Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de laçage rapide et efficace destiné en particulier aux chaussures mais qui peut également s'appliquer à d'autres articles tels que vêtements, ou sacs, nécessitant l'utilisation d'un lacet.The present invention relates to a quick and effective lacing device intended in particular for shoes but which can also be applied to other articles such as clothing, or bags, requiring the use of a lace.
On connaît déjà un dispositif de laçage dans lequel un lacet traverse une plaque métallique de retenue, mais ce dispositif est pratiquement inutilisable car le lacet est détérioré et scié par le bord métallique tranchant.There is already known a lacing device in which a lace passes through a metal retaining plate, but this device is practically unusable because the lace is damaged and sawn by the sharp metal edge.
Le but de l'invention est de permettre un laçage rapide et efficace de chaussures, vêtements, sacs ou analogues et un délaçage aisé en proposant un dispositif simple, très facile d'emploi et beaucoup plus solide que tous les dispositifs de laçage actuellement connus.The object of the invention is to allow rapid and efficient lacing of shoes, clothing, bags or the like and easy unlacing by providing a simple device, very easy to use and much more solid than all the lacing devices currently known.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de laçage pour articles du genre chaussures, vêtements, sacs ou analogues, constitué d'un lacet et d'au moins un organe de retenue en position serrée du lacet, caractérisé en ce que l'organe de retenue comprend une première rondelle en cuir ou analogue, percée d'au moins un trou et une seconde rondelle en caoutchouc également percée d'au moins un trou, les deux rondelles étant enfilées sur le lacet, la rondelle de cuir étant interposée entre l'autre rondelle et ledit article.To this end, the subject of the invention is a lacing device for articles such as shoes, clothing, bags or the like, consisting of a lace and at least one retaining member in the tight position of the lace, characterized in that the retaining member comprises a first leather washer or the like, pierced with at least one hole and a second rubber washer also pierced with at least one hole, the two washers being threaded on the lace, the leather washer being interposed between the other washer and said article.
Le serrage et le verrouillage du lacet est très rapide et efficace puisqu'il suffit de tenir d'une main l'extrémité du lacet sur laquelle sont enfilées les deux rondelles susdites et de plaquer ces dernières contre l'article à lacer.The tightening and locking of the lace is very fast and effective since it suffices to hold with one hand the end of the lace on which the two aforementioned washers are threaded and to press the latter against the article to be laced.
La rondelle de caoutchouc, dont le trou est réalisé au poinçon et non à l'emporte-pièce, retient l'autre rondelle contre l'article du fait qu'une partie de la masse de caoutchouc, autour du lacet, s'insère dans l'orifice pratiqué dans la rondelle de cuir ce qui bloque ainsi l'ensemble sur le lacet qui demeure serré.The rubber washer, the hole of which is made with a punch and not with a cookie cutter, holds the other washer against the article because part of the rubber mass, around the lace, is inserted into the hole made in the leather washer which thus blocks the assembly on the lace which remains tight.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description qui va suivre de modes de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention, description donnée à titre d'exemple uniquement et en regard du dessin annexé sur lequel :
- Figure 1 représente un lacet avec un organe de serrage conforme à l'invention ;
- Figure 2 représente un lacet pourvu à chaque bout d'un organe de serrage selon l'invention ;
- Figure 3 représente une vue de face de la rondelle de cuir dudit organe de serrage ;
- Figure 4 représente une vue de face de la rondelle de caoutchouc, et
- Figure 5 illustre en coupe les deux rondelles en position de blocage du lacet.
- Figure 1 shows a lace with a tightening member according to the invention;
- Figure 2 shows a lace provided at each end with a tightening member according to the invention;
- Figure 3 shows a front view of the leather washer of said clamping member;
- Figure 4 shows a front view of the rubber washer, and
- Figure 5 illustrates in section the two washers in the lace locking position.
