Other layers may be sewn or otherwise fastened to the breast cups 2 and/or 3 to define the chest bands 4 , 5 .
  • the bra 1 includes a zone or zones of reinforcement such as zone 21 , 31 , 41 or 42 .
  • the reinforcement zone is preferably provided at the breast cup assembly 50 and at least extending in part across part of each breast cup. However the reinforcement zone may also extend across part or all of the flange 11 and/or the bridge 6 .
  • the reinforcement zone 21 at least runs along the side periphery 13 of each of the breast cups 2 and 3 .
  • the sideway force pushing the cup part away from the body is large compared to other forces on the bra at some other regions.
  • the reinforcement zone 21 preferably also extends adjacent and inward of the side periphery 21 . It preferably also extends from the point or the area or region adjacent the point where the shoulder strap 8 , 9 is attached to each respective breast cup 2 , 3 . This region also requires reinforcement because the tensile force pulling the bra cup in a direction along the direction of the shoulder strap away from the cup is high.
  • peripheral it is to be understood that it includes not only the exact edge but also a portion of the area or region adjacent thereto.
  • the reinforcement zone 21 can optionally occupy a greater area such as that shown as reinforcement zone 41 in FIG. 2 .
  • this reinforcement zone 41 also assists in centering the breasts.
  • reinforcement zone 31 may be defined as shown in FIG. 2 . This zone assists in preventing sag.
  • reinforcement zone 42 may be defined as shown in FIG. 1 .
  • both the left and right breast cups to illustrate the positioning of the various zones. Obviously, the positioning of the zone or zones generally does not depend on whether it is the right or the left breast cup that is being under consideration. For convenience, both breast cups of the same figure (for example FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 ) are utilised to illustrate possible positioning and sizes of the various reinforcement zones. These figures however should not be interpreted to require different zone positioning or sizes to be applied to the two breast cups of a bra.
  • FIG. 3 shows such additional reinforcement wherein a panel or panels of material such as reinforcing panels 36 , 37 and 38 are located about the periphery 51 of each breast cup 2 , 3 with panel 37 also extending across the bridge region 6 .
  • the is panels 36 , 37 and 38 may alternatively be defined by a single panel which covers the same extent as the three panels 36 , 37 and 38 . For example, a single panel may be used where the margin under the breast cups allows.
  • the reinforcing panels 36 , 37 and 38 may be made of one or more plies of material. They are preferably of a non-stretchable material such as non-woven fabric. Reference herein to non-stretchable is understood to mean substantially non-stretchable rather than absolutely or perfectly non-stretchable.
  • the function of the reinforcing panels 36 , 37 , 38 is to help resist the stretchable nature of certain plies of material forming the bra which need to be stretchable in appropriate regions to allow their bulging to occur. At the bridge 6 , the panel 37 aids in resisting separation of the breast cups 2 , 3 away from each other.
  • the reinforcing panels 36 and 38 resist the sideways pull from the chest bands, which may otherwise lead to this region pulling too far under the arms or the breast cups pulling flatter against the chest.
  • the non-stretchable material can be positioned to offer additional tensile strength in the desired directions to the bra.
  • the reinforcement zone or zones such as zone 21 , zone 31 , zone 41 and zone 42 may be established by one or more of a combination of modes depending on the nature of the bra in which they are incorporated. In this regard there are at least two preferred embodiments which will be described hereinafter.
  • a first preferred embodiment is where a seamless bra which is without foam panels or plies in the breast cup assembly 50 is provided. This is for example shown with reference to FIG. 1 a.
  • reinforcement zones 21 , 31 , 41 , and/or 42 are preferably defined by a reinforcing member 29 which is an adhesive film.
  • the reinforcing member 29 is interposed between the two fabric plies 19 and 20 as shown in FIG. 1 a.
  • the fabric plies are laminated or substantially laminated to each other and molded to the cup shape. Because two fabric plies alone generally do not provide sufficient support to counter the tensile force of, for example, the left breast cup moving from the centre to the left when the bra is in use, the reinforcing member 29 is preferably provided.
  • the reinforcing member 29 is a hot-melt adhesive film such as Bemis 3410. This is a thermoplastic adhesive film sometimes also known as a hot-melt film or thermo sensitive film.
  • the reinforcing member 29 is preferably transparent and not conspicuous through the relatively thin fabric plies 19 , 20 .
  • the fabric plies are preferably a polyester or spandex or similar synthetic woven material.
  • a film of for example 0.001 inch of a hot-melt adhesive film (e.g. Bemis 3410) is preferably applied between the outer and inner plies 19 and 20 prior to and for the purpose of laminating the two layers. Lamination can be achieved under appropriate hot pressing conditions, for example a temperature of 170° C. to 190° C. for a dwell time of 120 seconds.
  • spray adhesive or hot-melt adhesive chips can be used instead of hot-melt adhesive film to laminate the outer ply 19 with the inner ply 20 .
