Abstract

ABSTRACT

The invention concerns a piece of jewellery for fastening to a tie, consisting essentially of a holding element which surrounds the tie at least partially, whereby the holding element has a U-shaped or crescent-shaped recess holding the tie (1) immediately below the tied tie knot (2), which is restricted by an outer part (6), surrounding or clasping the tie (1) and an inner counter part (9), extending more or less parallel to the outer part (6) and convexly supporting the tie (1) from the inside.

Description

20955~0 The invention concerns a piece of jewellery for fastening to a tie, having the features of the preamble of claim 1.

So-called tie holders or tie pins are known as prior art. Tie holders essent;ally consist of a clamping element which is fastened to the shirt of the person wearing the~tie, as well as a holding element surrounding the tie at least partiall~y. The holding element in jewellery pieces of the prior art is e.g. made like a small chain which surrounds the tie with play and holds it to the shlrt when the person wearing the tie bends forward. The tie is thereby fastened to the shirt in its lower/middle area.

In addition, tie clips~are known~which essentially consist of a U-shaped metal body, which is suitable for surrounding the shirt and tie so as to clamp them together.

So-called scarf rings are known as additional prior art, these are usedto hold scarves together which are wrapped about the neck, as a result of which it is not necessary to tie the scarf into a knot or into a bow.

The object of the~invention is to make a piece of jewellery for fastening to a tie with the features of the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that a secure and wrinkle-free shaping of the tie is obtained below the knot.

This object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1, advantageous embodiments of the invention are found in the subclaims 2 - 24.

.-.,.

2~95~50 The main point of the invention is to provide the holding element with a shaped recess which holds the tie immediately below the tied tie knot and is shaped like a U or a crescent. As a result of this U or crescent-shaped recess, both ends of the tie, namely the wider front end and the narrower rear or lower ends of the tie are formed convexly ou~ward, that, to accomplish this, an inner counter part is provided inside the outer part surrounding or clasping the tie, said counter part being more or less parallel to the outer part and supporting the tie convexly from the inside.

There is no prototype for a convexly supporting counter part of this type in tie holders or tie clips and it is suitable for securing a wrinkle-free shaping of the tie even when the knot is tied very tightly.
After having been tied, the tie can be pulled into the shaped recess by hand or the piece of jewellery can be attached directly below the tie knot. With a few movements of the hand, the tie has a perfect fit curved forward over its width.

Preferably, the counter part and the outer part are formed by two metalstrip elements. The strip elements can be made either in one piece, in this case, a hairpin-type curve is provided on one side into which the two parts merge. A locking closure can be provided on its free ends with which the free ends of the counter part and the outer part are fastened to one another. However, it is also possible to connect the two parts to one another on one side with a hinge and to provide a spring catch at the other end.

Since ties have various thicknesses and widths, it is advantageous if the locking closure is made with several notches so that the outer part and the counter part can be fastened to one another at variably spaced-positions. As a result of this, ties of all kinds can actually be held ~ . .. . . . .. . ... . . .

and fixed without wrinkles.

It is especially advantageous if the outer part and the counter part are made so as to be flexible. Metal strip e'lements can easily be made so as to be flexible, the elasticity can be used to attain certain ' tolerances for tie materials of different thicknesses inside a closed position. It can also be advantageous to be able to fasten the outer part and the counter~part with different bending radii, that is, more or less large convex curvatures~ can then bè ob~tained for the tie inserted into the piece of jewellery. The tie wearer can then select the desired tie curvature.

In the event that both the outer part and the inner counter part are provided with boreholes in the area of their outer U-sidesj said boreholes being in alignment when the piece of jewellery is closed, then a holding pin can be passed through~the material of the tie or behind the tie. The holding-pin is advantageous, on the one hand, to fasten the piece of jewellery,;on the other hand, varying bending radii of the jewellery piece can be set with a suitable holding pin.
'`
If the two U-ends of the counter part are connected with a crossbar, then clamping elements of different types can be provided on the crossbar which can be connected with the shirt of the tie wearer or with a shirt button. The piece of jewellery is then'not fastened directly via the tie, but via the shirt.

Claims 15 - 23 concern an especially advanta~eous embodiment of the tieshàper. Thus, it is particularly advantageous for the fit and shaping function of the tie shaper if the;crescent-shaped recess has a curvature of at least 180, in particular, ~however', a curvatùre of up to 770, since the part of the tie coming out directly from the tie knot is then :. . : . . ~ . ,, - : : , ~ -: -. : .
~,: : ...

2~95~50 shaped especially well.

With the features of claim 16, it is assured that the counter part is no longer visible in a tie shaper attached to the tie. The view of the tie shaper is dominated by the outer part, the curvature or transition between the inner counter part and the outer part is not visible.

The piece of jewellery can be adapted particularly easily to ties of various thlcknesses and wldths by the features noted in claim 17.

Claims 18 and 19 enable àn especially simple "threading" of the tie-shaping Jewellery piece in the~tie area immediately below the knot.

A visually advantageous "upward adjustment" and thus visual extension of the outer part in the area of the free ends, which more or less go upward into the tied tie knot, is attained by claim 20.

An especially robust and lasting effective flexibility of the counter part is attained by the circular spring curvature of claim 22. A
supporting force, which reduces the chance~of the connecting point breaking, is obtained by a support element which acts on the circular curvature from the outside.

