Improvements in and connected with Cravats or Neck-ties.
I, BERTHOLD LESSENTIIIN, of Neue Gasse, 9, Breslau, in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
This invention relates to an improved device for protecting made up neck ties.
Expensive and elegant and other neck ties have hitherto been injured during use
by the difficulty of guiding the end of the neck band of the tie through the space
provided for the purpose of fastening whereby this band as well as the tie itself
is injured and soon becomes unfit for further use.
This invention is for the purpose of avoiding this inconvenience by means of
a guide for the end of the neck band which can be easily attached on the neck tie,
and made of thin metal or any other appropriate material with or without a paper
lining through which guide the band of the tie slides easily without any difficulty
and without being injured.
This device consists of a band about 10 cm. long and 2 cm. wide of metal or
of any other convenient material, which has both its longitudinal edges bent over
and towards each other thus forming a guide and it is perforated at both ends
so that it can be easily attached to the tie.
This metal band may be constructed so as to taper in width.
The device can be easily attached on any neck tie and renders it much more
durable.

I, BERTHOLD LESsenthin, of Neue Gasse, 9, Breslau, in the Empire of Germany,
Merchant, 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 relates to an improved device for protecting made up neck ties
for the purpose of rendering them usable during a longer time than hitherto.
Expensive and elegant and other neck-ties have hitherto been injured during use
by the difficulty of guiding the end of the neck band of the tie through the space
[D]

page_text: provided for the purpose of fastening whereby this band as well as the tie itself
is injured and soon becomes unfit for further use.
This invention is for the purpose of avoiding this inconvenience by means of a
guide for the end of the neck band to be fixed preferably in diagonal direction on the
back of the upper part of the neck tie and made of thin metal or other appropriate
material and which may have a paper or other lining through which guide the
band of the tie slides easily without any difficulty and without being injured.
In the annexed drawing there is shown a form of construction of this device.
It consists of a band of about 10 cm. long and 2 cm. wide of metal or of any
other convenient material, which has both its longitudinal edges bent over and
towards each other thus forming a guide and it is perforated at both ends so that
it can be easily attached by stitching or the like to the tie. This metal band
may be constructed so as to taper in width. The device can be easily attached
on any neck tie and renders it much more durable.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is;-
Improvements in or relating to neckties consisting in the combination there-
with of a protective device consisting of a band of any suitable material tapering
in width the longitudinal edges of which are bent over so as to form a guide and
which may or may not have a paper or other lining said band or guide being
provided with openings for the purpose of attaching the same to the neck tie in
an inclined direction for the purpose of guiding the band of the neck tie sub-
stantially as and for the purpose described.
