IMPROVEMENT IN FRAMES FORv NECK-TIES.

@te Stimuli feierten In iu tigen etters @rient mit making part nf the sam.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY OONOERN:

Be it known that I, PATRICK WELCH, of the city and State of New York, haveinvented, made, and applied to use a certain new and useful Improvement in Frames for Neck-Ties and Bows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of Athe said invention, reference being hadito the annexed drawing, making part of this specification, wherein-4- i Figure 1 is a view of said frame and bow as seen from the back. and

Figure 2 is a view' of theft-ame separately.

Like letters indicate the same parts. p

It is often dicult to lailix a neck-tie or bow beneath the fold of' a paper collar, because the ties heretofore `made have usually been -passed downwards over the button on the shirt-collar, 'and could not be turned and .passed under the fold of .the collar withoutrisk of tearing ordefacing `the'collarl or else the neck-tie did not set properly 'up to its place in the fold of-the collar.

i The nature of my said invention consists in a sheetmetal frame for a neuh-tie or bow, formed with a slot running from the upper portion downwards, so that it may be pressed from below upwards and behind the button onthe shirt-collar, carrying the bow that is attached to said frame up youtside the fold of the collar, andI attach an elastic ring to the lower part of such frame by looping it through the opening, so that the elastic loop may be buttoned over the shirtcollar button, whether'the frame `itselt` passes behind'that button or not, and thereby keep vthe neck-tie properly up to place. This elasticring or small Indiarubber baud can be Areplaced withv 'facility in ease it breaks.

,In the drawing, eva are the wings of the neck-tie frame, provided with holes or notches, to allow the bow' t'o be attached by sewing. b is the body of said frame, through which is the vertical slot c, that allowsA the frame to be slipped up behind the shirt-collar button. e is'aismall India-rubber` baud or ring, attached by loop-A ing it around the metal at the bottom of the slot c, or through a hole provided for it at the lower end of the body b. flhis loop is to be passed over the shirt-collar button, as aforesaid, and it may be replaced with facility if broken.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The neck-tie frame, formed with a slot runningfrom the upper part down the centre of the b cdy, for the 'purposes and as set forth.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my signature, this fifteenth day of March, A. D. 1867.

i PATRICK WELCH. Witnesses:

Criss, H. SMITH,

Gino. D. WALKER.
