Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shoe for cycling, of the type including a closing device comprising a tightening cord that can be wound on a winding device for stressing two strips of the shoe upper to close them.
  • a further example is represented by a cycling shoes comprising two reels fixed on the tongue of the upper allowing to tighten or loosen the shoe, see e.g. document XP002766345, Zach Overholt: "IB14: Pearl Izumi Shows Updated X-Project 1.0, Impressive Elite Road, Plus All New MTB Clothing Line, New Colors, More ".
  • the problem underlying the present invention is to provide a closing device for shoes that is devised to meet the above-mentioned needs with reference to the above prior art.
  • the finding according to present invention allows differentiating the lacing tension at different parts of the foot, while ensuring a uniform distribution of the lacing tension.
  • the shoe can be easily put on and it allows a simple adjustment of the lacing tension also during a sporting activity.
  • a sport shoe preferably of the cycling type, is indicated on the whole by the reference numeral 100.
  • the shoe comprises a shoe upper of a conventional type, on which two mutually facing lacing strips 101 and 102 are defined.
  • the shoe 100 further comprises a further substantially tab-shaped intermediate strip 103, located between the two facing strips 101, 102.
  • the shoe 100 further comprises a closing device, indicated on the whole by the reference numeral 10, which is secured to the shoe, for example, in this embodiment, at the further intermediate strip 103.
  • the closing device 10 comprises a first winder 1 for a first tightening cord 11 and a second winder 2 for a second tightening cord 21.
  • the first winder 1 and the second winder 2 have axes of rotation X, X' that are parallel and spaced apart along a longitudinally extending direction of the shoe 100.
  • the first tightening cord 11 and the second tightening cord 21 are capable of stressing so as to bring the first lacing strip 101 and the second lacing strip 102 closer together by means of a relative winding on the respective winder, respectively.
  • the shoe 100 comprises a first pair of cord-feed supports 71 and a second pair of cord-feed supports 72, indented to engage a tightening cord portion, respectively.
  • the cord-feed supports 71 and 72 have a respective seating, only partially illustrated in the figure, which allows slidably housing the cord, while holding it in a direction of mutual closing together between the two strips.
  • the tightening cords are ring-shaped and closed onto the winder, so that winding the cord on the latter decrease the free length of the tightening cord and closes the ring. Therefore, it is apparent that such movement allows stressing the strips 101 and 102, bringing them closer to one another, thus obtaining a closure of the shoe.
  • each cord guide of the first pair of cord-feed supports 71 and of the second pair of cord-feed supports 72 is placed at the first lacing strip 101 and the second lacing strip 102, respectively.
  • the first tightening cord 11 is at least partly wound on the first pair of cord-feed supports 71.
  • the second tightening cord 21 is at least partly wound around said second pair of cord-feed supports 72.
  • the shoe further comprises a further second pair of cord-feed supports 72', on which the second cord 21 is wound.
  • the cord 21 intertwines when exiting the second cord-feed support 72, before arriving to the further support 72'.
  • the shoe comprises a cord-feed seating 73 and an auxiliary cord-feed seating 74 secured to the intermediate strip 103 and suitable to slidably hold the first and second first tightening cords, respectively.
  • the closing device comprises selectively engageable means 5 for locking the first winder 1 and the second winder 2.
  • Such locking means allow preventing, or anyhow limiting, the winders rotation.
  • the locking means 5 are preferably obtained by means of a ratchet defined by an engaging tooth 52 selectively engageable on a ring gear of the winder.
  • each winder comprises a respective ring gear 13, 23 and a respective engaging tooth 52, which is stressed to engage on the respective ring gear by means of elastic means, not shown in the figure.
  • the ratcheting can be obtained so as to be mono-directional, i.e., allowing the rotation of the winder to a direction, which is the cord winding direction, and preventing it in the opposite direction. Therefore, the ratcheting can be unlocked, thus allowing a free rotation of the winding device or, alternatively, a controlled rotation, by means of an unlocking means, a button actuating element 51 of which is visible in the figures.
  • the button actuating element 51 allows moving the engaging tooth 52 away from the ring gear 13.
  • the closing device 10 further comprises actuation means 3 for selectively actuating in rotation the first winder 1 or the second winder 2.
  • the actuation means 3 comprise a first gripping element 31 and a second gripping element 32, which rotate together with, and are coaxial with, said first winder 1 and said second winder 2, respectively.
  • the user will be able to act on the gripping elements 31 and 32 to rotate the respective winder which it is firmly secured to.
  • each gripping element can rotate about an axis of rotation extending inside a plane that is parallel to the planar net of the respective winder and is offset with respect to its axis of rotation X.
  • the rotation of the gripping element about the above-mentioned axis allows to bring it from a retracted position, shown in the figures, and in which it is arranged substantially parallel to a radially extending plane of the winding device, to an extended position, away from the winder and thus the shoe 100 and substantially perpendicular to the former, at which it can be easily grasped by the user.
  • the actuation means 3 comprise a single gripping element 33 and transmission means 35 capable of selectively transmitting the rotation of the gripping element 33 to the first winder 1 or the second winder 2.
  • the actuation means 3 further comprise an actuating ring gear 34 that rotates together with the gripping element 33.
  • the first winder 1 and the second winder 2 also comprise a respective ring gear 13, 23.
  • the actuation means 3 are moveable so as to engage the actuating ring gear 34 with one of the two ring gears of the winders.
  • a single gripping element allows to selectively actuate either winders.
  • the closing device also comprises plug-in holding means 6 of the support unit 4 on the intermediate strip 103 that allows to fix the support unit 4 on the strip 103 in a removable manner.
  • the plug-in holding means 6 are of the removable type.
  • the support unit 4 comprises a box-shaped body 40 inside which the first winder 1, said second winder 2 and the actuation means 3 are supported.
  • the box-shaped body 40 comprises openings 41 for the first tightening cord 11 and the second tightening cord 21, so as to allow the winding thereof on the respective winder.
  • the plug-in means 6 comprise an extension 60 and a complementary recess 61 obtained on the support unit 4 and the intermediate strip 103, respectively, or vice versa, and capable of a reciprocal engagement.
  • the intermediate strip 103 comprises a support element 104 inside which a housing seating 105 is defined.
  • the recesses 61 are preferably defined on the hosing seating 105.
  • the invention achieves the proposed objects, thus obtaining a number of advantages on known solutions.
  • the device according to the present invention allows obtaining an adjustment of the optimum closing tension by means of a selective action on the first or the second winders.
  • the plug-in holding means allow removing the support unit 4, thus achieving an optimum fit of the foot into the shoe, and a simple replacement of the device in the event of breakage.
  • the gripping element is easily provide to the user, thus allowing for an easy handling of the closing device, hence an easy adjustment of the lacing tension.
  • the implementation described above advantageously allows producing a particularly robust and reliable structure, formed by a relatively low number of components.
