Abstract

A light reflecting tag for use on ends of a shoelace is made up of a transparent plastic plate, a light reflecting plate and a thin transparent film. The light reflecting plate has one side provided with faceful bead protrusions and the other side with adhesive glue. The side with bead protrusions is first adhered to an inner face of the transparent plastic plate and then the thin transparent film is stuck to the light reflecting on the side with adhesive glue and also to the inner face of the transparent plastic plate. Such an assembly produces a light reflecting tag plate which is then wrapped around ends of a shoelace, making a wearer of wearing a pair of shoes with shoelaces provided with light reflecting plates better protective from accidents when moving outdoors in the dark.
