Luminescent Hunter Safety Apparel

Abstract

A method of making hunter safety apparel in highly visible luminescent colours in spectrums which are visible to the human eye, but are not visible to ungulates. The hunter safety apparel is coated wholly or partially with a photo luminescent ink over the regular colour pattern of the apparel. The photo luminescent ink is a high visibility colour which is visible to the human eye in regular light conditions, and in low or zero light. The photo luminescent ink is visible in light spectrums which are detectable by the human eye and not visible in light spectrums detectable by ungulates. Luminescent ink or dye is applied in patterns which are not natural in shape, but clearly artificial in colour or placement so that to the human eye, it is obviously an artificial and not natural appearing object.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A hunting garment comprising:
 a garment substrate, including a fabric material dyed in a pattern and colours which blend into the natural environment;   a layer of photo luminescent ink or dye overlaying all or part of the hunting garment in a pattern or shape which is clearly artificial, which is in a colour state which emits light in a spectrum of wavelengths which is above the wavelengths visible to a typical ungulate, but a wavelength still typically visible to humans.   
     
     
         2 . The hunting garment of  claim 1  for the photo luminescent ink which is a colour which has a spectrum of wavelengths in excess of 605 nanometers and less than 670 nanometers. 
     
     
         3 . An object comprising:
 a material;   a layer of photo luminescent ink or dye overlaying all or part of the object in a pattern or shape which is clearly artificial, which is in a colour state which emits light in a spectrum of wavelengths which is above a wavelength visible to atypical ungulate, but in a wavelength still visible to the human eye.
