Description

Patented Dec. 20, 1932 ,PATENT- OFFICE WILLIAM BELLE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA NECKTIE Application mea August 22, 1932. semi N. 629,974.

This invention relates to a necktie for use with either soft or stiff collars, the eneral object of the invention being to provide the necktie with a permanent knot forming portion so formed that the tievcan be easily and quickly put in place and removed and onewhich will stay in adjusted position after once being adj-usted.

This inventionalso 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 drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing theinvention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure l is a fragmentary the improved tie.

Figure 2 is a similar view looking towards the rear thereof.

Figure 3 is an enlarged detail view showing vthe part of the tubular portion pulled from over the knot forming portion.

Figure 4 is a front view showin the tubular portion partly pulled over 'the ot formino portion.

Figure 5 is a rear view of a knot forming part before the same is bent.

Figure 6 is a top plan view of Figure 5 showing the tie material attached to the cross piece of the wire member.

front view of Figure 7 is a. fragmentary view partly broken away to show the reinforcing fabric. Figure 8 is a view of oneform of the wire mem er.

Figure 9 is a view of another form thereof.

portion by the downwardly converging linesv of stitching 2 and a member 3 of wire or the like is associated with the canvas member.

This wire member is bent to provide vthe straight central portion 3 and the hook portions 3 at the ends of the straight portion with the free limbs of the hook portions extending downwardly while the-hook forming portion extends upwardly as shown. These hook portions 3 are placed in the casings formed at the ends of the member 1 by thel lines of stitching 2 with the straight portion 3 extending through holes in the inner walls 60 of the casings with the straight-portion extending across the rear part ofthe member 1 as clearly shown in Figure 5.A Thus the hook portions lare held in the casing with the ends of the straight portionpassing throughholes in the casing so that the wire member is firmly attached to the canvas member.. y

The tie forming material 4 has an intermediate portion sewn to the straight part 3',

as shown'in Figures 3 and 6, the upper p0r- 70 tion of the material is sewn to provide a tubular part 4 which ispulled over the member 1 as 'shown in Figure 4 to provide the knot forming portion of the tie. A narrow part 5 of the tie material has one end fastened to 75 the part sewn to the straight portion of the wire member and this narrow part 5 is adapted to pass around the neck then to be passed through the knot forming part as shown in Figures 1 and 2, after said knot forming por- 80 nected with the wire member or adjacent the point where the material is fastened to the wire member so as to afford a support to the tie directly below the knot. This piece acts as a supplementary lining for the tie below the knot forming part.

If desired one of the limbs of the wire member can be extended and pointed as shown at 6 in Figure v9 and this point projected into the interior of the knot forming member so that the free end of the narrow strip 5 can 95 be penetrated by the "point so as to hold the strip 5 in adjusted position 'around the neck of the user.

When the canvas member 1 with the Wire member 3 thereof is bent to'form the knot A 100 canvas member when said member is folded which is covered by the tubular part 4 of the material, a fiexible knot is provided which can be pressed into a 'shape to exactly simulate the knot of a hand tied neck tie and which will hold the neckband 5 in place after the same has been adjusted around the neck of a user, and if desired the point v6 can be provided on the wire member toengage the free cnd of the neckband for holding it in adjusted position. The wire form or member is automatically locked in position in the and stitched as shown in Figures 5 and 6 so that there is no danger of the wire member v becoming detached from the canvas member. The tie material is not sewn to the canvas but is connected with the wire member. before stated this tie can be used with either stiff collars or soft collars.

It is thought from the foregoing descrip- `tion that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of ,the several parts provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim as new is:

l. A necktie of the class described comprising a member formed of stiff fabric having its ends folded upon itself, portions of its ends sewn to the major portion to provide a casing at each end of the member, a member formed of wire and bent to provide a straight bar with-upwardly extending hook portions the freeV ends of which extend below the straight bar, said hook portions being located in the casings with the straight portion extending through holes in the casings, necktie material having an intermediate portion connected with the straight portion of the wire member and the upjer part of said material being sewn into tu ular form to enclose the first mentioned member and the wire member to form a knot whenthe first mentioned member is bent into knot forming position and a neck band havin one end connected with the straight part 0% the wire with its other end adapted-to be passed through the knot forming portion.

prising a member formed of stifffabric .hav-l ing its ends folded upon itself, portions of its ends sewn to the major portion to provide f a casing at each end of the member, a member tion connected with the straight portion of the wire member andthe upper part of said material being sewn into tubular form to enclose the iirst mentioned member and the wire member to form a knot when the first mentioned member is bent intoknot forming position and a neck band having one end connected with the straight part of the wire with vits other end adapted to be passed through the knot formlng portion, and a reinforcing piece having its upper end connected to the straight part of the wire member and forming a lining for a part of the tie immediately below the knot forming part.

3.Y A necktie of the class described com prising a member formed of stiff fabric having its ends folded upen itself, portions vof its ends sewn to the'major portion to pro vide a casing at each end of the member, a member formed of `wire and bent to provide a straight bar with upwardly extending hook portions the free ends of which extend below the straight bar, said hook portions being y located in the casings with the straight portion extending through holes in the casings, necktie material having an intermediate ortion connected with the straight portion o the wire member and the upper part of said material beingsewn into tubular form to enclose the first mentioned member and the wire member to form a knotl when .the first men-V tioned member is bent into knotforming position and a neck band having one end connected with the -straight part of the wire vwith its other end adapted to be passed through the knot forming portion, one of the limbsof the wire member being substantial` 1y pointed and projected into the inside of the knot forming member to engage the free end of the neckband to hold the same in adn justed position.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
