This invention relates to neckties and more particularly to novel constructions whereby a necktie incorporating the invention may be tied solas to present any one of two or more possible surface patterns, as may be selected by the wearer. "i
It is an object of the invention to provide a necktie which may be worn with either AofV its sides in front and wherein the structure of the tie is such that in use it gives substantially the same appearance as a conventional necktie. Another object of the 'invention is to provide a tie of i a tubular sort wherein the longitudinal folds forming the side edges of the tie may be located in the tie at the option of the wearer. .A stillfurther object of the invention'V is the provision' of a necktie capable of presenting a number of diiferent surface configurations.r Other objects will be in part pointed out as the description proceeds and will in part become`r apparentthere'-v from.
The invention, accordingly, consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements, and arrangements of parts as will be set forth in the accompanying specification and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the accompanying claim.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a plan view with parts broken away of a necktie embodying one form of the invention;
Figure 2 is a plan View of a blank pattern used in forming the necktie illustrated in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a sectional elevation on an enlarged scale taken along the line 3--3 of Figure 1 in the direction of the arrows;
Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing a modified construction in'accordance with the invention;
Figure 5 is a view similar to that of Figure 2 but illustrating a pattern used in making the tie of Figure 4;
1 claim. (o1.l .9u-14s) Figures 6 and 7 are sectional elevations on an Figure l1 is a sectional elevation on an en larged scale taken along the line-7| I`l I-of Figure 8 in thedirection of the arrows; and
Figure 12V is a sectional elevation on an enlarged scale taken along the line I'Z-l2 of Figure` 9 in the direction of thearrows.
The accompanying drawings illustrate, by way of example, threeforms which the present invention maytake.- It has heretofore beenl discovered that neckties'may be fashioned from two dissimilar piecesrof material so that either side of the tie may be placed onft'opvbefore tying, whereby the tie serves a dual capacity of presenting either of'its surfaces. Such necktieshave been of conventional size and shape, the two tie lpieces simply being sevled together by a seamv running around the outer edge of the tie. These necktieshave suffered' the disadvantage of having an unattractive seam portion adjacent the longitudinal edges of the tie. This was trueno matter how finethe seam might bev nor how nicely it was positioned at the exact edge ofthe tie.
The present invention provides a tie which, in two of the embodiments illustrated, incorporates a recessed and hidden seam in connection with the edges of the front portion of the necktie. This hidden seam is made possible by a pleat construction as will be described more fully hereinafter. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, a novel end seam construction is effected whereby the llongitudinal seams between the two tie surface pieces may be located, at the will of the wearer, either at the edges of the tie or at some intermediate portion of the tie so that the tie may be worn not only to give two unbroken surfaces, but also, by locating a seam intermediate of the longitudinal edge portions, the tie may be used to combine selected portions from each of the two tie surface pieces, all as will be described morefully in the following specification.
Figure 1 illustrates a necktie 20 having a broad end 22, a relatively narrower end 2,4 and an intermediate neck portion 26. The tie comprises a first tie surface piece 28 (on top as viewed in Figure 1) and a second tie surface piece 30 shown at the lower portion of the necktie where the rst piece is broken away and also shown at the narrow end of the tie where it is turned oven In Figure 2 a blank 32 is indicated such as is used in forming tie 2i) ofFigure l. Fold lines 34 are illustrated by dot and dash lines -upon the blank, and it will be seen at the broader portion of the tie that fold portions 36 are de- 3 lineated by fold lines 34. When two `blanks 32 of different materials are cut. and folded as indicated in Figure 2, they may be arranged in back to back relationship to form a tie such as is illustrated in Figure 1, wherein a seam 38 extends substantially completely around the tie, and wherein a seam 38 is recessed at the broad end of the tie by virtue of fold portions 36 (see also Figure 3) to eifect a pleat `liu on each side edge of the tie. Pleat 40 has thefc'apacity of enhancing the appearance of the tie notwithstanding the fact that the tie includes a complete, y
Figures 4 7 present a modiiication ofthe tie illustrated in Figures 1-3. Similar parts are indicated by corresponding reference characters but with the addition to the reference characters of an a. This modified necktie is characterized by the fact that its pleat 40a extends upwardly from the bottom of the broad end, as illustrated in Figure 4, only to a limited point, at which point seam 38a assumes a more conventional position adjacent the extreme outer edges of the tie. The typev of tie illustrated in Figures 4-7 has advantage `in some instances, depending somewhat upon the types of fabrics used, vin that Vpleatidllct stops immediately below the portion which .is used in forming the knot when the tie is tied. And thus, any possi-ble interference frornpleat 40a duringr the tying operation is eliminated.
. Figures 8-11 illustrate a further embodiment of the invention wherein similar reference characters indicate Corresponding parts found in the embodiment of Figures 1 3 but with the addition of a b. The necktie has a tubular-like propertyextending from one end to the other. For example, at neck portion 26D the two tie surface pieces are not sewed to one another other than by means of seam 38D. In addition, each end of the tie is characterized `by the fac-t 4 that it includes an end seam 42h. Scams 426 are essentially nothing more than turned-in edges. This construction departs from the construction illustrated in the preceding embodiments in that tie surface piece 28h is not sewed at the ends to tie surface piece 30h, but rather the tie is left, open at each end (see Figure l0) Thus, the longitudinal folds may be impressed into the tie with the longitudinal seams of the twoftie surface pieces either at the two longitudinal edges, asillustrated in Figure 8, or centrally located between the two edges, as illustrated in Figure 9, or bearing some other relationship with respect to the sides of the tie. Hence the tie may be used to present a variety of configurations under the control of the wearer.
It is to be kept in mind that the drawings herein are purely by way of exemplication and as such are necessarily more or less diagrammatic. As several additional embodiments may be made of the above invention without departing from the scope thereof, it is to be understood that all matter herein set forth or shown in the accompanying drawings is to be interpretedV as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
Iclaim:
A four-in-hand necktie of the character described comprising dissirnilarly surfaced pieces of necktie material secured together along their edges to form a tube-like necktie of conventional length and width, said tube-like necktie -being left open at each end whereby the tie may be flattened along any two opposing longitudinally running fold lines, and each open end being formed by a finished edge which runs endlessly therearound approximately perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the necktie whereby the endsof the neclitieV present a neat appearance irrespective of the location of the longitudinally running fold lines.
