Aglet assembly for shoelace

Abstract

An aglet assembly for a shoelace includes a tubular member firmly mounted to a restriction tube fastening to the distal end of the shoelace. The first end of the tubular member is pressed to form a narrow section so as to tightly mount the tubular member onto the restriction tube. An end cap is threadedly connected the second end of the tubular member.

1 . An aglet assembly for a shoelace which includes a distal end with a restriction tube mounted thereto, the aglet assembly comprising:
 a tubular member having a first end and a second end, a passage defined through the tubular member so as to be adapted to receive the restriction tube therein, the first end of the tubular member being pressed to form a narrow section which is adapted to tightly mount the tubular member onto the restriction tube.   
   
   
       2 . The assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the narrow section includes multiple outer surfaces. 
   
   
       3 . The assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second end of the tubular member includes a threaded section which includes outer threads defined in an outer periphery of the second end of the tubular member, an end cap is threadedly connected to the outer threads of the threaded section. 
   
   
       4 . The assembly as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein an annular shoulder is defined in a conjunction portion between a root portion of the threaded section and an outer periphery of the tubular member, a ring is mounted to the threaded section and rested on the annular shoulder, the end cap includes a first end with inner threads and an annular recess is defined in an inner periphery of the first end of the end cap, the inner threads in the first end of the end cap are threadedly engaged with the threaded section and the ring is received in the annular recess in the end cap. 
   
   
       5 . The assembly as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the second end of the end cap is a closed end.
