  • Patent number: 6050403
    Abstract: A necktie storage case provides an envelope defining a channel sized to carry a folded necktie. A slide allows convenient manual loading and unloading of a folded necktie into the interior channel of the envelope. The slide provides an elongated body sized for travel within the interior channel of the envelope and through a slide slot defined in the envelope. The elongated body of the slide carries a necktie support panel having a size which prevents passage through the slide slot. The slide is movable between three positions, a transfer position, wherein the necktie may be manually attached or removed from the slide; a retracted position, wherein the necktie is fully retracted within the interior channel of the envelope and the elongated body of the slide is withdrawn from the interior channel; and a storage position, wherein the elongated body of the slide is folded against and attached to an outside portion of the envelope.
