I, ANDREW HAVRENICK, of 7 Alserstrasse, Vienna in the Empire of Austria,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to neck ties and the improvements consist in the special
combination of parts as hereinafter described.
Referring to the accompaning drawings:
Fig. 1 is a back view of the folded card.
Fig. 2 a side view thereof.
Fig. 3 the manner of placing the stuff over the frames.
A long rectangular slip is cut from ordinary paste-board and so doubled together
that the two ends form two superposed plates a and b, connected with each other in
their lower part, whilst the upper extremity remains separate. The upper end may
be diminished or shaped by cutting from both sides and from out of the front plate a
is cut a triangle, while to the rear plate 6 is fastened at its lower part an eyelet c on a
little elastic string d-to the upper part a wire ƒ (or a plate fi as used heretofore)
and to the sides two sharp wire points gg.
Over this board is laid a folded stuff strip (Fig. 3) so that the rear plate 6 lies
between the two folded stuff strips, and the front plate a on the upper strip.
The ends of the stuff are then laid over the board in the manner shown by Fig. 3
and fastened at both points 9 g. The stuff is furnished on its rear side with two slits,
through which are drawn the eyelet c with the elastic string d and the wire f (or the
plate).
After the edges of stuff strip have been worn it can be shifted farther over so that
a fresh edge is produced-this neck-tie therefore lasts proportionately long.
The folded board may be replaced by two plates of paste board, metal, wood, or
other flexible material, laid over each other and fastened below, or it may be covered
with cloth or stuff, as in general the single parts may be modified without departing
from the principle of the invention.

page_text: I, ANDREW HAVRENICK of 7 Alserstrasse, Vienna in the Empire of Austria,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention, and in what manner
the same is be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to neck ties or cravats and consists principally in a novel
frame or device about which a strip of cloth or other material of suitable shape is
adapted to be folded so as to resemble a cravat of an usual and well known form.
This frame or device mainly consists of two equal and superposed plates of paste-
board or the like connected with one another below and adapted to be bent or sprung
apart above.
Referring to the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a rear view of the said superposed plates.
Fig. 2 a side view of the same.
Fig. 3 the frame with the strip of cloth laid thereover and partly folded thereon.
The plates a and b are tapered upward as shown and the front plate a that is to
say the plate that is in front, when the cravat. is worn differs from the back plate in
having at its upper end a triangular recess extending across the upper edge. To
the rear plate is secured an eyelet c by means of an elastic band d (Figs. 1 and 2)
for hanging the tie on the collar stud. On both sides are arranged two sharp wire-
points g. 9. for holding the cloth or fabric of the facing of the cravat.
To allow the cravat or tie to be also employed for upturned collars an oblong
pasteboard strip m having a recess in its upper edge is fastened to the rear plate.
This strip is shifted under the upturned collar and is held by the shirt stud.
The frame thus formed is utilized and combined with the facing fabric as follows:-
Over the frame is laid a broad strip of fabric h folded double (Fig. 3) in such a
manner, that the rear plate 6 lies between the two folds of the said strip of fabric
and the front plate lies upon the upper fold. The two extremities of the fabric are
then laid or folded over the upper plate a in the manner shown in Fig. 3, and
fastened respectively over the two pins g, g.
When the edge of the fabric has become worn or frayed the fabric can be shifted
farther over the plates, so that a fresh edge is formed; the improved cravat therefore
lasts for a considerable time without renewal of the facing fabric.

page_text: 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 :-
In cravats :
1. In combination with a strip of fabric adapted to be folded, a frame composed of
superposed plates band a the latter having a recess in the upper part and
connected to the former in the lower part.
2. The combination with said plates a, b, of pins g substantially as set forth.
3. The combination with the plate b, of the plate m and eyelet c for the purpose set
forth.
