Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 19, 1918.

Application filed April 11 1916. Serial No. 90,497.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIDNEY FRANG, a citizen of the United States, and a reisdent of New-York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Neckwear; 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.

This invention relates to improvements in neckwear and more particularly to neckties such as are worn with and passed through the folds of turn-down collars,the object of the invention being to so construct such a tie that it will be permitted to slide freely between the folds of the collar and so that the more or less elastic fabric of which the tie is made will not be unduly stretched or distorted during the act of adjusting the same previous to tying.

A further object is to provide a necktie with means for permitting the slipping of the tie without stretching the same; which shall be attractive in appearance; which will not detract in any way from the flexibility of the tie, and which will not add materially to the thickness of that portion which enters between the folds of the collar.

With these objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereinafter set forth and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a rear view of a scarf-tie embodying my improvements, Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a similar view on the line 33 of Fig. 1.

1 represents a scarf-tie having its side portions folded over the body portion and stitched together as indicated at 2. The material of the tie is so fashioned and folded as to present a wide end portion 3 tapering gradually to the narrow neck portion 4 and the opposite end of the tie may be somewhat widened as indicated at 5. A lining 6 is inclosed within the tie and may extend from the narrower end thereof approximately to the wide end of the t i.e,the intermediate part of said lining where it passes through the neck portion of the tie being secured by lines of stitching 7 which pass through said lining and the folded tie.

A strip of fabric 8 extends from the narrow end of the tie past the neck portion thereof and terminates at a point near the junction of the neck portion with the wide end portion of the tie. At this end, the strip of fabric 8 may be made tapering as indicated at 9 and its extreme end located midway between the side edges of the folded tie.

The fabric strip 8 is comparatively light and thin and may be made of silken thread so woven that the strip shall be inelastic and have selvage edges. The inelastic strip is preferably of a width approximating that of the neck portion of the tie and both edge portions are turned under and securely fastened to the material of the tie by lines of stitching 10 extending from end to end of said strip. I

T he fabric strip 8 being inelastic will permit the tie to be pulled through the collar without danger of bein stretched or distorted and said strip will also reduce friction of the tie with the collar to a minimum.

lVhilc I have stated that the strip may be woven of silken thread, I would have it understood that I do not wish to limit myself to silken thread, but to be at liberty to employ fabric of a different character of thread so long as said fabric shall be inelastic, capable of easily sliding through the collar and having selvage edges.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:

An article of manufacture consisting of a necktie having inwardly folded'side por tions, and an inelastic fabric strip having inwardly folded edge portions and being approximately equal in width to that of the neck portion of the tie and extending ap proximately from one end of the neck portion to one end of the tie beyond the other end of said neck portion, the inwardly turned side edge portions of said inelastic strip being stitched to the inwardly turned edge portions of the tie and lying against the same, the inwardly turned stitched edges of the tie and the inelastic strip being concealed between said parts, and lines of stitching passing through the folded edges of the neck portion of the tie and through the folded edge portions of said inelastic strip.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this scribing witnesses.
