ABSTRACT:
A speed lace structure for footwear that allows the footwear to be put on and tightened up quickly. The speed lace structure comprises lacer assemblies and rivet assemblies combinatively secured to a footwear quarter. Each lacer assembly is formed with a lacer loop portion having peripheral lips and with opposed fastening portions provided with central openings surrounded by a plurality of gripping teeth. Each lacer assembly is made of metal provided with a fine coating of a plastic, so as to render it smooth and very slippery. Each rivet assembly includes a capped eyelet serving as an anchoring stem to fit in and though the opposed central openings of the lacer assembly, and a deformable eyelet designed to fit into one of the opposed central openings and over the capped eyelet. When the lacer assembly and the rivet assembly combinatively are secured to a footwear quarter, the eyelet deforms about the fastening portion of the lacer assembly and also about the stem of the capped eyelet, and the end of the capped eyelet deforms about the deformable eyelet. Each rivet assembly also is made of metal, and is at least partly enamelled so as to render it smooth and non-corrosive. Preferably, the peripheral lips of the lacer assembly extend tangentially with the opposed fastening portions.
