Built-in Brassiere Structure Apparel
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1) FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention herein relates to women's wear, specifically a type of apparel
that at the same time functions as a brassiere.
2) DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
In response to modern trends, the wearing of brassieres as outer garments
has become fashionable. However, the brassiere structure is clearly viewable
when
someone dressed in such underwear is observed, the stitching and traces having
a
horrible effect on attractive outward appearance. Additionally, some outerwear-
type brassieres (i.e., small cute underwear) can only be worn by persons
having
smaller bustlines and are typically unavailable for persons with larger
bustlines,
which is the major drawback of the prior art.
Therefore, the applicant of the present invention, engaged in the
undergarment manufacturing industry for many years and in view of the
drawbacks
resulting from the use of prior art underwear, and based on experience and
extensive research, research and developed the built-in brassier structure
apparel of
the present invention, which is submitted as a patent right application.

Another objective of the invention herein is to provide a built-in brassiere
structure apparel in which cupped breast cups are replaced and adjusted to
accommodate the bust size of the wearer.

description of the preferred embodiments.
Refer to FIG. 1, the exploded drawing of the invention herein; FIG. 2, the
isometric drawing of the apparel bodice and the inner cloth ply of the
invention
herein; FIG. 3, the isometric drawing of the completed apparel bodice and the
inner
cloth ply of invention herein with the cups and the steel rings; FIG. 4, the

another
embodiment of the invention herein.
In the built-in brassiere structure apparel 1 of the invention herein, the
said
apparel bodice 2 is a one-piece, continuously sewn construct made of a tubular
fabric, an inner cloth ply 3 is additionally disposed at a predetermined
position
along the interior surface of the apparel bodice 2, and cupped breast pads 4
as well
as brassiere steel wires are attached to the front surface of the inner cloth
ply 3
such that after the apparel bodice 2 obverse surface and the inner cloth ply 3
front
surface are aligned and overlaid, three-dimensional cups are formed, enabling
at
the same time the forming of a brassiere structure in the apparel 1. Wherein,
the
inner cloth ply 3 bottom edge is at the same time directly knitted to the
apparel

bodice 2 interior surface. Furthermore, besides directly knitting the inner
cloth ply
3 to the apparel bodice 2 interior surface, attachment to the apparel bodice 2
can be
achieved by hot pressing or adhesive.
The said apparel 1 can be fabricated as a shoulder strap 6 design or as a
non-shoulder strap 6 design; in other words, the shoulder straps 6 are
designed to
extend from the front of the chest over the back, as removable shoulder straps
6, or
as a design in which there are no shoulder straps 6 on the inner cloth ply 3,
and as a
sample, the apparel bodice 2 can be fabricated as tube sports attire or a
corset,
swim suit, or a short corset, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6, and
FIG. 7.
Referring to FIG. 9, the isometric drawing of fastening band at the periphery

fastening band
at the periphery of the inner cloth ply; FIG. 1 l, the exploded drawing of the
inner
cloth ply fastening band and the cups; FIG. 12, the cross-sectional drawing of
the
inner cloth ply fastening band and the cups following assembly; and FIG. 13 is
a
partial, magnified drawing of the inner cloth ply fastening band and the cups
following assembly.
Wherein, a fastening band 7 is disposed at the front surface of the inner
cloth ply 3 and the cupped breast pads 4 in the apparel bodice 2 that enables
the
positioning of the cupped breast pads 4 on the inner cloth ply 3, with the
fastening
band 7 utilized for free detachment or attachment.

Referring to FIG. 14, the cross-sectional drawing of the inner cloth ply, with
the surrounding cloth strip stitched to the cup and FIG. 15, the cross-
sectional
drawing of the inner cloth ply, with the surrounding cloth strip stitched to
the cup.
Wherein, a surrounding cloth strip 8 covering the steel wires 5 is sewn
proximal to the lateral edge of the inner cloth ply 3 in the apparel bodice 2
that
affixes the cups 4 and the steel wires 5 to the inner cloth ply 3.
In summation of the foregoing section, the built-in brassiere structure
apparel 1 of the invention herein is not only usable for various types of
clothing,
but is also adjustable to accommodate wearer bust size, and since the
invention
herein is a structure that integrates a brassiere into attire, the said
structure thereby
meets the patent application requirement of progressiveness and the present
