parts of which are so connected together as to eliminate stitching. M

Another object of the invention 1S to provide means whereby the depending part may I be removed so that the t1e can be worn as an ordinary bow tie;

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detall, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several Views, and in which Figure 1 is a View of the complete tie.

Figure 2 is a rear View of the top portion of the tie.

Figure 3 is asection on'line 33 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a sectional view through the bow part.

Figure 5 is a view of one of the members from which the bow is composed.

Figures 6 and 7 are views of the pieces of material from which the depending part is formed.

Figure 8 is a View of the strip which is used to tie the parts together.

Figure 9 is a section on line '99 of Figure 8.

.In these views, 1 indicates the bow part of the tie, 2 indicates a T-shaped part and 3 indicates a strip whichis tied around the upper end of the depending part and the bow to fasten these parts together and to contract the central portion of the bow part to form the bow, the ends of the strip 3 being carried upwardly and formed into a small bow 4. Thus the large bow 1 forms the wings of an aeroplane, the T-shaped part 2 forms the body and the tail and the bow 4 forms the propeller so that the tie simulates an aeroplane.

The strip 8 fastens to the tie the elastic strip 5 which is provided with the usual hook at one end and an eye at the other, with a buckle intermediate its ends for adjusting the length of the strip.

The bow 1 is composed of two strips of material, each folded longitudinally, with its edges overlapping, as shown at 6 in Figure 5, and then a piece 7 of filling material is placed in the central part, after which the ends of the folded strip are-turnedover. The two folded strips, with the filling therein,-are placed together after the ends are folded and after the strip 3 is wrapped around the central portion of the two strips 6, the bow is formed as shown in Figure 4. By forming the bow in'this manner, either face thereof can be used. c

The depending part2 is composed of a substantially T-shaped piece 8 and a tapered piece 9, the edges of these pieces. also being folded over, as shown in Figure 3, with a filling strip 10 placed between the folded portions of one piece. The folded edges of the two pieces .8 and 9 are then placed together, after mending tissue or other adhesive is placed between the contacting parts,

so that the parts are fastened together withi out the use of stitching. The tail forming portion is folded on the line 11 to cover the lower end of the piece 9 and the ends folded over to prevent raw edges from showing. These parts are also connected together by adhesive material.

The strip 3 is also composed of a long strip of material folded upon itself, with its edges folded inwardly and-fastened together by adhesive material. This strip is wrapped around the bow and the upper end of the part 2, as shown inFigures 1 and 2 and its ends tied together, as shown at 12, and then the ends are shaped into the bow 4.

From the foregoing it will be seen that I haveprovided a tie whichris in the form of an aeroplane and which is so made-that either face of the tie can be exposed to View. It will also be seen that the tie is'formed without the use of stitching and that the part 2 can be disconnected from the other part if it is desired to use the tie as an ordinary bow tie.

It is thought from the foregoing descrippassing around the central part of the bow and the small end of the T-shaped part to fasten said part to the bow and to compress the central portion of the bow.

2. A tie comprising a bow, a depending part of T-shape and a strip of material passing around the central part of the bow and the small end of the T-shaped part to fasten said part to the bow and to compress the central portion of the bow, the ends of the strip being passed upwardly and tied into a bow.

A tie comprising a bow, a depending part of T shape and a strip of material passing around the central part of the bow and the small end of the T-shaped partto fasten said part to the bow and to compress the central portion of the bow, said bow being formed of two members, each composed of a. length of material having its edges folded over into overlapping relation with a strip of filling material placed between the front portion of the member and its foldedover edges at the center of the member, the ends of each member being folded over upon the rear portion thereof and the two mem bers being placed together, the depending portion comprising two pieces of material having their edges folded over and fastened together by adhesive material.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
