Complete Specification Left, 1st Feb., 1899-Accepted, 4th Mar., 1899
I, HORACE SELIM POLL, of 32, Regent Road, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, Draper,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention refers to improved means for retaining neckties or scarfs in the
required position upon linen collars and the like..
With this object in view I form apertures through the material of the collars,
such apertures being located upon each side of the back button hole, commonly
made in the centre at the back of collars. Such apertures extend vertically and
are in the form of narrow slits, and there may be one, two or more upon eacli side
of the aforesaid button hole, and the necktie, scarf or the like being interlaced
through the apertures and thereby retained in position.
By my invention I am enabled to provide means whereby the tie may be secured
in position on the collar and is conveniently fitted thereto and retained thereon,
before the collar is adjusted round the neck of the wearer, while the means I
provide for retaining same, do not call for additional tabs or lappets, nor do they
offer objections to the collar being worn when it is not desired to employ the means
for fixing the tie.

Improvements in or connected with Linen Collars and the like.
I, HORACE SELIM POLL, of 32, Regent Road, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, Draper,
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 refers to improved means for retaining neckties or scarfs in the
required position upon linen collars and the like.
With this object in view I form apertures through the material of the collars,
such apertures being located upon each side of the back button hole, commonly
made in the centre at the back of the collar. Such apertures extend vertically and
are in the form of narrow slits, and there may be one, two or more upon each side
of the aforesaid button hole, the necktie, scarf or the like being interlaced through
the apertures, and thereby retained in position.
In order that my invention may be readily understood, I will describe same with
011

page_text: reference to the accompanying drawings, whereon, Figs. 1 and 2 shew in elevation
two linen collars formed with apertures according to my invention. Fig. 3 is a
perspective view of a collar such as is shewn at Fig. 1, with a necktie for example
applied thereto and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a collar such as is shewn at
Fig. 2 with a necktie applied thereto.
According to my invention, and with reference to Figs. 1 and 3, I form aper-
tures AA through the collar B, such apertures being located one upon each side
of the back button hole C, each aperture extending in a vertical direction. The
tie D, Fig. 3, is threaded from the outside of the collar, through one of the
apertures A, and again from the inside through another aperture A to the outside
of the collar.
At Figs. 2 and 4 a collar is shewn having two separate apertures A A¹, adjacent
to each other, upon one side of the centre or button hole C of the collar, two
other similar separate apertures being formed upon the other side of the said
button hole C as shewn, the apertures extending vertically. In this case the tie
is threaded as at Fig. 4, through one aperture A from the outside of the collar, and
back in a similar manner through the other aperture A¹, the tie is then passed at the
back of the collar through the aperture A¹ and then to the exterior of the collar
by the aperture A. By this arrangement the tie is almost completely on the out-
side of the collar the intermediate material between each pair of apertures A A¹
forming the retaining means.
Obviously any required number of separate or distinct vertical apertures A might
be formed upon each side of the button hole C and the tie interlaced through the
apertures.
By my invention I am enabled to provide means whereby. the tie may be secured
in position on the collar and is conveniently fitted thereto and retained thereon,
before the collar is adjusted round the neck of the wearer, while the means I
provide for retaining same, do not call for additional tabs or lappets, nor do they
offer objections to the collar being worn when it is not desired to employ the means
for fixing the tie.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:-
1. The improvements in or connected with linen collars and the like, consisting
of apertures formed upon each side of the centre or back button hole of the collar,
such apertures extending in a vertical direction, whereby means are provided to
receive a necktie or the like and retain same in position upon the collar, by inter-
lacing same through the apertures, substantially as described.
2. The collar, formed with vertical apertures, whereby means are provided for
retaining a necktie or the like in proper relative position upon the collar, sub-
stantially as described with reference to Figs. 1 and 3 of the accompanying draw-
ings.
3. The collar, formed with vertical apertures whereby means are provided for
retaining a neck tie or the like in proper relative position thereon, substantially as
described with reference to Figs. 2 and 4 of the accompanying drawings.
