Abstract

The utility model relates to the field of women's underwear. The technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide a comfortable arc-shaped underwire with simple structure. The arc-shaped underwire, which is embedded in the lower edge of a bra cup for supporting, the underwire is arc-shaped as a whole and is provided with an inner and outer end that respectively faces and deviates from the middle part of the bra, characterized in that at least one end of the outer and inner end deflects in a direction deviating from the body. This structure is different from the traditional one extending upwards which means the end of the underwire maintains a certain gap with the body to ensure that it would not press the users. The structure is comfortable to use.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A comfortable arc-shaped underwire, which is embedded in the lower edge of a bra cup for supporting, the underwire is arc-shaped as a whole and is provided with an inner and outer end that respectively faces and deviates from the middle part of the bra, characterized in that at least one end of the outer and inner end deflects in a direction deviating from the body. 
     
     
         2 . The comfortable arc-shaped underwire according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the underwire starts to deflect towards the outer or inner end gradually from the side of the cup to form an inclined section that has a smooth transition with other parts of the underwire. 
     
     
         3 . The comfortable arc-shaped underwire according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the inclined section is an arc-shaped section that gradually deflects in a direction deviating from the body. 
     
     
         4 . The comfortable arc-shaped underwire according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the inner and outer end of the arc-shaped underwire are asymmetric and the outer end of the arc-shaped underwire extends continuously along the direction of arc-shaped tangent to exceed 0.5˜5 cm out of the inner end, forming an exceeding section. 
     
     
         5 . The comfortable arc-shaped underwire according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the length of the exceeding section is 1˜2.5 cm. 
     
     
         6 . The comfortable arc-shaped underwire according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the exceeding section is slightly curved. 
     
     
         7 . The comfortable arc-shaped underwire according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the inner or outer end of the arc-shaped underwire extends towards both sides of the cup to form an arc-shaped section that bends outward. 
     
     
         8 . The comfortable arc-shaped underwire according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the steel wire constituting the arc-shaped underwire is a flat structure with a width, wherein the flat steel wire of at least one side of the cup has an inclination, while the flat steel wire at the bottom of the cup is vertical without an inclination and the connection between the flat steel wire with the inclination and the flat steel wire without the inclination is gradually transitional. 
     
     
         9 . The comfortable arc-shaped underwire according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the steel wire constituting the arc-shaped underwire is a flat structure with a width, wherein the flat steel wire of at least one side of the cup is vertical without an inclination, while the flat steel wire at the bottom of the cup has an inclination and the connection between the flat steel wire with the inclination and the flat steel wire without the inclination is gradually transitional. 
     
     
         10 . The comfortable arc-shaped underwire according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the steel wire constituting the arc-shaped underwire is a flat structure with a width and the flat steel wire has an inclination. 
     
     
         11 . A method of matching rapidly between arc-shaped underwire and body curve of human, wherein embedding the underwire into the lower edge of the bra cup for supporting, the underwire is provided with an inner and outer end that respectively faces and deviates from the middle part of the bra, making at least one end of the outer and inner end deflect in a direction deviating from the body. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 11 , characterized in that making the said underwire start to deflect towards the outer or inner end gradually from the side of the cup to form an inclined section which has a smooth transition with other parts of the underwire. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 12 , characterized in that making the said inclined section an arc-shaped section that gradually deflects in a direction deviating from the body. 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 11 , characterized in that making the inner and outer end of the arc-shaped underwire asymmetric, wherein the outer end of the arc-shaped underwire extends continuously along the direction of arc-shaped tangent to exceed 0.5-5 cm out of the inner end to form an exceeding section. 
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 14 , characterized in that the length of the exceeding section is 1-2.5 cm. 
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 15 , characterized in that making the exceeding section curved slightly. 
     
     
         17 . The method according to  claim 11 , characterized in that making the inner or outer end of the arc-shaped underwire extend towards both sides of the cup to form an arc-shaped section that bends outward.
