Abstract: A loop lanyard adapted as a necktie hold-down, to display on a person, identification card mediums, for public view. The identification card medium-mounting element, placed on the smaller lanyard loop on the bottom end, may be in the form of a clasp, ring, clip, or pressure closed hook to accommodate various ID Card eyelet designs. A clothing attachment clip is affixed to the rigid portion at the top end of the lanyard loop for attachment to the shirt opening directly behind the necktie. The loop lanyard cord is designed in a manner such having a rigid support element integrated at the top where the clothing clip is affixed to maintain the integrity of the shape of the necktie width. The loop lanyard is inserted through a decorative bead to create a smaller loop where the ID card mounting medium is located. The decorative bead will allow for an adjustment by sliding the right or left side of the lanyard up or down, to maintain the ID card centered on the front portion of the necktie.

Abstract: A necktie includes a single-piece tie defining a display area and a knot area with the display area having a given pattern and the knot area having a pattern different from the given pattern. The one-piece tie can be woven or printed to produce the patterns. The tie can have a single-piece display-knot portion and a single-piece tail portion to be joined together. The tail portion can have a pattern, preferably, the same as the given pattern. A method of constructing a necktie includes cutting a tie from a single-piece of fabric having a given pattern at a display area and a pattern different from the given pattern at a knot area. The tie is folded lengthwise and is connected together at long edges. The edge-connected tie is turned inside out. Also, a single-piece display-knot portion can define the display and knot areas with the display-knot portion joined to a tail portion also preferably cut from a single-piece of fabric.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shirt collar stay with support designed in the collaboration of a front shirt collar stay and a neckband supporter. Said shirt collar stay with support is made in the form of a stiff yieldably flexible thin flat strip material from any sort of plastic, Vinyl, or PVC sheeting by the process of stamping or die cutting.

Abstract: A necktie-setting clip includes an inverted triangular front shell defining a wide and flat top opening and a narrow and deep bottom opening for a necktie to extend through the top and the bottom openings to locate behind the front shell. A pressing member is pivotally connected to a rear side of the front shell. When the pressing member is turned to a horizontal position perpendicular to the front shell, the necktie-setting clip could be adjusted to a desired position on the necktie, and when the pressing member is turned to a downward vertical position parallel to the front shell, the necktie-setting clip presses the necktie against the front shell. The necktie-setting clip replaces a conventional tie knot and makes the setting of the necktie around the user's neck easily, and may serve as an ornament on the necktie.

Abstract: A necktie holder is used for removal of stains. The necktie is fitted with the holder and is maintained in a flat condition and in tight tension during stain removal procedures. The holder is also used as a hanger which maintains the necktie in the same condition until it is completely dried out. The holder comprises two pieces of wire rod and a flat leaf spring. Both ends of the leaf spring are bent, and a coupler is attached on the both bent ends. The coupler receives each end of the wire rods, each wire rod being turned around to produce a leaf spring loop condition for storing resilient power. The necktie is kept flat and in tight tension by the two wire rods empowered with stored resilience of the leaf spring.

Abstract: A convenient disposable flat collar blank having an arcuate upper portion attached to an enlarged lower portion for keeping a freshly laundered shirt in a desired configuration, avoiding wrinkles and/or preventing creases. The back surface of the blank bears a pressure sensitive adhesive. A removable backing material is provided to cover the adhesive until the blank is put into use. The upper arcuate portion defines two elongated fingers for adhesive attachment to the neckband of a shirt under the collar in alignment with the seam of the neck of the shirt. The lower portion is adhesively engaged with the shirt over the uppermost region of the front placket, usually covering over the top button, with room for a display.

Abstract: A collar and cuff protecting device comprised of a protective collar portion fabricated of a pliable material. The protective collar has a central circular portion and a pair of end portions extending from opposing edges of the central circular portion whereby the pair of end portions are diametrically opposed from one another. The protective collar portion is adapted for securement underneath a shirt collar with the end portions extending around the shirt collar. Next is a protective cuff portion comprised of an open circular member. The protective cuff portion is adapted for securement within a cuff of a shirt.

Abstract: Methods and devices for shaping garment collars and conveying discount coupons and other advertising media are disclosed in which the collar shaping devices consist of a single piece of paperboard or other resiliently flexible material, the paperboard being divided by elongated cuts into a tongue projecting from a spine and fingers also projecting outward from the spine and lying on both sides of the tongue.

Abstract: By providing an elongated, substantially continuous body portion having a size and shape corresponding to a major length of conventional neckties, with said body portion incorporating a plurality of apertures formed therein, a necktie insert for promoting rapid, easy and efficient drying of a washed necktie is achieved. In the preferred embodiment, the necktie insert comprises two elongated arm members, formed by a centrally disposed elongated slit, which causes the arm members to be outwardly biased. In this way, a spreading force is exerted on the necktie by the insert, thereby causing the necktie to dry substantially wrinkle free.

Abstract: A device for folding a cut-out 3 e.g. for a necktie in a sewing machine having a supporting table 2 which has a slit 29 into which a cut-out 3 laid over the slit is pressed in use, includes a folding sword which is composed of folding bars 17 set in a row and which is arranged above the slit 29 in such a manner that when the folding sword enters the slit, the tie cut-out is folded around the folding sword, while as a result of the folding bars 17 descending into the slit to different depths, the edges of the tie cut-out to be sewn project from the slit 29 to a substantially constant height. The folding bars are each provided with displaceable stops 22 which can be locked on the folding bars and which, during the descent of the folding sword, run against an abutment 18 extending transversely over all the folding bars to define the particular depth to which each folding bar 17 descends.
