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.
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
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
Moreover, in
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.
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.
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.
The present invention is described in detail with reference to attached drawings as follows.
As shown in
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.
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
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.
