| Abstract: |
A tie locating device having a notched groove at one end for referencing the narrow end of the tie, and a sliding scale extending from the other end of the device having thereon a series of references, which, when the slide is extended, provide a plurality of selected reference marks from which one would be selected and used to align the wide end of the tie, thereby determining the length position of the tie ends for correct tying.

First Claim:
Show all 4 claims |
Having thus disclosed my invention, what is claimed is:
1. A necktie tying aid comprising:
- first and second elongated members, said members being slidably attached and relatively movable along a longitudinal path;
- a reference notch adjacent to one end of said first member for receiving and referencing the narrow width end of a tie when positioned around the neck of the user;
- adjustable stop means for interacting between said first and second members for setting said aid to a selected overall length; and
- index means by which the length of the wide end of the tie is referenceable, and comprising a plurality of adjacent, individually coded, reference areas extending longitudinally along said second member;
- whereby, for a selected overall extended length of said aid, a tie would be tied by first placing it around one's neck at an approximate hanging position, placing the narrow end at said reference notch on said first member, extending said second member to a preset stop position, adjusting the tie position until the wide end of the tie is positioned on a selected reference mark on said second member, and tying a tie knot between the hanging lengths of the tie.
