The second component includes a magnet which is magnetically coupled with the first component in order to secure the tie to the shirt. The first component further includes a button fastener which attaches with the button, a magnetic member which is magnetically coupled with the second component, and a connector which flexibly connects the button fastener and the magnetic member.

  • Patent number: 6513203
    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.

  • Patent number: 6510590
    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.
