Brassiere

The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202521232725.3, filed on Jun. 16, 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The present application relates to the technical field of maternal and baby products, particularly to a brassiere.

As an essential everyday garment, a brassiere is designed not only to cover and protect the breasts but also to provide optimal support, gathering, and shaping functions to meet diverse wearer needs. However, conventional brassieres exhibit several technical limitations in their support and gathering performance, particularly failing to satisfy users requiring more pronounced bust shaping effects.

In traditional brassiere designs, support and gathering effects are typically achieved through the structural strength of the cup body itself and adjustments of shoulder straps. These conventional designs rely solely on shoulder strap or underband adjustments to generate gathering forces, which cannot effectively create cup-body convergence, resulting in suboptimal bust contouring.

Therefore, there exists a need for an improved brassiere design that addresses these technical deficiencies.

In view of the deficiencies in prior art technologies, the present application provides a brassiere that effectively addresses insufficient breast lifting support and inadequate bust gathering and shaping performance.

To resolve the aforementioned technical problems, one technical solution provided by embodiments of this application is a brassiere comprising: a cup body configured to cover a wearer's breast when worn; and a lifting structure disposed on an inner side of the cup body and spanning between two opposing edges of the cup body, the lifting structure configured to apply a gathering force from the edges toward a center of the cup body when worn.

In one embodiment, a length of the lifting structure is less than 80% of an outer contour diameter of the cup body.

In one embodiment, the lifting structure comprises a single lifting member.

In one embodiment, the lifting structure comprises a first lifting member and a second lifting member, wherein the first and second lifting members at least partially overlap.

In one embodiment: the first lifting member extends transversely along a position between a center and a lower edge of the wearer's breast when worn, and is configured to provide upward lifting to support breast weight and prevent sagging; and the second lifting member extends vertically along a position between the center and a side edge of the wearer's breast when worn, and is configured to provide lateral tension to gather the breast and prevent outward expansion.

In one embodiment, at least a portion of the lifting structure is made of mesh fabric.

In one embodiment, the lifting structure is secured to the cup body via stitched seams or an elastic adhesive film.

In one embodiment, the brassiere further comprises a shoulder strap connected to the cup body.

In one embodiment, the brassiere further comprises a torso-covering portion connected to and surrounding the cup body.

In the embodiments of the present application, the brassiere may comprise a cup bodyand a lifting structure.

The cup bodyis configured to cover a wearer's breast when worn. The cup bodyis a multi-layer molded structure formed through compression molding, providing cushioning, shaping and support effects for the wearer's breast.

The lifting structureis disposed on an inner side of the cup bodyand spans between two opposing edges of the cup body. The lifting structureis configured to apply a gathering force from the edges toward a center of the cup bodyduring wear.

By arranging the lifting structureon the inner side of the cup bodyin this manner, a gathering force from edges to center can be provided during wear, significantly improving breast gathering effect and creating fuller bust contour. The inner side of the cup bodyrefers to the side facing the wearer's skin when the brassiere is worn. It should be noted that the lifting structureis only connected to the edges of the cup bodywhile remaining unconnected to the central portion of the cup body. The lifting structurespanning between the opposing edges of the cup bodycauses the central portion of the cup bodyto bulge upward, thereby achieving the shaping effect. Meanwhile, the lifting structureitself provides supporting effect for the wearer's breast.

The brassiere referred to in the embodiments of the present application includes, but is not limited to, conventional brassieres, sports brassieres, nursing brassieres, pumping brassieres, strapped brassieres, strapless brassieres, and other brassieres with cup bodies, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In one embodiment, a length of the lifting structureis less than 80% of an outer contour diameter of the cup body. By having the length of the lifting structureless than 80% of the cup body diameter, the lifting structureremains in a tensioned state that pulls the edges of the cup bodytoward the center, thereby enhancing the gathering effect of the cup body.

This design ensures that the lifting structure maintains constant tension during wear, effectively improving breast support and shaping functions. Furthermore, since the lifting structure does not completely cover the central area of the cup body, this localized force application avoids discomfort for the wearer while ensuring more natural and conforming gathering effects. In practical applications, this design can be flexibly adapted to different cup body shapes to accommodate various brassiere styles, further enhancing wearing comfort and functionality.

As shown in, in the first embodiment of the present application, the lifting structurecomprises a single lifting member. The lifting memberextends transversely along a position between the center and lower edge of the wearer's breast during wear, and is configured to provide upward lifting to support breast weight and prevent sagging. In this embodiment, the cup bodyis substantially annular in shape, with the lifting structurepositioned in the lower half region of the cup body.

The lifting memberis made of a fiber composite material with certain elasticity. This material not only provides stable supporting force but can also stretch appropriately according to the wearer's body movements, thereby ensuring wearing comfort. Furthermore, both ends of the lifting memberare connected to the side wings of the brassiere through a special fastening method. This connection design effectively distributes the stress points on the breast, preventing discomfort caused by excessive localized pressure.

As shown in, in the second embodiment of the present application, the lifting structureincludes a first lifting memberand a second lifting member, wherein the first lifting memberand the second lifting memberat least partially overlap.

The upper edges of the first lifting memberand the second lifting memberintersect with each other, forming a V-shaped structure to enhance the upward lifting effect.

In one embodiment: The first lifting memberextends transversely along a position between the center and lower edge of the wearer's breast during wear, and is configured to provide upward lifting to support breast weight and prevent sagging; The second lifting memberextends vertically along a position between the center and side edge of the wearer's breast during wear, and is configured to provide lateral tension to gather the breast and prevent outward expansion.

The lifting structurecan be designed with either a single lifting member or multiple lifting members according to requirements, enabling flexible adaptation to different users' breast characteristics and providing improved lifting and gathering effects.

As shown in, in the third embodiment of the present application, the lifting structurecomprises a single lifting member. The lifting memberextends vertically along a position between the center and side edge of the wearer's breast during wear, and is configured to provide lateral tension to gather the breast and prevent outward expansion.

In one embodiment, at least a portion of the lifting structure is made of mesh fabric. The lifting structure may be constructed from lightweight, breathable materials such as mesh fabric, which ensures both support effectiveness and enhanced wearing comfort.

In one embodiment, the lifting structure is secured to the cup body via stitched seams or an elastic adhesive film. The stitched seams or elastic adhesive film fixation ensures structural stability and durability. Additionally, stitched seams allow for customizable thread materials and stitching patterns to enhance aesthetic appeal and fit, while the elastic adhesive film reduces localized pressure for improved comfort. This versatile fastening approach satisfies diverse user needs for both functionality and appearance.

As shown in, in one embodiment, the brassiere further comprises a shoulder strapconnected to the cup body.
