Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the closing hooks using a manipulation lever and provided for bringing two faces together towards each other.
  • the present invention relates in particular hooks for the closure of sports shoes.
  • Such hooks are used in particular for the closure of ski boots. However, it will be possible to use the hooks for any other use such as skating shoe, attachment of a shoe on a gliding board, closure of luggage, etc.
  • the hook comprises a yoke which is fixed on the first pan.
  • the hook also comprises a lever which is pivotally mounted about a first axis relative to said yoke.
  • the hook also includes a tie rod which is pivotally mounted on the lever about a second axis. The tie is secured to the loop, the connection between the tie rod and the loop can be articulated around a third axis.
  • the first and second axes must not be coaxial. In practice, the distance separating the first axis from the second axis called "e" determines the maximum amplitude of the clamping.
  • the maximum amplitude of the clamping "d" is equal to twice "e", the distance separating the first axis from the second axis.
  • the hook to actually operate according to the principle of the toggle it is necessary that when the hook is in the closed position, the position of the second axis is below an equilibrium plane.
  • the plane of equilibrium is the plane which contains the first axis and which passes through the point of connection between the tie rod and the loop.
  • a hook comprising the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from FR 2 708 429 .
  • the present invention relates to the provision of a hook which solves the problems of the prior art.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a hook whose clamping amplitude is improved.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a hook which provides clamping assistance.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by providing a closure hook for bringing a first panel of a second panel as defined in claim 1.
  • the closure hook according to the invention comprises a hook and loop rack which is fixed on the second panel; and a loop which is integral with said tie rod such that, in the closed position, said loop is engaged with one of the teeth of said rack.
  • said yoke comprises two parallel uprights, in each of which is formed an oblong opening.
  • a slot is formed in said lever between the two legs; said first axis being embodied by two rivets, each of said rivets fixing one of said legs to one of said uprights through said oblong openings so as to allow the translational movement of said lever relative to said first pan.
  • a pinion equipped with a plurality of teeth, is formed at the end of each of said legs; said yoke comprises a support rack and the teeth of the pinion are engaged with the teeth of the support rack so that the pivoting movement of the lever about the first axis generates a translation movement of the first axis relative to the clevis.
  • the figure 1 shows in perspective view a ski boot 1 according to the invention. It consists of a bottom shell 20 and a collar 21 made of plastic.
  • the shell bottom 20 comprises an opening closed by two flaps, the first flap 2 and the second flap 3, which overlap and which are held in place by conventional hooks 4.
  • the collar 21 ensures the wrapping of the lower leg and it comprises a conventional hook, of the same type as the hooks 4 placed on the shell bottom, an improved hook 22 according to the invention and a tightening strap 17 placed at the top of the collar 21.
  • only one of the hooks is an improved hook 22 according to the invention, the others being conventional hooks as they are known in the prior art.
  • the number of hooks of the shoe or the distribution between conventional hook and improved hook is in no way a limiting feature of the invention to the extent that we can consider shoes with only three or two hooks or shoes where still only two, three or four of all the hooks of the shoe are improved hooks according to the invention.
  • the figure 2 shows in perspective view the improved hook 22, placed on the collar 21.
  • This comprises a yoke 5, which is fixed on a first panel 23 of the collar 21 by any fixing medium, glue, screw, rivet. It also includes a lever 6, a tie rod 8 and a loop 10.
  • An attachment rack 12 is fixed on a second panel 24 of the collar 21. In the closed position of the hook, that is to say as shown in FIG. figure 2 , the free end of the loop 10 is engaged with one of the teeth of the catch rack.
  • the figure 3 shows in top view the improved hook 22.
  • the lever 6 can pivot relative to the yoke 5 around a first axis 7.
  • a slot 14 is formed in the lever 6, which slot can define two legs 13 in the lever .
  • At the end of each of the legs is formed a pinion 15.
  • Each pinion 15 consists of a plurality of concentric teeth centered on the first axis 7.
  • the first axis 7 is embodied by two rivets, each of the two rivets fixing the yoke 5 at one of the legs 13.
  • the yoke 5 comprises a base 16 pressed against the first flange of the collar and two uprights 18 which project from the base, perpendicular to it.
  • the two uprights 18 are parallel and spaced from each other by a distance equal to the width of the lever at the level of the two legs 13.
  • In each of the uprights is an oblong opening 19.
  • Each of the rivets 25 which embody the first axis 7 passes into one of the legs and into one of the uprights through the oblong opening 19. Due to the passage of each of the rivets 25 in one of the oblong openings 19, the first axis 7 has the opportunity to move in translation in the oblong opening 19. Consequently there is a possibility of relative displacement in translation between the lever 6 and the yoke 5.
  • the base 16 of the yoke 5 comprises a support rack 26.
  • the teeth of this support rack 26 are engaged with the teeth of the pinion 15.
  • the tie rod 8 is pivotally mounted on the lever 6 around a second axis 9.
  • the distance separating the first axis 7 from the second axis 9 is a non-zero value called "e".
  • the second axis 9 is set back from the end of the lever in which the pinions 15 are located. Thanks to the presence of the slot 14, the tie rod 8 has the possibility of remaining in a substantially constant position throughout the combined rotation and translation movement of the lever 6. Indeed at any time one of the ends of the tie rod 8 is in the slot 14.
  • the other end of the tie rod is connected to the loop 10 by means of a third axis 11 .
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show the hook according to the invention in two successive positions.
  • the hook is in the intermediate position, between the closed position and a fully open position.
  • the teeth of the pinion which are engaged with the teeth of the support rack, are engaged with the central teeth of the support rack.
  • the second axis 9 is placed above the equilibrium plane 27, the equilibrium plane 27 is the plane defined by the first axis 7 and the third axis 11, which axes are parallel.
  • the hook is described in the closed position.
  • the second axis 9 is then placed below the equilibrium plane 27. This position of the second axis 9 ensures the maintenance in the closed position of the hook.
  • the figure 5 provides a schematic comparison of the operation of a conventional hook 4 according to the prior art and the operation of an improved hook 22 according to the invention.
  • the operation of a classic hook In full line, is represented the position of the lever when the hook is in the open position.
  • the end position shows the position of the lever when the hook is in the closed position.
  • the maximum amplitude of the clamping "d" is determined by twice the distance separating the first axis 7, which corresponds to the axis of articulation of the lever 6 on the yoke 5, of the second axis 9, which corresponds to the axis of articulation of the tie rod 8 on the lever 6.
  • the improved hook according to the invention will require a reduced clamping force compared to a conventional hook.
  • the clamping force is directly proportional to the value of the lever arm, and this lever arm is equal to the value "e”.
