Proposal for a Self-Help Device for Tying Shoelaces One-Handed Using a Double Clip

I made a self-help device for a friend with one arm that lets them tie sneaker laces with one hand. It was designed to blend in with the look of the sneakers and be used like an accessory, and a double clip is used for durability. After a prototype with a clothespin, the shape and size were adjusted so the laces are easy to hold in place, resulting in a design that is easy to use even when out and about. Through this self-help device, I hope my friend can enjoy fashion and going out even more. *The title at the time of submission was "Eyeball Clip...", but since what is actually used is a double clip, the title was changed for publication.
