BERNARD E. FAY, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
SHOE-LACE-TIE RETAINER.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, BERNARD E. FAY, a
V citizen of the United States, and resident of Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Lace- Tie Retainers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a shoe lace tie retainer; and has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive device of this character which is adapted to both secure the looped portions of a shoe-lace knot and hold them in the desired position inside the shoe upper and also to cover or hide the knot from view and at the same time provide an ornament for the shoe, which is handsome and attractive in appearance.
With these and other objects in View, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the accompanying. drawings.
Figure 1 is a front elevation showing my ornamental shoe lace tie holder or retainerin position on a shoe-upper.
Fig. 2 is an elevation showing the front plate of the holder as removed, its position being illustrated in dotted lines and a portion of the shoe-upper broken away to better show the lacing loops on the inside of the shoe-upper engaged by the gripping arms.
Fig. 3 is a sectional edge view illustrating the general shape of the front plate and the rear gripping arms as retaining the loops of the lacing tie, on the inner side of the shoeupper.
Fig. 4 is a rear view of the device.
Fig. 5 is a front view showing one form and one ornamental design of my improved holder. Referring to the drawings, 10 designates the front plate or member of my improved shoe lace tie holder which may be made of any suitable material and in any suitable form or design to meet the requirements of the different wearers.
On the upper edge 11 of this plate I have connected two arms 12 which extend rearwardly as at 13 for a short distance and then downwardly, these arms being formed of resilient material and are adaptedto extend down inside of the shoe-upper over the loops 14 of the shoe lace. The arms being of suflicient length to extend well into the shoeupper 15 and of suflicient resiliency to en- Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 29, 1919. Serial No. 841,431.
gage and follow the contour of the inner surface thereof.
The portions 16 of the front plate 10 opposite the arms 12 are arranged to extend downwardly for a substantial distance along the front of the upper for the purpose of opposing or resisting the'gripping action of the arms so that the stock of the shoe-upper will be engaged to firmly hold the device between these members to prevent accidental displacement of the same.
It will also be noted that I have raised the upper portion 17 of this front plate above the plane of the lower portion thereof so as to form a recess or pocket 18 for thereception of the knot 19 and loops 14-. of the tie portion of the lacing.
The front plate may be ornamented in any desired way to suit the varying fancies of the different wearers.
The device is extremely simple and inexpensive in construction and by its use the looped portions of a shoe-lacing tie are completely covered or hidden; are held firmly in position and the top edge of the shoe is provided with an ornamentation which is very handsome and attractive in appearance.
The foregoing description is directed solely toward the construction illustrated, but I desire it to be understood that I reserve the privilege of resorting to all the mechanical changes to which the device is susceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the appended claim.
I claim:
A combined shoe ornament and lace tie holder comprising a front plate of a width to hide the lacing knot and curved to conform to the contour of the shoe-upper, said plate having a pair of resilient attaching and gripping arms extending rearwardly from the upper edge thereof to project over the top edge of the shoe and downwardly into engagement with the inner surface thereof, portions of said front plate opposite said arms also extending downwardly for a substantial distance to engage the outer face of the shoe-upper and oppose the gripping action of said arms against the inner surface thereof, the upper portion of said plate being set forwardly from the plane of the lower portion thereof providing space between it and the shoe-upper for the reception of the knotted portion of the lacing tie.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
