TIE;

Application ilcd .august f This `invention relates to neckties, and the object of the invention is to provide a tie of a new and original shape thatqpresenta an attractive appearance and that may be produced economically from a niiniinuin of nuiterial and with a ininfnuin expenditure of tiinc and effort. @ther objects and advantages will lappear in the course of the ilfollowing description of a preferred embodi-` nient of the invention.

ln the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, in which like nuinf bers of reference denotes like parts whereever they occur,

Figure l is a plan view of the unfolded or extended strip, from which the tie is fornied by folding;

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 9.-2 in Figure l;

Figure 3 is a front View of the strip after it has been folded into tie formation;

Figure el is a rear view of the tie; and

Figure 5 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 55 in Figure 4. i

The strip l from which the tie is formed preferably comprises two superposed oblong-shaped pieces or blanks of suitable cloth or tie material 2 and 3, that are sewed to- Lher at their edges on inturned sea ns 4: by

ge'v means of stitching 5. A strip of crinoline G or the like preferably interposed between the strips 2 and 3 in order to provide ample stiffness for the strip l so that the latter will maintain its shape after being folded. ik stuffing 7 of cotton or other loose, fluffy material is, also, preferably introduced into the hollow strip prior to completely sewing together the marginal edges of the strips 2 and 3, the stuffing preferably being disposed on only one side of the crinoline (3, say on the side facing the strip 2.

rlhe end portions 8 and 9 are folded over the intermediate portion lO of the strip on respective oblique hypothetical lines 1l, which may, if desired, be indicated on the strip, prior to folding, by creasing or marking in any other suitable manner, in order to facili tate folding thereon. Both end portions 8 and 9 are preferably folded over the saine side of the strip, say the fluffy or tufted side covered by the strip Q.. The` folded portions 8 and 9 are preferably, also, of such length with relation to the width of the strip that the end edges 12 project laterally from the lateral edges l?) and lil ofthe inte';lniicdiate portion l0 ofthe strip. The oblique lines ll are, also` preferably inclined in the saine direction, so that the portions tv and S) Kextend transrersely of the intermediate portion 10 in respective opposite directions. The lines ll are preferablyso spaced that, when the'portions 8 and 9 are doubled over the. portion l0, the edge 'i3 of portion d .meets the edge 'le of portion 9, and the said edges` are preferably secured together by stitches l5.`

rllhe side shown in Figure 8 is preferably oons'gideredas being the front ofthe tie, while the side `exhibited by `Figure may be considered as the rear side, and suitable attaching means, such as a conventional elastic band 1G, inay be sewed thereto by stitches 1T. rlhe strip 17, as will be understood, is placed around the collar of the wearer, and the hook 1.8 at one end thereof is hooked to the eye or loop i9 at the other end of the strip 17.

`in inspection of Figure 3 shows that the intermediate portion l0 is of rhoniboidal shape, while the end portions 8 and 9, projecting from the opposite edges 14; and lil, respectively, of the rhoiiiboid l0, are sub-- stantially rectangular in outline. rlhe tie, therefore, presents an artistic and attractive appearance, which inay be further enhanced, if desired, by producing different decorative effects on the outer sides of the strips 2 and 3. In the illustrated tie, for instance, it will be observed that the side 2 is plain, while the side 3 is decorated with light polka dots Q0 on a darkbackground, so that an artistic contrast is produced between the end portions 8 and 9` and the rhoniboidal portion l0 in the folded tie, as illustrated in Figure 3. rllhe end portions 8 and 9, also. present a tufted appearance on the front of the tie because of the stuiling 7 being adjacent to the strip 2.

On account of the sinall area of the strips 2 and 3, niuch scrap inaterial is available from which they can be out, and it will be observed that the tie inay be quickly and easily formed, so that the tie may be very economically produced.

This tie is, also, of a. new and original shape. Instead of being produced froni a plurality of superposed blanks, it may mani festly be formed of a single blank of inaterial, which may havel dierent designs on its opposite sides. The sha-pe may, also, be produced, Without folding, by cutting the blanks to conform to the outline ot' the finished tie, or by cutting separate blanks for the rhomboidal portion and the end portions and sewing them together to form the shape of the finished tie.

Having thus fully described this invention, I hereby reserve the benetit of all changes in form, arrangement, order, or use of parte, as it is evident that many minor changes may he made therein without departingY from the Spirit of this invention or the eeope of the following claims.

I claim l. A neehtie comprising a strip having its end portions doubled over on respective oblique linee so that one lateral edge of each doubled end portion is alined with the opposite Lateral edge of the other doubled end portion,

Q. A necktie comprising a strip having its end portions doubled over the same side of the strip on respective oblique lines so that one lateral edge of each doubled end portion meets the opposing lateral edge of the other doubled end portion.

3. A necktie comprising a strip having its end portions doubled over on respective ohlique lines so that one lateral edge of each doubled end' portion meets the opposite lateral edge of the other doubled end por tion, the said meeting lateral-edge portioils lwing secured together.

4. A necktie comprising;r a strip having an intermediate portion and end portions that. project obliquely in respective opposite directions from the ends of the intermediate portion.

5. A necktie comprising a strip having its end portions doubled over the same side ot the strip on respective oblique lines so that one lateral edge ot each doubled end portion meets the oppoeing` lateral edge of the other doubled end portion and attachingr means;

borne by the folded end portions.

In testimony whereof l hereunto alix my signature.

CHESTER JOSEPH GRUBER.
