Description
SHOE LACE BOW TIE HOLDER Filed July 2, 1953 INVENT OR ATTORNEYS United States Patent SHOE LACE BOW TIE HOLDER Gennaro Civitelli, Hamden, Conn.
Application July 2, 1953, Serial No. 365,575
2 Claims. (Cl. 24-119) This invention relates to a shoe lace bow tie holder.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a shoe lace bow tie holder formed of flexible and resilient material and having openings in the top and ends thereof adapted to receive the ends of the shoe lace and adapted to confine the bow tie knot whereby the same will be kept from becoming untied.
It is another object of the invention to provide a shoe lace bow tie holder which is of resilient material which can be shaped to give an ornamental appearance and at the same time serves to provide the function of retaining the bow knot tied and sealed within the same.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a shoe lace bow tie holder, which is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, has a single part, of pleasing appearance, light in weight, eificient in use and easy to operate.
For a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the shoe lace bow tie holder embodying the features of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is an end elevational view of the holder;
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the holder.
Referring now to the figures, represents the single block holder embodying the features of the present invention. This block is preferably made of resilient hard rubber material of the proper resiliency to give an effective grip upon the shoe lace ends and upon the bow knot.
Extending from end to end in the block is a central hole 11. Above this hole and running lengthwise of the block is a split 12 which can be separated due to the resiliency of the material and through which the ends of the shoe string are forced so that they can occupy the space in the central hole 11. Running down from the top of the block, as viewed in Fig. 3, is another hole 13 which extends at right angles to the axis of the hole 11. Through this hole 13 the bow can be passed.
The first operation is to pass the end of at least one of the ends of the shoe lace through the slit 12 up to the opening 11 and then proceed to tie the other end of the shoe lace to the one end of the shoe lace so that a bow knot is formed. The other end of the shoe lace can then be passed through the slit 12 at the opposite side of the hole 13 and the knot forced downwardly through the hole 13 into the central hole 11.
In the opposite sides of the slit 12 and at the opposite ends of the hole 11 and as viewed in Fig. 2 are end recesses 14 and 15 into which portions of the bow knot can be extended so that the bow can be feathered and spread externally of the ends of the holder. The bow knot itself passes downwardly through the hole 13 into the elongated hole 11 and the ends of the bow knot which are free will be permitted to spread due to the end recesses 14 and 15 disposed above and at the ends of the through hole 11.
In order to facilitate the passage of the ends of the shoe laces into the slit 12, the sides of the slit on the front face are chamfered or bevelled as indicated at 16.
It will be apparent that this block can be made of any desired shape or configuration and decorated as desired to have a pleasing elfect. The block can have the appearance of a clown face, if desired, showing the biting upon a bow with the laces extending through the holes in the ears. Since this is but one form which the block may take, a representative showing of such a different shape when other shapes could be used, should not be necessary as theprincipal openings and slits in the block would be generally the same.
While but one form of the invention has been shown and described herein, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that many minor modifications may be made Without departing from the spirit. of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. A shoe lace bow tie holder comprising a block of resilient material having front and end portions, said block having a slit through the surface of its front portion extending from one end to the opposite end and being of a depth to extend inwardly substantially to the center of the block, the resilience of the material tending to hold the slit closed, there being a hole extending entirely through the block at the bottom of said slit with which the slit communicates at its lower end, the axis of said hole being in the plane of the slit, and. there being a second hole in the front of the block at substantially the center of the slit, said second hole extending inwardly to and communicating with said first hole but terminating thereat and having its axis transverse to that of the second hole and providing an opening into the first hole when the slit is closed.
2. A shoe lace bow tie holder as described in claim 1 wherein the end portions of the block are provided with recesses overlying the ends of the first hole and communicating with said hole.
