US 8,177,602 B1 · Apparatus and method for enhancing a woman's cleavage with floating brassiere cups

Abstract

A brassiere with floating cups which are independently positionable in relation to the brassiere body. Depending on the point of attachment to the brassiere, the floating brassiere cups control the support, position, cleavage, and separation of individual breasts. The floating cups are partially or fully detached from the brassiere at various selectable locations. It is not just rotational motion, but also lifting the breasts upward and toward the center of the chest. The brassiere has floating cups that apply rotational pressure to move the breasts closer together if rotated in one direction, and will move the breasts apart if rotated in the other direction. The cup positioning mechanism can be implemented by an adjustable clip, by integral hook and loop strips, buttons, ornamental clasps, straps, string ties, or other suitable devices.

A brassiere having independently positionable floating cups, comprising:

a brassiere body having a pair of floating cups, each independently positionable in relation to the brassiere body, further comprising:
means to movably attach and adjust the floating cups in relation to the brassiere body such that the wearer's cleavage changes when the position of the floating cups is adjusted;
at least one end of each floating cup is attached to the brassiere body that further has floating cup adjustment points and each floating cup is independently movable in relation to the brassiere body and the cup adjustment points;
and
cup adjustment means for independent adjustment of each floating cup such that each cup is independently moved in relation to one another and in relation to the brassiere body such that the amount of a wearer's cleavage is adjusted for a desired aesthetic effect;
whereby the floating cups are independently adjusted to alter the amount of perceived cleavage when the brassiere is worn, and to compensate for asymmetrical breasts.
