DESCRIPTION

Footwear

The present invention relates to a garment of footwear with at least one opening and / or widening section to facilitate putting on / taking off it, being associated with the opening and / or widening section at least one curling and at least one zipper, so that the opening and / or widening section can be closed or narrowed by tensioning the curling and / or closing the zipper, extending the curling along at least one side of the zipper and in this respect crosses a wall gap of shoe garment between the zipper and an edge area adjacent to it of the shoe garment wall, the stringing being threaded in vaiven in means of deviation provided on both sides of the footwear wall interstice.

In footwear, to facilitate on the one hand put on and take off the same and to achieve on the other hand a form of adjustment with good footwear of the blade in the set state, closing means are usually incorporated in the blade, such as for example a stringing, by means of which an opening and / or widening section usually configured as an interstitium of the blade can be closed or narrowed. In this sense, said opening or widening section usually comprises traction sections arranged on opposite flanks or sides of the footwear wall interstitium, which are opposite each other and for example can be tensioned or pulled by a cord approaching them. , so that the distance between them is reduced or the corresponding section of footwear is narrowed. In this sense, said sections of traction can be formed by edges of the blade or the cane or be subject to them and in the case of a stringing as a tensioning means be provided with eyelets, in which a cord is threaded. The opening or widening sections of this type are very widespread from classic lowered shoes to sneakers, but they are increasingly important in particular in higher footwear models such as ankle boots or boots, to get a good fit and fit. that at the same time are easy to put on and take off.

Although the desired traction and its distribution to different sections can be controlled very well with a stringing, handling of a stringing is uncomfortable and also difficult for certain groups of people with limited manual ability, such as children. In this sense, it has already been proposed, to close or join by tension the opening or widening section, replace said curling with other tensioning means or closing means or complement them with them. In this sense, in addition to hook or velcro closures, zippers are also frequently used, particularly in the case of long opening or widening sections, as provided in boots.

By means of a zipper, an opening or widening section of greater length can also be closed and opened quickly and easily. However, such a zipper suffers from the fact that during the closure the degree of narrowing can no longer be adjusted individually. A shoe that can be closed with a zipper or fits exactly or is too wide or too narrow, since the opening or widening section can no longer be joined by tension and narrowed individually with more or less intensity.

In this sense, it has also begun to think about combining a zipper with other tensioning or closing means, such as a corded in the sense that to adjust the form of adjustment a corded in classical sf is provided and additionally used a zipper, for example to close a less critical section of footwear or to also ensure parallel that it can be put on and removed quickly. While the form of adjustment can be adjusted beforehand and of course also subsequently adjusted, the zipper is operated so that it can be quickly put on and off.

From EP 0 569 012 B1 of the Haix company a boot is known, which in addition to a zipper comprises a curling, which extends to the right and to the left of the zipper. The cordon comprises in this respect a special cord guide, in which the cord is always guided alternately by pairs of eyelets on the right and left side of the footwear wall interstitium, so that they are formed alternately cross-sectional sections, with which the cord crosses the gap of the footwear wall, and longitudinal sections, in which the cord runs parallel to the gap of the footwear wall. However, in this embodiment of footwear, it is difficult to selectively dose the tension achieved by the stringing and dimensioning it with different intensity in different sections of stringing, for example by tying hard at the bottom and tying less strongly at the part of above. On the other hand, a high density of eyelets is necessary for the longitudinal or parallel sections of the cord guide, in order to achieve a sufficient number of cross passages. In addition, the longitudinal or parallel sections of the curling found on the outer side of the footwear tend to get stuck, for example in the case of weed walks, or to be damaged, for example in the case of special uses such as fireman's boot or similar.

Document DE 20 2008 010 536 shows a similar boot, in which, in addition to a zipper, a cord is provided, which extends to the right and to the left of the zipper. It is intended that in the

The zipper cursor is fitted with a traction rope, which is guided by a deflection eye placed on the upper edge of the shoe, to avoid an oblique traction on the traction piece of the zipper.

In addition, in document DE 33 45 661 A1 it was proposed to longitudinally movable mount the eyelets of stringing, by which the cord of a boot with cord is threaded zigzag, on the edges of the opening section of the blade . The curling can be released or loosened by bringing the eyelets down, so that the opening section can be opened. Conversely, after putting on the shoe, the cordon can close the opening section by separating the eyelets upwards, so that the cordon closes the opening section again. However, the movement of the eyelets is quite laborious. In addition, uniform tension can only be achieved by adjusting the displacement of the eyelets one by one.

