Embodiment Construction

[0022] The message strip 10, shown in FIG. 1, is in the form of a continuous bracelet with an endless ring 11 which may be made of neoprene or plastic or other inert material, including metals and ceramics, having the requisite characteristics. The ring 11 is waterproof, lightweight, resilient, flexible, and non-irritating to the user. The ring may be formed as a tube or laminated plies to enclose the electromechanical components 13, shown in FIG. 4, in an internal cavity.

[0023] The outer surface 12 of the ring 11 has a visible message 14. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the message is a one word text. The text message may be excised from the outer surface of the ring, as shown in FIG. 1, or a sleeve 15 may be slid over the bracelet to cover the open mouth 16 of the internal cavity 17. The message is projected through the excised outer surface or sleeve as a visible light from the illuminating source 34 which may be incandescent, vacuum, LED, LCD or other, driven by the battery 31 i...

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Almost every autumn in some football training exercises, the tragedy of a young person's death due to heat exhaustion is repeated. Of course, this is an extreme example but many people, and not just conditioned athletes, expose themselves to the dangers of heat stroke simply through stress or inattention to their physical condition. [0003] In addition to athletes who may be focused on their activity, it is well known that older individuals are often dehydrated simply as a result of neglect of body functions or forgetfulness. Further, dietary guidelines suggest that an individual should consume at least 64 ounces of water or similar non-caffeine fluid per day. If all the fluid is taken at one time, fluid overloading can be counterproductive since rapid hydration can...
