Abstract:
A necktie fastening device including a pair of securing members that are attachable to the severed, central ends of a conventional necktie that has been severed in half with a pair of scissors or the like. Each securing member is formed from a flexible material that has been formed to create a first, second, and third flap member. The first and second flap members each have a quantity of adhesive deposited on areas thereof that face away from one another and which are covered with a flexible removable section of cover material. An elongated flexible pull tab is secured to each removable section. In use, the adhesive is placed in contact with the interior surface of the tie through the severed central end and forms an attachment between the necktie fabric and the securing member with the central lining of the necktie disposed between the first and second flap members. The third flap member includes either a section of hook material from a hook and pile type fastener or a section of pile material from a hook and pile type fastener that is secured to one side thereof. The other side of the third flap may be adapted to display advertising indicia if desired such as the name and location of a store or clothing manufacturer.