Starting from this, the present invention is based on the objective of creating an improved footwear of the mentioned type, which avoids the disadvantages of the state of the art and improves the latter advantageously. In particular, it is intended to achieve, with a simple and quick maneuverability, the best possible form of adjustment with adaptability to different feet, without harming the robustness of the footwear under strict conditions of use or reducing safety during use.

According to the invention, this objective is achieved by a footwear according to claim 1. Preferred configurations of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

It is proposed, to close or narrow the opening and / or widening section, to provide both a curling and a zipper and in this respect to arrange them in such a way that the width or narrowness of the opening and / or widening section can be adjusted by means of the encordonado, but that the opening and / or widening section can be opened alone without opening the corordonado only by operating the zipper or also close again.

According to the invention, it is provided that the beading is arranged on the inner side and is threaded by means of deflection, which are provided on the inner side of the footwear wall. In this regard, the cord does not pass through the wall of footwear and can be configured without corded sections that are located on the outer side of the shoe. In this respect, the curling can be covered in the completely closed state for its entire length, with respect to the external side. The curling can be arranged so that it is in particular under the rack support and the adjacent edge area of the opening and / or widening section, so that the rack support covers, together with the adjacent blade material, the stringing and this can no longer be seen at least partially. The absence of cord sections or cord curves on the outer side on the outer side of the footwear wall results in not only an optically elegant appearance, but also prevents the stringing from getting dirty or wet; also, the stringing is protected against the action of heat, which is important for example in the case of fire boots. The tendency to jam is also reduced.

In order to avoid, in said curling path on the inner side, that the curling is pressed against the foot or leg and at the same time to achieve an easy pass of the curling during closing, said deflection means can be made in the form of pins flexible, for example in the form of ribbon pins, which may be stationary placed on the inner side of the shoe wall, for example be sewn.

In this regard, said pins can be advantageously oriented in such a way that the main axes of the threading openings formed by the pins extend essentially parallel or tangentially to the edge areas of the footwear wall gap, which is franked by stringing. For example, if said footwear wall gap extends approximately in parallel to the tibia, the pins are positioned such that their threading openings also extend approximately parallel to the tibia.

Advantageously, said pins are placed near the edges of the footwear wall interstitium, the pins being able to be on the inner side of the shoe garment wall displaced slightly backwards with respect to said edges, to allow a complete closure of the interstice of the wall of the garment of footwear through the curling To take up little space and avoid overly narrow beading with overlaps of the edges of the footwear wall interstitium, said pins may be provided approximately flush at the edges of the footwear wall interstitium.

In a further advantageous refinement of the invention, the pins arranged on opposite sides of the footwear wall gap may be arranged displaced from each other, so that in the longitudinal direction of the footwear wall gap a respective means of deviation on one side of the footwear wall gap is disposed between two means of deflection on the other side of the footwear wall interstitium. If a cord is deflected in each case alternately around a right deviation means and a left deviation means, that is a deviation means on the right side of the footwear wall gap and a deviation means on the left side of the interstitium of

shoe garment wall, the cord adopts a winding path. In this way an effective closure is achieved and at the same time excessive tension or too narrow closure is avoided, since the sinuous path becomes increasingly flat when it is closed more by traction and in this way the tension of the cord is applied with less intensity as the footwear continues to close.

Advantageously, the curling has different types of threading or pitch in different curling sections, to achieve different curling properties in different sections of the footwear. In principle, threading in coexist in sinuous form can also be provided naturally by the entire stringing. However, in a further advantageous improvement of the invention, the cord is threaded in the area of the instep or foot section of the footwear, preferably approximately up to the height of an ankle section of said in a sinuous manner, while a cross-section is provided in a cane or leg section of the footwear or boot approximately above the foot joint. In this way, the stringing in the lower section of the footwear under the foot joint can function in a rocking during rolling, so that the footwear becomes softer, while in the section of the cane is achieved a firm footwear.