The invention is described in greater detail with reference to embodiments in the drawings, showing:

Reference is first of all made to Fig. 1:

A tie 1 is shown there which is provided with a piece of jewellery 3 according to the invention immediately below the tie knot 2. The upper edge 4 of the piece of jewellery 3 directly adjoins the lower edge 5 of the tied tie knot, so that the piece of jewellery is also able to display an ornamental effect at the best visible location on the tie, in contrast to other tie clips and in addition to its technical holding and smoothing effect.
.
As can be clearly seen, an outer part 6 surrounds the tie almost ,, , - . . . . .. ~ .. , .. . ,.. ,~, . . .. .

:` 2~3~

horizontally like a ring and holds both ends 7, 8 of the tie firmly together and in shape in the area immediately bordering on the tie knot 2. In particular, long wrinkles coming out of the knot are prevented by the piece of jewellery 3 in the front end 7 of the tie 1. For this reason, the piece of jewellery 3 has a counter part 9 behind the outer part 5, said counter part 9 extending almost parallel with a smaller radius to the outer part 6 and convexly supporting the tie 1 from the inside. In Figs. 2 - 4 and 6 - 7, both the counter part 9 and the outer part 6 are formed by metal strip elements. However, it is also within the scope of the invention to construct the outer part 6 e.g. like a mother-of-pearl or plastic element or, for example, like a decorative chain, as shown in Fig. 5.

In Figs. 2 and 4 - 7, the two U-ends of parts 6 and ~ run toward one another on the outside, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the two parts 6 and 9 are made in one piece and, in addition, provided with a hairpin-type curvature lO on the one side. In Figs. 2, 4, 6 and 7, the parts 6 and 9 are joined to one another by hinges 11, on the opposite side in the area of their free ends, they are provided with a locking closure 12 which - as indicated in Fig. 2 - should have a plurality of locking elements 13, so that it is possible for the outer part 6 to interlock with the counter part 9 at variably spaced positions.

Preferably, the outer part 6 and the counter part 9 are made flexible.
As a result of this, it is possible that both the outer part 6 and the counter part 9 can be fastened with different bending radii. A
fastening with different bending radii can take place in various ways.
One possibility is shown in Fig. 4. The outer part 6 and the counter part 9 are there provided with boreholes 14 in the area of their outer U-sides which are in alignment with one another when the piece of jewellery 3 is in the closed position and into which a holding pin 15 - .:: .. .. ... , :.:i ..

:: : ~, , ; .. ,. .. :

2~95~0 with a spherical clamping element 16 can be inserted. If the spherical elemen~ 16 is pushed tightly onto the holding pin 15 in direction of arrow 17, then the bending radius of the entire piece of jewellery is reduced, which can be used to shape the tie.
.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, i-t can be seen~particularly clearlythat the free ends 18 of the two parts 6 and 9 are provided with rounded parts 19 in order to protect delicate ties such as, for example, silk ties from being damaged.

In the embodiments shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the U-ends of the counter part 9 are connected to one another with a crossbar 20 on which a clamping element 21, 22 is located. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, the clamping element~is a spring c1ip 24, fastened by means of a further hinge 23 on the one side and prestressed in direction of arrow 25, i.e.
in locking position.; This spring clip 24~can be pushed under the button row of the shirt when putting the tie on and thus fasten the piece of jewellery 3 in an especially secure manner.

A similar fastening of the piece of jewellery 3 is attained with the clamping element 22 of Fig. 7. The clamping element 22 is there formed by a U-shaped section 26 which is sized in such a way that it can grip behind a shirt button and thus ensure that the piece of jewellery 3 is fastened to the shirt of~the wearer.
'. ~.
In the embodiments shown in Figures 8 and 9, the counter part is formedby two partial counter parts 9a and 9b which, in the case of the embodiment of Figure A, leave a certain space free between their inner ends 30 and, in the case of the embodiment of Figure B, partially overlap with their inner~end sections 31. Sections 9a9 9b of counter part 9 can be fastened to the outer part 6 by~hinges 32 at their outer .

209a~0 ends. However, it is also possible to make all parts 6, 9a, 9b in one piece and/or to make them so flexible that the tie can be inserted without difficulty into the crescent-shaped recess, which results between the outer part 6 and sections 9a and 9b.

Reference is made to Figures 10 and 11 in the following. First, it canbe seen in Fig. 10 that the crescent-shaped recess which extends between the outer part 6 and the counter part 9 should have a curvature of more than 180.

In addition, it can be seen that the counter part 9 is fastened with its fixed end, bent into the shape of a U, inside the U-shaped outer part 6 in such a way that the end 40 of thP outer part 6 located at their mutual point of connecti~on protrudes beyond the U-shaped curvature 41.

The counter part 9 is made like a spring and has a nominal bending point 42 in the area of its ~ixed end. The free end 43 of the counter part 9 protrudes beyond the free end 44 in such a way and is curved toward the inside of the jewellery piece such that a funnel-shaped inlet opening 45 is formed between the free end 43 of the counter part 9 and the adjacent free end 44 of the outer part 6, said inlet opening 45 passing over into the shaped recess between the outer part 6 and the counter part 9 and continuing in it.
:
It can, moreover, be seen in Fig. ~1 that the rear edge 46, 47 of the free ends 40, 44 of the outer part 6 are inclined in such a way that the upper edge 4 of the outer part 6 is longer than its lower edge 48.

The U-shaped curvature 41 of the counter part 9, with which it is fastened in the outer part 6, has a circular spring curvature 49. A
support element 50~, which acts in a supporting manner on the circular 2~9~

g ~

curvature 49 from the outside, is located on the inside of the free end 40 of the outer part 6 in the area of the circular curvature 49.
