Polygonal tipped shoelace
a polygonal, shoelace technology, applied in the field of shoelaces, can solve the problems of easy falling off of the tips when pulled or washed, more expensive and less popular, and the method of attaching metal or plastic sleeves to the shoelace tips is more complex, so as to improve the failures and lack of unique sense or design

Benefits of technology
"The present invention provides a polygonal tipped shoelace that improves the failings of traditional shoelace tips, such as inflexible forms and lack of a unique design. The polygonal tips are pressed by molds into desired shapes, such as triangles, rhombuses, trapezoids, astroid shapes, and others. The polygonal tips can also have pictures, fluorescent material, or other materials printed or smeared on them to improve their design. The polygonal tips provide a larger contacting area between the shoelace and the plastic film, making them more durable and less prone to falling off easily."
Problems solved by technology
The method of attaching metal or plastic sleeves to the shoelace tips is more complex because to attach the sleeves to the shoelace tips requires more than at least two processes.
Therefore, it is more expensive and less popular.
However, these tips easily fall off when pulled or washed because no enough area and coupling strength of the cylinder structure of the shoelace are provided.
Therefore, it is quite inconvenient.

Embodiment Construction
[0022] Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.
[0023] While the specification concludes with claims defining the features of the invention that are regarded as novel, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from a consideration of the following description in conjunction with the figures, in which like reference numerals are carried forward.
[0024] Reference is made to FIG. 1, which illustrates a polygonal tipped shoelace of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. A polygonal tipped shoelace 100 includes a main body 110, a tipped terminal 120 located in each terminal of the main body 110, the tipped terminal 120 is covered with plastic film and pressed into specific shape by mold, and forms a polygonal tip 130.

A polygonal tipped shoelace comprises at least a shoelace and a polygonal tip. Plastic films are first adhered to the two terminals of the shoelace, and are subsequently pressed by polygonal molds to form polygonal tips. The polygonal tips could provide various shapes of the shoelace to raise the delicacy and the uniqueness. The durability of the shoelace is also increased because there is a larger contacting area between the shoelace and the plastic film so that it is not easy for the tip to fall off.
Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application is based on, and claims priority from, Taiwan Application Serial Number 95203656, filed Mar. 06, 2006, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. BACKGROUND [0002] 1. Field of Invention [0003] The present invention relates generally to a shoelace, and more particularly to a polygonal tipped shoelace. [0004] 2. Description of Related Art [0005] There are several different general shoelace tip designs depending on the need, for example, cylindrical tips attached around to plastic films, tips attached to the sleeve made from extruded metal, tips attached to the sleeve made from plastic and so on. [0006] The method of attaching metal or plastic sleeves to the shoelace tips is more complex because to attach the sleeves to the shoelace tips requires more than at least two processes. Therefore, it is more expensive and less popular. [0007] Attaching a cylinder wound by a plastic film to the shoelac...
