Abstract
Abstract An attachable protective napkin for a man''s tie which may be readily fastened so as to protect the tie when being worn while eating from the splatter of food or other liquids. The device is a shaped section of laminated absorbent and waterproof paper or plastic sheeting. One end of the tie napkin is triangular shaped, so as to tuck about the tie and under the collar of the wearer, with the napkin shaped to the general outline of a man''s tie and of slightly larger dimension and fitted with flexible semi-rigid tie members that bend about the protected tie so as to retain the napkin in position.
