Necktie with a flat flashlight concealed therein

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now more specifically to FIG.
1, therein is disclosed a person 10 shown wearing a necktie that is generally designated by the reference numeral 12 and that embodies the present invention.
The necktie 12 is adapted to be tied around a neck 14 of the person 10 in the manner generally known and extends to a front distal end portion 16.
The necktie 10 is formed from an outer or front ply 18 of material and an inner or rear ply 20 of material that are shaped into an elongated flattened tubular configuration.
As is shown in FIGS.
1 and 2, a pocket or holding area 22 is formed adjacent the distal end portion 16 between the front ply 18 and the rear ply 20 by stitching the ends of the rear ply 20 to the front ply 18 of the necktie 12 at areas 24 and 26.
An opening 28 is formed at the distal end of the pocket 22.
A relatively flat flashlight 30 is adapted to be disposed in the pocket 22 with a light emitting portion 32 of the flashlight 30 being disposed within the opening 28 so that light emitted from the flashlight 30 will illuminate the area beyond the pocket 22 and a distal end 34 of the necktie 12.
The necktie 12 can be formed of any appropriate fabric or textile material.
The material is formed into a generally flat tubular configuration by stitching the rear ply 20 of the necktie 12 along a center line 36.
As a result, the front ply 18 of the necktie 12 has no visible seam or the like.
As illustrated in FIGS.
1 and 2, the distal end 34 of the necktie 12 is tapered inwardly so as to be formed into a point, but alternatively, the distal end 34 can be of any appropriate shape such as being flat across the width of the necktie 12.
A fabric lining (not shown) may be placed within the tubular body portion of the necktie 12 between the outer ply 18 and the inner ply 20.
The flashlight 30 is adapted to be concealed within the pocket 22 of the necktie 12.
The pocket 22 can be formed by stitching the rear ply 20 to the outer ply 18 at the areas 24 and 26 either after the flashlight 30 has been disposed within the tubular body of the necktie 12 as is illustrated in FIGS
