Technical Field

The invention relates to a shoelace with a lace apparatus which is locked in push buckle form and which is connected to the end of the lace without being knotted to each other.

Previous Technique

As is known, shoe laces are usually knotted in the shape of a butterfly. In this way, the knot can be untied several times a day by itself, and it can cause the lace swing towards right or left side of the shoe, it can even get under the shoe and lead to falling of the user. In addition to this, when the shoe laces are tied, the swinging long parts of the lace cause a dirtiness in terms of aesthetics and the users are trying to hide the swinging part of these laces to prevent this problem temporarily, however users, especially pregnant women, elders, children face difficulties when using this model, therefore knotting the shoelaces takes time and requires efforts.

In the recognized state of the technique, the easy untying of the laces is prevented as well as several lace apparatuses have been created to facilitate the knotting of the laces. In the current model in the market; the laces are locked with a clamp with a plastic and adjustable lock which is knotted to the laces. In this model, the swinging parts of the long laces do not appeal to the eye in terms of aesthetics.

In another existing model, in the shoes with laces, it is a lace apparatus that provides the easy wearing/ taking off the shoe; when the shoe is worn/ taken off, there is a magnet that provides the connection of the left and right part and it contains a hole in which the laces are placed when adjusting the shoelaces.

Another shoelace is associated with a connection element which is fixed to at least one of the lacing tips, which allows the connection of the lace ends. The aforesaid connection element, preferably consists of a female part connected to the aforementioned lace end, there is a female lace slot which is connected to the end of the lace which is placed on the aforesaid female part; to provide the connection of the aforesaid lace ends to the other end of lace, a male part which is connected to the aforesaid female part; it contains a female part lace slot in which the other end of the lace is placed on the aforesaid male part .

The invention in this technique, the lace ends which swing after tying of the laces are connected to each other with the connection elements, it has been created to prevent contact of the lace ends with the dirty ground and deformation. The previously mentioned invention contains a male part connection bulge and female part assembly slot of which the connection can be easily cut when desired and easily connected to each other through the magnetization for this purpose. In the previously mentioned invention, the male part connection bulge protrudes outward from the lateral edge of the male part, is placed into the assembly slot which is structured to the lateral surface of the lateral surface of the female part assembly slot.

In the recognized state of the technique, the laces are knotted in the form of butterfly through a magnet, however the laces can easily be untied easily because they are knotted to each other with a node. In short, the invention prevents the untying of the laces as well as it prevents the crawling of the lace ends, especially the long ones. In addition, the magnet ends are separated to re-tie the untied laces, the laces shall be reconnected after the laces are connected.

In the recognized state of the technique, the previously mentioned models do not have the following characteristics; the laces can be connected without knotting, the laces are fixed without hanging and the laces are not integral in appearance in terms of aesthetics. Therefore, there is no lace apparatus through the desired results are provided in a single model.
