Description
-- ~ 3 t~32~, ELASTIC LACES FOR RUNNING SHOES
~ackground of the Invention This invention relates to shoelaces and, more particularly, to an elastic cotton shoelace formed in a web configuration.
Heretofore, elastic laces have been commonly made by braiding cotton or oth~r textile yarn around an elastic core consisting usually of vulcanized rubber.
While such laces are elastic to some extent, they are not at all durable or satisfactory for running shoes, particularly 6ince the amount of stretch is limited by the weave of ~he outer covering. Thus, if the covering is closely or tightly woven, very little stretch is permitted and the elastic function is not attain~d. On the other hand, if the covering is loosely woven about the rubber core to permit ~he requisite amount of stretch, the lacing, when normally contracted, is unduly bulky; while its strength of holding ability depends upon the core elements to which the loose outer covering contributes little or nothing. After a short period of use, the core breaks or loses enou~h of its elasticity to prevent contraction of the lacing to its normal dimension.
Field of the Invention This invention is directed to a shoelace having a cotton web configuration with spacedly arranged, longitudinally positioned elastic cores which provide the necessary streng~h and elasticity for use in running 8 ~ ~
shoes or other shoes used in sports that receive extr~mel~
hard usage.
Descri~tion of the Prior Art U. S. Patent No. 943,607 discloses a shoelace comprising a plurality of ~lastic strands suitabl~
uni~ed to one another by weaving and llaving a tu~ular covering for the lace, the edges of which are provided with an elastic strand.
U. S. Patent No. 1,649,027 discloses an elastic shoelace made of an outer casing of cotton and having a pair of inner elastic rubber elements.
U. S. Patent No. 2,036,482 disclQses a shoelace comprising a plurali~y of elongated bare elastic strands that are complemental to each other to form a tylng member of a circular configuration. A textile thread is woven around the assemble~ group of the elastic strands.
U. S. Patent No. 1,513,871 discloses a shoe-lace having a plurality of non-~lastic ~hreads woven together closely at the intermediate portion of the lace and interwoven at the end portion of the lace in sub-stantiall~ cylindrical form. Elastic strands are disposed longitudinally through the cylindrical end portion.
U. S. Pa-t~nt No. 1,566,466 discloses an elastic~
shoelace having particularly formed terminal en~ members.
U. S. Patent Nos. 1,943/844 and 3,059,518 disclose braided elastic shoelaces.
U. S. Patent No. 3,518,730 discloses a monoform shoelace having a minute central core surrounded by oppositely wound filamentary strands embedded in a cured, settable resin whose internal bonding strength is greater than the bonding strength between the resin and the strands.
U.S. Patent No. 3,701,572 discloses a stretch shoelace, the opposite ends of which are provided with interconnectable eye and hook members.
ummary of the Invention In accordance with the invention claimed, a new and improved shoelace is provided which provides the necessary stretch for shoes used in sports while maintaining a firm but comfortable tension on the shoe and foot even after thousands of stretching and contraction operations.
It is, therefore, one object of this invention to provide a new and improved shoelace, particularly for shoes used in sports requiring excessive foot movement.
Basically, the invention is a shoelace comprising: a plurality of spacedly positioned and longitudinally arranged elastic strands, a textile thread woven around the assembled group of said elastic strands to form an elongated web, the diameter o said strands being larger than the thickness of the web between said strands, thereby forming a ribbed configuration OTI each side of said web, rigid tips on the extremities of said textile covered strands to maintain the latter in assembled relationship to define a tying member, said textile thread being woven around said strands for causing said strands to function substantially independently of the other strands in the assembIy, and each longitudinal edge of said shoelace comprising a strand covered by said textile thread woven therearound.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the following description proceeds, and the features of novelty which characterize this invention will be pointed out with I :1 6 ~
particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of ~his specification.
