Abstract:
A self-illuminating patch to be worn on or in close proximity to a person. The patch has an exterior layer of phosphorescent material that becomes self-illuminating in the dark. The exterior phosphorescent layer has alpha numeric or other graphic indicia printed on it using ultraviolet curable ink. A removable backing layer is adhesively attached to the phosphorescent layer and is removed to expose an adhesive layer on the back of the phosphorescent layer. This allows the patch to be secured onto a person's clothing, backpack, or other item.

Claim (Index 5):
A method of making a self-illuminating patch comprising the steps of:\n selecting a first flexible layer of a phosphorescent material, the first flexible layer having an exterior surface and an interior surface, applying a printed indicium to the exterior surface of the first flexible layer, applying an adhesive to the interior surface of the first flexible layer, covering the adhesive with a removable protective layer, removing the protective layer, and applying the self-illuminating patch to an article by means of the adhesive.