  • the reinforcement zone such as zone 21 , 31 , 41 or 42 has a hot-melt adhesive film of for example 0.001 inch Bemis 3410 applied between the inner and outer plies 19 , 20 to act as the reinforcing member 29 .
  • This hot-melt adhesive film is applied in addition to another hot-melt adhesive film or spray adhesive or hot-melt adhesive chips used for laminating the outer and inner fabric plies 19 , 20 together.
  • hot-melt adhesive film 47 is used for laminating the outer and inner plies 19 , 20 together, at the reinforcement zone such as zone 21 , 31 , 41 or 42 , before hot pressing, the total thickness of the hot-melt adhesive film will be 0.002 inch because of the additional hot-melt adhesive film acting as the reinforcing member 29 .
  • the outer and inner plies 19 and 20 are laminated to each other, and at the zone 21 , 31 , 41 and/ 42 there will be the additional support provided by the reinforcing member 29 being the hot-melt adhesive film. In effect there is a higher density of hot-melt adhesive at the reinforcement zone 21 , 31 , 41 and/or 42 .
  • the additional support provided in this way is not externally visible through the thin fabric plies 19 , 20 .
  • the hot-melt adhesive film would not necessarily still be “intact” as a film after hot pressing because it will have melded with the adjacent plies of material, but its effect of providing additional support will be there after the hot pressing and molding steps, which can occur together or separately.
  • the 3-dimensional cup shape may be formed by molding at the same time as or as a separate and subsequent step to the hot pressing step.
  • Additional reinforcing panels 36 , 37 and 38 are optionally located between the plies 19 , 20 of material that define at least the breast cup assembly 50 and preferably also the bra 1 .
  • hot-melt adhesive film for example, lamination of the panels 36 , 37 and 38 to the plies 19 , 20 can be achieved by hot pressing.
  • the reinforcing panels 36 , 37 and 38 may, during the manufacture of the bra, be adhered to one of the plies 19 and 20 before it is engaged to the other of the plies 19 and 20 .
  • the assembly can be pressed together by for example hot molding for the purpose of forming and lamination and then be trimmed.
  • An underwire structure of structures 58 may also be incorporated and interposed between the plies 19 , 20 .
  • a second preferred embodiment is where a seamless bra is provided which does include a foam layer in the breast cup assembly 50 .
  • Our earlier patent application US2004/0224604 describes the structure of and the method of forming a seamless bra including foam in the breast cup assembly and is hereby incorporated by way of reference.
  • the present invention also applies to a bra manufactured in accordance with the methods described in our said earlier patent application.
  • reinforcement zones 21 , 31 , 41 and/or 42 are preferably provided by a reinforcing member 69 which is a non-stretchable fabric.
  • non-stretchable is understood to mean substantially non-stretchable rather than absolutely or perfectly non-stretchable.
  • each cup 2 , 3 there are at least two laminated plies—for example the outer ply 19 and the inner ply 20 —which capture at least a foam ply 43 .
  • the inner and outer plies 19 and 20 are preferably fabric plies which may for example be spandex. This is shown in FIG. 1 b.
  • the reinforcing member 69 is preferably a non-stretchable fabric such as non-woven fabric.
  • the reinforcing member 69 could alternatively be a hot-melt adhesive film of a kind as mentioned when the first preferred embodiment is described.
  • the reinforcing member 69 is preferably interposed between the foam ply 43 and the inner fabric ply 20 (or any other layer which is adjacent to the reinforcing member 69 and on the “inner” side). Because of the presence of the foam ply 43 between the non-stretchable fabric reinforcing member 69 and the outer fabric ply 19 , the non-stretchable fabric is not conspicuous. Hence, the reasons for using a hot-melt adhesive as the reinforcing member for the first embodiment do not apply for the second embodiment.
  • a non-stretchable fabric may be more effective in providing support than an adhesive film, but where there are only the outer and inner fabric plies 19 , 20 and no foam ply making up the bra (as in the first embodiment), a non-stretchable fabric is not preferred as the reinforcing member for the reinforcement zones 21 , 31 , 41 or 42 since it may show through the outer fabric ply 19 and become conspicuous, which has an undesired visual effect.
  • FIG. 1 a the reinforcement zone 42 and the hot melt adhesive 47 (used for laminating plies 19 and 20 ) are shown for convenience of explanation as if they were plies. However, in FIG. 1 b no adhesive film is illustrated, and yet an adhesive film (or other adhesive means) may be present for purpose of lamination.
  • the reinforcing member 69 (of which non-stretchable fabric is an example) and the reinforcing member 29 (of which hot-melt adhesive is an example), these may be said to be embedded by the plies of the assembly 50 .
  • the nature of embedding is by being placed or captured between two plies.
  • the nature of embedding is of the melded form.
