Definitions

  • Italian patent no. 138370 discloses a closure device comprising a lever which is pivoted, at one end, to two shoulders protruding from a base that can be rigidly coupled to one of the flaps of the shoe; said lever has, at the surface that faces the flap, a set of teeth with which a flexible ring selectively interacts, and is rigidly coupled, at the other end, to a bracket which is in turn slidingly associated at a support that is rigidly coupled to the other flap to be joined.
  • the support has a C-shaped slot adapted to vary the position of the bracket and therefore of the ring with respect to the lever.
  • This solution tends to solve the problem of varying the extent of the traction applied by the closure device to compensate for unavoidable anomalies in assembly or anatomical differences in the users' feet.
  • Swiss patent no. 728/61 filed on January 20, 1961 discloses a closure for ski boots that comprise a fastening lever characterized in that it is fixed on an eccentric bush rotatably arranged on the pivot of the fastening lever and provided with a secondary lever, by means of which the bush can be rotated, according to the requirements, through at least 190 o , in two extreme positions.
  • the eccentricity of said bush is chosen so as to vary the position of the fastening lever by approximately half of the distance between its teeth.
  • Italian patent no. 197890 discloses a fastening for ski boots of the ring and lever type, in which the ring can be detachably engaged with one of a plurality of hooks that are mutually spaced by a given pitch; the characteristic of said fastening is the fact that said hooks are formed on a plate body movably guided on a base plate towards and away from said lever for movements that are equal to a fraction of the spacing of the hooks, and there are retention means for removably locking the body on the base plate.
  • a principal aim of the present invention is to solve the described technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the prior art by providing a device that allows to easily adjust the position of levers and/or racks to achieve optimum fastening of the flaps of a sports shoe.
  • an important object is to provide an adjustment device that cannot jam and does not require particular sizes or tolerances in designing its components.
  • Another important object is to provide an adjustment device in which the placement of the lever and/or of the rack is stable once it has been achieved and cannot be modified by accidental impacts on said lever and/or on said rack.
  • Another important object is to provide an adjustment device that is structurally simple and is quickly and easily associatable with one of the flaps of the shoe.
  • Another object is to provide a device that is reliable and safe in use and has low manufacturing costs.
  • a device for adjusting the position of fastening members particularly for sports shoes characterized in that it comprises a plate that can be temporarily accommodated in a complementarily shaped seat formed on the lower surface of a strap member, a stem being eccentrically associated with said plate, said stem being slideable within a slot formed on said strap member and being rigidly coupled to a fastening member.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates the device for adjusting the position of a fastening member such as a lever or a rack 2, which is particularly usable for sports shoes such as ski boots, roller skates, ice skates, and motorcycling or cycling shoes.
  • Said adjustment device comprises a plate 3, which has a polygonal, or preferably circular, shape in plan view and can be temporarily accommodated at a complementarily shaped seat 4 formed at the lower surface 5 of a flap or of a strap 6 of the shoe.
  • a head 7 is eccentrically associated with the plate 3 and is arranged on a plane forming an acute angle with respect to the plane of arrangement of said plate 3, a counterclockwise rotation being considered positive; a stem 8 protrudes from said head, passes through said plate, and is connected, at its free end, below a lever or rack 2.
  • a slit 9 is formed in the plate 3 and is adapted to allow to rotate the plate 3 by using a coin or a screwdriver.
  • the stem 8 is slideable at an adapted slot 10 formed longitudinally with respect to the flap or to the strap 6 and arranged on a plane that is diametrical with respect to the plate 3 and therefore to the seat 4.
  • a rotation of the plate 3 causes the stem 8 to be arranged at the end of the slot 10 that is furthest from the edge 11 of the flap or strap 6; the same rotation moves the lever or rack 2 away from the edge 11, thus allowing to achieve, by means of conventional fastening devices, a greater degree of closure for the flap or strap, thus allowing to use this position for example if the user has a thin calf requiring tighter fastening of the leg.
  • the lever and/or the rack 2 also moves closer to the edge 11 of the flap or of the strap 6, allowing to achieve a looser fastening of the shoe that can therefore be used if the user has, for example, a thick calf requiring looser fastening of the leg.
  • the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, a device having been provided that allows to quickly and easily adjust the position of a lever and/or of a rack, said position, once preset, being stable in time and being immune from changes due to accidental impacts on the shoe during sports practice.
  • FIGS 10-14 illustrate a device 101, according to a further aspect of the invention, for adjusting the position of fastening elements 102, such as a lever or a rack that are subjected to the traction of a traction element such as a cable 113.
  • the fastening element 102 interacts with a fastening member such as a strap or a flap 103 of the shell or of the quarter of a sports shoe, not shown in the drawings.
  • Said device 101 comprises a base 104 from which two wings 105a and 105b protrude laterally, a lever arm 106 being transversely articulated to said wings; as an alternative, the base 104 can have a rack 114 provided with a set of teeth for the engagement of the traction element 113.
  • the base 104 has, on the opposite side with respect to the one provided with the pair of wings 105a or 105b or with the rack, a recess that forms a seat 107 for accommodating a complementarily shaped plate 108 preferably having a substantially circular plan.
  • One end of a stem 109 is eccentrically associated with said plate 108, and the opposite end of said stem is associated with, and/or connected to, the strap or a flap 103 of the shell or quarter of the shoe.
  • Said stem 109 passes through an adapted slot 110 formed longitudinally with respect to the base 104 and formed at the seat 107.
  • the plate 108 is preferably provided with a slit 111 that allows to turn said plate 108 by using a coin or a screwdriver.
  • the slit 111 is profiled as a chord on the opposite side with respect to the stem 109.
  • the strap or flap 103 have two ridges 112a and 112b that are made of flexible material, protrude so that they are mutually parallel, and are arranged adjacent and laterally with respect to the base 104 or the seat 107.
  • the two ridges 112a and 112b interact with the plate 108, during the rotation of said plate, by flexing; in the stable positions of figures 11 and 13, they ensure that these positions are maintained.
  • the user can turn the plate 108 through 180 o by means of a coin or a screwdriver along a plane that is parallel to the plane that contains the base, overcoming the force required to flex the two ridges 112a and 112b.
  • This rotation forces a longitudinal translatory motion of the base 104 and of the accompanying lever arm 106 or of the rack 114, thus adjusting the position of the fastening elements of said shoe.
  • the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, a device having been provided that allows to easily and quickly adjust the positioning of fastening elements, such as a lever arm or a rack, said positioning, once achieved, being stable in time and being unaffected by accidental impacts against the shoe during sports practice.
  • Adjustment can be performed from the outside of the shoe, without having to lift a flap or a strap thereof or to perform other operations, since the plate 8 can be accessed directly by the user.
  • said plate is located outside the shoe, it is possible to mount the device in any part of the shoe, for example in the shell of a boot or skate.
  • the space occupied by the device, for the part inside the shoe, is very limited, so as to not affect the fit and comfort of said shoe.
  • the device is structurally very simple and has very low manufacturing costs.
