Abstract
A brassiere cup for a bra is disclosed. The cup comprises an inner foam-fabric layer which is in contact with a wearer's skin. The cup further comprises an outer spacer fabric layer and a middle plastic underwire. The outer spacer fabric layer is arranged on an outer side of the inner foam-fabric layer, the side being distal from the wearer's skin; and the middle underwire is sandwiched between the inner foam-fabric layer and the outer spacer fabric layer at the lower region. The outer spacer fabric layer comprises at least two fabric layers between which a support containing fusible yarn is sandwiched.

A brassiere cup for a bra, the cup comprising an inner foam-fabric layer for contact with a wearer's skin, wherein an outer spacer fabric layer is provided on an outer side of the inner foam-fabric layer, the outer side being distal from the wearer's skin, and an underwire is sandwiched between the inner foam-fabric layer and the outer spacer fabric layer at a lower region of the cup, and wherein the outer spacer fabric layer comprises at least two fabric layers and one of the at least two fabric layers comprises fusible yarn.
A method for manufacturing a brassiere cup, wherein the cup comprises an inner foam-fabric layer for contact with a wearer's skin and an outer spacer fabric layer on an outer side of the inner foam-fabric layer that is distal from the wearer's skin, the method comprises:
- providing a spacer fabric layer containing fusible yarn between a male mold and a female mold;
- molding the spacer fabric layer under heat and pressure to form a 3-D cup shape;
- placing a foam-fabric layer over the molded spacer fabric layer and an underwire between the foam-fabric layer and the molded spacer fabric layer;
- and
- molding the foam-fabric layer, the underwire and the molded spacer fabric layer together under heat and pressure to form a 3-D cup shape.
