IMPROVEMENT IN NECKTIES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 52,557, dated February 13, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J. B.

Fig: 4 is a rear View ot' the connection With the button of the shirt. Fig'. 5 shows another form of connection having' the extensions a a, whichA pass under thecollar and hold the tiein place, being` turned down behind, as Shown in Figli.

This invention consists in forming` a neellfie or bow so as to closely imitate a cloth bow or tie by striking up or embossing the same from paper, thin metal, or other suitable substance.

The construction of this invention is so simple as to be readily seen from the drawings, the sections, FiOs. 2 and 3, showing the form in which the material is raised or embossed. This is done in th'iscasehileanso/fdies, but

This tie or bow th nsdformedmisiastened to the britr-onvotlftheshirt by passing the forked piece b b over it, or by passing` the extensions ct t under the collar and catching the fork c c over the button, or in any other convenient manner.

By varying,` the dies any form of tie or bow may be made, and it may be ornamented in any desired way by embossing, or coloring, the principle of the invention remaining,` tlnl same, which is the imitation of a bow or other form of necktie or ornament for neel; by embossing, striking np, raising, or depressing the surface, th ereof.

Now, having described my invention, what I claim as ne\v,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Aswttclebfggmnfacture, a necktie or bow `made of paper, thin metal, or other Suitable. substance, and embossed or struck up, substantially in the manner and for the pnrpdse herein set forth.
