| (54) | Natural body motion-driven massaging brassIere cup |
| (57) A natural body motion-driven massaging brassiere cup has a massaging fabric lining
5, and a rubber water bag 3 retained within the massaging fabric lining. The massaging
fabric lining is a mix-woven having a plurality of wave-like waterproof lines 6, said
wave-like waterproof lines forming a plurality of tiny raised portions 7 at an outer
side of the massaging fabric lining for transmitter vibration waves from the rubber
water bag to the user's breasts to massage the muscles of the user's breasts and to
simulate the circulation of blood in the user's breasts. |
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a brassiere cup for a brassiere, and more particularly to a natural body motion-driven massaging brassiere cup which has a rubber water bag on the inside for supporting the breast and producing vibration waves upon motion of the users body, and a massaging fabric lining with tiny raised portions for transmitting vibration waves to the breast to massage its muscles and to stimulate its blood circulation.
[0002] Every woman cares very much about the shape of her breasts. In order to support the breasts in a good shape, additional brassiere padding may be put in the brassiere cups of the brassiere. Conventional brassiere padding can make the breasts look full and voluptuous, however they prohibit the breasts from vibrating when the user walks, runs, or move the body. Further, these paddings may hinder the ventilation in between the breasts and the brassiere cups.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present invention has been accomplished to provide a brassiere cup, which eliminates the aforesaid problems. It is one object of the present invention to provide a brassiere cup, which supports the breast in shape. It is another object of the present invention to provide a brassiere cup, which massages the breast and stimulates its blood circulation when the user moves. To achieve these and other objects of the present invention, there is provided a brassiere cup, which comprises a massaging fabric lining. The massaging fabric lining is a mix-woven having a plurality of a plurality of tiny raised portions at an outer side of the massaging fabric lining for transmitting vibration waves from the rubber water bah to the user's breasts to massage the muscles of the user's breasts and to simulate the circulation of blood in the user's breasts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0005] Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 2A, a brassiere 1 comprises two brassiere cups 2 for supporting the breasts. Each brassiere cup 2 comprises a massaging fabric lining 5, and a rubber water bag 3 retained within the massaging fabric lining 5. The rubber water bag 3 contains liquid 4. The rubber water bah 3 may have a width gradually reducing from the bottom toward the top. The massaging fabric lining 5 is a mix-woven having a plurality of wave-like waterproof lines 6 woven with warp yarns and filling yarns. Each wave-like waterproof line 6 is comprised of a thread coated with a layer of elastic rubber.
[0006] Referring to Figures 3 and 3A, because of the presence of the wave-like water-proof lines 6, tiny raised portions 7 are formed at an outer side of the massaging fabric lining 5.
[0007] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 3 again, when the brassiere 1 is worn on the body with the brassiere cups 2 covered on the breasts, the massaging fabric linings 5 of the brassiere cups 2 are maintained in close contact with the breasts. When the user walks, runs, or moves the body, the water bags 3 are shaken, thereby causing the liquids 4 to collide and to produce vibration waves. The vibration waves thus produced are transmitted through the tiny raised portions 7 to the breasts, thereby causing the breasts to be massaged. Because the density of the tiny raised portions 7 is smaller than that of the texture of the massaging lining 5 of each brassiere cup 2 for ventilation. Because the tiny raised portions 7 isolates the texture of the massaging lining 5 of each brassiere cup 2 from direct contact with the breasts, hot, damp air does not accumulate in the skin of the breasts. Therefore, the brassiere 1 is comfortable in use.
[0008] While only one embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it will be understood that various modifications and changes could be made thereunto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention disclosed. For example, the massaging lining 5 can have multiple layers that attenuate the vibration waves transmitted from the rubber water bags 3 to the breasts.
said massaging fabric lining being a mix-woven having a plurality of wave-like water-proof lines woven with warp yarns and filling yarns, said wave-like water-proof lines each comprised of a thread coated with a layer of elastic rubber, said wave-like water-proof lines forming a plurality of tiny raised portions at an outer side of said massaging fabric lining for transmitting vibration waves from said rubber water bag to the user's breasts.
