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 variable compression bra comprising:
a resiliently deformable layer of fabric having a zipper side and a non-zipper side with a bottom edge, the non-zipper side formed with two shoulder straps terminating in an upper strip to define a neck opening between the two shoulder straps and the upper strip, the non-zipper side having a horizontal edge remote from the bottom edge and a center opening extending from the horizontal edge to the bottom edge, the horizontal edge connected to the upper strip along a horizontal seam to define an arm hole on the side of each shoulder strap opposite the neck opening, the zipper side and the non-zipper side sized to define hammock areas for positioning next to the user's breast; a band attached to the bottom edge; and a zipper device for closing the bra along the center opening, the zipper device positioned along the center opening between the horizontal edge and the bottom edge for closing the bra from the horizontal edge to the bottom edge, the zipper having a slider for opening and closing the zipper, the zipper defining a non-resilient region along the center opening when the zipper device is in a closed position, the hammock region of the non-zipper side being adjacent to the breasts when the zipper side is at the back of the user and the hammock region of the zipper side being adjacent to the breasts of the user when the zipper side is in the front of the user, the zipper device urging the fabric inwardly and downwardly against the breasts of the user as the zipper device is closed downwardly to exert a first compression force against the breasts when the zipper is in the user's front side and a second compression force against the breast when the zipper is in the user's front side.
