DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A brassiere frame adapted for use in a breast pocket for supporting the breast comprising an arcuately shaped wire for circumscribing the bottom circumferential portion of a breast pocket, and means for covering the opposed tip ends of said wire, said latter means comprising a flexible member having an opening extending into one end thereof adapted to snugly receive the end portion of the wire, and complementary means formed on said wire and said cover member for securing said cover member to said wire, said complementary means comprising means defining a hole in said cover member disposed in communication with the opening in the end thereof and extending substantially laterally of said opening, and a locking projection adjacent the end of said wire received in the hole in the cover member, said wire having a substantially rectangular cross-section and said locking projection being formed in an edge of said wire.
2.
The invention as defined in claim 1, wherein the cover is positioned with two diametrically opposed holes, and the wire has a locking projection on each edge thereof received in one said hole.
3.
The invention as defined in claim 1, wherein the end of the wire has a reduced tip portion, and the locking projection extends from an edge of said reduced tip portion.
4.
The invention as defined in claim 1, wherein the locking projection is rectangular.
5.
The invention as defined in claim 1, wherein the locking projection has one edge facing the outermost end of the wire substantially perpendicular to the long axis of the wire and another edge at an angle to said long axis, thereby forming a pointed tip adapted to be received in the hole in said cover member.
6.
The invention as defined in claim 1, wherein the wire is coated with a resilient or plastic material.
7.
The invention as defined in claim 1, wherein a sheath of resilient or plastic material is provided covering the wire.
8.
