NECKTIE Filed Feb. 27, .1940
Patented Apr. 14, 1942 UNITED sir 'NECKTIE Albert 'F. Snyder, Troy, and. Morris Solomon, Albany, N. Y., assignors to Cluett, Peabody & 00., Inc., Troy, N. Y., a corporation of New York Application February 27, 1940, Serial No. 321,005"
3 Claims. (Cl; 2-146) This invention relates to an improvement in'a necktie of the four-in-hand type and more particularly to a necktie of that type so constructed that, whentied, it will have that draped effect which provides an artistic appearance exhibiting to the fullest extent the lustre and pattern of fine textile fabric through accentuation of contrasts of light and shade. One desired draped effect is that in which the lateral margins of the tie, just below the knot, form forwardly convex ridges disposed at opposite sides of a longitudinal tear-shaped concavity central of the width of the tie, such concavity being commonly referred to as a dimple. I
In tying a necktieso as to make certain the production of such a dimple, the wearer proceeds as follows, first, the wide end of the tie is carried 1 over and under the narrow .end, passed up between the transverse portion of the tie material and the front of the collar, and then down through the loop formedby its first crossing of the narrow end portion. Second, to ensure the formation of thedimple, the margins of the Wider end, immediately below'the partially formed knot,
I are seized by the thumb, forefinger and middle tying the tie, even if he be informed as to the proper procedure, which is probably true of but a small percentage of the persons who wear such ties. Eve-n though the above procedure be followed, the desired result are not always produced, since the material of some ties does not seem readily to assume the dimpled appearance; and moreover even if properly tied initially, the tie may gradually lose its dimpled appearance due to slippage of the knot or to the relative movements of the tie and the outer garments of the wearer.
Various proposals have heretofore been made whereby, without the exercise of especial care on the part of the wearer, the above desired draped effect may be obtained. These proposals may be for convenience divided into two groups. The first group calls for the employment of accesseries such as suitably shaped plates, bands, rings or the like which are inserted in and concealed by the knot and which due to their formation or their action upon the insure the provision I of this draped effect. The second groupcalls for 7 changes in the construction .of' the necktie itself, e. g. sewing together of the portion which produces the dimple, or increasing the thickness or stiffness of the'lining at the marginal edges thereof and thus promoting the formation of the forwardly convex ridgesat opposite sidesof the dimple.
The present invention falls in the second group andhas as its primary object the provision of a necktie in which the portion of the lining behind the longitudinal center of the dimple is slitted so that'as the necktie is being tied thelining will separate at the base of thed-imple thus facilitating its initial formation, and, when the knot has been tied, insuring theretention of the dimple in the tie. Since it is desirable in the trade that the necktie, when displayed in a store as on e. rack, appears to the prospective purchaser to be a tie of the usual construction, the lining at the portion so treatediis preferably reinforced so that existence of the slit is not apparent. As will be pointed outhereinbelow the slit may be formed either in the main lining or in the reinforcement thereof.
, These and other objects of the invention will be apparent from a consideration of the following description and of the accompanying drawing which forms a part thereof, and in which-- Fig. 1 illustrates a necktie embodying this inthe line 33 on Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional view illustrating the portion shown in Fig. 3 when untied;
Figs. 5 and 6 are views, similar to Figs. 3 and 4, of a modification of this invention;
Fig. '7 is an enlarged view of a lining in which the slot is woven; and
Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate portions of a necktie embodying another modification of this'invention.
The necktie shown in the drawing is of the usual external appearance having a wide or exposed end portion it), a narrow end portion II and a neckband portion I2. The tie includes a lining 15 between the front and rear plies of the tie fabric in accordance with a practice commonly followed by tie manufacturers.
In that portion of the tie at which the knot 2:; r 2,279,845 should be tied the lining I5 is provided with a 5111;
I6 and associated with that slit is provided a. reinforce lining H which covers the slitted portion as indicated in Fig. 1. When the tie is flat as in Fig. 1 the edges of the slit l6 abut, 5
closing the slit so that its presence will not be evident. The reinforce linin I! further acts to conceal the slit (see Fig. 4).
When the necktie is tied (seeFig. 2) there is formed below the knot 20 a. dimple 2| bounded 10 oneach side by anoutwardly convex ridge 22. As shown in Fig. 3 the walls of the slit I6 in the I lining l5 separate at the base of the dimple. The
open space due to the separation of such walls guides the formation of the dimple 2| and insures that it will always appear midway between the side edges of the necktie.
Should it be desired the reinforce lining l1 and not the main lining l5 may be slitted. Figs.
5 and 6 illustrate this modification with a slit in the reinforce ,lining I1.
The lining may be slitted by cutting the fabric or may be wovenas is the slit 26 shown in Fig. 7. The advantage of the woven slit is that no rough edges are left and hence there is no weakening 25 of the slitted lining or danger of raveling and consequent enlargement of the slit.
Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate the main lining 40 and reinforce lining 4| of a necktie embodying another modification of this invention. Inplace 30 of the continuous slit [6 the mid center of the lining is weakened by a non-continuous slit 42 so that it will tend to bend along the mid center, line. The reinforce lining II which is secured at the side edges to the main lining 40, is wider than the main lining and is given definite pre-set creases 43, and 45. The crease 431s at the mid center line of the necktie and the creases and 45 are half way between the crease 43 and side edges of the lining. creases .are so 'set that when the necktie is knotted'it tends to form a dimple below the knot as is shown in Fig. 2.
The essence of this invention is the provision in the lining of a necktie at the knot forming portion of the tie, of a slit whereby the formation' of a dimple below the knot is insured and The 40 while there have. been disclosed several ways of attaining this result, it will be understood that the invention is not limited thereto since other ways might be employed without departing from the spirit'and scope of the invention as set forth in the annexed claims.
We claim:
1. A lined necktie of the four-in-hand type so constructed that when knotted, a dimple is formed below the first knot and midway between the side edges of the necktie, and wherein the lining is provided at the knotting area of the necktie with a longitudinally extending slit midway between the side edges thereof, the walls of which slit, when thenecktie is fiat, normally abut so that the presence of the slit is not apparent and when the necktie is knotted, separate to provide an open space at the base of the dimple and guide the formation thereof.
' 2. A necktie of the four-in-hand type so constructed that when knotted, a dimple is formed below the knot and midway between the side edges of the necktie,'said necktie having a main lining and a reinforcing lining, and one of said linings being provided at the knotting area of the'necktie with a longitudinally extending slit midway betwen the side edges thereof, the walls of which slit, when the necktie is flat, normally abut so that the presence of the slit is not apparent and when the necktie is knotted, separate tOfpI'OVide an open space at the base of the dimple and guide the formation thereof.
3. A necktie of thefour-in-hand type so con-,
' structed that when knotted, a dimple is formed
