T. w. GROW SHOE LACE TIP Filed Dec: 22, 1925 wow 100 I 6.1km my Patented Sept. 15, 1925.
UNITED STATES TYNDALL W. GROW, OF HOLLISTER, OKLAHOMA.
SHOE-LACE TIP.
Application filed December 22, 1923.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, TYNDALL W. GROW, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hollister, in the county of Tillman and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Shoe-Lace Tlp, of which the following is a specification.
This invention appertains to shoe laces and more particularly to an improved tip therefor.
The primary object of the present invention is the provision of an improved shoe lace tip, so constructed, that the same can be easily applied to a lace and engage the lace in such a manner, that accidental displacement of the tip from the lace is reduced to a minimum.
Another prime object of the invention is the provision of a shoe lace tip embodying a sheet metal body having teeth formed on its longitudinal edges adapted to bite into the lace, the body being formed of bendable material, so that the same can be folded about the lace to firmly clinch or grasp the same.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved shoe lace tip of the above character, which will be durable and efficient in use, one that will be simple and easy to manufacture and one which can be placed upon the market and associated with a shoe lace at a small cost.
Vith these and other objects in View, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts, as will be hereinafter more specifically described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved tip in operative position on a shoe lace.
Figure 2 is a plan View of the tip showing one step in the placing of the tip in position on a lace.
Figure 3 is a transverse section taken on the line 33 of Figure 2.
Figure 4: is a plan view of the blank from which the tip is constructed, and
Figure 5 is a detail section taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 1 showing the arrangement of the tip after the same has been applied to the lace.
Serial No. 682,283.
Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the letter A generally indicates the improved tip and B any preferred type of lace, with which the same can be associated.
The improved tip A comprises a flat sheet metal body 10 ofrectangular configuration having a plurality of saw teeth 11 formed on the longitudinal edges thereof.
In applying the tip to the lace B, the lace B is laid on one face of the body 10, after which the longitudinal edges of the body are bent over and the teeth 11 forced into biting contact with the lace, as indicated by the reference character 12 as shown in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawings.
After the teeth 11 have been embedded into the lace as indicated by the reference character 12, the body 10 is folded on the longitudinal central line as indicated by the reference character 13 so as to bring the opposite teeth 11 into engagement with one another. This forms a substantial tubular casing with the teeth 11 disposed innermost in gripping contact with the lace.
It is obvious that after the lace tip A has been folded as clearly shown in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings, accidental displacement thereof from off of the lace B is practically impossible.
Changes in details may be made without departing from the spirit or the scope of this invention.
What I claim as new is:
As a new article of manufacture, a tip for shoe laces comprising a fiat elongated metal body for engaging one face of a shoe lace, saw teeth formed on the longitudinal edges of the body and extending from one end thereof to the other adapted to be bent over the sides of the lace into intimate biting engagement with the opposite face of the lace from that engaged by the body, the body being adapted to be folded around the lace with the opposite teeth in engagement with one another.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
TYNDALL w. snow.
