Abstract: A v-shaped shirt collar insert made of various materials placed around the neck of a packaged dress shirt such that the v-shape will support a neck tie for display. After a neck tie is folded around the v-shaped collar insert, a strap made of various materials is placed around the neck tie to gather the material of the neck tie to create the appearance of a “knotted” neck tie. The shirt and tie combination are then placed in a cardboard or plastic package to display the shirt and tie combination.

Abstract: The invention includes a necktie fastener system capable of restraining the bottom portion of the necktie close to the shirt of a wearer, and thereby controlling the entire necktie so that it won't fly in the wind, or while leaning over a table. The invention is for use when wearing a shirt having buttons located near the center of the front of the shirt. There is an H shape which is attached to the back of the apron of the necktie by simply hot ironing it. The H shape is relatively flexible allowing easy formation of the various necktie knots. Once the necktie has been tied and adjusted, the wearer inserts the a elongated placket under the horizontal bar and attaches the placket to two adjacent shirt buttons. The resulting combination slidably secures the end of the necktie nearest the bottom of the tie to stay near the shirt of the wearer. This gives control of the entire length of the tie from flying away in the wind or falling down when reaching over a table.

Abstract: A device for securing a necktie to the front of a wearer's garment comprises a bar, sized to pass through a button hole and be retained behind it; a ring sized to allow the bar to pass therethrough; and a flexible connecting means joining the ring and the bar, the connecting means having a length sufficient to secure the necktie to the garment front, yet allow the secured necktie to move a distance away from the garment front; and the connecting means being of thickness sufficient to allow its passage though the button hole without interfering with the function of the button closure. The device is used in a method of securing the necktie to the garment's front, which comprises passing the ring between the necktie label and the posterior face, and moving the bar through the ring to encircle the label, and inserting the bar through the buttonhole.

Abstract: Provided is a combination of clothing articles packaged for sale. The combination comprises a shirt having a shirt collar and a necktie disposed about the shirt collar. The necktie comprises a length of fabric having first and second ends and at least one fold intermediate the first and second ends. An elastic band passes transversely to the length of fabric within the fold and is sized to be stretchably received about the shirt collar. A clip is engaged with the fabric proximate to the fold. The clip pinches the fabric so as to emulate the appearance of a tie knot. Also provided are methods for packaging a necktie and shirt combination.

Abstract: A necktie holder for maintaining a necktie in position is disclosed. The holder has a generally elongate body which attaches at one end to the collar button on a user's shirt and which attaches at the other end to a knot in the user's necktie. The attachment mechanism for the collar button may be a buttonhole in an enlarged portion of the tie holder, and the attachment mechanism for holding the tie may be a hook. The holder may be constructed from plastic so that it is inexpensive and semi-disposal.

Abstract: A jewelry displaying arrangement uses a knot of a necktie as a support for a stone, medallion, or other article displayed on the necktie. This arrangement relies on a foundation shaped and sized as a stylized triangle or trapezoid so that it fits into the folds of the necktie knot. The foundation may be formed from a thin sheet of material having the surface shape of a necktie knot, and may have two or more legs extending upwardly from a base portion adjacent which the ornament, or other item to be displayed, is attached to the foundation. These legs provide the foundation with a wide enough upper end so as to prohibit the foundation from falling through the knot. The ornament may be attached to the foundation by any of a number of methods so that when the ornament holder is worn the ornament protrudes or drops below the knot into a visible position.

Abstract: A necktie protection apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus typically includes an elongated body, which is typically clear flexible plastic, into which the tie can be placed for protection from soiling.

Abstract: Traditional tie clips usually clipping a necktie from only one side, resulting in a biased look when the tie is clipped. This may affect the overall look of the wearer. Further, the tie may be slipped away relatively easily. A tie clip (10) of the present invention provides two tie fasteners (12,14) for fastening the tie from two opposite sides. The two tie fasteners (12,14) are connected by a connector (16) that may have a recess (24) for accommodating the narrower end of a necktie. The tie fasteners (12,14) are slidably attached to the connector (16) such that the separation between the two tie fasteners (12,14) may be adjusted for use with necktie with different widths, or in a case when the wearer wishes to clip the tie clip (10) at different positions of the lower end of the tie.

Abstract: A slip proof device for a necktie having a zipper thereon has a slide mounted on a bracket supporting a knot of the necktie. A controlling member is mounted onto the slide and extends a restricting hook having a sharp point through the slide. Thereby, the sharp point is able to extend into a gap defined between teeth of the zipper to secure the slide to the zipper and prevents the knot from slipping loose. Furthermore, the sharp point is able to withdraw from the gap to allow free adjustment of the slide with respect to the zipper.

Abstract: The invention offers a clip that makes it possible to use any necktie as is by the enabling the simple tying of a necktie knot with a single step. The invention is a roll-knot necktie clip that is formed from a holding frame (1) having a claw-shaped catch section (2a) and an inside holding frame (4a) in the shape of a ring that is joined to the base (5) by a connector plate (8). The second working example of the invention is an improved version made from the first working example and is formed from the holding frame (1) and the inside holding frame (4a). The second working example makes it possible to form a knot in nearly a single step without the use of a screw or other device by folding the inside of the essential part (14) and holding this in the inside holding frame, then inserting the outside (11a) and inside (11b) of the necktie (11b) that are overlapped in a U-shape into the holding frame.
