Definitions

  • the present invention relates to athletic wear and undergarments for women. More specifically, this invention relates to a bra that provides adjustable support and that may be adapted for high impact activities, such as sports.
  • bra The undergarment known as the bra has been commonly worn by women worldwide since the early twentieth century. Bras are known to provide breast support and comfort on an everyday basis. They are also used for their shaping effects, and more recently, as fashion items.
  • bras of the everyday variety may come in styles such as strapless, underwire, wireless, racerback, front-close, back-close, seamless, padded, push-up, demi, or balconet.
  • styles such as strapless, underwire, wireless, racerback, front-close, back-close, seamless, padded, push-up, demi, or balconet.
  • Different types of bras have also evolved to accommodate particular uses, such as sports bras or maternity bras.
  • Sports bras are generally intended for athletic wear and are characterized by their increased level of breast support. This increased support prevents excessive breast movement that often accompanies high impact activities like sports, thus preventing breast discomfort and stretching of connective tissue.
  • a common design of a sports bra is a pull-over style with an elastic band and racerback straps.
  • sports bras provide increased breast support and decreased breast movement by compressing the breasts and pulling them in closer to the chest.
  • Varieties of modern sports bras provide a range of support capability, often targeted at a particular activity. For example, less supportive sports bras may be targeted at low impact activities such as yoga, while more supportive sports bras may be targeted at high impact activities such as running.
  • sports bras While many sports bras minimize breast movement, they do not provide individualized support for each breast or to accommodate a particular wearer. The result is that a given sports bra may be ill-fitting for a particular wearer; for some it may be too constricting, while for others it may provide inadequate support. In addition, many sports bras do not provide individualized support to accommodate different activities. For example, a sports bra that is designed to be worn during low impact activities may not be appropriate to be worn during high impact activities.
  • an adjustable breast support garment can include a band configured to go around a human chest; a strap configured to hold up the band when worn; a frame including an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion attached or configured to attach to the strap and the lower portion attached to the band; a cup including a first material and having an upper portion, the upper portion configured to adjustably attach to the strap; and a lining proximal to the cup, where the lining can include a second material that is stiffer than the first material.
