3 Claims.

This invention relates to the art of neckwear, and `more particularly to improvements in the manufacture and design of neck-ties, scarfs and other such articles of manufacture wherein the design of the material of which the said articles are made requires the utmost care'in securing symmetry of design and a minimum waste of material.

Among the principalobjects of the present invention is to provide a method for facilitating and rendering more economical the attainment of symmetry in design of neck-ties and the like, particularly in those cases where, because of the peculiar design or pattern ofthe tie material, considerable waste of material' is had unless the principles of the present invention are followed.

A further object of the invention is to provide a fabric which is so predeterminedly designed at u the mills as to permit a greater number of ties to be produced therefrom than hasbeen possible heretofore and prior to this invention.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a fabric` of predetermined design upon which are laid out a plurality of complemental pairs of tie sections, the arrangement being such that the sections may be cut out of the fabric without the exercise of more than ordinary skill and with a minimum waste of material, each pair of sections being immediately adapted for assembly into a completed tie.

Stili another and important object of the invention is to so prepare a fabric particularly adapted for the manufacture of ties and the like.v

that the necessity for employing skilled and expensive layout men and `designers in the tie manufacturing establishment is `entirely eliminated, it being merely necessary at this establishment to cut the fabric along predeterminedly established lines to secure the desired sections of which the tie is made up. In other words, this invention provides a fabric, which may be inthe form of a. single sheet or bolt of any size, whereon appears not only the n'iaterialdesignv or configuration but also the outline defining the tie sections.

Still another lobject Vof the invention 'is the preparation of a fabric particularly designed for the manufacture of neckties and the like wherein symmetry of design in each tie may be secured without necessitating any waste whatsoever of the fabric.

Still other objects of the invention and advantages thereof will appear more fully hereinafter.

The invention consistssubstantially in the combination, construction, location and relative arrangement of parts, all as will appear more fully hereinafter, as shown in the accompanying drawings and as finally pointed out in the appended claims.

In the said accompanying` drawings:

Figure 1 is a view showing the two sections of a tie in assembled relation'prior to folding the longitudinal edges thereof into final position;

Figure 2 is a top plan view of a completed tie;

Figure 3 is a rear plan view of the completede tie; l

Figure 4 is a as prepared in the mill in accordance with the principles of the present invention;

Figure 5 is a modification of Figure 4; and Figure 6 is a further modification of Figure 4. Referring now to the drawings and more particularly to Figures 1 to 3, it will be observed that the-form of neck-tie with which this invention is concerned is generally rnade up of two sections I0 and I I, the section I0 having the divergent side edges I2 and I3 and the section Il having the divergent side edges I4 and I5. AAs appears quite clearly in Figure 1, the sections I0 and II are relatively so arranged in the assembly thereof as to bring a4 portion of the edge Il of the section into substanuai coincidenei-witn a portion of the edge I3 of the section I 0, thecoinciding `portions being then secured together by sewing or otherwise as indicated by the broken line I6. With the'sections IIJ and Il secured together in the manner just described. the longitudinal edge portions thereof are respectively folded over` of to give substance. and form-retaining char- The longitudinal edges.

acteristics to the tie.

plan view of a section of fabric the central body of the tie along the lines I1 and.` 35

I8 to form the completed tie as shown in Figures` I3-I5 and |2--I4l are secured together by sewing or otherwise along the line I9 (see Figure 3).

It will be observed that in the tie shown in Figures 1 to 3 the opposite ends thereof are re-l spectively pointed with adesign, indicated by the reference numerals 20 and 2| to give a finished appearance there to. It will be. seen that these end designs are symmetrical vwith respect to the median line of ,v tie and this is as it should be if the completed; the tie is properly designed. In theusual manufacture of ties, the manufacturer is the problem ofv obtaining as many pairs of tie sections III andv II as is possible from a single or tapered and are provided;

faced with of fabric and the section I I being obtained from the diagonally opposite corner thereof. This, of course, involved a considerable waste of material because the remaining portions .of the fabric could not be used Without sacrificing symmetry of design.

It is to avoid this very objectionable feature and to render more economical the manufacture of neck-ties, scarfs vand the like that the present invention is concerned with. Referring more particularly to Figure 4, it will be seen that this invention contemplates the production in the mill where-the fabric is produced afabric having incorporated therein a predeterminedly estab-f,v lished design in the form of a plurality of corn-y plemental pairs of tie sections. In Figure 4 the tie sections which correspond to the section` IU of Figure l are designated by the reference n u' meral 22,` while the tie sections which correspond to the section Il of Figure l are designated by the reference'numerals 23. It will be observed that the sections 22 each include as an integral part of the design or pattern thereof the end border design which is designated in Figure l by the reference numeral 2|. Similarly, the end border design 20 is included as an integral part of the design or patterns of the sections 23.

