Woman's top magnetic clip that attaches to bra midsection

USPTO Application #: 20070093176
Title: Woman's top magnetic clip that attaches to bra midsection
Abstract: A magnetic clip that attaches a woman's top to her bra at the midsection between the bra cups. The clip pulls the top down onto the bra and the top conforms to the shape of the bra thus increasing the curves of the wearer. A ferric disc on the inside of the midsection is magnetically attached to a magnet on the outside of the midsection thus pinching the midsection. A magnet or ferric decoration placed on the outside of the woman's top magnetically attaches to the magnet at the midsection. The magnets are preferentially neodymium magnets. (end of abstract)

BACKGROUND

[0001] 1. Field of Invention

[0002] The improvement described herein pertains to the field of clips for clothing and particularly to products that enhance a woman's figure.

[0003] 2. Description of Prior Art

[0004] Many clothing clips exist today. They often entail a two part pin clip system with one part presenting a pin and a second part securing it. The two parts are then placed on the opposite surfaces of two items desired to be clipped together and then the pin is pushed through both items. The pin is then anchored by the second part of the system and the clip attachment complete. This system is used for tie tacks and many other clothing items.

[0005] A second clipping system is the safety pin where a needle is pushed through a clothing article twice and then anchored to itself on the outside of the fabric. This system is often used for corsages and nametags.

[0006] A third system of less common usage is the magnetic clip. This system uses two magnetically attracted pieces. One is placed on opposite sides of one or two articles of clothing and the magnetic clip attaches to itself and grips the clothing. These function to magnetically attach the clip to the clothing article and do not directly enhance the article itself. Objects are mounted on the outside of the magnetic clip such as a ferric golf ball marker or other.

[0007] Mars in U.S. Pat. No. 5,732,451 (1998) & U.S. Pat. No. 6,282,760 (2001) discloses such a magnetic clothing clip. However the clip described includes anchors fastened to the outermost magnet for securing articles to it. The function of the clip is thus described as securing other display articles to the clothing.

[0008] Capparelli in U.S. Pat. No. 6,205,585 (2001) discloses a means of attaching an inner garment to an outer garment but the means do not include magnetism.

[0009] Magnetic clips for front bra closures are known in the field. Lilly and others market such a bra.

[0010] Make Your Mark golf accessories has a clip on magnet that is suggested to be worn on a bra shoulder strap. A steel golf ball marker then may be attached on the outside of the outer garment thus leaving the marker readily available.

[0011] Magnets are also sometimes placed in bras for therapeutic reasons. The magnets are claimed to enhance circulation.

[0012] No clips are known to connect a woman's top to a bra midsection and none are known to do so for the purpose of conforming the woman's top to the bra. All magnetic clips use a two component magnetic system. All known clothing clips have an intended purpose of securing an independent article to the clothing so that the independent article may be viewed or utilized. No known clip utilizes a three component system to anchor two layers of clothing together.

SUMMARY

[0013] The improved magnetic clip described herein causes a woman's top to take on the contours of the underlying bra. This increases the contours of the woman's top and adds curve to the figure of the wearer. The clip is preferentially magnetic to aid in the ease of attachment and adjustability.

OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES

[0014] Accordingly, several objects and advantages of the disclosed improvement follow.

[0015] No magnetic clip on the market today is known to connect a woman's top to a bra midsection for the purpose of contouring the top. The clip as disclosed is designed to accomplish this. The woman's top will be pulled onto the bra and conform to the contours thereof.

[0016] The clip is designed to be magnetic and thus can easily be attached and removed without the accuracy of placement required for pin style clips. The clip can be used for many different clothing combinations so that only a single clip can serve many outfits.

[0017] The component of the magnetic clip worn on the outside of the woman's top could be a simple magnetic disc or a more decorative ornament including a magnet. The ornament could include extensions parallel to the mating surface of the magnet that would press the woman's top against her torso in areas other than just the mating surface. This would cause a larger area of the woman's top to take on the shape of the bra and thus increase the contouring effect.

[0018] The magnetic clip adds an option to detailing an outfit by adding an additional piece of jewelry.

[0019] Still further objects and advantages of the disclosed magnetic clip will become apparent from consideration of the following figures and their accompanying descriptions.
