I, JOHN FERGUSON of The Hollies Vicarage Lane Bowdon in the County of
Chester, Schoolmaster, 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 :-
The arrangement consists of a piece of wire suitably shaped either :--
(a) in the form of a slit in the middle (to slide over an ordinary collar stud or
button) and with the extremities of the wire bent forwards and upwards for the
purpose of attaching the tie bow cravat or other like article for neckwear; as shewn
in Diagrams No. 3 4 & 5-or, (b) in the form of a ring and a slit out running from
it to fit over and slide over respectively, the collar stud or button, and with the
extremities of the wire bent forwards and upwards for the purpose of attaching
the tie bow cravat or other like article for neck wear, as in Diagrams No. 1
and 2.
The extremities of the wire may be pointed like a pin as in Diagrams No. 1
No. 2 and No. 3, or they may be left unpointed as in Diagrams No. 4 or they may
be overlapped or united as in Diagram No. 5. In the cases suggested by Diagrams
No. 1 No. 2 & No. 3 the tie, bow cravat or other like article for neck wear may be
attached by means of the pointed pins while in the cases suggested by Diagrams
No. 4 & No. 5 the cardboard frame of the tie bow cravat or other like article for
neck wear may be fitted over the portion of the wire that is turned upwards in front.
In my patent No. 11353 1886 I constructed the "Suspender" of a plate of metal or
other hard substance. This invention adapts a piece of wire for the like purpose.
Hence this invention is simply a series of new forms or devices in wire that shall
accomplish the same object as that obtained by my patent No. 11353, 1886.
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 a series of new forms or devices of the "Suspender" which was
patented under No. 11353, 1886, for the purpose of adjusting ties, bows, cravats and
other like articles for neck wear in position on the body.
