BOW-NECKTIE FRAME.
Application led August 10, 1927. Serial No. 211,931.
could be bent to any desired shape and Vwould `retain the tie in thatshape until the frame was again bent. A disadvantage of such devices lies in the fact that only a slight force is required to bend the wire, and the wire bends as readily in one direction as in the other, with the result that the tie frequently becomes askew, as by the pressure of the wearers chin or other accidental causes. The object of the present invention is to provide a novel frame which, in addition to overcoming the above mentioned disadvantages and objections, will serve `the additional purpose of holding the tie in a puffed condition, rather than allowing it to become flattened and crushed either while packed or While in use. A tie provided with the frame of the present invention cannot be twisted askew like the type above discussed. The invention will be fully described hereinafter, and the features of Y novelty will be pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which without defining the limits of the invention, illustrate examples thereof, Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a frame embodying the invention, the necktie itself being shown in dotted lines; Fig. 2 is a plan view of the frame shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a front elevation of a modified form of the frame; and Fig. 4 is a front elevation of a further modification. p
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the frame comprises a flat transverse bar 10 having triangular wing portions 11 at each end thereof, the wing portions being secured to the ends of bar 10 by means of a pivotal connection such as eyelets 12, the pivotal connections being spaced from each other by a distance approximately equal to or slightly greater than the Width of the central band 13 of the tie, so that the frame bends approximately at the juncture of the central band with the wings 14. The pivotal connection 12 is so formed, by means known in the art, as to have suiiicient friction to normally maintain the frame in any given shape until a substantial force is exerted on it to force it to a new position.
Both the bar and the wing portions may be formed of steel, Celluloid, or other substances of sufiicient rigidity or elasticity to prevent twisting of the frame, the changes in the shape of the frame being brought about solely by the action of the pivotal connections.
are of substantial width, so that when they are arranged in the tie they keep the wings 14 thereof puffed, rather than allowing them to become crushed to an undesirable fiat shape. v
The form of the invention shown in Fig. 3 comprises a bar 16 which may be of circular or other suitable cross-section, and which has its ends flattened and drilled to receive pins 17. Wing portions 18 are formed of rigid wire and are secured to bar 16 by hav` ing their ends at 19 looped around pins 17. Pins 17 are battered at their ends to form a frictional pivotal connection bet-Ween the bar and the wing portions, and all the parts are formed of spring metal or other material of sufficient rigidity or elasticity to limit the deformation of the frame to that permitted by the pivotal connections.
In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 4, the bar 21 consists of a single length of wire, the ends of lwhich are bent to form loops, said loops each having a substantially straight reach 22, upon which are threaded the looped ends of wing portions 23. lWing portions 23 are of spring metal, and are placed under stress in such a manner that the ends of each wing portion tend to move As seen in Fig. 2, the wingl portions 11' v away from each other, with the result that the looped ends of the wing portions are forced against the respective ends of reaches 22 and bind against the loops of bar 21 in such a manner as to produce a frictional pivotal connection in the previous modifications.
The elements of the frame may be made of steel or other metal, or of Celluloid, provided only that they have the qualities necessary to produce frictional joints and are not pliable to allow flexing other than at the pivotal connect-ions.
Various changes in the specified forms shown and described may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
I claim:
1. A bow tie frame comprising `a transverse bar, and wing portions pivoted to the 2. A bow tie frame comprising a flat 5 transverse bar, a pair of substantially trangular Wing portions of substantial Width at opposite ends of said bar, and pivotal eonneetions between said barand said Wing portlons, `said pivotal connections having suffiolent friction to normally hold the Wing portions n fixed relation to said bar.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my signature.
' TILL F. SMITH.
