NECKTIE S TRETCHER Filed Nov. "25, 1950 P rcs z Patented May 17, 1932 UNITED STATES PHILIP? SCHWARZ, 0F WUPPERTAL, GERMANY NEGKTIE s'rnm'cnm Application filed November 25, 1930, Serial No. asaiaz aaa in Germany October 23; 1929. 1,,
I am aware of the existence of necktie stretchers consisting of two practically parallel wedge-shaped flat members that are connected with one another at the narrow end 6 and can be spread by means provided at their broad ends, the whole being adapted to be introduced into one or the other of the hollow broad main parts of the necktie and to be etained therein while the necktie is out of 10 use and, perhaps, suspended during that time. This is, however, without importance, but it is a matter of course that two stretchers may be used in connection with one necktie, the one stretcher being then located in the one ll broad main part of the necktie and the other in the other broad main part thereof.
I wish it to be understood that my improved necktie stretcher does not pertain to hat type of such stretchers which consist of 30 a piece of wire so bent as to resemble an inverted V, but to that type in which the two main parts are flat members, the area of both of which together corresponds to the area of one of the broad main parts of the necktie.
Now, in my improved necktie stretcher the two flat parts are integral; they represent quasi one wedge-shaped member which is divided into two equal parts by means of a iarrow slit commencing at the broad edge of that member and terminating at such a distance from the narrow edge of the member that the remaining amount of material between the two like parts renders the stretcher elastic, that end of said slit being suitably widened so as to represent an oblong slot, the material surrounding this slot being, therefore, correspondingly narrower and the stretcher, therefore, correspondingly more elastic.
At the broad ends of the two parts are means provided by which said parts can be moved away from, as well as towards, one another, so as to render it possible to expand the stretcher in the necktie, as well as to contract it therein. That means may consist of converging or diverging slots in the broad ends of the flat parts and of a slide-like member engaging said slots and being shiftable therein.
My improved necktie stretcher is illustrated diagrammatically and by way of exampleon the accompanying drawings on which Figure 1 is a plan of a stretcher designed accordmg to this invention, the stretcher being shown in contracted state; Figure 2 is a similar view, showing the same stretcher in expanded state; and Figure 3 is a longitudinal section through this stretcher.
Referring to the drawings, 1 and 2 denote M the two like halves of the stretcher, each a being formed by a flat member of wedge-like shape. The two parts 1 and 2 are integral, in that they are integrally connected with one another at their narrow ends by a boww shaped part 3 which lies outside of an obit long slot 5, at which terminates the corresponding end of the narrow slit 4 which separates the stretcher halves from one another. The other ends of the parts 1 and 2, i. e. the W, broad ends, are provided with oblique slots 7' 7 and 8 which converge in the direction to the narrow ends and are engaged by a correspondingly shaped slide 6 which can be moved along to and fro in said slots. When the members are in the position shown in Fig. 1 the stretcher is contracted; this is the position in which the stretcher is to be introduced into the necktie. When the stretcher has been introduced it is expanded by shifting the slide 6 in the direction to the narrow end of the stretcher, as in Fig. 2.
The stretcher may consist of any of such materials as are sufficiently elastic for the purpose in view. I mention by way or" example paste-board, celluloid, and metals, for instance aluminum.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is 1. As an article of manufacture, a wedgeshaped flat plate of uniform thickness throughout having a narrow longitudinal slit extending from the edgeof the broad end of the plate to a point near the narrow end of the same and terminating at its inner end in an oblong slot so as to leave a pair of relative wide and flat side portions, and a fiat bowed connecting portion, the flat side Gui portions tapering throughout their length and toward the bowed portion.
2. A necktie stretcher comprising a wedgeshaped flat plate of uniform thickness 5 throughout having a narrow longitudinal slit extending from the edge of the broad end of the plate to a point near the narrow end of the same and terminatingiat its inner end in an oblong slot so as to leave a pair 10 of relative wide fiat side portionsfa flat bowed connecting portion, the flat portions tapering throughout their length and toward the bowed portion, and a movable member connected with the side portions near their free ends and adapted to move said side por tions toward and away from one another. I
In testimony whereof I affix my signature. 7 PHILIPP SCHWARZ.
