Definitions
- Garments typically fastened with laces have inherent drawbacks. To achieve the proper fit, one must properly tighten laces every time the garment is worn. A typical running shoe takes between 30 seconds and a minute to properly lace up, and 15 seconds to remove. If the shoe is not properly laced, it loses its benefits to the user. The user has to achieve optimal fit every time the garment is put on, and the fit can never be uniform. For children, overweight adults, people with arthritis and the elderly, tying one's shoes is a difficult task.
- Figure 5 is a perspective with a side detail of the embodiment of Figure 4 with customizations.
- Figure 3 is yet another embodiment with plate articulation 30 comprising a flexible member, and retaining element comprising teeth 44 and grooves 45.
