摘要:
In the current design of sport bras, mobile phones are stored in the upper bra areas, in front of the bra pads, under armpit, and back of upper bra. The most common sports bra pockets are without zipper closure, and use gravity and other passive compression closure design function to keep items secure and from falling out of place.A challenge with these pockets, for the storage of mobile phones and other items, is that there are no operational components for keeping items fully secure from and from falling out of place during fitness and physical activities. These are not completely practical storage pockets for a wearer engaged in a upside down position of physical activity where gravity can cause items to fall out of the pocket areas.Some sports bra pocket designs do include zipper closures, however the locations of the storage pockets for mobile phones are also not completely practical for a wearer who is engaged in physical activity, such as running, and want to easily retrieve their mobile phone.In some cases, a pocket with zipper closure is located at the back of the sports bra or on a closure inside the bra. A problem with this approach is that accessibility and ease of use poses a challenge for the wearer, and is not ergonomically designed. More-over, the difficulty in the wear reaching the pocket closures could, over time, compromised the condition of the closure and pocket, rendering the method less effective. Therefore, what is clearly needed is a sports bra with a mobile phone pocket that solves the above limitations.The problem stated above is that ease of use and secure closure is desirable for a sports bra pocket that stores a mobile phone, but many of the conventional means for sport bras storing mobile phones, such storage locations and closures and do not provide ease of use operation.The inventor realized, in an inventive moment, that if during the operation of storing and retrieving a mobile phone the pocket could be in an area where a wearer of a sports bra would easily place hands would significant improve ease of use. Therefore, the inventor, after considering all of the ergonomic functions and components for a mobile phone pocket on a sports bra, found that the ideal place would be at the lower-band of the sports bra.The design would require widening the typical width of the bra lower-band, and incorporating other elements that exhibit interoperability and that could provide consistent successful use.The design call for zippered opening on one side of the pocket and a headphone chord hole opening on the opposite side of the pocket that allows a user to unzip the pocket opening, run the headphone plug through the headphone chord hole, from the opposite end, inside the pocket, plug the headphone plug into the phone then store the phone inside the zippered pocket in the widened lower-band of the sports bra. A significant improvement in operational consistency results, with no impediment to motion nor complexity of use is created.
