Abstract
A frame for breast cups of a brassiere is formed in such a manner that it is relatively inflexible in the plane of the frame and relatively flexible in the direction of the thickness of the frame, the frame when viewed in edge view, being in the form of a dihedral, thus causing a bridge between the respective frames to move inwardly towards the sternum of the wearer of the brassiere on the application of a force acting to move free ends of the respective frames away from each other.
Claims10
A frame for a brassiere of the type including dual frames for supporting respective breast cups of said brassiere, and a bridging member rigidly interconnecting the respective frames at adjacent ends of said respective frames, further including:
- said respective frames each being formed of a strip material having a width "w" in excess of the thickness "t" thereof, whereby said frames are relatively inflexible in the direction of the width "w" of said material and are readily flexible in the direction of the thickness "t" of said material, the width of said strip material providing a frontal surface of said respective frame, and
- said frame when in an unstressed condition, and when viewed in the direction of the thickness of said strip material being in the form of a dihedral having its center located at said bridging member.
