Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an anchoring plate for a closure device for a sports footwear.
  • the present invention also relates to a closure device for a sports footwear comprising such an anchoring plate.
  • ski boots 100 (and other sports footwear provided with a substantially rigid outer shell) have a longitudinal opening 102 allowing to widen the outer shell 104 to allow the user to introduce the foot into the footwear and pull it out from it and they are provided with a plurality of closure devices 110 which are arranged transversely to said longitudinal opening and by means of which it is possible to close the footwear so as to immobilize the user's foot inside the footwear during sports practice.
  • said closure devices 110 comprise a supporting plate 112 adapted to be rigidly fixed to a first side of the longitudinal opening of the shell, a closure lever 114 hinged to said supporting plate and a tensioning member 116 which at a first end is hinged to a central portion of the closure lever and at a second end 116a is provided with hooking means for engagement with an anchoring plate 118 (for example in the form of a rack) which is rigidly fixed to a second, opposite side of said opening of said shell.
  • an anchoring plate 118 for example in the form of a rack
  • the main object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the limits of prior art by providing a closure device for sports footwear that can move from a position in which the user's foot is firmly retained inside the footwear to a position in which the user's foot has a certain freedom of movement inside the footwear and that is not of hindrance to the user in either of said two positions.
  • the anchoring plate comprises a body provided with hooking seats for the hooking means of the tensioning member of a corresponding closure device, and an extendable member which is movably connected to said body and is provided with at least one hooking seat for the hooking means of said tensioning member.
  • closure devices incorporating respective anchoring plates By using closure devices incorporating respective anchoring plates according to the invention, when the user's foot has to be firmly retained inside the footwear, the hooking means of the tensioning members are engaged in one of the hooking seats of the respective anchoring plates and the extendable members of said anchoring plates are maintained in the retracted position; on the other hand, when it is preferable that the user's foot has a certain freedom of movement inside the footwear, the extendable members of the anchoring plates are brought to the extracted position and the hooking means of the tensioning members of the respective closure devices are received in said at least one hooking seat of said extendable members.
  • the user can move the foot inside the footwear (in particular he/she can flex the instep of the foot), and at the same time the closure devices are not of hindrance.
  • the at least one hooking seat of the extendable member of the anchoring plate according to the invention is advantageously provided with restraining means for the hooking means of the corresponding tensioning member which prevent accidental release from said hooking seat.
  • said restraining means oppose a positive resistance to the accidental release from said hooking seat.
  • said restraining means are elastic restraining means, so that the user has to overcome the elastic force of said restraining means in order to insert the hooking means of a tensioning member into said at least one hooking seat and - above all - to extract said hooking means therefrom.
  • documents EP 705 545 and EP 766 933 disclose closure devices for sports footwear that include anchoring plates provided with an extendable member that has a seat for the hooking means of the tensioning member of the closure device itself.
  • the presence of said extendable member has the sole function of facilitating the closure of the sports footwear, allowing the user to partially bring the two portions of the shell at opposite sides of the longitudinal opening of the shell itself closer to each other during the closing operation.
  • the seat of the extendable member described in EP 705 545 or in EP 766 933 would not be able to firmly hold the hooking means of the respective tensioning member while the user climbs a slope by walk.
  • an anchoring plate 1 for a closure device for sports footwear is schematically shown.
  • Said anchoring plate 1 comprises a body 3 which is provided with at least a through hole 19 for the passage of fastening means for fastening said body to the shell of a sports footwear and which has a plurality of hooking seats arranged in different positions, so that the tensioning member of a corresponding closure device can engage with the body of said anchoring plate 1 in a plurality of different positions.
  • the body 3 of the anchoring plate 1 may be configured as a rack comprising a plurality of teeth 5 arranged in series and defining corresponding hooking seats 7 for the hooking means of a tensioning member of a closure device.
  • the shell of the sports footwear can be tightened to a greater or lesser extent depending on the morphology of the foot of the specific user.
  • the anchoring plate 1 further comprises an extendable member 9 which is movably connected to the body 3 of said plate, so that it can move from a retracted position ( Figure 2a ) to an extracted position ( Figures 2b - 2d ).
  • the extendable member 9 is provided with an elongated slot 11 and that the anchoring plate 1 includes a pin 13 passing through said slot 11 and penetrating into the body 3 of said plate, so that the pin 13 slides within the slot 11 - between the two opposite ends of said slot - when the extendable member 9 moves from the retracted position to the extracted position and vice versa.
  • the extendable member 9 is provided with at least one hooking seat 15 for the hooking means of a tensioning member of a corresponding closure device.
  • said hooking seat 15 is obtained by bending the distal end 9a of the extendable member 9 into a hook shape.
  • said at least one hooking seat 15 of the extendable member 9 is provided with restraining means 17 adapted to retain at their inside said hooking means of said tensioning member.
  • Said restraining means act as safety means from preventing accidental release from said hooking seat 15.
  • said restraining means are elastic restraining means 17, so that the user has to overcome the elastic force of said restraining means 17 to insert the hooking means of a tensioning member into said at least one hooking seat 15 and to extract said hooking means therefrom.
  • the elastic restraining means are obtained by cutting a U-shaped opening 17a in the body 9 of the extendable member and thus defining an elastic tab 17b. Said elastic tab is then deformed to obtain a bulge 17c (clearly visible in Figure 2d ) oriented towards the distal end 9a bent into the hook shape of the extendable member 9 and facing it, so as to obtain a narrowing at the mouth of the hooking seat 15.
  • the elastic restraining means can also be obtained in any other way within the reach of the person skilled in the art, and it is also evident that the restraining means could also be of a different nature, for instance mechanical restraining means.
  • the hooking seat 15 could be provided with a mechanical element that can be made to move from a first position in which it leaves the access to said hooking seat free to a second position in which it blocks the access to said hooking seat.
  • FIGS 3a and 3b a closure device 21 incorporating an anchoring plate 1 according to the invention is shown.
  • said closure device 21 comprises a supporting plate (not visible in the Figures), provided with through holes for the passage of fastening means for fastening said supporting plate to the shell of a sports footwear.
  • a closure lever 25 is pivotally connected to the supporting plate by means of rotation pins and has a gripping portion 25b that the user can grasp for controlling the rotation of the closure lever itself.
  • the closure device 1 also comprises a tensioning member 27 which at a first end is hinged to the closure lever 25 and at the second, opposite end has a hooking portion provided with hooking means 29.
  • the hooking means of the tensioning member 27 comprise a transverse bar 29 adapted to engage in one of the hooking seats 7 of the body 3 of the anchoring plate 1 or in the at least one hooking seat 15 of the extendable member 9 of said anchoring plate.
  • the supporting plate and the anchoring plate 1 of the closure device 21 are intended, in use, to be fastened to the shell of a sports footwear, on opposite sides of the longitudinal opening of said shell.
  • closure device 21 is shown in a first configuration in which the hooking means 29 of the tensioning member 27 are engaged in one of the engagement seats 7 of the body 3 of the anchoring plate 1 and in which the extendable member 9 of the anchoring plate is in the retracted position.
  • closure device 21 is shown in a second configuration in which the engagement means 29 of the tensioning member 27 are engaged in the hooking seat 15 of the extendable member 9 of the anchoring plate, which extendable member 9 is in the extracted position.
  • the two portions of the shell at the opposite sides of the longitudinal opening may be more distant from each other than in the configuration of Figure 3a , so that the user's foot will have a certain freedom of movement inside the shell of the sports footwear.
