Abstract
Exemplary embodiments will provide an apparatus for restraining a portion of a distal portion of a neck-worn clothing accessory, such as a neck tie, scarf, or other such clothing accessory, by connecting a rear, or underneath, portion of the clothing accessory to an underlying garment. Exemplary embodiments could restrain a portion of the distal portion of such a neck-worn clothing accessory without piercing or creasing any part of the exposed front surface of the neck-worn clothing accessory. An exemplary embodiment will include an underneath-portion engaging element, a connective element, and an exemplary garment-engaging element.
Claims13
An apparatus for restraining a distal portion of a neck-worn clothing accessory to an underlying garment, the apparatus comprising:
- an underneath-portion-engaging element that is adapted for connecting to a cavity-forming expanse of material attached on each of its ends to an underneath portion of the neck-worn clothing accessory, said underneath-portion-engaging element comprising:
- a front arm that is adapted for positioning on a top surface of said cavity-forming expanse of material, said front arm comprising a planar front element that comprises a top side and a bottom side;
- a back element that is adapted for positioning in a cavity formed between the underneath portion of the tie and said cavity-forming expanse of material, said back element comprising a planar back arm that comprises a top side and a bottom side;
- and
- a joint element connecting said front arm and said back element;
- and
- a connective element comprising a first end connected to the underneath-portion-engaging element and a second end connected to a garment-engaging element.
