  which can advantageously link these with each other, with an incorporated label holder, where appropriate

  To our knowledge, there are two devices aimed at achieving the same results.

  States, at least as regards the anti-theft of laces mounted on shoes.

  One encloses the four laces and does not allow the lacing of those

  here during the fitting by the customer. The other, staple type, but adapted if necessary, does not connect the shoes between them and does not include

label door.

  The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages.

  It comprises two staples generally connected together and a label holder. According to a preferred embodiment, each staple is made of a sufficiently flexible material, advantageously a plastic material,

  allowing the desired hinge effect for closing. From and to

  of this intrinsic hinge are the gripping parts of the

  this to immobilize which may be simple pimples or transverse reliefs

  to the device. Each of these two parts has a locking system

  generally arbitrary, but prohibiting the inviolability of the device without

a suitable tool.

  According to a first variant concerning the locking of the staple, one

  parts has a hook whose general appearance is similar to that of a

  water, this part officiating as would a lock bolt.

  The articulated portion, advantageously located in the upper position to avoid hanging the lace during the introduction of the device, comprises the female part of the lock with a recess allowing a relative flexibility facilitating the establishment of the party officiating in as a bolt and a flexible upper "cap" covering the bolt portion and having, like the latter, a boss resulting in a hollow portion at a predetermined point which

  will facilitate the taking of the tool used to release the lace of the device.

  The zone of tightening of the lace is obviously composed of the parts

  tightened on the lace and advantageously comprises streaks which are

  These are used to hold and hold the device on the lace.

  According to a second variant of the device, the lock can be

  suré from a system comparable to a snap made inviolable. The

  lower part of the device becoming the female part and having the o-

  locking piece and the upper part receiving a notched pin, such as a harpoon taking place in the hole of the female part. In this type of embodiment, the bosses and hollow portions making it easier to grip the tool used to release the lace prove to be useless, the simple rupture of the rod

  notched by a suitable tool being sufficient.

  According to a third variant of the device, a connection between two devices

  put on each of the laces of a pair of shoes allows moreover

  to integrate a label holder at the connecting part.

  According to a fourth variant, each device attached to the lace of a shoe may comprise a label holder placed in such a way that the laying of the device is not only not impeded but that the very position of the door

  Figure 1 shows, in enlargement, the device according to the invention.

  FIG. 2 represents the enlarged device closed after the crossing

a lace beyond a carnation.

  FIG. 3 represents the device, still in enlargement, closed

on one of the ends of the lace.

  Figure 4 represents one of the ways to shear off the

  device, according to the invention, with a suitable tool.

  FIG. 5 represents the device in place at the crossing of the lace,

the fourth variant.

  FIG. 6 represents the fourth variant advantageously desired

of the device.

  The device shown in Figure 1 comprises two separate main parts (1) and (2) articulated in (3) according to the intrinsic properties of the material used. A zone of flexibility (4) allows the hammer-shaped piece (5) officiating as a bolt, to return the latter to its initial position during locking. The female part (6) forming a latch in the locking system advantageously comprises a recess (7) in its part

  back-up making it easy to set up and lock by the relative flexibility

  which is thus conferred upon it. Locking in the locking position being

  also partially ensured by the pressure-free contact of the surfaces.

  these (8) and (9). Each of the articulated parts has streaks (10) of

  gripping allowing immobilization of the locked device on the lace.

  At the rear of each of the locking parts is advantageously placed a boss (11) and (12) forming a curved portion (13) and (14) which allows guiding and facilitates the use of the tool, by shearing to remove the device after the sale of the pair of shoes. It should be noted that a "cap" (15) flexible can advantageously cover the bolt, and in addition its optional adoption avoids the insertion of an object to proceed to the theft of the laces by unlocking. In addition this "cap" facilitates the establishment of the device for increasing the area of the area on

  which will exert the pressure to provide for the locking.

  The device shown in FIG. 2 is locked on a crossroads

  of the lace of which we see, in section, the two sections (16) and (17) super-

  posed. This figure, like the following, highlights the function of each of the components of the device, both with regard to locking and fixing on the lace or the role of the bosses (11) and (12) clearing the curved parts ( 13) and (14) facilitating the use of the shirring tool. The device shown in Figure 3 is logically placed near the ferret of one end of the lace (18). In anticipation of this type of implementation

  possible, secondary striations (19) can be advantageously

  the shape and location of the streaks, whether primary or secondary

  they are important only because of their effectiveness.

  The device shown in Figure 4 demonstrates the usefulness of the curved portions (13) and (14) for guiding the cutting edges (20) of the tool used.

to remove the device.

  The device shown in Figure 5 is mounted at the crossing of the lace after the first two eyelets of the shoe. This guy is hanging up from

  Lace should be the most frequently encountered in supermarkets. The provision

  shown has a label holder (21) which does not affect the effi-

  anti-theft capability as well as product presentation; In the embodiment according to FIG. 6, it comprises two

  basic devices (22) and (23) connected together advantageously by a connection

  performed by inserting a wire.

  It should be noted that in all cases the implementation of the device can

  be carried out manually or by means of a suitable apparatus.

  The device according to the invention is more particularly intended for use in

  tivol laces mounted on shoes sold in supermarkets and at all

  type of cord offered for sale in general, as long as a

cage in position is possible.
