as cloth, ribbon, printed muslin or the like" or which is adaptable for tie purposes of the liner grades or types and which may by the use of my device be quickly made up into a tie of most-presentable appearance.

These and other objects are attained in the tie described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a completed tie made in accordance with my invention, the neckband being shown broken away for purposes of illustration. 7 a

Fig. 3 is a'perspective View of a met-a1 base 1 which constitutes the form upon which the 1 tie is made up.

Fig. 5 is a perspective View of the strap by which the knotted portion of the tie is produced and held in place.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a strip of material from which the tie I have devised is formed. V v

' Fig. 7 is a composite perspective view of a modified form of base and strap which I will describe. A

In the tie I have devised, the body or how of the tie is made up of a piece of material such as I have shown in Fig. 6, which is of ribbon or similar character. This is folded into thirds as shown in Fig. 4. Then a base such as I have shown in Fig. 3 is placed centrally of the looped material and a central depression 8 is made between the sides 9 and encountered in the use of heavy clothtie ma- 10 of the base. After this the sides of the tiematerial are creased somewhat carelessly against the outerfaces of the sides-9 and 10 shown in Fig.2 and in Fig. 1. Then a knot-forming strap, as shown in-Fig. 5, has

snap fastener elements 11 and 12 which p'ermit the strap to be fastened about the creased central part of the bow in the position shownin Fig. 1. This strap is of the same material as the tie, or other material may be used, and the fastener is fastened at the back of the base, with the fastener occupying a depression 13 which maybepro vided for its reception. Thus the tie isv held 7 in shape as shown. a 7 The next feature lies in the looped lugs 14 and 15 which extend sidewise back of the loops ofthe tie. In these loops the h0oks.16 I I and 17 of an elastic neck band 18'are fastened in securing the tiein the proper position upon the neck of the wearer.

In Fig. 7 a slight modification of the base andstrap features is shown. This'modification consists in havlng a strap whlch has I the male fastener 19 at one end, and an eyelet 20 at its opposite end to receive the member 19 and a female member formation 21 in the depressed portion of the base. Thus a slight bulkiness is avoided such asmight be terial. Y The invention is that a tie so made. can be easily washed at any time andjthen reassembled quickly. Another feature is that the new tie can be most readily made up at any time by a simple feat of plain sewing to make the bow strip and the strap.

Having thus described my invention what Iclaimis;

1. A bow tieqcomprising a flanged base with a depression in the basebottom terminating in eyeleted ends, a stripof material folded to produce a bow, saidj bow being centrally insertedbetween the flanges, a strap to encircle the flanged portion and the cen trallypositioned portion of the folds of the bow enclosed between the flanges, a snap fastener for the strap, and means for detachable attachment to the eyeleted' ends of the base to encircle the neck of the wearer,

whereby the tie may be secured in position. strap and an eyelet on its remaining end, the 2. A bow tie comprising a base, flanges 1nfastener element and eyelet to engage with the tegral with the base, a depression under the fastener element integral with the bottom of flanged base terminating in eyeleted ends, a the base, and means for detachable attach- 5 snap fastener element integral with the base ment to the eyeleted ends of the base to enbottom, a strip of material folded to produce circle the neck of the wearer, whereby the a bow, said bow being located centrally of tie may be secured in posit-ion. and between the flanges of the base, a strap In witness whereof, I afiix my signature. 7 to encircle the flanged enclosed portion of V 10 the how, a fastener element on one end of the EDWARD J.
