Moreover the stifl ness of the fastening button for the most' part makes such a fastening device useless.

'The object of the present invention is to prostrap shoe, in which duoe an adjusting device in a the fastening button,-slmilarly to'a button that is stitched on, can be adjusted so as to move in all directions in a longitudinally slotted eyelet, The latter is provided with transverse, semi-circular pressed out portions, which serve to fix the button in the desi-red position, and thus give the adjusting device suclr a flat structure that by 10- eating the same tinguished from an ordinary shoe.

The subject matter of the invention is illustrated .in the accompanying drawing. Figure 1 showing the eyelet part section, V j

Figure 2 a plan view of the eyelet part, Figure 3 the fastening button, I

Figure 4 an .unfastened strap with fastening button and eyelet part, Figure 5 a closed fastening device,

Figure 6 a longitudinal section along the 6-6 of-Fig.5. In Fig. 1 a is an eyelet consisting of sheet metal, celluloid or the like material, which, as'is clear from Fig. 2, has anarrow longitudinal slot b. This slot b has at regular intervals several widened aperturesd. At each of these apertures d the eyelet-plate a groove. On the underside pfthe eyelet plate a leaf spring e is secured at] so as tobear firmly against a. This eyelet plate a is stitched into between the upper and the lining I the strap shoe provided therewith cannot be disin longitudinal line is pressed up to form a the shoe leather, as shown by Figs. 4, 5 and 6. At the end of the strap i is provided-as usual the fastening button consisting of a semi-circular shoe button. This button g according to the present invention has a loosely movable cross bar it made of circular wire, which is hooked into the individual eyelet holes d. The eyelet in; which the cross harm of the fastening button is inserted; The upper has a narrow slot k corresponding to the slot'in the eyelet plate.

The device operatesas fol1ows:--,

' In fastening the button the cross bar h of the button 9 is turned in the longitudinal direction parallel to the slot b in the eyelet part a and inserted therein. In this position the button can be displaced in the slot b. When the strap has been adjusted to the .desired length, by crossh at one of the widened turning the cross bar apertures d in the eyelet part, the button is held in this position. 1 In the first place because the bridge piece m is wider in the transverse position than the slot b in the eyelet part a and secondly because the cross bar It is pressed through the agency of the leaf spring e into one of the groove-like depressions c, the fastening device is flat in form, so'that when the sameis stitched between the upperand lining of the shoe, .the

without adjusting device.

I claim: I An'adjustabie fastening for strap shoes comsame cannot be distinguished from a strap shoe holes (I have transverse pressed out portions 0,

I prising a plate intended to be stitched between the upper and the lining of the shoe, and having a longitudinal .slot, recesses located atintervals in the said slot for receiving a button secured to the oppositely disposed-edge of thes'noe, transverse pressed out portions on both sides of the said recesses for the purpose of allowing the wellknown cross link with horizontal arms of the but- -ton to be inserted into the said pressed out por-- .tions, as set forth.
