Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a shoe for tying shoestring, and more particularly, to a method of forming shoestring tying devices that separates the upper and lower pairs of fasteners on the left and right sides of a shoe and fastens them comfortably and safely in the shoe that can be easily put on and taken off by pulling or releasing them at once.

BACKGROUND ART

Generally, for shoes, a user starts threading the strings from the bottom left and right eyelets, inserting them one at a time in the shape of an X, and continuing all the way to the top. After inserting the string using this method, it is finished with a ribbon-type knot at the top. When wearing these shoes, it is true that the procedure is cumbersome because it has to be tightened and tied the strings one by one.

Accordingly, it became necessary to tie the strings more easily, and in response to this, the applicant applied as a legal representative for Korean Patent No. 0445965, “Shoes that tie the shoelaces at once and method of tying shoelaces” have been proposed as an alternative.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the string begins to be inserted from 6th eyelets (16a, 16b), skips one space at a time to the upper end with one space and the string is inserted into 4th eyelets (14a, 14b) to be crossed. In the same way, after the string is inserted to the upper end and a pair of right and left string loops (19a, 19b) are formed, then the string is again inserted into empty 3rd eyelets (13a, 13b) and the installation of the string is finished in 5th eyelets (15a, 15b). Moreover, in the string loops formed in the upper portion, connecting parts (21a,21b) are adhered to and it completes. Installing the string by skipping one space at a time means that when the string is tightened at the top, the angle of the string passing through each eyelet becomes twice as wide, and the resistance of the string passing through the eyelets is offset by two times compared to the tightening of regular shoe laces, and thus it is easily tightened and loosened.

Although the shoes of the above invention are convenient for the wearer to use, they have several shortcomings. That is, the prior art of the shoe that ties at once is structural, as shown in FIG. 7, when fastening by pulling the ‘V’ shaped left and right string loops (19a, 19b) where the fastening portion is fixed at the top of the instep of the shoe, the pulled positions intersect, and thus the string made up of four strands overlap each other as shown in FIG. 7, in other words, the string is twisted and bunched together, so there is a problem that the wearer may feel uncomfortable due to uneven pressure, and the overall arrangement of the string in the shoe may be unbalanced.

Moreover, in FIG. 7, if the shoes are worn by pulling the connecting parts (21a, 21b) adhering to the right and left string loops (19a, 19b), the attachment position of the left and right connecting parts (21a, 21b) are on the same line and overlap depending on the condition of the wearer's feet when the connecting parts (21a, 21b) are pulled to the back of the shoe.

DISCLOSURE

Technical Problem

Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide shoes that distribute the pressure of the string loops on the top of the foot so that users can wear the shoes more comfortably and to provide a method of forming the shoestring tying devices which solves the problem that the connecting part adhering to the draw strand string loops, because the positions of the string loops formed at the top of the shoe overlap or are twisted, there is unbalanced pressure on the ankle and aesthetics are unsatisfactory.

Technical Solution

The present invention provides a method of forming shoestring tying devices in shoes which can be attached crosswise with a pair of pull string loops on the upper left and right sides of the shoe neck and are easy to wear as the shoes can be fastened or released by pulling the shoestring tying devices, the method comprising; installing eyelets so that the pull string loops can be separated from each other up and down by omitting one eyelet between a second eyelet and a third eyelet located on the left upper and one eyelet above a first eyelet located on the right upper, forming a pair of connecting portions made of the adhesive and removable material (Velcro) to the top of the left and right sides of the shoe, inserting the shoestring into the eyelets so that the left and right pull string loops formed at the top are separated from each other up and down, and inserting the shoestring crosswise into empty lower eyelets after fastening portions are fastened to the pull string loops.

Advantageous Effects

The present invention is effective for that the pull string loops are separated into top and bottom so the pressure of the string on the ankle is spread out and tightened by the distributed four strand string when wearing shoes, the four strand string are held horizontally without bunching or twisting due to the fastened string loops since they are located side by side, the overall arrangement of shoestrings is neatly formed, and the fastening portions on the back of the shoes do not overlap when the wearer puts the shoes on.

BEST MODE OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is described in detail with reference to attached drawings as follows.

As shown in FIG. 2 showing the installation of eyelets located on the left and right uppers of the shoe, the perforated eyelets are installed symmetrically at regular intervals on the left upper (16a-13a) and the right upper (16b-13b) of the shoe, the left eyelet (12a, 11a) and right eyelets (12b, 11b) which form the pull string loops are installed asymmetrically on the top of the left and right uppers, and this occurs when fastening the shoestrings the string loops (19a, 19b) are clearly separated at the top and bottom fastening.

That is, in order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, one eyelet is omitted between the eyelets (13a, 12a) located on the left upper and one eyelet is also omitted above a first eyelet (11b) located on the right upper, and it provides the essence of a tying device divided into upper and lower parts which is a feature of the present invention.

MODE OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 4 of the next process is a partial view of the connecting portions attached to the top of the left and right uppers of the shoe, and Figured 5 is a detailed partial view of the fastening portions. As shown in (a) of FIG. 4, the connecting portions (22a) attached to the top of the left upper next to the shoe ankle and the connecting portions (22b) attached to the top of the right upper as shown in (b) are separated up and down, a separation guard (2) is formed between the upper and lower connecting portions separated at regular interval. According to the installation of the upper and lower connecting portions as described above, a wearer pulls the left and right fastening parts (21a, 21b) as shown in FIG. 1, and attaches them to the horizontally opposite connecting portions so that they do not overlap, and the separation guard (2) protruding between the connecting portions (22a, 22b) prevents the direction from being misaligned when attaching the fastening portions to the connecting portions. Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the fastening portions (1^st part 4a, 2^nd part 4b) coupled to the pull string loop are divided into two parts and are integrated by a connecting ring (3) between the two parts.

This structure provides flexibility by bending well when attaching or detaching the fastening portions from the connecting portions (22a, 22b), in particular when the fastening portions are pulled long according to the condition of the wearer's foot and fastened to the back of the ankle, it naturally bends into a ‘U’ shape according to the shape of the hind ankle, preventing the attachment range from deviating.

After completing the above process, as shown in FIG. 3, the position and name of the eyelets are referred to as the 1^st eyelet to the 6^th eyelet (11a-16b) from top to bottom. Among the eyelets perforated on the left and right around the instep of the shoe, the shoestring (20) is inserted into the 6^th eyelet (16a, 16b) at the bottom, and then one space is skipped upward and the shoestring (20) is inserted into the 4^th eyelet (14a, 14b) crosswise to form an ‘X’ shape. For convenience, the ends of the two strands of the shoestring (20) are called string ends (20a, 20b), respectively.

Next, the string end (20a) is inserted into the second eyelet (12a) and the string end (20b) is inserted into the second eyelet (12b), and again the string end (20a) is inserted into the fastening portion (21a) with the attachment surface made of Velcro facing the front from bottom to top, then the string end (20a) is inserted into the uppermost eyelet (11a) to create a pull string loop to which the fastening portion is coupled, and in the same way, a pair of the pull string loops connected to the fastening portions are completed by connecting the string end (20b) to the fastening portion (21b) and inserting the string end (20b) into the uppermost eyelet (11b). In the next step, the string end (20a) passes through the empty third eyelet (13b) at the bottom and finishes at the fifth eyelet (15a), and the string end (20b) passes through the empty lower third eyelet (13a) and finishes at the fifth eyelet (15b) to complete the installation of the entire string.
