UNITED STATES ALBERT W. LAMY, F LENOX, MASSACHUSETTS.
ELASTIC SHOE LACE.
Application filed June 25, 1927. Serial No. 201,553.
The invention relates to an elastic shoe lace, and embodies a special shoe lace tip for use with the elastic shoe lace.
The object of the present invention is to improve the present construction of shoe laces that are used with low shoes, and to provide a simple, strong, and durable construction adapted to permit a low shoe, after the lacing of the shoe on the foot, to be taken OK the foot and placed on the foot without the necessity of unlacing the shoe.
To accomplish the object in view I use an elastic shoe lace, in which the elasticity of the lace allows the space between the parallel rows of the eyelets in the shoe to expand and contract as the foot is removed from or placed into the shoe; and after the desired tension is placed on the shoe lace and the shoe lace tied, the shoe may be worn for an indefinite period without interfering with the shoe lace.
lVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claims hereinafter appended.
Referring to the drawings in which like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal view in part section.
Figure 2 is a plan View of the slotted cylinder.
' Figure 3 is a side View of the slotted cylinder. I
The shoe lace 1 consists of elastic material, and I find from experience that good results are obtained from using pure live 40 rubber. The shoe lace '1 is turned over on the end, as indicated by the numeral 2, and inserted into the cylinder 3. The cylinder 3 is provided with a plurality of slots as indicated by the numeral 4:.
After the elastic shoe lace 1 is inserted into the cylinder 3, a hollow cone with a tapered opening 6 on the inside, is placed over the cylinder 3 and forced down over the cylinder, and the pressure brought to bear on the cylinder 3 will cause the slots in the cylinder to contract and force the inner side of the cylinder to grip the rubber and hold it in place within the cylinder. By using this method of forcing a cone with a tapered opening over the cylinder I am able to hold the rubber within the cylinder without resorting to liquid adhesive means, or to penetrating the rubber thereby Weakening the strength of the rubber. The cone is held against the cylinder 3 by adhesion, and can be removed at will for the insertion of a new elastic shoe lace within the cylin der 3.
By the novel means of using a cone over a cylinder held in position by adhesion I have provided a shoe lace tip that can be adapted and applied to various shoe laces; also I have provided means whereby the elastic shoe lace may be easily brought thru the eyelets on a shoe.
Having thus described my invention what I claim is 1. A shoe lace of elastic material, a cylinder provided with a plurality of longitudinal slots, a hollow cone provided with a tapered hole, and said cone forced down over the cylinder and held in position by adhesion and the resiliency of the elastic lace.
2. A shoe lace of elastic material, a cylinder of resilient material for the insertion of the end of the elastic shoe lace, said cylinder provided with a plurality of longitudinal slots that are contractable, a hollow cone provided with a tapered hole and said cone forced down over the cylinder and acting in cooperation with the said cylinder and elastic shoe lace and held in position by iidhesion and by resiliency of the elastic ace.
3. A shoe lace of elastic material, a cylinder for the insertion of the end of the elastic shoe lace, a hollow cone placed over the cylinder and held in position by adhesion and the resiliency of the elastic lace.
In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.
ALBERT W. LAMY.
