Description
JanLl3, 1953 w. R. REES TIE FORMING AND HOLDING PIN Filed July 25. 1949 INVENTOR. Iva/fer 6 Fees A TTORNE Patented Jan. 13, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICZE This invention relates to accessories for use with clothing and more particularly to a pin adapted for releasable mounting on a necktie in such manner as to hold the tie in a desired, attractive manner extended outwardly from the wearer's body in a slight bulging, the pin also being adapted to maintain the tie with its knot properly aligned and in place.
It is the most important object of the present invention to provide a forming and holding pin for neckties having a pair of spaced apart clips, each adapted for releasable connection with the tie behind one length thereof and having a member joined therewith by resilient means for engaging the tie and not only holding the same slightly protruded but transversely taut.
Other objects of the present invention relate to the way in which the necktie pin is provided with a pair of spaced apart clips that are held biased apart by resilient arms, the arms being integral and formed into a loop, which loop serves as a means to hold the tie in a bulged condition; the way in which the loop and the clips are normally in spaced apart parallel planes; the way in which the distance between the aforesaid planes increases as the clips are moved together; and the manner of limiting the extent of resiliency in the tie-engaging loop itself.
Other more minor objects will be made clear or become apparent as the following specification progresses, reference being made to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of a necktie showing the position and form thereof when the pin forming the subject matter'hereof is placed in use.
Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of the tie showing the position of the forming and holding pin made in accordance with my present invention.
Fig. 3 is a front elevational view of the pin per se.
Fig. 4 is a rear elevational view thereof.
Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the pin showing in dotted lines the position of the component parts thereof when the pin is in use; and
Fig. 6 is a transverse, cross-sectional view taken on line VI--VI of Fig. 4.
Wearers of neckties appreciate the aggravating problem of maintaining the knot of the tie in the desired position and against loosening as well as the problem of holding the tie in an attractive position slightly bulged outwardly away from the shirt adjacent the knot.
Many attempts have heretofore been made to 3 Claims. (Cl. 2-157) provide pins and the like to meet these problems" but for the most part the same have been complicated, heavy, inexpensive and unattractive. As.
will hereinafter appear, the pin forming the sub ject matter hereof is simple, easy to apply and remove, capable of holding the tie exactly as desired and of such nature as to be completely hidden from view when mounted upon the tie and placed in use.
The pin forming the subject matter hereof is' adequately set forth in Figs. 3 to 6 inclusive as well as in Fig. 2 by dotted lines behind one length ll] of a necktie broadly designated by the numeral.
12. As is well known, the tie is'formed'into a knot 14 after encircling the neck of the wearer beneath collar l6 of a shirt. length Ill thereof which covers and hides from view the shorter stretch ll of the tie is relatively wide and should be kept stretched to its full width as'nearly as possible for attractiveness.
Furthermore, it is desirable that the knot of the wearers shirt.
For the most part, the pin is formed from an initially straight length of material that may be wire-like and that is resilient. Such elongated length of wire-like material is first formed midway between the ends thereof into a loop l8 pre-- senting a pair of legs 20 and 22 that cross and engage at 24. The outermost ends of the legs 20 and 22 are thereupon formed into clips of identical nature, both of which are designated by the numeral 28.
opposite to its sharpened point 32 is secured directly to the respective leg 20 or 22 as the case may be as by soldering 34. It is noted that the pins 30 converge as the soldered ends 34 thereof are approached, extend through the loop form,- ing the clips 28 and are held in engaging relationship with the loop adjacent the end 32 thereof by the inherent resiliency of the material fronr which the entire pin is formed.
The legs 20 and 22 are not interconnected at.
the crossing point 24 but are in slidable interengagement and are held in such position by the resiliency of the material from which the pin is made.
The loop The stretch or i8 is held against undue flexingmovement by a transverse strap 35 having ears 38 on the ends thereof that overlap and clip tightly upon the loop [8 for holding strap 36 in place.
As shown in full lines in Fig. 5, the two loops forming clips 28 are normally in a plane that is spaced from and substantially parallel with the loop [8. Because of the resiliency of the arms 20 and 22, the clips 28 will move toward and away from the plane of the loop [8 as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 5 and furthermore, the clips 23 may move toward and away from each other. Obviously, as the arms 20 and 22 are moved to increase the size of the loop by moving the clips 28 toward each other, the loop I8 will be moved outwardly with the distance between the planes of the loops [8 and the clips 28 increased.
In use, the pin is placed behind the stretch ID of tie l2 slightly below the knot l4 thereof with that face of the pin shown in Fig. 4 next adjacent the wearers shirt. Before applying the clips 28 to the tie I2, the operator moves clips :28 slightly together as shown by dotted lines .in Fig. 5 and forces the pins 32 into the fabric material from which stretch ill of tie I2 is made. Because of the double thickness of the stretch 10 at the point of application of the device, the pins 32 will pierce the rearmost thickness of stretch I0 and not protrude through to the outermost face of the tie 42. Furthermore,
because of the way in which the pins '32 bear against their respective loops, the fabric of the tie l2 will be clamped tightly in place and yet permit easy removal of the device from the tie. After the two clips 28 have been applied to the tie 12, the tendency for the same to move outwardly away from each other because of the resiliency of loop l8, will cause the stretch it] of the tie 12 to be held taut transversely. Furthermore, the tendency of the clips 28 to move away from each other, will cause the loop [8 to be held outwardly in an offset relationship with respect to the clips 28 and thereby hold the tie l2 bulged slightly outwardly immediately below the knot H as at 40. The tie ID will accordingly, as
shown in Fig. 1, be transversely arched at the bul e 40 and when viewed from the side, the entire device forming the subject matter hereof, will be fully hidden from view. When the tie is held in a bulged condition, as well as transversely taut, immediately below the knot M, the latter will not have a tendency become loose and misplaced. 'Instead, knot M will assume an angular position as shown in Fig. 1, will not slide beneath the collar [6, and will not hang downwardlv in a loose condition as is common when a device of the nature hereof is not used.
The unattractive flat condition of the tie against the chest of wearer is entirely eliminated.
Furthermore, the holding pin is easily applied the extent of movement of the fabric onto pins 30.
By use of the strap 35 flexing movement of the loop I8 is limited to points adjacent the crossing point 24 of legs 20 and 22 and loop [8 is therefore, rendered .more rigid and capable of holding the tie transversely taut without undue stretching or harmful effects thereon.
The angularity of the pins 30 serves to hold the device in place since there is always a tendency for the pins 30 to move into the fabric by the action of arms 20 and 22.
It is also to be noted that the back stretch ll of the tie I2 is inserted between the stretch it and the loop 18. Thus, the two stretches l0 and ii do not become relatively displaced from the desired superimposed relationship. Further, the two stretches l0 and H are free to slip 1ongitudinally, and binding, that takes place when such stretches are pinned together or to the wearers shirt, is eliminated.
It is appreciated that many changes and modifications may be .made to the tie holding and forming pin forming the subject matter hereof and those that fairly fall within the broad concepts of the invention as defined by the appended claims, are contemplated hereby.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
