SIMULATED BOW TIE Filed Oct. 13, 1958 & II N FIG.3 r"
INVENTORS. JOSEPH BORNSTE/N LEONARD BORNSTE/N United States atentO 3,022,515 SIMULATED BOW TIE Joseph Bornstein, Boston, Mass. (105 Lanark Road, Brookline, Mass.); Leonard Bernstein, Boston, Mass. (728 Morton St., Mattapan, Mass); and Amalia Bornstein, Boston, Mass. (105 Lanai-k Road, Brookline, Mass.)
Filed Oct. 13, 1958, Ser. No. 766,923 1 Claim. (Cl. 7r 151) This invention relates to bow ties. In panticular it relates to simulated bow ties adapted to be attached to the collar of a shirt.
Because the conventional bow tie requires skill in order to fashion a smooth uniform knot, simulated bow ties have been devised which are preformed into a permanent bow and are attached by metal clips to the opposite edges of a shirt collar. However, such simulated bow ties cannot be cleaned, except with great dithculty.
One object of this invention is to provide a simulated bow tie which can be readily dissembled for cleaning.
Other objects and a fuller understanding of our invention may be had by referring to the following description and claim, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which FIG. 1 shows an unfolded blank from which the body of the tie is fashioned.
FIG. 2 shows the blank longitudinally folded.
FTG. 3 shows the body after transverse folding and stapling.
FIG. 4 shows the body after longitudinal pleating and stapling.
FIG. 5 shows the knot piece and the clip.
FIG. 6 shows the clip inserted in the body.
REG. 7 shows a back view of the assembled tie with the knot piece in position. 1
FIG. 8 shows a front view of FIG. 7.
FiG. 9 shows a variation of the knot piece.
The device consists of a bow body, a removable knot piece and a removable clip. The body is fashioned from a rectangular strip of material which for many conventional bow ties to be simulated is about 3-4 times greater in length than in width. The strip is bifolded longitudinally, has positioning holes punched adjacent its ends, is folded transversely, has its ends fastened together, and is provided with a center longitudinal pleat stapled in position. The knot piece is also fashioned from a rectangular piece of folded material provided with cooperating fastening means on its ends. The clip has arms adapted to 'be inserted into the apertures formed by the holes punched in the material. After the transverse folding, these holes are spaced from each other a distance equal to the distance between the arms of the clip. The knot piece is adapted to encircle both the central portion of the body and the central portion of the clip and when fastened in position covers all the inserted fastening means and aligns the bow with the clip.
The material of construction of the body bow is important. It must have both flexibility and stiffness. An especially useful material is plastic sheeting embossed with the desired ornamentation, as for example plastics made in substantial proportion from vinyl halides. Such plastics, in addition to their structural characteristics are usually water-resistant and hence can be cleaned by use of soap or detergent and Water. Fabric coated with plastic may also be used. Uncoated fabrics may also be used if a weave or construction providing both flexibility and stiffness.
Referring to the drawings, the simulated tie therein shown as one embodiment of our invention comprises a body portion fashioned as shown in FIG. 1 from a blank comprising a rectangular strip of vinyl plastic sheeting 11 hoe having longitudinal edges 13 and 14 and transverse edges 15 and 16; the length of edges 13 and 14 being approximately 3 /2 times the length of edges 15 and 16.
With the right side of the material down, the edges 13 and 14 are folded over along lines A and B until they abut along the back longitudinal center line. Y
Adjacent to the ends 15 and 16 are holes 12 and semicircular notches 12a as shown in FIG. 1, formed by punching through the folded material.
A longitudinal staple 17 is then inserted parallel and contiguous to fold B and overlapping edges 15 and 16.
Another longitudinal staple 18 is then inserted parallel and contiguous to fold A and also overlapping edges 15 and 16 are shown in FIG. 3.
A short temporary longitudinal fold is made near the center and along the back longitudinal center line of the tie so that fold A registers with fold B. A staple 19 is inserted parallel to the longitudinal center line and contiguous to it passing through material at four locations, adjacent to edge 13, twice through material, and adjacent to edge 14 as shown in FIG. 4.
This stapling of the material forms pleats on the front of the bow and provides alignment means for the arms of a supporting device.
As shown in FIG. 5 the clip 29 comprises a body portion 23 with a finger 230 at each end and a pair of depressed infolded tabs 24 at the center adapted to receive the pivotal mountings 24a. Aligned with the body portion 23 is a clamping portion 22 having fingers 22a cooperable respectively with fingers 23a and bowed at the center. The operation of fingers 22a with respect to fingers 23a is accomplished by means of a pair of arms 21, each of which is provided on one end with an upper outwardly deflected lug with pivots on their outer edges mounted as at 24a. These lugs engage the undersurfaces of the clamping fingers 22a and are adapted to force the latter against the fingers 23a when the arms 21 are moved outwardly. The free end 2111 of each arm 21 is adapted to be inserted into apertures 12 when blank has been completely folded and assembled as described.
A separate knot piece 25 is fashioned from a small rectangular blank of the tie materials and folded inwardly so that the longitudinal edges abut on the back as shown in FIG. 5. Contiguous to the ends of portion 25 are placed a male portion 26 and a female portion 27 of a snap fastener.
In assembly, the arms 21 are inserted into apertures 12 of the assembled body as shown in FIG. 6. The knot piece 25 is then wrapped completely around the assembled body 11 and around the center portion of the clip 20.
The knot piece may also be assembled as a looping band by stapling as shown in FIG. 9 and slipped into position over one of the looped ends with the staple in the rear until it is positioned in the center of the assembled body and clip, encircling both body and clip.
While the preferred embodiment of our invention has been described in detail, it will be understood that we do not wish to be limited to the particular construction set forth, since various changes in the form, material, proportions, and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the inven tion, or destroying any of the advantages contained in the same, heretofore described and defined in the following claim.
We claim:
The process of fabricating a bow tie consisting of providing a rectangular blank of flexible and stiff material face downward, bending the upper and lower edges inwardly sothat they meet along the back longitudinal center line, punching a hole adjacent each end along said center line, each of said holes being the same distance from its respective end, folding the ends inwardly so that they meet along the back transverse center line, inserting a longitudinal staple parallel and adjacent the upperedge of the so-bent blank, inserting another longitudinal staple parallel and adjacent the lower edge of the 10 so-hent blank, both said staples overlapping said bent-in ends, making a short longitudinal central pleat along the back ofthe longitudinal center line, inserting a longitudinal staple along said pleat so as to maintain it in;
position, inserting the arms of a supporting clip into said holes, and encircling the central part of the how, and the central part of the supporting clip with a recta ngular knot piece.
