ABSTRACT:
The front weight support system/garment/bra supports front weight substantially on a wearer's upper back, above the shoulder blades and below the cervical vertebrae of the neck. Weight is supported underneath by the front enclosure 3a which is extended to the wearer's shoulder-tops by opposite side front straps 3a and 11a , which secure to opposite side edges of the yoke 2a. The yoke restrains the front weight rearwardly and upwardly against the wearer's upper back. The downward end of the yoke is leveraged down by spine strap 7a, vertically adjustably secured to the rear of circumferential body band 9a by single adjuster 10a. The enclosure is secured to the front of the body band to keep the enclosure from moving forward off the weight. The yoke is positioned off the back of the wearer's neck by its shape, rigidity, and/or with an attached spine strap. Laterally rigid rod 88a in yoke can hold the front straps laterally apart and off the sides of the wearer's neck. Using a rear band closure (5a and 55a ) and a bottom-side spine strap split, (4a and 44a) the body band's circumference can be varied; and, when open, can extend to easily slip over the extra width of the shoulders, while still keeping both sides of the closure proximal for easy closing. This arrangement needs only one spine strap length adjuster. Front weight can be breasts, a child, a wearer's belly, or merchandise.
