Vorzugsweise weist der biegsame Kernfaden des Schnürsenkels einen Durchmesser von 0.4 bis 2 mmm, insbesondere 0.8 bis .1.4 mm, ganz besonders bevorzugt etwa 1 mm auf, um eine ausreichende Steifigkeit und Biegsamkeit des ersten Endbereich s zur temporären Halterung des zweiten Endbereich s zu gewährleisten.The flexible core thread of the shoelace preferably has a diameter of 0.4 to 2 mm, in particular 0.8 to 1.4 mm, very particularly preferably about 1 mm, in order to ensure sufficient rigidity and flexibility of the first end region for temporarily holding the second end region.
Bevorzugt erstreckt sich der biegsame Kernfaden vom Längsende des ersten Endbereiches mit einer Länge I zum zweiten Endbereich hin, um eine optimale Positionierung des ersten Endbereichs gegenüber dem Schuh sicher zu stellen. Insbesondere beträgt die Länge des biegsamen Kernfadens 5 bis 25 cm, vorzugsweise 15 bis 18cm, besonders bevorzugt 5 bis 10 cm. Der erste Endbereich, insbesondere das freie Ende zum Binden ist dadurch in einem im Schuh eingeschnürten Zustand gegenüber dem Schuh festgelegt und durch ein Biegen gegenüber dem Schuh positionierbar.The flexible core thread preferably extends from the longitudinal end of the first end area with a length I to the second end area in order to ensure an optimal positioning of the first end area with respect to the shoe. In particular, the length of the flexible core thread is 5 to 25 cm, preferably 15 to 18 cm, particularly preferably 5 to 10 cm. The first end region, in particular the free end for binding, is thereby fixed in relation to the shoe in a constricted state in the shoe and can be positioned in relation to the shoe by bending.
Zum Schutz der Schnürhülle weist der Schnürsenkel im Bereich der Längsenden des biegsamen Kernfadens jeweils eine auf, um eine Beschädigung der Schnürhülle durch den biegsamen Kernfaden zu vermeiden. Ausserdem stellten die beiden Pinken sicher, dass der biegsame Kernfaden in der Werk-Position gehalten wird, insbesondere vermeiden diese, dass der biegbare Kern innerhalb des Schnürsenkels, insbesondere der Schnürhülle sich in Längsrichtung der Schnürhülle verschiebt. Vorzugsweise bestehen die hülsenförmigen Pinken aus Metall oder Kunststoff oder einem ähnlichen Stoff.To protect the shoelace, the shoelace has one in each case in the region of the longitudinal ends of the flexible core thread in order to avoid damage to the shoelace by the flexible core thread. In addition, the two pinks ensure that the flexible core thread is held in the working position, in particular they prevent the flexible core from shifting within the shoelace, in particular the lace cover, in the longitudinal direction of the lace cover. The sleeve-shaped pinks are preferably made of metal or plastic or a similar material.
Der erste Endbereich weist eine Haltevorrichtung zum temporären Halten des ersten Endbereiches durch den Anwender gegenüber dem Schuh auf. Ist es für den Anwender möglich den ersten Endbereich gegenüber dem Schuh mittels einer Hand einfach und sicher zu positionieren. Ferner ist es für den Anwender eine taktile Hilfe das erste Endbereich ohne Sichtkontakt zu erkennen und mit einer Hand zu fassen, insbesondere temporär gegen dem Schuh zu positionieren und/oder zu halten.The first end region has a holding device for the user to temporarily hold the first end region in relation to the shoe. Is it possible for the user to easily and safely position the first end area opposite the shoe with one hand? Furthermore, it is a tactile aid for the user to recognize the first end area without visual contact and to grasp it with one hand, in particular to position and / or hold it temporarily against the shoe.
Die Haltevorrichtung ist durch einen Kontenpunkt am ersten Endbereich befestigt. Der Knotenpunkt verhindert ein abgleiten des zweiten Endbereichs im verknoteten oder gebunden Zustand auf gegenüber dem ersten Endbereich, insbesondere eine ungewollte Verschiebung des zweiten Endbereichs im verknoteten oder gebunden Zustand in Richtung Längsende des ersten Endbereichs.The holding device is attached to the first end region by a node point. The junction prevents the second end area from sliding off when knotted or tied on compared to the first end area, in particular an unwanted displacement of the second end area in the knotted or tied state in the direction of the longitudinal end of the first end area.
Verfahren zum Schnüren eines Schuhes mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Schnürsenkel weist die folgenden Schritte auf:
- a) temporäres Festlegen des zweiten Endbereich s am ersten Endbereich mittels dem Halteelement (11);
- b) Festkonten des zweiten Endbereich s (2) am ersten Endbereich (1) mit einem Knoten.
- a) temporary fixing of the second end region on the first end region by means of the holding element (11);
- b) Fixed accounts of the second end area (2) at the first end area (1) with a node.
Dadurch dass der zweite Endbereich am ersten Endbereich des Schnürsenkels temporär festlegbar ist, ist es dem Anwender möglich den zweiten Endbereich mittels einem frei wählbaren Knotens an den ersten Endbereich zu binden. Dem Anwender ist es dadurch möglich mit einer Hand die beiden Längsenden in einer gewünschten Position zu einander zu binden, insbesondere zu verknoten und damit den Schuh zu binden und damit an einem Fuss des Anwenders temporär festzulegen. Ausserdem lassen sich die beiden Längsenden mittels einer Hand wieder entknoten, sodass der Anwender den Schuh wieder ausziehen kann.Because the second end area can be temporarily fixed on the first end area of the shoelace, it is possible for the user to tie the second end area to the first end area by means of a freely selectable knot. As a result, it is possible for the user to tie the two longitudinal ends to one another in a desired position with one hand, in particular to knot them and thus tie the shoe and thus temporarily fix it to one of the user's feet. In addition, the two longitudinal ends can be untied again with one hand so that the user can take the shoe off again.
