  • Patent number: 5414908
    Abstract: An integral, one piece tie clip. The clip includes a body portion and first and second transverse portions; a first spring portion connects the body and the first transverse portion, and a second spring portion connects the first and second transverse portions. Two garment receiving slots are thus formed, the first between the body and the first transverse portion, and the second between the first transverse portion and the second transverse portion. Both slots are urged toward a normally closed position by their respective spring portions. The first garment receiving slot may be positively actuated to an open position to receive a tie label therein by simply providing a slight amount of manual opening pressure to oppose the spring action. The second garment receiving slot may also be manually actuated to an open position to receive a shirt or blouse therein, and allowed to return to a closed position wherein shirt is frictionally secured.
