ABSTRACT:
A reflective lace, such as a shoelace, used for night visibility, and a method of manufacture, is provided by affixing a flexible reflective attachment near the end portion thereof. Preferably, the reflective attachment comprises a thermoplastic tube with a reflective outer coating which is drawn over the end portion of the lace and heat-fused to the outside surface of the lace near the end portion. The article and method of manufacture provides a reflective lace which includes the desirable characteristics of a standard lace and which eliminates unused reflective material present in past designs.
