(a) With a hole and accompanying slit such that the plate may be fitted on to a
button or collar stud usually placed through the neck band of shirt or collar or
both;-or
(b) With a hole, only, such that the plate may be fitted on to a collar-stud made
with a detachable head.
The plate is sewn or otherwise fastened to the back of the tie, bow, cravat or other
like article for neck wear which is then ready for affixing to the stud in the neck-
band by and through the perforation in the plate.
Diagram No. 1. The plate may be conveniently shaped after the pattern shewn in
Diagram No. 1.
But when it is desired to accommodate the neck band of the tie, bow, cravat &c. in
addition to the tie, bow, cravat &c. itself, the pattern shewn in Diagrams No. 2,
No. 3, No. 4 or No. 5 may prove more suitable.
Diagram No. 2. Through the slits A. A. (of Diagram No. 2) the ends of the band
may be attached by means of small studs-similar to those commonly used for fastening
the front of ladies' stays.

page_text: Diagrams No. 3 & No. 4. The plate in these cases is elongated so as to admit of its
being doubled to the front of the perforation. The tongue in front, by the elasticity
of the metal, acts as a spring clip which grips & holds the detachable tie, bow,
cravat &c. by means of a piece of metal or cardboard sewn or otherwise attached to the
back of the tie, bow, cravat &c.
No. 3 suits the ordinary button or collar-stud while No. 4 is suitable for the collar
stud with detachable head.
Diagram No. 5. The plate in this shape terminates at its base with pins which are
bent round to stand vertically in front of the plate.

page_text: arrangement consists of a plate of metal or omer Haru substance, suitably
shaped and perforated, either :-
(a) With a hole and accompanying slit, such that the plate may be fitted on to a
button or collar stud, usually placed through the neck band of shirt or collar, or
both,―or
(b) With a hole, only, such that the plate may be fitted on to a collar stud made
with a detachable head. The plate may be sewn, or otherwise fastened, to the back
of the tie, bow, cravat, etc. which is then ready for affixing to the stud in the neck
band, or collar band, by, and through the perforation in the plate. Or, the plate may
be separate, and detached, and act as a movable suspender, to affix to the stud or
button and to carry the tie, bow, cravat, etc. suspended on it.
The plate may be conveniently shaped after the pattern shewn in Diagram No. 1.
But, when it is desired to accommodate the neckband of the tie, bow, cravat, etc, in
addition to the tie, bow, cravat, etc, itself,-wings may be added, as in Diagrams No. 2.
Through the slits of the wings, the ends of the band may be attached by means of
small studs, similar to those commonly used for fastening the front of ladies stays.
In the shape represented by Diagrams No. 3 and No. 4, the plate is elongated, so
as to admit of its being doubled to the front of the perforation. The tongue in front,
by the elasticity of the metal, acts as a spring clip, which grips and suspends the
detachable tie, bow, cravat, etc, by means of a piece of metal or card board sewn or
otherwise attached or fitted at the back of the tie, bow, cravat, etc. No. 3 suits the
ordinary button, or stud, while No. 4 is suitable for the stud made with a detachable
head.
The shape shewn in Diagram No. 5, is similar to that of No. 3, or No. 4, but,
instead of having a vertical tongue, pointed pins are adjusted at the base, to stand
vertically in front of the perforated portion of the plate.

affixing it to the stud or button.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare, that what I claim is,
The invention of an arrangement for adjusting ties, bows, cravats, and other like
articles for neck wear, in position on the body, by means of a suspender, formed of a
plate of metal, or other substance, suitably shaped and perforated, to fit over a collar
stud or button.
