US 6,205,587 B1 · Necktie

Abstract

A reversible dual necktie and method of constructing the same wherein, in one preferred embodiment, complete single four-in-hand type first and second neckties are provided with releasable and cooperable first and second fasteners attached to tie posterior sides of said ties in predetermined locations coordinated for inter-coupling cooperation. The ties are releasably assembled together by juxtaposing the posterior sides of the two ties in mutually facing relation with the fasteners mutually registered and then inter-coupling the fasteners to thereby provide a dual reversible necktie. Preferably the orientation of the fastener predetermined locations is such that the ties upon being so coupled are thereby aligned in laterally staggered off-set relationship such that only one longitudinal edge of the posterior surface of the second tie is exposed to view by a frontal observer of the tie user-wear, and such second tie edge appears along the adjacent longitudinal edge of the first tie when the dual necktie is worn with the first tie outermost, and vice versa upon reversal.

A dual four-in-hand necktie formed from at least a first single four-in-hand necktie having a wider dress first end portion and a longitudinally opposite narrower second end portion normally hidden beneath said first end portion as worn in use to thereby at least initially constitute, in a first user-worn orientation, a complete single four-in-hand tie, and further formed from a second tie having at least a first portion generally longitudinally dimensionally conforming to at least said first end portion of said first tie, said first tie being fastened along the length of at least its wider first end portion on a first exterior surface thereof to an exterior surface of said second tie,

said first and second ties being constructed and arranged for alignment as so fastened in laterally overlapping and staggered off-set relationship with one of said ties outermost as worn and such that at least a first longitudinal edge of said exterior surface of said second tie is thereby exposed to view along an adjacent first longitudinal edge of at least said wider first end portion of said first tie in the first user-worn orientation as viewed by a frontal observer of the tie user-wearer, and the overlapping relationship of said ties as so fastened causes one longitudinal edge of one of said ties to be thereby hidden from such view by being covered by said outermost tie.

A method of constructing a reversible dual necktie comprising the steps of:

(1) providing a complete single four-in-hand type first necktie,
(2) providing a complete single four-in-hand type second necktie,
(3) providing releasable and cooperable first and second fastening means,
(4) attaching said first fastening means to the posterior side of said first tie in predetermined locations,
(5) attaching said second fastening means to the posterior side of said second tie in predetermined locations coordinated for coupling cooperation with said first fastening means,
(6) assembling said first and second ties together by juxtaposing said posterior sides of said ties in mutually facing relation with said first and second fastening means mutually registered, and
(7) coupling said first and second fastening means to thereby provide a dual reversible necktie.
