Shoelace fastener

Abstract

A shoelace fastener is fixed on a vamp of a shoe for wearing shoelace and comprises two longitudinal seats each having a slider slidably mounted thereon for wearing shoelace. The slider has a spring-like structure. The slider has a front end fixed on a front end of the seat and a rear end. The shoelace is tightened when the slider is positioned after stretching.

1 . A shoelace fastener comprising:
 two seats respectively adapted to be fixed on a camp of a shoe, the two seats parallel to each other and respectively correspond to two opposite sides of a shoe tongue, a groove longitudinally defined in the seat, wherein the groove is inverted T-shaped, the seat having a front end and a rear end, wherein the front end is closed and the rear end is opened from mounting the slider, the seat having a cone-shaped protrusion upwardly extending from the front end thereof and the protrusion has an indentation defined therein and communicating with the groove, the seat having a kook formed on the rear end thereof; and   two sliders each respectively slidably mounted to a corresponding one of the two seats, the slider having a spring-like structure and a front end formed with a ring that is sleeved on the protrusion, a snapper extending through the protrusion and engaged to the ring to prevent the slider from detaching from the protrusion, the slider including a rear end having a through hole defined therein, multiple resilient plates radially extend from an inner periphery of the through hole for positioning a limiter, one end of the limiter slidably received in the groove to make the rear end being moved only along the groove, a tongue extending from the rear end of the slider and having an aperture defined therein, the slider including multiple inner corners each formed with a hook portion for sewing shoelace and outer corners each formed with a slide portion for mounting a guider, a holder having two opposite ends respectively fixed to a corresponding one of the two apertures and is selectively hooked by the two hooks for tightening the shoelace.   
     
     
         2 . The shoelace fastener as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the slide portion has a C-shaped groove defined in top portion thereof, and an indentation centrally and longitudinally defined therein. 
     
     
         3 . The shoelace fastener as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the snapper includes a base slidably received in the groove and a head abutting against to a distal edge of the ring, a first stem having two opposite ends respectively and centrally connected to the base and the head. 
     
     
         4 . The shoelace fastener as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the limiter includes a base slidably received in the groove and a head positioned in the through hole after passing through the resilient plates, a second stem having two opposite ends respectively and centrally connected to the base and head of the limiter, and linearly moved along the groove. 
     
     
         5 . The shoelace fastener as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the guider includes a base slidably received in the groove and a head positioned in a corresponding one of the multiple slide portions, the head of the guider having an annular rib downward extending therefrom and received in the C-shaped groove in the corresponding slide portion, a third stem having two opposite ends respectively and centrally connected to the base and the head of the guider, and linearly moved along the groove.