Brief Description of the Drawing The present invention may be more readily described by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a partial perspective view of a shoelace, made in accordance with my invention, in its normal contracted condition;
Figure 2 is a cross-sectiona.l view of Figure 1 taken along the line 2-2;
Figure 3 is an enlarged view of the other side of the other end of the shoelace shown in Figure l; and Figure 4 is an enlarged partial view of a section of the shoelace shown in Figure 1 with a part broken away to show the interior of the shoelace.
Description of the Preferred Embodiment Referring more particularly to the drawing by characters of reference, Figures 1-4 disclose an elongated tying member, such as a shoelace 10, of a relatively 1 1 66 ~ '`3 flat web configuration formed fxom a plurality o~
spacedly positioned, longitudinally arranged elastic s~rands 11 which are held together ~y surrounding and interconnecting relatively closely woven cotton or other suitable fabric material 12 ~o provide a tying member of any predetermined length.
As shown in Fig~ 4, six elastic strands are illustrated with one forming each of the longitudinal edges 13 and 14 of the shoelace and the remaining ~trands of the web equally spaced from each other and extending axially throughout the tying member. Although 9iX strands are shown, any number may be used which permits a web portion to lie therebetween and still fall within the scope of thi~ invention.
The cotton material 12 tying strands 11 into a web is woven over the strands in such a manner that a rib or corrugated configuration re~ult~ with th~ strand~
11 extending outwardly of the interconnecting web portions 15 on each side of faces 12~ ~nd 12~ o~ the shoelace.
Thus, the thickness of the web between th0 strands is substantially less than,the diameter of the strands. This is im~ortant since the strands and web expand uniformly when stretched longitudinally of the strands~ but each strand may expand or contract with a ~reater degree of independence of the other strands upon movement of the shoe in which the lace is used which causes the lace to distort laterally of its longi-tudinal axis. The shoe on which the lace is used feel~
tightly but comfortably secured to the foot of the user, I :~ 668~t~
even under strenuous and non-uniform movement. This i~
of extreme importance to a runner or football, basketball or baseball player, among others, who must guard the safety and well-being of their feet. In pro~essional sports, a foot mishap could bench a valua~le and impor-tant player, all because a shoelace failed to function properly.
The fabric ox cotton material 12 is woven, a~3 shown in Fig. 1, completely around the strands 11. It is desirable that the fabric covering of the shoelace be flexible so as to permit yielding of the elastic strands yet confine the strands to maintain their as~embled relationship .
Substantially rigid lace tips 16 may be clamped on the extremiti~s 17 and 18 of the shoelace 10 so a~ to facilitate entry and passage through apertures of an associated shoc (not shown) and ~o further preclude fraying of the fabric covering of the shoelace.
The tips 16 may be of any desired metallic construction, although aluminum is preferred. The metallia tip~ 16 are preferably provided with den~s uniformly arranged in spaced intervals to pro,vide attachment to the shQelace in a ~nown manner to prevent the removal thereof. The elastic strands and fabric covering will be deformed in th~ regions of the indentations to correspond therewith, thereby holding the strands and cotton material of the web in assembled relation against any possible fraying or displacement.
~lith the use of an elastic shoe}ace of the 3~ type described and claimed, ma~cimum elasticity is I 1 ~6~
obtained without an excessiv~ amount of stretching.
This s~ill afford a feeling of snugness wi~hou~ discomfor~
and unnecessary binding. The shoe employing the di3closed ~hoelace will conform to the wearer's foot during the various movements of the user, affording freedom of the muscles of the leg to function without undue stress.
Further, once the shoestring is tied into a bow, the stretching of the elastic strands of the shoelace during the tying procedure will cause the bow to tighten up and hold firmly. It should ~e also no~ed that the breaking of one or more strands Qf the shoelace does not render the shoelace in~ffective to firmly hold the shoe on the foot of the user, since the remaining strands can function normally.
Although but one embodiment of the pre~ent inv~ntion has been illustrated and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the ~pirit of the invention or from the 3cope of the appended claims.
