Abstract
An improved shoelace structure is made up of a belt-like shoelace having two narrowed leading ends bound at both ends thereon to be led through buttonholes of a shoe body thereby wherein between both narrowed leading ends thereof are disposed a tying section to be tied up at the upper surface of the shoe body thereof and a passage section to be wound through the buttonholes of the shoe body thereby. Both the tying section and the passage section are integrally woven to form a plurality of bulge parts and narrowed parts that are alternatively arranged with each adjacent to others in a sequence. The bulge parts of the tying section and the passage section thereof can be made into a wide flatness or a protruded arc shape thereof, and the narrowed parts thereof can be formed into a straight flatness or a round straight column thereof. Thus, the tying section and the passage section of the shoe body are contacted with a tying spot and the buttonholes respectively by the narrowed parts thereof and retained in place by the bulge parts limiting at both adjacent sides of the narrowed parts thereof so as to efficiently prevent the shoelace from getting loose and detached in practical use.
Description
- The present invention is related to an improved shoelace structure made up of a belt-like shoelace having two narrowed leading ends bound at both ends thereon to be led through buttonholes of a shoe body thereby wherein between both narrowed leading ends thereof are disposed a tying section to be tied up at the upper surface of the shoe body thereof and a passage section to be wound through the buttonholes of the shoe body thereby. Both the tying section and the passage section are integrally woven to form a plurality of bulge parts and narrowed parts that alternatively arranged in a sequence; whereby, the tying section and the passage section of the shoe body are respectively contacted with a tying spot and the buttonholes by the narrowed parts thereof and retained in place by the bulge parts thereof, efficiently preventing the shoelace from getting loose and detached in practical use.
- Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 2 inclusive. A
conventional shoelace 10 includes a tying section 11 disposed at both ends respectively to be tied up at the top surface of ashoe body 20 thereby wherein a plurality of narrowed parts 111 of smaller diameter are integrally woven and alternatively arranged at the tying section 11 thereon to retain theshoelace 10 tied up into a bow after led throughbuttonholes 21 of theshoe body 20. Yet, theshoelace 10 is only partially stopped by the narrowed parts 111 at the tying section 11 thereof without being located at thebuttonholes 21 of theshoe body 20. Thus, either in the passage of theshoelace 10 or in an active movement of a wearer like running or jumping, theshoelace 10 led through thebuttonholes 21 thereof tends to slip off and get loose easily, which can't efficiently prevent theshoelace 10 from getting detached in practical use. - It is, therefore, the primary purpose of the present invention to provide an improved shoelace structure wherein a belt-like shoelace is provided with a tying section and a passage section disposed between two narrowed leading ends bound at both ends thereon. Both the tying section and the passage section are integrally woven to form a plurality of bulge parts and narrowed parts that are alternatively arranged in a sequence; whereby, the tying section and the passage section of the shoe body are contacted with a tying spot and the buttonholes respectively by the narrowed parts thereof and retained in place by the bulge parts thereof, efficiently preventing the shoelace from getting loose and detached in practical use.

FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded view of a conventional shoelace structure. -
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the conventional shoelace getting loose at buttonholes of a shoe body. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective exploded view of the present invention. -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the present invention in practical use. -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the present invention. - Please refer to FIGS. 3 to 4 inclusive. The present invention is related to an improved shoelace structure, made up of a belt-
like shoelace 30 having two narrowed leadingends 31 bound at both ends thereon to be led throughbuttonholes 21 of ashoe body 20 thereby. Between both narrowed leadingends 31 thereof are disposed atying section 32 to be tied up at the upper surface of theshoe body 20 thereof, and apassage section 33 to be wound through thebuttonholes 21 of theshoe body 20 thereby. Both thetying section 32 and thepassage section 33 are integrally woven to form a plurality ofbulge parts parts bulge parts FIG. 5 , and the narrowedparts FIG. 5 . In practical use, thetying section 32 and thepassage section 33 of theshoe body 30 are respectively contacted with a tying spot A and thebuttonholes 21 thereof by the narrowedparts bulge parts parts shoelace 30 is precisely tied up and located at thebuttonholes 21 of theshoe body 20 and the typing spot A near a shoe opening 22, efficiently preventing theshoelace 30 from getting loose and detached easily in practical use.
Claims (3)
1. An improved shoelace structure made up of a belt-like shoelace having two narrowed leading ends bound at both ends thereon to be led through buttonholes of a shoe body thereby wherein between both narrowed leading ends thereof are disposed a tying section to be tied up at the upper surface of the shoe body thereof and a passage section to be wound through the buttonholes of the shoe body thereby; the present invention being characterized by that,
both the tying section and the passage section are integrally woven to form a plurality of bulge parts and narrowed parts that are alternatively arranged with each adjacent to others in a sequence, permitting the tying section and the passage section of the shoe body contacting with a tying spot and the buttonholes respectively by the narrowed parts thereof and retained in place by the bulge parts limiting at both adjacent sides of the narrowed parts thereof so as to efficiently prevent the shoelace from getting loose and detached in practical use.
2. The shoelace structure as claimed in claim 1 wherein the bulge parts of the tying section and the passage section thereof respectively can be made into a wide flatness or a protruded arc shape thereof.
3. The shoelace structure as claimed in claim 1 wherein the narrowed parts of the tying section and the passage section thereof respectively can be formed into a straight flatness or a round straight column thereof.
