Description
Oct. 19, 1937. H. E. FRAMPTON NECKTIE Filed June 25, 1936 INVENTOR Harold E. Fram plon Brig/Z) L M 6; ATTORN I Patented Oct. 19, 1937 UNITED STATES ATENT oFrlcE 8 Claims.
This invention relates to neckties generally but is particularly designed to produce an improved construction of long, scarflike ties of the type known as four-in-hands.
The requirements for a satisfactory tie of that type include a sufficient stiffness and resilience in the folded fabric structure, especially in the longer, wider end thereof, while neither the end portions nor the neckband portion should be so thick as to produce undesirable bunches of material when the tie is knotted and draped about the wearers neck.
It is the object of my invention to satisfactorily meet these and other requirements of the trade and the customer and at the same time reduce companying sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a four-in-hand tie ready for use embodying my invention and I made according to my improved construction.
Figs. 2, 4 and 5 are cross sections taken respec-- tively along lines 2-2, 44 and 55 on Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 illustrates in cross section a possible, slight modification.
Fig. 6 is a detail, longitudinal section of the tip portion of the long end of the tie taken on the plane of line 66 of Fig. 2, and shown on a larger scale.
The thickness of the fabric is exaggerated in all the sectional views for the sake of clearness, and throughout the drawing like reference numerals refer to like parts.
Referring to Fig. 1, the long end, short end, and neckband portions of the conventional four-in-hand tieare respectively indicated generally by the numerals I, 2 and 5. The invention is especially advantageous when employed in making the long end i and is herein shown and described with reference thereto, but such construction might be extended further. Usually,
however, I prefer to make the neckband and short end of the tie thinner than the long end by using a lesser number of plies of the fabric therein in some such manner as shown in Fig. 4 for the said short end and in Fig. for the said neckband portion.
The basic idea of means to ensure the production of a tie, the main body (long end) of which shall be sufficiently thin but still stiff enough to hold its original flat form during handling by the salesman and use by the customer, without the insertion of any inner stiffening fabric; con-:
sists in the novel arrangement of the tie fabric shown in Fig. 2and in slightly modified form in Fig. 3.
As shown in Fig. 2 the front face of the tie is formed as usual by a ply 1 of the material extending the full width of said face, but the novel features of my invention appear in the back portion of the tie which is made in two sections meeting along approximately the longitudinal center line thereof, each of said back sections being composed of a flattened coil formed by three flat plies of the mate-rial, each extending substantially the full width of one half section of the back surface. side edge of the tie to said center line, while the other extends from said line to the other edge of the tie. As shown, each of said coils consists of an outer, back ply 8, an inner ply 9 adjacent the front ply l, and an inner ply Ii! lying between, and being of sufiicient width to completely fill, the interior space between 8 and 9.
The adjacent inner edges of said flattened coils One such flattened coil extends from one" may abut one against the other and lie in the same plane as shown in Fig. 2 and may, or may not be connected together by light stitching I2. To facilitate stitching of the two coil edges together, however, one might slightly overlap the In such case I prefer to pre-.
.vent any possibility of such overlapped seam The adoption or omission of one ormore of these last described features will be a matter of choice by the manufacturer determined by the conditions in any particular case. The exaggerated thickness of the material shown in Fig. 3 for clearness, of course, indicates a much greater ridge-forming tendency than would occur in practice with ordinary fabric.
To economize material and reduce the thickness of the neckband portion some such arrangement as shown in Fig. 4 is preferably employed at that point. 'As there indicated a relatively broad two-ply fold 20 forms the right hand sec' tion of the back portion of the tie, while a narrower fold with turned-in edge portion 2! forms the left hand section, the two edge portions of the flattened coils overlapping and beingheld to- The advantage of this over-' 7 narrowinner strip [3 of addedmaterial is also while the other side areao-ffthegbach portion is formed by a single 'fold 18 with te med. inwardly folded edge portion ianested inthe 7 t jinterior of the zigzag fold I]. 15
catedin Figs. '2 and 5.
. Still another arrangem nt of plies and folds maybe used in forming the short 'endof the tie as shown in Fig. 5 where the main backfpor-z tion of the tie at'thatpoint is composed ojfthe:
Zigzag fold H of one edge portion of the fabric, 7 H n back-portion andeachcomposed of a flattened coil'formed by three 'flat plies of the materiaL each of said pliesextending the' full width of one half section of the tie, one of said flattened I center line *and the pther' egtending fromqthe a V r j To save labor andalso to avoid the production "of ridgeson the tie exterior the-side edges of thefblank or material-from which the tie is made} as'above described, maybe left unhemrn'ed as indicated at 15, I5, in Fig.- 6,-as may als'o the edge portion le; of each innermost plylend, since fbothare hidden from viewiWhen'the tie is can;
pletedj Theend edgesof the remaining two piies are preferably hemmed as indicated at, '14,} becausejtheyare exposed to-view, One important advantage inherent in the 'aboye'described con- 1 structio'n results from' the factfthat'when each "side'edgeof the forming fabric is thus snugly J :nested in the ,bight of the'fold formed by the two iadjacent plies of the coil' onthat side'of the tie, 'said edges may be left unhemmed without clan-f g er rof their raveling.
