Definitions
- the present invention relates to a quick release closure for a lace-up shoe.
- US 6,671,980 B1 discloses a quick-release fastener fixedly secured to a tab of a lace-up shoe and comprising a fixed member connected to the tab by a rivet or the like and a movable member pivotally connected to the fixed member.
- the laces are threaded through an eyelet attached to the moving element, such that the movable element tensions the laces by a pivoting movement on the fixed element or on the lug.
- this known quick-release closure has the disadvantage that it can not be detached from the shoe without destruction, if its use is not desirable. Nor can such a quick release fastener subsequently attach to a shoe or adapt to different shoes. In addition, it is desirable that the locking mechanism sits against rotation on the tab.
- Another object is to provide such a quick release closure in such a way that it can be easily detached from the shoe if necessary and can also be attached later to an ordinary shoe, without the seat of the lacing changed under load.
- the quick-release closure comprises a base element for attachment to a tab of the lace-up shoe, which can be attached laterally from a free edge of the tongue and is provided with a fastening means for releasable attachment to or in one of the eyelets of the flap.
- This base element is a clamping element pivotally connected about a pivot axis. In this way, the clamping element between a closed position in which it is folded onto the base member, and an open position hinged. Locking means are used to hold the clamping element in the closed position, so that it can not easily solve and open the quick-release closure.
- At a distance from the pivot axis at least one eyelet is provided in the clamping element, which serves for the implementation of a lace.
- the quick-release buckle can be detachably attached to one of the two straps of an ordinary shoe, each carrying a series of eyelets.
- the shoelace is alternately pulled through the eyelets opposite the right and left of the shoe in the respective tabs, then lashed and knotted, for example by means of a loop.
- a quick-release closure according to the invention can be attached to one of these two tabs in such a way that the fastening means engages in a loop of a tab and thus defines the base element.
- the pivot axis which connects the clamping element to the base element, then abuts against or in the vicinity of a free edge of this tab, so that the clamping element rests in the closed position on the tab and when opening from this tab upwards in the direction of the other , on the shoe opposite flap can swing.
- One of the eyelets is thus occupied by the fastener. It is replaced in its function by the eyelet in the clamping element.
- the shoelace is pulled on the side of the shoe, which faces the quick release, through the eyelets of the tab located there, however, on the side of the quick release closure by the eyelet in the clamping element, and possibly also by other eyelets, which are not occupied by the quick release closure.
- the eyelets already present on a lace-up shoe are thus used for fastening, so that both a retrofitting of a conventional shoe and a residue-free removal of the quick-release fastener according to the invention from the shoe are possible.
- the base element In the shoe-mounted position of the quick-release fastener sits non-rotatably on the tab, as by the system of the pivot axis at or close to the free edge of the tab, the base element is fixed in position and can no longer rotate about the fastener.
- the clamping element In use, is located at the closed quick-release closure, the clamping element on the tab on which the base element is plugged, and the shoe lace is lashed and knotted in this position.
- the locking means are released, so that the clamping element can be folded up by the tab or the base element. This reduces the distance between the eyelet or eyelets in the clamping element and the opposite eyelets on the free, not occupied by the quick release fastener tab of the shoe. This causes a release of the tension of the shoelace across the shoe, without the need to untie the knot.
- the clamping element In the reverse manner, the clamping element is again folded onto the base element for closing the quick-release closure, and the locking means engage again in one another.
- the quick-release fastener can be removed from the shoe, in which the fastener is released and then the base element is simply removed from the tab.
- the fastening means comprises a pin which is releasably inserted into the base element from the rear side of the base element, which is opposite the clamping element in the closed position. The pin can be performed by a Schnürbaum on which the base element is then held.
- the pin is screwed into an internal thread in the base member.
- the pin is provided at its end with a corresponding external thread.
- the base member comprises a series of several internal threads with different distances to the pivot axis.
- an internal thread can thus adjust the distance of the pivot axis of the fastening means, so that an adaptation to a distance of an edge of the tab on which the pivot axis is to rest, and the Schnürbaum is customizable.
- the base member comprises a substantially U-shaped body for lateral sliding on the tab, and the pivot axis is attached to one end of the base member, at which the legs converge.
- the base member can thus be pushed in this case on the tab so that one of its legs rests on the outside of the front of the tab, while the other leg rests against the inner back.
- the legs thus embrace the tab in the manner of a strap or clip.
- the fastener can be used to fix the base member in its position.
- the pin in this case traverses the free space between the legs, so for example in the vicinity of the free ends of the legs at a sufficient distance from the pivot axis, corresponding to a distance of the eyelet from an edge of the tab.
- the locking means comprise latching means which allow a manually releasable locking of the clamping element with the base element in the closed position.
- the clamping element comprises a recess for receiving the base member in the closed position.
- the clamping element with the base element in the closed position forms a unit, and the thickness of the quick-release closure on the top of the tab is limited.
- the base element has on its upper side a thickening, which is clipped in closing the clamping element in its recess.
- a thickening which is clipped in closing the clamping element in its recess.
- the thickening may, for example, have a cross-section which is shaped like a dovetail and has the maximum width on its upper side, but converges somewhat towards the rear side.
- the thickening it is possible for the thickening to be attached only at one point between the pivot axis and the fastening means, such that the cross section of the base element varies over the distance between the pivot axis and the fastening means.
- the present invention further relates to a lace-up shoe comprising a quick-release fastener of the type described above.
- this lace-up shoe comprises a tab which is provided with a number of eyelets, wherein the quick-release fastener is attached to the tab, the base element is attached laterally from a free edge of the tab on the tab, the fastening means of the base member in the plugged Zu-. 5 is releasably inserted into a Schnürbaum and abuts the pivot axis at or near the free edge of the tab, so that the clamping element rests in the closed position on the tab.

