The invention relates to a napkin holder made of metal or plastic, consisting of two in one middle bearing point pivoted and spring-loaded clamp halves.

There are different ways of protecting the cloth or paper napkin from the tie and to attach to the suit to catch drops and falling food particles. Most of time you put the napkin with one of its corners between the neck and collar or under the lapel of the suit. The disadvantage here is that the napkin falls off with the slightest movement.

A resilient napkin holder that can be placed around the neck is also known, in which one of an endless A wire loop of a curved bracket, the sickle-shaped legs of which cross each other when not in use, but when in use, lay down springy next to each other, holding the napkin.

Another known design is that the napkin holder consists of a clip, wherein the clip consists of a double bent, touching from the free end parts and is formed into extremely deflected, resilient strips.

These known holders have the disadvantage that they are either cumbersome and time-consuming to install or are very noticeable.

The object of the invention is to provide an easy-to-use, inconspicuous and firm napkin to create holding holder. This object is achieved in that in the case of the initially described Holder, the legs of the clamp halves lying on one side of the bearing point are bent in a semicircle and the two curves when caused by the spring pressure abut their free ones The ends enclose a circle about the size of a tie knot and that these Legs in the immediate connection to the bearing point from the outside inwardly directed indentations have and that the two other legs at their outer ends each become one Tip are beveled towards such that when these legs are pressed together, the bevels lie against each other and the tips of the legs form a cutting edge. To the holder on the shirt button To be able to attach, the haibranden legs can be middle, preferably at their free ends Have semicircular notches.

F i g. 3 in plan in the direction of "^ 4" according to FIG. 1,

F i g. 5 in an oblique view, on two fingers and with the napkin, in

F i g. 6 in a schematic representation with a napkin in use.

The serviette holder consisting of two clamp halves has on one side of the bearing point 3 the semicircular bent legs 1, la , which form a circle about the size of a tie knot by virtue of their free ends resting against one another by means of spring pressure of the spring 4. In use, these halves enclose the tie knot as a circular ring and thus hold the napkin holder in place.

Furthermore, these legs 1, 1 a directly adjoining the bearing 3 from the outside inwardly directed indentations 2, 2 a, the insides of which lie on top of one another in the rest and use position of the holder by spring pressure of the spring 4 as a limitation for the semicircular bent legs .

The semi-circular leg 1,1a have, at their free ends to the middle, preferably semi-circular notches 7.7 a.

The two other, outer legs 5.5 a are beveled at their outer ends 6.6 a each to a point so that when these legs 5.5 a are pressed together, the bevels lie against one another and the leg tips form a cutting edge.

The handling of the napkin holder is easy. With the thumb and forefinger of the right hand, the outer legs 5.5 a are joined together.

Claims (2)

1 presses so that two fingers of the left hand can be guided into the opened bent legs 1,1a of the clamp halves (see Fig. 5), which then pull the bent legs 1,1a apart until the legs 5, Sa touch each other and form an edge. Now the seraette 8 is guided with a slot or, in the case of paper napkins, with a puncture point over the cutting edge as far as the indentations 2, 2a. Now the two outer legs 5, S a are pressed together with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand and the opened curved legs 1,1a of the clamp halves are passed over the tie knot and possibly over the button of the shirt. By closing the halves, the holder is then attached to the tie or shirt. The removal of the holder with the napkin is done in such a way that the ao outer legs 5, S a are pressed together with the thumb and forefinger of the right or left hand, so that the curved, semicircular legs 1,1a open, with the The holder with the napkin is lifted off the tie knot or shirt button. The serviette is then pulled off the holder, the curved, semicircular legs 1,1a being held open with two fingers of the other hand and the outer legs 5, 5α being compressed to form a cutting edge. The napkin can be reinforced at the piercing point by bending over a napkin corner beforehand. If the two legs 5, 5 a of the holder 954 are not to be visible, but rather hidden, the cutting edge is only guided through the bent corner of the napkin facing the user. Patent claims: 1. Napkin holder made of metal or plastic, consisting of two clamp halves pivotally mounted in a central bearing point and under spring pressure, characterized in that the legs (1, la) of the clamp halves are bent semicircularly on one side of the bearing point (3) and the two roundings when caused by the spring pressure abut their free ends enclose a circle about the size of a tie knot and that these legs in the immediate connection to the bearing point (3) from the outside inwardly directed indentations (2.2 a) and that the the two other legs (5, 5 a) are beveled at their outer ends (6, 6 a) towards a point in such a way that when these legs are pressed together, the bevels lie against one another and the leg tips form a cutting edge. 2. Holder according to claim 1, characterized in that the semicircular legs (1, la) have central, preferably semicircular notches (7) at their free ends. Considered publications:
