1'0 allwhom itjeay'concemi Be it known that I, WILMER F. LARSON, a

citizen of the United -States, res iding at lar reference characters designate oorre- I sponding parts throughout the several views,

. the usual point El and consists of a length Grand Rapids, in the county' of Woodand State of Wisconsin,- have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scarf- Pins; and I do hereby declare the follow? of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This'invention relates ,to scarf pins, and it more particularly relates to an improved locking means in the formation of the pin.

, 'Anobject of the invention is to provide a scarf pin of this character which is practically proof against thieves and pick-pockets, when in use. a v f p A further object of the invention is to provide a pin of this character which is .not easily lost.- a A still further object is to provide a in of this character which is so simple 0 construction and operation as to render it economical and convenient, as well as thoroughl efficient.

Other 0 jects and advantages, may be re-- cited hereinafter and in the claim.

In the accompanying drawm s which form a part of this application, F1 e 1 is a s'ideiview of my improved scar pin, as

applied to a scarf or neck-tie, the latter be elevatiomview of the pin.

Referring to the drawings, in which simia tie or scarf of ordinary construction is designated by the numeral 5. The set 6 and the plate or head 7 of the pin form no partof my invention and will not be de-.

scribed in'detail. The pin is provided with of wire comprisin a lower straight shank 9 and upper straig it shanks 10 and 11, the" former hemp in 'alinement with the shank 'atter being parallel with the.

9 and the shank 10, an intermediate obliqueclement 12 connecting the portions 9 and 11, and a semi-circular portion 13 connecting the p0rtions 10 and 11. A stem 14 connects the .plate or head Twith the portion 10, said stem being perpendicular to the plate or head? and portion 11. The portions 10,

extends abovethe stem 14.

- Inapplying this improved pin to the tie, scarf or thelike, it is preferable,.though not essential, to start the in through the tie,

at the point 15 thereo in a horizontal direct on, or in a direction at right angles to the tie or the like; and the pin-is thereafter passed into or through the tie at one or more points 16. After the pin has reached its lowermost position, in which the loop 13 rests in the aperture 15, the portion 10 is passed upward through the aperture 151mtil he portion '14 is reached, whereupon said portion 14 is then caused to enter the aperture 15, by a slight pressure of the wearers fingerupon the'portions 6 and,7, or by a slight downward pull on the tie, which being 11 and'form an upstanding loop which Patented Dec 10, 1912.

thus stret hed and straightened above and below the aperture, coacts with the portion 10 for causing the portion 1; to enter the aperture 15.

, So lon as the tie remains straight, as. shown, a jacent to the aperture15, it is impossible for the pin to be disengaged from the aperture'15, and it can only be disen' gaged'by pressing the portion immediately below the aperture 15-int o the space 17, be-

tween the portion 11 and the tie, then pull the aperture 15 engages the portion 13, and ortioxis adjacent to the aperture 15 out of alinement, whereupon the pin may be pulled upward and disengaged from the tie.

From the foregoing'it will be seen, that.

in order to remove the pin from the tie, the

1 ing the plate or head 7 downward, until 1 latter must be successively bent into a oOmv pound curve, straightened, and bent into another compound curve which is opposite from the first said compound curve. It will also be seen that it is quite impossibe for a pick-pocket or thief to snatch a pin of this const1uc%:= .=ii, without cutting or tearing the tie, or without devoting sullicient time, in removing the pin, to attract attention to his efforts.

It is obvious thatl have provided a de-' vice which is fully capable of attaining the objects 'ieretofore set forth, and in a thproughly practical and efficient manner.

I do not limit my invention to the exact details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as described and illus- 1 trated, but my invention may only be limv head with said. third shank in perpendicular *relation to-th'e latter and lying in theme ited by a reasonable interpretation of the following claim. 4

I claim In a scarf pin, a head, a pin member comprising a lower pointed shank. and an u penshank arranged on substantially 'jpara lel -li'nes and connected by an obliqueinten mediate-portion, said upper shank being connected' with a. third shank substantially parallel thereto, and a stem connecting the plane therewith and with the other said.

shanks andadapted to engage a scarf or 15 the like, said pointed shank'and said third Ishank substantially in' alinement and defining a spaeetherebetween, substantially as shown and for-the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof 'I have signed my 20 name to this specification in the fpresence'of two subscribing witnesses. I k
