Title:
BRASSIERE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/127291
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A bra that adheres to the wearer's torso, enabling the bra to stay securely in place while aesthetically lifting the wearer's breasts up and out. At least one adhesive patch that includes soft silicone affixed to the fabric of the bra, primarily in the areas adjacent to the cups, is provided. The soft silicone adheres to the wearer's skin via Van Der Waals forces, and a secondary layer of silicone or fabric may be used to secure that adhesion. The Van Der Waals adhesion mechanism can be enhanced by the inclusion of micrometer-sized setae along the soft silicone portion of the adhesive patches. The setae can be angled to provide additional support in the desired direction.