In a further advantageous improvement of the invention, a double cord passage may be provided in this regard, in which a cord on each side of the footwear wall gap is only threaded into one of every two deflection means. The respective cord or part of the cord may adopt a sawtooth-shaped cord passage, which, when passing through the interstitium of the footwear wall alternately joins adjacent deviation means previously and thus runs approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of interstitium and, on the other hand, in the next transverse step, when a pin skips, joins two non-adjacent pins, so that a relatively flat cross pitch is generated, acute with respect to the longitudinal direction of interstitium.

However, in order to take advantage of all the means of deviation in the case of a double cord passage of this type by skipping individual means of deviation, two cords or two sections of the same cord are threaded with specular symmetry between each other.

In order to be able to narrow the opening and / or widening section in different zones with different intensity and thus allow a better adjustment of the adjustment form, in a refinement of the invention, means can be associated with the curling means for generating straightening voltages of different intensity in different sections of curling. By means of the selective adjustment of the cordon tension in a cordon section regardless of the cordon tension adjustment in another cordon section, different sections of shoe and / or cane garment can be narrowed with different intensity.

Usually, in the case of normal strings, the cord tension is equalized over the entire length of the strings, at least after a certain period of use. If, for example, in a standing section the cord is pulled first, while a cane section is tied looser, the cord slips, so that over time a medium tension is adjusted at the same time in the foot section and in the cane section. In order to remedy this, in a refinement of the invention, a cord brake and / or at least one tensioning and / or pressure clamping means and / or a pressurizing and / or clamping means may be associated with a central section of the cord between the upper and lower cord ends / or adjustment to tension and / or press the cord between the upper and lower curling ends. A tensioning and / or fastening means of pressure or regulation of this type or said cord brake makes it possible to adjust a different tension in a lower cord section than that of an upper cord section, without the cord tension being equalized with the passage of time by use.

In a refinement of the invention, said regulating means or tensioners and / or pressurized means may be arranged in particular approximately in a transition zone between the shoe of the shoe and the instep of the shoe or the area of transition between the foot section and the blade section of the blade, in order to be able to adjust the cord tension in the foot section differently from that of the section of cane.

Alternatively or additionally to said tensioning and / or pressure fastening means, a cord brake can also be provided, which slows down a movement of regulation of the cord between said curling sections, for example inhibits and / or delays and / or completely blocks in the direction of a friction brake. A cord brake of this type can be configured, for example, as a cable brake, which allows a slip or a subsequent adjustment of the cord in the loose state or only in the case of a reduced tension, but on the other hand it blocks it in the case of a certain tension of traction. For example, a cord brake of this type may comprise a movable deflection rib, around which the cord is guided, a deflection nerve that under a cord tension moves to a locked position.

In particular, as a means of adjustment or tensioner and / or pressure fastening, a rotating cord reel can be provided, configured for example as a rotary button, around which the cord is guided, so that turning said cord reel is Tighten the cord on one side and loosen on the other side. Advantageously, said cord reel is configured as a winch, around which the cord is guided and from which the cord is unwound on both sides. An unrolling end is guided at the bottom of the

corded, while the other unrolling end is guided in the upper part of the curling, so that by twisting the winding button in one direction the upper cording section is tensioned and the lower cordating section is loosened and, at the conversely, by turning in the opposite direction, the upper curling section is loosened and the lower curling section is tensioned.

Advantageously, said cord reel can be configured in terms of its ability to turn with automatic stop, for example by way of interlocking, so that with the usual cord traction forces it is not regulated by itself, but only by regulation from the outside, in particular manually.

In this regard, the cord is advantageously bonded around said cord reel so that when the winding wheel is turned upwards, the cord is pulled in the lower zone and loosened in the upper zone, so that it is obtained as a result Intuitive operation

The cord may be bonded only around said cord reel. However, if necessary, the cord can also be interlocked in the cord reel, for example by means of interlocking and / or pressurized means placed on the winding wheel, so that in addition to said regulation function a subsequent adjustment or addition function on the winding wheel. If one more piece is pulled from the cord and interlocked, an additional tension in the cord is generated both below and above the cable reel button, which can then be adjusted differently again in the different areas by turning of the cord winder.

The use of such a cord winder allows a simple adjustment of the cord tension, in particular in relation to cord interlocking means provided on the upper edge of a shoe or boot. Just pull and tighten and lock the cord on the upper edge of the footwear. By turning the cord reel in a preferably central section of the stringing, the tension in the upper and lower stringing sections can then be adjusted as desired.

