Abstract
A necktie dimpling tool for depressing the area below a knot placed in a necktie forming a generally vertical dimple in the necktie just below the knot including a pair of pivotally attached and opposing ribs arranged so that a compressive force is maintained between the pair of ribs. The tool may also include a third or center rib disposed between the pair of ribs. The center rib may be pivotable in relation to the pair of ribs and may be arranged so that a compressive force is maintained between the center rib and/or both of the pair of pivotally attached and opposing ribs.
Claims16
A necktie dimpling tool for forming a dimple below a knot formed in a necktie comprising:
- an outer rib including an inner face and an outer face, the outer rib including a dowel;
- an inner rib including an inner face and an outer face, the inner rib pivotally attached to and opposing the outer rib;
- a pivot pin pivotally connecting the outer rib to the inner rib at a pivot point;
- a first spring element disposed between the inner rib and the outer rib for maintaining a compressive force between the inner rib and the outer rib.
A necktie dimpling tool for forming a dimple below a knot formed in a necktie comprising:
- an outer rib including an inner face and an outer face, the outer rib including a curve extending along the length of the inner face of the outer rib;
- an inner rib including an inner face and an outer face, the inner rib pivotally attached to and opposing the outer rib;
- a pivot pin pivotally connecting the outer rib to the inner rib;
- a center rib;
- and
- a first spring element disposed between the inner rib and the outer rib for maintaining a compressive force between the inner rib and the outer rib.

- an outer rib including an inner face and an outer face;
- an inner rib including an inner face and an outer face, the inner rib pivotally attached to and opposing the outer rib, and the inner rib further comprises a curve extending along the length of the inner face of the inner rib;
- a pivot pin pivotally connecting the outer rib to the inner rib at a pivot point;
- a center rib including an inner face and an outer face, the center rib disposed between the inner rib and the outer rib;
- a first spring element disposed between the inner rib and the center rib for maintaining a compressive force between the inner rib and center rib;
- and
- a second spring element disposed between the outer rib and the center rib for maintaining a compressive force between the outer rib and the center rib.
