Abstract:
The invention is intended to provide silicone elastomer laces that are improved in terms of branding and/or ornamentation and/or tear strength and/or additional novel functions other than the mechanical properties and external appearance thereof, as well as a novel lacing solution. For this purpose, the invention relates first to a lace ( 1 ) for a shoe ( 2 ) equipped with a lace passage ( 3 ), the two edges ( 4, 5 ) of said passage having through-holes ( 7 ). The lace ( 1 ) essentially comprises at least one silicone elastomer that is at least partially cross-linked and includes one or more silicone polymers and fillers and, optionally, at least one of the following compounds: catalyst(s), cross-linking agent(s), pigment(s), parting agent(s), plasticiser(s), adhesion promoter(s). The lace is characterised in that it comprises, in the middle portion thereof, an identification zone ( 9 ) which is integral with the lace ( 1 ) and which, once the lace ( 1 ) has been passed through the through-holes ( 7, 7 i ) of the shoe ( 2 ), is intended to appear on the instep of the shoe ( 2 ), between the two lower through-holes ( 7 i ) located on either side, and at the base of, the lace passage ( 3 ) on the shoe ( 2 ). The invention also relates to a lace intended to be locked in place on the shoe ( 2 ) using a so-called “BlocKnot” plate ( 30 ) that is provided with multiple passages ( 20 ) for holding the lace ( 1 ) in place when the free ends of the strands ( 81 ) and ( 82 ) of the lace are interlaced through the passages ( 20 ) and gripped, preferably by passing the free ends of the strands ( 81 ) and ( 82 ) through the passages ( 20 ) in an alternating manner on the front and rear of the plate ( 30 ).

Claim (Index 22):
Lace ( 1 ) according to  claim 19 , wherein the word and/or figurative identity and/or publicity sign ( 10 ) is at least partially formed by impressions, hollow and/or in relief ( 16 ), and/or by ink printing, carried out on the visible outer face of the identity zone ( 9 ).
