Specification of Letters Patent. Al lg. 1918. I

Application filed August 27, 1915. Serial No. 47,682.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RALPH J. HALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Falls City, in the county of Polk and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tie-Slides for Collars; 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 tie slides for collars and the principal object of the invention is to provide a device adapted to prevent a necktie from sticking when the same 7 is being adjusted in a fold collar.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device which may be readily attached to collars of the ordinary type or which may be at the time of manufacture secured with in the collar, thus insuring the same at all times being in operative position.

Still another object of the invention is to provide a spacer which will hold the outer fold from the inner fold of the ordinary type of collar thereby allowing space through which the tie may be easily slipped,

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts which will be fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view illustrating my improved collar having a tie slide formed therein at the time the collar is made.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view of the device used as an attachment to a collar, and

Fig. 4 is a sectional view on line 41 of Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawin the numeral 1 indicates a turned down collar of the usual type now in general use. The collar comprises an outer fold 2 and an inner fold 3, which folds have secured thereto on the inner side a reinforcing ply 4;. A ply 5 is secured to the ply 1 carried by the inner fold 3 and has its top and bottom edges terminating flush with the crease 6 of the collar and the lower edge of the inner fold. The inner fold has formed at each end a locking tab 7 which has the usual button holes 8 therein; The'ply 5 is provided adjacent its upper and lower edges with longitudinally extending out-struck ridges 9, which ridges have their ends terminating adjacent the vertical edges of the outer fold 2 so that when the collar is ready for use, the said ridges will be located between the folds and entirely hidden from the exterior view. The plies 3, 4 and 5 are the usual plies of a collar.

A suitable filler 10 is positioned within the ridges 9 soas to prevent them from collapsing and to urge the ridges into engagement with the inner face of the ply 41" carried by the'outer fold 2, thus providing a sufiicient tie space between the folds 2 and 3 and the plies carried thereby. The lower ridge also prevents a tie from slipping down below the bottom edges of the folds after the tie has been positioned-between the folds and plies.

Referring to the modified form illustrated in Figs. 3 and 1, there it is shown a turned down collar having an outer fold 11 and an inner fold 12. A reinforcing ply 13 is secured to the inner sides of the folds 11 and 12 as clearly illustrated in the figures mentioned.

A reinforcing strip 14 is secured to the ply 13 carried by the inner fold 12 and the strip has its upper and lower edges secured in any suitable manner to the ply 13, it being understood that this strip does not extend over the entire surface of the ply 13. The

strip 14 is provided adjacent its upper and lower longitudinal edges with outstanding ridges 15, in which is secured a suitable filler 16 for preventing the ridges from collapsing and at the same timeforcing the ridges into engagement with the ply carried by the outer'fold so as to provide a tie receiving space, whereby a tie may freely slide between the folds and be prevented from slipping down below the bottom edges thereof.

It will be apparent that this construction permits the. collar to be manufactured at a comparatively small expense.

What is claimed is V A'turned down collar including an inner and outer fold having a reinforcing ply secured to the inner side thereof, a second ply secured to the ply carried by the inner fold of the collar, said second ply provided adjacent its upper and lower edges with outstanding ridges, a filler-secured in the ridges to prevent the latter from collapsing and In testimony whereof I afliX my signature to urge the ridges into engagement With the in presence of two Witnesses. ply carried by the outer f01d,' said ridges RALPH J .HALL. providing a tie space between the folds and Witnesses:
