Cee z'Z/M Wilson BY Patented July 17, .1951
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE I Y *2,561,003 n NECKTIE KNOT HOLDER Cecil L. Wilson, Portland, Oreg.
Application July 30, 1948, Serial No. 41,583
v y. 1 Claim.
My? invention relates'to'necktie knot holders and more particularly to knot holders for the knots of four-in-hand neckties. As is wellknown, the usual four-in-hand necktie knot is tied around an inner free end of the tie and is sldable thereon. After a four-in-hand necktie has been tied several times, the knot is relatively freely slidable on the inner free end of the tie whereby the knot will sag away from the collar opening of a shirt and present an unsightly appearance.
With the foregoing in view, it is an object of my invention to provide a knot holder for fourin-hand ties which will prevent such sagging of the knot.
A further object is to provide an improved knot holder of the class described which is slidable on the inner free end of the necktie and concealed by the outer free end of the necktie.
A further object is to provide a clasp which is relatively narrow in lateral directions and which is resiliently slidable on the inner free end of the necktie, said clasp including portions engageable with the knot upon upward sliding of the clasp whereby to prevent downward sliding of the knot on the inner free end of the necktie.
A further object is to provide a knot holder such as that last described which includes means for retarding sliding of the clasp on the inner free end of the necktie and likewise includes an upward projection insertible in the knot to prevent lateral displacement of the clasp from the inner free end of the necktie once the clasp has been placed in a knot-holding position.
Other objects and advantages reside in the particular structure of the invention, combination and arrangement of the several parts thereof, and will be readily understood by those skilled in the art upon reference to the attached drawing in connection with the following specification, wherein the invention is shown, described and claimed.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a front view of the knot holder according to the invention showing the same applied to the inner free end of a necktie;
Figure 2 is a rear elevation of a knot holder according to the invention apart from the necktie;
Figure 3 is a side elevation of the knot holder looking from the right of Figure l, the knot holder being shown apart from the necktie;
Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view taken substantially on the plane of line 4--4 of Figure 2.
Referring specically to the drawing, wherein like reference characters have been used throughout the several views to designate like parts, III designates any suitable shirt collar and I I any suitable four-in-hand necktie including a knot I2, an outer free end I3 and an inner free end I4. In this particular form of knot, the same is generally slidable on the inner free end I4 of the necktie.
A clasp I5 is resiliently engageable with the inner free end I4 of the necktie and is slidable thereon upwardly and downwardly to engage and release the knot I2. The clasp I5 is relatively narrow in lateral directions whereby the same is adapted to be concealed by the front free end I3 of the necktie. The clasp I5 is preferably made from a single piece of resilient wire and includes a rear portion I6 which is substantially C-shaped and comprises a vertical web I'I and a pair of substantially parallel upper and lower arms I8 and I9, respectively. The free ends of the arms I8 and I9 are connected by means of forwardly directed reverse loops 20 and 2|, respectively, to the front portion 22 of the clasp. The front portion 22 includes an upper portion 23 which engages the knot I2 upon upward sliding of the clasp on the inner free end I4 whereby to prevent downward sliding of the knot I2. Likewise, such upper portion 23 of the clasp includes an upwardly directed projection 24 which is insertible in the knot I4 to prevent lateral displacement of the clasp from the inner free end I4 of the tie.
Rear clasp portion I6 is provided with a backing plate 25 which spans the upper and lower arms I8 and I9. Likewise, the backing plate 25 is provided with a plurality of forwardly extending projections 25 which engage the rear surface of the rear free end I4 of the necktie to retard sliding of the clasp thereon. The front clasp portion 22 includes an inwardly or rearwardly offset clasp member 21 which cooperates with the backing plate 25 to resiliently clasp the inner free end I4 of the tie therebetween.
As shown in Figure 3, a lower edge portion of the outer or forward clasp member 22 is outwardly inclined as at 28 to facilitate the application of the clasp to the inner free `end I4 of the necktie.
In operation, the diverged corner 28 of the clasp is applied to the inner free end I4 of the necktie and the clasp thereafter seated on such free end, as indicated in full lines, Figure 1. Thereafter, the clasp is slid upwardly on the free end I4 to the broken line position at which point the upper portion or shoulder 23 engages the lower edge of the knot I2 to prevent downward slipping of the same. Likewise, as shown in Consequently, I do not limit myself to the pre; cise structure as shown and describedA herein` above except as hereinafter claimed.
I claim:
A knot-holding device for a four-in-hand-.necktie having a knot and depending' free' ends coinprising a length of resilient wire bent upon" itself defining a C-shaped rear clasp element, an oval front clasp element: connected toA the free. endsof 'said G-shaped'- element clampinglillfv engagea/ble therewith for clamping engagement on one end of said tie, and an upwardly-convergent wedge member above said oval element extending upwardly above said C-shaped element for engagement in the knot.
