Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lever particularly for sports shoes.
  • Such lever arm supports a first end of a tensioning element so that it can rotate by means of a second pivot which is arranged parallel to the first one, and a means for interconnection to a rack is hinged to a second end of the tensioning element by means of a third pivot, the axis of which is parallel to the two above cited pivots.
  • Such means is provided with a hook, which is generally constituted by a fourth pivot which is parallel to the preceding ones and is adapted to be arranged selectively between a plurality of teeth formed on a rack which is fixed to a second external flap, for example of the shell of the shoe.
  • a ski boot which has a shell with overlapping flaps which has a single lever arm which is articulated to a first flap by means of a plate whose width is approximately equal to the space usually used in the background art to position two distinct levers.
  • the first end of two distinct tensioning elements is pivoted to such lever arm about a same axis and can be interconnected at a second end to an interconnection means which is rigidly coupled to the other flap to be joined.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited background art, by providing a lever, particularly for fastening sports shoes, which can allow to achieve optimum fastening of the flaps of a shoe easily and rapidly.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a lever which allows to achieve optimum closure of the flaps with an optimum adjustment of the degree of activation of the tensioning element.
  • Another object is to provide a lever whose actuation entails, once it has been adjusted the first time, the obtainment of the same tensioning upon subsequent activations.
  • Another object is to provide a lever which is rugged and reliable in use, the risks of its possible breakage being limited.
  • Another object is to provide a lever which is structurally simple and has low manufacturing costs.
  • a lever particularly for sports shoes which comprise a first flap with which a plate is associated which has a pair of shoulders to which a lever arm is pivoted, characterized in that a base of a U-shaped support is rotatably associated with said lever arm and has a seat for at least one tensioning element which is slidingly associated thereat and whose ends are respectively associated and selectively associable with a second flap to be joined of said shoe.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a lever, particularly for sports shoes such as for example a ski boot 2, or a roller skate or ice skate, of the type which comprises a shell 3 with which one or more quarters 4 are associated.
  • the lever 1 comprises a preferably metallic plate 5, which can be associated for example by means of suitable rivets 6 with a first flap 7 of the shoe.
  • Such first flap can be related to the shell 3 or to the quarter 4.
  • Two shoulders 8a, 8b protrude from the plate 5 at the transverse ends, are provided with holes along the same axis and act as seats for first pivots 9a, 9b for the pivoting of first wings 10a, 10b of a lever arm 11 which has a substantially U-shaped plan configuration.
  • a base 12 of a support 13 is generally associated with the lever arm 11 in the interspace provided between the first wings 10a, 10b and is also U-shaped and has second wings 14a, 14b, which during use face the first wings 10a, 10b.
  • the rotary interconnection of the support 13 to the lever arm 11 occurs by means of a second pivot 15, which passes at appropriately provided first holes 16a, 16b, which have the same axis and are formed in the first wings 10a, 10b of the lever arm 11 in a region which is adjacent to the portion 17 that connects said wings and a second hole 18 which is formed at the base 12 of the support 13.
  • At least one approximately U-shaped seat 20 is provided on the lower surface 19 of the support 13 which is directed toward the underlying plate 5 and has a first portion which is approximately parallel to the base 12 and is connected, with a preferably arc-like shape, to second portions which are approximately parallel to the second wings 14a and 14b and protrude from them toward a second flap 21 to be joined.
  • a tensioning element such as a cable 22 is slidingly associated within the seat 20.
  • Such cable has a first end 23 which is rigidly coupled, for example by means of a cable lug 24, to the second flap 21 and a second end 25 which can be associated selectively with the second flap 21.
  • a T-shaped terminal 26 is in fact rigidly coupled to the second end 25 and its wings can be engaged selectively between teeth 27 of a rack 28 which is associated with the second flap 21.
  • the use of the invention is therefore as follows: once the foot has been inserted in the shoe, it is sufficient for the user to adjust the position of the terminal 26 between the chosen teeth of the rack and then act on the lever arm to fasten the cable in the two directions of the second wings 14a and 14b, thus fastening two separate regions of the shoe.
  • the degree of tensioning is further provided a single time and is distributed along both directions thanks to the possibility of the cable to slide within the seat 20, this allowing automatic adjustment of the degree of fastening and a balancing of the tension of the cable during sports practice.
  • This lever further allows to achieve optimum closure of flaps with an optimum adjustment of the degree of activation of the cables, which self-adjust also as a function of the stresses imparted to the shoe during sports practice: the cable in fact balances the traction loads at its ends.
  • the lever once it has been adjusted the first time, allows to achieve the same degree of tensioning upon subsequent activations, since the useful extension of the cable needs to be set only once.
  • activation of the lever is very easy and quick even if it is performed while wearing gloves and the simplicity of the closure is further appreciated by non-expert users.
  • the number and shape of the seats provided on the support 13 and the direction of the first and second portions with respect to the base 12 and the second wings 14a and 14b can be the most pertinent according to requirements.
  • the shape of the support 13 also can be the most disparate according to requirements.
