  • Patent number: 5315713
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to improved apparatus for restraining a necktie to a shirt. The present invention employs attachment means on the back of a conventional necktie to secure the tie's normally concealed tail in two positions, and a horizontal member, having buttonholes therein, slidably mounted on the tail between the attachment means. The horizontal member may then be secured to a shirt button to hold the tie in place during normal wear. The apparatus allows the necktie to automatically adjust to compensate for changes in the amount of slack on the necktie. Various alternative attachment means are disclosed, including means for ease in providing restraint apparatus for "clip-on" and other pre-tied neckwear.
