Benefits of technology

The invention aims to create a system that allows for quick and easy application of individual indicia on multiple surfaces of a reversible garment. This will provide a more efficient and convenient method for adding custom markings to clothing.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, most forms of indicia can only be applied before the garment is assembled.
These limitations can be extremely frustrating for decorators, applique companies, individuals and manufacturers.

Embodiment Construction

[0042]The best mode for carrying out the invention is presented in terms that disclose a preferred embodiment of a system for applying indicia to a reversible garment, as shown in FIGS. 1-18. Applying indicia to a garment is a common practice utilized by individuals and garment manufacturers and there are various types of indicia which can be applied to a wide variety of garments. One style of garment that is especially popular and practical is a reversible garment, which typically provides a person with a garment such as a jacket that can be turned inside-out to display two colors of material. It is possible to apply indicia to one surface of a reversible garment, but as a result of the indicia applying processes, it is not possible to apply individual indicia to both surfaces of a reversible garment. The instant invention solves this problem by providing a system that quickly and easily facilitates the application of indicia one or to both surfaces of a reversible garment.

Abstract

A system (10) for applying indicia to a reversible garment. The system is comprised of an indicia barrier (12) typically in the form of a square (14) and a reversible garment (38) that includes a first layer (40) with an inner section (42) and an outer section (44), and a second layer (46) with an inner section and an outer section. A re-sealable opening (58) having an opening fastener (60) allows the indicia barrier (12) to be inserted between either of the layers, thereby creating an impediment between the layers. Once the indicia barrier (12) is in place, indicia can be applied to one surface of the layer without also being applied to the adjoining layer. The reversible garment (38) can be turned inside-out and indicia can then be applied to the other surface of the layer.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention generally pertains to garments and garment manufacturing, and more particularly to a system that facilitates the application of various types of indicia to a reversible garment.BACKGROUND ART[0002]One of the most common and culturally required aspects of human life throughout the world is the use of apparel such as garments. The types, styles and appearance of garments vary among the regions of world, yet the use of some type of garments is typically ubiquitous.[0003]A particularly popular and practical garment is known as a reversible garment. Although most commonly used for jackets, reversible garment manufacturing can be used for almost any type of garment. The most obvious benefit of a reversible garment is that a person can possess a single article of clothing that can have multiple appearances. Typically, a reversible garment will utilize two different colors to provide a better ability for matching the garment with various outfits or occasio...
