Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an accessory for fixing to a tie, which mainly consists of a holding member which at least partially surrounds the tie.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION So-called tie holders or tie needles are known in the art. The tie holder is mainly composed of a tightening member adapted to be fixed to a shirt of a person who tightens the tie and a holding member which at least partially surrounds the tie. In conventional jewelry, the retaining member consists of, for example, a chain that keeps the tie playful and wraps around the tie when the person squeezing the tie bends forward. It is supposed to support. In this case, the tie is held on the shirt in the range from the bottom to the center.

A tie pin made of a metal body bent in a U shape is also known. This tie pin
Suitable for sandwiching a shirt and tie and stopping.

Furthermore, the so-called neckerchief ring is also known. This neckerchief ring is intended to bring together the neckerchiefs that wrap around the neck so that the neckerchiefs do not have to be tied or looped.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is an accessory for fixing to a tie, as described at the beginning,
It is an object of the present invention to provide such things that the tie can be kept under the knot of the tie in a firm shape without any folds.

[0006]

According to the jewelery of the present invention, which has solved this problem, the holding member has a U-shaped or sickle-shaped space surrounding the tie directly below the knot of the tightened tie. The space is bounded by an outer member that surrounds or winds the tie and an inner counter member that extends substantially parallel to the outer member and supports the tie in a convex manner from the inside.

[0007]

According to the invention, a retaining member surrounds the tie directly below the knot of the squeezed tie, U.
It has a character-shaped or sickle-shaped space. Due to this U-shaped or sickle-shaped space, the two ends of the tie are convex, the end of the wider tie part coming to the front and the end of the narrower tie part coming to the rear or lower. It is designed to be curved outward. To that end, a counter member is provided inside the outer member that surrounds or is wrapped around the tie, the counter member extending substantially parallel to the outer member and projecting the tie from the inside. It is supposed to support.

[0008] Such a convexly supported counter member is not present in conventional tie holders or tie pins and provides a tie-free, firm tie even when the knot is tied very narrow. Suitable for maintaining the desired shape. After tying the tie, the tie can be manually inserted into the space between the outer member and the counter member of the accessory or the accessory can be attached just below the knot of the tie. With just a few tweaks to the trinket, the tie can be kept in its perfect shape, curved forward over its entire width.

The counter member and the outer member are preferably formed by two strips of metal. This 2
One strip-shaped member may be integrally formed to provide a hairpin-shaped curved portion, and the two members (the counter member and the outer member) may be moved to each other in the curved portion. A locking connection may be provided at the free end of these members so that the free end of the locking connection and the outer member are fixed to each other. However, the two members may be hingedly connected to each other on one side and the snap engagement portion may be provided on the other side.

Since the ties have different thicknesses and widths, the locking connection can be provided with a number of locking members so that the outer member and the counter member can be fixed to each other at different distances. This is advantageous. This allows different ties to be pinched and fixed without forming folds.

It is advantageous if the outer member and the counter member are constructed elastically. The metallic strip-shaped element can be constructed flexurally in a simple manner. The degree of elasticity is then utilized in the closed position to obtain a predetermined tolerance for different strength tie materials. It is also advantageous that the outer member and the counter member can be fixed with different curvature radii. That is, this allows the tie inserted into the accessory to be convexly curved to different sizes. The degree of curvature of the tie can be arbitrarily selected by the person who tightens the tie.

If the outer member and the inner counter member are provided with holes aligned with one another in the closed position of the accessory within its outer U-shaped leg area, the retaining needle is through the material of the tie or behind the tie. It can be penetrated through the side. The holding needle is used to fix the accessory, but it is also possible to fix the accessory with different bending rates via a suitable holding needle.

If the two U-shaped ends of the counterpiece are connected to each other by a transverse web, the transverse web can be provided with different types of fastening elements. These tightening members may be attached to the tie user's shirt or to the shirt buttons. The fixing of the accessory is not done directly by the tie, but through the shirt.

Claims 15 to 23 describe particularly advantageous features for the function of the tie-forming part to maintain the shape of the tie. At least 18 sickle-shaped spaces
It is particularly advantageous to have a degree of curvature of 0 °, preferably up to 270 °. This is because the portion of the tie that hangs directly downward from the tie knot can be molded particularly well.

According to the constituent features of claim 16,
With the tie former applied to the tie, the counter member is no longer visible. Since the tie molding is covered by the outer member, the transition or curve between the inner counter member and the outer member is not visible outside.

According to the features of claim 17, the jewelry can be adapted particularly easily to neckties of different thicknesses and widths.

According to the eighteenth and nineteenth aspects, the accessory for keeping the shape of the necktie can be easily inserted into the necktie at a position just below the knot of the necktie.

According to claim 20, in the region of the free end of the outer member, a visually advantageous "ridge" and thus a visual extension of the outer member is obtained. The extension extends substantially upwards to transition into a knot of a tied tie.

By means of the circular spring curve according to claim 22, a particularly strong and permanently effective spring-elastic action of the counter member is obtained. A support member that acts on the circular spring curved portion from the outside transmits a support force that reduces the load on the connection point against breakage.

[0020]

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a tie 1 with an accessory 3 according to the invention just below a knot 2.
