ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for securing a shoe lace during intermediate stages of shoe lace tying as well as after tying is provided. First and second jaw members define a jaw opening and are adapted for mounting on a shoe with the jaw opening facing away from the shoe. At least one of the jaw members is displaceable away from the jaw opening and is biased closed. A portion of the periphery of at least one of the jaw members adjacent the jaw opening is inclined toward the jaw opening to define a camming surface for guiding the shoe lace to the jaw opening and for permitting the force of the shoe lace being pulled to displace the movable jaw member against the biasing force so that the shoe lace can enter and be retained in the apparatus. The jaw members can include a cavity to receive a knot and teeth at the periphery of the jaw opening for retaining the lace. The movable jaw member is mounted by an over center hinge permitting selective opening of the apparatus to release a knot.
