Necktie knot simulator

A knot simulator for a four-in-hand necktie, which necktie comprises an elongate strip of fabric which is normally worm by wrapping an portion of the necktie intermediate the free ends thereof around the wearer's neck under the collar of his shirt, forming a knot in the general shape of an inverted, truncated triangle in the portions of the free ends of said necktie extending just past the wearer's collar, allowing said free ends to extend downwardly therefrom in overlapped relationship, said knot simulator comprising

• (a) a body in the general shape of an inverted, truncated triangle and having
• (i) an upper portion,
• (ii) a lower portion,
• (iii) front, side and rear surfaces generally shaped, contoured and dimensioned such that said surfaces corresond to and simulate the front, side and rear surfaces of a four-in-hand necktie knot,
• (iv) first and second spaced apart generally opposed sloped shoulder surfaces on said upper portion of said body contiguous to said front, side and rear surfaces,
• (v) first and second apertures formed through said first and second shoulder surfaces, respectively, and
• (vi) a third aperture formed in said bottom portion of said body;
• (b) a first arcuate channel extending through said body from said first aperture to said third aperture and shaped, contoured and dimensioned to permit one of said free ends to pass therethrough such that said body can be slidably moved up and down along a first intermediate portion of said tie;
• and,
• (c) a second arcuate channel extending through said body from said second aperture to said third aperture and shaped, contoured and dimensioned to permit the other of said free ends to pass therethrough such that said body can be slidably moved up and down along a second intermediate portion of said tie, said second arcuate channel passing through said body in overlapping relationship with said first arcuate channel.
