TIE HQLDER CONSTRUCTION Filed March 11, 1935 Patented Oct. 25, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,134,394 TIE HOLDER CONSTRUCTION chusetts Application March 11, 1935, Serial No. 10,437

2 Claims.

My present invention relates to personal jewelry, and has particular reference to he holder constructions.

The tie holders used for retaining a tie in proper position are made in a wide variety of designs and of different materials. When a different tie is worn, it becomes necessary to change the tie holder if the design and color does not conform to the new tie. It is the principal object of my invention to provide a tie holder construction which permits quick change to obtain any one of a number of different designs and colors.

Moreover, tie holders of standard type grip relative movement of the tie to the shirt. It is an additional object of my invention to provide an ornamental tie holder which keeps the tie in proper relation to the shirt while permitting longitudinal movement of the tie to conform to movements of the wearer.

With the above and other objects and. advantageous features in view, my invention includes a novel arrangement of parts more fully disclosed in the detailed description following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, and more specifically defined in the claims appended thereto.

In the drawing,

Fig. 1 is a fragmentary view of a tie, showing the novel tie holder in position;

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1;.

Fig. 3 is a front view of the tie holder; and

Figs. 4 and 5 are front elevations of different designs of ornamental front members.

To this end, I provide, a tie holder l0, see Fig. 1, which includes a base member H and a front member l2, the base member comprising a horizontal bar l3 to which a clamp I4 issecured, the clamp being formed in any standard manner and preferably having a forward fiat portion l5 and an integral resilient back portion l6 having spaced sides I! and a reversely turned head l8; whereby a shirt hem may be removably inserted and resiliently held between the back and front portions.

The horizontal bar may be extended, or separate metal extensions l9 may be used, to extend forwardly, the ends 20 being bent to provide hook parts 2| which detachably receive rings or the like 22 secured to the rear surface of the front member I2, whereby the front member is hingedly mounted in the hook ends and may be readily removed and replaced. Thus, substitute both the tie and the shirt hem, thus preventing front members such as indicated by 4, having an initial design, or 24, see Fig. 5, having a modernistic design, may be quickly mounted to serve as the front member of the tie holder; the tie holder base may remain on the shirt hem 5 while the change is being made. The front members, due to their mounting, have a swinging movement with respect to the base member, thus enhancing the attractive appearance of the tie holder when in use.

It is thus evident that the novel invention includes a base which is removably securable to a shirt hem, and to which an ornamental front member may be detachably applied, whereby any 23, see Fig.

available design of front member may be selected. 16

Thus, the front member metal, of flexible chain, or any other suitable material. A wide range of choice is therefore possible, at a small increase in cos-t.

While 'I have described a specific construction 20 of base and of front member, and a specific mounting, it is obvious that any standard form of base may be used, and that any detachable connection arrangement of known type may be may be of wire, of fiat utilized, without departing from the spirit and 25 the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

I claim: I

1. In a tie holder, a base member having means for releasably securing to a shirt hem, 30 said base member having the ends thereof extending forwardly to form side extensions and then upwardly to'form hooks at the forward end of said side extensions, and a front member adapted to extend over the front of the tie, said 35 front member having means forming eyes on one side thereof adjacent the ends thereof, said eyes engaging said hooks to detachably secure said front member to said base member.

2. In a tie holder, a base member having 40 means for releasably securing to a shirt hem, said base member having the ends thereof bent forwardly to form side extensions and then upwardly to form hooks at the forward end of said side extensions, and a front member adapted to extend overthe front of the tie, said front member having eyes attached to the rear thereof and adjacent the ends thereof, said eyes having openings which are substantially at right angles to the front member, said eyes being adapted to fit over said hooks to detachably secure said front member to said base member.