The fabric, as it is prepared in the mill may, of course, include any desired pattern or design and it will be understood that this design may be woven into the fabric or it may be printed thereon. Furthermore, the fabric as it is produced in the mill will, in one form of the invention, include the definite lines -of demarcation 2l and 25, these lines serving as guides for the tie manufacturer to cut out the sections 22 and 23. It will be, of course, understood that when the several pairs of sections 22 and 23 are cut out of the fabric as received from the mill along the lines as indicated, each section 22 will be secured to its complementally formed section 23 as indicated in Figure 1.

Obviously, the fabric as produced in the mill and bearing the predeterminedly configured tie sections may be in the form of a single piece of fixed dimension and from which say one dozen v complete ties may be fabricated, or it may be in the form of a bolt of material from which a great number of complete ties may be fabricated. Furthermore,A while the outline of the several tie sections 22 and 23 for any given piece of fabric may be constant in all cases to insure ties of uniform size', the pattern or configuration appearing in one pair of tie sections may be different from that in the next pair of tie sections. Similarly, the basic color of one pair of tie sections may differ from that of another pair of tie sections, although each of said tie sections will b included within a single piece of the fabric.

In Figure 5, the lines of demarcation between the several tie sections appear in the form of spaces rather than as definite lines as in Figure 4, these spaces between the several tie sections being designated generally by the reference numeral 26.

In Figure 6 is shown an arrangement wherein a plurality of complemental pairs oftie sections 21 and 28 are included in a single piece of fabric,

the several complemental pairs of sections being, however, of contrasting colors. In such case, definite lines or spaces of demarcation are not necessary between each pair of sections because the contrast in colors are of themselves sufficient' to furnish guides for cutting them'out of a fabric. separated from their complemental sections 28 by the lines 29 which may be printed on or Woven in the fabric during the course of its manufacture in the mill. 1

From'the foregoing, it will be apparent that when the abric is prepared in the manner just described n the mill and is then so furnished to the anufacturer of the neck-ties or searfs or the ike, the latter is enabled 'to obtain from a sin le piece of fabric a far greater quantity of u y, formly and symmetrically designed pieces than has been possible heretofore. In addition to this, the manufacturer of the finished article is not required to employ skilled designers whose function it is to properly lay out the tie sections upon the piece of fabric to secure the most sym-.- metrieal design because this -is automatically4 taken care of in the fabric as supplied to the The sections 21 are, however, respectivelyv manufacturer. Another important advantage of ly, as well as specifically, as indicated by the appended claims.

What is claimed as new and useful iszl. A piece of material having outlined on the surface thereof during the manufacture thereof and in accordance with a predetermined uniform pattern a plurality of pairs of complemental tie sections to form two sets thereof, the first set of said sections terminating in substantially triangular portions whereby to form a series of triangular spaces therebetween, the apices of said triangular spaces being spaced from either edge of the material and said space s being respectively occupied by the sections constituting the second set thereof, each of said sections being individually ornamented in accordance with'a predetermined design, tle ornamentation of said sections being such that when the edge of one section properly adjoins that of its complemental section the design in said adjoining sections is substantially uninterrupted. v

2. A method of manufacturing'neck-ties which consists in outlining upon the surface of a piece of material during the course of manufacturing said material and in accordance with a predeterv mined pattern a plurality of pairs of comple-Y mental tie sections, in providing that each of said pairs includes a large section of which the larger end of the tie is formed and a small section of which the smaller end of the tie is formed, in

individually ornamenting each of said sections` sure perfect symmetry of design in the completed said large sections and a complementally congured small section, and in finally uniting said cut out sections to produce a completed tie.

3. A piece of material having outlined on the surface thereof during the manufacture thereof and in accordance with a predetermined pattern a plurality of pairs of complemental tie sections, each of said sections being individually ornamented in the course of said manufacture to inties, said ornamentation being conned exclusively within the perimetric lines delineating the several sections and being further of such character that when the edge 'of one section properly adjoins that of its complemental section the de sign in said adjoining sectionsis substantially uninterrupted.
