A further form of padded bra is one piece bra and comprises a, pair of moulded cups connected together and side wings connected to an opposite side of each cup, the cups and wings being moulded from the same combination. A method of making such a bra is also provided.

Description

PADDED BRA AND METHOD OF MAKING SUCH A BRA.
This invention relates to a padded bra and to a method of making such a bra.
Padded bras, particularly those bras which are made of a single piece, are usually constructed from two layers of material with a layer of foam in between, the assembled material is then moulded to shape the cups.
While this is satisfactory with coloured bras, a problem exists in the manufacture of white padded bras. This is due to the fact that, as a result of the moulding process, the foam fill material is degraded and tends to discolour. This is not a problem with coloured bras but with white bras, the discolouring shows through the outer material and is unacceptable.
The present invention seeks to reduce or obviate the above problem by providing a bra in which the colour of the padding material does not degrade to any noticeable extent over the expected life of the bra.
According to a first aspect of the invention, a padded bra comprises a pair of moulded cups connected together and side wings connected to an opposite side of each cup, the cups being moulded from a padded material formed of three plies, two outer plies which sandwich between them a third ply forming the padding material, wherein the third ply is formed of a polyester material..
Further according to this aspect of the invention, a one piece padded bra comprises a pair of moulded cups connected together and side wings connected to an opposite side of each cup, the cups and wings being moulded from a padded material formed of three plies, two outer plies which sandwich between them a third ply forming the padding material, wherein the third ply is formed of a polyester material. S..
The third ply may be of polyethyleneteratphalate.
The third ply may be of a material known as "fibre fill" and may be a 33 desitex 1 filament material the single filament may have an helicoidal wind.
The third ply may have a weight of 80 gm per square metre.
The outer plies may be made of a woven polyester material which may be of desitex with 72 filaments woven material. The outer plies may be of a material known as "spacer material". The outer plies may be of a material which is knitted in two separate layers of fabric in tandem with a cushioning loop yarn in between them.
According to a second aspect of the invention, a method of making a padded bra comprises:-manufacturing three sheets of material two of which are to form outer plies of the finished bra while the third sheet is to form the padding material of a polyester material; cutting the sheets to a desired cut shape; moulding each cut shape separately to form moulded cups; applying adhesive to the cut shapes; placing the cut shapes together and further moulding the cut shapes together under heating and pressure so as to weld the cut shapes together.
The cut shapes may be cut in the shape of the bra cups and after the further moulding step, two cups may be connected together and wings, straps and fastenings may be attached thereto. * I. * * *
Alternatively, the cut shapes may be cut in the shape of joined cups with wings. After the further moulding step, fastenings and straps may be attached thereto.

The padding material may be polyethyleneteratphalate. 55.5
:. The padding material may be of a material known as "fibre fill". The padding material may be a 33 desitex I filament material and the single filament may have an helicoidal wind. The padding material may have a weight of 80 gm per square metre.
The outer plies may be made of a woven polyester material. The material of the outer plies may be of 55 desitex with 72 filaments woven material. The outer plies may be of a material known as "spacer material". The outer plies may be of a material which is knitted in two separate layers of fabric in tandem with a cushioning loop yarn in between them.
The invention will now be described in greater detail, by way of example, with reference to the drawings, in which:-Figure us a basic plan view of a bra in accordance with the invention, and Figure 2 is a sectional view through the material of the bra.
Referring firstly to figure 1 there is shown a one piece padded bra I in accordance with the invention. As is common with one piece padded bras, the bra comprises a pair of moulded cups 3 connected together and having side wings 5 ending in fasteners 7. The cups 3 and wings 5 are moulded from a single piece of padded material. Fastening means 9, in the form of rings as shown in this figure for the attachment of support straps (not shown).
However, any suitable form of fastening could be provided.
As can be seen in figure 2, the padded material is formed of three plies, two * *. outer plies 11 and 13 which sandwich between them the third ply 15 forming the padding material.
** The most important of these plies in terms of the invention is this third ply. In *:. existing padded bras, this third ply would have been of a foam material and would, as regards white bras, have the discolouring properties referred to **** S..... above. However, in the case of the present invention, this material is a S. ** : * . material commonly known as "fibre fill" which is a polyester material and more specifically, polyethyleneterathphalate. The particular material used in this embodiment of the invention is a 33 desitex I filament material with a weight of 80gm per square metre. The single filament has an helicoidal wind. This particular material is, of itself, known as TAFC 80.
The outer plies can be of any suitable material but a preferred material is a polyester fibre of 55 desitex with 72 filaments making up a woven material.
This material is commonly called spacer material". The advantage of the use of this material is that it protects the "fibre fill" from distortion when the bra is washed.
The "spacer material" is a material which is knitted on special knitting machines which knit two separate layers of fabric in tandem with a cushioning loop yam in between them Thus, the material is a fabric of three distinct layers joined together as they are knitted.
The outer ply is suitably bonded to the inner ply by adhesives.
The method of making this bra will now be described: First the three sheets of material are manufactured with the fibre fill being maintained slightly acidic, of a ph between 5.5 and 6. The sheets are separately cut to shape and are individually moulded to produce the moulded cups. The facing sides of the sheets are coated with an adhesive, placed together and then subjected to a further moulding step under heating and pressure so as to firmly weld the materials together. At this time, the fasteners * * 7 are attached to the ends of the wings 5 and the strap holding fasteners 9 are also attached to the wings 5 and cups 3. After this, suitable straps are added to provide the finished product. ***. **.*
It will be understood that modifications of or additions to the above described bra may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For S..
example, while a one piece bra has been described herein, the invention also :. includes the possibility that only the cups of the bra are produced in this faxsdhion and used in bras in which the wings of the bra are made of other
suitable material. * I. *. S * ** I... * * ***.
