Cord necktie

This invention relates to a cord necktie, particularly to a necktie which is provided with a cord, a knot plate and a band of decorative fabric. The knot plate is provided with four holes for the cord to pass through. The band of decorative fabric connected at one end of the cord, can be wound around the knot plate to form a permanent knot. In use, it is only required to pull the free end of the cord to tighten the necktie, or to pull the other part of cord to loose it.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
The conventional necktie is a narrow band of decorative fabric. In use, the 
conventional necktie is worn around the neck, under the collar and tied in 
front to hang down the front of a shirt. When not in use, it is loosed 
entirely. Therefore, the knot near the top button of the shirt has to be 
formed again each time when the necktie is to be used. It is really 
inconvenient and time consuming. In addition, the conventional necktie 
would get wrinkled through frequent manual operation. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
An object of the invention is to remove the drawbacks of the conventional 
necktie and to provide a cord necktie. 
Another object of the invention is to provide a cord necktie which knot is 
not necessary to be formed again when the necktie is to be used. 
Still another object of the invention is to provide a cord necktie which 
applies a cord to adjust the looseness and tightness of the necktie. 
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be evident from the 
following detailed description when read in conjunction with the 
accompanying drawings and when read in conjunction with the appended 
claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, both sides of the knot plate 10 bend slightly 
backward. The knot plate 10 is provided with two flanges 11--11 inclined 
upward, each of which has a slot 12. In the middle portion of the knot 
plate 10, there are vertically provided two apertures 13--13. 
As shown in FIG. 3, two ends of the cord 20 respectively pass through two 
slots 12--12 into the backside of the knot plate 10. Then, two ends of the 
cord 20 respectively pass further through two apertures 13--13 into the 
front of the knot plate 10. In the meantime, one end of the cord 20 is 
connected to a necktie 30, while the other end can be provided with a 
medal 40 for appearance sake. As shown in FIG. 6, a brand label is 
referred as 33, which is provided at the back of the necktie 30 to allow 
the insertion of the cord 20. 
FIGS. 4 and 5 show how to form a permanent knot according to the invention. 
First, it is required to wind the necktie 30 around the left flange 11 and 
then over the front of the knot plate 10. Second, the necktie 30 is wound 
around the right flange 11 and then passed through the knot hole formed by 
parts of the necktie 30 and the knot plate 10 as shown. 
As shown in FIG. 6, after the permanent knot is formed, a cord ring 21 is 
formed above the knot plate 10. The size of the cord ring 21 is adjustable 
by pulling or releasing the cord 20. In use, it is only required to wear 
the cord ring 21 under the collar and pull tight the cord 20. The necktie 
30 can be released by pulling the knot downward aside.
