NECKTIE HOLDER AND STBETCHER.
Application filed December 23, 1927. Serial No. 242,276.
The ordinary four-in-hand necktie becomes wrinkled after it has been knotted a few times and loses its appearance of freshness. When it is attempted to iron such a necktie it usually becomes shiny. The most successful method of restoring a wrinkled necktie isto place it over a stretcher while in a wet condition". However, neckties differ so greatly in size and shape that a stretcher of single predetermined contour is of very little use. 7
The object of the present invention is to produce a simple and novel necktie holder and stretcher that may quickly be adjusted to fit any necktie and that will take up very little room while in use, and which shall effectively support a .tie thereon in such a way that itwill not become soiled because required to lie upon a table or otherobject during rejuvena-- tion.
The various features of novelty whereby my invention is characterized will hereinafter be pointed out with particularity in the claims; but, for a full understanding of my invention and of its objects and advantages, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a device arranged in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the base of the device, with the wires removed therefrom- Referring to the drawing, 1 represents a flat base member, conveniently rectangular in shape, having two rows of. holes extending lengthwise thereof. In the arrangement shown, there is one row of holes 2 arranged in pairs spaced a considerable distance apart from each other along the longitudinal center of the base. holes 3, also shown as consisting of two pairs lying in front of the other holes and spaced apart from each other. Co-operating with the base are two wires 4 and'5, more or less V-shaped. These wires are more or less resilient, but soft enough to permit them to be bent readily. The wire 4 is much longer than the other wire. adapted to be inserted in the holes 2. Thus one leg may be placed in the left hand hole and the other leg in either of the two right hand holes; or one leg may be inserted in the right hand hole of the left hand pair and the other end in either of the other two holes. This permits the modified V to be made wider There is also a second row of The free ends of the wire 4 are or narrower and be firmly supported in an upright position from the base. In the same way, thefree ends of the shorter wire 5 may be positioned in the holes 3. The two pairs of holes in this row are spaced closer'together than are the pairs in the other row. When the ends of the wire 5 are fitted into two of the cal position with the apex at the top.
When the Wrinkles are to be removed from Q a necktie, the large V isfinserted within the tubular large end of the tie while the small V is inserted in the tubular narrow end. If the parts'over the wires are notbeing held taut, the wires may be lifted from the base and the legs be bent slightly so as to produce a snug fit in the tie. If the tie is a wide one, the legs of the two Vs may be heldspread apart by selecting the proper holes in the base. In the same way, if the-tie is narrow, suitable holes will be found in the base to receive the wires after they are inserted in the ties Furthermore, the stretcher-s for the two ends of a tie are adjustableindependently of each other, so that the device may be used in connection with ties varying widely in width and whose two ends vary widely in width relatively to each other.
The wire 4 1s preferably made larger in diameter than the other wire so that, be-
cause of the difference in size between the two Vs the expansive force will be approximately 2 equal at both ends of the ties.
of'the base. The upper ends of these wiresare bent laterally, as indicated at 10, to form arms over which neckties may be hung. It will be seen that the wires 6 and 7 may be turned about their long axes, so that the arms may project laterally as shown or may extend in any direction radially ofthe long axes of the vertical portions of the wires 6 and 7.
While I have illustrated and described with particularity only a single preferred form of my invention, I do not desire to be limited to the exact structural details thus illustrated and described; but intend to cover all forms and arrangements which come within the definitions of'my invention constituting the appended claim.
legs will stand apart Varying distances, de- 4 pending on which two holes are selected to receive :them.
In testimony whereof, I sign this specification.
