Abstract

A racer back ring is an apparatus that converts a traditional bra with a couple of bra straps into a racerback bra. The traditional bra includes a couple of straps that are parallel to each other, whereas the racerback bra includes a point of connection between the couple of straps. In order to convert the parallel orientation of the couple of straps of a traditional bra into an X-shaped orientation, the apparatus includes a left curved arm, a right curved arm, and a connecting bar. The left curved arm secures a left bra strap around the connecting bar. The right curved arm secures a right bra strap around the connecting bar. The connecting bar connects the left curved arm to the right curved arm. The apparatus preferably includes a first rounded protrusion in order to alleviate the pressure of the apparatus against the back of the user.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A racer back ring comprises:
 a left curved arm;   a right curved arm;   a connecting bar;   the left curved arm being fixed to the connecting bar;   the right curved arm being fixed to the connecting bar, opposite the left curved arm;   a first arm end of the left curved arm being positioned offset from a first arm end of the right curved arm by a top slot;   a second arm end of the left curved arm being positioned offset from a second arm end of the right curved arm by a bottom slot.   
     
     
         2 . The racer back ring as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the connecting bar being positioned equidistant between the top slot and the bottom slot. 
 
     
     
         3 . The racer back ring as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the top slot being positioned perpendicular to the connecting bar. 
 
     
     
         4 . The racer back ring as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the bottom slot being positioned perpendicular to the connecting bar. 
 
     
     
         5 . The racer back ring as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the left curved arm comprises a first arched portion and a second arched portion; 
 the first arched portion and the second arched portion being radially portioned around a midpoint of the connecting bar; 
 the first arched portion being positioned adjacent to a left bar end of the connecting bar; and 
 the second arched portion being positioned adjacent to the left bar end of the connecting bar, opposite to the first arched portion. 
 
     
     
         6 . The racer back ring as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the right curved arm comprises a first arched portion and a second arched portion; 
 the first arched portion and the second arched portion being radially portioned around a midpoint of the connecting bar; 
 the first arched portion being positioned adjacent to a right bar end of the connecting bar; 
 the second arched portion being positioned adjacent to the right bar end of the connecting bar, opposite to the first arched portion. 
 
     
     
         7 . The racer back ring as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 a first rounded protrusion; and 
 the first rounded protrusion being coextensively mounted across the left curved arm, the right curved arm, and the connecting bar. 
 
     
     
         8 . The racer back ring as claimed in  claim 7  comprises:
 a second rounded protrusion; and 
 the second rounded protrusion being coextensively mounted across the left curved arm, the right curved arm, and the connecting bar, opposite to the first rounded protrusion. 
 
     
     
         9 . The racer back ring as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the left curved arm, the right curved arm, and the connecting bar is made of stainless steel 316L. 
     
     
         10 . The racer back ring as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 a circular profile being delineated by the left curved arm and the right curved arm; 
 a ratio between a diameter of the circular profile and a width of the connecting bar being approximately 3:20; 
 a ratio between a diameter of the circular profile and a width of the left curved arm being approximately 2:20; and 
 a ratio between a diameter of the circular profile and a width of the right curved arm being approximately 2:20.
