Woven cloth with shoelace loops

Woven cloth with shoelace loops is formed by a plurality of longitudinal threads and a plurality of lateralwise threads. Each of the plurality of longitudinal thread is woven by a plurality of filaments. Each of the plurality of lateralwise thread is interwoven with and ties the plurality of longitudinal threads to form a plurality of knots. At least a part of the longitudinal threads are continuously and integrally connected to form a plurality of curved back lace loops each sized for a lace or a buckle to dispose therethrough.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to woven cloth with shoelace loops.

Description of the Prior Art

Recently, people are fastidious about the quality of life, and comfortableness of shoes such fitness, weight, ventilation and fashion design, for example, is purchased and improved.

Generally, a shoe includes a sole and an upper. The upper is connected to the sole and form a room for wearing of a foot thereinto. The upper is generally provided with eyelets disposed therethrough, and the eyelets are for a shoelace to dispose therethrough so as to adjust the room to fit the foot. However, the conventional eyelets are formed by directly penetrating the upper, which damages and degrades the structure of the upper so that the upper can be broken easily due to the tension of the shoelace. Besides, the conventional eyelets are an additional member additionally attached to the upper, thus being easy to detach from the upper.

The present invention is, therefore, arisen to obviate or at least mitigate the above mentioned disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to provide woven cloth with shoelace loops which are made integrally therewith.

To achieve the above and other objects, woven cloth with shoelace loops is provided. The woven cloth with shoelace loops is formed by a plurality of longitudinal threads and a plurality of lateralwise threads. Each longitudinal thread is woven by a plurality of filaments. Each of the plurality of lateralwise thread is interwoven with and ties the plurality of longitudinal threads to form a plurality of knots. At least a part of the longitudinal threads are continuously and integrally connected to form a plurality of curved back lace loops each sized for a lace or a buckle to dispose therethrough.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

FIGS. 1-2show woven cloth with shoelace loops according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. The woven cloth with shoelace loops1is formed by a plurality of longitudinal threads (such as warp threads)10and a plurality of lateralwise threads (such as weft threads)20, each of the plurality of longitudinal threads10is woven by a plurality of filaments, the plurality of longitudinal threads10are arranged in parallel and distanced from one another, the plurality of lateralwise threads20are distanced from one another, the plurality of longitudinal threads10and the plurality of lateralwise threads20are interwoven to form a plurality of meshes30, each of the plurality of lateralwise threads20is interwoven with and ties the plurality of longitudinal threads10to form a plurality of knots40, each of the plurality of knots40is disposed between adjacent two of the meshes30, and at least a part of the plurality of longitudinal threads10is continuously and integrally connected to form a plurality of curved back lace loops50each sized for a lace2, a buckle or the like, to dispose therethrough. Whereby, the woven cloth with shoelace loops1includes the plurality of curved back lace loops50which are made integrally therewith. As a result, the woven cloth with shoelace loops1is strong, uneasy to be worn out, ventilative, flexible and stretchable and light-weight. The woven cloth with shoelace loops1may be additionally attached to or integrally formed with an upper of a shoe.

Every adjacent two of the plurality of curved back lace loops50are arranged with at least one of the plurality of longitudinal threads10therebetween. In this embodiment, every adjacent two of the plurality of curved back lace loops50are arranged, therebetween, with two of the plurality of longitudinal threads10which are continuously curved back and integrally connected with each other, for the shoelace2to dispose therethrough easily.

Each of the plurality of longitudinal threads10is greater than each of the plurality of lateralwise threads20in outer diameter. Preferably, each of the plurality of longitudinal threads10has an outer diameter greater than 3 times an outer diameter of each of the plurality of lateralwise threads20. Preferably, the outer diameter of each of the plurality of longitudinal threads10is between 0.10 cm to 0.30 cm, and the outer diameter of each of the plurality of lateralwise threads20is between 0.01 cm to 0.10 cm. Preferably, a single thread is zigzagged to form the plurality of longitudinal threads10, thus providing good strong structure, being uneasy to break or disengage from the plurality of lateralwise threads20. Additionally, each of the plurality of longitudinal threads10and each of the plurality of lateralwise threads20are orthogonally interwoven, thus providing good support.

Each of the plurality of longitudinal threads10is greater than each of the plurality of lateralwise threads20in extensibility. The plurality of longitudinal threads10with relatively high extensibility provide good flexibility and stretchability, while the plurality of lateralwise threads20with relatively low extensibility can hold the plurality of longitudinal threads10in position. In this embodiment, each of the plurality of longitudinal threads10includes 8 to 32 of the filaments, each of the plurality of longitudinal threads10has a denier of 100 to 500, and each of the plurality of lateralwise threads20has a denier of 200 to 800.

The plurality of longitudinal threads10may have various intervals so that the plurality of lateralwise threads20are arranged in different regions with different densities, which can provides a plurality of regions with various stretchabilities and extensibilities and various visual effects.

The plurality of longitudinal threads10and the plurality of lateralwise threads20may be different in color, to show various designs and visual effects.

FIGS. 3 and 4show a second preferred embodiment according to the present invention. As compared with the first preferred embodiment, each of the plurality of curved back lace loops50has a buckle hole51larger than the meshes30, for the shoelace2to dispose therethrough easily. The buckle hole51of each of the plurality of curved back lace loops50is larger than at least 1.5 times the meshes30, to increase stretchability and extensibility of each of the plurality of curved back lace loops50. As shown inFIG. 4, for example 4, each of the plurality of curved back lace loops50can stretch from one side of the shoe to hang on the buckle3on an opposite side of the shoe.

FIGS. 5-7show a third preferred embodiment according to the present invention. As compared with the first preferred embodiment, the plurality of curved back lace loops50include two different loop sizes, in which some of the plurality of curved back lace loops50are long and some of the plurality of curved back lace loops50are short, as the plurality of curved back lace loops50a,50bshown inFIG. 5. In other embodiment, the plurality of curved back lace loops50may have the same loop sizes. Preferably, the plurality of curved back lace loops50include at least one lace loop group50c, and each lace loop group50cincludes at least two different loop sizes. For example, the lace loop group50cincludes a plurality of curved back lace loops50awhich are short and a plurality of curved back lace loops50bwhich are long according to various requirements.
