Abstract
A three part necktie manager, such as a tie clasp, having a bar for insertion into a buttonhole of a shirt, a short chain, and a unique wire clamping member. The clamping member, formed of a spring like metal of predetermined length, is configured to form a pair of opposed V-shaped legs, each leg having an inturned or reverse bend end facing its companion end, whereby manual squeezing of the respective V-shaped legs toward each other separates the inturned ends to allow temporary gripping of the rear face of the tie.
Claims6
A necktie control device, which when worn by a user is generally not visible to one observing said user, where said device is adapted to be used in conjunction with a necktie worn on a collared shirt having a series of button holes and complementary buttons positioned down the front of said shit, said device comprising:
- a.) a bar sized to be inserted into and temporarily retained by one of said button holes;
- b.) a necktie wire clamping member comprising a bent wire of predetermined length and generally configured in a planar maimer, said wire having a pair of V-shaped legs joined together at one respective end and a free end, said free end having a reverse bend, whereby a compressive pressure on said V-shaped legs will effect a separation of said free ends to allow temporary gripping and control of said necktie;
- c.) a chain hingedly secured to and between said bar and said V-shaped legs;
- and
- d.) Wherein the reverse bend of said free end is approximately 180 degrees, such that the respective free ends face each other.
