4: I Claims.

This invention relates to improvements in neck--- ties and the method by which they are made;

The object'of the present invention is to provide' a necktie which, due to-its construction; is exceptionally durable, and inwhich theinterlining'is so secured that it cannot become-twisted with respect tothe outer fabric and the necktie can undergo repeated cleanings or' wa-shings and will maintain its original shape;

Another object of theinvention is to provide in such a necktie a closed end sothat the-various plies of the front end of the tie cannot become bunched and unsightly, but the tie will always liefiat.

A further object of'the'invention is to provide necktie construction by which several different shapes may be given the front endsof the neckties as desired while using a single stock-"blank for all shapes.

A still further object of the invention is theprovision of procedural steps of operation whereby neckties of the desired constructiomcan" be formed. I

Other objects of the invention will becomeapparent from the followingdescription of'one embodiment of the invention when taken inconjunction with the drawings which accompany and form a part of this specification;

In the drawings: a

Figures '7, 8 and 9' are all similar views showing the next or cutting operation for the formation of ends of different shapes;

Figure 10 is a perspective view of the small or back end of the tie showingthehemmed edge;

Figure 11 is a perspective view of the completed necktie; and,

Figure 12 is a section taken: line: [21-42 the tie, the" covering material being closed by seams at all points exceptat the bottom. ofthe small or back end of the-tiee Referring to the drawingsintdetail, thablank for-the outer material. is madafrom tworseetions I and 2 sewn together: slantingseam st re bringits edges into coincidence.

i-nfthe usual manner. The blank is of conventional shape insofar as having a center section with parallel sides and end sections which flare outwardly with one end section being longer than. theother, but diiiers from the conventional blank in-having'its large end somewhat longer than usual and both ends out perpendicularly to the longitudinal center line of the blank.

The-first stepin the construction of the tie is to fold'the-blank along its longitudinal center line lining 4-,- of substantially the shape which the finished tie will have, is placed upon the folded blank with its longitudinal center line parallel to the superposed free edges of the folded blank and: spaced just slightly inward therefrom. It will be notedfrom Figure 3 that the interlining 4 is shorter than the outer material so that whenplaced thereonits ends arespaced from the ends ofthe co-vermaterial A line of'stitching 5 is then run from one end of the superposed pieces of material. to the other, the stitching running aIong-the'longitudinal center line of the interlining 4. This closes the edges of the outer material and forms this material into a tube.

In the next-operation, the outer material, which is now joined to the interlining, is manipulated laterally'until'the seam 5 is positioned midway between the-edgesof the folded material and the interlining is centered" with respect to the outer material. When this has been done a transverse line ofstitching 6- is' run near the front end of the interlini'ng, the stitching passingv through the interlining and outer material so as to hold all of the sectionsof material in their proper positions during the remaining steps of the tie construction; Anend of thread-l is left free to form apull thread so that'this line of stitching may be removedafterthe tie has been completed.

Itisa purpose of" this invention to completely close-the front end. of. the tie, and to accomplish this the sections of the outer material; are stitched together from side edge to side edge along a line 8 just below the loweredge of the interlining. This'stitching may be in the form of" a V if the conventional pointed end tieis desired as shown in Figures 5 and 8, or it may be curved as shown in Figure 7 or a straight transverse line perpendicular to the longitudinal centor-line of, the tie if a square. end tie is desired as shown Figure: 9. 'In any event, the inner lining: is cutto thedesired shape before being applied totheouter material and the line of. stitching-8 follows" the contour" of the interlining Thislineof stitching passes through the thick-rnesses of the; outer material only and does not catch the end, of" theinterlining. After the end has beenstitched, the excess outer material iscut: away. just below'theline of stitching 8 the out: following the. contour of the line of stitching.- The manner of cutting away excess material for: ties of. several shapes; is: shown; at e in. Figures 7;. 8 and; 9a.- Aiter. the; excess; ma?

An inter terial has been removed, thread 1 may be pulled to remove stitching 6, as the line of stitching 8 will now hold the outer material against movement.

