1 Claim.
The present invention relates to improvements in neckwear and, more specifically, to a device which is to be worn beneath a four-in-hand type necktie and which I prefer to call a necktie tree.
One objectof the present invention is the provision of a device of the character described which will hold the tie properly in place and improve the appearance of the tie by making the knot and the upper section of the flared drape portion protrude beyond the shirt and keep the same in spaced relation to the shirt.
Another object of the present invention is the provision of a device of the character described which is worn out of sight beneath the necktie and which can be attached easily and quickly to the upper shirt button pair.
Still another object of the present invention is the provision of a device of the character described which is combined with a tie clip, so that the tie cannot be blown out of its proper position by wind nor dislocated by various body movements of the wearer.
A further object of the present invention is the provision of a device of the character described which is light in weight and simple and inexpensive in construction, but which is also durable, sturdy, and well adapted for the purpose for which it is intended.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
In the accompanying drawing the preferred forms of the invention have been shown.
In said drawing:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a preferred embodiment of my invention;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged side view of the same; and,
Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3--3 of Fig. 1.
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
In the drawing the numeral 2 denotes the archshaped main portion of a resilient blade member of plastic material, sheet metal, or the like, whose end portions 4 and 6 are flat and wider than the main portion 2. The outer extremities of the main portions 4 and 6 are angularly disposed at obtuse angles relative to the main portion 2 and provided with preferably V-shaped open slots or notches 8, and a resilient clip I0 is crosswise extended over the end portion 6 and is secured thereto by means of soldering, welding, or the like.
The notch 8 in the end portion 4 is adapted to engage the thread by which the collar button 1 2 is sewn to a shirt when the portion 4 is placed between the button I2 and the shirt. Similarly;
the notch 8 in the end portion 6 is adapted for,
engaging the thread by which the next lower shirt button I2 is sewn to the shirt. If the end portions 4 and 6 are interposed between the shirt and a pair of buttons 12, the main portion 22 will keep the knot l4 of a necktie in spaced relation to the shirt, as is indicated in dash-and-dotted lines in Fig. 2. Moreover, the lower flared drape portion of the necktie can be engaged by the clip H3, so that the tie always will be held properly in place.
The device can be attached to the shirt before or after tying the necktie.
Since certain changes may be made in the above article and different embodiments of the invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
It is also to be understood that the following claim is intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which as a matter of language might be said to fall therebetween.
Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A necktie tree comprising a longitudinal resilient blade having an arch-shaped main portion and flat upper and lower end portions which are wider than said main portion and the outer extremity of each end portion being angularly disposed at an obtuse angle to said main portion and the upper end portion being provided with a V-shaped notch while the lower end portion is provided with a notch shaped as an inverted V, and a clip member crosswise extended over and secured to the lower, end portion of said blade, the upper end portions of said blade being adapted to be interposed between the front panel of a shirt and its collar button and the lower end portion being adapted to be interposed between the front panel of said shirt and a lower button of shirt while said main portion is adapted to be placed between the shirt and the necktie so that 3 the resiliency of said blade causes the upper end portion to press from below and the lower end portion to press from above upon the respective buttons engaged by said end portions thus keeping the main portion firmly bulged and keeping 5 the upper necktie portion in spaced relation to the shirt, and said clip being adapted for engaging the flared drape portion of the necktie.
