THOMAS CARL SPELLING, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

NECKTIE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 4, 1916.

Application filed August 6, 1915. Serial No. 43,923.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS CARL SPELe LING, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Neckties, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to neckties, and more particularly to the formation thereof.

It has for an object to provide a simplified form of construction in which the number of parts is reduced to a minimum.

A further object of this invention is to provide a number of symmetrical parts which may be cut from larger pieces of material with the greatest saving, and for the combining of these out parts into a finished necktie with the least number of stitching operations.

A further object of this invention is the provision of a tech or hangertype of tie in which the pendent portions are formed of one and the same piece of material.

Further objects will be apparent from the following specification, appended claim, and drawings, in which:

Figure 1 shows in plan view, a few of the parts of a tie of this type purchased on the market, shown for the sake of comparison, Fig. 2 is an elevation of a tie of this type made in accordance with my invention, Fig. 3 is a similar view of the rear thereof, Fig. 4 is a plan view of one portionof the tie. Fig. 5 is a similar view of the section of material which forms the streamers, Fig. 6 is a similar View of a forming member, Fig. 7 is a similar view of the strip of lining, Fig. 8 is a similar view of a stiffening member, Fig. 9 is a perspective view of one type of attachment, and, Fig. 10 a perspective view of a flexible strap for use similar to that shown in Fig. 9.

Referring to the drawings, Fig. 1 shows the several parts used in the construction of a hanger type of tie purchased on the market, and these parts are shown to form a comparison between the two types of ties.

Fig. 2 shows a plan view of the finished tie made in accordance with this invention, and in this view, 10 indicates the knot portion. and 11 and 12 the streamers.

Fig. 3 shows a rear view of the tie, and to the back of the finished tie are attached a band 13 to surround the collar on the neck of a wearer, and a clip 14, attached as at A under which the band 18 passes, one end beingpermanently attached to the tie when made up, the other, or free end to pass under the bar and be inserted and held in a fastener, 16. The tie is provided with a spring clamp or fastener 16 which receives and holds the free end of the band.

The tie proper is formed in the following manner, and of the sections shown in Figs. 4 to 8. The blank 17 shown in Fig. 4 is folded and has the two lower diagonal sides stitched together to form a tubular portion leaving a free end or flap. The streamers are then formed of the blank 18 shown in Fig. 5 by stitching the edges thereof to form a tubular length of material, which is then turned inside out, and in this tubular length of material, lining 19 is inserted. The former 20, shown in Fig. 8 is then filled with a wadding and placed in the bight formed by bending or folding the streamer section I transversely across the desired portion near the center thereof. The former may be further built up by bending a piece of stiff material similar in outline to the blank 21 shown in Fig. 6 and placing this bent piece of material over the section 20 with its wadding, and then this completed former is inserted in the streamer section. After the streamer has had the former inserted therein,

the free ends thereof are passed through the tubular section 17 and they are drawn clownwardly and the tie is thus made to. resemble the finished article. Then the free flap of the section 17, which is formed by the upwardly tapering edges is folded over the bight formed by the streamer section where it is stitched. It is apparent to those skilled in this art, how these several sections will be assembled, and how the shape of the knot portion of the tie may be varied as desired, so further description thereof is thought unnecessary.

Having thus described this invention I 7 a tubular length of material, lining inserted streamer section, a covering for the folded tried by said cover to support said tie on a 10 end of the streamersection comprising an 7 wearer. v irregularly shaped section of material In testimonv whereof I afiix my signature follded and having certain 02 its tapering-in presence of two Witnesses.

ec ges stitched together, to orm a tube, 7 said streamer section being insertible in said THOMAS CARL cover section, a tab formed on said cover Vitnesses:

section to fold over and conceal the folded EMANUEL GREENWALD,

end of the streamersections, and a band car- MOLLIE QUATINE'IZ.
