Shoelace tying device

摘要

A shoelace tying device including a body member having an elongated clasp and a closure member. The elongated clasp includes a first end coupled to the closure member and a free second end. The elongated clasp further includes structure for securing the elongated clasp to laces of footwear. The closure member includes a free first end and a second end coupled to the first end of the elongated clasp. The first end of the closure member and the second end of the closure member are respectively provided with mating connecting members such that the closure member may be folded along a central section to bring the connecting member of the first end of the closure member into contact with the connecting member of the second end of the closure member for selectively coupling the first end of the closure member to the second end of the closure member to form an enclosure in which shoelaces maybe retained. In use, the elongated closure is coupled to the laces between eyelets of footwear to securely couple the shoelace tying device to the footwear, the laces are tied in a conventional manner adjacent the central section of the closure member and the closure member is folded over such that the first end of the closure member is selectively coupled to the second end of the closure member enclosing the tied laces within the space defined by the folded closure member. A method for tying shoelaces to prevent the lace from becoming untied is also disclosed.
