Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an adjustable buckle for mounting on relatively movable portions of a sport boot comprising a catch adapted to be mounted on one of the movable portions, a latch adapted to be mounted on the other of the movable portions, said latch carrying hook means coupled to the latch via ratchet means and including manually operable pawl means to permit adjustment of the hook means relative to the latch.
  • a buckle comprising a latch with couplet to a hook via ratchet means is known from FR-A-2.475.372.
  • a pawl attached directly to the hook is meshing with teeth provided on the upper face of the latch.
  • For adjusting this buckle in order to release the tension it is necessary to press on the pawl.
  • this pawl is mounted between two side walls of the latch this operation is not easy.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an adjustable buckle for sports boots which can be more easily and quickly adjusted. This is achieved by the features combined in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • This buckle can be adjusted more easily than the buckle according to the prior art because the two pawls can be pressed together between thumb and index-finger to free the shaft and permit shifting the hook means along the shaft.
  • a sports boot 10 here shown as a ski boot, normally formed of a suitable plastic, includes a boot lower 11, a boot upper or cuff 12, secured by rivets 13 to the lower 11. Movable portions or flaps 14, 15, and 16, 17, are respectively formed on the lower 11 and upper 12.
  • Four buckles 18 are provided to close the ski boot 10. Each of the buckles 18 includes a catch 19 formed with teeth 19a for macro-adjustments of the buckle, and a latch 20, on the overlapping boot flaps.
  • a hooking wireform 21 is suitably attached as shown to a carrier 22.
  • a shaft 23 coupled by ratchet means' 60, described hereinafter, to the carrier 22, is pivoted by pin 24 to latch handle 25.
  • An internal spring 27a maintains the latch closed against the boot and aids in positioning the wireform in the catch 19.
  • the adjustable feature of the boot buckle is shown in greater detail in Figure 3.
  • the rectangular shaft 23 is formed with teeth 28 cut in channels 29 on opposite sides of the shaft.
  • Pawls 30 provided with teeth 31 formed to mesh with the teeth 28, are pivoted on pins 32 in the carrier 22.
  • Handles 33 adapted to be manually operated by the boot wearer, pivot the pawls to disengage the teeth 31 from the teeth 28, thereby permitting the carrier to be moved with respect to the shaft 23.
  • Springs 34 bias the pawls 30 into engagement with the shaft 23.
  • Slot 35 in a web 36 of the carrier 22 guides movement of the shaft 23 in the carrier. Note that with this arrangement, the carrier 22 and wireform 21 can be moved somewhat off center with respect to the shaft 23, thereby permitting better seating of the wireform 21 in the catch 19 when the latch and catch are not aligned with the boot closed.
  • one of the teeth 19a is selected from macro-adjustment of the boot tension.
  • the buckle is then released by handle 25, and the pawls 33 are operated to slide the carrier 22 along the shaft 23 to provide for micro-adjustment of the boot tension.
  • FIG. 4 A modified form of the inventive adjustment feature is shown in Figure 4 in which elements corresponding to those in Figure 3 are designated by primed numerals.
  • a rectangular shaft 23' is formed with angled teeth 28' in channels 29'.
  • Pawls 30' include teeth 31' mating with the teeth 28'.
  • the buckle shown in Figures 5-7 include a number of parts similar to and identified by the same reference numerals as the buckle in Figure 2, but also includes a curved shaft 38 provided with teeth 39 in grooves 40 (Fig. 6). An enlarged portion 38a extending into the handle 25.
  • the grooves 40 are configured to provide convex surfaces 41 and angled surfaces 42 for cooperating with teeth 43 on the pawls 44.
  • the pawls are mounted similarly to the pawls 33 shown in detail in Fig. 3, and cooperate with the teeth 39.
  • a carrier 45 includes upper and lower portions 46 and 47.
  • the center of the upper portion 46 and lower portion 47 is formed to provide enlargements 46a and 47a to provide a guide housing for the shaft 38. These provide interior surfaces 46b and 47b cooperating with surfaces 38a on the shaft 28 to permit limited rotational or twisting movement-of the shaft with respect to the carrier. Depressed surfaces 46c and 47c limit the amount of rotation and movement. Note that the pawl teeth 43 are smaller than the channels 40 to permit such rotational movement. This arrangement also permits a limited amount of movement of the carrier to and from with respect to the axis of the shaft 38. Other desired tooth arrangements may be used for the ratchet device of the fastener, depending upon the particular alignment requirements of the latches and catches on the flaps of the boots.
  • a curved hooking device 48 contoured to the boot surface, includes arms 49 pivoted by pin 50 to the carrier 45.
  • a hook 51 on the end of the hooking device 48 is selectively engageable with teeth 19a of the latch 19.
  • the adjustable fastener of Figures 5-7 provides macro-adjustments through selection of the teeth 19a engaged by the hooking device 48, and micro-adjustment by manual operation of the pawls 44 to permit movement of the carrier along the shaft 38.