Le dispositif de laçage selon l'invention comprend un lacet 1 de nature et de dimensions variables, muni à l'une de ses extrémités d'un organe d'arrêt 2, par exemple en métal ou en cuir et, à son autre extrémité, d'un bout ferré 3 ou analogue.The lacing device according to the invention comprises a
Sur l'extrémité côté bout ferré 3 du lacet 1 est enfilé un organe 4 de blocage en position serrée du lacet, constitué d'une première rondelle 5 accolée à une seconde rondelle 6.On the end of the
La première rondelle 5 est en cuir ou analogue et de préférence en cuir de tannage spécial au chrome très résistant et est interposée entre l'article à lacer (non représenté sur la Fig. 1) et la seconde rondelle 6.The
La rondelle 5 est percée d'un ou plusieurs trous adaptés à divers diamètres de lacet.The
La rondelle 6 est de préférence en caoutchouc pur très résistant à l'usure et est également percée d'un ou plusieurs trous réalisés au poinçon et non par enlèvement de matière.The
Les deux rondelles 5 et 6 peuvent avoir les mêmes dimensions (épaisseur et diamètre) ou des dimensions différentes. La rondelle de cuir 5 a par exemple 3 mm d'épaisseur et la rondelle de caoutchouc 6 a 2 mm d'épaisseur. En outre, les deux rondelles 5 et 6 sont solidaires ou non l'une de l'autre.The two
La Fig. 3 représente une rondelle de cuir 5 comportant trois trous 7 de différents diamètres et la Fig. 4 représente une rondelle de caoutchouc 6 avec trois trous 8 réalisés au poinçon dans l'axe des trous 7 de la rondelle de cuir 5.Fig. 3 represents a
La Fig. 2 représente un lacet 1 pour laçage croisé comportant deux bouts ferrés 3 et deux organes de serrage 4 enfilés chacun sur l'une des extrémités du lacet, les rondelles de cuir 5 étant tournées vers le centre du lacet.Fig. 2 shows a
La Fig. 5 illustre la manière dont les rondelles 5 et 6 retiennent le lacet 1 serré sur l'article 9.Fig. 5 illustrates the manner in which the
La paire de rondelles 5, 6 est plaquée contre la face de l'article 9 pendant que l'on tire sur l'extrémité de droite du lacet 1.The pair of
Le lacet 1 est étranglé au passage dans le trou 8 de la rondelle de caoutchouc 6.The
Lorsqu'on relâche la traction sur le lacet, ce dernier a tendance à entraîner avec lui dans l'orifice du trou 7 de la rondelle de cuir 5 une partie 10 de la masse de caoutchouc entourant le lacet ce qui bloque élastiquement par coincement le lacet.When the traction is released on the lace, the latter tends to entrain with it in the orifice of the
L'article 9 à lacer est en particulier une chaussure. Le lacet, qu'il s'agisse du mode de réalisation de la Fig. 1 ou de celui de la Fig. 2, est passé dans les oeillets suivant les diverses façons de lacer connues, les rondelles 5, 6 étant bien entendu enfilées sur le lacet après sa mise en place et plaquées contre le dernier oeillet du côté intérieur de la chaussure de préférence pour pouvoir masquer la ou les extrémités du lacet à l'intérieur de la chaussure latéralement au pied. Cette dernière manière de procéder améliore d'ailleurs le blocage du lacet.The article 9 to be laced is in particular a shoe. The lace, whether it is the embodiment of FIG. 1 or that of FIG. 2, is passed through the eyelets in the various known ways of lacing, the
L'invention s'applique à tout article susceptible d'être lacé quel que soit le mode de laçage et le type de lacet.The invention applies to any article capable of being laced whatever the lacing mode and the type of lace.
Enfin, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation représenté et décrit ci-dessus mais en couvre au contraire toutes les variantes notamment en ce qui concerne les natures et dimensions des deux rondelles associées de retenue du lacet.Finally, the invention is not limited to the embodiment shown and described above but on the contrary covers all the variants thereof. ment with regard to the natures and dimensions of the two associated shoelace retaining washers.
