NEGKTIE-TURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 14, 1908.

Application filed December 26, 1907. Serial No. 408,138.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. DRYDEN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie- Turners, of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to a necktie turner, my object being to construct a simple device and apparatus to be utilized in turning or reversing the bodies or outer coverings of neckties, and to provide means for conveniently holding the necktie lining or padding so that when the body or covering of the tie has been turned the lining or pad is properly positioned therein.

A further object of my invention is to construct a necktie turner with lining engaging devices which hold the lining at both ends, and one of which devices is adjustable for linings of difierent lengths.

A further object of my invention is to generally improve the construction of the device described in an application for patent filed by me October 8, 1907, Serial No. 396,506.

To the above purposes, my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in the claims, and illustrated in the accomp anying'drawings, in which;-

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a necktie turner of my improved construction; Fig. 2 is a plan view of a portion of the turning blade or plate, and showing the adjustable clamp or engaging device thereon ;'Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2; Fig.4 is a plan view of the forward end of the turning blade or plate.

Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings :1 designates a base, in the form of a rectangular block, supported on legs 2 and in one side of said base, near the top, is formed a horizontally dis osed opening 3, and immediately below this opening is a small opening 4.

5 designates the body of the turner, which is in the form of an elongated plate, corresponding in sha e to the shape of the ties to be turned; and ormed integral with the forward end of said late is a prong 6. Fixed to the rear end of the plate-is a cylindrical handle 7, which is adapted to snugly fit in the opening 3, thereby holding the turner in a in tubular form and .ranged on that portion of the horizontal position. Arranged to slide longitudinally on the plate, adjacent the handle 3, is a clamp or. engaging device, com rising a plate 8, which rests on top of the p ate 5, with its side edges 9 bent beneath the edges of said late 5. Integral with the rear end of the p ate 8 is an ear 10, by means of which said plate is shifted; and fixed on top of the plate, in any suitable manner, is a housing 11, in which is held a flat spring 12, the free end of which normally bears on the cross bar 13 of a clamping plate 14, which, when swung downward into a horizontal plane, bears on the ends of the tie linings positioned on the plate 5. Detachably seated in the opening 4 is a rod or rail 15, which serves as a support for the tie linings and coverings.

-When a turner of my improved construction is in use, the handle 7 18 inserted in the opening 3, thus rigidly supporting the plate 5, and a ad or tie ining is positioned on top of said p ate 5, with the narrow end of said lining engaged on the prong 6, and the opposite end held beneath the spring pressed clamping plate 14.

The small end of the tie covering, which is wrong side out, is now engaged upon the prong 6; and said covering is sli ped over the plate 1 on which the lining is he d; and by said movement the covering or body of the tie is reversed or turned right side out; and when the turning operation is completed, the lining or pad is properly positioned inside the covering. he clamping plate 14 is now elevated to release the end of. the tie lining, and said lining and the tie covering are now removed from the plate.

By the use of a device of my improved construction, the turning operation can be very ra idly performed, hussaving much time, la or, and expense in the manufacture of neckwear, and the tie linings are held in convenient position on the plate, with both ends engaged, and one of the engaging devices is adjustable for tie linings of different lengths.

I claim 1. In a necktie turner the combination with a base in which is formed an aperture, of a plate, one end of which is seated in the aperture, a prong integral with the op osite end of the p ate, and. a clamp adjustab y arlate adjacent the end which is seated in the ase.

2. In a necktie turner, the combination with a base in which is formed an aperture, of a plate, a handle formed on one end of the plate, which handle is detachably arranged in the aperture in the base, a prong integral with the, opposite end of the plate, and a clamp adjustably arranged on the plate adj acent the handle.

3. In a necktie turner, the combination with a base in which is formed an aperture, of a plate, a handle formed on one end of the plate, which handle is detachably arranged in the aperture in the base, a prong integral with the opposite end of the plate, a clamp adjustably arranged on the plate adjacent the handle, and a rod having one end seated in the base adjacent the handle of the plate.

4. In a necktie turner, the combination with a base in which is formed an aperture,

1 an elongated plate tapering from one end to the other, a handle formed on the wide end of the plate and which handle is seated in the base, a pron on the opposite end of the plate,

j an adjustabIe clamp arranged on the plate I adjacent the handle, and a supporting rod seated in the base and lying parallel with the plate.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in presence of twb subscribing witnesses.
