DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In reference to the drawings and, in particular, to Fig. 1, there is illustrated a brassiere pad generally represented by reference numeral 10. The brassiere pad 10 is a molded multi-layer pad. Pad 10 has an inner layer 15 at a concave surface or inner surface of pad 10. Pad has an outer layer 35 at a convex layer or surface of pad 10. Between inner layer 15 and outer layer 35 is a foam layer 30. Foam layer 30 has a degree of thickness to provide a light degree of coverage and loft when placed in a brassiere. Pad 10 has an apex 40 centrally located at mid portion of pad 10. While pad 10 has a generally uniform thickness, regions of 10 differing thicknesses could also be used in pad 10 to offer different effects to the wearer.
Referring to Fig. 2, pad 10 is shown in an exploded view. Between inner layer 15 and foam layer 30 is a fourth layer or cover 20. Cover 20 has a smaller surface than layers 15, 30 or 35. Cover 20 is centrally located over apex 40 of pad 10. When pad 10 is fitted within a brassiere, cover 20 is coincident with apex 40 of the brassiere to offer complete coverage and modesty to the wearer. While cover 20 is shown coincident with the apex 40, on a different style of brassiere, for example balconette or demi cup brassieres, cover 20 would be coincident with the desired anatomical feature to provide optimal modesty.
Pad 10 is a thin low to medium coverage pad, as shown in Fig. 3. Typically such pads, when placed in a brassiere will not provide substantial modesty to the wearer when thin or revealing outer clothes are worn. However, cover 20, of the present invention is centrally located to ensure that despite the minimal thickness of pad 10, that adequate coverage is provided. Were cover 20 not present between layers 15 and 30, the wearer's modesty would not be preserved and undesired exposure would be visible through the outer clothing. When pad 10 is incorporated into a brassiere of the present invention, a minimally padded brassiere that provides full modesty and coverage is provide. Such a brassiere incorporating pad 10 eliminates the need to wear a heavily padded brassiere to achieve full modesty.
Referring to Figs. 2, 4 and 5, cover 20 is located between layer 15 and foam layer 30, to ensure invisibility beneath outer clothing. Foam layer 30 acts as a buffer to prevent any possible relief or visibility of cover beneath clothing. Were cover 20 between foam layer 30 and outer layer 35, cover 20 would possibly be visible through outer layer 35 and beneath clothing. While cover 20 is invisible from outer layer 35, it is visible through concave layer 15 in relief.
Cover 20 is placed between layer 15 and layer 30. Cover 20 is preferably a layer of material, such as, nylon, although other materials such as polyester or cotton that have a smooth surface when molded/laminated between inner layer 15 and foam layer 30, could also be used. Similarly, a laminated package of a combination of materials that have a smooth surface when molded, could also be used. Cover 20 is preferably made of any material or combination of materials that easily drapes or conforms during the lamination and molding processes. Layer 15 made from a material such as polyester, nylon, cotton blend or a rayon blend or any other material that is easily molded. Layer 35 is made from the same or similar material as layer 15 that is easily molded. Layer 30 is a layer of foam, preferably polyeurethane foam, or any other similar material that is easily molded and laminated and capable of withstanding heat and numerous washings.
Referring to Fig. 4, the concave or inner surface of pad 10 is shown. Cover 20 is shown and shaped as a flower. While cover 20, has a decorative shape, the shape is also functional. The flower shape permits cover 20 to more easily conform to the shape of the apex compared to other shapes. For example a purely circular shaped cover, if made from a stiff material, would tend to have puckers or ripples at its edges when it is molded at the apex of the pad. A circular shape of a supple material would provide proper draping. Other shapes that would also be functional as well as decorative are a clover, a star or a sunburst.
As shown in Fig. 5, the outer surface of pad 10 does not show the relief of cover 20.
Fig. 6 shows a brassiere 50 that incorporates the pad 10 at cups 55. Brassiere 50 is shown as a softcup brassiere, however, pad 10 of the present invention can be incorporated into an underwire, a strapless brassiere, a sports brassiere, or a demi-cup brassiere for example, for example. Brassiere 50 when worn offers the wearer the convenience and comfort of a lightweight brassiere and with the confidence and modesty of a heavily padded brassiere. Cover generally has a smaller surface area than inner liner layer 15, foam layer 30 and outer layer 35. By having a smaller surface area than the other layers of pad10, brassiere 50 offers a low padded brassiere that provides full modesty and coverage is provide.
