COLLAR BUTTON.
Application filed April 3, 1924. Serial No. 703,848.
which it a-ppertains to make and use the same.
This invention rel-ates to collar buttons and particularly to devices of this class adapted for use at the back of-the neck band portion of a shirt, and particularly to buttons of this class for supporting an upstanding collar in position and for retaining a. tie against displacement; and the object of the invention is to provide a device of the class and for the purpose specified preferably in the form of a T-shaped body of suitable material, said body or a predetermined portion thereof being provided with a projecting prong or prongs adapted to cooperate with a tie to retain the tie in predetermined position;
'- and with these and other objects in view, the
invention consists in a device of the class specified which is simple in construction, efficient in use and which is constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one form of device which I employ.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the device shown in Fig. 1 and diagrammatically illustrating the method of its use.
Fig. 3 is a face view of a modified form of device.
Fig. 4 is a View similar to Fig. 2 but showin another modification; and,
Fig. 5 is a face view of the device shown in Fig. 4 with part of a tie being indicated in dotted lines.
In Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, I have shown at 10 one form of button comprising a comparatively narrow crosshea-d 11 which is curved or arc-shaped in form and a shank 12 projecting from one side edge of the crosshead 11 and offset therefrom by a curved portion 13 as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing. The shank 12 of the button preferably tapers outwardly and the free end is rounded as shown at 14, and approximate-- ly. centrally of the shank 12 is a prong 15 which projects fromthe inner face thereof, and which is preferably formed from the material of said shank.
The entire button may be composed of metal of any kind or class or of an inexpensive metal coated with anexpensive metal, as for example, silver, gold and platinum, or said device may be composed of any other material, such for example as celluloid, pressedfibre and the like. In the use of the device, the crosshead 11 is passed through the button-hole 16 in the neck band 17 of a shirt 18 as indicated in dot and dash lines in Fig. 2 of the drawing, and said crosshead is retained adjacent the upper edge portion of the neck band as shown, said crosshead retaining the button against displacement or lateral movement. In attaching an upstanding collar 19 to the neck band 17, the shank 1.2 is passed through the button-hole 2O centrally of the back portion of the collar, after which the tie to be worn is placed within the shank or tongue member 12 of the button and the bow or knot formed therein in the usual manner. In adjusting the tie, when the bow or knot has been formed into proper position, the shank or tongue member 12 is raised by hand to release the prong 15 from the tie 21, after which the release of said tongue member 12 will cause the prong 15 to engage the tie 21 or the fabric thereof to retain the same in position or against movement circumferentially of the collar.
It will be noted that the prong 15 is rounded rather being sharp, and it is preferred that this type of prong be used to prevent the ravelling or tearing of the tie in the use of the button. It will be understood that my improved button is designed for use in connection with upstanding collars only, and the shank or tongue member 12 while preventing vertical movement of the tie on the collar also prevents the circumferential movement of the tie thereon as above set out, by reason of the prong member 15'.
In Fig. 3 of the drawing, I have shown a slight modification, in which two prong members 15 are fashioned from the material of the shank or tongue member 12 instead of one as in the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and with this exception, the construction of the button shown in Fig. 3 is identical with that shown in the first named figures.
In Figs. 4: and 5 of the drawing, I have shown a button 10 similar in general shape and contour to the button 10 shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, but substituted for the prong member 15 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and the prong members 15 shown in Fig. 3, is a prong member 22, which is fashioned from that portion of the shank or tongue member 12 which is closely adjacent to the crosshead 11 as clearly shown in Fig. 4; of the drawing. The prong member 22 is directed downwardly and is adapted to engage the upper edge portion of the neck tie 21 as indicated at 23 in Fig. 5 of the drawing to retain the tie against circumferential movement.
It will be understood that while I have shown a number of forms of construction for carrying my invention into effect, that I am not necessarily limited thereto, and other changes in and modifications of the construction herein shown and described may be made Within the scope of the appended claim without departing from the spirit of my invention, or sacrificing 1ts advantages.
Having fully described my invention,
what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A collar button for use in connection with upstanding collars comprising a part adapted to engage the neck band portion of a shirt, and a part integral with the first named part and extending from the neck band and in spaced relation thereto, said last named part being adapted to be passed through the button-hole of a collar and to overlie a neck tie mounted on the collar, and said last named part being provided with a prong fashioned from the material thereof and adapted to engage the fabric of the neck tie to retain the same against displacement.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed-my name this 2nd day of April, 1924.
IVALTER B. WILLIAMS.
