Abstract: The modular kit of components for an electro-luminescent lamp assembly comprises: at least one elongate electro-luminescent (EL) lamp strip having a front side which can emit electro-luminescent light and a back side having fixing means thereon for fixing the EL lamp strip to a surface; an inverter and power supply unit including an inverter circuit and a battery power source; the inverter and power supply unit having a switch including at least an ON position and an OFF position; and, coupling structure for coupling the EL lamp strip to the inverter and power supply unit after the EL lamp strip is mounted on an object.

Abstract: A protective headgear for boxing and other activities involving direct violence to the head is provided which protects the eyes from direct contact of the padded thumbs and the impacts of blows. The headgear will also provide protection from serious lacerations in critical areas above and around the eyes. The headgear has a multi-layer padded band which extends across the face to cover the upper and lower perimeters of the orbits and the nasal bone. The headgear is fabricated to provide a custom fit by applying component layers to a plaster cast of the face so as to achieve a configuration which will not shift and will afford maximum protection.

Abstract: A cover for a boxing glove for holding the thumb enclosure of the boxing glove against the glove. The cover also provides a smooth back for a glove which has been worn and abraded so that the glove can continue to be used without producing abrasions from the worn surface. The thumb holding or retaining portion may be elasticized. Laces or other means may be used to secure the cover to the glove.