In order to allow a simple and rapid adjustment of the curling, a threaded cord may be provided from the bottom up, which can be tensioned away from an upper edge of the footwear by pulling it upwards. Advantageously, an interlocking means can be associated with the upper cord section, which retains the cord in the desired longitudinal position in the shoe-wearing wall and / or interlocks the adjusted cord. An interlocking means of this type can be, for example, a cord clamp in the direction of a cable clamp.

In order to achieve a simple operation with the zipper, but at the same time not to impair the comfort of use of the footwear, in an improvement of the invention it may be provided that the zipper or a zipper support attached with the zipper is subject to its lower end in a longitudinally movable way in the wall of footwear. In this way it is achieved, on the one hand, that in the case of rolling or folding forward movements of the shoe, the zipper can move with respect to the wall of the shoe, in particular the material of the upper part of the footwear in the instep area and therefore does not lead to a sinking of the footwear wall. On the other hand, a drive with one hand of the zipper is allowed during closing, since it is not necessary to hold the lower end of the zipper with the other hand.

The fastening means for a fastener with a longitudinal displacement capacity of this type of the zipper on the footwear wall can be configured basically differently, in particular in the form of displacement-guided means with limited freedom or displacement capacity limited longitudinal For example, a fastener may be guided in a longitudinal groove, which extends approximately parallel or tangentially to the longitudinal axis of the rack. For example, a fastener bolt in the form of a rivet or screw may be placed in the zipper or zipper support and be housed in a longitudinal groove in the wall of footwear or in the wall of footwear, so that Some displacement capacity is allowed. Although a displacement capacity in said axis is desired, the fastening means can be immovably configured in axes parallel to it or with only a reduced clearance, so that the fastening means are configured so that they can essentially move in A shaft

In this sense, the longitudinal displacement capacity or said displacement-guided means can be advantageously configured such that the zipper, in the case of flatly supporting the footwear on the ground, is in its displacement position maximum upwards, that is, for example, said fastening bolt is in contact with the upper end of the oblong hole. In this way it can be achieved that the zipper can be closed easily with one hand, since the zipper can no longer slide upwards, when the zipper cursor is pulled up. Said limitation of the capacity of longitudinal displacement naturally can also be achieved in another way, for example by associating a stop, with which the zipper comes into contact, when the shoe is in a flat support position on the ground. , so that the zipper can no longer go up.

However, on the other hand, the capacity of longitudinal displacement downwards is guaranteed, so that the zipper can move from said position downwards, in particular so as not to impair the comfort of use during the running of the footwear when walking.

In order to allow, despite the fastening of the zipper at its lower end in the footwear wall, that both zipper halves are released or separated, in an improvement of the invention it may be provided that only one half of the zipper in the bottom zipper end is attached to the footwear wall, while the other half zipper at the bottom zipper end is not fixed to the footwear wall.

In this regard, said fastening means are advantageously configured independently of said curling or are not formed by the cord. In this sense, said fastening means are provided in addition to the stringing, which naturally also joins the zipper or the zipper halves with the adjacent footwear wall.

As for the path of the stringing it may be provided that the stringing extends along at least one side of the rack and that one half of the rack with an edge area adjacent to this rack half of the opening section and / or widening. The curling can be extended in this respect in between said rack half and the edge area adjacent thereto of the opening and / or widening section, for, pulling or releasing the stringing, pulling said rack half more or less towards said edge zone. By means of the curling that extends in vaiven on a zipper side, an interstitial zone can be adjusted between the zipper and the adjacent blade edge and with it the tightness or width of the opening and / or widening section can be adjusted. In particular, the curling does not cross the zipper in at least one zipper section, in which the curling extends in such a way in one side of the zipper, so that the transverse forces that go beyond the section of Opening and / or widening are transmitted entirely by the zipper. The curling and the rack are arranged one after the other as seen in the transverse direction, so that said transverse forces are transmitted successively through the curling and the rack.

In order to guide the curling in the vaiven along said at least one side of the zipper, on said zipper side two rows of pins can be provided, of which one row is placed on a zipper support and the other row is placed in the edge zone of the opening and / or widening section, a cord being threaded in the said pair of rows of pins.

