Abstract
A modular necktie with simulated knot detachably affixable to a fabric stem and elongated fabric tie, the knot enclosure comprising a microphone and wireless transmission means in some embodiments. The knot enclosure may comprise a ratcheting mechanism and may be formed from a plurality of interconnected components.
Claims20
A modular necktie comprising:
- a knot enclosure that is formed of a polymeric or metallic material, the knot enclosure having a top edge, a bottom edge opposite the top edge, a front surface, and a rear surface opposite the front surface, the knot enclosure including an attachment channel that extends vertically within the knot enclosure and includes an opening at the bottom edge;
- a fabric stem having a proximal head and a distal end that is coupled to the proximal head via a shank, the proximal head including a magnet that interlocks with a magnet contained in at least one surface within the attachment channel when the proximal head is inserted into the attachment channel to thereby secure the fabric stem to the knot enclosure;
- and
- a tie portion that is formed of a fabric material, the tie portion being secured to the shank of the fabric stem such that the tie portion extends downwardly from the knot enclosure when the magnet included in the proximal head of the fabric stem is interlocked with the magnet contained in the at least one surface within the attachment channel.

- a fabric stem having a proximal head and a distal end that is coupled to the proximal head via a shank, the proximal head being configured to interlock with multiple surfaces within the attachment channel when the proximal head is inserted into the attachment channel to thereby secure the fabric stem to the knot enclosure;
- and
- a tie portion that is formed of a fabric material, the tie portion being secured around the shank of the fabric stem such that the tie portion extends downwardly from the knot enclosure when the proximal head of the fabric stem is interlocked with the at least one surface within the attachment channel.

A modular necktie comprising:
- a knot enclosure having a top edge, a bottom edge opposite the top edge, a front surface, and a rear surface opposite the front surface, the knot enclosure including an attachment channel that extends vertically within the knot enclosure and includes an opening at the bottom edge, the knot enclosure including one or more attachment channel magnets contained in at least one surface within the attachment channel;
- a first fabric stem having a first proximal head and a first distal end that is coupled to the first proximal head via a first shank, the first proximal head including a first magnet that interlocks with the one or more attachment channel magnets when the first proximal head is inserted into the attachment channel to thereby secure the first fabric stem to the knot enclosure;
- a first tie portion that is formed of a fabric material, the first tie portion being secured to the first shank of the first fabric stem such that the first tie portion extends downwardly from the knot enclosure when the first magnet included in the first proximal head of the first fabric stem is interlocked with the one or more attachment channel magnets;
- a second fabric stem having a second proximal head and a second distal end that is coupled to the second proximal head via a second shank, the second proximal head including a second magnet that interlocks with the one or more attachment channel magnets when the second proximal head is inserted into the attachment channel to thereby secure the second fabric stem to the knot enclosure;
- and
- a second tie portion that is formed of a fabric material, the second tie portion being secured to the second shank of the second fabric stem such that the second tie portion extends downwardly from the knot enclosure when the second magnet included in the second proximal head of the second fabric stem is interlocked with the one or more attachment channel magnets.
