NEGKTIE .AND METHOD 0F MAKING THE SAME.

Application filed February 15, 1926. Serial No. 88,223.

The present invention while lending itself to embodiment in four-in-hand neckties formed of various kinds of material is peculiarly adapted for embodiment in a relatively light Weight silk tie such, for instance, as a crpe tie.

An object of the invention is to provide a tie of this character so reinforced and soornamentally faced that it will have all of the so called body as well as the attractive appearance and durability of a heavy silk tie.

@ther objects ofthe invention are to provide a tie which is substantially proof against Wrinkling or distortion even after repeated knotting and a tie in which the unfolded freeedges are substantially reinforced and securely held against crumpling, creasing and ravelling.

0 A further object of the invention is to provide a novel method lof lforming the tie which lwill be'both inexpensive and expeditious, and will minimize the operations necessary to produce a complete tie of good quality and workmanship.

With the above noted and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, methods of manufacture, and combinations and arrangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and set forth in the claims.

The invention may be more fully understood from the following description in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Fig. 1 is-a plan view of a necktie showing the edges of the body,

interlinings and the first step in the method of forming the tie.

Fig. 2 is a similar view'of the reverse side of the tie.

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2, but show ing the ornamental facings, reversed and folded over the ends of the interlinings.

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the reverse side of the completed tie.

Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view on the Fig- 6 is a similar view on the line 6-6 of Fig. l.

Fig. 7 is a similar view on the line 7-7 of rig. 1.

Fig. 8 is an enlarged, broken transverse sectional view on the line 8-8 of Fig. 3.

Fig, 9 is a sectional view on the line 9 9 of Fig. 4.

Referring with particularity to the drawings, l have used the reference character 10 to designate the body o-r outer facing of the tie, 1l, th-e interlinng, and 12 the orna mental inner facing.

The construction of the tie may. perhaps be best understood by describing the method by which the part-s above mentioned are successively secured together, folded over, and. stitched to form the completed article.

'lhe body 10 preferably of light weight silk material, is in the nature of a long blan/k including flaring ends 10a diagonally cut/to produce the usual pointed extremities. Overlying the ends of the body, and shaped in conformity, with such ends, are a pair of relatively short sections 12 of ornamental facing material. rllhe facings may be of silk or other appropriate material and are preferably of a color or pattern which contrasts sharply yet harmonizes with the body of the tie. The short facing sections are cut to conform to the ends of the body which they overlie.

Secured to the opposite faces of the tie ends are sections of inter-lining 1l. rllhe sections 11 may be of any material which is conventionally used in the lining or reinforcement of neckties, preferably of some sturdy loosely woven lin-en crash, cut onV the bias as is customary, in order that it may be stretched either transversely orl longitudinally without permanent distortion. The ends of the interlining sections 11 are also cut to conform to the shape of the ends of the body 10. These interlining sections eX- tend from the tie ends to a point approximately 'at the junction of the flaring tie ende-y with the straight intermediate neck encircling portion-10 of the body.

The body, interlining sections and facing sections are laid in superimposed relation as seen in Figs. l, 2, and 5,the body constituting the intermediate thickness. The aligned and similarly shaped ends of the body, lining and facing are then secured together by a single line of stitching 15 which extends the full length of both sides of the relatively short facing sections 12 and along the margins of the alined V shaped ends of all of the overlaid sections. rl'his sewing leaves one edge 12a of each facing section 12 free and leaves the major portion of the interlining sections 11 free and unsecured to the body.

The next step, illustrated in Figs. 3 and 8 consists in turning the ends of the structure shown in Fig. 1 inside out, to bring the interlining 'sections in the center of the three laminations and to incidentally conceal the lines 4of stitching 15. When this reversal is accomplished, six thicknesses of material are provided at the end edges of the tie as seen in Fig. 8, three of the concealed thicknesses being reinforced by the stitching at 15 which unites their inwardly projecting edges so that a very substantial reinforcement is had along the end edges of the tie.

The final step of the method consists in folding the edges of the united body, interlinings and faces inwardly on the dot and dash lines of Fig. 3, tucking the raw side edges of the interlinings and body under, and securing the tie in this final folded position by a line of stitching 16 passed through the overlapped and folded edges of the body and interlining. It is in some instances necessary to doubly fold the unlined neck encircling portion of the body and secure this portion by additional double lines of stitching 16a. Ordinarily the lines of stitching 16, may be loose hand stitching, tightened at the ends of the stitching to silk facing, since when the tie has once been c pressed into its final form of Fig. l little strain is imposed on these lines of stitching in the operations of knotting or unknotting the tie. The lines of stitching 16a, awhile hand stitched may be machine stitched.

The final folding and sewing operation above described serves to conceal the raw edges 12a of the facing sections 12.

The tie in its completed form, even though the body be of light silk fabric, will be substantially proof against wrinkling or dise tortionk and will have the much desired body or weight due to the fact that the interlining extends the full length of the tie (with lthe exception of the neck encircling portion) and is rmly anchoredy both at the tie ends and along the lines of stitchin 16. It is to be understood that while I ave illustrated and described only a single preferred embodiment, both of the method and the article produced by the method that variou-s slight changes and alterations might be made both in the method and in the structural details of the tie without departing from the spirit or scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A four-in-hand necktie including a body portion and interlining sections extending approximately from the ends to the neck encircling portion of the body, said interlining sections being anchored at their ends to the ends of the body, and Ishort sections of facing material concealing the anchored ends of the interlining sections.

2. A four-in-hand necktie including a body portion and interlining sections extending approximately from the ends to the neck encircling portion of the body, relatively short facing sections concealing the ends 4of the interlining sections.

3. A four-in-hand necktie including a body portion and interlining sections extending approximately from the ends to the neck encircling portion of the body, relatively short facing sections concealing the ends of the interlining sections, the alined end edges of the facing sections, interlining sections and body being turned inwardly and secured together by concealed lines of stitching passing through such alined edges.

41. A device of the class described in claim 3 and wherein the raw unsewed edges of the short facing sections are concealed by the folded over portions of the body.

5. A method of manufacturing neckties which includes the steps of superimposing and alining the similarly shaped ends of a tie body, interlining sections, and facing sections with the tie body constituting the intermediate lamination, securing the alined end edges of the body, interlining and facing together by a line.of stitching passed through such edges, then turning the superimposed laminations inside out to make the interlining sections the intermediate laminations and to conceal the stitching.

6. A method of manufacturing neckties which includes the steps of superimposing and alining vthe similarly shaped ends of a tie body, interlining sections and facing sections with the tie body constituting the intermediate lamination, securing the alined end edges of the body, interlining and facing together by a line of stitching passed through such edges, then turning the superimposed laminations inside out to make the interlining sections the intermediate laminations and to conceal the stitching, then folding the sides of the body and interlining sections inwardly tucking their raw edges under and securing the inwardly folded and tucked under edges by a line of loose stitching.

7 A method as defined in claim 6 and wherein the facing sections are shorter than the interlning sections and their unsecured raw edges are concealed by the last mentioned folding operation.

8. A method as defined in claim 5 and wherein the facing sections are shorter than the interlniig sections and their side edges are secured to the side edges of the interlining sections and body by the lines of stitchof February, A. D. 1926.
