Benefits of technology

The present invention is a tie that can be easily attached to a shirt by inserting collar stays into openings in the collar. The tie has a central portion with a knot and decorative portion that hangs down the front of the shirt. Extension portions extend from the knot portion with terminal ends, which are connected to collar stays that can rotate around the terminal ends. The technical effect is that this design allows for easy and reversible attachment of a tie to a shirt without the need for a knot or tying.

Problems solved by technology

While a fashionable way to express one's individuality and flair, the tying of neckties can be cumbersome and annoying.
Further, the wearing of neckties can be dangerous in certain circumstances.
For example, users that work around heavy machinery face the real risk of substantial injury should their necktie get caught in the gears or other moving parts of machines.
A necktie caught in machinery can cause strangulation or can pull the wearer's head into the moving parts of the machinery.
Unfortunately, those versed in fashion can easily spot wearers of clip-on ties because the ties lack fabric portions that extend into the wearer's collar.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention disclosed herein relates generally to ties. Particularly the invention relates to a device for the easy donning and fastening of the necktie or bow tie to the shirt of a wearer.BACKGROUND[0002]Neckties including bow ties have been a staple fashion accessory for men for decades as well as a standard part of men's formal business attire. While a fashionable way to express one's individuality and flair, the tying of neckties can be cumbersome and annoying. Considering the sizes of neckties are not standardized, the user may have to re-tie the necktie numerous times in order to achieve proper positioning.[0003]Further, the wearing of neckties can be dangerous in certain circumstances. For example, users that work around heavy machinery face the real risk of substantial injury should their necktie get caught in the gears or other moving parts of machines. Because neckties are often formed from multiple layers of fabric they can be very strong. A ...
