WALTER R. MORSON AND EDGAR BEAUMONT JARVIS, OF TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA.

To all whom it may concern Beitknown ,thatwe, WALTER R. MORSON and EDGAR BEAUMONT JARVIS, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie-Supports, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to devices on which a tie can be made up and by means of which it can be secured in place at the opening of a turn-down collar without any part of the tie being carried around the collar, and our object is to devise a form of the simplest possible construction, and therefore cheap, and one which requires only one point of connection with the clothing and is therefore easily attached and detached, and which exposes no metal to view when the tie is in place.

We attain our object by means of the constructions hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of a support constructed in accordance with our invention;

Fig. 2 a side elevation of the same;

Fig. 3 a plan View with the parts separated; and

Fig. 4 a front elevation showing a slight modification.

In the drawings like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.

Referring particularly to Figs l, 2 and 3, 1 is an attaching member to which is connected a transverse loop member 2 forming a tie holder. In these figures of the drawings the attaching memberis formed from sheet metal and the loop member of wire, the ends of the wire being at the middle of the lower and rearward side.

On the attaching member is formed a tongue 3bent over to embrace the ends of the wire of the loop, the whole being secured by brazing or soldering. In the attaching member is formed an oblong transverse slot 4.

5 is a collar button member provided with a flattened shank of approximately the same size and form in cross section as the slot aforesaid. The shank is provided with means for releasably retaining the attaching member on the shank. We show a preferred arrangement in which two loops 7 Specification of Ietters Patent. 7 Patented Sept 20, 1921, Application filed April 19,1917. Serial No. 163,274..

and 8 are employed of no greater thickness than the shank by having alined pivots 9 formed at their ends, which pivots fit into bearings 10 formed at the outer end of the shank, which bearings also are of no greater thickness than the shank. The ends of the bearings are provided with the notches 11 into which the loop members spring when either in the extended form shown in Fig. 3 or in the bent up form shown in Fig. 2.

From this arrangement it follows that the loops and bearings in the collar button member pass easily through the slot 4:. The shank member being of substantially the same form and dimensions as the slot, the attaching member can neither turn nor move sidewise on the shank, and as the shank when in use will pass through horizontal elongated button holes formed in the icollar band when the form is in place on the collar, it will be held firmly in fixed relationship to the collar.

When the device is used a tie will be suitably mounted around the forward upper part of the loop, th collar button member passed through the shirt band and collar band, the attaching member slipped into plac on the shank and the loops 7 and 8 turned up. The tie will then be securely held in proper position at the front of the collar.

The loop will be made of sufficient length to pass under the turn-down portion of the collar for use with which it is designed.

It will be noted on reference to the side elevation that the outer part of the loop is raised above the rearward part, so that the sides of theloop lie in a plane at an obtuse angle to the plane of the front of the attaching member. This arrangement prevents any possibility of the rear part of the loop at the upper end of the attaching mem ber being seen.

A variation of the construction of the attaching member and loop is shown in Fig. 4. The attaching member is formed by bringing the ends of the loop 2 downwardly, one of them being bent to form a narrow horizontal loop 11, which forms the slot 1. The neck 12 between the loops 2 and 11 is embraced by a metal clip 13, the joint in the wire coming within the clip, which is preferably soldered in place to make the joint solid.

What we claim as our invention is:

1. A tie support comprising an attaching member having an oblong transverse slot formed therein and a transverse loop member having a tie holder secured to the attaching member, the support being adapted to fit over a collar button provided with a flattened shank of approximately the same size and form in cross section as the slot afore,

taching member, the sides of the loop'lying in a plane at an obtuse angle to the plane of the front of the attaching member, the 15 support being adapted to fit over a collar button provided with a flattened shank of approximately the sam size and form in p cross section as the slot aforesaid.

S7igned at Toronto, this 7th day of April 20 191 WALTER 'R. MORSON. BEAUMONT JARVIS.
