Necktie knot support assembly

Abstract

A support and fastening means for producing a pre-tied necktie, using a modified form of body member and spring clamp thereon, in which the spring clamp and body member eliminate costly and expensive labor while producing a superior product. This result is accomplished by molding the body member with a horizontally slotted front arm which slidably receives the spring clamp, the body member and spring clamp further having complementary prong and opening means respectively, so formed as to inter-engage with a snap, and non-removable relationship. The body member further is molded with front positioning means for the spring clamp. In addition, a rear post for elevating or tilting the formed knot forwardly, or more horizontally, is also molded integrally with the body member for improving the appearance of the knot. As a result, it remains only necessary to snap the spring clamp into place without requiring any riveting or the like, while nevertheless producing a more firmly and better operating support assembly.
