An elastically deformable braided string whose intermediate part excluding both end areas can deform elastically in the direction of axis under an external pulling force, wherein the intermediate part is divided into/constituted by multiple areas having different tensile moduli in the direction of axis. The above elastically deformable braided string can be applied for various purposes.

A elastically deformable string includes an outer layer and a core material placed inside the outer layer, wherein the outer layer has knob parts that are constituted by loosely woven outer layer yarns and elastically deformable, and link parts that are constituted by densely woven outer layer yarns and have a smaller diameter than the knob parts, wherein the loosely woven outer layer yarns are woven more loosely than are the densely woven outer layer using same yarns, and the core material is constituted by a stretchable string and placed inside the knob parts in a slackened and/or meandering state. The elastically deformable string is suitable for shoes, for example, as a shoelace which does not require knots.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an elastically deformable string that does not require a knot, wherein the string is restored after deformation with a stronger elastic force. This string comprises an outer layer and a core member arranged inside the outer layer. The outer layer is configured from a node part in which yarns for the outer layer are sparsely interwoven, and a connecting part that is formed by densely interweaving yarns for the outer layer and that is smaller in diameter than the node part, the node part of the outer layer being elastically deformable. The core member is configured from a string having elasticity, and is arranged inside the node part so as to loosen and/or meander.

The present invention is a braid in which an intermediate section excluding the left and right end regions is capable of elastic deformation in the axial direction due to an external tensile force. The intermediate section is constituted by being divided into a plurality of regions having different moduli of tensile elasticity in the axial direction, thereby serving as an elastically deformable braid that is applicable for various uses.

In a conventional string with knobby portions, the diameters of the knob portions are substantially the same over the entire length of the string and therefore difficulty is involved when inserting all of the knobby portions into a string hole, as a large force is required and the task may cause pain in the fingers and hands. Moreover, if the string suddenly needs to be replaced, the installation requires time and effort to be expended. The present invention is characterized in that a string is provided with a plurality of elastically deformable knobby portions disposed at intervals in the axial direction, wherein the knobby portions are configured from two or more types of knobby portions having different diameters in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the string.
In the conventional lace with knobby portions having elastic rubber core, there is difference in degree of stretch between both ends and core of the knobby portion. Therefore, there are a portion that is subjected to heavy stretching force and a portion that is subjected to no stretching force, and when large strain is accumulated at the boundary between the portions subjected to different stretching forces and the strain reaches the limit, the lace ruptures. In order to solve the above problem, we provide a lace provided with tubular lace body of elastic material, comprising knobby portions repeatedly placed at intervals, of which diameter vary depending on tension on the knobby portion in an axial direction.
A conventional cord having bulges is provided with an elastic rubber core and exhibits a difference in elongation or contraction between the rubber part corresponding to the end of each bulge and the rubber part corresponding to the center thereof. Namely, a part which undergoes severe elongation and contraction and a part which does not undergo elongation or contraction coexist in the elastic core. Therefore, a high strain is accumulated in the boundary region between both parts, so that the core results in rupture when the strain reaches a limit. Such a conventional cord is disadvantageous in that a relatively weak material such as rubber is unavoidably subjected to operation causative of strain accumulation. The present invention is a cord provided with a tubular cord body that is made of a stretchable material and that has bulges which are repeatedly arranged with spaces thereamong and the diameters of which change in dependence on the axial tension applied to the cord body.
