NOCK-Le to SUIT CONT
1.
I MOSES JOSEPH BIANCO of 51 Péter Street in the City of Manchester in the
County of Lancaster Restaurent Keeper do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows :—
The object of this invention is a ready and convenient means of securing the collar
and scarf or neck-tie to the shirt collar of the wearer without the necessity of passing
the usual band round the collar as heretofore and whereby the ordinary collar stud or
button is dispensed with.
In performing my invention I secure a spring-shank similar to that now employed
in sleeve-links at the back of the necktie or scarf. The socket to receive this shank
is then passed like a button through the button holes in the shirt collar and also through
the button holes of the collar itself and thus presents itself ready in front for the whole
to be secured in position. This is readily and conveniently effected by the shank at
the back of the tie or scarf being now inserted in the socket and which being pressed
home thus locks itself self-actingly and secure all together without the possibility of
becoming unfastened.

Necktie to the Shirt Collar of the Wearer.
I MOSES JOSEPH BLANCO, of 1 Peter Street, Manchester, do hereby declare the
nature of my 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 relates to an improved combination of neck tie and fastener for
securing the same to the shirt collar stud of the wearer.
In performing my invention I employ for the purpose a fastener similar to that
used in sleeve links for securing the cuffs around the wrists of the wearer, but instead
of having a pair of heads as in a sleeve-link I affix one of the studs to a broad
metallic plate a as illustrated by back view Fig. 1. and side sectional view Fig. 2. on the
accompanying drawing.
I fasten this plate a to the back of the neck tie or scarf b either by stitching or by
piercing the fabric and turning in the three corners c of the plate (after the manner
of securing paper fasteners) and as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1.
Around the stud d so projecting from the plate a and working in a socket e is the
spring slide illustrated in its normal position in Fig. 1. The socket g or sleeve to
receive this stud (illustrated separately in Fig. 3) is first passed like a button through
the button holes in the shirt collar and also through the button holes of the collar
itself and thus presents itself ready in front for the whole to be secured in position.
This is readily and conveniently effected by the stud d projecting at the back of the
neck tie b being now inserted in the socket 9, and which being pressed home thus
locks itself self-actingly and secures all together without the possibility of becoming
unfastened.
To unfasten the neck-tie again it is only requisite to depress the spring slide ƒ when
the parts are free to become separated.
Another feature of my invention consists in the collar stud having a flat neck (in
the direction of the button holes of the shirt-collar) and which is so shaped to prevent
the stud turning round whilst the stud projecting from the neck tie is also square in
cross section for a similar purpose and is by preference pointed at its extremity (as
illustrated in Fig. 2) to facilitate its introduction into the mouth of the socket.
As applied to scarfs or neck-ties to be worn with other than turndown collars and
with a band passing round the outside of the collar I employ my improved fastener
in conjunction with a band as illustrated by Front view Fig. 4 and plan view Fig. 5.
The neck tie is supported in this case upon the same improved collar stud fastener as
hereinbefore described and illustrated in Figs. 1. 2 and 3 but the band which is formed
of two pieces of spring metal h (covered with the same pattern of material as the scarf
itself) is passed round the collar of the wearer and the one end of the band which
overlaps the other is inserted in the flat metallic clip i and so such band is adjusted
in width and in external appearance constitutes the supporting medium.

page_text: I do not confine myself to the exact description of spring-fastening hereinbefore
described and illustrated as it will be obvious that any of the fasteners now in vogue
for securing sleeve-links might be substituted without departing from the principle of
my invention.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
1st. The improvements in neck tie and scarf fasteners substantially as hereinbefore
described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
2nd. In securing a neck tie or scarf to the shirt collar of the wearer the employ-
ment of a stud in combination with a spring socket substantially as and for the
purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing.
