Application August 14,
9 Claims.
This invention relates to neckties and more particularly to'improved necktie design and construction.
Among the objects of the invention there may be cited the effecting of a four-in-hand tie with a very considerable saving of the amount of material used therein, while maintaining a conventional full-bodied tie appearance, the provision for certain constructural effects whereby enlo hanced appearance is attained, and the utilization. of separate tie elements associated together in a. novel fashion for providing improved knotting, facility in adjustment and permanence of shape.
In the drawing illustrating the preferred embodiment of my invention,-
Fig. 1 is a partly assembled View of my improved tie showing lining as placed in tie.
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 and illustrates a completely assembled tie prior to the formation of the knot therein.
Fig. 3 is another view similar to Figs. 1 and 2 indicating certain shaping and arranging steps in the knotting of the tie, and
Fig. 4 is a front elevation of a completely as sembled and knotted tie.
Fig. 5 is a rear elevational View showing in detail development of the folding operation illustrated at the start in Fig. 3.
Fig. 6 is another rear elevational view in detail illustrating completion of the folding operation shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5.
Referring more, in detail to the drawing, It] indicates a backer member composed of some substantial material such as cotton and wool or buckram which has to some extent been formed in the conventional shape of a four-in-hand tie.
Located upon the element I0 is a filler member H composed of any suitable light material such as flannel, and being cut to coincide in shape with the element I0. [2 indicates a folded over and depending portion of the, filler H which has been doubled upon itself along the edge l3, and secured to the back I 0 by means of stitching I4.
The location of the edge 13 is arranged to occur. relative to the upper edge l5 of the backer Ill inv 1937, Serial No. 159,131
is similarly cut off at I! to conform to the shape of backer and filler l0 and II. By utilizing only this amount of material it will be readily seen that a considerable saving in expensive material such as silk is effected since the usual smaller end portion of a four-in-hand tie and the neckband are eliminated. In this connection it may be stated that the saving occurring in direct cost of the amount of silk used will be approximately one-half.
The assembly illustrated in Fig. 2 is folded in several steps to provide a knot. The first step is illustrated in Fig. 3 in which the element I8 is pinched together from the flatly disposed state it is shown in in Fig. 2. As this element 18 is secured by its stitching l9 to the covering l6 at a point below the edge 13 of the folded over filler II in the covering, this folded over edge 13 together with the backer and covering, are also pinched together with the element I 8 to effect pleats 26. That portion of the tie shown in Fig. 3 extending upwardly beyond the point of association of element I8 is utilized to complete the formation of the knot and in preparation for this its edges are folded inward for a short way as illustrated at 22 in Fig. 3.
When brought into a position as illustrated in Fig. 3, stitching 21 is applied to element I8, securingit, together with the folded over filler, back and covering, in the pinched together state as illustrated in Fig. 5. The upwardly extending portion above referred to is then folded down and around to form a loop and its end pressed together to form a tip or strap 23 as indicated in Fig. 5.
The strap 23 thus eifected is carried around the back. of the element 18 and passed through the loop formed in the step illustrated in Fig. 5, resulting. in. a completed knot 2| as shown in Fig. 6. When the knot is tightened, the element l8 is pressed outwardly comprising a strap portion similar to the indicated strap 23 occurring at the opposite side of the knot as shown. in Fig. 4.
The two strap portions thus formed provide engaging means for securing an elastic band or cordor other desired means to the necktie whereby it may be supported about the neck of the wearer.
The elastic band or other supporting element may be permanently secured to the straps at both ends or a detachable arrangement may be utilized in connection with which I have shown an eye 24 which would be adapted to receive a neck piece having a hook associated therewith, this latter element not having been shown in the drawing as it is well known in the art.
As the knot is tightened into a permanent position, it is preferable to position the strap portion such that their folded edges 26 and 23a appear at the front of the knot as viewedin' Fig. 4.
While the tie construction is not limited to such an arrangement, some advantage is present owing to the fact that occurring in this position they will lie more flatly against the neck or collar and the knot is held more snugly in place.
By attaching the element ill to the back of the tie at a point below where the folded over edge of the filler occurs inside thereof, the greater part of the knot is made up of thicknesses of the backer H and covering l6 alone. However a slight amount of the folded over filler is included in the lower part of the knot. 7 As a result advantage is had by utilizing a relatively smaller bulk of material for getting a Well proportioned knot and yet the desirable effect of a full-bodied portion flowing out of the lower part of the knot is retained.
By tying the material in the manner shown about the element 18, a full-bodied knot is obtained having fastening ends protruding therefrom, and the front of the tie 25 is of the bodied appearance of a conventional tie, due to the presence of the depending portion l2. Also, folding the element I8 together to form the flat edge construction as shown in Figs. 3 and necessarily effects a substantially uniform pleating 26 shown in Fig. 4, whereby a permanently neat and full-bodied appearance is present in the tie at all times.
If desired, more than one separate piece of material may be present in the knotted portion of the tie to further enhance the full-bodied appearance; for instance, a piece of soft material as wicking may be wadded into the knot after it has been formed at various points therein. I have found that a particularly good effect may be achieved by inserting wadding into the knot through the folded over extremity 23 at one side and between the element l8 and the top of the knot on the other side. While the particular arrangement of the knot about theelement IS with its folded in portion 22 is specially advantageous, it may be desired to effect formation of the knot by some other arrangement. Also, the depending folded over portion l2, which effects the bodying appearance adjacent to the knot when the tie is assembled, may be replaced by some other filler means such as for instance a separate piece located at approximately this point on the back side of the backer.
The result of these several improvements is to effect a tie at a cost much less than that of a regular four-in-hand tie, due to the elements used, the decreased amount of materiaI required, and the novel assembly of the knot with the separate elements referred to.
Having thus described my invention, what I- claim is: 1
1. A necktie construction comprising a backer,
a filler, coincident in shape therewith, and a covering enclosing said filler and backer, a strap element secured thereto, the extremities of said backer and said coveringat one end being folded about the strap element and l lponthemselves to 5 comprise a knot and provide a second strap portion, said filler member being folded over upon itself and secured to said backer at a point such that the folded edge will occur in the lower portion of the said knot.
