Description
May 24, 1 955 H. s. MEYER TIE CREASING DEVICE Filed on. 20. 1952 V I INVENTOR. X42040 522 054! mya? jjm Unitfid States atent TIE CREASING DEVICE Haroid George Meyer, North Branch, N. J. Application October 20, 1952, Serial No. 315,687
1 Claim. (Cl. 2-153) This invention relates to tie creasing devices.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a tie creasing device which, when used, will insure the formation of an attractive crease in the front, visible flap of the tie extending downwardly from the base of the knot.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a tie creasing device of the above type which is adapted to fit under the outer fold of the tie knot and which is therefore invisible to an observer, the device at its back being provided with a concave recess adapted to receive the convex body of the knot.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a tie creasing device of the above type which includes a pair of juxtaposed, spherical enlargements adapted to be resiliently spread apart whereby to receive the pleated center of the visible front flap of the tie therebetween, thus providing an attractive crease extending downwardly from the base of the knot.
Other objects of the present invention are to provide a tie creasing device bearing the above objects in mind which is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, has a minimum number of parts, is compact, light and easy to use.
For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. l is a perspective view of a tie creasing device embodying the features of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a tie being knotted about the collar and showing the manner of inserting the invention before completing the knot;
Fig. 3 is a front elevational view of the tie shown in Fig. 2 after completion of the knot and showing the device in operative position behind the outer fold of the knot;
Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view taken along line 4-4 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view taken along line 5-5 of Fig. 4 and Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 5 but showing an alternate method of creasing the tie.
Referring more in detail to the drawing, in which similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, there is shown a tie creasing device, referred to collectively as 10, and consisting of a band of spring metal 11, substantially circular in shape, the ends of said band being bent together as at 12 and being integrally formed with a pair of spherical enlargements 13 abutting each other in resilient engagement, substantially as illustrated.
The band 11 diametrically opposite from the spherical enlargements 13 is bent inwardly into a concave recess 14 adapted to receive the front body portion of the knot in a manner to be described hereinafter.
To use the device, the tie 15' is knotted about the neck below collar 16 in the usual manner, substantially as illustrated in Fig. 2. However, before passing the front, visible flap 17 downward between the outer fold 18 of knot 19 in the last operation, the flap 17 is centrally creased as at 20 and this creased portion inserted between the spread apart spherical enlargements 13, as shown in Fig. 2. The flap 17 is then brought down behind the outer fold 13, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 with the device 10 hidden therebehind, the recess 14 receiving the front of the body 19 of the knot. The tie 15 and the knot 19 are then tightened in the usual manner to provide a knot and tie having an attractive crease 20 extending downwardly from the base of the knot.
It will be noted that the sharp crease 20 is retained by the device 10, which in turn is securely retained behind the outer fold 18 and invisible to an observer.
Referring to Fig. 6, there is shown an alternate method of inserting the flap 17 between the spherical enlargements 13. Here, a pair of creases 20 are formed prior to attachment of the device 10, and result in a more pronounced vertical pleat.
It should now be apparent that there has been provided a tie creasing device which, when used, will insure the formation of an attractive crease in the front, visible flap of the tie extending downwardly from the base of the knot and which is adapted to fit under the outer fold of the knot thereby being invisible to an observer, the device at its back being provided with a concave recess adapted to snugly receive the front convex body of the knot. It should also be apparent that there has been provided a device of the above type which includes a pair of juxtaposed, spherical enlargements adapted to be resiliently spread apart whereby to receive the pleated center of the visible front flap of the tie therebetween.
While various changes may be made in the detailed construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claim:
A creasing device for a necktie comprising a substantially circular ring of resilient material, said ring being open at one point along its periphery whereby to provide a pair of resiliently separable ends, a pair of substantially spherical balls integrally formed in said ends and extending inward into the area defined by said ring and adapted to resiliently abut each other, said ring opposite from said balls being inwardly bent into a concave recess adapted to receive the front of a tie knot therewithin, said ring being adapted to rest behind the outer fold of the knot with the visible portion of the tie resiliently secured between said balls whereby to form a crease in the tie extending downwardly from the base of the tie knot.
