Abstract
The invention provides a thin, barely visible to invisible strap particularly useful for imparting invisibility without sacrificing the support imparted by such straps on underwears suitable for use on clothing of transparent material or on backless, strapless, and sleeveless clothing. The strap is made of a thin, clear, colorless, polyurethane material having the desired elasticity, flexibility and softness of a strap while providing sufficient support to the cups thereby preventing the breasts from sagging.

A strapless shoulder, backless brassiere having an invisible back strap, comprising:
- a two breast side-by-side receiving cups;
- a welt like loop sewn on each opposite lateral side border of the two breast receiving cups;
- and,
- a longitudinal rectangular strip of a clear colorless plastic material having a first end and a second end, a connecting bracket attached to the first end and the second end, the first end connecting bracket having a hook on one end insertable to one welt like loop and the second end connecting bracket having a hook on one end insertable to the opposite lateral welt like loop, the strip having a length sufficient to accommodate a girth of a wearer measured from one welt like loop of one receiving cup, through a back of the wearer and to the opposite welt like loop of the second receiving cup.
An invisible strap having an adjustable length for an undergarment, comprising:
- a longitudinal rectangular strip of a clear colorless 100% polyurethane having a first end and a second end, the polyurethane having an elasticity as a standard elastic material;
- a connecting bracket attached to the first end and the second end, the connecting bracket having a hook on one end and a closed opening on another end for attachment to the strip of polyurethane;
- and,
- an adjusting bracket having a special looping for adjusting the length of the strap, the adjusting bracket having a first opening, a top, a divider, a second opening, a lateral end adjacent to the first opening, a lateral end adjacent to the second opening, the special looping having one end of the invisible strap inserted from a bottom of the first opening, over the top and divider and into the second opening, wrapped around the lateral end adjacent to the second opening, over the top and inserted a second time into the first opening, the end of the strap then inserted from a bottom of the closed opening of the first end connecting bracket for said invisible strap and out into the first opening of the adjusting bracket for a third insertion, then wrapping around the lateral end adjacent to the first opening, said end of the invisible strap finally secured to itself thereby preventing the adjusting bracket from slippage through the strap and forming a double layer of strap between the adjusting bracket and the first end connecting bracket.
