Description

Shoelaces

本發明係有關於一種鞋帶。The present invention relates to a shoelace.

習知之鞋帶多由複數股線編織而成，僅能藉由改變織法或股線顏色等方式產生外觀上的變化，變化性有限，且加工步驟複雜。此外，習知之鞋帶表面概呈平順延伸，於綁束時摩擦力不足而容易鬆脫，且結構強度不足、使用耐久性不佳，存在亟待改善之缺弊。Conventional shoelaces are mostly woven from multiple strands of yarn, and the appearance can only be changed by changing the weaving method or the color of the strands, which is limited in variability and complicated in processing steps. In addition, the surface of conventional shoelaces is generally smooth and extends, which makes it easy to loosen due to insufficient friction when tied, and the structural strength is insufficient and the durability is poor, which has shortcomings that need to be improved urgently.

因此，有必要提供一種新穎且具有進步性之鞋帶，以解決上述之問題。Therefore, it is necessary to provide a novel and advanced shoelace to solve the above-mentioned problem.

本發明之主要目的在於提供一種鞋帶，綁束時不易鬆脫且結構強度及美觀性佳。The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a shoelace that is not easy to loosen when tied and has good structural strength and aesthetics.

為達成上述目的，本發明提供一種鞋帶，包括：一芯材，定義一軸向；及一包覆層，套設於該芯材，該包覆層覆蓋該芯材之一外周面面積的30％至90％。To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a shoelace, comprising: a core material defining an axial direction; and a covering layer sleeved on the core material, wherein the covering layer covers 30% to 90% of an area of an outer peripheral surface of the core material.

以下僅以實施例說明本發明可能之實施態樣，然並非用以限制本發明所欲保護之範疇，合先敘明。The following examples are merely used to illustrate possible implementations of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention, so it should be noted in advance.

請參考圖1，其顯示本發明之一較佳實施例，本發明之鞋帶1包括一芯材10及一包覆層20。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The shoelace 1 of the present invention includes a core material 10 and a covering layer 20.

該芯材10定義一軸向；該包覆層20套設於該芯材10，該包覆層20覆蓋該芯材10之一外周面面積的30％至90％，藉此於綁束時可提供較大的摩擦阻力，不易鬆脫，且結構強度佳，亦可產生特殊視覺效果。The core material 10 defines an axial direction; the covering layer 20 is sleeved on the core material 10, and the covering layer 20 covers 30% to 90% of the area of one peripheral surface of the core material 10, thereby providing greater friction resistance when tied, not easy to loosen, and having good structural strength, and can also produce special visual effects.

該包覆層20包括複數股線21，該複數股線21相互針織並形成複數相互穿套之線圈22，該複數線圈22部分地相互穿繞且部分該複數股線21分別反折彎繞於另一該股線21後再彎折穿設於另一該線圈22而構成複數套結部223，該複數套結部223之間圍構複數網孔，進而可限定各該網孔之構形；各該股線21一體連續延伸包覆於該芯材10之相對二端之間，結構強度佳。於本實施例中，該複數線圈22構成複數脊部221及複數連接部222，該複數脊部221定義為該複數線圈22相對於該芯材10之外周面較高的部分，該複數連接部222定義為該複數線圈22相對於該芯材10之外周面較低的部分，該複數脊部221沿該軸向延伸且相互間隔地圍繞該芯材10排列，各該連接部222連接於相鄰之二該脊部221之間，各該連接部222包括延伸方向相異之複數線段222a，使該包覆層20於該芯材10之外周面上具有局部較高之包覆範圍，進而增加結構強度、耐磨性，同時可產生不同視覺效果。The coating layer 20 includes a plurality of strands 21, which are interwoven to form a plurality of loops 22 that are interwoven with each other. The plurality of loops 22 are partially interwoven with each other and a portion of the plurality of strands 21 is respectively folded back and bent around another strand 21 and then folded and passed through another loop 22 to form a plurality of looping portions 223. A plurality of meshes are surrounded between the plurality of looping portions 223, thereby limiting the configuration of each mesh. Each strand 21 is continuously extended and wrapped between two opposite ends of the core material 10, and the structural strength is good. In this embodiment, the plurality of coils 22 constitute a plurality of ridges 221 and a plurality of connecting portions 222. The plurality of ridges 221 are defined as portions of the plurality of coils 22 that are higher relative to the outer circumference of the core material 10, and the plurality of connecting portions 222 are defined as portions of the plurality of coils 22 that are lower relative to the outer circumference of the core material 10. The plurality of ridges 221 extend along the axial direction and are arranged around the core material 10 at intervals. Each connecting portion 222 is connected between two adjacent ridges 221. Each connecting portion 222 includes a plurality of line segments 222a with different extension directions, so that the coating layer 20 has a locally higher coating range on the outer circumference of the core material 10, thereby increasing the structural strength and wear resistance, and at the same time producing different visual effects.

