- Application filed. April as, 1925. Serial m. 25,194.

My. invention relates to neckties and -has for its ob ect a construction of tie which at the same time reduces the cost of manufacture, and produces a more satisfactory ar-.

ticle than the ties at resent in use.

My invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts described and claimed herein, and illustrated in the accompanying drawin s.

In these drawings which lllustrate a preferred embodiment of my invention, and in which similar reference characters designate corresponding parts in all views,

Figure 1 'isa view of a tie embodying the X5 invention;

Fig. 2 shows the double the tie is made;

Fig. 3 is a section taken approximately on the line 33 of Fig. 1; and,

Fig. 4 is a section taken approximately on the line 44 of Fig. 1.

The usual four-in-hand tie is made of silk or other suitable material upon a basis of a strip of coarser and stronger material which 2 serves as a lining or foundation for the silk by which it is encased; and ties of this construction have the disadvantage in the first place that the lining material sometimes is not as strong as it should beand it breaks '30 away, leaving the tie useless; and in the sec- 0nd place when the tie is tied, the lining and silk wrinkle, but the silk more readily resumes its shape, while the lining material retains the wrinkle, and the tie thus loses its flatness and becomes ill-sha en and diflicult to tie satisfactorily therea ter.

According to my invention, I first'provide a lining material 11 and a silk or facing mate rial 2 and -paste these two together over 40 their entire area so that in handling they may be treated as, and for all practical purposes do in factconstitute, a single piece of material. From this double material I cut sufiicient material according to pattern for a tie 3, and fold this material over with the silk 2 on the inside and the lining material 1 on the outside, lining up the edges 4 and stitching them together as shown. The sleeve.-

thus formed,'shaped according to the pattern used, which is open at the ends, is then turned inside out, bringingthesilk 2 on the outside, and the lining-material. 1 on the inside, and concealing the seam or edges t were stitched, as shown in SBOtIOZI where they 5 in Fig. a

fabric from which The .making of thetieis thus extremly simple, and the result is that we have a tie 3 n which the lining material and the silk or other covering forming the facing are cemented or pasted together throughout and thus act in substantially the manner of a s1ngle piece of material, except that the lin- .ing is at all times joined with, and is practically integral with, the silk, so as to take A the strain, whatever strain may be placed ppon the tie, thus enabling the tie to retain 1ts shape indefinitely. As a lining material 1 I prefer to use a warp-knitted fabric, which is a knitted fabric which is elastic or stretchable in one iity is lateral of the tie; and thus when the tie is used, the strain put upon itin drawing it through the collar when tying it comes in" v the direction in which'the material" does not yield. While the facing material or. silk may be of any suitable fabric, if a similar warp-knitted fabric is used, it is desirable that it be placed upon the lining fabric in exactly the same manner when they are being pasted together; that is to say, so that the direction of elasticity is lateral, and the fabric has no give in length of the tie.

In order to finish the exposed edges at the edge of the tie and prevent unraveling of the goods, it is desirable. to bind these edges with I tape 5. This is preferably done before the edges 4: of the tie are sewn together, so that the ends of the tape also are concealed within the tubular sleeve when it has been turned right-side-out.

Having now described my invention, 1'

claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

the direction of the v A necktie comprising a facing material and a lining material of warp-knitted fabric united thereto throughout their contact- GILBERT C. OOTT RELL.
