6 Claims.

My invention relates to interfitting collar and necktie consrtuction by which the necktie may be supported directly from the collar with or without a decorative necktie band. V

A purpose of my invention is to spring clamp a projection from the collar button by means acting within the tie so as to resist removal. I

A further purpose is to provide a sharply defined head upon the collar button to hold the button in the shirt collar independently of the application of the tie, in conjunction with a projection entering the tie and a spring held with in the tie.

A further purpose is to hold an anchoring device within the tie by lateral spring pressure so that the holding means can be applied quickly and reliably and will not be subject to accidental withdrawal.

A further purpose is to provide a novel button and cooperating anchor member.

Further purposes will appear inthe cation and in the claims.

specifi- I prefer to show one main form only with a detailed modification illustrating known to me. 7

tion.

Figure 6 is a plan view of a portion of the anchorage member fitting into the tie.

Figure 7 is an elevation of a fastening device used in connection with the structure of Figure 6.

Figure 8 is a front view of a variant form of button which may be used.

Figure 9 is a side elevation of the form of Figure 8, with the button head portions extending laterally. V

Figure 10 is side elevation corresponding to Figure 9, but with the head portions raised.

seen such as with evening dress, disguising they fact that the bow tie is secured in place inde pendently of the band; and by this means disguising the fact that the tie'is a ready-made tie. Within the necktie is fastened. an anchor or socket member 12 which comprises a base 13 and spaced standards l l and 15 which are sprung into position one toward the other by suitable spring pressure of the one against the other or of each toward the other. -These standards 14; and 15 may be secured to the base 13 inany suitable way as by soldering or by cutting them from the parts of a composite base. The standardl l is brazed or soldered in position upon the base 13 in Figure 6 and in Figures 4 and 5, whereas the upright or standard 15 in Figures l and 5 is in-' tended to be cut from the upper leaf 16 of a

base comprising leaves

16 and 17.

Between the

uprights

14 and 15 the socket member is apertured at 18 to pass the stud or tongue projection 19 of a. button 20 having a base 21 which lies between the shirt bands and the neck of the wearer, having a stem '21, and having a scf head 22 adapted to hold the parts of the shirt band back of the head to prevent displacement of the button whenthe necktie is not applied. It will be evident-that when the necktie is applied as in Figure 3, the function of holding the collar button within the collar willbe well performed by the base 13 of the necktie holder but this base is not effective for the purpose. when the tie islemoved.

The standard 14 not only may be a. springin itself to cooperate with the standard 15 (whether the standard 15 be a spring or not) but is desirably capable of lateral spring pressure on the two sides of the slit 23 so as to hold a keeper 24 within a slot 25, the edges 26 of the slot 25 of the standard 14 springing over the edges 27 of the keeper as the latter is inserted and resting within the depressions or notches 28 of the keeper. It will be noted thatthe keeper 2 1 is of general wedge shape, which wedge is not necessary for use with a laterally resilient standard '14 but which is desirable in order thatthe end 27' of the keeper may the more quickly and easily be inserted within the slot 25. The tapered form of keeper is desirable even where the standard 14 wedged into tight position and then held in position by the sewing of the necktie.

The necktie selected for illustration comprises two bows on each side, each made from tubular material having outer and inner walls 29 and as held together in the middle and flaring toward the ends of the bows. The base of the socket is applied to the back of the bow and the

standards

14 and 15 comprising projections beyond the base are passed through an opening 31 in the bow, after which the keeper is applied and a cover portion 32 is sewed to place.

In use the collar button is passed through the button holes in the shirt band and is held in position there between the base 21 and the head 22.

The tie containing the socket is then applied by pressure merely, the spring engagement of the prong, stud or tongue projection 19, by the opposite faces of the relatively spring pressed standards 1a and 15, holdingthe tie" in position with i any pressure determined in advance by the spring of the material or materials of the

standards

14 and 15, or both.

In Figures 8, 9 and 10 the head 22 is a modified form of that shown in the other figures, in

that it is made up of oppositely placed flaps 33 i and 34 which are pivoted at 35 upon springs 36 and 3'? supported at the bottom at 38 and whose ends 39 at the hinges are squared to hold the flaps against the'stem 21 Under these circumstances the springs press the flaps toward the stem and hold them in the position shown in Figures 8 and 9 for normal use or in the po-' well as ready removal of the tiefrom the tie socket.

In view of my invention and disclosure varia' tions and modifications to meet individual whim or particular need will doubtless become evident to others skilled in the art, to obtain all or part of the benefits of my invention without copying the structure shown, and I, therefore, claim all such in sofar as they fall within the reasonable 7 spirit and scope of my invention.

does not laterally spring, as the keeper can be Having thus described my invention what i claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:-

1. In a necktie and collar button combination, a necktie, a socket inserted within the necktie and comprising within the necktie a longitudinallysplit springstandard, a keeper held in place by the spring of' the parts of the standard, a 00- operating engaging standard, spring held with respect to the first standard and a collar button tongue fitting in the socket and held in place by spring tension transverse to the planes of the standards.

2. A necktie and collar button assemblage comprising ,a necktie and a socket member located within the necktie having flat standards within thenecktie, spring pressed, one toward the other, and one of them longitudinally slitted to act as a spring within the planes of this standard and a keeper held in place by thespring of the slitted standard. a

3. A socket for a collar button, adapted to be inserted within a necktie comprising a slotted base, standards upon opposite sides of the slot within the base, spring pressed toward each other, one of them slitted lengthwise, slotted transversely near its outer end and a keeper adapted to engage within the slot and be held by he parts of the slitted standard.

i. A collar button and socket assemblage for holding a tie to the button comprising a collar button having a base, an intermediate head and a tongue extension, a socket member comprising an apertured base, flat standards on opposite sides of the apertures, spring-pressed one toward the other and a keeper engaging one of the standards to hold it in place and lying substantially parallel to the base.

5. A socket for location within a necktie comprising button-engaging mechanism and retaining mechanism for holding the socket within the tie, having plate members springing in the direction of the width of the plate and a keeper adapted to be held in place by the spring-plate members.

6. A socket for holding a button projection within a tie and having a slot near the end of the socket in combination with a kee er extending through the slot and held in place by engagement of the edges of the keeper with the edges of the slot.
