MICHAEL HEYMAN, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.

NECKWEAR.

Specification of Letters Patent Patented Apr. 27, 1915.

Application filed August 8, 1914. Serial No. 855,718.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MICHAEL IIEYMAN, a citizenof the United States, and a resident of the city of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Neckwear, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

The object of my invention is to improve the construction of neckties, such as the four-in-hand, Ascot, string or other style of ties used with turn-down collars, to prevent the tie from sticking in the collar fold as it is drawn into position for tying and to cause it to slide easily under the collar.

I accomplish this result by that certain novel construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter particularly pointed out and claimed, whereby the Wearing surface for the neck portion is reinforced on both sides of the tie and this reinforcement is combined with the goods of the tie proper so as to present on both sides a comparatively frictionless surface when it is sought to slip the tie along the fold of the collar.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the goods from which the tie is made, showing the reinforcing strips for the neck band. Fig. 2 is a similar view after the first fold is made. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the completed tie. Fig. 4 illustrates a modification of the reinforcing pieces. Fig. 5 is a plan view after making the first fold in the modified construction. Fig. 6 is a similar view of the construction complete.

I have illustrated my invention in connection with the ordinary fourin-hand tie, although it will be understood that the same is applicable to any variety of tie intended to encircle the neck for tying in front. I have illustrated substantially only the neck band portion of the tie, as my invention relates to this portion of the scarf, and I have shown merely a portion of the tying part and of the ends.

In constructing my four-in-hand tie, I cut the goods 1 of the width and length for the ordinary tie. Before folding and seaming together the side edges of the neck and tying portions I secure across, preferably in a diagonal direction, strips 2, 2, of any suitable material, to provide a reinforcement for the neck portion. These strips are sewed to the goods on the line 3, 3. Two strips can be used folded diagonally across each other as shown, or the strips may be cut in sections and each diagonal piece can be a separate piece. These reinforcing strips extend only through the neck band portion, and the tying portions of the scarf and the loose ends are not provided with a reinforcement. It will be noted that with the diagonal strips secured in place, portions 4, 4, of the goods are not covered. Instead of using comparatively narrow strips, oblong or square pieces 5, 5, may be in a similar way secured by the stitches 7, 7, to the goods, leaving portions 6, 6, exposed, all as illustrated in Fig. a.

It will be understood that these reinforcmg strips are secured to the goods on the right or finished side of the fabric. Then the fabric is folded lengthwise along the middle line and the edges seamed together by the line of stitches 8, both through the neck and tying portions of the scarf, the right side of the goods being folded inwardly, so that the tie when the sides are secured together is wrong side out. The tie is then turned right side out and the seam 8 brought to the middle of the tie, and then the reinforcements and the folds of the tie are secured together by a triple row of stitches 9, 10 and 11.

V'Vhere the square reinforcing pieces 5 are applied, as shown in Fig. 4c in diamond shape, the same method of construction is employed. The side edges are brought over and secured together by a seam 12; then the tie is turned right side out and the seam line brought to the middle and then the triple row of stitches 13, 1 1 and 15 are employed to secure the reinforcement and the goods at the neck portion.

With any quality of material, but especially with the finestof fabrics, silk and the like, the neck portion of the scarf is made much stronger and more durable than where a reinforcing strip is attached upon one side only of the tie. IIeretofore it has been sought to provide a slip tie by constructing the neck band portion of thinner material, or by stiffening the neck band portion with sizing, or by cutting away one of the folds of the tie and inserting a reinforcing strip.

In all these constructions, one side of the tie at the neck band portion is of the original fabric, the tendency of this side to stick when it was sought to be drawn through the folded collar is not affected by any of the older constructions. I have found that with the reinforcement on both sides, or the dupleX reinforcement with the triple lineof stitches permanently securing the reinforce- V ment and the longitudinal folds of the tie together, a much superior construction is provided, and the tendency to bind is entirely overcome.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letthe fabric, withthe fabric folded on itself to forma narrow neckband and with the reinforcing strip on both sides of the band,

and a triple line of stitches in parallel lines extending the length of the reinforced por- G'opiesiof this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing Washington, D. G. v
