WURSTER, F HADDON HEIGHTS, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALF T0 ROBERT E. ALBRIGHT, AOIi PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA CRAVAT HOLDER Application led October 6, 1931. 'Serial No. 567,144.

This invention relates to cravat holders, and has for an object to provide a new and improved holder, allowing freedom of long1 tudinal movement of the cravat while restraining lateral movement.

A- further object of the inventlon 1s to provide a clasp for attachment to the hem of a shirt front, or the like, with a flexible restraining member carried by the clasp for encircling the cravat.

A further object of the inventlon is to provide a clasp of a type which willslide upon the vhem ofv a shirt front, and with eyes at the opposite end of the overlying part, to

which eyes are attached the ends of a Hexible member having a degree of looseness to permit the insertion of thecravat through said flexible loop to restrain it and at the same time, provide for longitudinal movement.`l

The invention therefore comprises' apresilient clasp which will engage and remain upon the hem 4of the shirt, with eyes formed at the opposite end of that part of the clasp remaining upon the exterior 4of the shirt, with a chain or other flexible member attached to said eyes forming a loop through which the cravat is inserted.

The drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention, and the views therein are as follows Figure l is a fragmentary view of a cravat, properly restrained by the present invention, Figure 2 is a view of the lnvention 1n front elevation,

Figure 3 is a rview of the inventlon 1n front elevation, as.applied to the hem of a shirt, and I Figure 4 is a view in edge elevation,` as indicated by arrow 4 at Figure 2.

Like characters of reference indicate cori responding parts throughout the several views.

4The present cravat holder comprises a clasp member for attachment to the front of a shirt yand while this may assume various forms, the type illustrated comprises a loop 10 of Wire,

bending at 12 forms a recess 13, with the wires then bent inwardly as at 14 so that normally, the resulting section 15 lies between the side members of the loop 10 and at the side of the plane of said loop opposite the recess 13. The member is again bent at 16 so that the end 17 is again on the side of the recess 13. At the bend 12, an eye 18 is provided, and at the end 17, an eye 19 is provided;

To these eyes.18 and 19, a chain. or other flexible member 20 is connected at its opposite ends lso that it provides a certain amount of looseness, that is to say, the chain is longer than the interval between the eyes 18 and 19. This provides suiicient looseness to accommodate the cravat 2l which is merely slipped through the chain or other iexible member after it has been att-ached to the shirt front as shown. This flexible member 20 restrains the cravat from lateral movement orap ping but permits the longitudinal or up and down movement to accommodate stooping or straighteningof the wearer, or other contingencies exerting stress upon the cravat.

The cravat holder, herein illustrated, may be modified in various ways Without departing from the invention herein set forth and hereinafter claimed.
