Abstract
The tie clasp is formed from a single sheet of spring metal and is secured to a narrow band by an adhesive strip, after which the band is secured at each end to the broad portion of a four-in-hand necktie, the distance between the stitches at each end of the band being such as to admit the small end of the tie between the portion of the tie and the band, the clasp itself having a slotted base portion and a folded spring clip folded over the slot in the base portion wherein the slot is substantially wider than the folded clip portion to allow a substantial distance on each side of the spring clip to provide ample space for the shirt material to be depressed into the slot between the inner surface of the base portion and the spring clip to increase the holding power of the clasp.
Claims5
A tie clasp of resilient metal having a base portion of elongated form and having an elongated slot extending longitudinally through the central portion thereof to a point adjacent one end of the base, a spring clip formed integrally with the base portion on the opposite end of the base portion and folded over the said slot adapted to engage the fabric of the open side of a shirt, the clip being substantially narrower than the slot and extending inwardly into the slot to a point where the clip is at least in a plane with the remaining portion of the base portion, a fabric strip for supporting the said clasp, the fabric strip having a slot adjacent one end thereof for receiving the spring clip, adhesive means for securing the outer side of the base portion of the clasp to one side of the fabric strip and means for securing the fabric strip to a necktie, the spring clip being of such width as to allow space for the shirt fabric to be forced into the slot about the lateral edges of the spring clip, the material forced into the slot being at least as far as the plane of the remainder of the base portion.
