shoelace

Abstract

This invention relates to a shoelace, comprising a main body and two tie ends. The main body is elongated and has two opposite ends. The main body includes a core rope and an outer braided layer. The outer braided layer covers the outside of the core rope and is formed by a plurality of cross-woven threads. The outer braided layer forms a plurality of spaced mesh holes, with the core rope exposed through the mesh holes. The two tie ends are located at both ends of the main body and wrap a portion of the main body within them. When the shoelace is tied, the main body overlaps due to crossing through the shoelace holes or knotting. At the overlap, the threads of one section of the outer braided layer will get caught in the mesh holes of the other section, causing them to lock together and increase friction. This makes the shoelace less likely to loosen or shift when swinging or shaking, resulting in high stability.

Claims

1. A shoelace comprising: a body, which is elongated and has two opposite ends, the body including a core cord; and an outer braided layer covering the outside of the core cord, the outer braided layer being formed by cross-weaving a plurality of threads and forming a plurality of spaced mesh openings exposing the core cord; and two tie ends disposed at both ends of the body and wrapping a portion therein.

2. The shoelace as described in claim 1, wherein the maximum width of each mesh opening in the outer braided layer is smaller than the diameter of the end of the lace.

3. The shoelace as claimed in claim 1, wherein the maximum width of each mesh opening in the outer braided layer is greater than the diameter of the lacing head.

4. The shoelace as described in claim 1 or 3, wherein the braid density of the core cord is greater than the braid density of the outer braid layer.

5. The shoelace as described in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the core cord is made of a plurality of threads joined together in a lacquer-like manner to form a textured surface.

6. The shoelace as described in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the core cord is a round cord.

7. The shoelace as described in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the core cord is a flat cord.

8. The shoelace as described in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the core cord is woven together from a plurality of threads, and each of the threads is made of fluorescent material.

9. The shoelace as described in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the core cord has a marking area formed with font or pattern.

10. The shoelace as described in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein each of the threads of the outer braided layer is a transparent thread.
