Shoe enabling the adjustment of the tension of shoelaces

Abstract

The inventive concept relates to a shoe enabling the adjustment of the tension of shoelaces. The shoe includes a first shoelace engaging member including left and right shoelace engaging members and a second shoelace engaging member. The first shoelace engaging member includes a first fixed member engaged to the shoe front upper and a movable member rotatably engaged to the first fixed member by means of hinge formed at first end of the movable member. The movable member includes a hole through which a shoelace passes and formed at second end of the movable member. The second shoelace engaging member is disposed between the left and right shoelace engaging members. The second shoelace engaging member includes a second fixed member disposed on a tongue and a second movable member rotatably engaged to the second fixed member by means of a main hinge.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]Embodiments of the inventive concept relate to a shoe enabling the adjustment of the tension of shoelaces, and in particular to a shoe enabling the adjustment of the tension of shoelaces which makes it possible to adjust the tension of shoelaces with the aid of shoelace engaging members connected to a shoe front upper and a main shoelace engaging member.[0003]In addition, Embodiments of the inventive concept relates to a shoe structure enabling the adjustment of the tension of shoelaces, and in particular to a shoe structure enabling the adjustment of the tension of shoelace which makes it possible to adjust the tension of shoelaces with the aid of shoelace engaging members connected to a shoe front upper and a main shoelace engaging member.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]In case of sneakers, a shoelace is connected to eyelets formed at the shoe front upper, so a user wears the shoes in such a way to loose or tighten the shoelace ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0014]The inventive concept has advantages in that the tension being applied to the shoelaces can be adjusted in such a way to fold or unfold the left and right shoelace engaging members and the main shoelace engaging members of the shoe, thus easily loosening and tightening the shoelaces.

[0015]The inventive concept has more advantages in that the tension being applied to the shoelaces can be more effectively adjusted in such a way to fold or unfold the left and right shoelace engaging members and the main shoelace engaging members of the shoe, thus much more easily loosening and tightening the shoelaces as compared with the conventional art.

[0016]The left and right shoelace engaging member hinge holes of the shoe are widened, and the engaging protrusion and the engaging groove are formed at the movable member and the fixed member, so the tension of the shoelaces can be more reliably adjusted.

Problems solved by technology

The above described conventional shoe tension adjusting device can be manufactured through complicated procedures, and the tension adjustment is hard, and such shoe tension adjusting device may be easily damaged or broken.