In a refinement of the invention, the curling extends along both sides of the zipper in each case in vaiven, without crossing the zipper. The curling can comprise, in particular along at least one zipper section, corded sections in both sides of the zipper, without in said zipper section the curling crosses the zipper. Correspondingly, the zipper transmits the transverse forces that go beyond the opening or widening section and joins both corded sections to the right and to the left of the zipper, when the zipper is closed. By providing corded sections in vaiven on both sides of the zipper, the narrowness or width of the footwear can be adjusted more finely, a straight path of the zipper being conserved, as the curling becomes narrower or wider to the right and to the left of the zipper.

In this sense, the curling can advantageously comprise four rows of pins, of which two extend on one side of the zipper and the other two on the other side of the zipper. In this sense, a cord can be threaded in each case in a pair of rows of pins on one side of the zipper and a couple of rows of pins on the other side of the zipper, these two cords being separated, of which one cord is threaded on the left side of the zipper and another cord is threaded on the other side of the zipper. However, alternatively to such separate cords, a common cord can also be threaded on both sides of the rack by means of the rows of pins provided therein, advantageously crossing only a single section of cord the central axis of the opening section and / or widening or rack, in particular at the lower end of the rack passes from the right side to the left side of the opening or widening section.

By means of the guide that does not pass through the zipper of the cordon, the shoe can be opened and closed without opening or closing the cordon only by means of the zipper. The curling is only used to adjust the narrowness or width of the shoe and can be adjusted in the direction of a previous pre-adjustment with the zipper closed. Correspondingly, the curling can be placed completely independently of the zipper on the footwear, so that the zipper can be operated freely and independently of the curling.

However, in an alternative refinement of the invention, it may also be provided to operate the curling by means of the zipper or to fit it with it, so that the user of the footwear when putting on the footwear only has to operate the zipper and in this sense, the curling so to speak is automatically activated together. In this regard, the curling is advantageously coupled to the zipper in such a way that a zipper closure tightens the curling. Through the

55

The tension produced by closing the zipper and the narrowing through the closing cord can be controlled, taking place in this case an individual automatic adaptation to the respective contour of the foot, since the cord is closed more intensely wherever it is still more game, than where the footwear is already in close contact. At the same time, it is not necessary to tighten the curling itself in an uncomfortable way and close it by means of a knot or a loop, but rather it is only necessary to operate the zipper.

In this sense, in a further advantageous improvement of the invention, at least two sections of the curling can be joined by way of insertion with a sliding piece of the zipper. By tying two sections of the cord to the sliding zipper part, the zipper adjustment path can be doubled, that is, the stringing is fully tensioned by a cord adjustment path or the reverse is loosened, which is twice as large as the adjustment path of the slide slide. In this sense, the sliding piece pulls both sections by tensioning them, which apart from said doubling of the adjustment path also allows a more uniform application of the traction of stripping that occurs, since the curling can be tensioned from different sides, for example from the right and from the left. Advantageously, the sections connected with the sliding part of the zipper run on different sides of the stringing, for example in such a way that one section is threaded in a deflection eye on the left side and the other section in a deflection eye on the side right of the stringing.

Basically, it is also conceivable to tie only one section or only one section of the stringing on one side of the rack to the sliding part of the rack. In this way, a finer dosage of the tension of the stringing can be achieved, which also requires less force for its operation. Such an arrangement may be provided in particular in the case of very long zippers, which also in the case of tying a section cause a sufficient adjustment path for the curling. However, alternatively it is also conceivable to join more than two sections of the curling with the sliding part of the zipper, to more than just double the adjustment path of the zipper, for example triple or quadruple it. This can be advantageous, for example in the case of very short zippers, so that in the case of a very short adjustment path of the sliding part, however, shortening or, conversely, sufficient lengthening of the curling . For example, in this case it may be provided to join the sections that exit from the lowermost pins of the stringing and a pair of sections that exit from pins arranged higher with the sliding piece, preferably through a corresponding deviation of the cord.

In order to achieve, despite a predetermined path of firm adjustment of the zipper, an individual adaptation of the desired tension of the cord, which occurs when the zipper is closed, in an advantageous improvement of the invention, means are associated with the cord Adjust to adjust the length of the curling and with it the tension of the curling that can be achieved by closing the zipper.

