Specification of Letters Patent.

Application flied may 22, 1914. Serial No. 840,181.

The object of this invention is to provide an easilymianipulated and durable necktie,

and one in which there is economy of the expensive material forming the body of the tie.

In the accompanying drawing,

Figure l is a perspectire view "of a necktie embodying the invention, and

Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5 are respectively sec- .tions through the tie on lines 2-2, 33,

may be bias-cut, as shown at 30. The material of this strip is the most expensive that is customarily put into the manufacture of the tie, as it is the portion which is exposed to view when the necktie is in use. The facestrip 10 is folded or turned along its opposite edges 11 and 12 over upon itself forming overlapping marginal flaps 14 and 15 at the back of the tie. These marginal flaps are very narrow along the neckband and somewhat broadened along those portions of the tying ends which are adjacent to the neckband.

The lining-strip 21 is preferably of straight-cut material of less value than the more expensive material of the face-strip. This lining strip is of a stronger material, resistant to the strains of use. This liningstrip is folded or turned along its edges under upon itself forming inturned attaching flaps 16 and 17. The lining-strip 21 is placed at the back of the face-strip 10 with its inturned attaching flaps l6 and 17 resting on the inner portions of the overlapping marginal, flaps 14 and 15 of said facestrip' and stitchings 23 and 27 unite the overturned flaps laand 15 of the face-strip with the inturned flaps 16 and 17 of the lining-strip.

These stitchings do not extend through the body or outer portion of the lining strip 21;

neither do they extend through the body or outlier portions of the face-strip 10, but are cdyered and concealed by said outer per-- tious; The folded edges'of the face-strip 10 extend beyond the folded edges of the lining-strip 21, the folded edges of the facestrip being exposed at the back of the tie 65 outside the lining-strip, and mar inal stitchings 20 unite the layers thereo along'the back of the neckband outside the stitchings 23 and 27 which unite the folded face-strip with the folded lining strip. The opposite ends or terminals of the lining strip 21 are tapered forming points L0 as shown in Fig. l and the folds of the face-strip 10 are broadened and meet beyond these terminals. The meeting edges of the overturned facestrip are preferably stitched together by marginal stitchings 22 for a short distance beyond said terminals and thence are unstitched through the remainder of the tie ends as usual in ties of'this style. Short cross stitchings 36 unite the meeting edges of the face-strip at the back of the tie Where the lining-strip terminates.

The filling 24 is of a width corresponding with the folded faceetrip lOand extends into the marginal flaps thereof beyond the concealed stitchings 23 and :27 which unite the face strip with thelining-strip and the outer stitchings 2O penetrate the outer margins of szlid filling and firmly unite it with the folded edges of the face-strip.

The tieithus constructed has a multiplicity of layers (five more or less) along the tie adjacent to the opposite edges thereof. These layers practically form slide ribs near opposite edges of the tie which facilitate the movement within the collar, and the lateral extensions of the folded face-strip beyond said ribs avoid Wear at the edges of the tie, and the stitchings in these folded edges out side said ribs maintain the shape of the tie and prevent the wrinkling thereof under the strain of sliding adjustment within the collar.

Thelining strip .31 gives a really smooth and slip-easy continuous band over the whole length of the tie.

A straight-cut lining-stri when inserted in a bias-cut tie makes t e tie really a straight tie.

The lining-strip 21 is thin and, eliminates vthe customary single bulky scam in center or at the side of the ordinary tie.

The tie is cheaper to construct, as the whole tie is put together in one operation, including the lining-band 21; it is all made by machine, no hand-stitching being necessary in the construction of the tie There is a saving of the expensive material, by the inserting of the cheap smooth lining material, which saves the better Inaterial on the face of the tie.

Ties are made cheaper, with thi lining, as no hand-slip stitching, which is weak and expensive to make, is required in the making of this tie, and at the same time the lining gives the tie the appearance of a hand-slip stitched scarf 'instead of a machine-stitched scarf.

' The lining-band 21 is inserted in the operation of making the tie, instead of as an extra and separate operation of inserting the lining after the tie is otherwise completed.

The tie is made very sightly and neat at the back by the lining-band 21 being inserted, owing to the fact that there are no exposed stitches and no exposed edges, as everythingis taken inside.

A strong, reinforced. straighteut, nonyielding lining-band is provided, over the whole length of the tie, in by machinestitehes that are not visible. and which will stay longer and are less liable to fray out than hand-stitches.

The lining-band keeps the tie from twisting or wrinkling or pulling out of shape, as it is a straight-cut band that holds the bias silk face material from pulling.

'l he cross-stitches 36 at each end of the lin ng-band passing terial, the lining and the filling, add to the Y reinforcing and non-yielding qualities of the 1ining-band.

' of smooth satin, the

case may be.

through the racing ma- The lining-strip or band 21 reinforces the knot, when the tie is tied up forms, as it extends in the material of the knot at both the top and bottom ofthe same, dueto the length of the lining-strip along the tie.

The lining. strip 0 band 21 may be made individual strips being out out of one piece, as, for instance, thirtysix strips from one yard of material. Or, where special freedom of movement of the tie in the collar is required, more expensive material, such as ribbon having a specially smooth surface, may be used. The liningband i not limited in its application to. any certain form of tie, but maybe employed in four-in-hand, Ascot or other neckties, having both ends alike or different, as the One embodiment of the invention has been described, but it is obvious that changes may b made therein-without departing from the spirit of the invention.

I claim:

A necktie consisting of'a neckband and two tying ends and comprising a face-strip having its opposite edges overturned along the neckband :t'orming marginal folds. and a lining-strip of antifriction material of a Width substantially less than the Width of t e neckband portion having its opposite edges undenturned forming marginal folds narrower than the folds of the face-strip, said strips being ecured together by concealed stitching' passing through the turned flaps thereof.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
