Shoelace fastening device

Abstract

A shoelace fastening device includes a main part having two openings perpendicularly defined therethrough and a passage transversely defined through the main part. Two sliding members are slidably inserted into the passage from two ends of the main part and each sliding member has an enclosed hole and an opened recess. A first hole and a second hole are formed by the separation portion in each of the openings. The first and second holes have substantially the same diameters. Two end member are connected on two ends of the two sliding members and each end member has a stop located on an inside thereof and the stop is engaged with an inside of the passage to prevent the sliding member from sliding within the passage. The main part includes a notch defined in an underside thereof so as to partially accommodate the shoelaces.

1 . A shoelace fastening device comprising:
 a main part having two openings perpendicularly defined relative to a axis of the main part and a passage defined through the main part in parallel with the axis of the main part, a notch defined in an underside of the main part;   two sliding members respectively and slidably inserted into the passage from two ends of the main part and located corresponding to the two openings, each sliding member having a separation portion so as to form an enclosed hole and an opened recess, an first hole and a second hole formed by the separation portion in each of the openings, the first hole communicating with the opened recess and the second hole communicating with the enclosed hole, the first and second hole having substantially the same diameters, and   two end members connected on two ends of the two sliding members respectively and located outside of the two ends of the main part, each end member having a stop located on an inside thereof and the stop contacting an inside of the passage to prevent the sliding member from sliding within the passage.   
     
     
         2 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the sliding members each have a flat underside. 
     
     
         3 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the end members each have a finger access defined in an underside thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a protrusion extends from a front end of the main part and a path is defined through the protrusion. 
     
     
         5 . The device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the path is a circular hole. 
     
     
         6 . The device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the path is an oval hole. 
     
     
         7 . The device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the path is a notch which has an opening facing downward, a width of an entry of the notch is smaller than that of the rest portion of the notch. 
     
     
         8 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the main part includes a recessed area and a ridge extends along a periphery of the recessed area, a sticker is attached to the recessed area.
