'I'he' object of this invention isthprovision or a framework of elastic material fitted to the body of the bust-bodice or brassiere belowtlielbreasts upon the extrior'sides" of same; in a man- "ner adapted. to n'iaintaihthe b'rassiere fittedto the shape of the breasts in spite of any changes iii position a: the body.
pone; plastic-material; at other suitable elastic and flexible material. p v a bitSSire fittedwith the framework accordance with my intennoathe necessity' for shoulder stra-ps' is eliminated, thereby do mg away with an the discomfort of these straps that always have "a tendencytofit too tightly upon the shoulders. V I H The framework consists of two frahis, s*" 'f metrically arra'nged with respectlto the aicis of the bust, which passes between thebreasts and these frames are shapedapproximately like'twb letters M, with two matching branches at the central portion where the frames meet.
'I'hebranches of these'frames that matchare? disposed; either diver'gir'rg from orelsef parallel with each other, in-tne centre of the brassiejr'e', between the breasts, across the. body of the brassiere.
The upper central portion of each frame is disposed below each breast.
These centralportions may be shaped in the form ofthe letter V, or they may consist of a curve uniting the outside branches of each frame with the matching centre branches of same. i
In the former case, the body-of the *brassire covering the V is curyedbelow each breast. In the latter casethecentral curt/es of the frames follow the outline of the lower parts of the'breasts at their junction with the thorax.
In both cases the exterior branches of each frame cross the body of the brassiere.
The end points of the branches of the frames are approximately in line with the lower band or girdle, of the brassiere, which is fitted to the outline of the bust.
The matching branches of the frames act as a hinge when folding the brassiere for repairs or transport.
The whole of the framework is suitably covered with material for comfort and appearance.
2 My invention offers the advantage. of able to adapt the bi assiere to the body by a 4 justing the shapeof' the framework so thatlthe most suitable outline is formed when sameis fitted upon the bust. A m
Various different embodiments of my invention are described below and are shown in the accompanying drawings in which similar parts carry the same references throughout. I"
'Fig'. 1 is a front view of an extended brass showingthe framework formed by two syn; etrical frames with curved upper centre port ns,
Fig. 2 is a side view of a brassiei'eiitted bust, showing the curved centre po'rtion of one of the symmetrical frames corresponding to Fig. 3 is a front view of an extended. brassiere, showing the framework formed by two symmet rical frames with centre portions shaped in the form of short Vs. I I,
Fig. 4 is a front view of an extended'br assiere showing the framework formed by two symmet: rical frames with centre portions shaped in the form of long Vfs. k H I 5 is a fr sim ar o that 9 1 wherein the matching branches of the symmetrical frames are limited in length at the position of the hinge or fold. A

In this embodiment theframework consists of two frames: 4 and 4' composed of; the central curved portions 5 alldffi which unite the outer branches 1 and 8 with the matched branches 1' and 8' respectively in each of the frames and 4'. p
The-matched branches 1' and 8' of the frames 4 and '4' are disposed in diverging lines at the centre of the brassiere between the breasts, and extend across the body i of the brass-iere down to the ends 9 and Ill which are bent over and fastened in the lower band I I of the body I and body portion 2 of the brassiere.
These matched parallel branches 1' and 8' allow the brassire to be folded along the line that separates them and act as a hinge.
The central curved portions 5 and 6 of each frame 4 and 5' pass under each breast, following the outline of same on the line of junction with the thorax. The outer branches 1 and 8 of each of the frames cross the body I of the brassiere and are bent over and fastened at their extremities I2 and I3 in the lower girdle II of the brassiere, being approximately in line with the extremities 9 and I of the branches I and 8.
The curved portions and 6 of the frames 4 and 4' unite the branches I and I and 8 and 8 respectively at the points I4 and I4 and I5 and I5 which points are raised in proportion to the volume of the breasts supported between these points and the respective curved portions 5 and 6 by suitable material which gives an artistic finish to the brassire.
The brassiere may be made to include shapes or hollow moulds of suitable form to support or cover the breasts, and may include any kind of known adornment or decoration.
In all the figures of the drawings, the letter .P denotes the outline of the brassiere the lower edge of which is formed by the girdle or band I I. When the brassiere with the above described framework is put on, the body I is fastened to the thorax and the portion 2 is fitted round the bust with the consequence that the end points I2, 9, I9 and I3 are supported by the band II of the body I and body portion 2.
The curves 5 and 3 that unite the branches"? and I to 8 and 8 follow the lower outline of the breasts.
The framework when disposed in the above manner, forms an elastic combination which tends to return to' its original shape as soon as the cause of elastic deformation, brought about by movements of the body, is removed.
All such movements are dissimulated by the elements employed in the confection of the brassire.
In Fig. 3, the central'portions of the matched frames 4 and 4 which constitute the framework are shaped in the form of short Vs marked I0 and IT.
The body i of the brassiere covering those Vs is curved below the breasts, following lower contour of same, as indicated by the letter P. The matched branches 1' and 8' of the frames are disposed in parallel upon the centre-line of the brassire, between the breasts. The remaining portions of the framework are identical with those of Fig. l.
The central portions H5 and I! of the frames 4 and 4 in Fig.4 are shaped like a long letter V, with their lower points I8 and I9 flattened and fixed to the band II in line with the end points 9,'I0, l2 and I3 of the branches I, 8', I and 8 of the-frames G and 4'.
In Figs 5 and 6, the matched branches 1' and 8 are limited in length to the indispensable extension for attaching to the material of the brassire and assisting in the formation of a hinge for folding.
Finally, in Fig. 6 it will be seen that the central portions of the frames 4 and 4' are formed like small inverted Vs, with truncated vertices, and
one branch of each 01 these Vs is bent twice at its lower extremity, and is adapted to be fixed at I8, I8, I9 and I9 upon the band II in line with the end points I2 and I3 of the outer symmetrical branches I and 8 of both frames.
While certain preferred embodiments of my invention have been illustrated and described herein, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereby, but is succeptible of changes in form and detail within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
