UNITED STATESA ATENT OFFICE.
SEWELL H. NOYES, OF NEWBURYPORT, MASSACHUSETTS.
NECKTlE-FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 350,942, dated October 19, 1886.
Applic..tiou filed February 27, 1886. Serial No. 1932408. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern:
Beit known that I, SEWnLL H. Novas, of Newburyport, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts,a citizen of the United States, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Necktie-Clasps, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forniing a part of this specitication, in explaining its nature.
The invention relates to a necktie-clasp having twojaws or holding devices, one of which is fastened to the shield or back of the necktie, and the other of whichis moved horizontally ,in relation thereto, the jaws being so constructed and arranged that they are opened suiiciently to allow them to clasp the shank ofa stud or a button by the pressure of-the thumb and finger together upon the edges of the necktie-shield.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the back of a necktie provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the fastening device, tak en from the rear. Fig. 3 is a perspective view ofthe fastening, taken from the front. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section of the fastening. Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate a modification in construction, hereinafter referred to. f
A represents one or the stationary jaw of the clasp; A', the other or movable jaw. The jaws are substantial counterparts in every respect, excepting that one is movable and the other is not. Each has the curved edge a and the notch a', and each projects inward or backward from the inner surface of the shield or back, and they are upon aline with each other. The jaw A is attached to or is a part of the plate a2. This plate has the prongs or fastening projections a3, which extend into the body of the necktie shield or back and serve to fasten it securely thereto, the slot at, and the extension a5, which extends or reaches to or very nearly to one edge of the necktie back orshield. The other or movable jaw,A,is attached to or made a part of the movable plate B. This movable plate has a long slot, b, and the extension b', which reaches to or very nearly to the other edge of the necktie back or shield. It is secured to the stationary plate, either by means of headed studs b2, which pass through the slot b and are riveted in the stationary plate, so that their heads bear upon the surface of the movable plate and act to secure it thereto, and as guides in connection with the slot b in controlling its movement, or the movable plate may be secured to the stationary plate by means of flanges b3, formed upon the stationary plate, and bent or folded over upon the edge of the movable plate, as represented in Figs. 5 and 6. If this last-named construction is used, then the points or prongs a3, for fastening the stationary plate to the necktie back or shield, are formed by striking down a part of the metal to form the iong slot a, as represented in Figs. 5 and 6. The two plates are secured vtogether by the coil-spring C, which is placed within the slots a and b, and attached at one end to the stationary plate a2, and at the other end to the movable plate B, as represented in Figs. 2 to 6, inclusive.
It is substantially immaterial how the stationary plate is secured to the necktie back or shield, or howthe movable plate is fastened to the stationary plate; but I consider that the ways above described are as desirable as any, because cheap and simple. The ends b' a5 of the two plates,it will be observed,extend to or very nearly to the side edges of the shield or back. When a full shield is used, the edges may be cut away on either side, to provide a space or cavity into which the ends of the plates may project and the thumb and nger enter in the act of moving the movable plate to open the jaws. The spring,of course, constantly acts to keep the jaws closed, and,being confined or contained within the slots of the two plates, it is protected by the plates and does not increase the thickness of the necktie, and is free to always act.
ln use `I prefer to apply the device to the shield or back before it is secured to the remainder ofthe tie, and it is preferably placed upon the inner surface of the back or shield, or that surface which is concealed from view by being covered by the remainder ofthe necktie when the tie is completed; and a slot is formed in the shield or back, through which the arms which support or Iform a part of the jaws extend, so as to bring thejaws on the in-` ner surface of the necktie-and about in the position represented in the drawings.
To apply the tie to a button or stud the jaws are opened by applying the thumb and finger IOO td the ends of the two platesand moving them together to permit the insertion of the shank of the stud or the button Within the cavity or recess of the jaws; they are then allowed to close upon it. The jaws cannot be easily separated or spread apart by any movement of the tie on the button, because such movement causes the parts to bind, whereas the necktie can be easily detached by simply pressing the ends of the two plates.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United Statesl. A necktie fastener or clasp comprising the iiXed or stationary plate a2, having the stationary jaw A and extension a5, with the movable plate B, having the jaw A and the extension b', and secured to the fixed plate to slide thereon', and a spring f'or drawing the two jaws together, substantially as described.
2. The combination of the xed plate, having the slot 0,4, thejaws A, and the extension a5,
C, held within the slots of the two plates,con
necting the two plates together, substantially as described.
3. The combination of a necktie having a shield or back, the stationary plate a, having a jaw, A, arranged to extend through a hole cut in the shield or back, devices for fastening the stationary plate to the back, and an ex: tension of said plate to or very nearly to the side edge of the shield or back, with the movable plate B, having a jaw, A', arranged to extend through said hole in the shield, a spring for'closing the jaw, and an extension, b', extending to or very nearly to the side edge of the back or shield, all substantially as described.
