported firmly with the brassiere, the nipples entering the nipple chambers 11,11' during wear to prevent the nipples from being pressed into the breasts or chafed by the brassiere.

Referring in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 in a second embodiment of this invention, the floss paddings 1,1' are made of thinner floss material, the nipple chambers 11,11 being extended out the floss paddings 1,1' somewhat, the end of the nipple chambers 11,11' each having a through hole 12,12' and a plurality of small holes 13,13'. Each of the inner linings 2,2' has a convex part 21,21' which is fitted with the nipple chambers 11,11' so as to make the inner linings 2,2' and is installed on the inside surface of the floss paddings 1,1'.

the floss paddings 1,1' and the inner linings 2,2' are seamed together with the outer cloth layer 3, therefore the user's breasts can be supported firmly by the brassiere and the nipples enter the nipple chambers 11,11' so as to prevent he nipples from being pressed into the breasts. The object of the second embodiment is to provide a thinner brassiere for choice.

Referring to Fig. 7, the still another embodiment of this invention, the floss paddings 1,1' are omitted from the brassiere, the inner linings 2,2' being made of plasticizing material and having respectively a nipple chamber which is formed to accord with the position of the user's nipples during wear. The inner linings 2,2' are seamed with the outer cloth layer directly, the combined brassiere can be connected with shoulder straps and connection structure, the nipples being put into the nipple chambers when wearing the brassiere.

Referring to Fig. 8, the still another embodiment of this invention, the edge of the outer cloth layer 3 is seamed together with an inward cloth to form a locating part 2,2'.

The floss paddings 1,1' are installed respectively in the outer cloth layer 3 and their edges are located respectively in the locating parts 2,2'. Therefore the floss paddings 1,1' can be replaced quickly with new ones.
