UNITED STATES PATENT orrles,

NECKTIE HOLDER.

Application filed November 18, 1920. Serial No. 424,920.

To all 'whom t 'may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD JAMES Nnrr- ZEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jersey City Heights, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Necktie Holder; 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 saine.

This invention relates to a necktie holder, and the object is to provide a device of special construction for securing the flowing end of a tie in posit-ion.

A further object is to provide a device having the form of a clasp pin, and including a member extending from one end of the bar of the pin and parallel with reference thereto, for engagement with one of the overlapping elements of a shirt front.

A still further object is to provide a device serving the purpose specified, and one which may be formed from a single sheet metal blank, the linished article including elements which correspond with the usual catch, pin, and spring held mounting means for the latter.

lVith the foregoing` and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction of the device, as hereinafter more fully disclosed, and in the production of the bla-nk from which the article is formed.

Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a portion of a negligee shirt and necktie, illustrating the application of my improved holder, the holder being shown in dotted lines.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the plane indicated by the line 2 2 of Figure 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on a plane extending longitudinally and centrally through the neck tie holder.

Figure 4: is a view in rear elevation of the necktie holder.

Figure 5 is a plan view of the blank from which the neck tie holder is made, and

Figure 6 is a section on the plane indicated by the line 6-6 of Figure 4 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

The blank from which the device is formed includes a strip of suitable metal, the principal portion of which is of uniform width, one end however Vbeing of reduced width, and slight-ly tapering, as shown, to form the pin per se. The wider portion of the blank is slotted at the point indicated, the metal being upset to form a catch for retaining the end of the pin.

The intermediate section of the blank corresponds with the element usually termed the bar, and is designated 10, and formed therewith is the clasp 12 having substantially the same width as the bar, although the exact dimensions, are not important. The extreme or free end of the wider portion is rounded, as shown and the blank is bent upon itself at 15, forming the connecting element between the clasp 14 and the bar 10.

The pin 16 is formed by cutting away the metal of the original blank, to form a tapered element having a point 17, and merging into that portion of the article constituting the bar. At the point of juncture, shoulders 18 are formed, the metal being bent upon itself at 19 and forming at this point an element corresponding with the usual spring hinge mounting of the pin.

The catch 21 is formed by upsetting a portion of the metal of the blank, the upset portion being deflected in two directions, and serving to properly retain the pin.

In the use of the device the pin is passed through the under side of the flowing end of the tie and is secured by the catch. The clasp is then slipped over the adjacent edge portion of the shirt front, or bosom, and owing to the resiliency of the metal, a sufliciently secure connection is effected for holding the tie in correct position, and yet permitting immediate detachment when desired. When in position, the device does.

not show on the front of the tie.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is A tie holder consisting of ablank provided with a portion struck out to form a catch, a clasp extending from and returned toward the holder on the opposite side to the catch, thelblank being reduced to form a pin, said pin being returned from the enadapted for connection to a tie and shirt and trance to the clasp across the opposite face concealed by the tie. 1U of the blank to engage the catch, the blank In testimony whereof I alix niy signature having shoulders at the uncionv of the pin in presence of two Witnesses.
