Description
March 13, 1951 s. P. TUPY FOUR-IN-HAND TIE HOLDER Filed May 12 1948 Snnentor Gttomeus Patented Mar. 13, 1951 UNITED STATES; PATENT OFFICE I 2,545,322 rota-innate Tm HOLDER StephenR'Tupy, Bridgeport, Conn. Application Mayra 194 serial No. 26304 1 This invention relates hand ties, and has for an-- object to provide a simple and errectivedevice for hoidingaknotted- 'feur-in-hand tie in proper position; and prevent.
its loosening.
Anotherobject is toiprovide-such a device which willmaintain the knot indefinitely in its original shape andcondition to maintain the ir'ie'atand attractive appearance of 'the knot.
Another object is topro'v'ide adevice of this character which is entirely covered by the'tie,
so that its presence is not evident, and one may be easily and quickly released in un'tying thetie.
With the foregoing and-other cbjectsin view,
I have devised the construction-illustrated'inthe accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification. Itis,'however, to be understood the invention is not limited to the specific details ofoonstruction and arrangementshowh, but may embody various changes-and modifications within the scope of the invention.
'Inthis drawing: i
Fig. lis a'front view of a knottediour-in-hand tie showing this device in place in dotted lines Fig. rzis a; partial side and partial perspective. view-principally ofithe rear portion of the-knotted tie with this device in place Fig. 3is a rearview of the knotted this device in place Fig. 4 is a front-view of the holder removed; Fig. an aside view thereof right of Fig. 4, and
Fig. 6 is afront view of the lower looped end portion showing a slight modification.
The front or main portion of the tie compris material which has sufficient stiffness to maintain its shape and to hold the tie. Spaced below the upper end of this body portion and on the opposite side edges thereof are outwardly and upwardly extending stop lugs l1, preferably recessed at their upper edges as indicated at [8, and above v ,these lugs the upper portion i6 is preferably inclined forwardly, as indicated in Fig. 5, although to a holder-'ior tie showing looking, from the not necessarily so. At the lower and of the body.
portion it is provided withzan open transverse loop [9 with a transverse elongated opening 01' slot ZiI-through it, and this looped portion-is also preferably longitudinal-1y curved with the concave side toward-the back or rear. At its opposite ends it is provided with a pair of holdin prong- 24, which are pointed and formed in anysuitabl way, such; for exampleeas by lan -in th mi e the material of the loop and bending their hare;
painted ends 'forwardlyras indicated n Figs. 4 and' 5. This looped portion is also provided with a downwardly and forw rd-lyi int d prong; 2 2 on the lower bar of. the loop, andnreferably in lined: downwardly and forwardly from the lowerd of this bar,
In using the devicethe knot is tied 'in the u ual;
manner Then the free end of the rear or narrow run 12 oizthe knotted tie is passed through the: slot 20 or the lower end portion I9 of the holdenv the end beingzpassedgfrom the rear thro h to; the front of the holder. The upper end portion; I6 of the holder is then inserted into the knot from the lower end thereof between theforwardi fold l3 and the rear portion 23 of the foldso, that-this upper end is enclosed within the knot; and. it is inserted; until the stop lugs. I?! engage-i the lower edges 24 of the backportion 23 of this the tie and the lower :pron'g 2271s hookedinto the rear or back run of the'narrower portion I2 of. the .tie. After these eonnectionshavelbeeh made it willIbe seen the holder: retainsl'the whole tiein these relative positions. Theupper forwardly inclined fportion l6 within the knot 13 holds it to shape and alsoholds it outwardly to give an improved appearance, andprevents its flattening orrnollapsingn Theistop lugs llcooperatingwith the lower edges of the fold 23 prevent the rear run [2 of the tie from pulling up through the knot as this run is-held by the prong 22. Also, this prong together with the prongs 2| prevent the holder from sliding downwardly out of the knot, and the prongs 2| and the loop l9 secure the two portions of the tie comprising the main or front portion l0 and the rear run or narrower portion I2 together. Thus, the whole knotted tie is held to form as originally tied and its neat and attractive appearance is maintained. It is also held against loosening when worn, preventing the knot from moving away from the proper position on the collar. In fact, it retains the original neat and attractive appearance indefinitely. On untying the tie, all that is necessary is to disconnect the prong 22 from the rear run l2 and the prongs 2| from the main portion I0, after which the device may be readily removed from the knot and the tie untied in the usual manner.
The modified construction of Fig. 6 is essentially the same as that of Figs. 1 to 5, except the lower looped end portion l9a i made somewhat shorter and wider than the portion l9, and the forwardly inclined prongs 2| at the ends of this looped portion, instead of being in alignment with the slot or opening 20 as in the first form,
are located somewhat above it, and to more readily mount these prongs and provide sufficient stock or material to support them the upper part 25 of the looped portion above the slot 20 is made somewhat wider. Otherwise the construction is the same as that shown in Figs. 1 and 5, and the operation and use is the same as for this construction.
Having thus set forth the nature of my invention, I claim:
1. A holder for a knotted four-in-hand tie comprising an upright body portion including a substantially flat upper end portion adapted to be inserted in the knotted portion of the tie from its lower end, laterally extending stop lugs on the opposite side edges of said body to engage the lower edge of the fold of the knot to limit the insertion of said upper end portion into the knot, and an open loop at the lower end of the body portion to receive the rear run of the tie and pro-' vided with pointed lugs to grip and hold the rear side of the front portion of the tie and another pointed lug to grip and hold the rear run of the tie extending through said loop.-
