Abstract

This technical disclosure is in association with invention which pertains to the usage of sheet liquid crystal in a manner to which it is installed in a clothing garment. To wit: a tee shirt with lining. Said liquid crystal changes colors as wearer's body temperatures and environments change.

Description

  • This application is based on provisional application 61/278,484 filed on Oct. 8, 2009, the priority of which is hereby proclaimed.
  • Concept of the invention is in that and encapsulated sheet of liquid crystal (LC) is mounted as sewn onto the outer surface of a cotton/cotton blend Tee shirt. The physical and chemical reaction of the (LC) when exposed to human body temperature and surroundings cause many color changes.
  • Detailed description Mylar incased (LC) with a reaction table to the 30-40 Celsius temperature range 0.007 in thickness is cut in variable shapes and designs and attached by means of sewn thread to a cotton or acrylic blend Tee shirt/sports shirt
  • Items described in 0001, 0002 and 0003 coupled with human body temperature and prescribed environment Tee shirt will change six colors: green, blue, black, yellow, red, purple and many hues of these colors
  • The impending results of the above for mentioned exposes a vast array of explosive designs as color changes

Claims (5)

1. The use of Mylar encapsulated Liquid Crystal reaction temperature 30-40 Celsius.
2. Item described in claim #1 sewn into a tee shirt in various patterns.
3. The display and reaction from claim #1 coupled with claim #2.
4. The color change reaction caused by body temperature and/or environmental changes when claim #'s 1,2 and 3 are combined.
5. No claim to tee shirt patterns or designs