In this sense, said adjustment means can be configured basically in a different way. For example, longitudinal adjustment means may be provided, to vary the length of the cordon of the cord, which can take place, for example, by guiding the cord in the form of a loop by means of a clamping means that can be released, so that By adjusting the length of the loop subject to pressure by the means of pressure fastening and with the "lost length" the length of the cord that actually runs in the stringing can be varied. Alternatively or additionally, said longitudinal adjustment means may comprise a regulating device in the sliding part of the zipper, in order to modify the section of the cord attached to the sliding part of the zipper, that is to say pulling the cord into a sliding piece of zipper by tightening it further or less and then be able to fix it.

In a further advantageous refinement of the invention, a pre-adjustment of the stringing length or of the stringing tension can be made which can be achieved correspondingly also because the length of the stringing path, which the cord must follow, can be modified. In particular, the pre-adjusting means may comprise at least one deviation element preferably in the form of a hook, to which the cord may or may not deviate optionally to lengthen or shorten the path that the cord must follow.

In a further advantageous refinement of the invention, the zipper can run essentially parallel to the stringing, in particular approximately centered between four rows of pins or hooks or means for deflecting the stringing or between two stripping sections in each case in they go to the right and to the left of the zipper. In this sense, parallel to the stringing does not mean parallel to the path of the cord, but in parallel to a longitudinal central plane through the opening or widening section, in whose edge areas the stringing is provided.

The invention will be explained in more detail below by means of a preferred embodiment and the associated drawings. In the drawings, they show:

As shown in the figures, the footwear 1 can be configured as a boot, whose blade 2 extends above the ankle and comprises a foot section 2a as well as a cane section 2b. The blade 2 is joined in a known manner with a sole 3.

Said blade 2 may be configured in a closed manner. To be able to place and remove more easily, the blade 2 comprises an opening and widening section 4, which according to the illustrated embodiment extends from a front side of the cane section 2b to the interior of the foot section 2a. However, said opening and widening section 4 can also extend on one side, for example on an internal side of the channel section 2b. However, the front arrangement shown in the figures is preferred, since in this case the curling can better adjust the footwear of the shoe.

Said opening and widening section 4 may be configured in a manner known as an interstitial opening of the blade 2, which can be closed by means of closing means. In this sense, said closing means comprise, as the figures show, a curling 5 as well as a zipper 6, in order to be able to close and narrow said opening and widening section 11, so that the blade 2 comes into contact with the foot to measure. In this sense, the stringing 5 as well as the rack 6 extend along said opening and widening section 4 and thereby essentially parallel to each other, not crossing the stringing 5 the rack 6, but only extends laterally along the zipper 6 with corded sections in each case in vaiven 5a and 5b. Said curling sections 5a and 5b join the zipper 6 with the adjacent edge areas of the opening and / or widening section 4 or the material of the adjacent upper part of the footwear.

The zipper 6 extends in this respect as a tongue between the edges 4a and 4b of the opening and widening section 4. The curling 5 or its two curling sections 5a and 5b bind the tongue formed by the zipper 6 to said edges 4a and 4b of the opening and broadening section 4 and cross the gaps in the footwear wall 15a and 15b between said tongue and said edges 4a and 4b.

The stringing 5 comprises four rows of deflection pins 7, which are arranged one behind the other in pairs along the edges of the opening and spreading section 4, so that two rows of the deflection pins 7 are they extend on the right side and two other rows extend on the left side of said opening and widening section 4. In this sense, said deflection pins 7 can be non-nested ribbon pins, but in principle also hooks for hanging the cord 8, pins or other means of deflection for said cord 8. As shown in Figure 2, a row of pins 7aa, according to the visual direction of Figure 2, is arranged on the left edge 4a of the opening section and / or widening 4 and a second row of pins 7ab is disposed in the rack support 13a adjacent thereto of the left rack half. On the right side, according to the visual direction of Figure 2, the rack 6 is arranged on the edge 4b of the opening and / or widening section 4 a row of additional pins 7bb and on the rack support 13b adjacent to the a row of additional pins 7ba is arranged on the other half of the rack.

