Fluorescent visual augmentation composition

Claim 1

A METHOD FOR PREPARING COMPOSITE ARTICLES WHICH, WHEN RELEASED IN THE AIR IN A LARGE GROUP, WILL FORM A HIGHLY VISIBLE CLOUD WHICH DESCENDS SLOWLY, SAID METHOD COMPRISING THE STEPS OF: A. PLACING, IN A CONTAINER, A PLURALITY OF INERT DRY CARRIER PARTICLES SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF TALC, EXPANDED MICA, MAGNESIA, SILICA GEL, DIATOMACEOUS EARTH, BAKELITE, EXPANDED VERMICULITE, CALCIUM SILICATE, ALUMINA AND SILICA, SAID PARTICLES HAVING DIAMETERS SUCH THAT THE PARTICLES WILL PASS THROUGH A SCREEN OF FROM 30 TO 300 MESH; B. ADDING A PLURALITY OF DRY DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENT PARTICLES HAVING DIAMETERS IN THE RANGE OF FROM 0.5 TO 2.5 MICRONS TO SAID CONTAINER WHICH CONTAINS SAID CARRIER PARTICLES, SAID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENT PARTICLES BEING ADDED IN THE WEIGHT PERCENTAGE RANGE OF FROM 12.5 WEIGHT PERCENT PIGMENT PER 87.5 WEIGHT PERCENT CARRIER PARTICLES TO 50 WEIGHT PERCENT PIGMENT PER 50 WEIGHT PERCENT CARRIER PARTICLES; AND SAID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENT PARTICLES BEING PREPARED BY A METHOD SELECTED FROM THAT OF COLORING A RESIN IN TH FUSED STATE WITH A RHODAMINE DYE AND THAT OF DYEING A POWDERED RESIN OR RESIN PRECIPITATE IN A DYEBATH WITH A RHODAMINE DYE AND THEN REDUCING THE COLORED OR DYED RESIN TO PARTICLES HAVING DIAMETERS IN THE RANGE OF FROM 0.5 TO 2.5 MICRONS; AND C. MIXING SAID CARRIER PARTICLES AND SAID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENT PARTICLES TOGETHER UNTIL A PLURALITY OF COMPOSITE ARTICLES EACH MADE UP OF AN INNER CARRIER PARTICLE AND A PLURALITY OF OUTER PIGMENT PARTICLES COATIG THE CARRIER PARTICLES AND HELD THERETO BY MEANS FOR ELECTROSTATIC ATTRACTION, FRICTION FORCES, VAN DER WAALS FORCES, GRAVITATIONAL FORCES OR A COMBINATION THEREOF ARE FORMED AND ALL OF THE MATERIAL IN SAID CONTAINER APPEARS VISUALLY TO HAVE TAKEN ON THE COLOR OF SAID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENT PARTICLES.

ADDING A PLURALITY OF DRY DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENT PARTICLES HAVING DIAMETERS IN THE RANGE OF FROM 0.5 TO 2.5 MICRONS TO SAID CONTAINER WHICH CONTAINS SAID CARRIER PARTICLES, SAID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENT PARTICLES BEING ADDED IN THE WEIGHT PERCENTAGE RANGE OF FROM 12.5 WEIGHT PERCENT PIGMENT PER 87.5 WEIGHT PERCENT CARRIER PARTICLES TO 50 WEIGHT PERCENT PIGMENT PER 50 WEIGHT PERCENT CARRIER PARTICLES; AND SAID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENT PARTICLES BEING PREPARED BY A METHOD SELECTED FROM THAT OF COLORING A RESIN IN TH FUSED STATE WITH A RHODAMINE DYE AND THAT OF DYEING A POWDERED RESIN OR RESIN PRECIPITATE IN A DYEBATH WITH A RHODAMINE DYE AND THEN REDUCING THE COLORED OR DYED RESIN TO PARTICLES HAVING DIAMETERS IN THE RANGE OF FROM 0.5 TO 2.5 MICRONS; AND C. MIXING SAID CARRIER PARTICLES AND SAID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENT PARTICLES TOGETHER UNTIL A PLURALITY OF COMPOSITE ARTICLES EACH MADE UP OF AN INNER CARRIER PARTICLE AND A PLURALITY OF OUTER PIGMENT PARTICLES COATIG THE CARRIER PARTICLES AND HELD THERETO BY MEANS FOR ELECTROSTATIC ATTRACTION, FRICTION FORCES, VAN DER WAALS FORCES, GRAVITATIONAL FORCES OR A COMBINATION THEREOF ARE FORMED AND ALL OF THE MATERIAL IN SAID CONTAINER APPEARS VISUALLY TO HAVE TAKEN ON THE COLOR OF SAID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENT PARTICLES.
