Front closure brassiere having dynamic adjustable section
View Patent ↗A brassiere having a front opening and a dynamic adjustable back section and a first side panel and a second side panel is provided. The brassiere also has a pair of breast receiving cups and a connector between the breast receiving cups for selectively opening and selectively closing the brassiere. The dynamic adjustable back section elongates from a first length to a second length to automatically adjust a size of the brassiere.
1. A brassiere comprising:
a body having:
a front portion comprising a pair of breast receiving cups;
a closure between the pair of breast receiving cups;
a pair of side panels, each of the pair of side panels being connected to a different one of the pair of breast receiving cups;
an automatically adjustable back portion comprising at least two elasticized straps, each of the straps connected to each of the pair of side panels and opposite a front of the brassiere;
the body defining a first circumference about the torso of a wearer in a relaxed state; and
when worn, the elasticized straps of the back portion automatically adjust to a second, greater circumference about the torso of the wearer.
2. The brassiere according to claim 1 , wherein said elasticized sections are formed of a material selected from the group consisting of one or more elastic yarns, spandex, bare elasthane, nylon elasthane, polyester elastane, and any combination thereof.
3. The brassiere according to claim 1 , wherein said at least two straps have an arrangement selected from the group consisting of one of said at least two straps overlapping the other of said at least two straps, and said at least two straps being parallel and non-overlapping.
4. A brassiere comprising:
a closure;
a pair of breast receiving cups connected by said closure;
a pair of elasticized side panels, each of said pair of side panels connected to one of said pair of breast receiving cups; and
a dynamic adjustable back portion connected to each of said pair of elasticized side panels,
wherein said dynamic adjustable back portion has a greater elasticity than said pair of side panels to permit elongation of the dynamic adjustable back portion from a first length to a second length to adjust a circumference of said brassiere during wear.
5. The brassiere according to claim 4 , wherein the dynamic adjustable back portion has at least two straps.
6. The brassiere according to claim 5 , wherein said at least two straps have an arrangement selected from the group consisting of one of said at least two straps overlapping the other of the straps, and said at least two straps being parallel and non-overlapping.
7. The brassiere according to claim 5 , wherein one of said at least two straps is an elastic material.
8. The brassiere according to claim 7 , wherein said elastic material is selected from the group consisting of one or more elastic yarns, spandex, bare elasthane, nylon elasthane, polyester elasthane, and any combination thereof.
9. A brassiere comprising:
a front portion comprising a pair of breast receiving cups and a closure therebetween;
a pair of elasticized side panels, each of the pair of side panels having a front end portion and a back end portion, the front end portion of one side panel being connected to a side of the front portion, and the front end portion of the other side panel being connected to an opposite side of the front portion;
an adjustable back portion having a higher degree of elasticity than the front portion and each of the side panels, and comprising two elasticized straps, each elasticized strap having opposed ends, the opposed ends of each strap extending between and connecting the back end portions of the side panels; and
the front portion, side panels, and adjustable back portion form a first circumference in a relaxed state and, when worn, the elasticized straps of the adjustable back portion stretch about the torso of a wearer to form a second, greater circumference.
10. The brassiere according to claim 9 , wherein said two elasticized straps have an arrangement selected from the group consisting of one of said two straps overlapping the other of the straps, and said two straps being parallel and non-overlapping.
11. The brassiere according to claim 9 , wherein said elasticized straps are formed of a material selected from the group consisting of one or more elastic yarns, spandex, bare elasthane, nylon elasthane, polyester elasthane, and any combination thereof.
12. A brassiere comprising:
a front portion comprising a pair of breast receiving cups and a closure therebetween;
a pair of elasticized side panels, each of the pair of side panels having a front end portion and a back end portion, the front end portion of one side panel being connected to a side of the front portion, and the front end portion of the other side panel being connected to an opposite side of the front portion; and
an adjustable back portion having a higher degree of elasticity than the front portion and each of the side panels, and comprising substantially parallel elasticized straps, each elasticized strap having opposed ends, the opposed ends of each strap extending between and connecting the back end portions of the side panels; and
the front portion, side panels, and adjustable back portion form a first circumference in a relaxed state and, when worn, the elasticized straps of the adjustable back portion stretch about the torso of a wearer to form a second, greater circumference.
13. A brassiere comprising:
a front portion comprising a pair of breast receiving cups and a closure therebetween;
first and second elasticized side panels, each of the side panels having a front end portion and a back end portion, each back end portion having an upper portion and a lower portion, the front end portion of one side panel being connected to a side of the front portion, and the front end portion of the other side panel being connected to an opposite side of the front portion;
an adjustable back portion having a higher degree of elasticity than the front portion and each of the side panels, and comprising first and second elasticized straps, each elasticized strap having upper and lower opposed ends;
the lower end of the first elasticized strap being connected to the lower portion of the back end portion of the first side panel and the upper end of the first elasticized strap being connected to the upper portion of the back end portion of the second side panel;
the lower end of the second elasticized strap being connected to the lower portion of the back end portion of the second side panel and the upper end of the second elasticized strap being connected to the upper portion of the back end portion of the first side panel; and
the front portion, side panels, and adjustable back portion form a first circumference in a relaxed state, and when worn, the elasticized straps of the adjustable back portion stretch about the torso of a wearer to form a second, greater circumference.
