Abstract
A bra includes a pair of foam cups, and outer and inner layers each having two cup-shaped portions and rear pieces; each of the outer and the inner layers includes a piece of elastic cloth, and a thin foam layer joined to the elastic cloth by hot pressing; the pair of foam cups include two foam layers joined by hot pressing, and each has a steel ring wrapped between the foam layers; a bra main body is made by positioning the outer layer, the pair of foam cups, and the inner layer one over another in sequence, and hot pressing with a mold to join the outer layer, the pair of foam cups, and the inner layer together; after the last hot pressing step, a circumferential edge of the bra main body is cut to a desired shape.

Structure of a bra made by means of hot-press shaping, comprising
- an outer layer part;
- with two cup-shaped portions and rear pieces connected to outer ends of the cup-shaped portions on opposing sides thereof, the outer layer part includes an outer elastic cloth layer, and a thin foam layer contiguously located with an inner side of the outer elastic cloth layer and joined to the outer elastic cloth layer by means of hot pressing;
- a pair of dual-layer foam cups, the pair of dual-layer foam cups including two foam layers joined together by means of hot pressing;
- said pair of dual-layer foam cups each having an underwire between the two foam layers thereof;
- and
- an inner layer part with two cup-shaped portions and rear pieces connected to opposing ends of the cup-shaped portions, the inner layer part includes an inner elastic cloth layer, and a thin foam layer positioned over the inner elastic cloth layer and joined to the inner elastic cloth layer by means of hot pressing;
- whereby a bra main body with two cup portions as well as rear pieces connected to opposing ends of the cup portions is formed by positioning said outer layer part, said pair of dual-layer foam cups, and said inner layer part sequentially, and applying oil-based glue over opposing sides of said dual-cup outer layer part and said pair of dual-layer foam cups as well as opposed sides of said pair of dual-layer foam cups and said inner layer part, and hot pressing with a mold to join said dual-cup outer layer part, said pair of dual-layer foam cups, and said inner layer part together.
A method for constructing and shaping a multi-layer, heat laminated brassiere, comprising the steps of:
- (a) establishing an outer layer part with two cup-shaped portions;
- (b) positioning a thin foam layer on an inner side of an outer elastic cloth layer in contiguous relation therewith;
- (c) joining the thin foam layer and the outer elastic cloth layer by means of hot pressing with a mold with cup-shaped portions;
- (d) establishing a pair of dual-layer foam cups;
- (e) positioning said pair of dual layer foam cups in contiguous relation to each other, and locating an underwire between said two foam cup layers joining said two foam layers by hot pressing to make a pair of cups;
- (f) providing an inner layer part which is larger than said pair of dual-layer foam cups;
- said inner layer part defining a thin foam layer positioned on a frontal side of an inner elastic clot layer, said thin foam layer and the inner elastic clot layer being joined together by means of hot pressing wit a mold;
- (g) joining said outer layer part, said pair of dual-layer foam cups, and said inner layer part together in sequential and overlying relation;
- (h) sprinkling an oil-based glue over contiguous surfaces of said outer layer part and said pair of dual-layer foam cups as well as contiguous surfaces of said inner layer part;
- (i) hot pressing said outer layer part, said pair of dual-layer foam cups, and said inner layer part together;
- (j) cutting said outer layer part, said pair of dual-layer foam cups, and said inner layer to form a bra having two cup portions as well as rear pieces connected to outer ends of the cup portions.
