A bolo tie or decoration attached to a cord may be attached to a bag such as a purse, a backpack, pliable briefcase, an article of clothing, a decorative pillow, etc. In one embodiment, the article has a hole through which the cord may be inserted from the outside of the bag and then knotted or otherwise secured from the inside of the bag. Another embodiment uses features of the article, such as casings for bag handles or hardware wherein the cords attached to these features such that the cords of the bolo tie are threaded or looped and then secured. The cord of the bolo tie may be tied or looped around a handle of the article. The bolo tie or other decorations are removable to allow for interchangeability yet once the bolo tie is attached to the bag, the bolo tie is secure.
Description
- The present application relates to personal and decorative articles, such as purses, clothing, backpacks, pillows, etc. having an attached bolo tie and a method by which to removably attach the bolo tie to the article.
- A bolo, also called a bola tie, is a type of necktie consisting of a piece of cord or braided leather with decorative metal tips or aglets (aiguillettes) secured with an ornamental clasp or slide. Bolo tie slides and tips in silver have been part of Hopi, Navajo, and Zuni silversmithing traditions since the mid-20th century. In the United States bolo ties are widely associated with Western wear, and are generally most common in the western areas of the country; in fact, the bolo tie is the official neckwear of Arizona and New Mexico. Traditionally the bolo tie is men's wear in lieu of a necktie. There exists a desire to display the bolo tie other than around the neck.
- Disclosed herein is an article for carrying other articles or for wearing or displaying, the article having an outside of durable material with an outer surface and inner surface and, if a bag, an inner compartment for carrying personal belongings, the article made from a durable material, the bag having an outside and an inside into which to place articles; and a bolo tie removably attached to the article. The bolo may be attached to the article through a reinforced hole in the durable material through which one or more cords connected to the bolo tie are inserted and then knotted against either the inner surface of the durable material or the inner compartment to secure the bolo tie onto the article. The cords of the bolo tie may be tied or looped tightly around a handle, a loop, a strap connected to the article. The bolo tie may further be attached to the article by threading the cords of the bolo tie through any casings sewn or otherwise attached onto the article.

FIGS. 6A and 6B provide greater detail of reinforcement of a hole by which a bolo tie can be attached to an article in accordance with an embodiment as described herein. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , shown is anarticle 180 having abolo tie 100 applied to the outside of the article. Abolo tie 100 is typically a jeweled piece of jewelry having a decorativefront face 114 and a back face 118 (not shown inFIG. 1 ) onto which aleather cord 130 is threaded and looped. The ends of theleather cord 130 may be covered with jeweled or smithed tips oraglets 134. Traditionally, theaglets 134 are made of silver. The decorativefront face 114 of thebolo tie 100 is made of silver and has adistinctive piece 120 of turquoise or coral or other precious and semi-precious materials mounted onto thesilver 124 or other metal or support for the stones. Further traditionally, thebolo tie 100 is worn by men as a necktie. Theleather cord 130 need not be leather and can be vinyl, cloth, hemp or other synthetic or natural corded material; it is understood that thephrase leather cord 130 as used herein is intended to encompass cords of other materials as well. Theleather cord 130 is typically braided, sometimes employing elaborate braiding techniques such as used by cowboys and caballeros. - The disclosure herein relates to the secure application of a
bolo tie 100 onto anarticle 180, such as a purse or a backpack or a briefcase or luggage, an article of clothing such as a vest or a cowboy or other hat, a decorative article such as a pillow or throw. Thearticle 180 may be constructed from a durable material such as leather, vinyl, CORDURA®, canvas, nylon, polyester, GORETEX®, ballistic fabric or other durable synthetic or natural material; even metal. In this embodiment ofFIG. 2 , thearticle 180 has ahole 210 on theouter surface 184 of the outside durable material of thearticle 180 for attachment of thebolo tie 100, such as between thehandles 220 as shown inFIG. 1 . As shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 ,hole 180 is shown as a circular hole but it need not be circular but may be elongated, or a slit; nor need it be asingle hole 180. A singlecircular hole 210 is only one embodiment. - The durable material of the
article 180 has reinforcing 212 around the perimeter of the hole; Thehole 210 may be reinforced with agrommet 212 as shown inFIGS. 2 , 3 or with reinforced stitching or braiding, such as the braiding used with theleather cord 130, or with a circular, rectangular or irregularly-shaped piece of metal or plastic 614 that may a greater thickness than a grommet and that may be covered with the durable material.FIGS. 6A and 6B illustrate reinforcement of thehole 210 using anadditional piece 620 of durable fabric or leather. The metal orplastic 614 for reinforcing thehole 210 is placed onto the perimeter of thehole 210, such as on the under- or backside of the outer face of thearticle 180. A second layer of fabric orleather 620 may be glued, cemented, sewn or otherwise affixed onto the article and the metal orplastic 614 on the under- or backside of thearticle 180. The metal orplastic 614 may also be placed on theouter surface 184 of the article and a second layer of fabric orleather 620 may cover the ring from theouter face 184. Thesecond layer 620 would then be visible and can be used for additional decorative purposes. Thesecond layer 620 of fabric of leather need not be the durable material from which the article is made. Thehole 210 is reinforced by the metal or plastic 614 being sandwiched between two or more pieces of fabric or leather and the attractiveness of the article is enhanced because no metal or plastic is visible. InFIG. 2 , the loopedcord 130 is inserted through thehole 210 from the outside to the inner surface of the durable material or to an inner compartment whereas inFIG. 3 , separate ends ofcords 130 having theaglets 134 are inserted individually through thehole 210. - The
