Abstract

A shoelace with variable decoration members includes a shoelace, and two decoration members wherein both ends of the shoelace have an engagement piece made of plastics of soft metal attached thereto respectively. The engagement piece includes a number of tapered registration portions consecutively defining the outer periphery thereof, indented arc guide facets dividing each registration portion from the others thereof, and a conic guide portion disposed at the end thereon. And the decoration member is provided with an engaging groove having a thin flexible guide ring defining the opening end thereon, a number of consecutive tapered registration cavities and protruded arc stop facets alternatively formed at the inner wall therein, and a conic engaging section disposed at the end thereof, via which the decoration members thereof are securely coupled with the engagement piece thereof. Besides, the decoration members thereof attached at both ends of the shoelace are easily pulled by force to detach the engaging grooves thereof from the engagement piece for replacement of decoration members of different design such as fruit or balls, etc., achieving more variable decoration effect of the shoelace to suit the style of a user and boost the competitive power of the present invention in the market.
