NECKTIE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 435,828, dated September 2, 1890.

Application filed July 9, 1890. Serial No. 358,152. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PHILIP HESS, of New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Articles of Neckear, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in mens neck-wear, and particularly to neckties of different styles that are made of silk or other textile fabric.

As usually manufactured there is a shield of nearly-rigid material provided as a founda tion for the tie, which piece is covered with the silk or other goods from which the exposed portions are made.

In use neckties of ordinary make are liable to become soiled and first show wear upon the upper-edge portion, while other parts of the article may be uninjured in any way.

The object of this invention is to provide a ready means for changing the worn, soiled, or

faded upper portion of a necktie having ashield, so as to bring into view and service parts of the article of neck-wear which are in an uninjured condition.

A further object is to furnish a necktie having a neckband and a supporting-shield with an endless pendent scarf portion that is movable, and which is also adapted to receive a Teck bow, puffed band, or keeper-ring of varied form to hold the scarf longitudinally adjusted.

To these ends my invention consists in certain features of construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be made to the accompanying drawings, formingaportion of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a front perspective View of the preferred form for the device. Fig. 2 is a broken reverse view of the tie shown in Fig. l.

The shield A (shown in Fig. 2) is preferably made of pasteboard cut into form and properly covered. It is of sufiicient length for its use, and is shaped, preferably, as represented, having its upper edge curved inward slightly, the lower edge bcin g made substantially parallel to the upper edge between two points a a, that are equally distant from the ends of the shield, the material being cut to slope from these points toward the upper edge and outwardly to the ends of the shield, thus affording a wider portion between the points a a from the upper to the lower edge of the shield.

The shield A is secured on the rear or inner surface of the tie-band B by sewing its ends to the lining of the latter, thus producing an opening between these parts.

The tie-band B is of usual form and has an elastic piece B secured to one end, which is adapted to be adjusted for length, and is furnished with a ring I), that may engage a hook e, that is on the other end of the band, and thus retain the necktie on the neck of the wearer.

A pendent scarf 0 is provided, which consists of an endless band having a suitable Width and length, any preferred material being utilized in its manufacture, it being understood that the same goods which are used to face the neckband are employed for the outside of the scarf.

Before the ends of the scarf 0 are joined together one of said ends is passed through the opening between the shield and neckband, and the scarf made to encircle the neckband when it is finished by a proper connection of its ends.

In the preferred plan of construction there is a puffed encircling band D passed around the scarf C, directly below the shield A, having its upper-edge portion secured to the depending edge of the shield between the points a a, as shown in Fig. 2.

The puffed band D may be given various forms and folds to change the style. As repo resented it simulates the four-in-hand scarf.

It will be seen that from the connection of the shield A to the neckband B and puffed encircling band D the scarf 0 may be moved 5 longitudinally, so that a different portion of the material in the scarf will be brought into position at the upper edge 0, which will remove worn or soiled portions of the scarf from view and bring into service another part of I00 the same which is in good condition, thus adding materially to the length of time that a necktie may be Worn and look well.

Upon the shield A there is preferably placed a retaining-clip d, which is of a Wellknown form. This clip, when engaged With the collar-button in an obvious manner, prevents the lateral or upward displacement of the necktie. I

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A necktie having a neckband the ends of Witnesses:
