Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO THE RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202210249798.8, filed on Mar. 14, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of nursing bras, and in particular to a nursing bra with pinch-free support.

BACKGROUND

Nursing women's breasts will gain weight and expand due to milk production, resulting in significant sagging of the breasts, especially when nursing women are at work or walking, etc. The sagging of breasts compresses blood vessels, resulting in poor blood circulation. To prevent sagging breasts, nursing women need a nursing bra. General nursing bras use supporting underwires, which can effectively prevent breast sagging. However, the supporting underwires compress the breasts, and easily cause lumps and inflammation of breast tissues, which is not conducive to breastfeeding. In addition, the underwires support the breasts by pinching, which can easily bruise the expanding breasts, causing discomfort when wearing. As for unsupported nursing bras, they cannot prevent breast sagging, and may move up to show supernumerary breasts and cause bruises when hands are raised, thereby resulting in uncomfortable wearing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The present disclosure is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure.

Embodiment 1

In this embodiment, a nursing bra with pinch-free support includes a bra body. A front side of the bra body is provided with two cup structures (1). The bra body includes a W-shaped support (2). The W-shaped support (2) is located below the cup structures (1) to support the cup structures (1). The W-shaped support provides a pinch-free bearing force.
Straps (3) and the cup structures (1) of the bra body are connected or disconnected through nursing clips (4). Nursing women only need to unhook the nursing clip (4) to breastfeed in time. The straps are designed with a wide structure to reduce the pressure on the shoulders, so as to prevent bruises. The straps (3) are provided with adjusters (301) for adjusting a length of the straps. Further, the adjusters (301) are figure 8-shaped clips.
The straps (3) of the bra body are connected to top ends of a back side (5) of the bra body. Further, the straps are connected to the back side of the bra body through figure 9-shaped clips (502). The back side (5) is further provided with clasps (501) for adjusting tightness of the bra body on the under bust girth. The back side (5) further includes back strengthening bars (503). The back strengthening bars (503) are located on an inner side of the back side (5) of the bra body. The back strengthening bars each have one end fixedly connected to a connection between the strap (3) and the back side (5) of the bra body and the other end fixedly connected to a bottom end of the back side (5) of the bra body. The back strengthening bars are configured to improve a structural strength of the back side of the bra body, so as to reduce breakage and deformation and avoid bruises.

Embodiment 2

In this embodiment, as a further improvement of the technical solution of Embodiment 1, two wings of the W-shaped support (2) are raised to cover outer arc edges of the cup structures (1) to provide a lateral pushing and gathering force from an outer side to a center. The raised wings prevent the breasts from spreading outward, such that the breasts are concentrated toward the center, and the underarm fat is gathered to avoid the appearance of supernumerary breasts.

Embodiment 3

In this embodiment, as a further improvement of the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the center of the W-shaped support (2) is raised to cover inner arc edges of the cup structures (1) to position pads and shape round breasts. The raised center prevents the breasts from spreading inward. When the center of the W-shaped support (2) is raised, there is still a space between the two cup structures (1) to be filled with an elastic. In this way, when the breasts continue to expand in 2-3 hours, the nursing bra can stretch laterally to provide room, so as to ensure wearing comfort.

Embodiment 4

In this embodiment, as a further improvement of the technical solution of Embodiment 1, each of the cup structures (1) is formed by adhering an outer fabric (102) and an inner fabric (103) along a breast contour. The outer fabric (102) is located outside the front side of the bra body, and the inner fabric (103) is located inside the front side of the bra body. The breasts of nursing women will change in size in a short period of time, so the outer fabric (102) and the inner fabric (103) are made of elastics.

Embodiment 5

In this embodiment, as a further improvement of the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the bra body further includes pads (6). The pads (6) are teardrop-shaped to shape the breasts and prevent nipple show-through.

Embodiment 6

In this embodiment, as a further improvement of the technical solutions of Embodiments 1 and 5, the cup structures (1) are provided with accommodating spaces (7) and openings (8). The accommodating space (7) has a shape matched with the pad (6), and provides an access to the pad (6) through the opening (8). Further, the opening (8) is provided in the inner fabric (103), close to a side edge of the bra body, and has a length of 3-4.5 cm. Nursing women will spring a leak, which will stain the bra. To thoroughly clean the pads (6), the pads (6) are taken out of the accommodating spaces (7) through the openings (8).

Embodiment 7

In this embodiment, as a further improvement of the technical solution of Embodiment 6, the pad (6) is semi-fixed to a lower edge of the accommodating space (7). Further, the pad (6) is fixed by adhering through an adhering position (602) located at a bottom of the accommodating space (7). Nursing women's breasts expand by 20%-30% in 2-3 hours. The cup structure (1) is made of an elastic, and the pad (6) is inserted. If the pad is fully fixed, it will limit the stretch of the cup structure (1), thereby squeezing the expanded breast and causing breast pain. If the pad is not fixed, the pad (6) will shift and curl during washing and wearing, which affects the convenience and comfort of the nursing bra.

Embodiment 8

In this embodiment, as a further improvement of the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the bra body further includes slings (9). Each of the slings (9) has one end connected to the nursing clip (4) and the other end connected to a bottom of the bra body, and is configured to connect and stabilize the strap (3). Further, the slings (9) are made of an elastic and have a wide structure, so as to prevent the slings (9) from compressing and bruising the breasts. An end of the sling (9) connected to the bottom of the bra body is widened to increase the connection area. In this way, the pulling force of the sling (9) to the bottom of the bra body is evenly distributed, thereby reducing the deformation of the joint at the bottom of the bra body.

Embodiment 9

In this embodiment, as a further improvement of the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the bra body further includes a double-clip structure composed of two nursing back clips. In the double-clip structure, one end of one nursing back clip is connected to the strap (3), and one end of the other nursing back clip is connected to the sling (9). Ends of the two nursing back clips without being connected to the bra body are connected together. Further, the two nursing back clips are connected together through a nursing strap made of a material similar to a material of the strap.
