An Improved Combined Collar-stud and Tie-holder.
I, JENS KRISTIAN JENSEN, of No. 11, Moy Street, St. Kilda, near Melbourne, in
the Colony of Victoria, Draughtsman, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
-
This invention has been devised in order to provide a combined collar-stud and
tie-holder which will not only answer for the ordinary purposes of a collar-stud but
which will also serve to keep the tie in position.
According to this invention I construct the stud with a flat shank and form
a slot near the end of said shank and I construct the tie-holder out of a piece
of steel plate or other suitable material and provide it with a downwardly project-
ing spring tongue at the back, said spring being of a size that can be conveniently
passed through the slot in the stud shank. This tie-holder is also provided with a
slot or recess to receive the end of the stud shank, when the fastening is com-
pleted, the effect being that the spring-tongue on the tie-holder will hold the end
of the stud shank in engagement with said slot or recess and will effectually lock
it in position.
The tie-holder is provided with holes to enable it to be sewn or otherwise secured
to the tie or bow and it is obvious that it can be attached to any desired pattern or
kind of tie or bow, and if desired can be fitted with a bent wire or other frame upon
which the bow or tie can be formed and supported.
My invention enables the cardboard and elastic, generally used on made-up ties
as well as the usual neck bands to be dispensed with. It holds the tie in place.
effectually prevents the collar coming unfastened accidentally, and will be found
a great convenience.

An Improved Combined Collar-stud and Tie-holder.
I, JENS KRISTIAN JENSEN, of No. 11, Moy Street, St. Kilda, near Melbourne, in
the Colony of Victoria, Draughtsman, do hereby declare the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention has been devised in order to provide a combined collar-stud and

page_text: tie-holder which will not only answer for the ordinary purposes of a collar-stud but
which will also serve to keep the tie in position.
According to this invention I construct the stud with a flat shank and form
a slot near the end of said shank and I construct the tie-holder out of a piece
of steel plate or other suitable material and provide it with a downwardly project-
ing spring tongue at the back, said spring being of a size that can be conveniently
passed through the slot in the stud shank. This tie-holder is also provided with a
slot or recess to receive the end of the stud shank, when the fastening is com-
pleted, the effect being that the spring-tongue on the tie-holder will hold the end
of the stud shank in engagement with said slot or recess and will effectually lock
it in position.
The tie-holder is provided with holes to enable it to be sewn or otherwise secured
to the tie or bow and it is obvious that it can be attached to any desired pattern or
kind of tie or bow, and if desired can be fitted with a bent wire or other frame upon
which the bow or tie can be formed and supported.
My invention enables the cardboard and elastic, generally used on made-up ties
as well as the usual neck bands to be dispensed with. It holds the tie in place
effectually prevents the collar coming unfastened accidentally, and will be found
a great convenience.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practical effect I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which I
have illustrated my improved combined collar-stud and tie-holder.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my button or stud.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of a tie or bow with my tic holder attached
thereto.
Figure 3 is a part sectional view shewing my stud and tie or bow fixed in position.
In carrying my invention into practice I construct the stud or button B with
the flat or other shaped shank b₁ either from one piece of metal as shewn at
Figure 1 or it may be made in two or more parts and near the end of this shank I
form the slot 62, or instead of a shank I may fix an eye piece to the back portion of
the stud. The tie holder A is cut or pressed out of sheet steel or other suitable
material and provided with the downwardly projecting spring tongue a¹ at the
back as clearly shewn at Figures 2 and 3 the spring tongue a being of a size so
that it can be conveniently passed through the slot 62 in the stud or button B the
upper end being bent or curved so as to form the head a². Or the end of the
shank 61 may be formed hook shaped so as to take into a slot or opening formed in
the tie holder A. When the spring tongue a¹ is fitted into the slot 62 in the stud
shank after the collar D has been buttoned onto the stud it holds the tie or bow E
firmly in position and at the same time this spring tongue effectually locks the
stud in position, the head a preventing the hook or tongue from sliding up in
the slot.
The tie holder is provided with holes to enable it to be sewn or otherwise secured
to the tie or bow and it will be obvious that it may be attached to any desired
pattern or kind of bow or tie, and if desired the tie holder may be fitted with a
bent wire or other frame upon which the bow or tie can be made or supported.
By the use of my invention the cardboard and elastic generally used in made-up
ties as well as the usual neck bands are dispensed with, the tie is held firmly in its
place and the collar is effectually prevented from coming unfastened accidently.
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;-
