A. KOMP, OF NEW YO'R'K, N. Y. y

Letters Patent No. 113,177, dated March 28, 1871. t.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and mak-lng part of the same.

To all whom fit may concern:

Be it known that I, A. KOMP, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Fastenings for the Loops of Neck-tie Frames; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,land exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make-and use the same, reference being had to the accompany-y ing drawing forming part of this specification, in which drawing- Figure l represents a front view of this invention.

Figure 2 is a transverse section of the same.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This `invention consists in the arrangement of a binding-clasp uniting the ends of the loop of a necktie frame, in combination with a retaining-clasp and with the loop and the neck-tie frame, in such a manner that by means of the binding-clasp the Vends of the loop can be firmly and rapidly united, and that, when the loop is united to the neck-.tie frame by means of the retaining-clasp, the binding-clasp forms a stop, preventing the ends of the loop from slipping' ont, and by these means a fastening for the loops of neck-tie frames is obtained which is of superior durability and cheapness.

In the drawing- The letter A designates a neck-tie frame made of pasteboard or any otherI suitable material, in the usual form. l l

To this frame 'is secured the loop B by means ot a fastening, which consists of the binding-clasp a and the retaining-clasp b. ljoth these clasps are by preference taken of that shape generally used for clasping the wires ofy hoop-skirts to their tapes, or any othershaped clasp may be used which is capable of being fed and inserted by proper machinery. i l

The binding-clasp a serves to secure the ends of the loop together, and it also acts as a stop whereby said. loop is prevented from slipping through .the retainingclasp after the latter has been inserted into the necktie frame. V

vThe retaining-clasp'is made to straddle the loop, and its pointsV are forced through the frame and clinched on the opposite side, as clearly shown-in Iig. 2 of the drawing. l

v Both' clasps are secured in position by proper machinery, and. theoperation of attaching the loops to their frames can thus be effected with great rapidity, and la fastening for said loops is obtained, which is cheaper and more durable than the ordinary fastening by means of thread and needle.

I am aware that it is not new to attach the loop of a neck-tie to the retainer by means of a clasp, which p clasp in some eases is constructed not only to fasten the loop to the retainer, but to clamp its free ends together; also, that the ends of said loop have been inserted through an eyelet-hole in the retainer, and there held by a clasp which unites their ends and forms a stop.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The binding-clasp uniting the ends of the loop B, in combination with the retaining-clasp, the loop, and the neck-tie frame A; all arranged, constructed, and

`operated in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

This specification signed by me this 16th day of November, 1869.

A. KOMP.
