" CARE-PIN.

Specification of L tte P n Patented Nov. 16. 1909.

Application filed July 2, 1908. Serial No. 441,590.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, Earn. lVAoNnn, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Cincinnati,Hamilton county, State of ()hio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scarf-Pins; and I do declare the following to be a clear, full, and exact description of the invention, attention being called to the accompanying drawing, with the reference characters marked thereon, which forms also a part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in scarf-pins, also called tie or stick-pins,which serve as a means to hold a jewel, or setting, in position on a neck-tie orshirt-bosom.

Pne object of my invention is to shape and construct such a pin in a manner that when in place it is securely held so as to prevent its disengagement from the tie, thereby guarding against loss and unauthorized abstraction.

Another object is to hold the pin firmly in place so that any set or jewel carried by it. is always held in proper position and as respects its face always with this latter properly to the front so as to be displayed to the best-advantage.

In the following specification and specially pointed out in the claims at the end thereof, will be found a full description of my pin, together with its particular shape and construction, all of which is also illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in

' which Figure 1, shows a front view of the pin constructed and shaped as contemplated by my invention. Fig. 2, shows the same secured in position on a neck-tie. Fig. 3, is a side-view and Fig. 4, is a rear-View of in Fig. 5, in a front-view of the tie, illustrates manner of placing the pin in position. Fig, 6, illustrates part of this manipulation, the tie being shown in edge-view. Fig. 'Z, shows a rear-view of the tie with the inserted pin In 'the drawing, A, indicates the pin proper.

B denotes a. suitable ornament, setting, or jewel and C, is a neck-tie to which the pin is attached.

At oneend the pin is shaped to'form a loop D, by bending part a; of it, near the end thereof, so that this part is substantially parallel to the pin-proper, but spaced therefrom. The end of this bent part a is pointed, so that a hook d results with a pointed end. This latter is slightly turned outwardly, that is away from the pin proper as shown, to

i facilitate insertion into the fabric. This loop serves to secure the pin in its position after attached, so as to prevent its loss or unintentional removal.

The particular manner of attachment and manipulation of the pin for its insertion will be subsequently described. At the other end the pin is shaped toform a ring E, which however is not completely closed, but left open as shown at e, for reasons which will be presently made clear.

Loop 1) and ring E are arranged to lie fiat in one plane as best shown in Fig. 3. At the open end of ring E, a shank b is formed which extends forward and at right angles to the plane of the ring and at its free end supports the setting 13. It will now be seen thatloop D, and ring E, lie in one plane and that the face of setting B is substantially parallel to this plane.

The manipulation for insertion is illustrated in Figs. 5, 6 and 7, and will now be explained. Insertion bymeans of pointed end d of the hook is started at the place where it is intended to locate the set on the front of the tie, the point being pushed thereat into the fabric of the tie, from the front as shown in Fig. 5, until it penetrates to the other side. The pin is now pushed fully through the fabric, being at the same time turned and manipulated as partly shown in dotted lines and so as to follow its various bends, the fabric being cleared at the gap at e, so as to permit the ring portion E to pass also through, after which shank b is pushed through, when finally set E arrives upon its intended seat on the front-side of the tie. This is illustrated in Fig. 6, the set being on the front-side of the tie and the pin proper on the rear side of it. The tie is now .kinked as shown in dotted lines in Fig.6,

and pushed into point d, at a place sufiiciently below the point of insertion, so that, when the tie is straightened out again as Note Fig. 6. It will now be seen, that the ring E'on its rear side, the ring forming a flat backin for the set which keeps the same flatly seated against the front-side of the tie.

during this final manipulation of the tie.

shown in Fig. '7, the loop has entered and tie is between the set on its front side and-- The ring is held flat because of the radial arface of this setting being arranged approxirangement thereto of pin A. The face of the setting is thus always held in proper position for display. The inserted loop holds the pin straight on the tie so that it cannot turng in the latter about its shank and prevents also its detachment.

Intended disengagement suggests itself, the various manipulations being performed in reverse order.

Use and manipulation are-obviously susceptible of various modifications which may be developed by users to suit their individual ideas.

Having described my invention, I claim as new: v I

1. A scarf-pin having an open ring at one end, a loop terminating in a pointed hook at its other end, both arranged to lie in one plane, a shank projecting from thering and av setting carried at the end of this shank, the

mately parallel to the plane of ring and loop.

2. A scarf-pin having a portion of it at one end shaped to form a loop and a portion at the other end shaped to form an open ring. loop and ring being arranged to lie flat in oneplane the extreme pointed end of the loop being slightly bent to one side and out of parallelism with the pin and also out of the plane of the loop and the pin at the open end of the ring being also turned out of the plane of the/ring to form a shank, and a set carried at the end of this shank, the face of which is approximately parallel to the plane of the ring back of it.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses. EMIL \VAGNER. lVitnesses:

C. SPENGEL, WM. SANDER.
