Lace Structure

Abstract

A lace structure includes a plurality of weaving threads and a plurality of resilient threads which are interlaced in a lengthwise direction to form an elongate lace which defines a plurality of first sections and a plurality of second sections arranged in an alternating manner. Each of the second sections of the lace has a weaving density greater than and a width smaller than that of each of the first sections. In such a manner, each of the first sections of the lace has a wide face with a low density, and each of the second sections of the lace has a narrow face with a high density. Thus, each of the first sections of the lace has an elasticity greater than that of each of the second sections, so that the lace has a stepwise elastic function.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to a lace and, more particularly, to a lace structure for shoes.2. Description of the Related Art[0002]A lace is available for shoes to form a knot on the shoes so as to provide a fastening effect to the shoes. However, the conventional lace has a constant length and does not have enough resilience so that the conventional lace cannot fit the shoes of different sizes, thereby decreasing the versatility of the conventional lace. Thus, when the lace is too long after being knotted, the residual part of the lace extends to an excessive extent and affects the appearance of the shoes, thereby decreasing the aesthetic quality of the shoes, and causing an uncomfortable sensation to the user. In addition, the residual part of the lace is too long and is easily stepped by the user or other person, so that the knotted portion of the lace easily becomes loosened. Further, the residual part of the lace easil...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a lace with unique properties. The lace has elastic sections that change in width when extended, which limits the maximum length of the lace and prevents it from breaking. The lace is also designed to knot closely and tightly, with the second sections of the lace acting as a binding point. The second sections have loose zones that prevent the lace from slipping and becoming loose. Additionally, the lace can be woven with different colored threads, enhancing its appearance. Overall, the present invention provides a strong and durable lace with improved elasticity and appearance.

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional lace has a constant length and does not have enough resilience so that the conventional lace cannot fit the shoes of different sizes, thereby decreasing the versatility of the conventional lace.

Thus, when the lace is too long after being knotted, the residual part of the lace extends to an excessive extent and affects the appearance of the shoes, thereby decreasing the aesthetic quality of the shoes, and causing an uncomfortable sensation to the user.

In addition, the residual part of the lace is too long and is easily stepped by the user or other person, so that the knotted portion of the lace easily becomes loosened.

Further, the residual part of the lace easily interferes with the user's movement, so that the user easily falls down and gets hurt.

Further, when the residual part of the lace depends on the ground, the lace is easily contaminated and worn out due to frequent rubbing.

Further, when the user is riding a bicycle, the residual part of the lace is easily tangled with the chain of the bicycle, thereby causing danger to the user.
