Description

DAILY BRA PAD

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a daily bra pad which can be used for perspiration problem.

Background of the Invention In summer months, people may have perspiration problem depending on temperature. Perspiration problem which is especially encountered by overweight women leads to discomfort in the breast area, particularly in underside thereof which is the perspiring part of the breast. Solutions for this problem, which is experienced by women due to overweight and temperature increase, were searched out by taking into consideration various alternatives in garments.

The Chinese patent document no. CN201188883, an application in the state of the art, discloses a bra pad with high air-permeability. The lower part of the inner surface of the air-permeable bra pad has massage salient points. The upper part of the bra pad has a plurality of the air holes. These air holes of the upper part provide hot air-flow.

The Chinese patent document no. CN2501327, an application in the state of the art, discloses an undergarment which is aesthetic in appearance and prevents sense of over-temperature for breastfeeding women during lactation (secretion of milk). There are protecting paddings in this undergarment. Cotton fabric which has sweat absorption and won't constitute heat in the skin is used in the lactating underwear. The United States patent document no. US2009227181, an application in the state of the art, discloses a bra pad comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film, a silicone gel layer and a cloth layer. The silicone is attached to the TPU film and the cloth layer from the edge of the gel layer. The silicone gel layer enhances softness and comfort of the bra pad. The TPU film enables breathing of the first and the second space bra pad between the silicone gel layer and the cloth layer, and dissipates the heat.

Objective of the Invention

The objective of the present invention is to realize a daily bra pad which can be used against perspiration problem that may occur in the breast.

Another objective of the present invention is to realize a daily bra pad which can be fixed to the bra easily. Yet another objective of the invention is to realize a useful daily bra pad which can be in an even form when the elastic parts are closed and thus occupies a small space in packaging and use.

A further objective of the invention is to realize a daily bra pad which has a fine and aesthetic appearance because it is fixed to the lower part of the bra.

Detailed Description of the Invention

A daily bra pad realized to fulfill the objectives of the present invention is illustrated in the accompanying figures, in which:

Figure 1 is the interior view of the bra whereto a bra-pad is applied.

Figure 2 is the front view of the bra-pad in a closed form.

Figure 3 is the front view of the bra-pad in an open form.

Figure 4 is the rear view of the bra-pad.

Figure 5 is the side cross-sectional view of the bra-pad. The components given in the figures are individually numbered where the numbers refer to the following: l . Pad

Bra (A)

Cup area (B)

Lower part (C)

Band part (D) The inventive daily bra pad (1) comprises:

at least one rear part (12) which is fixed to the lower part (C) of the cup area (B) of the bra (A) and at least one front part (11) which comes into contact with the user's skin. The front part (11) of the pad (1) is the surface contacting the skin. There is a non- woven upper surface layer (112) consisting of soft texture with cotton structure on top of the front part (11). Under this upper surface layer (112), there is a transmission layer (113) which transmits the fluid inwards rapidly and minimizes fluid contact with skin. And under this layer (113), there is a retaining layer (114) wherein the fluid is retained and prevented from rising to the surface. According to user preference, there can be a deodorizing essence enabling pleasant odors to pervade during perspiration in the retaining layer (114).

The front part (11) of the inventive pad (1) has a curtained structure. There are elastic parts (111) narrowing downwards in a triangular manner starting from the wide part of the pad (1). The elastic parts (111) are inserted among the parts of the front part (11). The elastic part (111) consists of elastic plastic bands as such in diapers. In another embodiment, the elastic part (111) does not have a layered structure and it is only a flexible non-woven cotton material. The pad (1) is in the form of plane, when the elastic part (111) is closed however when the elastic part (111) is opened by stretching the pad (1) to both sides it takes a curved shape such that it will fit into the lower part (C) of the cup area (B) of the bra (A) entirely.

The rear part (12) covers the back of the pad (1) and it consists of adhesive surface (122) and coating paper (121). The rear part (12) is a material with fluid- tight feature. The interior surface (122) of the rear part (12) is located after the retaining layer (114). The adhesive surface (122) of the rear part (12) is adhesive so as to hold on to the lower part (C) of the cup area (B) of the bra (A). With this adhesive surface (122) that constitutes the backmost part (12) of the pad (1), the pad (1) is ensured to hold on to the lower part (C) of the cup area (B) of the bra (A) without any additional connecting piece. The coating paper (121) covers the adhesive surface (122). After the user tears off and removes the coating paper (121) coating the adhesive surface (122), s/he places the pad (1) into the lower part (C) of the cup area (B) of the bra (A) easily by means of the adhesive surface (122).

In an embodiment of the invention, the bra pad (1) comprises attachment. The attachment (13) is fixed to the band part (D) of the bra (A). The attachment (13) surface which comes into contact with the skin has a non-woven structure consisting of cotton soft texture as such in the front part (11) of the pad (1). Other surface of the attachment (13) fixed to the band part (D) of the bra (A) is adhesive. The attachment which is perforated (13) can be removed depending on user request and type of the bra (A) wherein it will be used. The user can preferably use the attachment (13) or separate it from the pad (1) by tearing it off. Within the framework of these basic concepts, it is possible to develop a wide variety of embodiments of the inventive daily bra pad (1). The invention can not be limited to the examples described herein and it is essentially according to the claims.
