Abstract
A four-in-hand necktie adapted to be hand-tied in the usual manner, but being divided intermediate its ends into two sections joined by a separable fastener so positioned as to be disposed in the neck band portion of the necktie when it is tied, whereby once it is tied, it can be applied or removed by use of the fastener, leaving the knot tied at all times. The fastener is of a special construction adapting it for use in converting any pre-existing four-in-hand necktie to snap-on usage.
Claims1
A device for converting an ordinary four-in-hand necktie for snap-on usage, when said necktie is transversely severed intermediate its ends, said device comprising:
- a. a pair of tabs adapted to be secured respectively to the severed ends of said necktie, each of said tabs comprising an elongated double layer of flexible sheet material, said layers being bonded together at one end portion of said tab to a transverse bond line spaced apart from the opposite end of said tab, the opposite end portions of said layers constituting free flaps adapted to receive the associated severed end portion of said necktie therebetween,
- b. a separable fastener including a pair of mating elements secured respectively to said tabs, each fastener element being secured in the bonded portion of its associated tab in spaced apart relation from the bond line of said tab, at least one of said flaps of each tab having a transverse indicia line imprinted thereon at a distance from said bond line equal to the spacing of said fastener element at the opposite side of said bond line, whereby if the cut end portion of said necktie is inserted between said flaps to said bond line, while folded on itself so that its extreme end extends to said indicia line, the length of said necktie will not be changed by insertion of said device, and
- c. means for securing the flap portions of each of said tabs to the necktie end portion disposed therebetween.
