A tag, label or ticket simulating cork in appearance and method of manufacturing the tag for use in brand identification or embellishment on garments, apparel items and accessories. The invention utilizes Jacquard weaving and printing in order to create patterns which have the appearance of natural cork. The apparel tag, ticket or label can then be readily attached to the wearable article or apparel item by weaving, sewing, heat transfer, bonding or other suitable means.

A method of manufacturing a flexible rod requires a flexible rod, a first endcap, a second endcap, a first tab, a second tab, and a folded binding. The method preferably includes a sheet. The method begins by terminally fixing both the first endcap and the second endcap onto the flexible rod. The first tab is affixed to the first endcap and a first exposed section of the flexible rod. The second tab is affixed to the second endcap and a second exposed section of the flexible rod. The flexible rod is positioned within the folded binding and along a middle fold-line of the folded binding. The first tab and the second tab are oriented away from the middle fold of the folded binding. A first seam is sewn through the folded binding along the flexible rod. A second seam is sewn through the sheet and the folded binding.

This invention is intended to strengthen play transmission between players and coaches before, and during plays. The wristband is an elastic, or adjustable wristband with a clear plastic window and LED strips or LED matrix that lights the Light Emitting Diode (LED) next to a desired play. The wristband is wirelessly linked to either a radio frequency panel, bluetooth device, or infrared controller. The wristband LED's are wired to a microcontroller, Bluetooth controller (or RF transceiver, or Infrared controller), and a battery power source. The LED's are displayed through the clear plastic window and the plays are slid over the top of the LED's. The micro controller, battery and wireless controller are contained in a velcro-enclosed, low-profile enclosure opposite the clear plastic window.

A seat accessory (10) comprises an elongate, generally planar member which is deformable in order to secure the ends to the opposite edges of a seat back. The elongate, generally planar member comprises two generally planar deformable elongate portions (16a, 16b) which are separably joined to one other. At least one of the portions (16a, 16b), when separated, comprises a wearable item which is deformable to wrap around a body portion of a wearer.

The interchangeable patch baseball cap is a baseball hat that gives the wearer the ability to swap out the front patch for another patch. Each patch can depict a company or sport logo, a slogan, or some other symbol of the like. Each patch is required to have a loop backing to connect to the baseball cap by hook-and-loop. The baseball cap is designed to be comfortable and utilitarian. The material of the cap body is breathable and somewhat stretchable to accommodate different shapes and sizes of heads. The bill of the hat is stiff to block the sun from the wearer's eyes.

A lighting apparatus includes a first light source, a second light source, a first light guide plate, a second light guide plate and a driver. The first light source emits a first light. The second light source emits a second light. The first light guide plate receives the first light from a first lateral wall and guides the first light to escape via a first surface of the first light guide plate. The second light guide plate receives the second light and guides the second light to escape via a second surface of the second light guide plate. The second surface has an image pattern. The image pattern is rendered by placing multiple first light escaping dots on the second surface. The multiple first light escaping dots are divided into multiple sets for rendering multiple visual objects by arranging area intensities of the first light escaping dots.
