Fastener for a lace or rope or the like

A device for removably securing a lace or the like molded from a flexible plastic material with memory comprising

• a substantially flat base;
• at least one fastener integral with and extending outwardly from said base, said fastener comprising;
• an upper wall;
• means integral with said wall and said base for flexibly interconnecting said wall to said base;
• a lip at the terminal end of said upper wall extending toward said base;
• a ridge extending integrally from said substantially flat base opposite said lip;
• at least one lace penetrating means secured within said means integral with said wall and extending toward said lip;
• a second fastener having parallel walls extending upwardly from said fastener with each wall terminating in lips adjacent each other;
• and
• at least one lace penetrating means in said second fastener.

A device for removably securing a lace or the like molded from a flexible plastic material with memory comprising

• a substantially flat base;
• a first fastener integral with and extending outwardly from the legs of said base;
• a second fastener integral with said base, said second fastener facing said first fastener, each of said fasteners comprising
• an upper wall;
• means integral with said wall and said base for flexibly interconnecting said wall to said base;
• a lip at the terminal end of said upper wall extending toward said base;
• a ridge extending integrally from said substantially flat base opposite said lip;
• and
• at least one lace penetrating means secured within said means integral with said wall and extending toward said lip.
