`
`
`
`Field of the Invention
`
`The present invention relates to a pocket bra system and
`
`more particularly pertains to removably receiving a handheld
`
`electronic device while providing support and shape to the
`
`
`breasts of a wearer,
`
`the receiving and supporting and shaping
`
`
`being done in a safe,

`
`
`
`SUMMARY OF THE
`INVENT
`
`convenient and economical manner.
`
`ON
`
`
`
`
`
`In view of the disadvantages inherent in the known types of
`
`
`bra systems of known d
`
`
`esigns and configurations now present in
`
`the prior art,
`
`the present invention provides an improved pocket
`
`bra system.
`
`As such,
`
`
`the general purpose of the present
`
`invention, which will be described subsequently in greater
`
`
`
`is to provide a new and improved pocket bra system and
`
`detail,
`
` method which has all t
`
`
`
` he advantages of the prior art and none of
`
`the disadvantages.
`
`To attain this,
`
`the present invention essentially comprises
`
`a pocket bra system.
`
`First provided is a strap assembly which
`
`includes a chest strap
`
`and shoulder straps.
`
`
`Similarly configured
`
`p. 17
`
`p. 17
`
`

`

`
` left and right cups are provided.
`
`The strap assembly is attached
`
`
`
`
`
`to the cups whereby the strap assembly adheres the cups to a
`
`wearer.
`
`
`Each cup has curved upper,
`
`lower,
`
`interior and exterior
`
`edges.
`
`
`
`Each cup has inside and outside surfaces.
`
`A patch is
`
`operatively associated with each cup.
`
`
`Bach patch has a linear
`
`upper edge and curved lower,
`
`interior and exterior edges.
`
`
`Each
`
`
`patch has inside and outside surfaces. Stitching couples the
`
`lower,
`
`
`interior and exterior edges of each patch to the lower,
`
`
`interior and exterior edges of an associated cup.
`
`
`of
`upper
`edge
`
`A linear
`
`each patch.
`
`Piping
`
`
`opening is formed along the
`
`
`upper
`edge
`of
`
`covers the
`
`each patch.
`
`The piping is adapted to
`
`
`allow the patch to move away from and back toward the cup between
`
`open and closed orientations.
`
`There has thus been outlined, rather broadly,
`
`the more
`
`
`important features of the invention in order that the detailed
`
`
`
`
`
`description thereof that follows may be better understood and in
`
`order that the present contribution to the art may be better
`
`
`appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`po
`
`form
`invention that will be described hereinafter and which wil
`
`
`the subject matter of the claims attached.
`
`
`
`In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment
`
` of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the
`
`
`invention is not limited in its application to the details of
`
`
`
`
`
`construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth
`
`p. 18
`
`p. 18
`
`

`

`in the
`following description or illustrated in
`
`the drawings.
`
`The
`
`
`invention is capable of
`
`other embodiments and of being practiced
`
`
`
`and carried out
`
`in various ways.
`
`Also,
`
`it is to be understood
`
`that the phraseology and terminol
`
`logy employed herein are
`
` for the
`
`
`purpose of descriptions and
`
`As such,
`
`those skilled in the art
`
`be regarded as limiting.
`
`will appreciate that the
`
`
`
`
`should not

`conception,
`
`upon which this
`
`disclosure is based, may readily be
`
`utilized as a basis

`
`
`for the designing of
`
`other structures,
`
`
`
`
`for carrying out
`
`
`the several purposes of
`
`the
`
`It is important,
`
`theres
`
`Fore,
`
`that the claims
`
`
`be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as
`
`they do not depart
`
`
`
`from the spirit and scope of
`
`the present
`
`invention.
`
`
`
`It is therefore an object of
`
`the present invention to
`
`provide a new
`
`and improved pocket bra sys
`
`
`tem which has all of
`
`
`
`the prior art bra systems of

`
`
`figurations and none of
`the disadvantages.

`

`

`
`
` An even further object of
`
`the present invention is to
`
`provide a new and improved pocket bra system which is susceptible
`
`
`
`of a low cost of manut
