Benefits of technology

The invention described in the patent text has several benefits over previous designs. First, it prevents the shoelace from coming undone easily, reducing the chances of it getting caught on something or getting stepped on. Second, keeping the ends of the shoelace attached to the shoe stops it from touching the floor and getting dirty or wearing down. Third, it prevents the shoelace from coming undone accidentally, as it is designed to slip out of the shoe's eyelet. Fourth, it makes it easier to tie and requires fewer steps if there is already a knot in the shoe. These are just some of the benefits of this invention, but there may be more benefits as well.

Problems solved by technology

Second, keeping the ends secured to the shoe may minimize the chance of the shoelace touching the floor and accumulating dirt and / or wear.
Third, the shoelace may be unable to be undone accidentally (e.g., the end of the shoelace may be less prone to slipping out through an eyelet in the shoe).

Embodiment Construction

[0013]FIG. 1 illustrates a shoe 1 with a tongue 2 and a shoelace 3. The shoelace 3 may be tied to secure the shoelace and tighten the shoe 1, for example the shoe 1 can be tightened around a foot. The shoe may also take other forms and / or shapes and be secured around other objects, such as a knee, an elbow, a wrist, a back, a shin, a shoulder, and / or a neck. The shoe may take other forms and / or shapes that can be secured around other objects, such as pipes and / or rods. The shoelace 3 may be used to secure shorts, pants, a bag, a backpack, a jacket, a sweater, a hat, shirts, dresses and / or clothing. The shoelace 3 may be tied into a bow with a loop knot 4. The loop knot 4 may be an overhand knot, a square knot, a bowline, a slip knot, a bow, or any other suitable knot for tying the shoelace 3. The tied shoelace 3 may have a loop 7a and / or 7b. The loop knot 4 may be centered or approximately centered on the shoe or it may be offset. For example, the loop knot 4 may be centered between...
