Aug. 3, 1937. u G. PHILLIPS 2,088,867
NECKTIE SPREADER Filed oct. e, 195e Byvma'; 15%' Attorneys Patented Aug. 3, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
'I'he present invention relates to necktie spreaders and has for its principal object to provide a device of this character adapted to engage the large or exposed end of the necktie, adjacent the knot to prevent the same from becoming creased or unsightly.
A further object is to provide a device of this character of simple and practical construction, which is neat and attractive in appearance, rela- 0 tively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.
Further objects and advantages reside in the details of construction as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof, wherein'like numerals refer to like parts throughout and in which:-
Figure 1 is a fragmentary rear elevational view 20 of a necktie showing the position of the spreader with respect thereto.
Figure 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially on a line 2-2 of Figure 1 and Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view through 25 the spreader.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, Wherein for the purpose of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of the invention, the spreader indicated generally at 5 is formed of an elongated strip of relatively thin metal having prongs 6 struck outwardly adjacent each end and extended in opposite directions toward the end of the spreader for piercing the material of the tie 1 atpoints adjacent the vertical side edges of the side to maintain the latter in a. substantially flat condition.
A longitudinally extending rib 8 is formed in the body of the spreader to strengthen the same, 5 said rib extending from a point adjacent the inner end of each of the prongs 6 as will be clearly apparent from an inspection of Figure 2 of the drawing. Also, it will be apparent that the rib 8 is formed on the surface of the spreader oppo- 10 sitely from that of the prongs G so as not to interfere with the penetrating action of the prongs.
Also, it will be observed from an inspection of Figure 2 of the drawing that the ends of the 15 spreader 5 outwardly of the prongs are inclined in a direction oppositely with respect to the prongs as indicated at 9 to further expose the prongs to facilitate the penetrating action thereof.
It is believed the manner of use of the invention will be readily understood from. the foregoing without further detailed explanation.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:- 25
A tie spreader comprising an elongated relatively thin strip of metal, prongs struck therefrom adjacent each end and extending in opposite direction toward the adjacent ends of the strip, said ends of the strip outwardly of said 30 prongs being inclined in a direction away from said prongs.
