JOHN JENSEN, OF HOUSTON, TEXAS.

TIE HOLDER.

Application filed September 23, 1926. Serial No. 137,298

will facilitate application and proper adj ustment of the tie and which, if so desired,

may be so constructed as to give the tie held,

thereby the appearance of having been tied in the usual manner.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which may be readily and cheaply constructed and which is readily applied to and removed from the tie.

These and other objects I attain by the construction shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention and wherein Figure l is a front elevation showinga tie holder constructed in acordance with my invention applied to a tie;

Figure 2 isa section on the line 22 of Figure 1; a

Figure 3 is a section on the line 33 of Figure 1;

Figure 4 is a plan view of the holder removed;

Figure 5 is a side elevation thereof;

Figure 6 is a front elevation of the holder showing a covering applied thereto of the same material as employed in the construction of the tie.

Referring now more particularly to th drawing, the numeral 10 generally des1gnates a tapered tube substantially oval in cross section. Within this tube a partition 11 is disposed which, at the larger end of the tube, extends across the tube at substantially the center thereof and in the same general direction as the minor axis of the tube. At its lower end, this partitionextends transversely of the tube upon the major axis thereof, so that the partition thus provides two openings through'the tube which parallel one another and the major axis of the tube at the lower end of the tube and which parallel one another and the minor axis of the tube at the upper end thereof. The partition is preferably slightlyoffset with respect to the major minor axes of the tube, so that one of the openings is larger than the other, the larger opening being arranged at what is to be the front face of the tube.

In the use of the device, the smaller end of the tie is introduced'to the larger opening 12 at the lower end of the tube, drawn through the upper end ofthe tube, then returned and introduced to the upper end of the smaller opening 13 and pulled through the lower end thereof. Theloop thus provided at the upper end of the tube is enlarged until it is of a size permitting it to be passed over the head of the wearer and the tie placed 7 in position in the collar. After the tie is properly placed, the tube is slid up until it occupies its proper position with relation to thecollar.

Where the holder is to be sold as an ac cessory to the tie, it is preferably provided with a covering 14 of the same material as is employed in the construction of the tie. Where it is to be sold as a separate article of jewelry, the outer face of the tube may 7 be suitably ornamented, as indicated at 15.

Since the construction hereinbefore set forth is obviously capable of a certain range of change and modification without mate'- rially departing from the spirit of the in-y tube and extending longitudinally thereofto' divide the tube into two openings for the reception of the ends of the tie, saidpartition at the upper end thereof extending transversely of the tube upon the minor. axis thereof and at its lower'end extending transversely of the tube upon the major axis thereof.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afi'ix my signature.

JOHN JENSEN.
