  • Patent number: 3947928
    Abstract: A snap on shoe lace eliminates the conventional tying of the ends of the shoe lace. The snap on shoe lace consists of an elongated plastic or cloth strip member. A plurality of snap members are embedded in the back face of a first end of the elongated member and a plurality of snap receiving members are embedded in the front face of a second end of the elongated member. When the shoe lace is laced through the lacing holes of the flaps of a shoe, the first and second ends of the shoe lace extend outward from the top lacing hole of each flap. The first and second ends of the shoe lace are secured to each other by the engagement of the snap members and snap receiving members. A design pattern can be printed on the front face of the elongated strip.
