Description

Shoes with one-touch fasteners

[0001] The present invention relates to a shoe having a one-touch fixing part.

[0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to a shoe equipped with a one-touch fastening part that allows anyone, including children and the elderly, to easily fasten shoelaces by hooking a one-touch fastening part formed on a shoelace to a hook provided on the shoe, rather than tying a pair of shoelaces together, thereby enabling the shoelaces to be fastened quickly and easily.

[0003] Typically, sneakers are made by inserting shoelaces through a number of holes in the front, and then tying the ends of a pair of shoelaces exposed at the top.

[0004] However, this method of tying shoelaces can cause the knots to become loose or come undone due to movement or exercise.

[0005] At this time, the task of retie-lacing the shoelaces is performed, but for people with physical disabilities, such as children or the elderly, the process of retie-lacing the shoelaces can be very difficult.

[0006] Accordingly, a technology is required that allows for the shoelaces to be firmly fixed to the sneakers without having to be tied, by simply hooking them onto the clasps provided on the sneakers, rather than tying them together.

[0007] The present invention has been devised to meet the above-mentioned needs, and the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a shoe equipped with a one-touch fastening part that enables children, the elderly, and others to easily fasten shoelaces quickly and easily by fastening shoelaces by hooking a one-touch fastening part formed on a shoelace to a hook provided on a sneaker, rather than tying a pair of shoelaces together.

[0008] In addition, another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a shoe having a one-touch fixing part that can fix a shoelace regardless of the size of the shoe by having a plurality of one-touch fixing parts formed of an inclined surface and a folded surface on the outside of the shoelace along the longitudinal direction of the shoelace, so that a one-touch fixing part selected from among a plurality of one-touch fixing parts is caught on a catch provided on the sneaker.

[0009] In addition, another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a shoe having a one-touch fastening portion that improves the durability of the shoelace so that the one-touch fastening portion is fastened to the clasp by providing a fabric cover on the outside of the shoelace made of polymer material, and further, provides an aesthetic feel by providing a fabric texture and minimizes a sense of foreignness.

[0010] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention provides a shoe equipped with a one-touch fixing part, characterized in that it comprises a sneaker equipped with a plurality of catches on the upper front side; and a shoelace that is caught and fixed by the catches; thereby solving the technical problem.

[0011] In addition, the catch (110) is configured to include an extension portion (111) formed in a shape extending outward from the sneaker (100); and a curved portion (112) formed in a curved shape by bending the upper portion of the extension portion (111) to form an arch; wherein the catches (110) are provided on both sides of the front of the sneaker (100) spaced apart from each other, and each of the catches (110) provided on both sides is formed in a shape in which the direction in which the curved portion (112) is formed is symmetrical to each other, thereby providing a shoe with a one-touch fixing portion, thereby solving the technical problem.

[0012] In addition, the shoelace (200) is configured to include a plurality of one-touch fixing parts (210) provided along the longitudinal direction of the long axis of the shoelace (200) on the outer surface, and the one-touch fixing parts (210) are fixed by being caught on a catch (110), thereby solving the technical problem by providing a shoe equipped with a one-touch fixing part.

[0013] In addition, the technical problem is to be solved by providing a shoe equipped with a one-touch fixing part (210), characterized in that the one-touch fixing part (210) comprises a sloped surface (211) formed along the outer periphery of the shoelace (200) such that the diameter gradually increases toward the end of the shoelace; and a folded surface (212) that is folded at the end of the sloped surface (211) and extends toward the outer periphery of the shoelace (200).

[0014] In addition, the technical problem is to be solved by providing a shoe equipped with a one-touch fixing part, characterized in that the middle part of the shoelace (200) is formed in a smooth shape, and a one-touch fixing part (210) is provided on each side, and the one-touch fixing parts (210) provided on each side of the shoelace (200) are formed in a symmetrical shape.

[0015] In addition, the technical problem is solved by providing a shoe equipped with a one-touch fixing part, characterized in that it comprises a cover (300) provided to wrap around the outer surface of a shoelace (200).

[0016] In addition, the technical problem is solved by providing a shoe equipped with a one-touch fastening part, characterized in that the shoelace (200) is made of a polymer material and the cover (300) is made of a fabric material.

