Application flld December 27, 1907. Serial No. 408,305.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it'known that I, MARK Paaena, a citi- 'Zen of the United States, and a resi'dentof the city of New Yorlgborough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York,-

have invented a new and Improved Necktie, of which the following is a full, clear,

apparel which can be tied or knotted by the wearer, which tends to retain its normal shape for an extended period, and which does not show creases or fold marks.

A further object of the invention is to provide an article of the class described, which is provided with an interlining of elastic material so that the article tends to' keep its normal shape and thereby to prevent the appearance of plicatures or creases.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts to be more fully described hereinafter and particularly set forth in the claims.

Reference is to behad to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my inventionshowingparts of the device broken away; Fig. 2 is a similar'view showing a tie or cravat of my invention, knotted or tied, and having a part broken away to show the elastic lining; Fig. 3 is anenlarged transverse section of the tie; and Fig. 4c is a similar view showing a modified form of the invention.

Before proceeding to a more detailed explanation of my invention it should be understood that the same is applicable to any form of tie, cravat, scarf or other similar article of apparel which is worn about the neck, and which is tied, knotted or otherwise arranged or positioned by the wearer.

Neckties of the usual kind, after being tied a number of times begin to show creases vor fold marks of more or less permanency.

These marks not only detract from the appearance of the necktie, but, at the same time, tend to shorten the life of the article.

interlining which at all times tends to resist the formation of creases or fold marks, and

Furthermore,the elastic intcrlining enables the knot to be tied more smoothly and firmly, and to be arranged moreattractively than is the case with the ordinary neck tie. It is of course, unnecessary to interline the tie throughout its length with the elastic material, and therefore I provide elastic interlining sectionsat those I with which the knot is formed.

In the drawings I have shown, for exam ple, a tie of the ordinary four-in-hand or- Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 represents the facing of the tie, which consists of silk or any other-material adapted to the purpose. The backing?) of the tie is stitched or otherwise secured to the facing. in any suitable manner, and may consist of any material adapted to-the purpose. An interlining 3 of the usual kind is provided. I employ further, interlining sections 4' and 5 arranged between the facing and the backing of the tie and secured to the i-nterlining by stitching, or in any other convenient manner. those portions of the tiewith which the knot is formed, as is shown, for example, in Fig. 2. The interlining. sections 4 and 5 which may consist of thin sheets of rubber or of any other suitable elastic material, are cut or otherwise fashioned to conform to the shape of the tie. The arrangement is such that when the knot 6 is formed by the, wearer, one of the sections, for instance, the section 4, is arranged within the knot as is shown in Fig. 2, and tends to render the samesmooth and tight.

In Fig. 4 is shown a modified form of my invention, in which the sections of elastic material are double and extend at each side of the inter-lining 3, one side being adjacent to the facing, and the other side, to the backing of the tie. This of course, substantially doubles the elastic material and enhances the effect of the same.

Having thus described my invention, I

thereby enhances the appearance of the tie and increases the length of life of the same.

portions of the tie The sections 4 and 5 are arranged at claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A neck tie having at separated points at which the knot is formed, a lining of rubber.

2. A neck tie having at a point at which the knot is formed, a sheet of rubber for resisting 1 he 'Jkn-niati on of folds 0r crease marks.

A neck tie, comprising a facing, a back ing, an interlining therebetween, and sectidns of elastic material between said facing and said Inn-king, and arranged at separated pertions of the neck tie wherewith the knotis formed when the neck tie is tied.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
