Object for adorning footwear

Abstract

An object for adorning footwear including either a generally trapezoidal and planar main piece composed of flexible, resilient material, or a main piece preformed to have a generally ribbon-shaped configuration with a strip of generally planar material twisted one half turn to form a loop in a mid portion, with the strip crossing in an interface area, with two free ends with diagonally oriented ends extending below the loop and interface area, and an attachment configured for selectively attaching and detaching corresponding sections of said main piece to each other in the interface area, in order to form said main piece into a generally looped ribbon shape, wherein a through passageway is formed through the loop when said attachment is engaged.

1 . An object for adorning footwear comprising:
 a generally trapezoidal and planar main piece composed of flexible, resilient material; and   an attachment configured for selectively attaching and detaching corresponding sections of said main piece to each other, in order to form said main piece into a generally looped ribbon shape, wherein a through passageway is formed when said multiple attachment portions are in an attached configuration.   
     
     
         2 . The object for adorning footwear of  claim 1 , wherein said object for adorning footwear is configured to be attached to a shoelace. 
     
     
         3 . The object for adorning footwear of  claim 1 , wherein said attachment comprises a knob-like protrusion formed to extend from one side of the main piece and at least one of a corresponding slit and/or hole for receiving said knob like protrusion. 
     
     
         4 . The object for adorning footwear of  claim 3 , wherein said knob-like protrusion is formed with the main piece. 
     
     
         5 . The object for adorning footwear of  claim 1 , wherein said attachment comprises a plurality of hook and loop type attachment means located on different sides of the main piece. 
     
     
         6 . The object for adorning footwear of  claim 1 , wherein said main piece has two spaced apertures formed through a wider flat surface of the main piece, and the attachment comprises an object separate from the main piece, which separate object comprises two spaced apart protrusions with a narrower joining section, which separate object will frictionally fit into the two apertures when the main piece is folded into a ribbon configuration with the two apertures aligned, which separate object will retain the main piece in the ribbon configuration. 
     
     
         7 . An object for adorning footwear comprising:
 a main piece with two arm sections that are angled apart from each other and composed of flexible, resilient material; and   an attachment configured for selectively attaching and detaching corresponding sections of said main piece to each other, in order to form said main piece into a generally looped ribbon shape, wherein a through passageway is formed when said multiple attachment portions are in an attached configuration.   
     
     
         8 . The object for adorning footwear of  claim 7 , wherein said attachment comprises a knob-like protrusion extending from one side of the main piece on a first arm section, and at least one of a corresponding slit and/or hole for receiving said knob like protrusion that is formed through a second arm section. 
     
     
         9 . The object for adorning footwear of  claim 8 , wherein said knob-like protrusion is formed with the main piece. 
     
     
         10 . The object for adorning footwear of  claim 7 , wherein said with two arm sections are diagonally angled at their free ends. 
     
     
         11 . An object for adorning footwear comprising:
 a main piece composed of flexible, resilient material preformed to have a generally ribbon-shaped configuration with a strip of material twisted one half turn to form a loop in a mid portion, with the strip crossing in an interface area, and with the strip having two free diagonally slanted ends extending below the loop and interface area, and   an attachment configured for selectively attaching and detaching corresponding sections of said main piece to each other in the interface area in order to retain said main piece into a generally looped ribbon shape, wherein a through passageway is formed through the loop when said attachment is engaged.   
     
     
         12 . The object for adorning footwear of  claim 11 , wherein said attachment comprises a knob-like protrusion formed to extend from one side of the main piece and at least one of a corresponding slit and/or hole for receiving said knob like protrusion that is spaced away from said protrusion. 
     
     
         13 . The object for adorning footwear of  claim 12 , wherein said knob-like protrusion is formed with the main piece.
