Improved Combined Stud and Scarf Holder,
I, JOHANNES PANCKE, of 80, Warschauerstrasse, Berlin, Germany, Merchant, do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The present invention consists of an improved combined collar stud and scarf
holder, which is designed to obviate the disadvantages hitherto accruing from the
employment of the usual hooks or holders for the scarf or necktie. Hitherto the
scarf or neck band has either been kept down in position on the collar by means
of a hook engaging under the lower edge of the collar or it has been clamped to
the collar. Both these methods however prevent the free movement of the tie
around the collar which is absolutely necessary in the case of knot ties, which
are arranged by the wearer each time they are put on.
The hook devices spoil the collar to a certain extent and render it necessary to
handle the scarf or neck band a good deal whilst arranging the tie, thus often
soiling the latter.
According to the present invention the stud is combined with a holder for
the scarf band which, whilst keeping the latter down in place allows free move-
ment of the band around the collar. The parts of the stud are arranged so that
they may be easily inserted in the collar holes.
In order to render the present specification easily intelligible reference is had
to the accompanying drawing in which similar letters of reference denote similar
parts throughout the several views: -
Fig. 1 is a perspective rear elevation of the stud showing the scarf holder
turned partially upwards, Fig. 2 a similar elevation showing the holder bow
turned right up, in position to insert the tie band and Fig. 3 is a plan showing
the parts in position for insertion through the button holes of the collars. The
figures are drawn on an enlarged scale to more clearly show the arrangement of
the parts.
The button or head a of the stud is provided with a fixed stem 6 having its
forward end somewhat narrowed as at d. A bow e is hinged to the end of the
narrowed extension as at d, whilst a downwardly extending bow f having bend h
and parellel bow 9 is hinged to the stud stem at the point of junction c of the
narrow extension with the stem proper. The bow e is capable of movement on
its pivot to the extent of 180°, whilst the bow f, g may be turned upwardly on
its pivot 90°, so as to be brought into line with the stem as shown at Figure 3.
The device is manipulated in the following manner: —
The bows e, and f, g are first turned into the position shown at Figure 3 and
the stem of the stud is inserted through the button holes of the collar of the shirt
and the collar proper. The bow f,g is then turned downwardly as shown at
Figure 2 and the bow e turned up 90°. The scarf band is now laid in the bend h
and the bow e turned down 1800 so as to retain the scarf enclosed in the space
enclosed by the bows e and f, g. Thus it will be seen that the scarf band is free
to move round the collar but is prevented from rising up on the collar.

page_text: Spring catch stops, of the well known class may be employed in connection
with the bows to retain the same in the stop or half stop positions, or the friction
of the parts may be sufficient for the purpose. The particular kind of arrange-
ment of the hinges for the purpose specified is immaterial, the combination of the
parts to enclose the scarf band being the main feature of the invention. The
combined stud and scarf holder may be made of any material suited for the
purpose.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
A combined stud and scarf holder having the head a, with stem b, having the
how f, g hinged thereto intermediate of its length and a bow e hinged at about
its end, the said bows being adapted when the stud is in position on the collar to
be turned down, and depending, to enclose the scarf band within them substan-
tially as described.
