page_text: I, JOSEPH JOHN WILLIAM MOODY, of 7 Fitzjohns Parade, Finchley New Road,
Middlesex, Hosier, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a novel method of making up scarves or ties for Gentle
men's wear so that the article can be transformed from a Sailor's knot tie to a cross
over scarf tie the cross over being retained in position by a pin or otherwise.
For the purpose of my invention, I affix to the back or what is known as the barrel
portion, a tail piece or end looking in one direction, and another, or corresponding tail
piece, looking in the opposite direction, one being attached close to the corner of the
barrel piece and the other near to the middle.
The barrel portion when laid out flat before being folded round to form the front of
the tie or barrel has one end of angle shape, the other being square and attached to
the backing or stiffener, to the back of which the neck band is attached but at an
angle therewith.
If the article is used as a Sailors knot tie, one of the tail ends after the front piece
is folded over and stitched, is passed through the loop downwards and takes a position
under the other tail end, whereby two ends hang from the bow or barrel portion, the
back of said barrel portion being formed with a seam slit for the passage of the
neck band which is held securely by the ordinary spike pin but if the article is to be
worn as a cross over tie or scarf, the neck band is drawn through the barrel and the
tail piece previously pushed through is withdrawn. The two tail pieces then appear
as extension of the barrel portion over which the two ends are then folded and can be
fixed by a pin, the back of the barrel portion being brought into position for the
neck band to be passed through the seam slit for securing it on to the neck of the
wearer.

page_text: I, JOSEPH JOHN WILLIAM MOODY, of 7 Fitzjohns Parade, Finchley, New Road,
Middlesex, Hosier, 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 a novel method of making up scarves or ties for
gentlemen's wear, so that the article can be transformed from a sailor's knot tie
to a cross over scarf tie, the cross over being retained in position by a pin or
otherwise.
For the purpose of my invention as shown in the annexed drawings, I affix to the
back or what is known as the barrel portion A, a tail piece or end B looking in one
direction and another or corresponding tail piece C looking in the opposite direction,
one being attached close to the corner D of the barrel piece A and the other near to
the middle as at Figures 1 and 2 which are respectively front and back views.
The barrel portion A when laid out flat before being folded round to form the front
of the tie or barrel has one end E of angle shape, the other being square or nearly so
and attached to the backing or stiffener, to the back of which the neck band F is
attached but at an angle therewith.
If the article is used as a sailor's knot tie, the front or barrel piece A is folded over
from both ends and the two portions E, D, caused to meet and these are sewn together
as at Figure 3 back view and Figure 4 front view, the tail end is then passed
through the barrel A downwards and takes a position under the other tail end B
whereby two ends hang from the bow or barrel portion A, the band F being passed
through the space. formed between the turned in end C and the barrel piece to
constitute a perfect sailor knot tie as at Figure 5.
When the article is to be worn as a cross over tie or scarf, the neck band F is drawn
through the barrel to project through from the lower end and the tail piece C
previously pushed through is withdrawn. The two tail pieces then appear as
extensions of the barrel portion as indicated by dotted lines Figure 6, over which the
two ends are then folded and can be fixed by a pin, the back of the barrel portion
being brought into position for the neck band to be passed through a seam slit a see
dotted lines Figure 2 for securing it on to the neck of the wearer.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is: :-
The arrangement of the pieces, Figures 1 and 2, by which, when the barrel A is
sewn at its edges, a necktie or scarf is produced, capable of being worn as a sailor's
knot tie, Figure 5, and by shifting the position of the tail pieces B, C, and the neck-
band F, the same article can be transformed into a cross over scarf or tie as indicated
at Figure 6 as described.
The 13th day of August 1888.
