tubular shape therefore there is a room inside the tube and if the diameter of the core of the knobby portion is slightly greater than that of the ends the knobby portion extends to the room inside the tube upon passing through the hole hereby passing the hole having the same diameter as that of the ends in this regard by using the lace of the present invention where the diameter of the core of the knobby portion on the lace body was 7 mm and the diameters of the ends were 4 mm it was possible to make the lace pass through the hole having 4 mm diameter by putting the tension in the axial direction on the lace even in the state that the diameter of the core of the knobby portion was approximately 5 mm according to the lace having the configuration of the fifth embodiment in addition to the first embodiment the lace can smoothly passes through the hole fig1 is an enlarged view of a braided portion of a lace body of a sixth embodiment as show in fig9 the lace of the sixth embodiment is basically similar to that of the first embodiment and the lace body is braided at 45 degrees angle to the axial direction according to this feature the lace can smoothly passes through the hole the configuration of the lace of the sixth embodiment is basically similar to that of the first embodiment as described with reference to fig1 hereinafter description of difference in braiding angle of the lace body.
