Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for closing two parts of a boot, in particular a sports boot and more particularly a ski boot, comprising a toothed belt with ratchet teeth intended to be fixed to one of the parts of the shoe, a stirrup provided with a pawl intended to be made integral with the other part of the shoe and in which the toothed belt can slide and is retained in one direction by the pawl, and a tensioning lever.
  • a device of this type is used in many ski boots.
  • the stirrup provided with the pawl is fixed by means of rivets on one of the parts of the shoe, while the toothed belt is fixed at an intermediate point of a tensioning lever articulated by one end on the other part of the shoe.
  • the toothed belt replaces the loop of the previous devices which hung on a hook secured to the other part of the shoe.
  • the user wishes to close his shoe, he must introduce the end of the toothed belt into the stirrup fitted with the pawl.
  • he must generally hold the stirrup with one hand and the strap with the other hand.
  • This operation is not always very convenient, in particular when the closure device closes, from behind, the two-part upper of a ski boot.
  • the toothed belt can move away from the shoe and catch on a foreign object.
  • the present invention aims to facilitate the closure of a closure device as defined above.
  • the closure device according to the invention is characterized in that the stirrup is permanently on the toothed belt and that the tensioning lever is articulated on the stirrup and ensures the permanent connection of the stirrup to the other part of the shoe.
  • the stirrup being permanently on the toothed belt, the user no longer needs to search for the entry of this stirrup with the end of the toothed belt. He can close the shoe with one hand.
  • the tensioning lever is articulated on the stirrup by one end and it is connected by an intermediate point to the other part of the shoe.
  • the pawl has an auxiliary spout in the direction of the axis of articulation of the lever on the stirrup and the tensioner lever has an extension beyond its axis of articulation on the stirrup , an extension in the shape of a curved finger in the direction of the toothed belt and of the pawl, so that after the opening of the tensioning lever said finger comes to drive the pawl by its auxiliary spout away from the toothed belt.
  • the ratio of the lever arms is such that after opening the tensioning lever, the pawl can be lifted without any apparent effort, which can be useful if the spring of the pawl is relatively strong and it is then more difficult to release the pawl by pressing your finger.
  • the device is also arranged in such a way that the finger of the tension lever does not meet the auxiliary spout of the pawl until after the tensioner lever has fully opened, so as not to prevent the work of the pawl during closing, this is ie when the caliper slides on the toothed belt, which generally operates in an intermediate position of the tensioning lever. During this maneuver, the pawl must indeed retain the toothed belt.
  • the boot shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is a ski boot of the rear boot type. It consists in a known manner of a shell 1 of synthetic material comprising the sole and surrounding the heel and on which is articulated a rod in two parts, a front part 2 articulated on the shell 1 on one side at a point 3 and on the other side at an opposite point, and a rear part 4 hinged at 5 on the shell so that it can be moved away from part 2 towards the rear to open the boot and allow the introduction of the foot.
  • the shoe further comprises an inner padded liner 6 the upper of which is also split so as to allow the opening of the liner with the upper of the shoe.
  • the upper of the shoe can be kept closed by a closing device 7.
  • the shoe can also comprise a device for tightening the foot, not shown.
  • the closing device 7 comprises a toothed belt 8 made of relatively hard synthetic material fixed on one of the sides of the front part 2 of the rod by means of a rivet 9. On this toothed belt 8 is mounted a metal bracket 10 between the wings of which a pawl 11 is articulated around an axis 12. The toothed belt 8 passes between the bottom of the stirrup and the spout of the pawl 11 held in abutment against the belt by a torsion spring not shown mounted around axis 12 in a well known manner.
  • the toothing of the toothed belt 8 is a ratchet tooth toothing, that is to say having a very oblique flank and a flank approximately perpendicular to the belt, so that it is possible to move the stirrup 10 relative to the belt 8 towards the rivet 9, the pawl 11 sliding and jumping on the teeth.
  • the pawl 11 is opposed to a movement in the other direction, but it is possible to move the stirrup 10, respectively the belt 8, by disengaging the pawl 11 from the teeth of the belt 8, by pressing on the other end 11a of the pawl.
  • the free end of the toothed belt 8 has a widening 13 preventing the toothed belt 8 from escaping from the stirrup 10.
  • this tensioning lever 14 On the stirrup 10 is also articulated the end of a tensioning lever 14 around an axis 15. In its middle part, this tensioning lever 14 is articulated to a lug 16 of the front part 2 of the upper of the shoe by means of two axes 17 and 18. The lug 16 has a notch 19 in which can engage the tensioner lever 8 with the caliper 10.
  • the skier presses on the arm 11a of the pawl 11 and pulls on the toothed belt 8, generally up to the stop 13.
  • the toothed belt 8 is long enough to allow wide opening. shoe size.
  • After putting on the skier closes the rod by first pressing on the tab 16 of the front part 2 in the direction of the arrow F1, FIG. 3, and retaining the toothed belt 8.
  • the stirrup 10 then moves along of the toothed belt 8 towards the rivet 9.
  • the free end 13 of the toothed belt engages under the tab 16 in a groove 20 provided for this purpose inside the tab 16.
  • the closure is tightened by means of the tensioning lever 14 by folding this tensioning lever down on the toothed belt 8 in the direction of the arrow F2, FIG. 3.
  • the closed shoe is shown in FIG. 2. It can be seen in this figure that the toothed belt 8 is practically entirely hidden and protected on the one hand by the tensioning lever 14 and on the other hand by the tab 16 of the rod.
  • the shoe shown in Figures 5 to 7 is a shoe with a top fitting. It consists, in known manner, of a shell 20 of synthetic material comprising the sole and surrounding the heel and on which is articulated at a point 21 a rod 22 in one part closing at the front by a flap 23, at by means of a closure device 24.
  • the shoe further comprises an inner padded liner 25 whose upper is split so as to allow the introduction of the foot.
  • This shoe may also include a device for tightening the foot or the instep, not shown.
  • the closing device 24 comprises a toothed belt 26 with ratchet teeth, of relatively hard synthetic material fixed by one of its ends to the rod 22 by means of a rivet 27.
  • a stirrup 28 of metal between the wings of which a pawl 29 is articulated about an axis 30 mounted at the end of the stirrup located on the side of the point of attachment 27 of the toothed belt.
  • the toothed belt 26 passes between the bottom of the stirrup 28 and the double spout 31 of the pawl held in abutment against the toothed belt by a torsion spring not shown mounted around the axis 30 in a known manner.
  • the ratchet teeth of the toothed belt 26 is such that it is possible to move the stirrup 28 in the manner of a cursor along the toothed belt 26 in the direction of the rivet 27, the pawl 29 sliding and jumping on the teeth of the toothed belt. against by the pawl 29 is opposed to a displacement in the other direction.
  • the free end 32 of the toothed belt has a widening such that the belt cannot escape from the stirrup 28.
  • a tension lever 33 Near the end of the stirrup 28 opposite the axis 30 is articulated a tension lever 33 around an axis 34. This tension lever is further articulated in a notch 35 of the flap 23 by means of a axis 36.
  • This tensioning lever 33 consists of a U-shaped metal part covering the stirrup 28. The tensioning lever 33 has an extension beyond its articulation axis 34 on the stirrup in the form of finger 37 bent in the direction of the toothed belt 26 and the pawl 29.
  • the closure device described above can be used to close any part of a sports shoe or the like.
