AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a system for identifying lost or stolen shirts. It consists of a small metal connector attached to a wooden frame that can be embedded into the shirt. The connector is positioned in a lower corner of the shirt, usually on or near the hem or seam. The connector is flexible and allows for easy handling of the shirt without interfering with its appearance. This system provides durability and prevents damage to the shirt and can be used for easy identification of, and recovery of, lost or stolen shirts.

Problems solved by technology

The flexible connector is limited in length in some arrangements to prevent movement that could result in snagging or general annoyance.
The use of an eyelet and chain, along with positioning on the shirt, provides durability to the token system while limiting the potential of the shirt being torn or otherwise damaged by accidental engagement or use of the token system.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]With reference to the Figures a token system 10 is provided that has a connector or eyelet 12, a flexible connector or chain 14, and a wood token 16. As seen in the Figures, the token system 10 is integrated into a shirt 18—adaptation of the token system 10 for other pieces of clothing is contemplated.

[0023]The shirt 18 is any conventional shirt 18 that is typically comprised of a front or first piece of cloth 20 and a back or second piece of cloth 22 that are connected to one another along a seam 24. The front piece 20 of cloth has a front 26A and a back 28A and the back piece of cloth 22 has a front 26B and a back 28B.

[0024]A top portion 30 of the shirt 18 is a collar 32 that forms a top opening 34 for a person's head. At opposing sides 36 of the top portion 30 are arm openings 38 for a person's arms. A bottom portion 40 of the shirt 18 has a bottom opening 42 that a person's torso extends through. A hem 44 extends around the bottom opening 42.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a token system for a shirt. The token system has a connector or eyelet that is integrated into the shirt. A chain or flexible connector is connected to the connector or eyelet and also to a wood token. In some iterations of the token system, the connector or eyelet is positioned in a lower corner of the shirt and more particularly, some embodiments position the eyelet on or near the hem and seam of the shirt. In this way, the token system provides for convenient access to “knock on wood” to increase a person's luck.

More specifically, and without limitation, this invention relates to a token system for a shirt.[0002]Throughout the world there are a variety of actions and items that are believed to bring bad or good luck or fortune to a person. For instance, the passage of a black cat in a person's path or the number 13 are both associated with bad luck. Other actions and items are associated with good luck, such as a lucky rabbit's foot or a four-leaf clover. Some sources of luck are more personalized, such as growing out an individual's hair or facial hair to continue to receive good luck or wearing a particular article of clothing during particular events to enhance the likelihood of success.[0003]One way of bringing on good luck is believed to be touching wood, or as it is known in the United States, knocking on wood. Knocking on wood, or a variation thereof, is recognized throughout the world, including Austr...
