page_text: I, AUGUSTUS BUDIBENT DAVEY, of Hagworthingham, Spilsby, Lincolnshire,
Farmer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved neck tie and has for its object to provide a
simple arrangement which allows the n ck tie to be reversed or opened for washing
purposes.
In carrying out my invention I employ a shape or block of board or other
suitable material on which the tie is formed, this shape making the upper part of
the tie rigid.
The body of the tie is made from a wide strip of material which is folded longi-
tudinally along a line some distance from the centre.
The card-board or other shape is placed in this fold, the narrower portion
covering the front. Each end of the material is then folded over the sloping edges
of the block so as to cover the front and hang for a suitable distance.
A single pin at the centre will hold the tie in proper shape. The top of the
band is connected to the block by means of a small fastener or clip, the body of
the tie being formed with a hole to permit of this fastener passing through.
The loop through which the band passes for securing the tie is also fitted to the
block, the back of the tie being furnished with a second hole or slit to allow of its
being detached without interfering with the other parts. The pin for securing the
band is fitted to the lower end of the block.
The tie can thus be immediately opened by removing a pin or undoing a stitch and
can be replaced so as to present a clean surface, or if of washing material can be
easily replaced after cleaning.

I, AUGUSTUS BUDIBENT DAVEY, of Hagworthingham, Spilsby, Lincolnshire,
Farmer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved neck tie, and has for its object to provide a
simple arrangement which allows the neck tie to be reversed or opened for washing
purposes.
In carrying out my invention I employ a shape or block of cardboard or other
suitable material on which the tie is formed, this shape making the upper part of the

page_text: The body of the tie is made from a wide strip of material which is folded longi-
tudinally along a line some distance from the centre.
The card-board or other shape is placed in this fold, the narrower portion covering
the front. Each end of the material is then folded over the sloping edges of the
block so as to cover the front and hang for a suitable distance.
A single pin at the centre will hold the tie in proper shape. The top of the band is
connected to the block by means of a small fastener or clip, the body of the tie being
formed with a hole to permit of this fastener passing through.
The loop through which the band passes for securing the tie is also fitted to the
block, the back of the tie being furnished with a second hole or slit to allow of its
being detached without interfering with the other parts. The pin for securing the
band is fitted to the lower end of the block.
The tie can thus be immediately opened by removing a pin without undoing a
stitch and can be replaced so as to present a clean surface or if of washing material
can be easily replaced after cleaning.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to the
accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 shows the cardboard or other shape detached from the tie,
Fig. 2 shows the tie partially formed around the shape or block, and
Fig. 3 shows the complete arrangement.
A is the shape or block made of any desired form which will permit the material B
of the tie to be folded around it. The block is provided with the metal or other
loop C at the back, through which the band b passes for securing the tie, and an
eye 6 is also provided to which one end of the band is secured by means of a pin or
other suitable fastening.
The pin c to which the band is attached is also secured to the block at the lower end.
The material of the tie, as shown clearly in Fig. 2, is folded longitudinally over the
top of the block and is again folded over the sloping edges, so that the two ends
cross at a suitable angle, being then connected by means of a small pin.
A hole or slit is also provided at the back of the tie to permit the material being
passed over the metal or other loop C.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1.) An improved neck-tie formed from a cardboard, or other shape provided with
a retaining loop, pin, and a strip of cloth or other material folded over the top of the
shape and across the sides, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
(2.) The improved neck-tie formed from a block of cardboard or other material, and
a strip of cloth folded over the block, substantially as described and shown in the
accompanying drawings and for the purposes specified.
Dated this 3rd day of November 1896.