詳細說，該包覆層20包括相互連接之至少一第一段23及至少一第二段24，各該第一段23覆蓋該外周面之面積大於一該第二段24覆蓋該外周面之面積。舉例來說，該包覆層20可包括沿該軸向交錯排列之複數該第一段23及複數該第二段24，亦可於一該第一段與一該第二段之間另設有其他結構之區段；各該第一段23覆蓋該外周面面積的70％，各該第二段24覆蓋該外周面面積的40％，美觀性佳且有助於增強結構強度。各該第一段23具有一第一徑向尺寸，各該第二段24具有一大於該第一徑向尺寸之第二徑向尺寸，藉此該至少一第一段23與該至少一第二段24具有相異之徑向壓縮率。較佳地，該至少一第一段23之織法相異於該至少一第二段24的織法；該複數網孔包括複數第一網孔231及複數大於該複數第一網孔231之第二網孔241，各該第一段23包括該複數第一網孔231，各該第二段24包括該複數第二網孔241，鄰近於一該第一段23之該些第二網孔241之孔徑小於相對遠離該第一段23之該些第二網孔241，美觀性佳且變化性多。各該第二網孔241之一徑向尺寸不小於該芯材10之一線徑的1/2，使該鞋帶1具有明顯的凹凸表面而可提供充分的摩擦阻力，且該芯材10可自該複數第二網孔241朝外顯露。該鞋帶1之一端亦可穿設於該複數第二網孔241中以限位於該芯材10與該包覆層20之間，無需綁束即可固定該鞋帶1多餘之部分。於其他實施例中，該包覆層亦可於一該第一段與一該第二段之間另設有其他結構之區段。In detail, the coating layer 20 includes at least one first segment 23 and at least one second segment 24 connected to each other, and the area of the outer peripheral surface covered by each first segment 23 is larger than the area of the outer peripheral surface covered by each second segment 24. For example, the coating layer 20 may include a plurality of first segments 23 and a plurality of second segments 24 arranged in a staggered manner along the axis, and a segment with other structures may be provided between a first segment and a second segment; each first segment 23 covers 70% of the area of the outer peripheral surface, and each second segment 24 covers 40% of the area of the outer peripheral surface, which is aesthetically pleasing and helps to enhance structural strength. Each of the first sections 23 has a first radial dimension, and each of the second sections 24 has a second radial dimension greater than the first radial dimension, so that the at least one first section 23 and the at least one second section 24 have different radial compression rates. Preferably, the weaving method of the at least one first section 23 is different from the weaving method of the at least one second section 24; the plurality of meshes include a plurality of first meshes 231 and a plurality of second meshes 241 greater than the plurality of first meshes 231, each of the first sections 23 includes the plurality of first meshes 231, and each of the second sections 24 includes the plurality of second meshes 241, and the apertures of the second meshes 241 adjacent to the first section 23 are smaller than the apertures of the second meshes 241 relatively far from the first section 23, so that the aesthetics are good and the variety is great. The radial dimension of each second mesh 241 is not less than 1/2 of the diameter of the core material 10, so that the shoelace 1 has a distinct concave-convex surface and can provide sufficient friction resistance, and the core material 10 can be exposed outward from the plurality of second meshes 241. One end of the shoelace 1 can also be inserted into the plurality of second meshes 241 to be limited between the core material 10 and the coating layer 20, and the excess part of the shoelace 1 can be fixed without tying. In other embodiments, the coating layer can also be provided with a section with other structures between the first section and the second section.

該鞋帶1另包括二頭部30，各該頭部固定於該芯材10與該包覆層20之二端，各該頭部30包覆該至少一第一段23及該至少一第二段24其中一者，便於加工。舉例來說，當該二頭部30其中一者包覆於一該第一段23時，該複數股線21於該鞋帶1之一周向上分布較平均而可平均受力，不易受磨損、拉扯而斷裂；當該二頭部30其中一者包覆於一該第二段24時，該第二段24易於壓縮而可形成徑向尺寸較小之一該頭部30，便於穿設於部分之該複數第二網孔241中。The shoelace 1 further includes two heads 30, each of which is fixed to two ends of the core material 10 and the coating layer 20, and each of which covers the at least one first section 23 and the at least one second section 24, so as to facilitate processing. For example, when one of the two heads 30 covers the first section 23, the plurality of strands 21 are distributed more evenly in a circumferential direction of the shoelace 1 and can be evenly stressed, and are not easily broken by wear and tear; when one of the two heads 30 covers the second section 24, the second section 24 is easily compressed to form a head 30 with a smaller radial size, so as to facilitate insertion into a portion of the plurality of second meshes 241.
