The lace-protector fulfills 2 functions. On one hand the laces slide over the polished metall-parts, which prevent at longer terms the wear-out of the laces. On the other hand
the metall-parts protect the fabric-surface against the laces. Not only in case of high-quality brocades this protec- tion is an enourmous advantage. In addition it facilitates self-lacing, because the friction is substantially decreased.
The two metall-parts are fixed in the corset by the eyes that are anyway existing within this range. There are no additional holes necessary.
The lace-protector/fabric-surface-protector in its shown form is available since the beginning of 2005 and has found numerous proponents since that time.
