Abstract
A neckerchief slide has one form that has a rigid body with a flat body portion and three spaced, rigid loops that project outwardly and rearwardly from the body portion, and a flashlight integrated into the body portion. The loops define apertures for the ends of a neckerchief. One end of the neckerchief goes through one aperture, the other end goes through another aperture, and both ends go behind the body portion and through the third aperture. The bulb of the flashlight points down during normal wear, and is easily pointed forward without removing the slide from the neckerchief or the flashlight from the slide. A second form of a neckerchief slide omits the flashlight. Indicia is displayed on the front of the neckerchief slide.

A neckerchief slide for holding two ends of a neckerchief, comprising:
- a generally flat, round body portion having a front face, a spaced back face, a peripheral outer rim between said front and back faces, an inner rim that defines a flashlight aperture that extends from said front face to said back face and a gap extending downwardly from said inner rim to said outer rim,
- spaced first, second and third projecting portions each having a pair of spaced leg portions that project outwardly and curve rearwardly from said rim and an end portion that connects said leg portions opposite said outer rim, said leg portions and said end portion of said first, second and third projecting portions, with said outer rim, defining first, second and third neckerchief apertures, respectively, said first and second projecting portions projecting upwardly and laterally from opposite sides of said outer rim, said third projecting portion projecting downwardly with said leg portions of said third projecting portion on opposite sides of said gap, said first, second and third projecting portions being equally spaced around said outer rim, said body portion and said first, second and third projecting portions being a single piece body, and
- a flashlight integrated into said body portion, said flashlight having a front portion, a spaced back portion and an outwardly opening channel between said front and back portions, said channel being sized and shaped to fit inside said inner rim with said front and back portions extending outwardly beyond said inner rim, said flashlight having a light emitting diode that is aligned with said gap and a switch on said back portion for activating said light emitting diode,
- whereby one end of said neckerchief goes through said first neckerchief aperture, the other end of said neckerchief goes through said second neckerchief aperture and both ends of said neckerchief go behind said body portion and through said third neckerchief aperture, and said flashlight emits light through said gap.

- a generally flat, rigid body portion having a front face, a spaced back face, and a peripheral outer rim between said front and back faces, and
- spaced, rigid, generally loop shaped first, second and third projecting portions that project outwardly and curve rearwardly from said outer rim that define first, second and third neckerchief apertures, respectively,
- whereby one end of said neckerchief goes through said first neckerchief aperture, the other end of said neckerchief goes through said second neckerchief aperture and both ends of said neckerchief go behind said body portion and through said third neckerchief aperture,
- said first, second and third projecting portions each having a paid of spaced leg portions and an end portion that connects said leg portions opposite said outer rim, said leg portions and said end portion of said first, second and third projecting portions, with said outer rim, defining first, second and third neckerchief apertures,
- a flashlight integrated into said body portion,
- said body portion having an inwardly facing inner rim that defines a flashlight aperture that extends from said front face to said back face, and
- said flashlight having a front portion, a spaced back portion and an outwardly opening channel between said front and back portions, said channel being sized and shaped to fit inside said inner rim with said front and back portions extending outwardly beyond said inner rim,
- whereby said body portion retains said flashlight.