[0017] The present invention, rather than tying a pair of shoelaces together, fastens the shoelaces by hooking a one-touch fixing part formed on the shoelaces to a clasp provided on the sneakers, thereby enabling children, the elderly, and others to easily fasten shoelaces quickly and easily, and furthermore, has a remarkable effect of preventing safety accidents such as stepping on or tripping over shoelaces by preventing the shoelaces from coming undone during exercise or movement due to the strong fixing force.

[0018] In addition, the present invention has a remarkable effect of being able to fix a shoelace regardless of the size of the shoe by providing a plurality of one-touch fixing parts formed of an inclined surface and a folded surface on the outside of the shoelace along the longitudinal direction of the shoelace, so that a one-touch fixing part selected from among a plurality of one-touch fixing parts is hooked to a hook provided on a sneaker.

[0019] In addition, the present invention has a remarkable effect of improving the durability of the shoelace by providing a fabric cover on the outside of a shoelace made of a polymer material so that the one-touch fixing part is caught on the clasp, and further, providing an aesthetic feel by providing a fabric material texture and minimizing a sense of foreignness.

[0041] The shoe having a one-touch fixing part according to the present invention is a shoe having a one-touch fixing part that allows children, the elderly, and others to easily fasten a shoelace (200) to a sneaker (100) quickly and easily by fixing the shoelace (200) by hooking a one-touch fixing part (210) formed on a shoelace (200) to a clasp (110) provided on the sneaker (100) instead of tying a pair of shoelaces together.

[0042] Hereinafter, a shoe equipped with a one-touch fixing part according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0043] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shoe equipped with a one-touch fixing part according to the present invention.

[0044] A shoe equipped with a one-touch fixing part according to the present invention easily fixes a shoelace (200) to a sneaker (100), but when the sneaker (100) needs to be taken off, the shoelace (200) is detached from a clasp (110) so that the sneaker can be taken off quickly and easily, and is configured to include a sneaker (100), a shoelace (200) fastened to the sneaker (100), and a cover (300) provided on the surface of the shoelace (200).

[0045] Here, sneakers (100) refer to general shoes equipped with shoes and shoelaces, and in addition to sneakers (100) of the type shown in the drawing, sneakers (100) and shoelaces (200) may be provided, such as boots, dress shoes, hiking shoes, trekking shoes, or other shoes used for specific sports.

[0046] In detail, the sneakers (100) refer to general shoes, but are characterized in that a shoelace fastening hole (not shown in the drawing symbol) for passing a shoelace (200) through and a catch (110) described later are formed on the front of the sneakers (100).

[0047] Hereinafter, the sneakers will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

[0048] Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a sneaker in a shoe equipped with a one-touch fixing part according to the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a front view showing a clasp in a shoe equipped with a one-touch fixing part according to the present invention.

[0049] First, in this specification, the sneakers (100) are characterized by having a plurality of shoelace fasteners and a clasp (110) on the front side.

[0050] This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2. Shoelaces are provided spaced apart from each other on both sides of the front of the sneaker (100), and are formed in multiple numbers spaced apart from each other as they go from the front side to the back side of the sneaker (100).

[0051] These shoelace fasteners provide a space through which shoelaces (200) pass, and are formed on the front side of the sneaker (100), as shown in FIG. 2.

[0052] In addition, the clasp (110) performs the function of catching the rescue touch fixing part (210) on the shoelace (200) described later, and is provided spaced apart from each other on both sides of the front of the sneaker (100), but is provided in multiple numbers spaced apart from each other as it goes from the front side to the back side of the sneaker (100).

[0053] This catch (110) is configured to optionally catch and fix the shoelace (200) or to detach and separate the shoelace (200), and includes an extension (111) and a curved portion (112).

[0054] The extension part (111), as described in detail with reference to FIG. 3, is formed in a form extending outward from the outer surface of the sneaker (100), and the curved part (112) is formed in a curved shape at the upper end of the extension part (111) to form an arch.

[0055] A catch (110) with openings in the front, rear, and lower sides is formed by the extension (111) and the curved portion (112) as described above.

