An Improved Tie Clip or Holder.
We, GERSON OBERNECK and HERRMANN LEHMANN, of Skalitzer Strasse 104,
Berlin, in the Empire of Germany, Scarf Manufacturers 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 :-
Clips or holders for ties or scarves as hitherto made do not properly secure
these articles in position. This invention has for its object to remedy this defect
by fixing upon the inner or reverse side of the tie a plate which is cut out inside
and outside and upon which is arranged a movable ring likewise cut out at the
sides, so that after the collar stud has been inserted in the inner slot of the said
plate and of the ring the solid part of the latter can be pushed over the outside
notch of the plate.
The accompanying drawings illustrate a tie clip or holder constructed according
to our invention.
Fig. 1 is a section on line a-b of Figure 2.
Figs. 2 and 3 shew the device in an open and closed position respectively.
Fig. 4 is a section on line c-d of Figure 2 and Fig. 5 is a section on line e-f
of Figure 3.
Fig. 6 is a modification of our improved tie clip or holder.
This tie clip or holder consists essentially of a plate y and of a ring a movably
connected thereto.
The plate y which is fixed on the inside of the tie is perforated centrally at v
and notched on the side at n, being further bent up at y¹ in such a manner that a
collar stud may be conveniently inserted in the central opening o.
Upon this rim y' is arranged the closing ring, which can be easily turned
round, and is centrally perforated and laterally notched to correspond with the
said plate, being further provided with a handle z for convenience of manipulation.
The tie clip or holder is used in the following manner :-
After the plate y has been fixed to the inside of the tie, the ring & is moved
to its open position as shown in Figure 3, so that the holes n and of the plate y
and of the ring & may be open.
ご
The collar stud is now conveniently inserted in the central openings of and y
and the handle is turned down or to the left hand side according as the device is
made, thus closing the lateral opening of the plate y and firmly clamping the
tie to the shank of the collar stud. The various parts of the tie holder or clip
above described may be ornamented according as desired and operate with perfect
safety.
In the tie clip or holder shewn in Fig. 6 the plate y is not directly connected
with the inside of the tie, but moves in a frame w by means of a slide p, this
frame being fixed to the inside of the tie. This slide is furnished centrally with a
small spring p' so as to be placed at any desired height in the guide or staple of
the frame. When in use the plate y is pushed upwards after being opened, when
the stud is inserted and the ring closed. The mobility of the plate y is so
arranged as to facilitate the insertion of the stud in the same; after the ring is
closed the plate y is pushed down again into its proper position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. A tie clip or holder characterized by a plate y perforated in the centre and
cut out at the sides, upon which is arranged a movable ring which is turned back

page_text: before the tie is fixed to the stud in order to free the lateral opening of the plate y,
for the purpose of inserting the collar stud in the tie clip, and is turned on again
for the purpose of fixing the tie to the collar stud.
2. A tie clip or holder characterized by the arrangement of a laterally notched
movable ring upon a laterally and centrally notch plate y which is arranged to
slide within the staple or guide of a frame firmly connected to the tic, substantially
as described and shown in the drawings.
Dated this Twentieth day of August 1891.