- Fig. 1 shows a quick release fastener 10 for a Schnürschuh not shown here.
- the quick-release fastener 10 is intended to be attached to a tab of the lace-up shoe provided with a number of eyelets through which a lace can be threaded.
- Fig. 1 shows the quick release fastener 10 in the open position. It comprises a base member 12 intended to be detachably attached to the tab of the lace-up shoe, not shown.
- the base element 12 comprises a pin 14 as a fastening means, which is screwed from the rear side into an internal thread 16 in the base element 12.
- the base member 12 is laterally mounted on the tab so that the pin 14 is guided from the back of the tab ago by a Schnürmaschinenite and screwed into the internal thread 16.
- the base member 12 further comprises three further internal threads 18,20,24, which are provided side by side in the base member 12.
- the pin 14 can optionally be screwed into each internal thread 16,18,20,24 in the base member 12 to provide various mounting options and to adapt the seat of the quick release fastener 10 to the size of the tab, in particular to the distance of Schnürbaum, in which the pin 14 is inserted, from a free outer edge of the tab.
- the pin 14 has at its free end facing away from the end to be screwed on a head 36, which facilitates the handling and rotation of the pin 14 with the fingers of a user.
- This head 36 is located in the attached position of the quick release fastener 10 below the tab, as will be explained in more detail below.
- the quick-release closure 10 further comprises a clamping element 26 which is pivotally connected to the base member 12 about a pivot axis 28.
- the pivot axis 28 extends perpendicular to the axis of the pin 14. In the attached state on the tab, the pivot axis 28 is laterally adjacent to a free outer edge of the tab.
- the clamping element 26 has a greater width than the base element 12, so that the base element 12 is completely covered by the clamping element 26 in the closed state of the quick-release closure 10, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the clamping element 26 comprises an eyelet 34 which extends at a distance from the pivot axis 28 at the free end of the clamping element 26 parallel to the pivot axis 28 through the main body 30 of the clamping element 26.
- a shoelace can be threaded through this eyelet 34.
- the eyelet 34 is formed by an open to opposite sides of the main body 30 channel, which passes through a portion of the base body 30 between the end of the recess 32 and the free end of the main body 30.
- Fig. 3 shows the quick release fastener 10 in the closed position (corresponding to FIG. 2) from below. In the side views in FIGS.
- the base element 12 comprises a substantially U-shaped body 38 for laterally sliding on the tab.
- An upper, resting on the tab leg 40 is provided with the visible in Fig. 1 internal threads 16,18,20,24 for screwing a screw-in end of the pin 14.
- the other leg 44 has a slot 46 (FIG. 3) through which the pin 14 can be inserted.
- the pivot axis 28 is attached to the end of the base member 12, at which the legs 40,44 converge. This end forms a stop when attaching the base member 12 to the tab, as will be shown below.
- the pin 14 passes at the opposite free end of the legs 40,44 the space between them.
- the eyelet 34 in the clamping element 26 is further away from the pin 14 in the open position than in the closed position.
- the portion of a guided through the eyelet 34 lace is arcuately pivoted in the direction of the pin 14.
- the legs 40,44 and the clamping element 26 have a curvature, which is about to follow the curvature of the adjacent flap on the foot and promotes a comfortable fit of the quick release closure 10.
- the clamping element 26 is held by suitable locking means on the base member 12 to prevent accidental release and opening of the quick-release closure 10.
- these locking means comprise latching means, which allow the clamping element 26 to lock on closing on the base element 12. This locking can be achieved by lifting the free end of the clamping element 26.
- the locking is formed in the present embodiment by a thickening 48 at the top of the upper leg 40 of the base member 12, so that this leg 40 has a cross-section which resembles a dovetail. This thickening 48 is clipped into the opening of the recess 32 in the clamping element 26.
- the thickening 48 does not have to extend over the entire length of the base member 12 between the pivot axis 28 and the opposite free end of the base member 12, but the thickening 48 may also be present only at a point of this length.
- other latching mechanisms are conceivable, such as a comparable latching at the ends of the recess 32 and the base element 12, respectively.
- Fig. 7 shows the quick release fastener 10 in an application on a lace-up shoe.
- This comprises a first tab 100 (left in FIG. 7) and an opposite second tab 102.
- Each of these tabs 100, 102 includes three eyelets.
- On the first La see 100 is the (hidden here) base member 12 of the free, facing the second tab 102 edge forth her forth, such that the tab 100 completely in the slot-shaped space between the legs 40,44 (Fig. 4 and 5) is inserted.
- the eyelet 34 of the quick release fastener 10 thus replaces the middle eyelet of the first tab 100. If the quick release fastener 10 is released by lifting the tension member 26, the tension between the eyelets 112,114,116 of the second tab 102 and the eyelet 34 of the quick release fastener 10 is released and loosened.
- FIGS. 8 and 9. In the open position in Fig. 8, in which the clamping element 26 is opened, the threaded through the eyelet 34 portion of the lace 110 is loosened. If the clamping element 26 is brought into the closed position, that is, by pivoting about the pivot axis 28, the eyelet executes 34 an arcuate pivoting movement, so that their distance from the eyelets 112,114,116 is increased and the relevant portion of the lace 110 is tensioned, as shown in Fig. 9. The number of eyelets in the tabs 100,102 is shown in Fig. 7 by way of example only.
- clamping element 26 may for example also include a plurality of eyelets 34 which extend perpendicular to the first tab 100, ie parallel to the axis of the pin 14 by the clamping element 26.
- all elements of the quick-release closure 10 according to the invention are shown here merely by way of example and schematically, so that their proportions can deviate from the representations in the figures.
