Year: 1884

page_text: I CHARLES AUGUSTUS BROWN of "Ferndale ' Hamstead Road Handsworth in
the County of Stafford, Jeweller, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN BOWS TIES AND SCARVES, to be as follows:-
My Invention consists of a Bow, Tie, or Scarf having its front or visible side
made of metal or other analogous substitute which will withstand the process of
enamelling and other methods of decoration-The metal or substance of which the
above are made, is of a sufficiently ductile nature to assume any desired shape at
the will of the manufacturer. If desired the Bows, Ties, and Scarves may he lined
with any suitable material-Small flat metal loopers with an intervening rise of
metal is soldered or fastened to the back of the tin or metal front, through which
may be passed a ribbon or ordinary flat tie passing round the neck, and its ends,
buttoned, hooked, or buckled or joined together by numerous other ways that may
be found expedient to hold it in position. These Bows &c. may also be held in
position by the attachment of an elastic loop passing over a collar stud.

1 CHARLES AUGUSTUS BROWN of Ferndale Hamstead Road, Handsworth,
Birmingham in the County of Stafford, Jeweller, do hereby declare the nature of
and in what
my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN Bows TIES AND SCARVES "
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:
My Invention consists of a Bow, tie, or scarf having its front or visible side
made of metal or other analogous substance which will withstand the process of
enamelling and other methods of decoration This Invention will be more readily
understood by reference to the accompanying drawings in which,
Figs 1 and 2 are respectively front and back views of a scarf. By means of a
suitably cut flat metal strip the sides of this scarf may be folded or bent one over
the other as shewn at a and b. the part c. with its extended arms d, d, Fig 2 being
at the back of it and being also a portion of the same strip of metal, or fastened to
it separately-I prefer however to take a flat piece of metal and cut therefrom a
blank similar in shape to a, b, c, Fig 1, and having extensions d, d, which are
eventually bent backwards as shewn in Fig 2. A method of fastening this scarf is
shewn in Fig. 2, by means of the band e, c, e, having a small hook at f, attaching it
to one of the extended arms d, when after being passed round the neck, its rounded
endy, is passed under the opposite arm d, and fastened or unfastened at the will of
the wearer by means of the point h. Figs. 3, and 4, are front and back views of
metallic bows In this case the part i, i, is cut or blanked out of metal, the metallic
band is then placed round it and made to overlap as shewn in Fig 4. The moon
shaped piece of metal, vulcanite, cardboard or other suitable material m. (intended
to pass under the collar of the wearer) being placed in position together with the small
rubber loop n, the band k, is sufficiently compressed to hold the whole in position.-
The elastic loop n, is passed over a button or collar stud which holds the Bow in
the desired place.
These scarves and Bows may be stamped to form any ornamental design, their
surfaces presenting the appearance of finely ribbed or other silk, raised flowers &c.
and their subsequent enamelling giving them any desired colours. Jewels or other
ornaments may be attached to the faces of the scarves giving them the appearance
of ordinary breast pins. In the manufacture of these Bows, ties, or Scarves I do
not confine myself to any special size, shape or method of attachment.
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
1. A Bow Tie or Scarf made of metal or other analogous substance which may
be stamped moulded, pressed or bent to any desired shape, and enamelled any
required colour substantially as described and shewn in the drawings.
Doted this 9th day of March 1885