[0056] The catch (110) having this configuration is provided so that the opening direction faces the outside of the sneaker (100), as shown in FIG. 2, so that each catch (110) provided on both sides is provided in a symmetrical shape in which the directions in which the curved portions (112) are formed are opposite to each other.

[0057] Accordingly, when fixing the shoelace (200) described later by hooking it to the clasp (110), the shoelace (200) can be moved from the outside of the sneaker (100) toward the inside so that it is hooked to the clasp (110).

[0058] At this time, the catch (110) may be made of a synthetic resin or metal material such as plastic having a certain strength.

[0059] According to the design conditions, as described with reference to FIG. 2, a plurality of catches (110) provided to be spaced apart from each other from the front side to the back side of the sneaker (100) may be arranged in a row (line) such as a shoelace fastening hole for a shoelace (200) to pass through a portion of the front side of the sneaker (100), while the remaining portion of the catches (110) may be provided on the side of the sneaker (100). That is, the catches (110) may be provided in various places on the outer surface of the sneaker (100) depending on the shape of the sneaker (100).

[0060] This means that when a user wants to fasten a shoelace (200) to a clasp (110), the shoelaces (200) are sequentially hooked to a plurality of clasps (110) in various ways, thereby preventing the shoelaces (200) from easily coming undone through the effect of intertwining them without tying them together.

[0061] Meanwhile, in the drawing shown in FIG. 2, an example is shown in which a shoelace fastening hole and a catch (110) are provided together on the front side of a sneaker (100), but, of course, depending on the design conditions, the shoelace fastening hole may be omitted and only the catch (110) may be provided.

[0062] That is, by entangling and fixing the shoelaces (200) described later through a plurality of clasps (110), the shoelaces (200) can be firmly fixed to the sneakers (100).

[0063] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a shoelace in a shoe equipped with a one-touch fastening part according to the present invention, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a shoelace and a cover in a shoe equipped with a one-touch fastening part according to the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a process of a shoelace being hooked to a clasp of a sneaker in a shoe equipped with a one-touch fastening part according to the present invention.

[0064] The shoelace (200) is fixed by being hooked onto the clasp (110) of the sneaker (100), and performs the function of fixing the sneaker (100) to the user's foot by selectively repeating fixing and loosening.

[0065] These shoelaces (200) are characterized by having a one-touch fixing portion (210) provided on a portion of the outer circumference, as illustrated in FIG. 4.

[0066] At this time, it is preferable that the shoelace (200) be made of a material having flexible properties and have a certain elasticity, and for example, it may be made of a polymer material such as urethane, polyethylene, or polypropylene, and preferably, it may be made of a polymer material.

[0067] The one-touch fixing part (210) is provided in a number of pieces along the longitudinal direction of the shoelace (200) on the outer surface and is selectively fixed by being hooked onto a hook (110) provided on the sneaker (100), and is configured to include an inclined surface (211) and a folded surface (212).

[0068] At this time, referring to FIG. 4, the middle part of the sneaker (100) is formed in the form of a smooth string, and both ends of the shoelace (200) exposed to the front side of the sneaker (100), that is, both sides of a pair of shoelaces (200) exposed to the upper side of the front of the sneaker (100), are each provided with a one-touch fixing part (210), which is provided in a symmetrical form.

[0069] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the inclined surface (211) is formed so that the diameter gradually increases toward the end of the shoelace (200) along the outer periphery of the shoelace, and the folded surface (212) is formed by folding the end of the inclined surface (211) and extending toward the outer periphery of the shoelace (200).

[0070] At this time, a plurality of one-touch fixing parts (210) composed of a slope (211) and a folded surface (212) are provided along the longitudinal direction of the shoelace (200), as shown in FIG. 5.

[0071] Depending on the design conditions, a plurality of one-touch fixing parts (210) may be provided on the outer surface of the shoelace (200) in a form in which they are connected to each other, as shown in FIG. 5, or spaced apart from each other.

[0072] Accordingly, as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, the folded surface (212) is formed in a form extending outward from the outer surface of the shoelace (200), and the inclined surface (211) is formed in a form inclined from the end of the folded surface (212) to the outer surface of the shoelace (200). As such, as illustrated in FIG. 6, when the shoelace (200) is inserted into the catch (110), the shoelace (200) can slide in the direction from the catch (110) toward the end of the shoelace (200) by the inclined surface (211), while the front of the folded surface (212) is caught on the back surface of the catch (110), thereby preventing the shoelace (200) from coming off from the catch (110) and ensuring that it is firmly fixed.

