COLLAR HOLDER Filed Feb. 6, 1954 Patented Oct. 8, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT GFFIQE' COLLAR HOLDER Arthur M. cal and Henry J. Rivers,
Mass., assignors tovGeneral Findings Attleboro, and Sup- 4 Claims.
This invention relates to collar holders and has for its object the production of a simple and efflcient clasp which is adapted to span the front edges of a collar and eiciently grip the edges of the collar and hold the same in proper position and prevent the curling up of the corners of the collar.
Another object of this invention is the production of a simple and efficient collar holder or clasp which consists of a pair of slidable adjustable sections which may be adjusted to increase or decrease the length of the clasp in order that the front edges of a collar may be efficiently gripped for holding the front edges of the collar in proper position. y
A further object of this invention is the production of a simple and eicient collar holder in the nature of a clasp consisting of a pair of slidably mounted sections which are so connected together as to hold the sections against spreading action and at the same time permitting proper expansion or lengthening of the clasp when excessive pressure is brought to bear thereon, inthis way preventing the tearing of the collar.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear throughout the following specification and claims.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a collar and necktie showing the collar holder in position engaging the front edges of a collar;
Figure 2 is a section taken on line 2 2 of Figure l;
Figure 3is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a section taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 1,'
Figure 5 is a front elevation of the collar holder removed from the collar;
Figure 6 is a section taken on line 6-6 of Figure 5;
Figure 7 is a rear elevation of the collar holder;
Figure 8 is a fragmentary rear .elevation of the overlapping ends of the sections of the collar holder; I
Figure 9 is a section taken on line 9-9 of `Figure 8;
Figure 10 is a section taken on line Ill-I0 of Figure 6;
Figure 11 is an enlarged rear elevation of a portion of the collar holder showing one of the headed retaining lugs and one of the friction knobs formed in the lug guiding slot; and
Figure 12 is a group perspective view illustrating the various parts of the collar holder before assembly.
By referring to the drawing, it will be seen that l5 designates the collar holder which comprises a primary section I6 and an auxiliary section H. Each of the sections I6 and Il is provided with a pair of apertured ears I8 near the outer end of each section, over which iit the apertured ears I 9 of the clamping jaws 20, the apertured ears i8 and l 9 being journaled or pivotally connected 10 by means of a journal pin 2| about which journal pin 2| is coiled a coil spring 22 having the ends thereof resting against the under faces of the jaws 20 and the inner faces of the sections of the collar holder. The outer ends of each of the 15 sections I6 and Il are bent forwardly to provide concave gripping lips 23 and the outer end of each of the jaws is bent inwardly toward the lips 23 to provide a conventional gripping lip 24, the lips 23 and 24 being adapted to be brought into. 20 biting engagement with the edges of the collar 25, as shown clearly in Figure 1, to provide an efcient gripping means for securing the collar holder l5 in engagement with the collar 25. Ihe
beunderstood that the headed lug 29 of one sec-' tion is bent so as to overlap the adjoining .section after extending through the guiding slot, and to tightly grip the sections so as to hold the shank portions 26 in tight frictional engagement to provide an efficient means for holding the 4sections I6 and l1 against accidental spreading or against( being accidentally closed one upon the other.
It should be further understood that this 'fric-V tional gripping means will normally hold the sections against movement after once having been set unless excess pressureis exerted to slide the sections outwardly to increase the length of the collar holder, and when this excess pressure is exerted, the sections will freely slide to an extended position thereby preventing the tearing of the edges of the collar which would be likely to occur if this expansion or sliding movement of one section with respect to the other were not permitted.
By carefully noting the drawing, it will be seen that the lips 23 and 24 are smooth along their concave and convex collar-gripping faces, particularly as illustrated in Figure 3, so as to provide an ecient 'collar-gripping means Without the necessity of. employing teeth or other vsharpened gripping means `which would be likely to injure the fabric of the collar. Y
From the foregoing description, it will be seen that a very simple and eicient collar holder has.
been provided which is particularly designed for holding the wings or corners of a soft or semi-soft collar in place, the collar holder being adapted to extend under the tie and span the distance between the edges of the collar, the spring pressed clamping jaws being adapted to efficiently grip v the edges 'of the collar for holding the edges of the collar in proper position against curling. Furthermore, it will be seen that a very simple and efcient means has been provided to permit of a proper extension of the collar holder when subject to excessive stretching pressure, and at the same time, the collar holder will, under normal conditions, be firmly held in a properly adjusted position.
It should be understood that certain detail changes in the mechanical construction may be employed without departing from the spirit of the invention so long as these'changes fall within the scope of the appended claims. A
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new isz- V1. As a new article of manufacture, a collar holder comprising a pair of elongated extensible sections, the sections having overlapping shank portions, spring pressed jaws carried by the cuter ends of said sections, the outer ends of the -sections and the outer ends of the jaws being provided With inturned'gripping lips extending transversely of the jaws and sections and being relatively Wide, the edges of which are formed to interflt in'concavo-convex relation and provide smooth fabric gripping surfaces for the jaws, whereby the fabric gripped by the jaws will be firmly clamped without danger of cutting, and frictional means for holding the sections in a set adjustable relation.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a collar holder comprising a pair of extensible sections, each section having a longitudinally extending slotted shank portion, the shank portion'o one section overlapping the shank portion of the` other section, and means carried by the respective sections and extending through the slotted portion of the adjoining section for rictionally holding the sectionsin a set adjusted position.
V3. As a new article of manufacture, a collar holder comprising a pair of longitudinally extending adjustable sections one overlapping the other, collar engaging means carried by the outer end of each section, each section having a longitudinally extending slot in its overlapping portion, the slots of the sections registering with each other, a headed lug carried by each section, the headed lug of one section extending through the slot in the adjoining section, and frictional means formed in said 4slots and engaging said headed lugs for facilitating the holding of said sections in a set adjusted position; l
4. A collar holder of the class described comprising a pair of overlapping sections, collar-engaging means carried by the outer end of each section, the overlapping portions of the sections being ,provided with registering longitudinally extending slots, frictional knobs formed along one edge of each slot, each section having a headed lug, each lug having a vreduced neck' passing through the adjoining slot and contacting with said knobs whereby the sections'may be held in adjusted frictional clamping relation with respect l to each other, the headed lugs of the sections tightly .clampingvthe overlapping portions of said Shanks in frictional sliding relation, the secY tions being curved longitudinally, the, lugs and knobs normally holding the sections against accidental movement and at the same time permitting expansion of one section with respect to the other when subjected to excessive pressure.
