An inductor includes a coil having a plurality of coil patterns and external electrodes connected thereto. An innermost coil pattern and an outermost coil pattern in the coil grow using first and second insulating wall as growth guides and the inductor has a structure in which there is no deviation in thickness and shape between the coil patterns.

Devices and method are disclosed for provision of a quick release lacing system for shoes. A lace is fitted with a releasable connector that can be activated manually or automatically to disconnect the laces, allowing the wearer to then pull the laces party or fully off the shoe in a single movement. Such tools are particularly useful for sporting and tactical shoes, wherein the wearer may have a need to quickly extract their foot from the shoe, such as in an emergency situation.

A shoelace system includes an elastic shoelace having a first end and a second end, and a T-bar attachment attached to the first end. The T-bar attachment is rotatable such that the T-bar attachment anchors the first end of the shoelace to an eyelet of a shoe when the elastic shoelace is pulled through that eyelet. The shoelace system further includes a fastening bracket having one or more openings. Each of the one or more openings has a plurality of inward-facing projections for receiving the second end of the elastic shoelace. The fastening bracket secures the second end of the shoelace in place after the second end is threaded through the one or more openings of the fastening bracket.

A shoelace includes a tubular body woven by first threads, second threads, third threads, and fourth threads. Each first thread and each second thread are made of TPU. Each third thread and each fourth thread are made of polyester. Each first thread and each third thread are left-handed helices. Each second thread and each fourth thread are right-handed helices. Each first thread is parallel to each third thread. Each second thread is parallel to each fourth thread. The first threads and the third threads are alternately arranged. The second threads and the fourth threads are alternately arranged and are woven with the first threads and the third threads. Each first thread and each second thread have a smaller denier than that of each third thread and each fourth thread.

A shoelace system for an article of footwear may include an elastic shoelace having a metal tip with a rounded-rectangle cross section. Corresponding eyelets of the footwear have a similarly shaped opening. In some examples, the shoelace tip is configured to pass through the opening of the eyelet in only one orientation. In some examples, manufacturing the shoelace includes inserting the lace into a hollow tip and then stamping the tip into the desired shape.
