Brassiere insert

Abstract

A brassiere insert for placement within brassiere cups during storage and transportation may be provided. The brassiere insert may be composed of a fluid-impervious thermoplastic film that is sealed along its edges so as to form an inflatable chamber body. The inflatable chamber body may be defined by at least one hemispherical section, configured to fit within an interior portion of the brassiere cup. A valve may be provided at an inlet port along an edge of the chamber body for selectively admitting air and/or other gases into the chamber body for inflation. The brassiere insert may be provided with branding and other merchandising information.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An insert comprising:
 at least one panel having at least one layer of film and the insert is cut to a shape and size for insertion into an article having at least one dot component such that the insert is recyclable.   
     
     
         2 . The insert of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one panel is a plurality of panels that are sealed together by the at least one dot component. 
     
     
         3 . The insert of  claim 1 , wherein the insert is made with virgin polyethylene and nylon resins. 
     
     
         4 . The insert of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one layer of film is thermoplastic. 
     
     
         5 . The insert of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one layer of film comprises indicia. 
     
     
         6 . The insert of  claim 5 , wherein the indicia comprises single or multiple alphanumeric characters, symbols, emblems, images, colors, patterns or designs. 
     
     
         7 . The insert of  claim 1 , wherein the article is a brassiere. 
     
     
         8 . An insert for an article comprising:
 a plurality of intermediate panels such that the plurality of intermediate panels are constructed out of thermoplastic film;   and the insert is formed by overlapping the plurality of intermediate panels and the intermediate panels are sealed together by at least one heat seal dot component.   
     
     
         9 . The insert of  claim 8 , wherein the insert is inflated. 
     
     
         10 . The insert of  claim 8 , wherein the insert is composed of a fluid-impervious thermoplastic film sealed along its edges to form an inflatable chamber body. 
     
     
         11 . The insert of  claim 10 , wherein an inflatable chamber body is formed that is defined by a hemispherical section. 
     
     
         12 . The insert of  claim 11 , wherein the hemispherical section has an inlet port with a valve. 
     
     
         13 . The insert of  claim 10 , wherein the inflatable chamber body is divided into a plurality of differentiated inflatable sections. 
     
     
         14 . The insert of  claim 13 , wherein the plurality of differentiated inflatable sections comprises a first hemispherical section, a second hemispherical section and a connector section. 
     
     
         15 . The insert of  claim 14 , wherein the first and second hemispherical sections are symmetrical and spaced apart via the connector section. 
     
     
         16 . A brassiere insert intermediate comprising:
 At least one panel comprising at least one film layer and the at least one panel has an eliminated portion substantially circular in shape with a rectangular area; and   the rectangular area has an inlet conduit for a valve assembly.
