ABSTRACT:
A locking device is employed for receiving and removably retaining therein a stretchable or elastic lace. The locking device comprises a base member having generally parallel flat first and second principal surfaces. The first principal surface of the base member includes a pair of rib members and a pair of wall members with grooves formed therebetween. The locking device further includes a decorative cover member generally in the shape of and configured to simulate a three-dimensional character, figure, design, or object. The cover member has a generally flat first surface which includes a pair of rib members and a pair of wall members that form grooves therebetween. The base member is secured to the cover member with the respective first surfaces facing each other such that the rib members and grooves are aligned and the wall members are in engagement. The aligned rib members establish open areas of a size sufficient for passing portions of a stretched lace therethrough and the aligned grooves establish lace receiving areas large enough for receiving the stretched lace portions passing through the open areas but small enough to grip and hold the received lace portions when in an unstretched condition.
