Benefits of technology

[0012]Another advantage of the invention is the use of pockets within the bra material to hold unused bra sections. For example, when converting from a demi cup to a balcony cup, an upper section of the demi cup may fold into a pocket, converting the bra to a balcony cup.

Problems solved by technology

In the related art, bra support structures, such as wires are rigidly attached to the bra and do not allow for multiple cup configurations.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,496,205 issued on Mar. 5, 1996 to Lee discloses a brassier having concealed pockets, but fails to disclose or anticipate means or methods of converting a demi cup bra to a balcony cup bra by use of cup enclosures and folding bra material.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,585,200 issued on Sep. 8, 2009 to McLaren discloses a detachable holder that is attached to a bra, but fails to provide a convertible bra style.

Abstract

An adjustable bra system uses pockets 13 on the back side of balcony cups 12 to store demi cup material 11 to convert a demi cup bra to a balcony cup bra. Various bridges connect bra cups together; the bridges include a quick release clasp system 719 allowing the bra cups to quickly spring off the user. Other bridges include the use of offset or staggered 617 receiving snaps allowing for shape adjustment in the bridge area. Bra cups may also have multiple wire channels to accept adjustable wire. The bra cups may also have multiple openings to accept adjustable wire of various lengths.
