Tie holder. Patented in the German Empire on February 4, 1923.

The invention relates to a tie holder, consisting of an opening bearing fitting and one at one end with a slot and at the other end locking members provided with a handle. What is new is that the one arranged in the locking member Slot is wider at one end than at the other end and that the locking member is articulated is connected to the fitting in such a way that the handle protrudes under the fitting, when the wide end of the slot coincides with the opening in the fitting and is invisible in the position of use. This has the advantage of that the tie holder is attached immediately and without any movement of the tie Collar button can be attached that is easy to use and in the handle Locking position of the locking member is also invisible when a bow tie in high position above the collar button, and finally that the handle lies at the angle between the user's chest and neck so that it is in theirs Locked position is secured.

The drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention. Fig.r is a rear view of the locking member. Figure 2 illustrates this on the back of a Fitting attached locking member in its open position and ready to use for attachment on the collar button, and Fig. 3 shows in

Claims (1)

dashed lines a front view of the locking member in its locking position at the rear of the fitting. The locking member ι can be formed from wire. However, it is preferably made of one Piece of sheet metal stamped. The bottom edge 5 of the handle 4 is advantageous bent upwards and roughened at the end to provide a gripping surface for the finger to open the locking member to create. The keyhole-like slot 2 has an extension, large enough to allow the head of an ordinary collar button to pass through. The slot is closed at its end. The narrow part of the slot must be be wide enough to accommodate the leg of the collar button. The figure of the upper part of the locking member is unimportant, it just has to be as light as possible of the material. The lower edge is when the locking member is in the position of use according to Fig. 3, above the horizontal line of the lower edge of the collar, such that the end of the Part 5 cuts off with the lower edge of the collar when the narrow end of the keyhole-like slot is in his highest position. The handle of the locking member then tends to move downwards to protrude under the fitting as soon as the narrow end of the slot reaches the leg of the collar button. The way in which the locking member is fastened is shown in Fig. 2, for what purpose a Form piece 6 is illustrated. The locking member is by a pivot pin 3 on this Fitting attached in such a way that the buttonhole 7 in the fitting and the wide end of the Slot correspond with each other when handled vertically. For the linkage a pin, a rivet or a flanged tubular rivet can be used. The locking member is arranged so that it make a quarter turn around its axis in the direction of the arrows can. Simple stops 9 and 10 are used to limit this movement (Fig. 2), of which 9 forms an approach on the locking member, which approach with the pin 10 in contact can kick. The lower pin 10 also serves as a stop for the arm 4 in reverse position. However, these attacks can be completely dispensed with if that Locking member placed between two layers of material: is, because then the bent edge or the j Approach 5 is in a position against the lower edge of the rear, not shown position of the shaped piece and in the other position again comes into contact with the lower edge and thus the movement in every row limited. The mode of operation is as follows: The handle 4 is, as can be seen from Fig. 2, brought into the vertical position so that the wide end of the slot coincides with the buttonhole 7. The collar button is then brought forward by finger pressure on its back and the holder is placed directly on the collar button. Then the handle is first moved upwards into a horizontal position, as indicated by the dashed arrows. The locking member is then in the position shown in Fig. 3. This movement pushes the narrower end of the slot over the leg of the collar button and is of course in this blocking position by the Weight of the tie holder recorded, which strives to this narrow end of the To keep the slot in its highest position. The handle then also serves to control the device to get in the blocked position. As the angle between the chest and the neck of the user is usually the handle prevents from taking any position below the horizontal because during the installation there is no upward, downward or sideways movement of the tie holder, the free space remains 8 constant, and in the case of using a bow tie this can be correct be held at the top of the collar. This arrangement also allows the use of a soft buttonhole at 7. The locking member can also be operated when it cannot be seen. Sponsorship τ claim: Tie holder, consisting of a shaped piece bearing an opening and a locking member provided with a slot at one end and a handle at the other end, characterized in that that the slot (2) arranged in the locking member (1) is wider at one end is hinged to the fitting (6) than at the other end and the locking member is, such that the handle (4) protrudes under the fitting when the wide end of the slot with the Opening (7) in the fitting is in accordance and invisible in the position of use is.
