To all whom t 'may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH ZIMMERN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in, Neckties; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The present invention relates to body garments, and has particular reference to a novel construction of necktie.

An object is to provide a necktie for use with a turned-over collar provided with sub- Y stantially vertical slits in the free ends of its outer portion, and by means of which the free ends of the collar may be drawn and held tightly together andthe necktie knotted in the form of a bow.

Another object is to provide a necktie with a relatively short intermediate band adapted to be passed through the slits in the collar to urge the ends of the collar together when the tie is knotted or tied. 4

The above, and other objects and advan-V tages of this invention will be in part described and in part understood from the following detailed description of the present preferred embodiment, the same being illus trated in the accompanying drawing, in which,-

Figure 1 is a plan view of a necktie constructed according to the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary plan view of the band of the necktie engaged in the slits of a turned over collar.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the necktie adjusted through the slits of the collar and in position to be tied.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the necktie applied to a collar and tied into a bow knot.

Referring to the drawing, the necktie comprises a single length body portion of any suitable iexible material, and which is relatively long and narrow and provided with preferably straight edged ends 10r and 11,

and the relatively short and reduced intermediate band portion 12. The ends 10 and 11 comprise relatively wide bow portions which are connected together by an integral relatively narrow band portion. Theband 12 is very short, and has its opposite klateral edges 13 preferably diverging and merging into the lateral edges of the ends lOand 11;

The necktie is adapted particularly for ,use with a turned-over collar A having its A free end portions B provided in the usual manner with substantially vertical slits C of a length to snugly t the intermediate part of the band 12. v

In use, the ends 10 and 11 are passed through the slits C of thecollar and drawn outwardly through the same. This disposes the band 12 in the slits. is tied, as shown in Fig. 4, the ends of the band 12 are drawn forwardly toV bind and hold the ends of the collar tightly together.

It is, of course, understood that various changes in design may be made in the details of construction of the above specifically described necktie of this invention without departing from the spirit thereof, and being limited only by the scope of the following claim.

What I claim is A bow necktie, for use with a fold collar having slots adjacent the front vertical edges of the fold over portion of said collar, said necktie having relatively wide bow portions connected by an integral relatively narrow band portion, said band portion being of a length corresponding only to substantially the distance between the slots in the front edges of the collar, whereby the band portion may extend through and between When the necktie said slots and the wide bow portions eXtend- Copie: of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, Washington, '.D.
