  • Slip-resistant binding
    Patent number: 4247967
    Abstract: A slip-resistant binding is formed by attaching male and female-type Velcro strips along opposite ends of a shoelace or other binding material. The two types of Velcro fasteners are arranged such that fasteners of opposite type automatically engage one another at every point where the lace or binding crosses. Alternatively, two strips of opposite-type Velcro material are joined back to back to form a slip-resistant binding.
