ABSTRACT:
A fastener for tying together a pair of shoelace eyelets on a shoe upper in such a way as to maintain the appropriate spacing therebetween while the shoe upper is being lasted. In one embodiment, the fastener is a unitary plastic member shaped to include an elongated flexible filament having a cross-bar at one end and a paddle at the opposite end, the paddle being provided with two or more alternative openings through which the cross-bar may be inserted to form a loop. The openings are preferably disposed at different points along the length of the paddle so that the different sized loops may be used for different eyelet spacings. In another embodiment, a feed bar is severably connected to the fastener for use in positioning the paddle so that the cross-bar may be aligned with and easily inserted into a desired cross-bar opening. Alternatively, the paddle may be provided with registration means. To attach the fastener to a pair of eyelets of a shoe upper, the paddle is positioned so that a desired opening is aligned with one of the eyelets. The filament is then drawn over the upper to the other eyelet, and the cross-bar is inserted first through the pair of eyelets and then through the desired opening in the paddle.
