DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The present invention, as it is noted on the heading of this descriptive memory, refers to an anti-wrinkle brassiere, which has been specially designed so as to be used during the night and as an element to prevent inter-mammary wrinkles usually produced on the ages which follow the forty years and mainly on women which a generous chest.
A further object of the invention consists on the protection of the back, as well as of the dorsal vertebra for persons of the mentioned age, preventing arthrosis pains on the dorsal vertebra, as well as protecting from the cold weather.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In broad outlines, the anti-wrinkle brassiere, which is the object of the present invention, characterised in that it is the result of the union of a front part and a back part, preferably of just one piece, although it may also include a back lock or fastener so that the user does not have to put it on over the head.
The front portion covers the total inter-mammary zone (of the order of 6 cm of extension) and it extends into two oblique straps which follow a direction tangent to the parabolas defining the base of the breasts of the women, preventing the breasts, in such a way, to be joined when the woman adopts a reclining position, laying down on one of her sides.
The said straps are joined on the back part or back portion, forming laterally extense sharp arches, which deviate from the line marked by the day brassiere, which provides for a good lymphatic drainage for the user.
Due to its special design, a permanent tension is maintained between the inter-mammary line and the shoulders, avoiding inter-mammary wrinkles due to its special use at night; advantageously it is not provided with the caps which generally exist on the known brassieres, exposing the breasts to the view, since its main function is to maintain that tension so as to avoid and prevent inter-mammary wrinkles.
On the top zone of the straps, or on the confluence of the front and back portions, an elastic and/or adjustable element may exist so as to be fitted on the anatomy of the user.
On the totality of the outline of the brassiere, there is an edged border with a band which maintains the tension and prevents further deformations on the underclothing.
To make it easy to understand of the characteristics of the invention and constituting an integral part of the descriptive memory, some sheets of drawings are enclosed in which figures, with illustrative and non limitative character the following is represented:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is an elevation view of the anti-wrinkle brassiere, which is the object of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a view of the front portion of the same brassiere.
FIG. 3 is a view of the back portion of the same brassiere.
FIG. 4 is an elevation view of the same brassiere, located on the body of the user.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
In reference to the adopted numeration on the figures, it can be seen how the anti-wrinkle brassiere, proposed by the invention, disposes a front portion 1 and a back portion 2, joined by the side ends 3 and by the straps 4, and a lock or fastener element that may exist on the back vertical line, or on the seams of the front unions; alternatively, it can be manufactured on a closed piece, so that it must be put on over the head.
On this example of realisation shown in the figures, the brassiere does not have any caps and, therefore, the breasts are exposed, since it presents the specific function of preventing the formation of inter-mammary wrinkles, when the user is sleeping, fulfilling therefore its function at night.
As it can be seen on FIG. 4, the front portion 1 covers widely the inter-mammary zone, splitting the straps 4 on a direction oblique and tangent to the parabolas 5. Reference 6 designates the inter-mammary zone where inter-mammary wrinkles are usually formed, having an extension of the order of 6 cm. so as to accomplish efficiently its function at night, collaborating, naturally, the adequate tension provided by the spe
