Sanchez and Oney, however, do not provide a means of switching between one or more messages and also require that said flap remain intact when displaying a hidden message.
- Likewise, Ms. Wilmers (U.S. Pat. No. 5,379,461) discloses a flap bearing a first indicia on said flap and a second indicia under said flap. Again, Ms. Wilmers discloses a flap (having the same shortcomings as Mr. Sanchez and Mr. Oney). Wilmers does not accommodate an alterable panel as disclosed infra.
- None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singularly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant disclosure as claimed. Accordingly, an improved panel with alterable message for garments would be advantageous.
- Two panel systems and a method of using a panel system are disclosed.
- A panel system is disclosed. Said panel system comprising a panel, an attaching means, a first message and a second message. Said panel comprises a first side and a second side. Said attaching means is capable of holding and releasing said panel to a garment. Said first message attaches to said first side of said panel. Said second message attaches to said second side of said panel.
- A method of using a panel system is disclosed. Said method of using a panel system comprising: releasably holding a panel having a first side and a second side to a garment in a first position and a second position with an attaching means. Said releasably holding said panel to said garment in said first position comprises: orienting said second side of said panel toward said garment by said attaching means, attaching said panel to said panel, and displaying said first side of said panel. Said releasably holding said panel to said garment in said second position comprises: orienting said first side of said panel toward said garment by said attaching means and displaying said second side of said panel. Said first side of said panel comprises a first message. Said second side of said panel comprises a second message.
- Finally, a panel system is disclosed. Said panel system comprising a panel, an attaching means, a first message, and a second message. Said panel having a first side and a second side. Said attaching means capable of releasably holding said panel to a garment in a first position and a second position. Said first message on said first side of said panel. Said second message on said second side of said panel. Said releasably holding said panel to said garment in said first position comprises: orienting said second side of said panel toward said garment by said attaching means, attaching said panel to said panel, and displaying said first side of said panel with said first message. Said releasably holding said panel to said garment in said second position comprises: orienting said first side of said panel toward said garment by said attaching means and displaying said second side of said panel with said second message. Said one or more messages comprise one or more emotional states of a user of said panel system.
