CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is closely related to and claims benefit from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/574,272 filed on May 25, 2004.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates, in general, to articles of clothing, such as shirts, and other articles and accessories such as neckties, tote bags etc. and, more particularly, the present invention relates to a process for producing such articles of clothing and accessories that have vertically oriented color photographs printed on the clothing and accessories.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] It is a common practice for manufacturers to decorate men's and women's clothing and accessories with printed designs or pictures. The pictures may be transferred from a photograph by means of a direct image transfer or some other process or it may even be hand painted. The pictures may be of a sport's hero, wildlife or any other desirable subject. Shirts, including sweatshirts, and neckties are two very common items that have been used for this type of image.

[0004] However, one drawback to the image transfer from a photograph is that most of the photographs present a figure or a feature that is presented in a horizontal orientation. In most instances this presents a problem, particularly for items such as neckties, in that the horizontal orientation allows only a small portion of the image to transfer. Thus, many photographs of beautiful scenes do not lend themselves to transfer to clothing or accessories.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The present invention provides a process for producing at least one preselected article having at least one preselected scene imprinted thereon. The process comprises the steps of selecting at least one photograph or painting having a desired scene disposed horizontally thereon then turning the photograph or painting substantially 90 degrees. Another step is determining if the resulting vertically disposed image is at least one of attractive and interesting enough to use on the at least one preselected article. Another step is placing an image, having the photograph or painting that was rotated in a previous step and determined to be at least one of attractive and interesting, on a preselected material to be used to produce the at least one preselected article and using the preselected material having the image placed thereon produce such at least one preselected article.

[0006] Another embodiment of the invention provides an article of clothing having at least one preselected horizontally disposed scene in a substantially vertically oriented direction imprinted thereon.

[0007] Yet, another embodiment of the invention provides an accessory having at least one preselected horizontally disposed scene in a substantially vertically oriented direction imprinted thereon.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

[0008] It is, therefore, one of the primary objects of the present invention to provide a process whereby horizontally disposed photographs or paintings are vertically oriented on articles of clothing.

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to have horizontal photographs of golf courses vertically oriented on articles of clothing.

[0010] Yet, another object of the present invention is to have horizontal photographs of golf courses vertically oriented on accessories such as neckties.

[0011] Still, another object of the present invention is to have horizontal photographs of golf courses vertically oriented and transferred on articles of clothing or accessories by any known process.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a variety of horizontally disposed photographs of sports stadiums, landscapes, seascapes, nature's wonders, city skylines, scenic rivers, bridges, sporting events, national parks, and wildlife vertically oriented to provide a panoramic view on articles of clothing or accessories.

[0013] These and various other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent after a full reading of the following detailed description, particularly, when read in conjunction with the attached drawings as described below and the appended claims.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] FIG. 1 is a drawing representing a photograph presented as it would be in its horizontal orientation

[0015] FIG. 2 is a drawing of a necktie showing the photograph shown in FIG. 1 transferred to a necktie in a vertical orientation.

[0016] FIG. 3 is a drawing of a shirt showing the photograph shown in FIG. 1 transferred to a necktie in a vertical orientation.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENTLY PREFERRED AND ALTERNATE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

[0017] Prior to proceeding with the more detailed description of the present invention it should be noted that, for the sake of clarity, identical components which have identical functions have been designated by identical reference numerals throughout the several views illustrated in the drawings.
