FASTENING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 604,408, dated May 24, 1898.
Application filed-May 24, 1897. Serial No. 637,904. (Nomodel.)
.To @ZZ whom t may concern.-
- Beit known that I, WILLIAM T. MESSIN- GER, of Boston, county of Suffolk, and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Fastening Devices, of. which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters and figures on the drawings representing like parts.
The present invention relates to a fastening device mainly intended for a necktie-fastener, the object being to provide a device which will prevent the necktie from riding up the side of a stand-up collar, the device embodying the invention being so constructy ed that it will keep the tie down preferably just below the edge of the collar, so as to cover the part where the collar adj oins the shirt and at the same time hold the tie fiat, while it is impossible for any part of the device to be visible when the tie is adjusted. Devices which have been heretofore designed for this purpose have been arranged to cooperate with the shirt-stud or collar-button, and are objectionable not only for the reason that it is difficult to properly attach them, butpalso because the necktie does not properly cover the fastening device to prevent its frequent exposure to view.
The object of the present invention is to provide a fastening device which can be readily attached to any tie and after it is once attached cannot by any possibility become accidentally detached, the said fastening device being so arranged that the main portion thereof will be Wholly covered by the material of which the tie is made, the only part a hook to slip under the edge of acollar and,
a cooperating portion also constituting a retaining device substantially parallel with said hook, the said cooperating portion being provided with a pointed end adapted to be inserted between the back or lining portion of the tie and the front or outer portion thereof, and the entire cooperating portion which is provided with the said point is of such shape that it can be caused to follow the point through the opening made thereby until it lies wholly between the front and back layers of material which form the tie, so that only the hook is on the outside of the material. The said cooperating portion is preferably so constructed as to extend upward to a point substantially adjacent to the. top of the hook and downward somewhat below lthe throat of the same, so that the lower edge of the cooperating portion will engage within the tie with the crease between the inner and outer layers of material, while the throat of the hook will project from the inner layer at a point somewhat above the said crease. Thus when the hook is placed in position the collar will be engaged between the same and the cooperating portion within the tie, the throat of the hook coming up against the lower edge of the collar to prevent the tie from rising, while the lower portion of the tie is held flat and somewhat below the edge of the collar by the lower part of the said coperating portion, which is hidden by the material of which the tie is formed, and the upper part of said cooperating portion within the tie will hold the tie flat against the collarparallel with the' tongue of the hook, preventing any possibility. of its turning downward or otherwise away from the collar. The said cooperating portion within the tie, moreover, preferably has a considerable lateral eX- tent, and the lower edge thereof may be iiattened for some distance, so as to lie along the crease of the tie and prevent the device from turning or tipping laterally.
The device may also be so constructed that when attached to the tie it will not be readily detached therefrom, this being preferably accomplished by providing the said coperatin g portion,which lies within the tie,with a shoulder adapted to be engaged by the material after it has passed through the saine, the whole device thus being snugly held in position.
Figure l is a front elevation of a device embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the device applied to a tie, the part which lies between the face and lining of the tie being shown in dotted lines,while the hook, which is outside, is shown in full lines. Fig.
IOO
3 is an elevation of the device, taken at right angles to the position shown in Fig. 2 and applied to the tie, which is shown in section. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are front elevations of the device in different positions, showing the manner of applying the same to the tie. Fig. 7 is a section on line x6 of Fig. 2, looking toward the left; and Fig. 8, a similar section on the same line, looking toward the right, Figs. 7 and 8 being on a larger scale than the others.
The hook 0L and the cooperating portion d2, which, in conjunction with the hook, is adapted to hold the tie snugly against the collar, are
herein shown as formed of a single blank, i
there being a neck a3, Figs. 6 and 7, between the hook proper and the body of the cooperating portion, which is adapted to be bent substantially at a right angle to the said hook and the cooperating portion, so as to odset the hook to form the throat portion thereof,
the said throat portion being adapted to engage the lower edge of the collar and to pass through the material of which the tie A is formed when the device is in position, with the hook outside of the tie and the cooperating portion inside thereof, or between the material which forms the face of the tie and that which forms the lining thereof.
The cooperating portion aforesaid, which is adapted to be covered by the material which forms the tie and which also constitutes the retaining portion to keep the device attached to the tie, may be constructed in any suitable` way, but should be in the form of a rod or strip curvued to the desired shape and terlninating in a point, so that when the said point is caused to penetrate the material the re.
mainder of the said portion can follow the poi-nt through the material until substantially t the entire retaining portion is within the tie up to the point where the hook proper is connected therewith, the said hook then being the only part of the device which is exposed at the outside of the tie, the material of which is substantially intact except for the small hole through which the retaining portion has been passed and through which extends the neck or connecting portion between the hook and the retaining device, the latter thus also constituting a support for the tie to hold the same snugly against the surface of the collar and to keep it fiat.
As shown in the drawings, the portion c2 comprises a loop 2, extending laterally from the hook cz, the lower member of the said loop then extending in the opposite direction to a point at the opposite side of the said hook and then curving upward and terminating in the point 3 substantially adjacent to the top To insert the device, the point of the hook a. 3 is passed through the back or lining of the tie, as shown in Fig. 4, so as to pass between the said lining and the front or outer material of the tie, the point being inserted as shown in dotted lines, Fig. '4, and the device turned and pushed inward until it reaches the position shown in Fig. 5. The rounded end of place the fastening device after it is once applied to the tie. The said shoulder is shown as rounded, and the lower edge of the loop where it adjoins the throat a3 is also shown as rounded, so that while the shoulder will effectually prevent the accidental removal of the device the user can remove the same without difficulty by lifting the material, as with a knife or pin, over the shoulder without having the material catch or tear.
As herein shown, the loop 2 is extended below the bottom of the hook, this construction being preferable for the reason that the lower edge of the tie is thereby carried downward somewhat below the edge of the collar, so that it will cover the said lower edge, it being obviously impossible, moreover, after the device is once placed in position to expose any portion of the same, since the outer support for the tie is wholly hidden within the material, while the hook proper is behind the collar, the lower portion of the loop, moreover, preventing the lower edge of the tie from being turned up, so as to expose even the portion a@ of the device, which connects the hook with its cooperating portion.
By elongating and flattening the loop, as
, shown, a bearing is given for the same along the lower edge inside of the tie, so that the device is maintained at a right angle to the edge of the tie, as shown, making it practically impossible for the device to tip in either direction.
While the construction herein shown and described as illustrative of the invention is believed to be the most practicable form of device for the purpose, it is not' intended to limit the invention to this specific construction, since many modifications may be made without departing from the invention. Furthermore, it is not intended to limit the invention to a device for fastening neckties l alone, since substantially the same device may be useful for other purposes, such, for example, as fastening belts and the like.
I claiml. In a fastening device, the combination with a hook, of a cooperating portion, an offset portion connecting the said hook and cooperating portion, said offset portion being adapted to extend through an opening in the material to which the fastening device is connected and being joined to the cooperating portion between the upper and lower edges thereof, substantially as described.
