Charles A. Feeley Patented Jan. 7, 1947 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE' TIE LOCK FOR NECKTIES Charles A. Feeley, Rye, N. Y.
Application March 23, 1945, Serial No. 584,401
This invention relates to a tie-lock for holding a necktie in proper positi-onwith relation to the collar and for preventing the end portions of the collar from sagging and collapsing.
The device is provided with a buttonhole or a downwardly opening notch for attaching it to a front collar or shirt button and the knotted portion of the tie pressing against a central upwardly projecting tab of the device, holds the same against movement and prevents disengagement from the button.
From the central portion of the device, oppositely disposed wings project and extend under the lower edge of the tie band that encircles the neck, to provide under edge support for the band at each side of the collar button, which serves to hold the knotted portion of the tie well up, snugly under the collar. In the preferred construction, upwardly opening notches are cut in the upper edge of the Wings to receive the tie band and are so formed as to grip and bind the band and hold the same in position on the wing supports.
The outwardly extending wing tips are utilized to support and prevent the end portions of the collar from sagging and collapsing. This is accomplished by causing the wing tips to engage and exert suflicient pressure on the inside of the collar ends, to maintain and hold them against the tendency to droop more or less and lose their shape, after being worn for a time.
For use with white shirts and collars, the device is preferably made of white washable material, suitably stiffened with crinoline or the like, that can be laundered, just as collars and cufis are, to keep them presentable; and for use with colored shirts, Celluloid or Cellophane or the like may be used. I may add, however, that when the device is in use with a present day collar and tie, it is entirely concealed from view and as no part of it is visible, the material it is made of is not important.
Other structural features not specially mentioned above will be disclosed in the detail description that follows.
The accompanying drawing will serve .to illustrate several forms of the device suitable for carrying my invention into effect but I do not wish to be understood as intending to limit myself to either the exact form or details shown, as various changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as outlined in the appended claims.
In the drawing Fig. 1 is a view in front elevation, showing the 3 Claims. (Cl. 2132) 2 device properlypositioned before the necktie is tied.
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the necktie tied and snugly drawn up under the collar and Fig. 3 shows the last step of drawing the wing tips from under the tie band so that the band rests in the wing notches. In this view, .the ends of the collar are shown turned up, for clearness of illustration.
Figs. 4- to 7 are face views of; varying forms of the device;
Referring now to the drawing, for convenience in illustrating the preferred method of using the device, I have shown it applied to a shirt i, with an attached collar 2 held closed by an ordinary button 3, passed through-a buttonhole 4.
The device is designed to be removably attached, under the collar, as shown in Fig, l, to the shirt or collar button that holds the collar closed and for that purpose is provided with a suitable buttonhole 5 or notch 6, opening downward.
From the central portion of the device, there are oppositely disposed winglike extensions 1, I, which are cut away to provide supports at 8, ii, for the under edge of the tie band 9. Preferably and for best results, these cut-away portions are in the form of upwardly opening notches M, as best shown in Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive. A slightly modified form of the notches is shown in Fig. 6, as indicated at Ill and in Fig. '7, a comparatively deep curved cutout, indicated at HP, gives more or less, the eiiect of the notches but the result is not entirely satisfactory.
Centrally of the device, above the bu-ttcnhole or notch therein, there is a broad tab l2 (see Fig. 4) which projects upwardly and fits snugly at or near the top of the collar, being held in clamped relation by and between the inner and outer folds thereof, as best shown in Fig. 1. In use, this tab, clamped as described and aided by the inward pressure of the knotted portion of the tie thereon, securely holds the'device against movement and thereby prevents it from working loose or becoming disengaged from the collar button.
The tips of the wings, indicated at H, extend outward and engage the under side of the collar, to provide support for the end portions thereof and prevent them from sagging and getting out of shape, after the collar has been worn a short time.
The preferred method of applying and using the device, is to place it under the collar, between the collar or neck band of the shirt and the tie band, and button it to the collar button, before the necktie is tied, as shown in Fig. 1. Then tie and adjust the necktie to fit well up under the collar, as shown in Fig. 2 and finally, with the finger, reach under the tie band and withdraw the tips of the wings, so they lie against the outer surface of the band and extend outward as supports for the end portions of the collar, as shown in Fig. 3. In that figure, for clearness of illustration, the end portions of the collar, which, ordinarily, would entirely conceal such portions of the device as are not covered by the tie, are turned up, to show the position of the device in use in relation to the collar and tie.
As the many important advantages of the invention will be apparent from the foregoing,.it will not be necessary to further enlarge upon .the
same.
I claim:
1. A tie-lock for securing a necktie properly knotted portion of the tie to aid in holding the device agairfst working loose and any movement tending to disengage it from the collar button.
2. A tie-lock for securing a necktie properly positioned relatively to thecollar, comprising a device formed of flat strip material and attachable to a shirt collar button, the said device having winglike projections over which the ends of the tie are passed and supported, the said winglike projections extending outwardly, in opposite directions in supporting engagement with the end portions of the outer fold of the collar above the aforesaid point of attachment, and centrally the device is provided with a broad tab which extends upwardly to approximately the upper edge of the collar, being held there in clamped relation by and between the inner and outer folds thereof, the said tab being pressed inwardly by the knotted portion of the tie to aid in holding the device against working loose and any movement tending to disengage it from the collar button.
3. A one-piece tie-lock for securing a necktie properly positioned relatively to the collar, comprising a device formed of a single length of fiat strip material and attachable to a shirt collar button, the said device, having winglike projections over which the ends of the'tie are passed and supported, the said winglike projections extending outwardly in opposite directions in sup porting engagement With the end portions of the outer fold of the collar above the aforesaid point of attachment, and spaced apart projections at the center and ends of the wings, the central projection extending upwardly to approximately the upper edge of the collar and held there in clamped relation by and between the inner and outer folds thereof, the said central projection being pressed inwardly by the knotted portion of the tie to aid in holding the device against working loose and any movement tending to disengage it from the collar button.
