ELIAS HEYMAN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

NECKTIE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 628,583, dated July 11, 1899.

Application filed May 5, 1898. Serial No. 679,773. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ELIAs'HEYMAN, a citi-' it in such position without danger of displacement and it has also for one of its objects the saving of a considerable amount of material in the manufacture of the necktie.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and in which like letters of reference refer to like parts in each figure thereof; and my invention consists in the combination of parts and arrangement of detail shown in the said drawings and described in the following specification and claim.

Inthe said drawings, Figure 1 is a view of a necktie and collar-clasp embodying my invention,with the collar upon which it is placed. Fig. 2 is a detailed view of the necktie-holder and collar-clasp. Fig. 3 is an edge view of the holderin position, showing the neckband of the tie and the collar in vertical cross-section. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of the same on the line 4: 4 of Fig. 1.

X represents the collar, upon which the necktie is placed in position.

X is the body of the tie, which may be either a bow-knot, four-in-hand, or other style of tie.

A represents the neck or collar bands, which are attached to the tie at one end by suitable means of attachment or may be an integral part thereof and extend about half way around the collar X. Upon the outer end of each of these bands and upon the inner side of the same the clasp or holder is secured. This clasp or holder consistsof a plate B,

. preferably provided with suitable perfora tions b for the reception of thread when the clasp is sewed fast to the band. It may, however, be secured to the neckband by any other suitable means of attachment. The plate 0, being a continuation of the plate B, may be bent so that the twoplates forma U shape in cross-section. This plate 0 is provided upon either of its vertical sides with inturned flanges D, which project therefrom until they come in contact or nearly in contact with the inner side of the plate B, one at an angle somewhat greater and the other less than a right angle from the said plate 0. The upper edgeof this plate 0 is provided with a lip E turning outwardlythat is, away from the plate B. The entire clasp or holder is preferably made of spring-steel or other elastic metal, so that it will not become bent out of shape in use.

The operation of this device is as follows: WVhen it is desired to place the necktie upon the collar of the wearer, the clasp is taken in the fingers, placed beneath the lower edge of the collar at a suitable distance toward the back of the neck to insure that the tie at the front is in proper position, and the clasp is then pressed upward, so that the plate 0 passes upward on the inside of the collar and the plate B upon the outside,the lip E facilitatin g this operation. 1 As the clasp is pressed upward the collar will press the two plates apart, thus causing it to be firmly gripped between the plate B and the flanges D upon the plate 0, and it will be readily seen that when once placed in position the flanges D, pressing firmly against the collar,will prevent the clasp, and consequently the tie, from moving either backward or forward, and thus re tain it securely in position. the clasp upon the ends of the collar-band renders it unnecessary that the same should extend entirely around the neck, and in this manner it will be seen a considerable saving in material is efiected.

What I claim is- The placing of 7 In a necktie the combination of the tie proper provided with a neckband in two parts, each part provided with a collar-clasp composed of two portions connected at one edge and disposed in parallel planes, one of said portions having its vertical edge turned in- In presence of- F.
