Reversible compression support bra

摘要

A reversible bra for compression stabilizing the breast mass against motion relative to the torso includes a zipper side and a non-zipper side with shoulder straps in a pattern to approximately match the contours of a female user's torso whether the zipper is worn in the front or in the back. The zipper in positioned on the zipper side down the center of the zipper side from a seam at the top adjacent the straps to provide a non-stretchable seam which reduces the stretch area at the location of the breasts to provide greater compression when the zipper is in the front. The bra may be reversed so that a greater area of stretch fabric is position to apply compression against the breast and thereby proved for lessened compression against the breast when the zipper is position in the back of the user.

主权项

1. A reversible compression bra comprising a resiliently deformable layer of fabric having first and second sections, each said section having a top and a bottom and being formed with two shoulder straps defining an enclosed neck opening at the top thereof and an arm hole on the side of each shoulder strap opposite the neck opening, said sections each being sized to define hammock areas for positioning next to the user's breast; a vertical aperture in said first section extending downward from the vicinity of said neck opening to the bottom of said first section; and a zipper device for closing the bra along said vertical aperture; the zipper device positioned along said vertical aperture for closing the aperture from top to bottom; the zipper device having a slider for opening and closing the zipper device, the zipper device creating a non-resilient region along said vertical aperture when the zipper device is in a closed position, the hammock region of said second section being adjacent to the breast when the first section is at the back of the user and the hammock region of the first section being adjacent to the breast of the user when the first section is in the front of the user, the zipper device urging the fabric inwardly and downwardly against the breast of the user as the zipper device is closed downwardly to exert a first compressive force against the breast when the zipper device is on the user's front side and a second compression force against the breast when the zipper is on the user's back side.
