EDWARD GREEN, OF HAMILTON, WASHINGTON.

NE CK'IIE -FRAME To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD GREEN, citizen of the United States, residing at Hamilton, in the county of Skagit and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie-Frames, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is a necktie frame, which can be readily secured in position on a collar without adjustment before "a looking glass, which can be quickly removed from position, and from which the attached necktie can be easily removed to be cleaned or to be replaced by a new tie.

With this and other objects in view as will more fully appear as the description proceeds the invention consists in certain constructions and arrangements of parts as I shall hereinafter fully describe and claim.

For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure l is a front view of a necktie showing my improved frame, in dotted lines, applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a rear erspective view of the frame showing the ne tie in dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a verticalsection thereof. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on the line x-x of Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 is a front elevation of the frame.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the Views of the drawing by the same reference characters.

My improved necktie frame is preferably constructed of such metal as'tin and comprises an outer plate l, which is designed to be covered by a part of the necktie to imitate the knot of a four-in-hand, the rest of the tie hanging downwardly .from the plate 1 and constituting the loose ends of the said four-in-hand. This plate l which preferably has a convex outer surface, tapers toward its lower end as shown and is formed at its sides with flanges 2 which are doubled inwardly upon the said plate and are spaced therefrom, said plate being formed at its upper end with two upward pointed prongs 3.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December 4, 1907.

Patented Aug. 11, 1908.

Serial No. 405,091.

An inner plate 4 which is correspondingly tapered, is designed to be pushed downwardly between the plate l and the flanges 2 thereof and to be held by the latter in a position contiguous to said plate 1. The prongs 3 are adapted to be doubled inwardly upon themselves to prevent the withdrawal of the inner plate 4. This plate 4 is formed with an opening 5 extending therethrough and a slot 6 communicating therewith and extending upwardly therefrom.

In the practical use of my improved necktie frame, the outer surface of the plate l is covered by a portion of the cloth, which then extends around the sides and the upper end of said plate and across the inner surface thereof, the prongs 3 engaging the cloth passing around the upper end of the plate, as best shown in Fig. 3, to prevent the cloth from slipping. The inner plate 4 is pushed intoposition and the prongs are bent to prevent its withdrawal, said inner plate serving to hold the cloth on the frame to imitate the knot of a four-in-hand, the cloth hanging downwardly to form the loose ends. To attach the necktie to a collar, the frame is applied to the collar button so that the head of the latter is received in the opening 5, said frame being then pulled downwardly until the head protrudes through the slot 6.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:

The herein-described necktie frame com-
