ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a functional brassiere, and in particular, to a functional brassiere having an adjustable engaging strap, wherein said adjustable engaging strap is provided in the peripheries of the silicone rubber padding in a manner that the adjustable engaging strap can be engaged directly on a shoulder strap and can share the weight of the lower portion so as to prevent it from dislocation and falling due to swaying.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional functional brassiere
1
, as shown in
FIG. 1
, comprises primarily of a silicone rubber cup body, a PU film and a seaming cloth. When used, a longitudinal adjustable space is formed from the lower periphery of the cup
12
across the corresponding mamma and, by providing an adjustable lifting hole of various sizes; the silicone rubber cup padding
11
in the constraining cup can be adjusted automatically in the transverse space. Since the user wears the brassiere by hanging and covering the cup
12
onto the mamma, the user may feel uncomfortable due to the dislocation or falling of the silicone rubber padding
11
during walking or jumping. In particular, if the user is a woman having subjected to mammectomy and the cup padding
11
is primarily to be used as a falsie, the silicone rubber padding
11
is merely lifted by the cup
12
as modification. However, as the silicone rubber padding
11
is used to substitute the mamma as a whole, since the silicone rubber padding
11
often has a weight in a range of 300 g to 1000 g, and a size in a range of 30A to 50DD, its overweight always causes the silicone rubber padding
11
to fall down and hence becomes an additional burden to the user, as well as will result in a poor appearance and feel unsafe.
Accordingly the above-described conventional article has still many disadvantages, and is not a perfectly designed one that need improved immediately.
In view of the above-mentioned disadvantages associated with the conventional functional brassiere, the inventor devotes to improve and innovate it, and, after studying intensively and persistently for many years, has accomplished the functional brassiere of the invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, one object of the invention is to provide a functional brassiere having an adjustable engaging strap.
Another object of the invention is to provide a functional brassiere having an effect as a falsie.
The above-said objects of the invention is achieved by a functional brassiere comprising of a silicone rubber body, a PU film, a seaming cloth, and an adjustable engaging strap, wherein said silicone rubber body is a flexible and elastic body, and is designed according to human body engineering to be a mastectomy bra of a “thinner upper portion and thicker lower portion” shape suitable for a woman having subjected to mammectomy to wear comfortably and fittably so that it will not dislocate and fall due to swaying and can restore the original plump breast and natural arc shape; wherein said PU film is used to coat said silicone rubber body through evacuating the air trapped in said PU film and then hot sealing by a high frequency wave; and wherein said adjustable engaging strap is to be provided in the upper peripheries of said silicone rubber padding and said seaming cloth; and finally, after further fitting and sealing, the functional brassiere having an adjustable engaging strap is thus accomplished.