After the above steps have been completed, the outer material at the small end of the tie is folded back upon itself, as shown at ill in Figure 10, and stitched to form a hem. The outer tubular material is then reversed by turning the material back at the small end and stuffing the remainder of the material through this end so that the interlining is positioned between the plies of the outer material and all of the raw edges of material at the seams are on the inside. The tie is then completed except for pressing.

A necktie made by this method has its interlining firmly fixed in place throughout the full length of the tie so that it cannot become twisted, for its longitudinal center line is caught in the seam of the outer material and will remain centered with respect to the covering material. The large, or front, end of the tie is completely closed so that its edges cannot become turned back and. unsightly, and the interlining cannot come out to mar the appearance of the tie. These features add greatly to the appearance and durability of the tie, and permit repeated cleaning or washing without changing the original appearance or shape.

While in the above there has been described one embodiment of the invention, it will be understood that changes may be made from the precise disclosure without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

What is claimed is:

1. In a necktie, an outer fabric and an interlining, the outer fabric being folded around the interlining to encompass the interlining and having its longitudinal edges turned inward, a line of stitching passing through the interlining and the inturned edges of the outer fabric and extending longitudinally the full length of the necktie to unite the outer fabric and form a tube, said line of stitching being midway between the sidewalls of the encompassing outer fabric to center the interlining therein, the bottom of said tube having its edges infolded, and a second line of stitching running across said first line of stitching extending from edge to edge of said outer fabric uniting only the bottom infolded edges of said tubular outer material to prevent transverse shifting of the outer fabric to displace the first line of stitching and the interlining secured therein.

2. A method of necktie construction comprising, folding a pre-cut outer material blank along its longitudinal center line to bring the side edges of the blank into coincidence, placing a pre-cut interlining upon the folded blank with the longi-- tudinal center line of the interlining parallel to and spaced inwardly from the superposed free longitudinal edges of the outer material blank, stitching through the interlining and superposed plies of the outer material along the longitudinal center line of the interlining from one end of the outer material to the other to join the edges of the outer material and form a tube, adjusting the outer material laterally with respect to the interlining to center the interlining thereon, stitching through the superposed layers of the outer material below the end of the interlining and transversely of the outer material to close the lower end of the tube and prevent transverse shifting of the line of stitching joining the edges of the outer fabric, and reversing the tubular outer material.

3. A method of necktie construction comprising, folding a pre-cut outer material blank along its longitudinal center line to bring the side edges of the blank into coincidence, placing a pre-cut interlining upon the folded blank with the longitudinal center line of the interlining parallel to and spaced inwardly from the superposed free longitudinal edges of the outer material blank, stitching through the interlining and superposed plies of the outer material along the longitudinal center line of the lining from one end of the outer material to the other to join the edges of the outer material and form a tube, adjusting the outer material laterally with respect to the interlining to center the interlining thereon, placing a line of removable stitching through the interlining and superposed plies of the outer material transversely to the direction of the first line of stitching, stitching through the plies of the outer material from side edge to side edge below the end of the interlining along a line parallel to the bottom contour of the interlining delineating the desired contour of the bottom end of the necktie to hold the plies of the outer fabric against transverse shifting, pulling out the removable stitching and reversing the tubular outer material.

4. A method of necktie construction comprising, folding a pre-cut outer material blank along its longitudinal center line to bring the side edges of the blank into coincidence, placing a pre-cut interlining upon the folded blank with the longitudinal center line of the interlining parallel to and spaced inwardly from the superposed free longitudinal edges of the outer material blank, stitching through the interlining and superposed plies of the outer material along the longitudinal center line of the lining from one end of the outer material to the other to join the edges of the outer material and form a tube, adjusting the outer material laterally with respect to the interlining to center the interlining thereon, placing a line of removable stitching through the interlining and superposed plies of the outer material transversely to the direction of the first line of stitching, stitching through the plies of the outer material from side edge to side edge below the end of the interlining along a line parallel to the bottom contour of the interlining delineating the desired contour of the bottom end of the necktie to hold the plies of the outer fabric against transverse shifting, pulling out the removable stitching, cutting off the excess outer material below the last mentioned line of stitching, and reversing the tubular outer material.
