Abstract
Description
- The present invention concerns a lever-and-rack closing device for footwear, e.g. sports footwear here chosen as example.
- The lever-and-rack closing devices for clamping an upper of sport footwear are of many types. A particular family comprises a rack fixed to a flap of the upper, a tie-rod connected to the opposite flap, and a lever articulated to the tie-rod made for selectively engaging one of rack's teeth. Such an example is described in
US 41 04 766 orFR 2 701 361 FR 2,755,833 - With recent developments of sport equipment, the size of the closing devices is a problem to solve. A decisive factor for the choices of sportsmen is that the size and/or the projections of the closing devices be basically reduced as much as possible, to minimize the probability of impacts during the skiing activity.
- The models described in the documents cited above are instead very bulky, and when closed span on too wide an area of the outer shell. Furthermore, since the position of each rack changes according to its degree of closure (because the tooth that the user engages with the lever may change), an unpredictable misalignment of the closing devices on the shell descends, or in any case a very wide variance in their misalignment. Both effects imply a final sub-optimal placement of the closing devices on the shell, which increases the risk of accidental collision thereof and lowers the dynamic performances of the ski boot.
- Main object of the invention is to improve this state of the art.
- Another object is to provide a lever-and-rack closing device which solves at least one of the above problems.
- Another object is to provide a more compact lever-and-rack closing device.
- Another object is to provide a lever-and-rack closing device that is less cumbersome when mounted and closed on the shell.
- At least one object is attained with a lever-and-rack closing device for footwear, preferably sports footwear, as defined in claim 1, and in the dependent ones for advantageous variants.
- An aspect of the invention relates to a closure device for a first and second flap, adjacent to each other, of a footwear shell, comprising
a first element for fastening to the first flap;
a closing lever;
a rack (20) provided with teeth;
a second element for fastening to the second flap, wherein
the rack is constrained only to the lever at a point of mutual articulation, and the lever, at a different point, is articulated to the first element, and
the second element is selectively attachable on a tooth of the rack to adjust the relative position of the first and second flap when the lever is brought closer to the rack. - The first fastening element and/or the second fastening element may be

This solution enables the easy use e.g. of pins for the hinging and is easy to assemble. Or the fork may be comprised at one end of the first element, which fork is hinged about an axis at one end of the rack.
- The hinging between rack and lever preferably envisages a portion, or e.g. an eyelet or a hole, in the rack to house and/or support the hinging axis. Such portion may e.g. comprise a pass-through tunnel present in the rack body or a fork at whose ends the lever is coupled.

- Preferably said hinging or articulation axes are accomplished by a pin or a prismatic pair.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to a disposition on a (e.g. sport) shoe shell of two or more devices as defined above, wherein
two devices are mounted on the shell side by side,
in each device the first fastening element and the second fastening element are constituted by a cable or a filiform element, and
at least one fastening element of one device intersects at least one fastening element of the other device. - The present invention is hereinafter further described in some of its preferred embodiments of a device with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
-
Figure 1 shows a perspective view from above of a first device, closed, -
Figure 2 shows a side view of the device ofFig. 1 , -
Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the device ofFig. 1 , open; -
Figure 4 shows a side view of the device ofFig. 3 ; -
Figure 5 shows a perspective view from above of a second device, opened; -
Figure 6 shows a side view of the device ofFig. 5 . - In the figures equal numbers indicate similar or identical parts.
- In order not to crowd the drawing, identical elements are not always referenced.
- A
closing device 10 for adjacent flap L1 and flap L2 is shown infigures 1-4 . - The flaps L1, L2 belong to a sport-shoe shell (not shown).
- The
device 10 comprises a first fastening element to the flap L1 in the form of acable 12 and a second fastening element to the flap L2 in the form of anothercable 14. Thecables - The central part of the cable 14 (that is, of the U) is inserted inside an eyelet or bushing 36 of a closing
lever 30, so as to be indeed hinged to thelever 30 about an axis X1. In turn, through apin 34, thelever 30 is hinged, about an axis X2 parallel to axis X1, to aneyelet 24 present at the end of arack 20 provided withteeth 22. - As can be seen, the ends of the
lever 30 are articulated to therack 20, creating a fulcrum and leaving thelever 30 free to rotate about the X2 axis; while thecable 14 is articulated to thelever 30 at a point near the center of thelever 30. - The
cable 12 is free and its central part (curve of the U) can be constrained selectively on anytooth 22 of therack 20. - On one of the
cables cable 12 as in the figure, is preferably present atensioner 38, to adjust the length ofcable 12. - To tighten the flaps L1, L2 one just brings the
device 10 from the opening position (fig. 3 and 4 ) to the closing position (fig. 1 and 2 ). - To this aim, the
lever 30 is rotated (arrow F) towards therack 20 turning the X1 axis toward thecable 12. In this way thecable 14 is pulled, and so is the flap L2, toward the other flap L1. In other words, by lowering thelever 30 until it is above therack 20, thecable 14 is pulled and therack 20 moves back towards thecable 14 by about twice the distance between the axes X1, X2. - The fastening degree is established by selecting which
tooth 22 is engaged by thecable 12 and/or by acting on thetensioner 38. - Note that the particular mechanism of the invention, regardless of the
tooth 22 engaged by thecable 12, allows in the closed device 10 (Fig. 2 ) to maintain the distance, indicated by D inFig. 2 , between the axis X1 and the anchoring point ofcable 14, constant. As a result, with thedevice 10 closed therack 20, which is constrained only to the shell by only thelever 30, always has the same position on the shell independently of the tooth engaged by thecable 12. Therefore, adevice 10 can be designed to make it stay on the shell always in a same position, little subject to accidental knocks. - To balance the strains and improve the movement of the
lever 30, it is preferable that thelever 30 comprises a terminal fork with two spaced apart,parallel end arms 42. These arms are hinged with thepin 38 to the sides of theeyelet 36. - It is also possible that it is the
rack 20 which comprises a fork, while thelever 30 has a central portion adapted to mate inside such fork. In this case the advantage is to have a rack with more surface area to obtain increased stability. -
Figures 5 and 6 show a variant ofdevice 60, which illustrates some different technical solutions, usable alone or in combination with the others, e.g. by implementing them in thedevice 10. For brevity's sake we will describe only such technical solutions, the rest of the device and its operation being equal to the previous one. - Option 1: The
device 60 comprises arack 70 terminating with afork 72 having two separate,parallel arms 76 at whose ends, bypins 74, alever 80 is hinged. Thus, thelever 80 can rotate on thepins 74 with respect to therack 70 about an axis X3. The advantage is greater stability in the closing phase, because thelever 80 is guided better. - Option 2: the
lever 80 comprises two eyelets orbushings 82 to house a pass-throughpin 84 to which there is hinged, about an axis X4 parallel to the axis X3, the end of anarm 90 adjustable in length, in turn connected to ananchor 92 to the shell. The advantage of thelever 80 is to be able to easily adjust the closing clamping level.
