Embodiment Construction

[0029] The present invention broadly concerns clothing of the type that is adapted to be worn by humans or animals. This invention is particularly adapted for use in costume designs, although it should be understood that the scope of this invention is not restricted to costumes or accessories for costumes. Indeed, the present invention can relate to enhancing the appearance of any garment or garment accessory using electro-luminescent wires. Accordingly, as is used herein, the term “garment” includes both a traditional garment, such as clothing, as well as a garment accessory.

[0030] An important aspect of the present invention, as described below, is the use of a luminescent wire that is powered by a suitable power source.

Abstract

A garment provided with luminescent decoration includes a garment body and a length of piping supported thereon as a sleeve of mesh material that receives a length of flexible cable that can emit visible light therefrom. A power source is supported by the garment body and, when active, causes the cable to emit light that can pass through the piping so as to be seen by an observer. The piping can frame a portion of the garment body, can form a design feature or can be a portion of the garment body. The cable may be an electroluminescent wire, and the power source may be an alternating current source. The power source may be supported in a pouch on the garment body. The piping can have a mesh size of about one-sixteenth inches square. A method of forming a garment having light emitting accents is also disclosed.