hole 210 may also be of sufficient diameter or other dimension so that theaglets 134 can be inserted and thecord 130 is snug against the inner surface of the durable material at the reinforcing 212 of thehole 210. One embodiment is that thehole 210 be reinforced with one-way teeth allowing thecord 130 to be easily inserted from the outside of the article to the inner surface of the durable material or to an inner compartment of the article but if theleather cord 130 were to be pulled from the outside of the article, the one-way teeth would clasp or bite at theleather cord 130 so that thebolo tie 100 could not be easily removed. In any event, a person carrying the article or wearing thearticle 180 would be able to detect the tugging necessary in an attempt to remove thebolo tie 100 from thearticle 180. Braiding and knotting techniques may further be employed to reinforce the hole. There may be two holes, one for each strand of thebolo tie 100 or there may be more than two holes. In another embodiment, the holes may be smaller to accommodate a wire, a metal or other rigid pin attached to thebolo tie 100. - After insertion of the cord through the
hole 210, thecord 130 may also be knotted against the inner surface of the durable material or an inner compartment of the article. Thecords 130 may be knotted on the reverse side of thehole 210 and there are many known braids and/or knots, e.g., there are knots such that when the cords are pulled the braids/knots become tighter such as a sheep shank knot. In any event, it is preferable that the knot not be easily untied. The knot of thecord 130 must be larger than thehole 210 so that the knottedcord 130 could not be pulled through thehole 210 from the outside of thebag 180. -
FIG. 4 provides detail of yet another embodiment to secure thebolo tie 100 to thearticle 180. As shown, thebolo tie 100 is placed on theouter surface 184 of thearticle 180 approximately symmetrical betweencasings bolo tie 100 may be placed at other locations on the outside of thearticle 180.Casings article 180;FIG. 4 illustrates one view of thearticle 180, on the opposite view (not shown) of thearticle 180, there may be similarly placed casings 410. In this instance, one tube orstrap upper opening respective casing lower opening tube article 180 to form ahandle 220. The other end of each tube or strap 420 may also be inserted into and through a similarly placed casing on the opposite face of thearticle 180 in order to provide carrying handles for thearticle 180. The choice, number and placement of casings 410 onto thearticle 180 are not limited to that shown inFIG. 4 ; casings 410 may be sewn or affixed onto the inside of thearticle 180 or a lining of thearticle 180 or in an inner compartment of thearticle 180; the tubes or straps 420 may crisscross and be inserted into and through an adjacent casing on the opposite face to form anX-type handle 220. Casings 410 need not be adjacent, need not be on opposite faces; need not be vertical as shown in the FIGS. Also as illustrated herein, tubes or straps 420 are of the same durable material as thearticle 180, but one will appreciate that tubes or straps 420 need not be of the same material as each other or as thearticle 180 and need not be tubular, but could be any synthetic or natural cording or rope or even lengths or strips of natural or synthetic fabric. Indeed, tubes or straps 420 may be braided cords of a larger or same diameter as thecords 130 attached to thebolo tie 100. The embodiments of attaching abolo tie 100 into and through casings 410 on thearticle 180 are not limited to that shown in the illustrations. -
FIG. 4 illustrates theleather cord 130 of thebolo tie 100 being inserted through one opening 412 of a casing 410 and pushed through the casing and out of the other opening 414. Theleather cord 130 may be secured at the other opening 414 by, e.g., knotting it with the knots 424 of the tubes or straps 420 or knotting it by itself. The insides of the casings 410 may also be made or have thereon a directional fiber, VELCRO® or small teeth such that removal of the tubes or straps 420 and thecord 130 is difficult. - Note that in the embodiments illustrated, the bolo tie is abutted up to and is in close physical contact with the outer surface of the durable material of the article so that the bolo tie does not move on its own, such as swinging. This is a preferred attachment to prevent theft of the bolo tie. However, in other situations, a user may prefer to have the bolo attached by the cords to the article, but still be able to be swing freely. The
bolo tie 100 may also be attached to thearticle 180 by looping or tying thecords 130 around anyhandles 220, straps 420 or loops or hardware integral with or removably attached to thearticle 180. An example of this embodiment is shown inFIG. 5 . - Further note that the embodiments shown in the figures and as described herein need not be mutually exclusive. After inserting
cords 130 of thebolo tie 100 through the reinforcedhole 210 and then knotting or otherwise securing thecords 130 against an inner surface of the durable material or an inner compartment of thearticle 180, as inFIG. 2 , the remainingcord 130 with theaglets 134 can be threaded through the casing 410 as inFIG. 4 or tied, looped around a handle 420 as inFIG. 5 . Abolo tie 100 may tied around a handle 420 and then thecords 130 may be secured through ahole 210 or a casing 410 or not. Note further that the article is constructed so that thebolo tie 100 is removable from the article. Regardless of whether the article is a purse or backpack or a vest or pillow or briefcase, a user may want to change bolo ties. The embodiments of the article described herein easily facilitate and are intended for easy replacement of the bolo tie onto the article yet once the bolo tie is in place it is secure. - The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
