(11) Please refer to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, which are elevational view of an embodiment of the present disclosure, and elevational view and sectional side view of the embodiment of the present disclosure when viewed from another angle. A fastener body 1 includes a base 11 and an elastic arm 12, and the base 11 is made integrally by elastic material such as rubber or plastic. A side of the fastener body 1 is bent to from the elastic arm 12 suspended relative to the base 11. The following describes the main component and features of the fastener of the present disclosure.

(12) The base 11 of the fastener body 1 is provided with an insertion channel 110 formed therein, and the insertion channel 110 is formed with two through holes 111 cut through a side thereof, and a stop part 112 disposed between the two through holes 111. The insertion channel 110 is further provided with a hole 113 cut therethrough other side thereof, and two clamping blocks 114 protruded on two inside walls of two opposite sides thereof and adjacent to a side of the hole 113. The elastic arm 12 is extended and bent from a side of the base 11 adjacent to the hole 113, and suspended relative to the base 11, and the elastic arm 12 is provided with a hook part 121 formed at an end portion thereof and facing towards the base 11. A receiving space 120 is formed between an inner side of the elastic arm 12 and the base 11, and an opening 1201 is formed between an end portion of the hook part 121 and the base 11. A distance between the hook part 121 and the base 11 (that is, a size of the opening 1201) is shorter than an outer diameter of a rope 2.

(13) Please refer to FIGS. 4 through 7, which are first, second and third sectional side views of the fastener of the present disclosure assembled with the rope, and the schematic view of the usage status of the fastener of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the rope tail positioning fastener of the present disclosure is applied to a shoe body 3, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In actual application, the rope tail positioning fastener of the present disclosure can be applicable to clothes (such as garment, or overcoat), a bag (such as backpack or handbag), or other object which can be fastened by using the rope 2. The shoe body 3 includes a tongue part 32 formed at a vamp 31 thereof, and a plurality of eyelets 311 formed on two opposite sides of the vamp 31 corresponding in position to the tongue part 32 and arranged alongside. Tail parts 21 of two ends of the rope 2 are inserted into the eyelets 311 of the vamp 31 in sequential order. Next, the tail parts 21 of the two ends of the rope 2 are inserted into the through holes 111 of the base 11 respectively, and then out of the hole 113 at other side of the insertion channel 110 of the base 11, as shown in FIG. 4. After the tail parts 21 of the rope 2 is exposed out of the insertion channel 110, the two tail parts 21 are sewn by seam line to form a seam part 22, as shown in FIG. 5; and, after the seam part 22 is completed, the user can pull the rope 2 back to receive the two tail parts 21 and the seam part 22 of the rope 2 into the insertion channel 110 of the base 11, and not expose the two tail parts 21 and the seam part 22 out of the insertion channel 110, as shown in FIG. 6. The seam part 22 of the rope 2 can be stopped by the stop part 112 of the base 11, so the rope 2 can be held and positioned reliably inside the insertion channel 110 without loosening from or slipping out the fastener body 1 easily.

(14) Next, the rope 2 adjacent to a side of the elastic arm 12 is then inserted into the opening 1201 formed between the base 11 and the hook part 121 of the elastic arm 12. The distance between the base 1 and the hook part 121 (that is, the size of the opening 1201) is shorter than an outer diameter of the rope 2, and the fastener body 1 is formed integrally by rubber or plastic, so when the rope 2 pushes the end portion of the hook part 121, the elastic arm 12 can be elastically deformed to extent outwardly, to make the opening 1201 larger. After the rope 2 is inserted into the receiving space 120, the elastic arm 12 is recovered elastically, so that the hook part 121 of the elastic arm 12 is able to prevent the rope 2 from departing from the stowing space 120. As a result, the rope tail positioning fastener of the present disclosure can prevent the rope 2 from shaking while the user is walking or doing exercise, thereby improve user's safety.

(15) The two tail parts 21 of the rope 2 can be inserted into the insertion channel 110 through the through holes 111 of the base 11, and then exposed out of the hole 113 at the other side of the insertion channel 110; furthermore, each of the two tail parts 21 of the rope 2 is provided with the seam part 22 formed by seam line, so the user can pull back the rope 2 to receive and hide the seam part 22 and the two tail parts 21 of the rope 2 in the insertion channel 110 of the base 11, thereby making the entire shoe appear aesthetically appealing and fashionable. The two tail parts 21 of the rope 2 are combined and positioned with the fastener by the seam parts thereof, so the size of the fastener body 1 can be smaller and the material cost of the fastener of the present disclosure can be reduced, thereby making the fastener of the present disclosure more competitive.

(16) Furthermore, the base 11 of the fastener body 1 of the present disclosure is provided with clamping blocks 114 protruded on the inside walls of the two opposite sides of the insertion channel 110, respectively. When the rope 2 is received in the insertion channel 110, the rope 2 can be clamped by the two clamping blocks 114, so that the tail parts 21 of the rope 2 can be reliably positioned and hidden inside the insertion channel 110 without being exposed out of the insertion channel 110. As a result, while the user is walking or doing exercise, the tail part 21 of the rope 2 is not easy to slip out of the insertion channel 110 to swing freely, thereby preventing the user from stumble or accident due to the rope 2 being stepped by the user or hooked by other object, and further ensuring the user's safety.

(17) The above-mentioned embodiment is an example for illustration, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The main concept of the present disclosure is that the fastener body 1 is provided with the insertion channel 110 formed inside the base 11, and the two through holes 111 are formed at and cut through the side of the insertion channel 110, and the stop part 112 is formed between the two through holes 111. The hole 113 is located at and cut through the other side of the insertion channel 110, and the side of the base 11 adjacent to the hole 113 is bent and extended to form the elastic arm 12 suspended relative to the base 11; and, the rope 2 can be received in the insertion channel 110, and the two tail parts 21 of the rope 2 can be sewn to form the seam part 22 to be stopped at the stop part 112, so that the two tail parts 21 of the rope 2 can be positioned by the seam parts 22. As a result, the fastener body 1 can have smaller volume, thereby reducing the material cost of the fastener.

(18) The present disclosure disclosed herein has been described by means of specific embodiments. However, numerous modifications, variations and enhancements can be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure set forth in the claims.
