PARKER H. REVV, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.

NECKTI E-FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 256,740, dated April 18, 1882.

Application filed September 24, 1881. (Model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1,.PARKER H. REW, of tochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York. have invented a new and Improved Necktie-Fastenin g, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

The object of my invention is to facilitate attaching a necktie bow or scarf to the front collar-button.

The invention consists of a wire bow-spring held loosely to the back of the stifi'ening of the necktie-bow for the purpose of holding the bow or scarf to the collar-button.

The invention further consists in a wire loopspring formed of a wire bent to form two side loops and a middleloop, t-heends of the wire being crossed diagonally under the middle loop.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal elevation of the rear side of a necktie-bow provided with my improved fastening, the collar-button being shown in section. Fig.2 is a lougitudinalelevation of the wire spring of my improved necktietastening. Fig. 3 is a horizental sectional elevation of the necktie-stiffening, showing the loop or staple for holding the spring to the necktie-stifleniug.

A spring, A, is formed of wire, which is bent to form the side loops, B B, from which the ends 0 of the wire extend downward diagonally and cross each other, that portion ofthe wire spring between the loops B B being bent upward above the crossingofthe endsO to form a loop, D... The crossed ends 0 of the spring A are passed through a loop or staple, E, at tached to and projectiugfrom the back of the stiffening-plate F of the necktie-bow G. The spring is made of spring brass or steel wire. The springis designed to take the place of the rubber loop for fastening a necktie bow or scarf to a collar-button.

The operation is as follows: If the bow is to be fastened to the collar'button H, the edge of the head of the button is passed under the loop D and the bow is pulled downward and pressed toward the button H, whereby the head of the button will be passed through the loop D. The bow is then released, and the spring, which was shortened in the direction of its length by pulling down the bow, will spread, whereby the bow G will be raised, and the shank of the button H will be held between the upper wire of the loop D and the staple E, or between the upper wireofthe loopD and the crossed ends 0.

To remove the bow all that is necessary is to pull it downward and move it outward and upward. By pulling down the bow the loop D is enlarged sufficiently to permit the shank and head of the button H to pass out of the loop. If desired, the loop D may also be enlarged by pressing the ends O of the wire together.

The within-described device can also be used for fastening other neckwear-such as scarfs, Sac-provided with astiEfeniug-plate to the collar-buttou.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. Thccombiuation, with thenecktie-bow G, of the wire loop-spring A and the loop or staple E, attached to the bow, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. The wire loop-spring A, made substantially as herein shown and described, and consisting of a wire bent to form two side loops, B B, and a middle loop, D. the ends C of the wire being crossed diagonally under the loop D, as set forth.

PARKER HENRY HEW.
