Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for closing two parts of a sports boot, in particular a ski boot, consisting of tensioning means secured to one of the parts of the boot and acting on cables fixed by one of their ends. to the other part of the shoe.
  • each cable is attached by its two ends to the upper ear of the shoe and forms a relatively short loop which passes through the notch of a tensioning lever mounted on the side of the shoe and pivoting in the plane of symmetry of the loop.
  • the tensioning lever being directed downwards, its length is limited by the height of the shoe in the region of the foot. It is therefore necessary to make a considerable effort to properly tighten the shoe, especially since the cable acts in two places simultaneously.
  • the lever also acts with the same force on the two clamping points, while the user would sometimes wish to differentiate the clamping pressure at the two cable attachment points.
  • the fine adjustment of the cable length that is to say the clamping force, is carried out by nuts at the fixing points of the ends of the cable.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a cable closure device capable of being closed with reduced force and in which the clamping forces can be adjusted individually for each cable attachment point.
  • the reduction of the effort required for the tension of each cable must also allow the simultaneous tension of several cables by the actuation of a single lever, that is to say by a single operation.
  • closure device according to the invention has the characteristics defined by claim 1. Particular embodiments of the invention appear in dependent claims 2 to 9.
  • the cable ends being independently attached to the tensioning lever, the distances from these points of attachment to the axis of articulation of the lever can be different, hence a differentiated action on the cables and it is also possible to adjust this tension individually.
  • the lever can be divided into two parallel levers which can be actuated independently of one another in a certain order, one of the levers being provided with an ear which simultaneously drives the other lever when it is closed.
  • the lever could be triple, quadruple, etc.
  • the double lever further increases the possibilities of adjusting the tightness to suit the skier.
  • the invention also relates to a ski boot equipped with a closure device according to claim 1.
  • the ski boot shown in Figure 1 consists, in a manner known per se, of a shell 1 of synthetic material forming the sole and surrounding the foot and the heel and on which is articulated a rod or cuff 2 closing at l 'front by means of a loop 3.
  • the shell 1 and the rod 2 house an inner lining or liner 4.
  • the top of the shell 1, on the foot, is formed by two ears 5 and 6 overlapping each other to ensure a good closing of the shell and to allow the tightening of the foot.
  • the means for closing the ears 5 and 6 and for clamping the foot consist of a tensioning lever 7 articulated on the rod 2, this lever acting on two traction cables 8 and 9 guided in guides 10 and 11 practiced in a extra thickness 12 of the shell and the ends of which are fixed to the upper ear 5 by means of anchoring studs 13 and respectively 14 embedded in the material of the ear 5.
  • the tensioning lever 7 is articulated on a base plate 15 fixed on the cuff 2 by means of a screw 16 simultaneously constituting the axis of articulation of the rod 2 on the shell 1.
  • the plate 15 is provided with two cheeks parallels 17 and 18 forming a stirrup on which the tensioning lever 7 is articulated. This is directed towards the rear, slightly obliquely upwards, approximately parallel to the lower edge of the rod 2.
  • the point of articulation of the lever tensioner 7 and its orientation make it possible to have a relatively long tension lever and in any case longer than the usual loops placed on the side of the foot and directed towards the sole, although the lever according to the invention can also be arranged like the usual loops.
  • the tensioning lever 7 has two parallel slots 19 and 20 opening onto its articulation, slots which allow the passage of cables 8 and 9 when the tensioning lever is raised as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the tensioner lever will be described in detail by means of Figures 2 to 6.
  • the tensioner lever 7 has a double U profile ( Figures 4 and 6), that is to say two lateral wings 21, 22 and a rib central 23.
  • the cables 8 and 9 are attached to the tensioning lever 7 by means of a nut 24, respectively 25 articulated respectively between each of the wings 21 and 22 and the central rib 23 by means of an axis 26, respectively 27.
  • These axes 26 and 27 are located at different distances from the articulation axis 28 of the tensioning lever on its support 15.
  • the cables 8 and 9 are retained on their nuts 24 and 25 by means of a cable head 29 , respectively 30, in the form of a threaded tube inside which is housed a threaded core 31 ( Figure 6) integral with the cable 8.
  • the cable 9 is fixed in the same way.
  • the nut 24 came in one piece with a cylindrical tip 32.
  • the nut 24 and its tip 32 are crossed by an elasticity slot 33 extending from the axis of the nut 24 to the end of the tip 32.
  • the end piece 32 is also tubular and communicates with a radial hole 34 through the nut 24 for the passage of the cable 8.
  • the end of the cylindrical part 29 located on the side of the nut 24 is not tapped ( Figure 3), but has a cylindrical housing for receiving the tip 32, the inlet 35 of this housing having a diameter less than the diameter of the housing and coming to hang in a groove 36 of the tip 32.
  • the cylindrical part 29 is fixed on the end piece 32 by snap-fastening and can rotate on this end piece.
  • the cable head 30 is produced in an identical manner. Since the cable 8 cannot rotate, its core 31 is also kept in rotation so that when the part 29 is rotated, the core 31 moves axially inside the part 29. The same is true for the cable 9. It is thus possible to modify the active length of the cables.
  • the lever 7 is moved away from the shoe as shown in FIG. 7.
  • the cable heads 27 and 30 can be moved away from the tensioning lever 7 as shown in FIG. 8.
  • the cable heads can be easily rotated by their knurled end 37 for adjusting the active length of the cables.
  • the cable heads 29 and 30 are folded down in the tensioning lever 7 in which they are held by two elastic tabs 38, respectively 39 cut out in the central rib 23.
  • the active length of the cables can therefore be adjusted individually for each cable although there is only one tensioning lever.
  • each of the axes 26 to 27 and the axis 28 of articulation of the lever are chosen so that the shortening of the cable 8 acting near the instep is substantially longer than the elongation, respectively the shortening of the cable acting near the end of the foot. It would of course be possible to multiply the clamping points and the cables, in particular to have a third cable actuated in the same way by the lever 7. The adjustment of the cable heads could in fact be done without removing the tubes 29 and 30 of the lever.
  • the outer wings of the tension levers 40 and 41 are articulated by means of pins riveted on the cheeks 17 and 18 of the base 15.
  • the cables 8 and 9 are attached to the tension levers 40 and 41 in the same manner as in the first form of execution; the cable 8 is attached to the lever 41 by a cable head 29, while the cable 9 is attached to the tensioning lever 40.
  • the tensioning lever 41 is provided with a lateral lug 43 extending parallel to the surface of this tensioning lever and coming to be embedded on a bearing 44 formed at the end of the other tensioning lever 40.
  • the tensioning levers 40 and 41 can therefore be actuated separately, except when the tensioning levers are secured by the 'ear 43 of the tensioning lever 41.
  • the two tensioning levers can be used as a single tensioning lever by acting on the tensioning lever 41 to closing and on the tensioning lever 40 or on the two tensioning levers 40 and 41 simultaneously, upon opening. It would be of course possible, according to the same principle, to have three or more parallel levers.
  • All the elements of the clamping means are preferably made of metal.
  • the clamping means consisting of a single tensioner lever or a double tensioner lever have been described by way of example for closing and tightening the foot but it would be possible to use identical means for closing and tightening another part of the shoe, for example closing the upper 2.
  • the cable heads could also be produced in another way.
  • the closure device according to the invention can be used for any sports shoe, for example for cross-country ski boots or for skating shoes.
