Patent number: 7520073Abstract: A sign comprising at least one support member and a body portion attached to the support member. The sign includes at least one reflective layer secured to the body portion. The sign includes at least one optically transmissive layer secured to the reflective layer such that the reflective layer is positioned between the optically transmissive layer and the body portion. The optically transmissive layer defines an interior portion, a border encompassing the interior portion, and at least one message positioned at least partially within the interior portion. The interior portion and the border comprise contrasting colors. The reflective layer is structured to reflect light through the optically transmissive layer to augment the contrast between the interior portion and the border to thereby enhance the visibility of the message.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2005Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Innovision Sports Marketing, Inc.Inventor: Christopher D.

Patent number: 4700403Abstract: A protective pad assembly usable primarily by athletes to protect body parts from injury, especially from traumatic shock as when struck by a high speed hockey puck. The pad assembly includes a relatively rigid outer shell or shield and an inner air entrained cushion releasably attached to the outer shell and closely conformable to the body part being protected. The cushion includes a flexible, shock absorbent pad covered by a flexible air impervious case. The pad is formed of a soft, springy material which expels air upon compression, such as polyurethane foam. Small openings in the case are provided for expulsion of air from the case upon deflection of the pad as under the influence of the force of impact of an external object. The amount and rate at which air is expelled from the case influences the resiliency and shock absorbency characteristics of the cushion.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1986Date of Patent: October 20, 1987Assignee: Sports Marketing, Inc.Inventor: Eugene J. Vacanti

Patent number: 4197667Abstract: A fishing lure body has at least one cone shaped air trap pocket with a small apical port opening to the outside whereby on entry of the lure into fishing water the air in the pocket provides some buoyancy and the air is adapted to bubble from the pocket as a fish attractor. Water in the pocket provides a reflecting surface visible through the opening and serves as a further attractor. Soft flexibly resilient structure of the body permits the water to squirt from the pocket through the opening when a fish strikes the lure. The body may be of various forms such as simulating a worm, a lizard, salamander, grub, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 1978Date of Patent: April 15, 1980Assignee: Sports Marketing, Inc.Inventors: Ronald A.
