MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521129558 A) filed by Rajarambapu Institute Of Technology, Sangli, Maharashtra, on Dec. 20, 2025, for 'smart automated tie-knotting device with fabric-adaptive torque, self-ironing finish, and user-customizable knot styles.'
Inventor(s) include Samyak Prasad Sankpal; Indira Prashant Bhosale; Sahibsingh Ravindarsingh Gaud; Prof. Juber Mohamad Shaphi Mulla; Dr. Shailesh Suresh Shirguppikar; and Dr. Vaibhav S. Ganachari.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention describes an adaptive automated apparatus for forming and finishing necktie knots is disclosed. A microcontroller executes parameterized knotting programs for Windsor, Half-Windsor, Four-in-Hand, and designer variants while a fabric-sensing subsystem (optical and tensile) characterizes thickness, texture, friction, and compliance. Closed-loop control modulates torque, velocity, and tension to maintain a predefined geometry envelope and prevent over-tightening or puckering across silk, cotton, polyester, and blends. Upon attainment of geometric setpoints, a micro-press thermal-compression stage applies material-appropriate heat and dwell to consolidate layers and deliver a crisp, professional finish. User preferences-compactness, blade length, and dimple depth-are stored as profiles; wireless connectivity enables profile synchronization, firmware updates, and library expansion. A minimal interface supports single-touch operation and voice initiation for accessibility. Compact, battery/USB power and integrated safety and fault-recovery logic suit personal use and unattended deployment in hotels, airport lounges, and grooming kiosks."
