Moisturizing fabric material, use thereof in moisturizing bras, and method of manufacture
View Patent ↗Disclosed are moisturizing fabric materials for use in articles of wear such as bras. The moisturizing fabric materials include a moisturizer comprising plant oil, plant extract, and an emulsifier. The moisturizer is bonded to polymeric fabric material via a bonding agent to provide the moisturizing fabric material. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing an article of wear such as a bra using moisturizing fabric material.
1. A moisturizing fabric comprising a moisturizing formula bonded to a polymeric fabric material, the moisturizing formula comprising a moisturizer and a cyclodextrin compound, the moisturizer comprising:
(a) about 5% to about 50%, by weight of olive oil; and
(b) one or more emulsifiers,
wherein the moisturizing fabric is prepared by heating the moisturizing formula and the polymeric fabric material to a temperature above 180° C., wherein the cyclodextrin compound surrounds the moisturizer, cross-links with the polymeric fabric material, and bonds the moisturizer to the polymeric fabric material.
2. The moisturizing fabric material of claim 1 , wherein the moisturizer further comprises one or more plant extracts that are prepared from grain material.
3. The moisturizing fabric material of claim 1 , wherein the moisturizer further comprises one or more plant extracts that are prepared from vegetable material.
4. The moisturizing fabric material of claim 1 , wherein the one or more emulsifiers include a polyethylene glycol compound.
5. The moisturizing fabric material of claim 1 , wherein the cyclodextrin compound is a triazinyl substituted cyclodextrin compound.
6. The moisturizing fabric material of claim 5 , wherein the triazinyl substituted cyclodextrin compound is monochlorotriazinyl-cyclodextrin.
7. The moisturizing fabric material of claim 1 , wherein the polymeric fabric material is cellulose material or polyamide material.
8. A moisturizing bra cup comprising the moisturizing fabric of claim 1 .
9. A moisturizing bra cup comprising the moisturizing fabric of claim 1 :
(a) a cupped inner half comprising a first fabric lining; and
(b) a cupped outer half comprising a second fabric lining;
wherein,
the first fabric lining comprises the moisturizing fabric of claim 1 ,
the first fabric lining is positioned for contact with a user's skin to thereby release moisturizer to the user's skin; and
the moisturizer not released to the user's skin is retained on the fabric of the first lining by the bonding agent.
10. The moisturizing bra cup of claim 9 , further comprising a first sealing film and a first layer of foam, wherein the first layer of foam is positioned between the first lining and the first sealing film.
11. The moisturizing bra cup of claim 10 , further comprising a second sealing film and a second layer of foam, wherein the second layer of foam is positioned between the second lining and the second sealing film.
12. The moisturizing bra cup of claim 11 , wherein the first sealing film and the second sealing film are positioned adjacent one another when the inner and outer cupped halves are assembled together.
