Improvements in Fastening Pins for Neck Ties.
I, JOSEPH WEIL, Merchant, of No. 172 East 94th Street, in the City of New
York, in the County of New York and State of New York, United States of
America, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the fastening pins that are attached
concealed to the rear sides of articles of neck wear and serve for holding and
retaining the free end of the neck band after the same has been passed around the
neck of the wearer.
The object of my invention is to provide a fastening pin of this kind which
is simple in construction can easily be applied and fastened is held firmly and
securely and which is not expensive in manufacture and can readily be produced in
large quantities.
My invention consists in a fastening piu made of wire which is pointed at one
end to form the holding prong for holding the free end of the neck band which is
engaged therewith said pointed prong extending beyond the edge of that part of
the article of neck wear on which the pin is applied.
The wire forming the pin is bent at the upper end of the fastening prong
to form a downwardly extending loop in front of the fastening prong and between
which loop and prong the bottom edge part of the piece through which the pin has
been passed is clamped the upper end of said loop preventing forcing the pin
down too far.
From the top of the loop the wire extends upward and at its upper end is shaped
to form one or more eyes.
From these eyes the wire may be carried downward to the top of the loop so
that the wire is doubled so as to give greater stiffness.
To fasten the pin the pointed prong is passed through the fabric of the article of
neck wear in such a manner that the edge of the fabric is between the prong and
loop and the eye or eyes rest flat on the fabric and then the eyes are stitched to the
fabric whereby the top of the pin is held firmly and securely on the fabric and the
pin cannot move lengthwise or laterally.
The pin can thus be fastened with great facility.

Improvements in Fastening Pins for Neck Ties.
I, JOSEPH WEIL, Book-keeper of No. 172 East 94th Street, in the City of
New York, in the County of New York, in the State of New York, in the United
States of America, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
[Price 8d.]

page_text: manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in neck band fastening pins for neck
wear.
The object of my invention is to provide a pin of this kind which can readily be
fastened on the articles of neck wear and adjusted in the proper position, is held
firmly and securely and cannot give in any direction when the neck band is being
applied on the same, and which is strong and simple in construction.
The invention consists in a neck band fastening pin bent and shaped out of a
piece of wire to have a pointed prong for holding the neck band and with loops,
eyes and jams by means of which it can be fastened on the shield or analogous part
of the article of neck wear all as will be fully described and set forth hereinafter
and finally pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this Specification and in which
like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures:
Figure 1 is a face view of my improved fastening pin applied on a piece of
fabric.
Figure 2 is a rear view of the pin.
Figure 3 is a side view of the pin, the fabric being shown in section.
Figures 4 to 8 are face views of modified construction of the pin, all shown on a
smaller scale.
The fastening pin A, is made of a single piece of wire having one end tapered
and shaped to form a point B' at the free end of a prong B.
At the upper end of said prong the wire is bent U shaped as at B2 toward the
front in such a manner that the shank C, of the U shaped part B² is in a plane in
front of the plane of the prong B.
At about half the length of the prong B, the wire is again bent U shaped as at C*
to extend upward in the same plane as the shank C, and at the side of the same, to
form the shank D, which extends up beyond the bend B² and at the upper end of
said shauk D, the wire is bent to form a double eye E and a shank F, extending
down to the bend B2, the said shank F being at the side of the shank D, and
in the same plane with the same and the shank C, and the double eye E, being
in a plane behind the shanks D and F, and substantially in the same plane as
the prong B.
The prong B, as shown in Figure 3 is slightly inclined downward and toward
the shanks C and D so as to form a pocket and to give the prong B a certain
spring.
To fasten the pin on the shield G, or other piece of fabric, the pin part B, is
placed on the said piece of fabric and forced through the same a greater or less
distance from the edge in such a manner that that part of the fabric between
the edge of the fabric and the point where the prong has pierced it rests
between the prong B and the shank C, and the lower part of the shank D, the
eye E resting on that face of the fabric from which the prong B has been forced
through.
The fabric is thus clamped between the prong or pin part B, and the
shanks CD as shown in Figure 3, and the double eye E, is stitched to the
fabric as shown. Thereby the fastening pin is held firmly and securely and
cannot give laterally or lengthwise nor can it turn on its length axis as many
pins do.
In the modification shown in Figure 4, the double eye E is replaced by a triple
eye E' and in the construction shown in Figure 5, the double eye E' is made in a
different manner.
In the Figures 6 and 7 the double eye is replaced by a single eye E³ or E
respectively, either in line with the pin or slightly at one side. In Figure 8, the
lower loop formed by the shanks C and D is carried down beyond the point B¹ as
this is desirable in some cases so as to prevent the pin passing into the scarf after

page_text: it has passed through the neck band and also to protect the fingers from the pin
point when removing the band.
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. A fastening pin for the neck bands of articles of neck wear, formed of a single
and continuous piece of wire pointed at the lower end of a pin part, bent U shaped
at the upper end of the pin part and carried down to about half the length of
said pin part and in a plane in front of that of the pin part, to form a shank, then
bent upward in the same plane, a distance above the top of the pin part, and bent
at its upper end to form an eye, and then extending from said eye down to the top.
of the pin part, substantially as herein shown and described.
2. A fastening pin for the neck band of articles of neck wear formed of a single
and continuous piece of wire pointed at the lower end of a pin part, bent U shaped
at the upper end of the pin part to extend downward in a plane in front of the pin
part and then again bent upward to form a second shank at the side of and in the
same plane with the first mentioned shank and an eye at the upper end of said
second shank, the pin part being inclined slightly toward the two shanks and with
them forming a spring pocket for receiving a part of the fabric and clamping it,.
substantially as herein shown and described.
