NECKTIE ATTACHMENT.

, To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NILLIAH A. BAUER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Necktie Attachments, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descri tion.

The purpose of the invention is to provide a very simple attachment to a four-in-hand or other tie, scarf, or necktie, and an accompanying device whereby to conveniently and expeditiously shift the tie when used in connection with a turn-down collar, to bring the knot at the proper position relatively to the front of the shirt.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts as will be hereinafter fully set forth and pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of'this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a view of the rear portion of a collar and shirt to which it is applied, a

ortion of the collar being broken away to ifiustrate the central back portion of a necktie and the improved attachment applied thereto; and Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical section through the tie and attachment, and the device employed for shifting the tie.

A represents a turn-down collar which is secured in the customary manner to a shirt A, and B represents the rear central portion of the neck band of a tie, a four-in-hand, for

example, or a bow tie, or the equivalents thereof. At the inner or outer face of the said band B, at the rear central portion thereof, a strip or a late 10 is located, which may be madeof ce uloid, metal, or of any suitable or approved material, and this plate or strip 10 is so secured to the band of the tie as to form a pocket 11, a loop or an eyelet, or other receptacle or purchase section for the reception of an implement C that is independent of the tie and is to be used to shift the tie when so desired. When a celluloid or metal plate, or a strip of fabric is employed to roduce the said purchase section or poo 6i it is secured to the band of the tie by means of stitching 13 or its equivalent, which stitching extends along the top and bottom of the strip employed, and along one end, leaving the other end open, and in order Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 414,356.

that the aforesaid implement C may be readily introduced into the said pocket or urchase section of the tie, a recess 12 is ma e at its open end, as is clearly shown in Fig. 1.

The implement C above referred to, consists of a head section 15 that is adapted to enter the pocket or purchase section 10 attached to the band of the tie, and a handle 14 that is at an angle to the said head or body section of the implement, which handle is preferably given a curvature so that it will extend in direction of one shoulder of the wearer, and thus permit the said implement to be readily operated. The implement C is entirely independent of the tie and the purchase section or pocket applied thereto, and the said implement C may be made of metal, celluloid, wood, or any suitable material having SllfliOlGIlll stability for the purpose intended.

In operation, when the necktie has been suitably tied, and the knot is to be shifted so as to occupy a central position relatively to the front of the bosom of the shirt A, the head or body portion 15 of the implement C is introduced into the pocket or purchase section 10 of the tie, and the handle is grasped by the operator and the tie is then shifted until the knot has assumed its proper position relatively to the front of the shirt.

I desire it to be understood that, instead of the head 15 constituting an integral portion of the handle 14, 'a clamp or clip of any approved construction may be substituted,

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent,-

1. A necktie provided with a purchase section at its rear, and an implement adapted to enter the said purchase section for the purpose of shifting the tie.

2. A necktie provided with a purchase section at its rear and an implement adapted to enter the said purchase section for the purpose of shifting the tie, which implement consists of a head section that enters the purchase section of the tie, and a handle section that is at an angle to the head section.

3. The combination with the band of a necktie having a pocket formed at its rear portion at a point about centrally between its ends, of an implement adapted to shift the said tie when in position on a collar, which implement consists of a head or body section that is adapted to enter the said pocket, and a handle at an angle to the said head or body section, that extends downwardly therefrom l or loop, and a handle which is curved downwhen applied to the saidtie. wardly from the said body section and is at 4. The combination with the necktie band an angle thereto, as described. of a necktie, of a pocket or loop formed at its In testimony whereof I have signed my rear outer portion at or about its center, name to this specification in the presence of 15 which pocket is open at one end and at said two subscribing witnesses. open end is provided with a recess in its'free WILLIAM A.
