l Claim.

The present inventionrelates to improvements in a reversible tie, and it consists of the combinations, constructions and arrangements hereinafter described and claimed.

An object of my invention is'to provide a reversible tie that can be manufactured in the vide a tie which has novel means to prevent it from becoming wrinkled after frequent tying.

Other objects and advantages will appear in A the following specification and the novel features will be particularly pointed out in the appended claim. A. V My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing `forming a part of the application in which g Figure 1 is a plan view of the large end of the tie showing the two pieces of material' turned inside out to expose the lining;

4Figure 2 is a transverse section taken along the line -2 of Figure l;

Figure 3 is a plan View of the small end of the tie showing the two pieces of material turned inside out forstitching; I

Figure 4 is a transverse section taken along the line 3 4` of Figure 3;

Figure 5 is a, longitudinal section through the large end of the tie after this end ha's been turned right side out and is temporarily covered by the small tie end that still remains turned inside out, but is stitched to the neck portion of the large tie end;

Figure. 6 is a longitudinal section similar to Figure 5; and

Figure 7 is a plan View of thev completed tie`.

While I have shown only the preferred form of my inventionit should be understood that vari-A Aous changes or modications may be made within the scope of the appended claim without departing from the spirit of the invention. e

In carrying out my invention, I lprovide a tie formed of two sections, the larger section being along their side edges at 3 and 4.l The pieces l and 2 are preferably of different materials or designs and are about two feet long with their outer surfaces facing each other. Strips,` 5 and S, of muslin about nineteen inches in length extend from the narrow ends l. of the `nieces and parallel the'sides. A lining section t, of slightly less length than the strips and slightly narrower than the pieces is secured to the strips by stitching 9 and It, see Figure 2. Thestitching 3 and t secures the .strips to the pieces. The narrow end of the lining 8 is cut along a bias as at Il..

Transverse ribs or tucks l2 are formed in the lining to increase its resiliency so-that the lining will spring back into shape when the tie knot is untied and will aid in returning the pieces l and 2 to normal position. A second lining section I3 about nineteen .inches long,y has its smaller end l cut on a bias -and lapped for a short distance with thellining section 8. The stitching 3 and secures the end of the lining section i3 to the lining section, 8 as shown in Figure l. Tucks l5 are also formed in the second lining section i3 to increase its resiliency. The

parts of the larger section A assume the position shown in Figures 1 and 2 while they are machine stitched together at 3, t, 9 and it. After this is done, the smaller section B vis made before the pieces l and 2 are turned inside out.

In Figures 3 and 4, I show the smaller section B. Pieces it and il about two feet long and of' the shape shown are fplaced with their outer surfaces together and machine stitched along their edges at I8 and i9. The piece 56 is of the same material or design as the ipiece l. The two sec-Y tions A and B are now jolned'together. First the section A is turned right side out so as to inclose the Strips 5 and 6 and the lining The machine stitching 3 and l is hidden by the turn-- Aing right side out of the section and so is likewise the stitching ySaarl lli. The strips 5 'and t are stitched to the lining section before the strips are stitched to the pieces i and 2. When the section A is turned right side out, the lining section i3 will. still project beyond the narrow edge of the section as shown in Figure 5. The

.smaller section B while still `turned inside out is telescoped over the larger section A so that the narrow edge 2@ of the section B is aligned with the edge 1 of the section A. A transverse line of machine stitching 2l now secures the'two' sections together adjacent their narrow edges 1 and 20. I

The next step is to turn the section B right side out by grasping the large end 22 andturning both pieces I6 and I1 back on themselves so that this skinning movement will uncover the section A and cover the lining section I3 as illustrated in Figure 6.' The transverse stitching 2l is now covered and both sections A and B are turned right side out. The stitchings i8 and I9 are also covered by this turning of the secl tion B right side out. The edges 22 of the section B are turned in and stitched as at 23 while the outer edges 24 of the section A are turned in and stitched as at 2l, ii' desired.

The completed tie is illustrated in Figure with the section A being connected to the section B Machine stitching 26 and 21 paralleling the edges of the narrow portion of the section B is also indicated in Figure 7 to secure the lining section i3 to the pieces I6 and Il. This prevents the section B from remaining wrinkled when the knot is untied. 1

From the foregoing description of the various parts of the device, the operation thereof may be readily understood. The tie may be tied with the usual four-in-hand knot. One side of the tie is of one material or design ,while the other side is of a different material or design. The reversi# lole tie gives the wearer a two tie advantage since either side of the tie can be worn outermost. The tie will not wrinkle due to the muslin strips,

the transverse ribs or tucks inthe lining sections and the stitching at 2B and 21'. The vdevice is simple in construction and' can be machine stitched throughout.

I claim:

The herein described method of making a machine-stitched reversible tie which comprises: placing the rightA sides of two half-lengthtieshaped pieces of diierentcloth face to face and stitching them along their edges to form one tie section, stitching muslin strips to the sides of the tie section after a lining section has been stitched to the strips. stitching an end of a second lining section to the ends of the strips, turn` ing the tie section inside out so that the two cloth pieces enclose the strips and iirst-xnenond tie section, telescoping the second tie sectionover the first tie section. stitching the narrow ends of the two tie sections together, and in pulling the second tie section oil from the first tie section and over the second lining section to form the completed tie.
