CACILIE KOEHL RUE-BE, OF JERSEY CITY HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY.

NECKTIE-HOLDER FOR NEGLIGEE SHIRTS.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ClA'oILIn KonHL RUEBE,

a citizen of the United States of America,

residing in Jersey City Heights, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie-Holders for Neglige Shirts, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved device for holding a so-called four-in-hand neck-tie in position on a neglige shirt, without passing the neck-band of the tie around the collar of the shirt, so as to relieve the neck as much as possible from surplus bands during the summer months and also dispense with the frequent tying of the neck-band.

The objection to so-called four-in-hand neckties is that they are inconvenient in tying, and that the neck-band of the same renders the collar-portion of the shirt too warm in summer.

The object of this invention is to furnish a simple attachment for neglige shirts which serves to support the necktie, which requires only one tying when the same is applied to the shirt and dispenses thereby with the frequent tying of the same and also with the necessity of extending the necktie around the neck-band of the collar of the shirt; and for this purpose the invention consists of the negllge shirt hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front-elevation of a negligeshirt with my improved necktie-holder shown in position for use, Fig. 2 is also a frontelevation, showing the supporting strip in position thereon, but with the necktie removed, and Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on line 3, 3, Fig. 1, drawn on a larger scale.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the views.

In the drawings, a represents a neglige shirt of any shape or style, whether an openfront shirt coat or other shirt. To the upper part of the shirt, below the front-ends of the collar, and adjacent to the upper front-button, is arranged a curved strip 6, which is attached at one end 11 to one side of the shirt-bosom and at the other end by means of button-holes b to an extra-button (Z, which is attached to the opposite side of the front-part of the shirt, below the collar as shown clearly in Figs. 1 and 2. The

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 15, 1909.

Patented Jan. 11, 1910.

Serial No. 502,190.

necktie e is tied in so-called four-in-hand style around the supported strip b, without being passed around the neck-band of the collar, and retained in position thereon as long as the shirt is worn. WV hen the shirt is required to be washed, the strip 6 is unbuttoned from the button (Z of the shirt and the looped portion of the necktie removed from the supporting strip by slipping it over the free end of the same. After the shirt is washed and is to be used again, the supporting strip is placed in position by being buttoned over the extra-button d, after which the necktie is again tied in four-inhand style around the supporting strip, in the usual manner, it being not removed until the shirt is again required to be washed.

In place of button-holes in the necktiesupporting strip 6 and a button on the shirtbosom below the collar any other fastening device for the strip may be used, such as a hook and eye, spring-fastener and the like. This attachment saves a great deal of time and a great deal of annoyance as the tying of the necktie is dispensed with, and likewise the passing around of the same on the neck-band.

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

A neglige-shirt having a button and buttonhole at the front-part of the neck and provided with a side-button attached to the bosom of the shirt some distance to one side said first-named button and buttonhole, and a strip stitched to the bosom some distance from said first-named button and buttonhole and on the opposite side thereof from said side-button, the free end of said strip being provided with a pair of buttonholes, each of which is adapted to receive said side-button, said strip covering and hiding said first-named button and butt-onhole and the distance from said side-button to the attached end of the strip being greater than the width of a four-in-hand tie, whereby a four-in-hand tie may be knotted on said strip and lie in front of said first-named button and buttonhole.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
