Abstract
A necktie assembly incorporates a simulated necktie knot and a neckband that allows a fabric necktie tail portion to be added without making a conventional knot. The neckband may be elastic and may be opened, closed, and adjusted in a number of ways. The simulated knot is made in a fashion that leaves a hollow pocket useful for carrying and concealing small articles of many sorts, among these objects a small microphone which may be connected to a transmitter. The body of the simulated knot also serves as a display area for indicia of many sorts, such as emblems, advertising, and the like.
Claims16
A necktie assembly, comprising:
- a simulated knot comprising a three-cornered hollow body having self-supporting walls including a front surface and a rear surface, a first opening at one corner, a second opening substantially equal to the first opening at a second corner, a third opening larger than the first and the second opening, the third opening at a third corner, and a fourth opening larger than the third opening in the rear surface positioned immediately below a line extending between the first and second openings;
- a neckband passing into the first opening, through the hollow body, and out the second opening;
- a liner component shaped to fit and inserted into the fourth opening of the simulated knot into the interior of the hollow body;
- and
- a necktie tail portion passing into the third opening, over the neckband, and out the third opening;
- wherein the liner component is adapted to support an article inserted into the liner component to be concealed by the necktie assembly.
A method for forming a necktie assembly, comprising steps of
- (a) fashioning a simulated knot comprising a three-cornered hollow body having self-supporting walls, a first opening at one corner, a second opening substantially equal to the first opening at a second corner, and a third opening larger than the first and the second opening, the third opening at a third corner;
- (b) passing a neckband into the first opening, through the hollow body, and out the second opening;
- (c) drawing a loop of the neckband from the interior of the hollow body out through the third opening;
- (d) draping a necktie tail component through the loop of the neckband drawn out through the third opening such the necktie tail component forms a front portion and a rear portion;
- and
- (e) drawing the necktie tail component into the hollow body by withdrawing the neckband through the third opening, providing thereby a simulated necktie with a knot.
