PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Fastenings for Scarfs, Bows, Made-up
Ties, and the like.
I, WILLIAM WILLERINGHAUS, of 13, Hamsell Street, in the City of London,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to fastenings of the kind described in the Specification of
Letters Patent granted to J. Welch, dated November 23, A.D. 1887, No. 16135,
designed for connecting the two ends of a scarf, bow, made-up tie or the like.
The object of my present invention is to provide means whereby such devices serve
not only for the purpose hereinbefore mentioned but also for preventing the neck
band from slipping up on the collar and to this end my invention consists essentially
in attaching to or forming integral with the lower part or bar of such fastening, a
hook, which, when the band is secured, is adapted to engage beneath the edge of
the collar and thus prevent the fastening, and consequently the band, from
rising.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Fastenings for Scarfs, Bows, Made-up
Ties, and the like.
I, WILLIAM WILLERINGHAUS, of 13, Hamsell Street, in the City of London,
Manufacturer, 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 :-
My invention relates to buckles or fastenings of the kind described in the
Specification of Letters Patent granted to J. Welch, dated November 23, A.D. 1887,
No. 16135, designed for connecting the two ends of the neck-band of a scarf, bow,
made-up tie or the like.
The object of my present invention is to provide means whereby such devices serve
not only for the purpose hereinbefore mentioned but also for preventing the neck
band from slipping up on the collar and to this end my invention consists essentially
in attaching to or forming integral with the lower part or bar of such fastening, a
hook.
My invention will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawing
in which
Figure 1 is a front elevation, and
Figure 2 an edge view of a fastener or buckle provided with my improvements.
a is the fastener or buckle proper which, in the drawing, is represented as stamped
out of sheet metal, and b is a tongue (indicated by dotted lines in Figure 1) integral
with the said buckle, which tongue is turned back to form the hook c.
This hook, when tie is applied and the ends of the band secured, is adapted to
engage beneath the bottom edge of the collar and thus prevent the fastening and
consequently the band from rising.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
(1.) A fastening or buckle of the kind herein before referred to, provided with a
hook, substantially as, and for the purpose, described.
(2.) The manufacture and use of the improved fastening or buckle hereinbefore
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
Dated the 5th day of May 1890.
