Abstract
A method of fabricating a brassiere pad which involves folding a fiberfill blank longitudinally, making an oblique cut at right angles to the fold through one thickness of the blank, folding the blank so as to expose surfaces which are to be bonded, refolding to abut the surfaces to be bonded and molding the resulting form to the desired pad contour. Means for controlling the thickness of the under portion of the pad to provide desired push up action is disclosed.
Claims4
The method of making a bra pad comprising the steps of:
- a. making a beveled cut part way across a sheet of fiberfill or the like material, said cut establishing first and second portions of said sheet adjacent to said cut;
- b. folding the first of said portions over another part of said sheet and positioning the two edges formed by said beveled cut at right angles to each other, the first portion having a surface thereof in engagement with a surface of said other part of said sheet, the opposite surface of said first portion being exposed and adjacent to the second portion of said sheet;
- c. applying a bonding agent to the exposed faces of said first and second portions of said sheet adjacent said beveled cut;
- d. forming said sheet into a substantially conical shape by placing said opposite surface of said first portion of said sheet over said second portion and engaging the surfaces of said first and second portions to which bonding agent has been applied;
- e. placing said form in a heated mold whereby said material will be molded to the contours of said mold;
- and
- f. trimming excess material from said molded form producing a bra pad.
