COLLAR PIN Filed May 17, 192

WITNESSES INVENTOR I 1% cmleyL. GecZue ATTORNEY Patented Get. 8, 1929' verse 1 STATES STANLEY L. GEDNEY, OF MAPLEWQOD, NEW JERSEY COLLAR PIN Application filed. May 17,.

This invention relates to collar pins and more particularly to collar pins adapted for holding turnover collars of the soft or semisoft type.

'5 An object of the invention is to provide a collar pin in which the front bar of the pin has a necktie receiving recess therein so that the collar is properly held and ample space is provided for the necktie to prevent the necktie from being pushed outwardly as is the case with a straight bar pin.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts which will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a view in horizontal section through the front portion of'a collar showing my improved pin in operative position and indicating by dotted lines the position of a necktie;

Figure 2 is a view in front elevation of the pin shown in Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a plan view'of the pin shown in Figure 1, the sharp pointed end or pin per so being separated from its keeper on the bar;

Figures 4 and 5 are views similar to Figure 3 illustrating modified forms of collar pin embodying my invention.

While my improved device is known in W the trade as a collar pin, structurally it embodies a front bar 1 and a rear bar or pin 2.

The front bar 1 and pin 2 may be composed of a single length of wire,.coils 3 being provided at the ends of the front bar 1, and a keeper 4: fixed to one of the coils 3 and 0 adapted to receive the end of the pin 2.

The front bar 1 is formed with an inwardly offset portion 5 which constitutes a neck tie receiving recess, and this front bar 1 or,

at least, the recessed portion thereof, is in a different plane from the pin portion 2 so as to allow the pin to properly engage in its holder or keeper and without engaging the ofiset or recessed portion of the front bar 5,

as indicated clearly in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings.

1928. Serial No. 278,472.

In the modification illustrated in Figure 1, the front bar 6 constitutes a strip of metal as distinguished from a wire and has a perforated lug 7 extending rearwardly from one end of the bar and a keeper 8 extending rearwardly from the other end of the bar adapted to receive a pin 9 hingedly connected to the lug 7 This bar 6 has an inwardly or rearwardly offset portion 10 constituting a necktie receiving recess.

In the modification illustrated in Figure 5, a single length of wire is provided, forming the front bar 11 and the rear bar or pin 12 with an enlargement or shoulder 13 on the pin 12 spaced fromone end of the device a distance equal to the free end of a keeper 14 on the other end of the wire so that the pin will be properly positioned in a collar. The bar 11 in Figure 5 has an inwardly or rearwardly offset portion 15 constituting a tie receiving recess, as in the other forms above described.

Figure 1 illustrates a pin in position in a collar 16, the outer turned over portions 17 of the collar being punctured by the pin portion 2, and the recessed or offset portion 5 of the front bar 1 is located between the forward ends of the turned over portions 17 and extend inwardly, giving ample accommodation for the necktie 18, as clearly indicated.

It is of course to be understood that my improved pin will be composed of precious or semi-precious metal and may be ornamented in any way desired, and while I have illustrated several different embodiments of my invention it is'to be distinctly understood that Ido not wish to be limited to any particular design of pin as this is capable of a wide range of variation.

My invention includes broadly the provision of a collar pin in which the front bar has a tie receiving recess therein, and I desire to cover this idea broadly as defined in the appended claims.

I claim:

1. As a new article of manufacture, a collar pin having an inwardly offset portion inter-' mediate its ends constituting a necktie receiving recess.

2 A collar pin including a front bar and a rear bar or pin, the front bar having intermediate its ends an inwardly projecting offset portion constituting a necktie receiving recess.

8. A collar pin, including a front bar a pin Inovably connected to one end of the front bar, and movable means on the other end of the front bar for removable coupling engagement With the pin, said front bar having intermediate its ends an offset portion constituting a tie receiving recess.

4:. A collar supporter, comprising a bar, means for securing the bar to the front ends of a turnover collar and said bar having intermediate its ends an inwardly projecting offset portion constituting a necktie receiving recess.

Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 16th day of May, 1928, A. D.
