Abstract (en)
A shoelace fastener (100,100',100",500) for a shoe includes a clamp unit (30,30',30") and a pull lace (10,10',10",510). The clamp unit (30,30',30") includes at least one generally U-shaped flexible string section (31,31',31",530) defining an opening (33,520), and at least one clamp member (40,40") attached slidably to and extending across the flexible string section (31,31',31",530) to divide the opening (33,520) into a first aperture (331) and a second aperture (332) . The flexible string section (31,31',31",530) has a U-bend (32,32") cooperating with the clamp member (40,40") to confine the second aperture (332). The clamp member (40,40") is slidable along the flexible string section (31,31',31",530) between a clamping position in which the clamp member (40,40") moves toward the U-bend (32, 32"), and a releasing position in which the clamp member (40,40") moves away from the U-bend (32,32"). The pull lace (10,10',10",510) is connected to the flexible string section (31,31',31",530) for pulling the flexible string section (31,31',31",530) so that the clamp member (40,40") slides along the flexible string section (31,31',31",530) to the releasing position.
