Accessories for shoes {SHOES ACCESSORY}

The present invention relates to accessories for shoes, and more particularly, it is possible to simply and neatly tie the shoe laces of the shoes with a ribbon knot and prevent them from being easily untied, and in addition to directing shoes of various colors and shapes, it is possible to freely express personal taste. A new product that has secured product competitiveness through the addition of functional elements, breaking away from the limitation of functioning only as a simple accessory by providing design elements that are unique and having functions such as deodorization, light emission, sound, location tracking, and step count measurement. It relates to accessories for shoes that can provide.

Without shoes, people would not have been able to navigate the hot desert sands, the cold snow fields, and the rough thorns and gravel fields. For the ancients, it can be said that shoes were the first practical means of transportation. It is difficult to imagine our modern life without shoes.

Modern footwear is used not only as a means of transportation, but also as an important factor to add functional and aesthetic aesthetics in various fields such as sports, leisure, and fashion. The importance of shoelaces to prevent them from falling apart is increasing.

These shoelaces are coupled to shoes in various forms and are usually knotted in the form of a ribbon, so that the user's feet do not come off easily, and in particular, it is possible to increase the wearing comfort when walking or jogging.

And, after passing the shoelace through a plurality of holes formed in the shoe in a zigzag method, the shoelace is finally fixed by forming a knot, for example, a ribot-type knot at the upper end of the shoe.

In addition, there is a problem in that the knot of the shoelace is loosened or loosened during the activity of wearing the shoes, thereby interfering with the activity of the wearer.

In addition, it is not easy to form a knot in the prior art, especially for children. Moreover, in order to put on the shoes again, it is often necessary to untie the knot and form a knot again after putting on the shoes, which is inconvenient.

In order to improve the shoe tightening structure using such a conventional knot, a device called "LOCK LACES" has been devised and marketed (www.locklaces.com).

1 is a view showing an embodiment of a conventional shoe tightening structure. As shown in FIG. 1 , the lace device 200 is attached to the shoe using a shoelace 1 having better elasticity instead of a conventional shoelace. After passing through the formed hole in a zigzag manner, both sides of the shoelace are passed through the cord lock 210 (cordlock), and cut leaving an appropriate length, for example, 2 to 3 inches, and then both ends are inside the clip 220 It is configured to close by putting it in and closing it. The code lock 210 includes a plate 211 having a hole through which the shoelace 1 passes, a case 212 for accommodating the plate, and a spring disposed inside the case 212 to elastically bias the plate upward. (not shown) is included. When the upper part of the plate 211 is pressed downward, the plate moves downward, so that the shoelace 1 can pass through the hole in the plate. ) and the plate 211 is pressed by a spring (not shown), thereby fixing the position of the shoelace without movement.

However, even in the above-described lace device 200, when walking or running for a long time, the shoelace 1 moves without being fixed to the cord lock 210, and eventually the shoelace 1 becomes loose. Therefore, the user tightens the shoelace again, or inserts the shoelace part between the cord lock 210 and the clip 220 in another way (for example, the shoelace part is inserted between the shoelaces bound in a zigzag manner). had to be fixed. In addition, the shoelace portion between the cord lock 210 and the clip 220 is generally not fixed, so when walking or running, it moves up and down, left and right, etc. It causes discomfort in activities such as jogging or jogging.

In addition, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0833682 discloses a device for binding shoelaces, but has a complicated structure, which is expensive and has poor durability.

In addition, since the conventional shoelace fastening device or shoelace binding device is limited only to the function of simply tightening or binding the shoelace, research and development on the extension of the function is required.
