<p>The invention relates to an anchoring element which is intended in general for cord-shaped elements that must be securely adjusted and fastened and which is particularly suitable for sports trousers and shoes. The inventive device consist of a structure comprising a support base (4) and a pair of stacked grooves (14,16) which are designed to house sections of a fastening tie (b). The lower groove forms a reel (12) which can accommodate an enveloping section of the tie (b) with retaining means (21), while the upper groove (16) is provided internally whit means (19) for threading and retaining the end of the same tie (b). Moreover, at the central part of the aforementioned support base (4), the reel (12) is equipped internally with a means (5) for anchoring one end of the tie (b), and the support base (4) comprises an outlet and an inlet (11,19) which can be alternated and through which the tie passes between the anchoring means and the eyelets of the lacing element. According to the invention, the first end (3) of the tie (b) is anchored in the anchoring means (5) of the support base (4). One section (22) of the tie (b) passes through a passage (10) and the outlet (9) towards the threading eyelets. Once in place, another section (23) of the tie (b) passes through the inlet (11) and forms an enveloping loop in the lower groove (14) of the reel (12), where it is held in position by retaining projections (21). The next section of the tie (b) is received in the upper groove (16) where it is acted upon by the above-mentioned threaded retaining means (19).</p> |
