Reversible four way tie

Abstract

A reversible necktie having a knot assembly, a knot section, an apron section, and a strip assembly. The knot assembly has first and second faces, and a dividing wall; wherein the first face has a different appearance that the second face. The knot section has folding guides and bottom knot section edges. The knot section has upper knot section faces with a knot section slit and lower knot section faces. The strip assembly has a strip having first and second slit, a hook fastener and a loop fastener. The apron section has first and second aprons. The first apron has a first appearance that is different from a second appearance of the second apron. Either first or second face is positioned outwardly to coordinate with either first or second aprons to achieve four possible combinations to wear.

(11) As seen in FIG. 1, knot assembly 20 comprises face 22, top edge 24, and bottom edge 26. Face 22 comprises a predetermined appearance that may comprise at least one color, pattern, print, and/or design.

(12) Knot section 60 comprises upper knot section face 65 and lower knot section face 75, which are defined by pull ring 67, folding guide 72, and bottom knot section edge 82. Upper knot section face 65 has a more elongated shape than lower knot section face 75, and narrows towards pull ring 67. Upper knot section face 65 comprises knot section slit 62. Knot section 60 further comprises upper lateral edge 64 connected to lower lateral edge 74 by corner 68, and upper lateral edge 66 connected to lower lateral edge 76 by corner 70. Lower lateral edge 74 is connected to bottom knot section edge 82 by end apex 78, and bottom knot section edge 82 is connected to lower lateral edge 76 by end apex 80. First folding guide 72 is longer than first bottom knot section edge 82.

(13) Strip assembly 100, comprises strip 102 with first slit 104 and second slit 110 to fix reversible necktie 10 to a shirt, not seen. In an alternate embodiment, second slit 110 may be hook or ring to receive a shirt button. When present invention 10 is worn, strip assembly 100 is positioned through knot assembly 20 as seen in FIGS. 7 and 8. Pull ring 112, positioned at an end opposite first slit 104, is utilized to introduce strip assembly 100 into knot assembly 20 more easily. Hook fastener 106 and loop fastener 108 secure strip assembly 100 around knot assembly 20.

(14) Apron section 90 comprises rolled edges 92 and 94, apron 95, and apron end 96.

(15) Apron 95 also comprises a predetermined appearance that may comprise at least one color, pattern, print, and/or design.

(16) In the illustrated embodiment, the predetermined appearances may be the same or different resulting in a first of four possible combinations of present invention 10.

(17) As seen in FIG. 2, knot assembly 20 also comprises face 22′, top edge 24′, and bottom edge 26′. Apron section 90 comprises apron 95. Face 22′ also comprises a predetermined appearance that may comprise at least one color, pattern, print, and/or design.

(18) In the illustrated embodiment, the predetermined appearances may be the same or different resulting in a second of four possible combinations of present invention 10.

(19) As seen in FIG. 3 and as detailed above, knot assembly 20 comprises face 22, top edge 24, and bottom edge 26. Face 22 comprises a predetermined appearance that may comprise at least one color, pattern, print, and/or design.

(20) Knot section 60 comprises upper knot section face 65′ and lower knot section face 75′, which are defined by pull ring 67, folding guide 72′, and bottom knot section edge 82′. Upper knot section face 65′ has a more elongated shape than lower knot section face 75′ and narrows towards pull ring 67. Upper knot section face 65′ comprises knot section slit 62. Knot section 60 further comprises upper lateral edge 64 connected to lower lateral edge 74 by corner 68, and upper lateral edge 66 connected to lower lateral edge 76 by corner 70. Lower lateral edge 74 is connected to bottom knot section edge 82′ by end apex 78, and bottom knot section edge 82′ is connected to lower lateral edge 76 by end apex 80. First folding guide 72′ is longer than first bottom knot section edge 82′.

(21) Apron section 90 comprises rolled edges 92 and 94, apron 95′, and apron end 96.

(22) Apron 95′ also comprises a predetermined appearance that may comprise at least one color, pattern, print, and/or design.

(23) In the illustrated embodiment, the predetermined appearances may be the same or different resulting in a third of four possible combinations of present invention 10.

(24) As seen in FIG. 4, in another embodiment of the present invention 10, knot assembly 20 comprises face 22′, top edge 24′, and bottom edge 26′, and apron section 90 comprises apron 95′, resulting in a fourth of four possible combinations of present invention 10.

(25) As best seen in FIG. 5, knot assembly 20 further comprises dividing wall 28 positioned internally between faces 22 and 22′. It is noted that a height of dividing wall 28 is shorter than the distances between top edge 24 and bottom edge 26, and top edge 24′ and bottom edge 26′ respectively. Furthermore, dividing wall 28, positioned internally, does not reach top edge 24 nor bottom edge 26, nor does it reach top edge 24′ nor bottom edge 26′ respectively.

(26) As seen in FIG. 6 in a first assembly step for one of the four possible combinations of present invention 10, knot section 60 is positioned through knot assembly 20, whereby lower knot section face 75, seen in FIG. 1, is positioned between face 22 and dividing wall 28, seen in FIG. 5, until bottom edge 26 aligns approximately with bottom knot section edge 82, seen in FIG. 1.

(27) As seen in FIGS. 7 and 8, in a second assembly step, upper knot section face 65 folds over dividing wall 28 until folding guide 72 is positioned approximately over a top edge of dividing wall 28. Upper knot section face 65 is then positioned between face 22′ and dividing wall 28. After the second assembly step, bottom edges 26 and 26′ align approximately with bottom knot section edges 82 and 82′ respectively.

(28) In a third assembly step, strip assembly 100 is positioned through knot assembly 20, whereby pull ring 112 is positioned in between face 22′ and dividing wall 28 and pulled therefrom to extend from bottom edge 26′. A remaining section of strip 102 folds over face 22′ until first slit 104 aligns with knot section slit 62, and hook fastener 106 fastens onto loop fastener 108 to secure strip assembly 100 around knot assembly 20. Second slit 110 is in position to fastened onto a collar button of a shirt, not seen. First slit 104, aligned with knot section slit 62, are fastened together onto a button below the collar button of a shirt, not seen.

(29) The foregoing description conveys the best understanding of the objectives and advantages of the present invention. Different embodiments may be made of the inventive concept of this invention. It is to be understood that all matter disclosed herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative, and not in a limiting sense.
