Tie with Permanent Knot Having Attachment Mechanism Formed Therein and Related Methods

Abstract

A tie has a narrow end and a broad end with a length and a midsection portion along the length with a knot formed in the midsection portion of the tie. The knot forms a first length portion extending from the knot to the broad end of the tie and a second length portion extending from the knot to the narrow end of the tie. The midsection portion of the tie forms the knot and is transverse to the first length portion of the tie. An attachment is provided for securing the second length portion of the tie to the knot. The attachment is wrapped in the knot with the transversely extending midsection portion of the tie substantially covering over the attachment. The attachment has a tubular portion dimensioned to receive the second length portion of the tie therethrough. A method of forming and using the same is disclosed.

1 . A tie having a narrow end and a broad end with a length extending therebetween, the tie having a midsection portion along the length with a knot formed in the midsection portion of the tie, the knot in the midsection portion of the tie forming a first length portion extending from the knot to the broad end of the tie and a second length portion extending from the knot to the narrow end of the tie, the midsection portion of the tie forming the knot being transverse to the first length portion of the tie; and
 an attachment for securing the second length portion of the tie to the knot, the attachment being included in the knot with the transversely extending midsection portion of the tie substantially covering over the attachment, the attachment having a tubular portion dimensioned to receive the second length portion of the tie therethrough thereby allowing the user to grasp the narrow end of the tie and snug the knot up against the user's collar when wearing the tie.   
     
     
         2 . The tie of  claim 1  further comprising a guide removably attachable to the narrow end of the tie, the guide being dimensioned to pass through the tubular member interior hollow interior thereby enabling the user to thread the tie through the tubular member interior. 
     
     
         3 . The tie of  claim 1 , wherein the tubular member has a smooth interior. 
     
     
         4 . The tie of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment is permanently affixed to the knot of the tie. 
     
     
         5 . The tie of  claim 4 , wherein the lug is permanently affixed to the knot of the tie. 
     
     
         6 . The tie of  claim 1 , wherein the knot simulates a conventional knot in a tie. 
     
     
         7 . The tie of  claim 1 , wherein the midsection portion of the tie is wrapped around the attachment. 
     
     
         8 . A method comprising:
 forming a tie having a narrow end and a broad end with a length extending therebetween, the tie having a midsection portion along the length;   forming a knot in the midsection portion of the tie such that the knot in the midsection portion of the tie forms a first length portion extending from the knot to the broad end of the tie and a second length portion extending from the knot to the narrow end of the tie, the midsection portion of the tie forming the knot being transverse to the first length portion of the tie; and   wrapping an attachment in the knot with the transversely extending midsection portion of the tie substantially covering over the attachment, the attachment having a tubular portion dimensioned to receive the second length portion of the tie therethrough thereby allowing the user to grasp the narrow end of the tie and snug the knot up against the user's collar when wearing the tie.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  further comprising:
 attaching a guide dimensioned to pass through the tubular member interior hollow to the narrow end of the tie. 
 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising directing the guide through the tubular member interior hollow interior thereby threading the tie through the tubular member interior. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the attachment is permanently affixed to the knot of the tie. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the lug is permanently affixed to the knot of the tie. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the knot simulate a conventional knot in a tie. 
     
     
         14 . A method comprising:
 forming a tie having a narrow end and a broad end with a length extending therebetween, the tie having a midsection portion along the length;   forming a knot in the midsection portion of the tie such that the knot in the midsection portion of the tie forms a first length portion extending from the knot to the broad end of the tie and a second length portion extending from the knot to the narrow end of the tie, the midsection portion of the tie forming the knot being transverse to the first length portion of the tie; and   inserting an attachment in the knot with the transversely extending midsection portion of the tie substantially covering over the attachment, the attachment having a tubular portion dimensioned to receive the second length portion of the tie therethrough thereby allowing the user to grasp the narrow end of the tie and snug the knot up against the user's collar when wearing the tie.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising:
 attaching a guide dimensioned to pass through the tubular member interior hollow to the narrow end of the tie. 
 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising directing the guide through the tubular member interior hollow interior thereby threading the tie through the tubular member interior. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the attachment is permanently affixed to the knot of the tie. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the lug is permanently affixed to the knot of the tie. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the knot simulate a conventional knot in a tie.
