Abstract (en)

A loop for laces (10) with rapid lace disengagement, particularly suitable for safety shoes such as boots for building site workers, the loop comprising a base (11) to be fixed to the upper (12) of a shoe, above which a lever (13) is articulated, the lever having a hook-shaped head portion (14) for the engagement of a lace (15) and a tail portion (16) that is available to the user for rapid disengagement. The lever (13) can rotate with respect to a transverse articulation axis from a closed position, for the engagement of the lace, with the tail portion rested on the base, to an open position, for the disengagement of the lace. The articulation axis is arranged so as to generate, when the lace is pulled, a moment that always acts so as to close the lever. <IMAGE>
