My invention relates to an improvement in four-in-hand neckties.

The object of my invention is to provide a lining for a four-in-hand necktie which is made of a plurality of layers of live springy' cloth cut to fit accurately the confinesof a silk or other envelope comprising the exterior portion of the necktie, and to so cut the material comprising the layers of lining that the tendency of each layer to assume a flat position inside an envelope will forcethe material of the envelope to assume a smooth neat appearance." V

More particularly stated, it is the object of my invention to cut the various layers of lining material for a necktie in opposite directions of the original piece of lining material whereby to provide in a lining construction for a necktie, at least one layer cut with the warp of the goods and one layer cut with the woof of the same or similar piece so that the internal tension of the various plies of lining material will compensate one another to carry out the general object of my invention which is to provide a lining which will most efficient- 7 dition.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a plan viewof the inner face of a necktie made in accordance with my invention, a portion of the seam of the tie being open to exhibit my tie lining.

Figure 2 is a plan view of one layer of my tie lining.

Figure 3'is a plan view of another ply of the lining.

Figure 4: is an isometric view of a portion of my tie showing a cross section in detail.

Like parts are identified by the same reference characters throughout the several views.

I am aware that many attempts have been made to provide a four-in-hand tie construction wherein a lining is provided to assist in maintaining the general ensemble of the tie in smooth neat condition, but the particular construction which I'have shown in the drawings and herein described has been found to accomplish this purpose more efiiciently and expeditiously" than any lining construction of which I'am aware. i s

Conforming to the general external appearance .of'the usual'founin-hand tie, I-provide= an-envelope or casing 10 of silk or other 3 suitable material foldedalong lines lland 12 to provide defined margins of the body of my tie and at 13 I fold the envelopesothat by means of stitchinglt a fairlyrigidseam com pletesithe closure of the flattened tubular cover1ng.""-'- I I Within the casingorcovering I place the various plies of the lining whichis so important in the construction of my tie and I form these plies as indicated in Figures 2 and 3 where .it will be 'seenthat one of the plies 15 is cut with the warp, in other words, lengthwise of the piece, and another ply 16 as shown in Figure 3 is cut with the woof, or crosswise of the piece. Other plies cut in other directions of the piece may be added,

but I have found that a combination of plies,

one or more of which is cut lengthwise and another cut crosswise of the piece, constitute a complete combination which will effectively secure the results which I endeavor to obtain.

The two plies 15 and 16 of lining material when cut to conform to the lines 11 and 12 of the envelope may be superimposed upon one another and folded in the envelope as indicated in that portion 17 of the necktie shown in Figure 1.

By stitching or otherwise closing the envelope 10, I have found that in conformity with the spirit of my invention it is preferable to only stitch one layer, for instance the ply 15' of the lining, to the envelope as indicated in Figures 1 and i so that the plies of lining and particularly the margins thereof are free to straighten out after they have been folded or formed in the usual convolutions necessary to the formation of a four-in-hand tie as worn.

Marginally the plies constituting the lining of my tie, conforming as they do to the lines 11 and 12, force the covering 10 of the tie to assume as flat and smooth an appearance as tion With respect to each other as shown in the drawings.

Choice of material from which to cut the lining plies is, of course, important and I have found that a layer of a Wool material and a layer of mohair cloth is preferable since wool and mohair cloth have a tendency to resist creasing and tend to remain live, active and springy under all conditions.

A person Wearing my tie will find after he has removed it following a days Wear that the various creases formed by the knot and the curling of the material will slowly disappear as the material of the lining pulls,

stretches, strains and pushes inside the confines of the casing 10, and after a short time the resultant forces Will be found to have straightened and flattened the covering and completely eradicated creases caused by its use and the tie Will be found to be in substantially unimpaired condition.

I claim:

The combination With a necktie casing folded to provide defined margin lines, of lining material for said casing comprising a plurality of layers of Woven fabric containing Wool and shaped to conform to said margin lines, one of said layers being cut With the Warp and another being cut with the Woof of its material.

ISIDOR SIMSON.
