Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lace tightening device usable more particularly on a shoe and in particular a sports shoe.
  • the lace tightening devices comprise hooking and / or guiding members of the lace which are fixed respectively on two parts to be brought closer and / or to be tightened one against the other by defining a lacing plane.
  • These hooking and / or guiding members are constituted by eyelets, loops, rivets, loops, etc. which are distributed along the edges of the two parts to be laced together.
  • the hooking and / or guiding members of the lace define a lace passage opening which is either contained in the lacing plane, or perpendicular to this plane.
  • the lace passes alternately above and below the successive eyelets.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of known lace tightening devices by providing a device in which the lace fastening members make it possible to maintain the latter in the lacing position, in particular when it is loose, while ensuring its passing flat, therefore with a minimum of friction, in a simple, effective and inexpensive manner.
  • this lace tightening device comprising, along the edge of each of two parts to be brought together and / or tightened one against the other, a succession of eyelets crossed one after the other by the lace, the two opposite sets of eyelets being in the same lacing plane also containing the lace passing through the successive eyelets, is characterized in that each eyelet is contained in a plane which is inclined relative to the lacing plane of a angle such that when passing through the eyelet the lace is in contact with it only at two opposite points distant from each other in the longitudinal direction of the lace.
  • the lace tightening device which is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, is designed to bring together and / or tighten one against the other two distant parts 1 and 2 of any article such as for example a shoe.
  • This tightening is achieved by means of a lace 3 which passes, in a manner known per se, alternately through eyelets 4 distributed in two sets of successive eyelets fixed on the two longitudinal edges 1a and 2a of the two parts to be tightened 1.2.
  • the lace 3 thus follows a conventional zigzag path between the eyelets 4 of the two opposite assemblies, being contained in the lacing plane P in which extend the two parts 1, 2 to be tightened.
  • the eyelets 4 are arranged so as to be contained in respective planes P1 which are inclined at an angle a with respect to the lacing plane P. Therefore the lace 3 passes through each eyelet 4, extending in the lacing plane P and being in contact with the eyelet 4 at two points A and B distant from each other in the longitudinal direction of the lace 3. These points A and B correspond to the points of tangency between the surface external of the lace 3 and the internal peripheral surface of the eyelet 4.
  • the angle of inclination a of each eyelet 4 relative to the lacing plane P is a function of the ratio between the internal diameter d of the eyelet 4 and the external diameter d1 of the lace 3.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the case where this ratio is relatively high, that is to say where the internal diameter d of the eyelet 4 is much larger than the diameter d1 of the lace 3.
  • the angle a of inclination of the plane P1 of the eyelet 4 by ratio to the lacing plane P is relatively low, for example of the order of 50 °.
  • the ratio between the diameters d and d1 is slightly greater than 1, that is to say that the internal diameter d of the eyelet 4 is slightly greater than the diameter d1 of the lace 3, and in this case the angle of inclination a of the plane P1 of the eyelet 4 relative to the lacing plane P is greater than the previous case, and it is of the order of 80o.
  • the planes P1 containing the eyelets 4 are inclined in the direction in which the tensile force f is exerted on the lace 3 during tightening.
  • Each eyelet 4 can be fixed individually to the two parts to be tightened 1,2. To this end, it can be secured, as shown in FIG. 4, to a lug 5 fixed individually to the two parts 1, 2, for example by sewing, riveting, etc.
  • This lug 5 can advantageously be reinforced along from its edge on which the eyelet 4 is fixed, by a rim 5a forming an additional thickness.
  • the eyelet 4 is secured to the tab 5 while being inclined at an angle a relative to the plane of this tab.
  • the eyelet 4 and the tab 5 form a single piece of plastic material coming from molding.
  • the eyelets 4 located on the same side, forming a set of successive eyelets are integral with the longitudinal edge of the same bar 6 of rectan gular shape, made of material flexible or semi-flexible.
  • This bar 6 is advantageously provided, along its edge where the successive eyelets 4 are fixed, with an additional thickness forming a consolidation rim 6a.
  • the bar 6 and the eyelets 4 are advantageously made in one piece from molded plastic.
  • the bar 6 is provided at its rear end with a member 7 for wedging the lace 3.
  • this member 7 can be located either substantially in alignment with the eyelets 4, as shown in the FIG. 6, and therefore in relief relative to the corresponding longitudinal edge 1a or 2a, that is to say as shown in FIG. 6A, set back from the alignment of said eyelets 4.
  • FIG. 7 represents a shoe whose inclined eye lugs 4 are integral with independent lugs 5 which are fixed to the two parts to be tightened 1 2 by means of rivets 8.
  • FIG. 8 represents a shoe the two parts of which to be tightened 1,2 carry bars 6 of which the inclined eyelets are biased 4. These bars are fixed to the two parts 1 and 2 of the shoe, for example by sewing.
  • the two bars 6 are provided, at their rear ends, with wedging members 7 for immobilizing the lace 3.
  • FIG. 9 represents a shoe in which the inclined eyelets 4 crossed by the tightening lace 3 are integral with two bars 6 which are articulated together at their anterior ends, around an axis 9 this axis 9 can possibly be integral with the shoe upper.
  • FIG. 10 represents a shoe of the type illustrated in FIG. 8 and the tightening lace 3 of which forms a loop passing over a front wedging member 10 fixed to the upper of the shoe.
  • FIG. 11 represents an alternative embodiment of the lace tightening device according to the invention in which the successive eyelets of the same assembly are inclined alternately in opposite directions.
  • the eyelets with odd rows 4 a , 4 c are tilted to the right while the even row eyelets 4 b , 4 d are tilted to the left.
  • the angle of inclination of the eyelets of even rows 4 a , 4 c may be equal to the angle of inclination in the opposite direction of the eyelets of even rows 4 b , 4 d or else these angles may have different values.
  • Figure 12 shows another alternative embodiment in which the successive eyelets 4 a , 4 b , 4 c of the same set of eyelets are inclined at different angles relative to the lacing plane.
  • the first eyelet 4 a of relatively large diameter, is inclined with respect to the lacing plane P by an acute angle a 1 which is less than the acute angle a 2 with which the second eyelet 4 b is inclined, which is itself even less than the angle a 3 from which the third eyelet 4 c is inclined.
  • FIG. 13 illustrates a lacing mode in which the eyelets 4 of the two opposite sets are slightly offset longitudinally with respect to each other, so that in the position of maximum tightening the eyelets of the set of straight eyelets can come lodge in the intervals between the eyelets 4 of the set of left eyelets, as shown in phantom in the drawing.
