Improved Collar and Tie Retainer.
I, THOMAS MORTON, of Lodge Road, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer...
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
This invention relates to an improved collar and tie retainer, and consists in the
combination and arrangement of a hinged or turned down stud-upon which is
passed the collar and which when turned down serves to maintain the band of the
tie in proper position thereunder-together with a button hole spring clip which
takes into the shirt collar back button hole.
Thus in use the spring clip is passed into the button hole at the back of the
collar of the shirt, which said clip holds it firmly thereto. The stud portion is now
turned upon its hinge into the horizontal position. The button hole at the back of
the (removable) collar is now passed on to the said stud, following which the
necktie is passed around, the band of which is placed below the outstanding stud...
which latter is then turned down and thus keeps the said band in position, while it.
further affords an ornamental appearance at the back of the neck.
Dated this 30th day of November 1895.
