DELPET-TYPE LACE FASTENER AND LACE MEANT FOR IT Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A43C1/06 

FIELD: personal demand items.

SUBSTANCE: proposed group of inventions refers to footwear accessories and namely to lace footwear fastener and lace hook meant for that fastener. The effect is achieved with the lace footwear fastener provided with pairs of rings with a lace passed through them on the item parts which are drawn together. Lace hooks of the fastener have a base, a neck and its head. At that, the middle part of the lace comprises the hole in order to put the lace with fingers in a cross way on the hooks when fastening it, and its end sections are passed downwards through the rings which are the nearest ones to the hooks and through the rest ones in turn or passing the last but one pair to which they are returned from the last pair and passed downwards in a cross way and connected there. Like in the first version, together with edges of its rings or each independently therefrom, owing to the stops made in them by the tied knots, for example in the form of figure eight in order to increase overall dimension and non-passage through the rings, the lace has preferably free ends 5 - 10 cm each in order to adjust the length of its working part. At that, longitudinal axes of the hooks are mainly located along the vectors of the operating forces of the lace, which act upon the necks of the hooks, and when the hooks are made from wire, their bases are preferably located on the outside of storm shoes, and their necks with heads are passed through the holes made in them to the outside. If it is necessary to elongate the lace hole, the right-handed hook of the right shoe is offset to the right, and the left-handed hook of the left shoe - to the left.

EFFECT: excluding the lace knot above the fastener's hooks, considerable simplifying and speeding-up daily fastenings and unfastenings of footwear preferably with one hand, as well as in the dark, and by the hook - decreasing the ability of being hooked and simplifying manufacture and attachment.
