N ECKTIEA-DISPLAY STAN D.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 598,507, dated February 8, 1898. Application filed August 25, 1896. Serial No. 603,895. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR W. GRAHAM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cortland, in the county of Cortland and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie-Display Stands; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. a

Thisinvention relates to an improved necktie-display stand and it has for its objects to v the means illustrated in the I drawings, in whicha 5 a my improved necktiestand, showing a num- Figure 1 represents a perspective View of her of neckties-properly supported therein for display; and Fig. 2 represents a-perspective view of the necktie-support without the neckties.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates the support, which consists, essenplane.

tially, of a rack or frame formed of a single piece of wire. The said frame is substantially rectangular in shape and at its upper side is formed with a series of bends 3 or loops extending at an angle to the upright members 4 of the frame. A suitable base is formed by bending the lower ends of the upright mem-' bers at right angles thereto and in the same Said ends arethen turned inwardly toward each other and, uniting at the center,

are twisted together and bent in a rearward direction.

In usingnmy improved device the neckties at theirknots are slipped between the recesses formed by the bends 3, which hold them tightly between the bows above and the unfolded portions below the knots, so as to present and display the ties in the position they have when worn, giving to the eye of the ob server the correct impression of the appearance of the tie when fastened around the neck of the wearer. When the ties are secured to the frame, the said frame may be set upon its base in a show case or window, thus holding the ties up to View. i

Having thus fully described my invention, what I, claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is Y 1. A necktie display stand or support consisting of a substantially rectangular wire frame, having a seriesof bends in its upper side, at an angle to the vertical portion of the frame, forming recesses to receive and hold the knots of the ties, and having the lower ends of its vertical members bent at right angles thereto and united to form a suitable base, substantially as specified.

2.- A necktie display stand or support consisting of a rectangular wire frame, having a a series of bends at its upper side made at an angle to the vertical part of the frame, and a base formed by bending the lower vertical parts of the frame at right angles, and then backward, the ends being twisted to form a substantial brace for the base, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
