5 Claims. (Cl. 2-146) This invention relates to a method and means of producing neckwear and more particularly, neckties.

One of the principal objects of the invention is to provide a necktie wherein the two body portions thereof are joined together in alignment with each other and in such a manner as to give greater strength to the point of union of the two portions than any other portion of the tie. In connection with this method of joining the body portions of the tie together, certain notches are provided along the edges at oppoe sitely disposed points of one of the tie body portions so that the length of the tie when finished can be determined by the location of the other of said tie body portions with respect to said notches. By this arrangement, the same pattern may be used for cutting material for ties of various lengths. When the material is cut, notches are also cut in certain of its edges corresponding with the notches in the pattern so that in finally assembling the tie material, the body portions of the tie may be moved longitudinally with respect to each other and with respect to the notches in the edges of the body portions of the tie, so that when the end of one body portion is aligned with the notches, the proper length of the tie is then determined.

Another important object of the invention is the method of forming this juncture in such a way that longitudinal stresses on the tie will not cause diagonal distortion of the tie which is a common occurrence in neckties heretofore made.

Still another object of the invention is the pro-. vision of a novel form of stitching to unite said joined body portions of the tie wherein said stitching engages the warp and woof of both portions of the fabric.

Still another object of the invention is the provision of a necktie of this character wherein the neck band portion of the tie is of no thicker construction than the remainder of the tie and said portion is of smooth finish.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of patterns by means of which the tie material pattern may be cut from blank stock material in the most economical manner and with a minimum of waste.

These and other objects will appear as my invention is more fully hereinafter described in the following specification, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and finally pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view of blank stock necktie material showing a plurality of my new and improved patterns arranged in, proper relation with the line 5 -5 of Figure 4.

Figure 6 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the method of. stitching the;twop: tie portions together.

Figure 7 is a fragmentary plan View of either side of the neck portion of the tie ,infinished form showing particularly my improved-form of connection between the two body portionsi'ofithe tie.

Referring now more particularlytothe .drawmgs:

In neckties heretoforemade, the .twoiportions of the tie material have been cut in elongated angular shapes and placed-side by "side :and stitched diagonally with respect to the united portions along their abutting edges. Obviously this form of construction, where the said necktie portions were arranged side by side, would effect distortion throughout the lengthiofithetie upon application or tension to the body portion thereof. Moreover, this single line of stitching proved unsatisfactory from the standpoint of jects of my invention is to overcome these objectionable features by arranging the tie portions in alignment with each other and uniting said aligned portions by a double row of stitching running substantially in the direction of the length of the tie.

Reference numeral l, in the drawings, indicates a portion of blank stock necktie material from which the material for the tie panels is cut. 2 indicates a pattern for one portion of the necktie material, and 3 indicates a pattern for the companion portion of the necktie. These 60 patterns are shaped precisely as shown in Figures 1 to 3 inclusive of the drawings, where, it will be noted, that when these patterns are placed side by side for the cutting operation, they form parallel outside margins for the major portion of their lengths. As shown, these patterns are arranged side by side along the material to be cut and are so arranged that the amount of waste material will be reduced to an absolute minimum. The pattern 3 is bifurcated as at 4 lengthwise of its narrow end to form a pair of

legs

5 and 6 so that in the original cutting operation, the tie material may be likewise cut and bifurcated. The pattern 2 is notched as at 1 at oppositely disposed points so that the tie material may be correspondingly notched in the cutting operation to provide guide marks when the tie is further dealt with in the process of its manufacture. The pattern 2 is also provided with notches 1A at oppositely disposed points to provide guide marks for determining the length of the tie when completed. For producing a tie of a predetermined length, the notches '!A may be positioned where shown in Figure 3. For a tie of greater length, the notches 1A would be formed closer to the narrowest end of the pattern 2 and the material cut corresponding to it. Likewise if the completed tie is to be of a shorter length, the notches IA are advanced toward the wider end of the pattern 2. Then in assembling the tie, the portion cut corresponding to the pattern 3 is placed with its narrowest end spaced apart and resting in registry with the notches 1A.

When the tie material is thus cut to correspond with the patterns, the two portions referred to in Figure 4 as 8 and 9 are arranged in alignment with each other and in over-lapping relation with each other, the portion 9 being placed on top of the portion 8 so that the tapering end of the portion 9 overlies the crotch at the bifurcated end of the portion 8. These overlapping portions are then united by a zigzag form of stitching l extending entirely along the edges of the bifurcation and the adjacent edges of the portion 9.

The tie material like all other fabric comprises a warp and a woof. In other words, the threads of the material are arranged lengthwise and crosswise at right angles to each other in the direction of the length and width of the material. The specific purpose of the zig-zag stitching is to firmly engage the warp and woof in the stitching operation. The form of stitching is preferably the kind shown and described in my application for letters patent of the United States covering improvements in Neckties, filed March 28, 1932, under Serial Number 601,474.

Following this assembly operation, the tie ma terial as a unit is then folded and stitched into tubular form also in accordance with my invention shown and described in the application for patent hereinabove referred to.

While I have shown a particular form of embodiment of my invention, I am aware that many minor changes therein will readily suggest themselves to others skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention. 10

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is:

1. Neckwear of the class described comprising two body portions joined together in alignment with each other, one of said portions being divided for a portion of its length and secured along said divided portion to the other of said body portions.

2. Neckwear of the class described comprising two angularly shaped body portions of single thickness united in overlapping relation with respect to each other, one of said portions being bifurcated for that portion of its length which overlaps the other of said body portions.

3. Neckwear of the class described comprising two body portions of unequal length, one of said body portions being bifurcated at one of its ends and united along said bifurcation with the other of said body portions.

4. Neckwear of the class described comprising two angularly shaped body portions united in overlapping relation with respect to each other for a portion of their length, said overlapping portion of one of said body portions being bifurcated and spread apart to the width of the other of said portions and united along said overlapping portions by a zigzag form of stitching.

5. A method of forming neckwear consisting in forming two angularly shaped body portions, forming a pair of oppositely disposed notches in one of said portions, bifurcating the end of the other of said body portions, placing said bifurcated portion over the other of said body portions and spreading said bifurcated portion to register with said notches whereby the proper configuration of the tie as a whole is produced from end to end without interruption, then uniting said bifurcated portion with the other of said portions by a zigzag form of stitching.
