Abstract
A cover in the form of a blanket has a protective grid of phosphorescent material that when exposed to light and placed in a dark environment emits light for a period of time. The protective grid is a pattern of intersecting ribbons of photophorescent material anchored to and covering substantially one surface of a fabric. The protective grid provides a visual light shield that creates an image of protection and is useable for amusement and entertainment.
Claims59
A cover comprising:
- a sheet member having a surface and an outer peripheral edge, and protection pattern means anchored to the surface of the sheet member and extended over substantially the entire surface of said sheet member, said pattern means comprising a plurality of ribbons of phosphorescent material that emits light when subjected to light and subsequently located in a dark environment, said ribbons of phosphorescent material being spaced from each other and located over substantially the entire surface of the sheet member whereby when the sheet member is exposed to a lighted environment and subsequently to a dark environment the phosphorescent material emits light creating a lighted pattern of a graphic representation of a relatively wide and deep visual shield like image, and fluorescent material attached to the sheet member in the spaces between the ribbons, said fluorescent material reflecting visible light and said phosphorescent material emitting visible light when subjected to black light.
A cover comprising:
- a member having a top surface, a plurality of intersecting ribbons of phosphorescent material anchored to said surface, said ribbons being spaced from each other and extended over substantially the entire top surface of the member and forming a pattern thereon having a graphic representation of a shield whereby when the member is subjected to a lighted environment and subsequently to a darkened environment, the ribbons emit light creating an imaginary protective environment, and fluorescent means between the spaced ribbons attached to the member operable to reflect visible light when subjected to light in the ultra violet wavelength image.
A cover comprising:
- a sheet member having a surface, a plurality of first means of phosphorescent material anchored to and located over substantially the entire surface to form a shield-like image thereon whereby when the cover is exposed to a lighted environment and subsequently to a dark environment the phosphorescent material admits light creating a relatively wide and deep light shield-like image, and second fluorescent means secured to the sheet member spaced from the first means, said second fluorescent means reflecting visible light and said phosphorescent material emitting visible light when subjected to light in the ultra violet wavelength range.
A cover comprising:
- a sheet member having a surface and an outer peripheral edge, and protection pattern means anchored to the surface of the sheet member and extended over substantially the entire surface of said sheet member, said pattern means comprising a plurality of ribbons of phosphorescent material that emits light when subjected to light and subsequently located in a dark environment, said ribbons of phosphorescent material being spaced from each other and located over substantially the entire surface of the sheet member whereby when the sheet member is exposed to a lighted environment and subsequently to a dark environment the phosphorescent material emits light creating a lighted pattern of a graphic representation of a relatively wide and deep visual protective environment shield that mitigates a person's fears including nycotophobia, myxophobia, phasmophobia, teratophobia, and blennophobia, said ribbons of phosphorescent material include a plurality of first linear ribbons and a plurality of second linear ribbons positioned at an angle relative to the first linear ribbons, said first linear ribbons being laterally spaced from each other, said first and second ribbons intersecting each other and providing spaces between adjacent ribbons;
- and fluorescent means attached to the sheet member in the spaces between the adjacent ribbons operable to reflect visible light when subjected to light in the ultra violet wavelength range.
A cover comprising:
- a sheet member having a surface and an outer peripheral edge, and protection pattern means anchored to the surface of the sheet member and extended over substantially the entire surface of said sheet member, said pattern means comprising a plurality of ribbons of phosphorescent material that emits light when subjected to light and subsequently located in a dark environment, said ribbons of phosphorescent material being spaced from each other and located over substantially the entire surface of the sheet member whereby when the sheet member is exposed to a lighted environment and subsequently to a dark environment the phosphorescent material emits light creating a lighted pattern of a graphic representation of a relatively wide and deep visual protective environment shield that mitigates a person's fears including nyctophobia, myxophobia, phasmophobia, teratophobia, and blennophobia, said ribbons of phosphorescent material include a plurality of first spiral ribbons having a generally longitudinal arrangement on the sheet member and a plurality of second spiral ribbons having a generally latitudinal arrangement on the sheet member, said second spiral ribbons intersecting said first spiral ribbons and providing spaces between adjacent ribbons, and means attached to the sheet member in the spaces between the adjacent ribbons operable to reflect visible light when subjected to light in the ultra violet wavelength range.
A cover comprising:
- a sheet member having a surface and an outer peripheral edge, and protection pattern means anchored to the surface of the sheet member and extended over substantially the entire surface of said sheet member, said pattern means comprising a plurality of ribbons of fluorescent material that reflects light when subjected to black light, said ribbons of fluorescent material being spaced from each other and located over substantially the entire surface of the sheet member whereby when the sheet member is exposed to black light fluorescent material reflects light creating a lighted pattern of a graphic representation of a relatively wide and deep visual shield like image, and phosphorescent material attached to the sheet member in the spaces between the ribbons, said fluorescent material reflecting visible light and said phosphorescent material emitting visible light when subjected to black light and said phosphorescent mateial emits light when subjected to light and subsequently located in a dark environment.
A cover comprising:
- a member having a top surface, a plurality of intersecting ribbons of phosphorescent and fluorescent materials anchored to said surface, said ribbons being spaced from each other and extended over substantially the entire top surface of the member and forming a pattern thereon being a graphic representation of a shield whereby when the sheet member and ribbons are subjected to a lighted environment and subsequently to a darkened environment, the ribbons of phosphorescent materials emit light creating an imaginary protective environment and when the sheet member and ribbons are subjected to black light the ribbons of fluorescent materials reflect light and the ribbons of phosphorescent materials emit light.
A cover comprising:
- a member having a surface, first means of phosphorescent material anchored to said surface whereby when the member is subjected to a light environment and subsequently to a darkened environment the phosphorescent material emits light, and second means of fluorescent material spaced from the first means attached to said surface operable to reflect visible light when subjected to light in the ultra violet wavelength range.
