Brassiere

Abstract

The invention relates to a brassiere, comprising; two mutually coupled cups, two back fastening straps which each connect to a different longitudinal side of one or the two different cups and which can be coupled releasably to each other on the sides remote from the cups, and two shoulder straps which each engage on a different upper side of one of the two different cups.

1 . A brassiere, comprising:
 two mutually coupled cups,   two back fastening straps which each connect to a different longitudinal side of one of the two different cups and which can be coupled releasably to each other on the sides remote from the cups, and   two shoulder straps which each engage on a different upper side of one of the two different cups,   wherein both shoulder straps are connected on the sides remote from the cups to a back wrap, to which back wrap one of two back wrap straps connects in each case on two opposite longitudinal sides, and wherein the back wrap straps can be releasably coupled to each other on the sides remote from the back wrap,   wherein an armhole part connects to the two cups on each of the sides remote from each other, and that each of the two back fastening straps, just as each of the two shoulder straps, engages on an armhole part associated with the relevant back fastening strap and the relevant shoulder strap.   
   
   
       2 . The brassiere as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the back wrap is manufactured at least partially from an elastic material. 
   
   
       3 . The brassiere as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the back wrap is elastic in a direction which connects the engaging position of a back wrap strap on the back wrap to the engaging position of the associated shoulder strap on the back wrap. 
   
   
       4 . The brassiere as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein both armhole parts are force-transmitting such that the transmission of force between a back fastening strap and an associated shoulder strap is substantially not transmitted to the associated cups. 
   
   
       5 . The brassiere as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a centre line through a shoulder strap and a centre line through the associated back wrap strap, both at the position of engagement on the back wrap, enclose a mutual angle which is greater than 90°, preferably between 100 and 130°. 
   
   
       6 . The brassiere as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein on the sides remote from the back wrap the back wrap straps are located in a coupled active position at a distance of less than 2 centimeters from the underside of the cups. 
   
   
       7 . The brassiere as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the back fastening straps are permanently connected to each other on the sides remote from the cups. 
   
   
       8 . The brassiere as claimed in any of  claim 1 , wherein the back wrap straps can be coupled in a plurality of relative positions on the sides remote from the back wrap. 
   
   
       9 . The brassiere as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the back wrap straps can be coupled with a Velcro fastening on the sides remote from the back wrap. 
   
   
       10 . The brassiere as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the back wrap straps can be coupled with at least a single hook-eye fastening on the sides remote from the back wrap. 
   
   
       11 . The brassiere as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cups can be coupled in mutually releasable manner. 
   
   
       12 . The brassiere as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cups are connected via a middle front part. 
   
   
       13 . The brassiere as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cups connect on the underside to a chest strap, which chest strap transposes on both opposite longitudinal sides into the two back fastening straps.
