t g. 2Claims. 1.1:
This invention relates to and has for an object, the provision of a combined tie holder and press, by means of which a plurality of ties may be supported in flatwise positions in a common holder which, when closed, will serve to' remove wrinkles and creases from ties not in use, and will afford ready access for the removal of ties therefrom.
This invention comprehends the provision of a combined tie holder and press which, in its broadest aspect, includes an accordion-like body, preferably, but not necessarily, formed of a single piece ofreasonably stifi,..durable materia1 and with a series of flat sections of uniform size which are alternately extended in oppositely inclined directions and between which tie holding leaves are arranged and so formed as to support ties against lateral removal therefrom.
An object, also, is to provide a tie holder and press of the character mentioned which includes a sheet, or sheets, of material attached to the body at a requisite number of points for limiting the expansion of the body as when the holder is opened for the insertion or removal of ties therefrom.
A further object is to provide suitable means for securing the extremities of the body together when the body is contracted, so as to compress the contents of the holder.
Another object is to provide a suitable cover for the body and its contained ties which serves to enclose the body and ties when it is closed and yet affords access for the removal of a desired tie without being opened. Other objects may appear as the description progresses.
I have shown a preferred form of structure embodyin my improvements in the accompanying drawing, subject, however, to modification within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of the invention. In said drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a combined tie press and holder embodying my improvements and shown in collapsed and closed position;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same partly open;
Fig. 3 is an end view of the same inverted from the position shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary prespective view of the same shown in section on an enlarged scale; and
Fig. 5 is an end view with the body and leaves extended as for the purpose of placing ties therein.
Briefly described, a combined press and holder of preferred form, as shown in the drawing, in;- cludes a cover A, an accordion-like body'B suitably attached to the cover, a plurality of freely adjustable leaves C" "intermediate the pleats "of the bodyjand a foldable bottom member D at; tached to body Barid adapted to limit theextension of the pleats of the body as well as'to reinforce the body. r
- Cover 'A is book-like with a 'front portion"l a back portionl, an intermediate portion 3 and a similar but oppositely formed intermediate portion 4 to which a flap 5 is attached and adapted, when the holder is closed, tounderlie the front I and to be detachably secured tosaid front as by means of snap fasteners 6 oi which there may be two or more. At the joints between the herein mentioned portions of the cover, the material is creased as at 1 in order that the cover may be readily opened and extended for any purpose.
Referring particularly to Fig. 5, it will be noted that body B is formed of a continuous strip of material which is foldable at uniformly spaced points to provide the alternating and oppositely inclined portions b, b, etc., the folding lines 01' the body being indicated at 8 and 9. Inasmuch as it is desirable to minimize the weight and bulk of the holder, I may form the body B, leaves C and bottom 9 of a similar material, such as fibre board of requisite stifiness but minimum thickness. In such case I may reinforce the body at the points 8 and 9 or only at points 9, as may be necessary, as by means of fabric tape (Fig. 4).
In a somewhat similar manner I may attach corresponding marginal portions of the leaves C to the upper surfaces of the body B at the joints 9 by strips of tape I I; also, the alternate folds l2 and I3 of the bottom D may have strips of tape M applied thereto, so as to underlie the points -9 of the body and at the joints between the folds or pleats l2 and I3, for the purpose of providing durability.
As shown, particularly in Fig. 2, corresponding ends of the leaves C are provided with wide recesses I 5 all of which are opened the same end of the holder and adapted to receive the central portions of ties T so as to holdthe opposite end portions 0n opposite sides of the leaves and in flatwise positions. The recesses I 5 are shallow but of sufiicient depth to prevent the displacement of the ties laterally of their supporting leaves C. As a matter of fact, the centraI portions of the ties are readily accessible from the same end of the holder for removal at'will without actually opening the holder.
It may be noted that the bottom D is formed with the pleats l2--l3 thereof which are substantially narrower than the corresponding portions b, b, of the body B. Thus, when the holder is fully extended and portions l2 and I3 of the bottom are in the same horizontal plane, the portions b, b, of the body will still be disposed at substantialangles relative to each other, and the leaves 6 will at such time be substantially vertical, as shown in Fig. 5. When removing or inserting a tie it is not always necessary to completely open the holder, at least to the ex-- tent shown in Fig. 5, inasmuch as it will be apparent that when the cover A is unfastened and partially extended, itis necessary only to expand that portion of the body between adjacent pleats sufiiciently to remove one tie and replace it with another, after which the cover is again closed and fastened and all of. the ties therein-will be simultaneously pressed for further use. What Icl-aim is: p
1. A combined tie press and holder comprising:
afoldable' cover, a first accordion-like member formed of leaves alternately hinged at opposite margins, the initial leaf being secured to a section of the cover, intermediate leaves foldably secured to and between adjacent leaves of said first member for supporting ties, and a second accordion-like member also having leaves foldably connected to the leaves of said first member at: corresponding junctional points, for limiting the extension of the leaves of said first member when the holder isopened, the leaves of said second member being of lesser width than and adapted to nest between adjacent leaves of said first member when the holder is closed.
2. A combined tie press and holder comprising: a foldable cover, a first accordion-like member formed of leaves alternately hinged at opposite margins, the initial leaf being secured to a section of the cover, intermediate leaves foldably secured to anibetween adjacent leaves of said first member for supporting ties, and a second accordion-like member also having leaves foldably connected to the leaves of said first member at corresponding junctional points, f or limiting the extension of the leaves of said first member when the holder is opened, the leaves of said second member being of lesser width than and adapted to nest between adjacent leaves of said first member when the holder is closed, the differencein width between the leaves of the first and second members being such as to permit the extension of the first member horizontally when the cover is disposed fiatwise on a surface so as to afford access to all of the ties carried by the intermediateleaves. v r
