Abstract
To manufacture a brassiere cap, a first panel of moldable material is placed onto a second panel of moldable material. The panels are affixed along a fixing line across the panels defining a pre-folded assembly. Then the panel surfaces are adhered to each other at the sides of the fixing line to define a folded assembly. That assembly is molded to define a cap.
Claims27
A method of manufacturing a brassiere cup comprising:
- a. placing a first panel of a flexible moldable material having a respective first and second major surface onto a second panel of a moldable material having a respective first and second major surface such that said first major surface of said first panel faces said first major surface of said second panel,
- b. affixing said first panel with said second panel along a fixing line extending across said panels to define an assembly of said two panels,
- c. adhering said second major surface of said first panel initially on a first side of said fixing line to said second major surface of said first panel on a second side of said fixing line, and adhering said second major surface of said second panel initially on said second side of said fixing line to said second major surface of said second panel on said first side of said fixing line, to define a folded assembly of said two panels, wherein each said panel is folded at said fixing line such that each said panel when folded extends away from said fixing line, thereby forming said assembly into a folded assembly,
- d. molding said folded assembly to define a cup shape to said folded assembly.
