Abstract

A microfiber cloth cut and shaped to match the area of the back end section of a necktie (specifically covering the necktie's “tipping”) that may include multiple layers, attached temporarily to the necktie by a magnet or other mechanism, enabling use of the invention on a necktie without risk of permanent damage or alteration to the necktie. The invention provides the wearer with immediate access to a method of cleaning the surface of any item whose surface is susceptible to accumulating dust, oil or grease.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The invention is in the field of clothing, specifically neckwear and accessories for neckwear.BACKGROUND[0002]The present invention relates to the current methods available for wearers of neckties to utilize their necktie to carry a microfiber cloth for cleaning the surface of any item susceptible to accumulating dust, oil or grease such as the screens of electronic devices, the lenses of eyewear, the lenses of cameras, and the crystals of watches.[0003]The following terms regarding the elements of a conventional necktie are explained for a better understanding of the present disclosure. As commonly worn, a necktie has an outward facing side and an inward facing side. The fabric appearing on the outward facing side of a necktie is often folded with two panels or “blades” being joined together on the inward facing side. Where the necktie has a pointed end, the inward facing pointed area below the blades is referred to as the “tipping” of the necktie.[0004]Prio...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a small microfiber cloth that is designed to be attached to the necktie of a person. It is cut in a specific shape that allows it to fold up and connect to the necktie. The design can have additional layers of microfiber for added functions. The attachment mechanism can be temporary, using magnets, magnetic metal, snaps, alligator clips, or sliding clips. The technical effect of the invention is that it provides a way to easily attach a small cloth to a necktie, allowing it to be worn as a fashion accessory.

Problems solved by technology

The aforementioned examples of prior art devices have the certain limitations which impede their usefulness.

For both permanent and semi-permanent methods the method of carrying the microfiber is non-transferrable among the wearer's neckties.

Both permanent and semi-permanent methods of attachment require the use of either an adhesive or stitching that would irreversibly alter, and risk potentially damaging the necktie if the prior art device were be to removed at a later time.
