Description:
This is a continuation of application serial No. 141,005, filed Jan. 5, 1988. 
    
    
     FIELD OF INVENTION 
     This invention relates to clothing apparel generally, more specifically the invention relates to ties and securing the loose tail of the tie. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The background of this invention was to develop a means to secure the tail of the tie to the back of the tie in a simple manner. Also to secure the tail of the tie effectively, without penetrating the front of the tie, and being invisible to the front of the tie. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention is comprised of a steel wire wherein both ends are formed to a pin point. The wire is then bent into a &#34;c&#34; shape and the opening of the &#34;c&#34; ends are bent into pin grabbers that enable the device to be pinned to the back of the front of the tie. The tie tail passes through the &#34;c&#34; shape for holding the tail securely to the tie.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     Reference is made to the accompanying drawings specifically FIG. 1 for the general construction of the invisible tie tail holder invention. The invisible tie tail holder is constructed from a single steel wire that is bent into a shape as shown in FIG. 1. The ends of the wire are shaped into a pin point as shown in FIG. 1 (a), this enables the invisible tie tail holder to penetrate the back of the front of the tie. From the pin point ends, the wire is straight and then it is formed into a pin-grabber bend that is shown in FIG. 1 (b), this enables the invisible tie tail holder to be held securely to the back of the front of the tie. In FIG. 1 (a) &amp; (b) are the components that make up the pin grabber mechanism. From the pin grabber bend the wire is straight until it is bent into a ninety degree angle and this is the connection of the pin grabber as shown in FIG. 1 (c). The wire is then formed into a &#34;c&#34; shape. The curved portions of the &#34;c&#34; shape is shown in FIG. 1 (d). The straight portion of the &#34;c&#34; shape is shown in FIG. 1 (e). In FIG. 1 (d) &amp; (e) are the components that make up the &#34;c&#34; shaped mechanism. The &#34;c&#34; shaped mechanism is where the tail of the tie is pulled through so that it is securely held to the back of the front of the tie.
