This invention relates Ato neekties, and,

vmoreA particularly to neekties of the .four-in connectiofiv with iiecltities so madefr'om woven fabric',A it was necessary tof'henfi the pointed tipsto avoidienposureof-theraw fabric edges; while in the: case o'ft'ies niade from knitted fabric it wastnecessalry'tooveredgerstitch the ra'rsv febric edges to'r prevent rafveling, with conseqiient. presentation of unattractive finish at the'f-pointed' endl tips.- Moreover, by virtuevof being" of a single fabric thickness, such pointed tips had ai tendency to curl or roll', thereby creating aspect of unti'diness aft-erthe' ties were worn! for af-tirne.`

The chief aina of the; presenti invention is tor4 overcometlie -sever'al objections` above noted7 andfthis.desideratu-niI attaiii,l as hereinafterl fully explained-through provision of point-ended necktiesforrnedlof double fabric thickness throughoutl and distinguished by folde d perimetr-cl edges devoid of anyV visible searnin'ftz)` or edge stitching-ontheir front faces.

A further object-ofrny invention is to secure the foregoing advantages in neclties through a very simple and inexpensive methodof yn'ocedureinA the course of manufacture. In the drawings, Fig. I shows the fabric blanltlflromwhich I forinf rn'y improved tie;-

In carrying out my vin've'n'5i0n,\a blank such as depicted at B'in Figg-- i's forfnfredi froinl suitable textile' inateriall @which .may be either woven or knitted fabric) preferably by cutting with the aid of'a prole template: `151s shown,-the bla-nk- B' is comparatively narrow at its central region and: divergent towaird opposite' ends,l said! endslbeinggry square-'cut as at l5 and diagonally incised at the corne-rs asatll e s Y The blank B" thus prepared is. first folded lt'ingitudinally,n as illi'istr'atjedl in Figs? II; with its edgesinade toy coincidef alll ar'jund'v The. overlying edges'of the sqluarelcutends l'are thereupon united bystit'chingas l'fFi-g. HiT-'preferably upon anL overedge sewing machine of the"Merrow ype. In-likefmafnnerthe superpose'd loiiglituclii'ia1 edges l-S are sewed together' as at 19' along? the intervalbetween the pointsa-c (Fi'g ITE) somewhat inward'of the ends'lrwith resultant'conversionof-the'blanl BofI Fig. T int-o thetube T ofFigTlthatis closed except atftherf'egions of the diagonalincisions 16;

The tubev T is next turnedinsideout or reversed soith'at the raw'fabric ec gesfas well astheincre"proininentjloops'ofthe stitchings 17 andv l9, are concealed 'inr manne-r which willbe readily apparentfroniig. V.

The/tube T is now boarded, that' isf to say, a fiatv sectional shaping forni '20 of metal-#orthinfwoodis introduced in such a manner that thelo'ngitudin'alL seain 19eis brought to cent-ralf position lengthwise of one ofviis faces Incidental tothe step'just -d"escribed7 the sewed portions'l (iFigII-I) of' the tube betweenl the" incisions` 1f6 are creased alongcomple1nentarily-inclined lines which are showny by dotssand-dashes inf Fig. IlI extending-between pointsl at opposite'side's of the tube'v T, withprovisionof av triangular-shaped pocket into whicl'i-the resulting free triangular ends may be retroverted, in an Vobvious manner, by infolding along the line -adbg or, said ends may be left free to extend into the tube T. At the same time the contiguous or free tabs 22 (Fig. III) remaining at the incisions 16 are tucked in and under with determination of folds along the line b-a-b and formation of transverse retroversions at 23, seeiFigs. V I and VIII.

' After steam pressing by which the tie is permanently given the shape of the form 20, Aas a final step, the transverse folds 23 at opposite ends of the tie are secured by hand sewing to the free edge of the triangularshaped pocket, ZJ-C-J), as shown at 24 in VFig. X. From Fig. XI it will be observed that as a result of the above procedure, the front face of the tie is left absolutely intact; While at the rear as shown in Fig. XII, the

' seams 17 and 19 are continuously aligned and intersected by the sewing along the transverse retroverted edges 23.

The tie of my invent-ion thus becomes a double thickness structure throughout with a continuous folded edge forming its perimeter, the tapered ends thereof being entirely closed, proof against the possibility of curling, and distinguishedby a neat and attractive finish at the back. ,v Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. The method of making neckties which comprises longitudinally folding an elongated fabric blank with square cut ends and diagonally-incised corners to bring its vedges into coincidencek all around, seaming the overlying yedges of the square cut ends,

uniting in like manner the superposed longitudinal edges to points near opposite ends of the blank in converting. the same into a tube, flattening the tube with Vdisposal of its longitudinal seam medially of one of the flattened faces, and retroverting the sewed end portions by folding along complementarily inclined lines backward upon the longitudinally-unseamed face of the tube with resultant formation of pointed tips.

2. The methodvof making neckties which comprises longitudinally folding an elongated fabric blank with square cut ends and diagonally incised corners to bring its, edges into coincidence all around, seaming the overlying edges of the square cut ends, uniting in like manner the superposed longitudinal edges to points near opposite ends of the blank with provision of terminal unseamed tabs in converting the same into a tube, flattening the. tube with disposal of its longitudinal seam medially of one of the flattened faces, retroverting the sewed end portions by folding along complementarily-inclined lines backward upon the longitudinally-unseamed face of the tube with resultant formation of pointed tips, andretroverting the unseained tube.

3. The method of making neckties which comprises longitudinally folding an elongated fabric blank with square cut ends and diagonally incised corners to bring its edges into coincidence, all around, seaming the overlying edges of the square cut ends, uniting in like manner the superposed longitudinal edges to points near opposite ends of the blank with provision of terminalunseamed triangular tabs in 'converting the same into a tube, flattening the tube with disposal of its longitudinal seam medially of one of the flattened faces, retroverting the sewed end portions by folding along complementarilyinclined lines backward upon the longitudinal unseamed face of the tube to form pointed tip pockets, retroverting the triangular tabs aforesaid remaining at the regions of the diagonal corner incisions uponL the `inner seamed face of the tube by folding along a line extending transversely of the flattened tube, and securing such transversely folded edges to the adjoining tip pockets by sewing.

4l. The method of making' neckties which comprises longitudnially folding an elongated fabric blank with square cut ends and diagonally-incised corners to bring its edges .into coincidence all around, seaming'together the overlying edges of the square cut ends and retroverting the resultant free triangular opposite ends of the blank with provision` of terminal unseamed triangular tabs in converting the saine-into a tube,pressing the tube thus i formed flat with disposal of the longitudinal seam aforesaid mediallfyof one face thereofy and incidentally shaping the sew'ed end portions by creasing along complementarily-inclined lines into pointed tips, and finally steam pressing the tie to give it permanent shape. y

5. As an article of manufacture a tie fashioned to tubular configuration from a blank of textile material with a seam extending longitudinally of its back, and having pointed end tips formed through folding of the material at the ends of the black along complementarily-inclined lines and secured by vsewing to the back face of the tie.

6. As a new article of manufacture a necktie having pointed end tips formed to double A
