Abstract
Presettable Zip-open Necktie With Zipper Restraining Means.
ABSTRACT
A novel preset necktie comprises an outer tie, and inner tie, a zipper, a zipper slider of unique configuration, and a support body.
The outer and the inner ties are both separate individual bodies with the upper portion of the inner tie being connected to form a loop and a zipper being disposed to the inner side of the lower portion thereof to form into the tie loop. With the inner tie having been threaded through the support body and the pull tab of the specially designed slider secured to the inner side of said slider, the size of the tie loop can be adjusted by pushing or pulling said support body. A
pressing spring plate is provided on the inner side of the slider so as to keep the shape of the tie loop fixed. The upper portion of the outer tie is secured to the support body by means of a rivet and preset into a requ;ar knot such that the user does not have to set the knot each time when wearing the necktie.

Description
38S'k~3 Presettable Zip-OpQn Necktie With Zipper Restraining Mean~.
BackRround of the Inven_ion In zipper-preset neckties, the size of the tie loop is usually adjusted by means of a zipper. Since the pull tab of the zipper slider is secured to the inner side of a support body, it can not be ~urned over as in the case of using the zipper in a conventional manner such that the spine-shaped stopyer pin provided on the inner side of the pull tab of a conventional zipper has to be removed (zippers of larger sizes are provided with stopping means on the suspended tabs) or the slider can not be slid. With these conventional types of preset neckties, however, there is the disadvanta~e that tile tie loop occasionally tends to beco;ne loose by itself, thus making them less desirable.
Summar~ of the Invention The design of the preset necktie according to the present invention is directed to the above mentioned disadvantageD The zipper slider according to the present invention is designed not to have the spine-shayed stopper pin. Instead, on the inner side of the slider there is provided a pressing spring plate which gives a dragging force to prevent the slider from sliding away such that after the tie knot has been pushed up, the knot will not become loose under the influence of external force resulted from the swinging movements of the wearer's neck, thereby holding the knot at a fixed position.
Brief Description of the Drawin~s Thé presen~ invention will now be described in grea~er detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

~ ig. 2 is a perspective view showing the backside of the specially designed zipper slider, Fig. 3 is a rear elevation view of the zipper slider used with the necktie according to the present invention, Fi~. 4 is a right elevation view of the zipper slider, Fig. 5 is a cross section view of the zipper slider taken along line ~A' of Fig. 3, Fig. 6 shows the inner tie of the present invention being threaded into the support body, Fig. 7 is a plan view of the outer tie of the present invention, and Fig. ~ shows the necktie as colllpleted by having the outer tie securely connected to the support body to be tied into a knot in the direction as shown by the arrow in phantom line in Fig. 6.
Detailed Description of the Invention Referring to the drawings, Fig. 1 shows the structure of the inner tie (1) and the tie loop (2), ~he upper portion of the inner tie (1) being connected into the shape of a ring to become the tie loop and the lower half of the tie loop (2) being provided with a zipper (3) such that the size of the tie loop (2) can be adjusted by ?ulling a zipper slider (4).
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the backside of the specially desi~ned zipper slider (4) of which the structure is characterized in that two small protruded tabs (44a, 44b~ are provided on the backside thereof with a pressing spring plate (43) fit~ed therebetween to replace the stopper pin used with conventional zippers; the lower end of said spring plate is bent inwardly with the tip thereof being adapted to press against the zipper teeth, allowing to increase the draggirlg force during slidin~ the zipper; and in that the dragging force is sufficient to prevent the zipper fro~ over sliding without interfering with the up or down adjustment of the knot made by hands.

Fig. 5 is a cross section view of the zipper slider taken along line AA' of Fig. 3. It can be seen that the inwardly bent tip of the lower end~ of,~he pressing sprillg plate (~3) is pointed back so that only ~ ~ ~ction is imposed on the ~ip~er teeth (6) to merely result in a draggin~ force a~ainst the sliding of the zipper. With the ylate thus confi~ured, it will never hook at the zipper to influence the normal sliding movement or cause damage to the zipper teeth.
Fi8. 6 shows that the inner tie (1) is threaded into the support body t5) which has a hollow interior for receiving the inner tie (1) to slide uy and down therein. The support body (5) which is approximately in the shape as shown in Fig. 6 enables the outer tie (~) to be wrapped therearound into a tie knot (9) of a shape like what it ought to be (see Fig. 8). In assembling, the inner tie (1) is firstly threaded into the support body (5), then the rivet hole (421) on the pull tab (42) of the slider (4), and the rivet hole (51) on the support body (5) (51 coincides with 421), and the rivet hole (81) on the upper end of the outer tie (8) are fixed together by means of a rivet at a suitable position as shown in Fi8. 6.
Fig. 7 is a plan view of the outer tie ($) which is made of fabrics suitable for neckties and has a rivet hole (~1) thereon.
Fig. 8 shows tha necktie as completed by having the outer tie (8) securely connected to the support body (5) to be tied into a knot (9) in the direction as shown by the arrow in phantom line in Fig. 6.
The necktie knot (9) is preset into shape and fixedly set by ha-/ing been sewn with threads before bein8 shipped from the factory so that it is not necessary to tie a knotl thereby avoiding the inconvenience of tyin~ the knot every time when wearing the necktie.
., ' ,' ' ' ~
: ' ' ~ rom the Eoregoing, the structure and function of the necktie of the present invention should be thoroughly understood. The necktie of the present invention is very convenient to use and handle. In use, one needs only to stretch the tie loop (2) to have it enlarged and to put the enlarged tie loop on around the neck from above. Then the inner tie (1) is pulled to a suitable tightness with one hand while the tie knot (9) is being grasyed with the other hand. After the inner tie is pulled to proper position the tie knot can thus be held in the fixed yosition for a long time because of the pressure provided by the spring plate of the zipper. Even for an active person, there is no danger of having the necktie become loose after a whole day's activities. When taking it off; one needs only to have the tie knot (9) hooked with a finger and to pull it down. Then the necktie can be removed from the head, thus making the necktie of the present inventi~n very convenient to use, ~ .
