Objects of the means operative present invention areto provide to constriotthe material .of the tie symmetrically and independently of the constriction imposed by the knot itself, thereby to produce a pleasing drapeeifect, for example, to; form a longitudinally extending central deprestheknot, with forsion or dimple wardly directed f just beneath olds at each side of the dimple,

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates theJwide end of a four-in-handtie, the
tie comprising the narrow. end portion 2'; and the 3 neckband 3, In accordance vention the material of the with the present intie is embraced by a drape forming de'viced, shown in Figs. 1, 2. and 3 as a band or ring of thin, stiff sheet material, for
example, stainless steel, aluminum, silver or'thea35 like. 1 The internal diameter-of this band or ring is substantially less than'the lateral width. of the material of the tie at thatpart of-the wide end I ofthe tie, which lies within or immediately below the'com'pleted knot, so that posed on the wider "part of the tie," the latter is thereby-constricted laterally.

In thus moving upwardly, the band orring causes the constriction to progress upwardly until, when the band is disposed asindicated in Fig. 3, within the knot, the lower ends of the forwardly directed marginal folds are caused to diverge outwardly and downwardly, as shown at5 and B from the narrow end of the knot, while the lower. part of the intervening depression forms the more or less oval or tear-shaped dimple 1 The narrow end of the tie is now pulled, so as to complete the knot, thereby tightening the material of the loop 8 about the band 4.

retained. I
While a ring such as the ring 4, made by coiling or otherwise manipulating a length of metal ribbon, is desirable, we contemplate theprovision of retaining rings of other type, for example, a ring 4 (Fig. 4) made, for example, of wire and having a substantially circular cross section. Instead of wire, the ring l may be made of hard rubber, bone, a synthetic resin, textile material (for example a braided cord or the like) or conceivably of some elastic substance soas of itself to exercise a constant constrictive effect apart from that due to its normal diameter.
In Fig. 5 there is illustrated a stillfurther modification in which the ring 4 instead of being of circular contour, is flatly elliptical, and as illustrated, has a slight gap at 9, the ends of the ringforming material being finished and the gap being wide enough, if desired, so that the ring may be slipped over the material of the tie by introducing the tie edgewise hrough this gap. Such a depression or since the rearwardly through the transverse 'tends to force the central part of the tie material flattened ring is somewhat less bulky in a frontto-rear direction than a circular ring, and for this reason may under some conditions be preferred.
In Fig. 6 a further modification is illustrated wherein the ring 4 is of more or less kidneyshape in' contour, its front portion having the forwardly directed ends and the rearwardly directed centralpart. When such a ring is slipped onto the material of the tie, it tends to produce the efiect illustrated in Figs. 2 and S for example, directed part B of the ring rearwardly so as to form the dimple I, while the forwardly directed end portions assist in properly "folding the margins of the tie.
In Fig. '7 still further modification is illustrated wherein the ring A is of what may be termed flattened M-shapein plan, having the forwardly directed ends I I and I2 and the forwardly directed central portion In with rearwardly directed bends intermediate the central and end portions. Such an arrangement hasthe tendency to cause the necktieto drape, as shown in Fig. 7 by causing the edges of the tie to be directed forwardly, as shown at I4 and I5, and the central part l3 also to be. directed forwardly while the intermediate parts l6 and H are directedrearwardly, forming two spaced dimples. 1
While certain desirable embodiments of the invention have been illustrated by way of example, it is to-be understood that the invention is not necessarily limited to these specific embodiments, but is to be regarded as broadly inclusive of any equivalent construction which falls within the terms of the appended claim. I
We claim:
'A four-in-hand necktie of the conventional kind. including "a longitudinal wide end portion tion and subsequently passing the wide end portion downwardly through the loop to extend j downwardly parallel to and in front of the narrow end portion and in combination therewith a substantially rigid constrictingclevice of flattened M-shape in contour encircling only thewide end portion of the tie and .slidable longitudinally and upwardly thereof to a position within and concealed by the tied knot, said constricting device being operative when so slid upwardly to produce a forwardly'directed longitudinally extending rib in the material of the tie which it embraces, to
