Description

  The present invention relates to a combination for displaying ornaments that use a tie knot as a support or holder for stones, medallions, logos or other items displayed on the tie.

  Ornaments such as jewelry, insignia, small ornaments, etc. may be displayed on the tie. The most common way to do this is to attach ornaments to the tie clasp used to secure the tie to the front of the user's shirt, or pin the tied tie front and back together. For example, attaching an ornament to a tie pin used for fastening. In these cases, the decorative article is usually located about 20 to 30 cm below the knot and is less likely to be noticed than when it is in the immediate vicinity of the knot.

  Approaches for displaying ornaments in the immediate vicinity of the tie knot or at the position of the knot are well known in the field of clothing accessories. Orthotics for this purpose typically surround both the front and back of the tie just below the knot, or in some cases, such as rings or bands that completely replace the knot. Have things. In addition to the accessories for displaying ornaments on the tie, other accessories in the field of ornaments may be relevant. This accessory is used to spread the front of the tie in a desired position relative to the shirt collar or to hold the tie knot (because it was invented based on known / public prior art, the applicant I do not know prior art documents related to the present invention).

  The preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a support, foundation, finding, holder or pedestal for the ornament displayed below the tie knot. The foundation is preferably formed and dimensioned as a stylized triangle or trapezoid so that it fits over the tie knot fold. It is preferably formed of a plate having the surface shape of a tie knot so as not to change the shape of the knot when viewed. A preferred foundation includes two or more legs that extend upwardly from a base adjacent to where ornaments and other objects to be displayed are attached to the foundation.

  These legs preferably extend laterally enough to prevent the base from falling off the knot. The adornment only needs to be attached to the base by one of a plurality of fixing methods, and when it is worn, it comes out or goes down to a noticeable position from under the knot. One feature of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is the ability to display ornaments of any shape, size or material on the surface, front and center of the worn tie, just below the knot. The advantage of using a tie knot to maintain the basics of the design is that the material of the tie, such as the creation of holes caused by the use of conventional tie pins, and the abrasion of the material caused by the use of conventional tie fastening Will not damage.

  Another advantage of the preferred implementation of the present invention is that the support, base or platform is not visible when worn, since it is mounted so as to slide into the outer fold of the tie knot.

  Even though the considerable details of the features and technical advantages mentioned above are used by those skilled in the art and those who want to know how to implement the invention, the foregoing details list all features and advantages. It will be recognized as unintended. Those skilled in the art will recognize that both the ideas disclosed herein and specific embodiments can be readily used as a basis for designing other combinations to achieve the same objectives as the five inventions.

  A preferred tie ornament holder or base 10 comprises at least two legs 12 extending from the base 14 or other common part and branching away from the base, which are the upper end 21b of the holder 10 wider than the base. Is supposed to form.

  The ornament may be attached to a suitable arm 18 or other link that extends from the base 14 in the opposite direction of the leg 12.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the base 10 fits in a generally vertical position to the knot 20 of the adjacent tie 22 with the base 14 and is preferably surrounded by the bottom of the knot 20. As is customary in tie knots, the upper end 21 of the knot 20 is wider than the lower end 23 and the free end of the tie extends downward from the upper end of the knot. A portion of the free end of the tie that is enclosed within the knot is placed after the front portion of the knot, which is shown cut away to show the base or holder 10 in FIG. The holder 10 also has an upper end that is wider than the lower end of the knot and is inserted into it from the top of the knot before the knot is trimmed by the user and set in the normal position near the shirt collar 26. After that, it comes to stay in the knot.

  The preferred embodiment of the holder 10 has a base 14 extending laterally on both sides of its center point, but with a decorative attachment link 18 having a base at the lowest point and attached to the apex of V. It will be appreciated that the holder of the present invention can be formed sufficiently uniformly in a V shape. A preferred holder 10 comprises two legs 12, each of which is curved about an axis that is horizontal when the holder 10 is held in a tie knot 20. This choice of shape helps the holder to keep the front of the knot on a satisfactory convex surface. In one particular preferred embodiment, the base 10 is a die cut from a 1 mm thick titanium alloy plate.

  As described above, the decorative article 16 is attached to the link portion 18 by any of a plurality of fixing methods, and the link portion may have any of a variety of suitable shapes for receiving the decorative article. For example, the foundation is sold to retail jewelers in a configuration with a link having a pair of protrusions at the end remote from the base so that the jeweler can attach appropriate jewels within the protrusion pair as customary. Alternatively, the ornament may be connected to the link by being glued to a suitable backing or mounted in a suitable housing. If the adornment is a medallion rather than a jewel, one may choose to use a chain with a split terminal link and fit the split terminal link into the through-hole in the medallion edge.

In fact, the preferred generally triangular or trapezoidal shape of the holder 10 could be provided by a plate shaped in the proper shape that does not form a bifurcated leg. Furthermore, while the preferred embodiment provides a relatively stiff foundation, the inner surface of the knot is more securely held using a flexible leg formed from a suitable elastic wire to more securely hold the foundation within the knot. Alternatively, one can choose to have the foundation of the present invention ensure that both sides of the foundation are pressurized.

  When the holder of the present invention is attached to the tie, the ornament 16 and a portion of the attachment link 18 are visible, but the rest of the brace is preferably hidden within the tie knot. Although the link portion 18 is shown as a material of a linear solid piece having a length of several millimeters in the drawing, a number of other shapes such as a chain can be used in the present invention by those skilled in the art of jewelry. It can be seen that it is used to add to the features of Furthermore, it will be appreciated that the ornament is connected to the link by any of a number of means known in the jewelry art and is selected as appropriate for any ornament displayed.

In a particular preferred embodiment that fits well with traditional tie knots of the forein hand, half windsor and windsor types, the legs 12 extend upward about 25 mm from the base 14 and have a maximum width far from the base. Surrounds the entire width of about 20 mm in part.
