Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention is based on a curved bracket made of spring steel. The bracket is inserted under the tied shoelaces of shoes and additionally secured by tying the shoelaces through the tongue of the shoe.
[0002] The holder is bent in such a way that a recess is created in the middle, allowing it to be easily pushed past most tabs on the tongues of shoes, and also enabling individual adjustment of the longitudinal position of the holder or longitudinal eyelet.
[0003] The curved, "open" eyelet serves to press the shoelace ends into the eyelet after tying the shoe and slide them lengthwise. Due to the small diameter of the wide eyelet, it gives the shoelaces a firm and secure hold and prevents the ends of the shoelaces from dragging on the ground, which could lead to accidents caused by tripping while walking.
[0004] The purpose of the holder is that the shoelaces are pressed in, fixed and secured through the opening of the longitudinal eyelet.
