Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the 5th February
1870.
I, GEORGE TYLER, of Lawrence Lane, Cheapside, in the City of
London, do hereby declaro the nature of the said Invention for “IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF FASTENERS FOR SECURING TOGETHER THE ENDS,
BANDS, OR PARTS OF MADE-UP SCARVES, NECKTIES, BELTS, SASHES, OR OTHER
ARTICLES OF WEARING APPAREL TO WHICH SUCH FASTENINGS ARE APPLICABLE,"
to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to the construction of pin and hook fasteners
of the character extensively used for the purpose of securing or retaining
the bands or ends of made-up scarves or neckties, the pins or hooks
being secured to or combined with the knot or ornamental tie of such
made-up scarves or neckties. Fastenings of this character may also be
applied to belts, sashes, or other articles of wearing apparel.

page_text: Heretofore the stem of the pin point or hook employed for these
purposes has been formed with holes, whereby it is attached by being
sewn or stitched to a piece of cardboard or other suitable stiffening
material, which is afterwards enclosed within or affixed to the knot or tio
when making up. When in use the sewing thread or stitches by which 5
the pin point or hook is attached is liable to givo way and thus render
such fastenings uscless.
Now the object of one part of my improvements is so to construct the
stem or body of the pin point or hook that it can be readily and firmly
attached to the cardboard or other stiffening material without the aid of 1
sewing, and so that the pin or point when applied to or combined with a
scarf, necktic, or other article as a fastening thereto will not-be liable to
give way or get out of place.
...
...
In carrying this part of my improvements into practice various
contrivances may be employed for attaching pins points and hooks as
fastenings for scarves; neckties; or other articles of wearing apparel in
accordance with my Invention without the aid of sewing or stitching;
but I prefer to fix the pin point or hook to the cardboard or other
stiffening material by means of an eyelet or cyclets, the stem or body of
the pin point or hook being formed with a flat surface having a hole or 2
holes for the cyclets to pass through; or the eyelet may be formed out
of the stem or body of the pin point or hook so as to be turned over
upon the stiffening material to which it is to be attached. In place of
employing eyelets to secure the pins points or hooks the stems.or. bodies
may be so formed as to pass projecting parts through openings in the 2
cardboard or stiffening material, such projecting parts being turned and
pressed down in a similar manner to the well known paper fastener upon
the opposite side of such material in order to secure the pin point or
hook firmly thereto; or the stem or body of the pin point or book may
be secured to the cardboard or other stiffening material by means of a
rivets or by means of flanges turned over and secured to such material
without the aid of sewing or stitching, as heretofore practiced.
According to another part of my improvements I-dispense with the-
cardboard or other stiffening material to which the pin point or hook is
attached, and form or construct the pin point or hook in one piece or in
combination with a metal plate of the size of the cardboard or other
stiffening material required for forming the knot, tic, or other part of the

page_text: article to which the pin or hook fastening is to be applied. Fasteners
_constructed in accordance with this part of my improvements_may_be_
attached to scarves, neckties, or other articles of wearing apparel either
by: sewing or by the means; previously described in accordance with-the
first part of my improvements..