[0073] Accordingly, when a user walks downhill while climbing a mountain or engages in exercise such as running, the shoelace (200) fixed to the sneaker (100) needs to be tightened more strongly, so by simply pulling the end of the shoelace (200) toward the back of the sneaker (100), the shoelace (200) is tightened so that the one-touch fixing portion (210) located at the front side among the multiple one-touch fixing portions (210) is caught by the catch (110), thereby easily adjusting the length at which the shoelace (200) is fixed to the catch (110) as desired.

[0074] The cover (300), as described with reference to FIG. 5, is provided to wrap around the outer surface of the shoelace (200) and performs the function of protecting the shoelace (200).

[0075] At this time, it is preferable that the cover (300) be provided so as to also wrap around the outer surface of the one-touch fixing part (210), as shown in FIG. 5, and such a cover (300) may be made of a fabric material.

[0076] In other words, it can provide the same aesthetic feel as the shoelaces provided on regular sneakers.

[0077] Furthermore, the color and design of the cover (300) made of fabric material can be expressed in various forms, thereby providing an aesthetic effect through various productions.

[0078] Depending on the design conditions, the method for attaching a fabric cover (300) to the outer surface of the shoelace (200) may be accomplished by using an adhesive or silicone composition, or by heating.

[0079] The process of fixing a shoelace (200) to a sneaker (100) in a shoe equipped with a one-touch fixing part according to the present invention having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 6. First, as shown in FIG. 1, when a shoelace fastening hole is formed on the front side of the front of the sneaker (100), a shoelace (200) is sequentially passed through the shoelace fastening hole, and then, as shown in FIG. 6, both sides of a pair of shoelaces (200) are sequentially hooked to a plurality of hooks (110) from the front side to the back side of the sneaker (100), and are hooked from the bottom side to the top side.

[0080] At this time, if the shoelace (200) is pulled toward the back of the sneaker and hooked, the shoelace (200) that is firmly fixed to the front of the sneaker (100) is kept taut and is firmly fixed without coming loose.

[0081] Accordingly, not only children but also people with disabilities such as the elderly can easily and conveniently fasten shoelaces (200) firmly.

[0082] In addition, when the sneakers (100) need to be taken off, the shoelace (200) that is caught on the clasp (110) is lowered into the space below the clasp (110) in the opposite process of the drawing shown in FIG. 6, so that the shoelace (200) can be easily untied.

[0083] According to this configuration, the shoe equipped with a one-touch fixing part according to the present invention fixes the shoelace (200) by hooking the one-touch fixing part (210) formed on the shoelace (200) to the clasp (110) provided on the sneaker (100) rather than tying a pair of shoelaces together, thereby enabling children, the elderly, and others to easily fix the shoelace (200) quickly and easily, and furthermore, due to the strong fixing force, the shoelace (200) does not come loose during exercise or movement, thereby preventing safety accidents such as stepping on the shoelace (200) or tripping over it in advance.

[0084] In addition, the present invention provides a plurality of one-touch fixing parts (210) formed of an inclined surface (211) and a folded surface (212) on the outside of the shoelace (200) along the longitudinal direction of the shoelace (200), so that a one-touch fixing part (210) selected from among the plurality of one-touch fixing parts (210) is caught on a catch (110) provided on a sneaker (100), thereby fixing the shoelace (200) regardless of the size of the shoe. In other words, the length at which the shoelace (200) is caught can be selectively adjusted and fixed.

[0085] In addition, the present invention improves the durability of the shoelace (200) by providing a cover (300) made of fabric material on the outside of a shoelace (200) made of polymer material so that a one-touch fixing part (210) can be caught on a clasp (110), and further, provides an aesthetic feel by providing a texture of fabric material and minimizes a sense of foreignness, and further, provides an aesthetic effect by diversifying the color or design of the shoelace (200) made of fabric material.

[0086] Although the above description has presented and described various embodiments of the present invention, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various substitutions, modifications, and changes can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.
