Abstract

1. A fastening device of the strap type for a shoe, comprising a first strap system (9, 10) secured to the outer side (7) of the shoe, a second strap system (2) secured to the inner side of the shoe, characterised in that the two systems are interconnected by a metal loop (14), the first of the systems being of conventional type comprising two straps (9, 10), one of the straps (9) being provided adjacent a free end thereof with a buckle (11) including a tongue (12) in which is inserted the free end of the other strap (10) which is provided with apertures (13) for the insertion of the tongue, the metal loop (14) being passed over the first system for connection with the second system which is constituted by a single strap (2) which passes through said metal loop (14) and is folded onto itself, its free end portion being hooked on a lug (4, 5) fixed to the part of the strap (2) of the second system, which part is in contact with the upper system (1).

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Currently used shoe laces have various shortcomings, particularly the following: In the most common shoe lacing devices, the laces wear out quickly and are pulled too hard. They tend to break and are also relatively long to be used effectively; with elastic straps the shoe tends to open up; with leather straps there is only one possibility of adjustment and freedom. Each time you have to thread the string through the buckle, you have to find a place to fit the buckle clasp into the free string hole and make it just the right tightness. In the case of this leather lace device, the lace must be pulled extra to insert the clasp into the lace hole, and the lace returns to its final position after insertion.

The object of the invention is to provide a strap-type fastener that can be adjusted in two places.
The first, permanent adjustment according to the shape of the foot, and the second, which can be properly fastened with an easy and quick movement.
This is due to the adjustment of

Accordingly, the present invention is a belt-type fastener for shoes, which fastener comprises two sets of leather laces, each laterally fixed to the inside and outside of the shoe, and interconnected by a closed metal ring. one of the devices is of the conventional type having two strings,
One of the two strings has a buckle adjacent to its free end, and a plurality of holes provided in the free end of the other string serve as passageways for the clasp; The other lace passes through the metal ring and is connected to another lace device consisting of one lace, one lace of this other lace device passing through the metal ring. To provide a shoe fastener, which is folded up on itself and whose free end is adapted to be hooked on a fixing projection.

Referring to the drawing, two parallel leather straps 2 are
It is fixed laterally to the inner side 1 of the upper part of the shoe. Each lace 2 is in partial contact with the inner part 1 and has a button consisting of a disk 3 cooperating with the lace, a stem 4 projecting from the lace and a round head (this button is a removable collar stud-type button). bouton
tibi). This button is used to pass through a hole 6 formed in the free part of the lace 2.

Two other straps are fixed laterally in parallel to the top of the foot, on the upper outer side 7 of the shoe. Each lace consists of two independent parts 9, 10, the first part 9 being fixed under the upper of the shoe, and the second
The part is fixed above the carapace. strings 9 and 1
The free ends of 0 are connected to each other in a conventional manner by buckles 11. The buckle 11 has a tongue or clasp 12. Also, a buckle 11 is provided at the end of the lower string 9, and a clasp 12 is provided at the end of the lower string 9.
It is used so as to fit into each of a plurality of holes 13 formed in the free end of the .

Each string 9, 10 has a corresponding string 2 and metal ring 14
The metal ring 14 is connected to the string 10 by
The lace 2 passes through the metal ring 14 and is folded over itself so that the free end abuts its fixed part and attaches buttons or studs 4, 5, depending on the tightness desired by the wearer. into one of the holes.

According to this arrangement, when the string 2 is closed,
A first adjustment is made using the laces 9, 10 according to the shape of the foot, and subsequent opening and tightening of the fastener is accomplished by simply inserting and removing the button or stud 5, using only the lace 2; It will be appreciated that the second adjustment is effected simply by selecting which of the plurality of holes 6.

It will be appreciated that instead of these two parallel string fasteners, a single string or more than one string fastener could be used. Furthermore, instead of being fixed to the upper, the lace 10 may be connected directly to the lace 9 under the buckle 11.
