Luminescent horizontal three stripes band for sports apparels

Abstract

A novel luminescent three horizontal stripes band consists of, including but not limited to, luminous plastic tapes, dyes and threads attached, painted, and embroidered around the neck of a polar shirt, around the side of a bucket hat, ski hat, along the right and left side of a sun visor cap with the three horizontal stripes ending at the beginning where a predetermined fastening attachment is placed at the back of the said caps; around the side of a sport cap, on a wrist band, head band, and arm band. The luminescent stripes band of this invention has an opening at the front middle face where the three stripes do not cross over for, including but not limited to, a logo, an emblem and a trademark to be positioned. The luminescent three stripes band gives a ‘warning’ signal to a bystander that the wearer is amongst the surroundings of the bystander when, but not limited to the sun setting, in bad weather, at night, forest and in a dark park.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel luminescent three horizontal stripes band for various sports apparels.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to a luminescent three horizontal stripes band consists of luminescent materials decorated on different sports apparels.

[0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0005] U.S. Pat. No. 3,953,892 to Kennedy, et al. illustrates a safety swim cap provided in a variety of fluorescent colors and consisting of multiples of interconnected deflectable tubes. The tubes are inflatable from a single valve. These colors provide sharp visibility in placid or rough waters. This swimming cap acts as a variety of life-saving equipment.

[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 5,111,366 to Rife, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,829,063 to Cheng and U.S. Pat. No. 6,167,570 to Su demonstrate caps for displaying information on the front of a cap. The transparent panel on the front of the cap is illuminated from its edge, with a battery supplying the power for the illumination arrangement. It works as a battery operated signboard.

[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 5,177,812 to DeMars teaches how to use light tube on an article of a personal wearing apparel, such as a cap, that has a specific exterior ornamental configuration. The light tube is to be flexible enough to accommodate the mentioned specific shape of groove. The illuminatable tube includes a substance that once activated cause the tube to glow for a period of time.

[0008] U.S. Pat. No. 5,567,038 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,738,431 to Lary teach how to attach a fluorescent light on a cap. The said fluorescent light is detachable and can be placed onto a different placed. It permits the wearer to see and perform functions in the dark without the usage of his hands. It can be seen as a simple miner's hat.

[0009] None of the mentioned prior arts discloses the attachment of luminescent three stripes band to commercial sports apparels.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0010] A novel luminescent three horizontal stripes band consists of, including but not limited to, luminous plastic tapes, dyes and threads attached, painted, and embroidered around the neck of a polar shirt, around the side of a bucket hat and ski hat; along the right and left side of a sun visor and sport cap with the three horizontal stripe ending at the beginning where a predetermined fastening attachment is placed; around the side of a sports cap; on a wrist band, head band, arm band, glove, sox, stocking, turtle neck, sweat shirts, polo shirts, sports shirts, t-shirts, jacket, and pants. The luminescent three stripes band of this invention have 30 percent opening at the front middle face where the three stripes do not cross over for, including but not limited to, a logo, an emblem and a trademark to be positioned later. The luminescent three stripes band provides a ‘warning’ signal to a bystander that the wearer is amongst the surroundings of the bystander when, but not limited to the sun setting, in all unconditional bad weather at night and in a dark park/forest.
