Brassiere

Abstract

The present application discloses a brassiere comprising: a cup body configured to cover a wearer's breast when worn; and a lifting structure disposed on an inner side of the cup body and spanning between two opposing edges of the cup body, the lifting structure configured to apply a gathering force from the edges toward a center of the cup body when worn.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A brassiere comprising:
 a cup body configured to cover a wearer's breast when worn; and   a lifting structure disposed on an inner side of the cup body and spanning between two opposing edges of the cup body, the lifting structure configured to apply a gathering force from the edges toward a center of the cup body when worn.   
     
     
         2 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , wherein a length of the lifting structure is less than 80% of an outer contour diameter of the cup body. 
     
     
         3 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , wherein the lifting structure comprises a single lifting member. 
     
     
         4 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , wherein the lifting structure comprises a first lifting member and a second lifting member, the first and second lifting members at least partially overlapping. 
     
     
         5 . The brassiere of  claim 4 , wherein:
 the first lifting member extends transversely along a position between a center and a lower edge of the wearer's breast when worn, and is configured to provide upward lifting to support breast weight and prevent sagging; and   the second lifting member extends vertically along a position between the center and a side edge of the wearer's breast when worn, and is configured to provide lateral tension to gather the breast and prevent outward expansion.   
     
     
         6 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the lifting structure is made of mesh fabric. 
     
     
         7 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , wherein the lifting structure is fixed to the cup body via stitched seams or an elastic adhesive film. 
     
     
         8 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , further comprising a shoulder strap connected to the cup body. 
     
     
         9 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , further comprising a torso-covering portion connected to and surrounding the cup body. 
     
     
         10 . The brassiere of  claim 1 , wherein a surface of the lifting structure is coated with an anti-slip material. 
     
     
         11 . A brassiere comprising:
 a cup body configured to cover a wearer's breast when worn;   a lifting structure disposed on an inner side of the cup body and spanning between two opposing edges of the cup body, the lifting structure configured to apply a gathering force from the edges toward a center of the cup body when worn, wherein a length of the lifting structure is less than 80% of an outer contour diameter of the cup body; and   a shoulder strap connected to the cup body.   
     
     
         12 . The brassiere of  claim 11 , wherein the lifting structure comprises a single lifting member. 
     
     
         13 . The brassiere of  claim 11 , wherein the lifting structure comprises a first lifting member and a second lifting member, the first and second lifting members at least partially overlapping. 
     
     
         14 . The brassiere of  claim 13 , wherein:
 the first lifting member extends transversely along a position between a center and a lower edge of the wearer's breast when worn, and is configured to provide upward lifting to support breast weight and prevent sagging; and   the second lifting member extends vertically along a position between the center and a side edge of the wearer's breast when worn, and is configured to provide lateral tension to gather the breast and prevent outward expansion.   
     
     
         15 . The brassiere of  claim 11 , wherein at least a portion of the lifting structure is made of mesh fabric. 
     
     
         16 . The brassiere of  claim 11 , wherein the lifting structure is fixed to the cup body via stitched seams or an elastic adhesive film. 
     
     
         17 . The brassiere of  claim 11 , further comprising a torso-covering portion connected to and surrounding the cup body. 
     
     
         18 . The brassiere of  claim 11 , wherein a surface of the lifting structure is coated with an anti-slip material. 
     
     
         19 . A brassiere comprising:
 a cup body configured to cover a wearer's breast when worn;   a lifting structure disposed on an inner side of the cup body and spanning between two opposing edges of the cup body, the lifting structure configured to apply a gathering force from the edges toward a center of the cup body when worn;   a torso-covering portion connected to and surrounding the cup body; and   a shoulder strap connected to the cup body.   
     
     
         20 . The brassiere of  claim 19 , wherein a length of the lifting structure is less than 80% of an outer contour diameter of the cup body.
