Serial No. 245,171
2 Claims. I (01. 2-457) This invention relates to improvements in cravats, neckties and necktie fasteners.
An object of this invention is to improve the construction of a four-in-hand necktie so that the loose ends may be anchored to the wearers shirt, to prevent the same from blowing about and getting out of position.
Another object is to provide means whereby the ends of a tie may be locked together by easily operable means.
Another object is to provide a necktie holder having a tab which is readily adjustable for cooperation with a button on the wearers shirt.
Another object is to provide means for eliminating the wrinkles and folds in a tie, by providing an object to be inserted within the folds of a tie and means for quickly and easily uniting the tie around the insertedobject.
These and other objects will be apparent dur ing the course of the following description In the drawing accompanying this application I and forming a part thereof:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a shirt, a collar and a four-in-hand necktie mounted thereon, illustrating the appearance of the device when being worn,
Fig. 2 is an enlarged front view of my improved illustrating means for fastening the tie to a shirt button,
Fig. 3 is a rear View of my tie showing the .short end of the tie positioned within the folds of the large end thereof and showing the fastening means in one position,
Fig. 4 is a view corresponding with Fig. 3 showing the fastening means in a different position,
Fig. 5 is a view of the lower rear side of my tie construction showing a former inserted therein, While Fig. 6 is a sectional View taken on the line 6-45 of Fig. 5.
In the drawing the numeral I refers generally to a form of cravat or tie commonly known as a four-in-hand necktie, having a neck band portion 8, intermediate a flaring or large end 9 and a small end I0. As shown inFigs. 2, 3, 4 and 5, the rear surface of the large end 9 of the tie I is split longitudinally leaving a gap II. The lower ends of the tie margins adjacent the gap II are provided with fastening means indicated generally by the numeral I2, the particular fastening means illustrated herein being what is commonly referred to as a zipper fastener, comprising a series of small oppositely disposed locking members I3 mounted on strips of material I l sewn to the back of the tie I.
A tab I5 operates slidably to fasten and unfasten the oppositely disposed rows of locking members I3 in a well known manner. My invention is not limited to the particular type of zipper fastening means, illustrated herein, as various types of fastening means of the slidable type, or of any other kind, adapted to fasten together the opposite longitudinal tie margins may be used.
A feature of my invention is the hook construction I6 on the tab I5 of the zipper fastener I2 which isconstructed and arranged in such manner that it is adapted to embrace or fit around a shirt button Il, as hereinafter explained.
If desired a former I8 shown in Fig. 5 may be provided, and the same should be formed of stiff material such as wood, cardboard or the'like and is shaped to conform to the inside of the large end of the tie l and is adapted to be inserted therein.
The necktie I, illustrated herein, is adapted to be tied in four-in-hand fashion and worn in the conventional manner as illustrated in Fig. 1. After the tie is thus positioned and arranged on the wearer, the tab I5 of the zipper fastening means I2 is slid to its open position illustrated in Fig. 4, the lower end of the small end It of the tie l is then inserted within the folds at the back surface of the large end 9, and the tab I5 is slid up to its closed position, illustrated in Fig. 3, thereby securely locking the small end I ll within the folds of the large end 9. I
It will readily be apparent that when the tie ends are positioned as above described, the small end II] is securely held in place and is prevented from shifting or moving outof place. Furthermore, the two tie ends, thus united, present a construction whereby their combined weight serves to stiffen and reinforce them and thus prevent the tie from being easily blown about. For some purposes this construction will be sufficient to retain the tie ends in position. However, some may desire additional means for holding the tie in position by anchoring it to the wearers shirt.
Accordingly I have provided the hook IE on the tab I5 of the zipper fastener I2. The hook I6 is adapted to engage a shirt button IT, for anchoring the tie to the shirt of the wearer with the ends locked together, as previously described. Attention is directed to the fact that the hook I6 may be readily slid either up or down, in order that it may be moved to engage the shirt button located in the most advantageous position.
When the tie is untied and removed from the wearer, the zipper [2 may be opened, the former I8 may be inserted, and then the zipper l 2 may be closed, thus tightly drawing the tie over the former l8 for eliminating wrinkles formed in the tie during the time it was worn.
1 It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that my invention may be variously changed or modified, Without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing the advantages thereof, and that the present embodiment of my invention is illustrative only, and that my invention is not limited thereto.
I claim:
1. In combination with a shirt having buttons along the front thereof, the combination of, a necktie including a large end and a small end connected by a neck encircling portion, comprising a large end having the material separated on the rear surface thereof forming a pocket, fastening means adapted to open and close said pocket, whereby the pocket may be opened and the small end inserted therein and the pocket may then be closed, for holding the small end within the large "end, said fastening means :being provided with means adapted to selectively embrace one of said buttons, for anchoring said large tie end to one of said buttons, for holding said tie in place.
2. In combination with a shirt having buttons along the front thereof, the combination of, a necktie, of the type described, including a large end and a small end connected by a neck encircling portion, comprising a large end having the material separated on the rear surface thereof forming a longitudinally extending pocket, slidable fastening means adapted to open and close said pocket, whereby the pocket may be opened and the small end inserted therein and the pocket may then be closed, for holding the small end within the large end, said slidable fastening means being provided with a hook-shaped handle, arranged to be positioned to selectively embrace a button, for anchoring the large tie end carrying the small tie end to a button, for holding said tie in place.
