Bra engineering

Abstract

Brassiere including a first wing and a second wing, each wing including a first end and a second end. A pair of cups is utilized. Each cup has an inner contour having a diameter size as well as an outer contour having an outer diameter defined by an outer diameter size, and an outer apex having a projection distance from the outer diameter. A filling material is provided between the inner contour and the outer contour and being located on each cup so as to, when the brassiere is worn, press against the rib cage and expand and spread the outer diameter. Wherein for a cup-to-cup range of more than 12 inches and less than 14 inches, the diameter size and the projection distance have values that satisfy an equation as follows: y=0.69x+11.24, where y=the diameter size and x=the projection distance.

1 . A brassiere, comprising:
 a first wing and a second wing, each wing including a first end and a second end;   a pair of cups, a first cup connected to the second end of the first wing, and a second cup connected to the second end of the second wing;   each cup including an inner contour having a diameter size;   each cup including an outer contour having an. outer diameter defined by an outer diameter size, and an outer apex having a projection distance from the outer diameter;   filling material provided between the inner contour and the outer contour and being located on each cup so as to, when the brassiere is worn, press against the rib cage and expand and spread the outer diameter;   a gore connected to each of the first cup and the second cup; and   wherein for a cup-to-cup range of more than 12 inches and less than 14 inches:   the diameter size and the projection distance have values that satisfy an equation as follows:
     y= 0.69 x+ 11.24, 
   where y=the diameter size, and   x=the projection distance.   
     
     
         2 . A brassiere, comprising:
 a first wing and a second wing, each wing including a first end and a second end;   a pair of cups, a first cup connected to the second end of the first wing, and a second cup connected to the second end of the second wing;   each cup including an inner contour having a diameter size;   each cup including an outer contour having an outer diameter defined by an outer diameter size, and an outer apex having a projection distance from the outer diameter;   filling material provided between the inner contour and the outer contour and being located on each cup so as to, when the brassiere is worn, press against the rib cage and expand and spread the outer diameter;   a gore connected to each of the first cup and the second cup; and   wherein for the diameter size within a range of 5 and 7 inches;   the diameter size and the projection distance have values that satisfy an equation as follows:
     y= 0.68 x+ 4.08, 
   where y=the diameter size, and   x=the projection distance.   
     
     
         3 . A brassiere, comprising:
 a first wing and a second wing, each wing including a first end and a second end;   a pair of cups, a first cup connected to the second end of the first wing, and a second cup connected to the second end of the second wing;   each cup including an inner contour having a diameter size;   each cup including an outer contour having an outer diameter defined by an outer diameter size, and an outer apex having a projection distance from the outer diameter;   filling material provided between the inner contour and the outer contour and being located on each cup so as to, when the brassiere is worn, press against the rib cage and expand and spread the outer diameter;   a gore connected to each of the first cup and the second cup; and   wherein for a center to medial arc value range of between 4 and 6 inches;   the diameter size and the projection distance have values that satisfy an equation as follows:
     y= 1.76 x+ 0.79, 
   where y=the diameter size, and   x=the projection distance.
