To all whom it may concern.' i

`Be it known that l, WILLIAM A. KEYS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful l1nproveniente in Neckties, of which the following is a specification.

l`his invention has relation to neck wear and consists in the novel construction of neck wear whereby the tie or knot -Inade by the tying of the free ends of the neck-tie may be fixed on the vcollar so as to prevent lateral or vertical. motion and so as to remove any strain or tension on the same...

ln the rawings forming part of this speci ication Figure l shows the reverse or inner side of my improved tie with the tabs made of one piece of material and inserted between the layers of material of which the tie is made. Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is the saine as Fig..

l with the tabs xedly secured to the tie. Eig. t is a longitudinal section of Fig. 3.

ln the drawings similar letters refer to similar parts.

At represents the inner face or wrong side of the neck-tie which has placed in it slits or button holes A, A', lwhich may be linished in buttonhole stitch, as shown, or otherwise. Between the two layers of material of which the tie is made is laced a strip of suitable material B of sufficient length to' project out at each end of the neck band portion of the tie through. the holes n', A and which material is folded or stitched. so as to forni tabs B, B', having button holes C G made therein, whereby the said tie may be attached to the front collar button of the wearer. rlhe lining or strip of material out of which the tabs are inade may be xedly secured within the neclntie either by means of the button hole in the rear of the tie alf lowing the neck: band of the tie to he fixed. tothe rear collar button of the wearer or may be sewed into the tie by means of a row of stitching D D or be merely placed in the tie without afiixing it there.

The operation of attaching my improved tie is to pass the neck hand o i the tie around; the collar, attach the tabs ll', ld to the freni; collar button by means of the button holes C C and thc-ifi to tie the ends of the tie into a bow or knot.

My invention is applicable to any form ofy tie, either to the form of tie shown in the to a four-in-hand, or to'an ascot or any of` the other Various forms of ties, but for convenience l have merely shown it in the form' appearing inthe drawings.
