PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Fastening or Holding Device for Collars and
Neckties.
I, VEIT FRANZ VON RIED, of Hildburghausen, in the Duchy of Saxe Meiningen,
Empire of Germany, Editor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention consists of a device designed to act both as a collar-stud and as a
necktie-retainer which will prevent the neckbands of neckties bows, cravats, scarves,
and the like from slipping either up or down at the back of the neck of the
wearer.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figs. 1, 2 and 3 show a front elevation, a vertical sectional elevation, and a plan
respectively of my device applied to a shirt and retaining in position a collar and
the neckband of a cravat; and
Figs. 4, 5 and 6 show views shewing the device detached.
The improved combined stud and necktie-retainer comprises a disc a which is
provided with a shank e and with a screw-like portion 6 the purpose of the latter
being to enable the disc a to be more readily inserted in the stud-holes. dare
two eyes which are mounted in the shank c in such a manner as to be capable of
turning therein.
When employing this device, the disc a is twisted first through the stud-hole of
the collar g, and then through that of the neckband of the shirt, which is thus
secured to the collar. The eyes d being assumed to be in the position shown in
Fig. 6, the neckband h of the cravat is passed through them. The eyes d are then
turned back into the position shown in Figs. 1 and 3, so that the neck-band ḥ is
clipped against the collar g by the eyes d and they themselves do not now project
outwardly beyond the shank c.
It will be seen that by means of this device the neck-band of the cravat is
prevented from slipping either up or down, and that the device at the same time
fulfils the function of an ordinary collar-stud.

Neckties.
I, VEIT FRANZ VON RIED, of Hildburghausen, in the Duchy of Saxe Meiningen,
Empire of Germany, Editor, 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 consists of a device designed to act both as a collar-stud and as
a necktie-retainer which will prevent the neck-bands of neckties, bows, cravats,

page_text: scarves, and the like from slipping either up or down at the back of the neck of the
wearer.
In the drawings filed with my Provisional Specification,
Figs. 1, 2 and 3 show a front elevation, a vertical sectional elevation and a plan
respectively of my device applied to a shirt and retaining in position a collar and
the neckband of a cravat; and
Figs. 4, 5, and 6 show views shewing the device detached.
The improved combined stud and necktie-retainer comprises a disc a which is
provided with a shank c and with a screw-like portion & the purpose of the latter
being to enable the disc a to be more readily inserted in the stud-holes. d are two
eyes which are mounted in the shank c in such a manner as to be capable of turning
therein.
C
When employing this device, the disc a is twisted first through the stud-hole of
the collar g, and then through that of the neck-band of the shirt, which is thus
secured to the collar. The eyes d being assumed to be in the position shown in
Fig. 6, the neckband h of the cravat is passed through them. The eyes d are then
turned back into the position shown in Figs. 1 and 3, so that the neckband h is
clipped against the collar by the eyes d and they themselves do not now project
outwardly beyond the shank c. It will be seen that by means of this device the
neckband of the cravat is prevented from slipping either up or down, and that the
device at the same time fulfils the function of an ordinary collar-stud.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what mauner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is :-
A device for securing a collar to the neckband of a shirt and for retaining the
neckband of a tie or cravat in position, comprising a disc a, shank c, and movable
eyes d through which latter the neckband of the tie or cravat is passed and held,
substantially as described.
