    [0045] In the embodiments of the present application, the brassiere may comprise a cup body 10 and a lifting structure 20.

    [0046] The cup body 10 is configured to cover a wearer's breast when worn. The cup body 10 is a multi-layer molded structure formed through compression molding, providing cushioning, shaping and support effects for the wearer's breast.

    [0047] The lifting structure 20 is disposed on an inner side of the cup body 10 and spans between two opposing edges of the cup body 10. The lifting structure 20 is configured to apply a gathering force from the edges toward a center of the cup body 10 during wear.

    [0048] By arranging the lifting structure 20 on the inner side of the cup body 10 in this manner, a gathering force from edges to center can be provided during wear, significantly improving breast gathering effect and creating fuller bust contour. The inner side of the cup body 10 refers to the side facing the wearer's skin when the brassiere is worn. It should be noted that the lifting structure 20 is only connected to the edges of the cup body 10 while remaining unconnected to the central portion of the cup body 10. The lifting structure 20 spanning between the opposing edges of the cup body 10 causes the central portion of the cup body 10 to bulge upward, thereby achieving the shaping effect. Meanwhile, the lifting structure 20 itself provides supporting effect for the wearer's breast.

    [0049] The brassiere referred to in the embodiments of the present application includes, but is not limited to, conventional brassieres, sports brassieres, nursing brassieres, pumping brassieres, strapped brassieres, strapless brassieres, and other brassieres with cup bodies, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

    [0050] In one embodiment, a length of the lifting structure 20 is less than 80% of an outer contour diameter of the cup body 10. By having the length of the lifting structure 20 less than 80% of the cup body diameter, the lifting structure 30 remains in a tensioned state that pulls the edges of the cup body 10 toward the center, thereby enhancing the gathering effect of the cup body 10.

    [0051] This design ensures that the lifting structure maintains constant tension during wear, effectively improving breast support and shaping functions. Furthermore, since the lifting structure does not completely cover the central area of the cup body, this localized force application avoids discomfort for the wearer while ensuring more natural and conforming gathering effects. In practical applications, this design can be flexibly adapted to different cup body shapes to accommodate various brassiere styles, further enhancing wearing comfort and functionality.

    [0052] As shown in FIGS. 2, 5, and 6, in the first embodiment of the present application, the lifting structure 20 comprises a single lifting member 20. The lifting member 20 extends transversely along a position between the center and lower edge of the wearer's breast during wear, and is configured to provide upward lifting to support breast weight and prevent sagging. In this embodiment, the cup body 10 is substantially annular in shape, with the lifting structure 20 positioned in the lower half region of the cup body 10.

    [0053] The lifting member 20 is made of a fiber composite material with certain elasticity. This material not only provides stable supporting force but can also stretch appropriately according to the wearer's body movements, thereby ensuring wearing comfort. Furthermore, both ends of the lifting member 20 are connected to the side wings of the brassiere through a special fastening method. This connection design effectively distributes the stress points on the breast, preventing discomfort caused by excessive localized pressure.

    [0054] As shown in FIGS. 3, 7, and 8, in the second embodiment of the present application, the lifting structure 21 includes a first lifting member 211 and a second lifting member 212, wherein the first lifting member 211 and the second lifting member 212 at least partially overlap.

    [0055] The upper edges of the first lifting member 211 and the second lifting member 212 intersect with each other, forming a V-shaped structure to enhance the upward lifting effect.

    [0056] In one embodiment: The first lifting member 211 extends transversely along a position between the center and lower edge of the wearer's breast during wear, and is configured to provide upward lifting to support breast weight and prevent sagging; The second lifting member 212 extends vertically along a position between the center and side edge of the wearer's breast during wear, and is configured to provide lateral tension to gather the breast and prevent outward expansion.

    [0057] The lifting structure 21 can be designed with either a single lifting member or multiple lifting members according to requirements, enabling flexible adaptation to different users' breast characteristics and providing improved lifting and gathering effects.

    [0058] As shown in FIGS. 4, 9, and 10, in the third embodiment of the present application, the lifting structure 22 comprises a single lifting member 22. The lifting member 22 extends vertically along a position between the center and side edge of the wearer's breast during wear, and is configured to provide lateral tension to gather the breast and prevent outward expansion.

    [0059] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the lifting structure is made of mesh fabric. The lifting structure may be constructed from lightweight, breathable materials such as mesh fabric, which ensures both support effectiveness and enhanced wearing comfort.

    [0060] In one embodiment, the lifting structure is secured to the cup body via stitched seams or an elastic adhesive film. The stitched seams or elastic adhesive film fixation ensures structural stability and durability. Additionally, stitched seams allow for customizable thread materials and stitching patterns to enhance aesthetic appeal and fit, while the elastic adhesive film reduces localized pressure for improved comfort. This versatile fastening approach satisfies diverse user needs for both functionality and appearance.

    [0061] As shown in FIG. 1, in one embodiment, the brassiere further comprises a shoulder strap 30 connected to the cup body 10.

    [0062] The design of the shoulder strap 30 effectively distributes breast weight, reduces shoulder pressure, and enhances overall stability of the brassiere. The width and material of the shoulder strap can be adjusted according to user needs to provide either better support or a lighter wearing experience.

    [0063] For example, in sports brassieres, the shoulder strap 30 may adopt a widened design with anti-slip materials to maintain stability during intense activities. In everyday styles, the shoulder strap 30 may utilize softer, lighter materials to improve comfort and aesthetic appeal.

    [0064] As shown in FIG. 1, in one embodiment, the brassiere further comprises a torso-covering portion 40 connected to and surrounding the cup body 10.

    [0065] The design of the torso-covering portion 40 not only helps shape the body silhouette but also enhances the brassiere's functionality. The torso-covering portion 40 is typically positioned around the cup body 10, seamlessly connecting with the cup body 10 to form an integrated structure. The torso-covering portion 40 may be made of highly elastic fabric to accommodate users of different body types while providing additional shaping effects.

    [0066] In some embodiments, the torso-covering portion 40 incorporates breathable mesh designs to improve overall ventilation and comfort. This design is particularly suitable for hot weather, effectively reducing stuffiness while maintaining excellent fit. Moreover, the edges of the torso-covering portion are usually treated with seamless technology to prevent visible lines when wearing fitted clothing, meeting users' dual demands for aesthetics and practicality.

    [0067] In one embodiment, a surface of the lifting structure is coated with an anti-slip material. The anti-slip material may comprise anti-slip silicone attached to the surface of the lifting structure. The use of anti-slip material effectively reduces potential displacement of the brassiere during wear, further enhancing stability. This design is particularly suitable for sports or high-activity scenarios, ensuring users experience optimal support and comfort under various conditions. Additionally, the selection of anti-slip materials can be adjusted according to different skin types and seasons to meet personalized needs. For instance, more breathable materials may be chosen for summer, while softer, warmer materials may be selected for winter, thereby balancing functionality with comfort. These detailed optimizations demonstrate a high level of attention to user experience while simultaneously strengthening the product's market competitiveness.

    [0068] The embodiments of the present application achieve technical effects by providing a brassiere comprising: a cup body configured to cover a wearer's breast when worn; and a lifting structure disposed on an inner side of the cup body and spanning between two opposing edges of the cup body, the lifting structure configured to apply a gathering force from the edges toward a center of the cup body when worn. This configuration enables the lifting structure to simultaneously: (1) lift the edges of the cup body to enhance gathering and shaping effects; and (2) improve breast support for the wearer.
