METHOD OF SECURING TIE LOOPS.

. Application filed July 19,

This invention relates to a process of applying necktie loopsin position on the rear face of the large end ofa necktie in such a manner that the threads are not exposed on 5 the face of the necktie.

It has heretofore been the custom, as far as I am aware, to hand tack the loop by its four corners to the rear face of the tie after completion thereof. This method, involving as it does, the individual handling of the ties, is a material factor in thecost of manufacture and usually necessitates, particularly in high grade ties, a second or final pressing or smoothing operation. 7 I have discovered itis possible tomachine sew a tape or strip to the large end of the tie to produce a loop, as one of the preliminary steps in the manufacture of the tie and then to manipulate the tie so that the stitched 'ends of the tape or strip aredoubled-back under the body portion, the pressing of the tie flattening the loop so that its ends are completely hidden from view.

With the object named in view, the invention consists in certain novel and useful steps in the application of the loop, as hereinafter described and claimed; and in order that it may be fully understood, reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing,

in which Figure 1 is a plan view of the large end 'of a necktie blank with the loop stitched in position with the. face of the loop bearing advertising matter or the like, turned down against the fabric- Figure 2 is a section on the line IIII of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a reduced plan view of the large end ofthe tie after it has had its side edges stitched together to form a tube.

Figure 4 is a section on the line IV--IV of Figure 3." I

Figure 5 is a longitudinal section taken through the tie as shown in Figures 3 and 4, to illustrate the turning of the tie.

Figure 6' is a perspective view of the completed tie with the loop appearing in proper position on the under face of the large end. Figure 7 is a section on the line VII-VII of Flgure 6.

In the said drawing, Where like reference characters identify corresponding parts in all of the figures, 1 indicates a piece of 1926. Serial No."123,271.

necktie fabric or material in the form of a blank. At the desired point on the large end of the tie a suitable necktie loop or advertising band 2 of common and well known character is stitched as at 2 with the face to be finally exposed turned down .as thus formed is now turned inside out in any desirable manner, care being taken that when the tie is turned, the material shall pass between the body of the tie and the advertising face of the loop to be finally exposed, as if the material is pulledbetween the stitched edges and the back side of the loop, it will be found that the loop is bridgingv the face of the tie to be exposed and moreover that the advertising face of the loop will be against the fabric.

When the tie has been reversed as described, it will be found that the loop is bridging the stitched edges of the large end of the tie, and that the advertising face of said loopis turned out or exposed. It will be apparent from a consideration of Figure 6 that slightly more looseness is provided as at 3, than the width of the finished face of the tie, in order that the stitched edges of the loop shall lie within the edges of .the tie on its rear face, as shown in Figure 6.

From the above description, it will be apparent that I have evolved a process of applying loops to ties which is more eco nomical than the old method, and through which, the ties can be placed in attractive condition before the consumer in the most expeditious manner.

I claim:-

1. The process of stitching necktie loops to neckties, comprising the stitching of the opposite ends of a loop to the necktie blank,- the formation of a tube by securing together the side edges of the blank, and the reversing of the tube by turning same inside out by passing the fabric between the'face of the loop to be finally exposed and the adjacent fabric.

2. The process of stitching necktie loops to neckties, comprising the stitching of the opposite ends of a loop to the necktie blank with the formation of a predetermined amount of slack or looseness in the fabric between the stitched points, the formation of a tube by securing together the side edges 10 of the blank, and the reversing of the tube loop to be exposed and the adjacent fabric.

In Witness whereof I hereunto affix my 15 signature.

JOHN HINKLE BRACKEN.
