Patent Application
20090165270
The present invention relates generally to the field of textile labeling. More specifically, the present invention relates to an act of marking and a method of marking, at least a portion of, a textile model insignia, other than the designer's brand and/or logo, which is adapted to be attached and bonded, with the use of a label or directly without the use of a label, onto any and all external surface area or areas of textile articles and other fashion design articles, in which such a textile model insignia is to remain uncovered and visible, and in which such a textile model insignia is to designate, to display, to indicate, to mean, and the like, in part or in whole, express or implied, some form of value, financial and/or status, or some form of classifications, or styles, or variations, or any and all combinations thereof, for the associated textile article or fashion design article.
Most textile articles and other fashion design articles include a label to indicate such information as the manufacturer, the distributor, trademark, logo, or care instructions for tending to such an article. Many of these labels are attached and bonded onto the textile articles and other fashion design articles in the neck, side, or waist area. Some trademarks and logos employ these labels to be attached and bonded onto the external surface of textile articles and other fashion design articles; some are attached and bonded directly onto such an article. There have been no known cases where a textile model insignia being employed as part of such aforementioned information, whether on the internal surface or on the external surface of textile articles and other fashion design articles.
Other products, such as motor vehicles and electronics equipments, have some type of model insignia to display on the external surface, which is uncovered and visible, to identify a model of a particular line of products. An implied advantage of such a display is to designate, to display, to indicate, to mean, and the like, in part or in whole, express or implied, some form of value, financial and/or status, or some form of classifications, or styles, or variations, or any and all combinations thereof, for the associated line of products.
Like motor vehicles and electronics equipments and any other products in the market, textile articles and other fashion design articles do vary in values, in which some values are very expensive. On the other hand, unlike motor vehicles and electronics equipments, textile articles and other fashion design articles do not come with such a model insignia on the external surface of such textile articles and other fashion design articles to designate, to display, to indicate, to mean, and the like, in part or in whole, express or implied, such a value, regardless what their costs are. In other words, when textile articles or other fashion design articles are worn, shown, displayed, uncovered, and/or visible, no model insignia as a model designation is displayed, uncovered, or visible to designate, to display, to indicate, to mean, and the like, in part or in whole, express or implied, the status and value of the particular textile articles and fashion design articles. In general, it is not readily possible for the user to showoff the value of the textile article or a fashion design article being used. In order for an admirer of such a textile article or fashion design article to gain knowledge of the cost of such a textile article or fashion design article, he or she would have to know the information beforehand or would have to guess such information or would have to ask the wearer of such a textile article or fashion design article for such information. On the other hand, if the wearer wants to brag about the cost of the textile article or fashion design article, he or she would have to volunteer the information, perhaps doing so in a snobby fashion.
To solve this problem it has caused, it has been suggested to employ the textile model insignia of the present invention, whose construction is characterized by having such a textile model insignia, other than the designer's brand and/or logo, adapted to be attached and bonded, with the use of a label or directly without the use of a label, onto any and all external surface area or areas of textile articles and other fashion design articles.
This new textile model insignia of the present invention has the advantages of providing a display of the value, financial and/or status, or some form of classifications, or styles, or variations, or any and all combinations thereof, for such a textile article or fashion design article. The textile model insignia of the present invention also creates a proud feeling in the textile article or fashion design article chosen by the user of such an article. This textile model insignia of the present invention can be used by one designer with a plurality of styles, which are within a certain price range or with various designers with many pluralities of styles, which are within a certain price range. All textile model insignias will be properly controlled by using a highly recognized identification to distinguish among various price ranges and among various designers. Each price range will be designated with a particular textile model insignia. A different version of textile model insignia may be assigned to each and every designer to differentiate one designer from another.
The textile model insignia according to the present invention has the advantages that were described above, plus others that can be readily observed from the detailed discussion of preparing the aforementioned textile model insignia.