As shown in Figure 2, the pins 7 are arranged approximately flush with the edges of the footwear wall gap, if necessary slightly offset backwards, to allow a complete closure of the footwear wall gap 15a or 15b . In this regard, the pins 7 are advantageously oriented in such a way that the passage openings or threading openings defined by the pins 7 extend with their main axes parallel or tangentially to the edges of the respective footwear wall gap 15a or 15b, see Fig. 2. The pins 7 may be formed of folded tape material and are advantageously stationary in the footwear wall material or the zipper support, said pins 7 being arranged on the inner side of the wall of footwear, which is directed towards the foot or leg.

In this respect, the cord 8 is threaded in each case in the left side of the rack in the rows of pins 7aa and 7ab, so that in said side of the rack joins the rack support with said edge area of the shovel. Likewise, the cord 8, or a second cord, is threaded on the other side of the rack in the rows of pins 7bb and 7ba provided there, to join the other half of the rack with the other

edge of the opening and / or widening section.

In this regard, each cord section 5a and 5b can be advantageously threaded with a double cross passage, in particular such that the cord 8 passes in sinuous form between right and left pins, but in this respect on each side , that is to say in each row of pins 7aa or 7ab it is only threaded into one of every two pins, so that a sinuous path in the form of a sawtooth is obtained together. However, to thread all the pins, the cord 8 is threaded into two sections, the second section being threaded in the pins not occupied by the first section, so that two sinuous paths that intersect are obtained, see the figure 2.

In this regard, the cord 8 is advantageously threaded from the bottom up and can be fixed on the upper edge of the shoe by means of interlocking means 11, for example in the form of a cable clamp 12. Correspondingly, it is only necessary to pull the lace up out of the footwear and fixed there, to tighten the stringing 5.

In this regard, the curling 5 is arranged covered under the zipper and the edges of the opening and widening section, so that the curling cannot be seen from the outer side of the shoe and is not exposed to any external influence To this end, said rows of pins 7aa and 7bb may be arranged away from the edges of the opening and widening section 4 slightly inwardly and the rows of pins 7ab and 7ba may be arranged slightly away from the edges of the supports. of rack 13 displaced slightly towards rack 6. Alternatively or additionally, for example, the edge areas 4a and 4b of the opening and spreading section 4 may be configured so that they protrude towards or overlap with the rack 6, so that the rack supports 13 carrying the respective rack half and the cord 5 are covered.

In this sense, the zipper can be a conventional hook zipper or alternatively also be configured in the form of a latch-shaped profile closure, as is known for example in the case of frozen bags. To drive the elements with drag so that they can be hooked and unhooked from each other, the rack 6 presents in a known manner a sliding piece 9, which with its displacement engages the elements with the drag between each other or vice versa disengages them. In said sliding piece 9 it can be pivotally articulated in a manner similarly known in sf to a gripping element, in order to be able to push or pull the sliding piece 9 for opening and closing.

As shown in particular in Figure 2, the rack 6 advantageously extends approximately centrally with respect to the stringing 5, so that the deflection pins 7 of the stringing 5 extend in each case in two rows along the length of the zipper 6 on opposite sides of it, see figure 2.

In this sense, the zipper 6 can extend as far as its length over the entire bead 5, so that in the closed state of the zipper 6 the bead 5 is completely covered, see Figure 1. The bead sections 5a and 5b in this case, on the right or left side of the rack 6, they are covered together in each case by means of the edge area of the opening and / or widening section 4 and the rack support adjacent thereto. Said pins 7 of the four rows of pins 7aa, 7ab; 7ba, 7bb may be placed on an inner side, in particular under the edge areas of the opening and / or widening section 4 and the respective zipper halves.

According to the embodiment of figure 2, the curling 5 can be configured or operated independently of the rack 6.

However, alternatively to this, the stringing 5 can also be coupled with the rack 6. This is shown in the embodiment according to Figure 3, which apart from said coupling is configured similarly to the embodiment described above, so that it is remitted to the previous embodiment. The sections 8u of the cord 8 that come from the two lower deviation pins 7 can be advantageously guided in this case in each case around a deflection eyelet 10, which can be arranged in the area of the opening position of the piece sliding 8 advantageously essentially directly under the rack 6. By means of said deflection pins 10, the corresponding sections 8u of the cord 8 can be guided essentially directly in the direction of the longitudinal direction of the rack 6 towards its sliding piece 9. Said sections 8u of the cord 8 are attached in this respect in the sliding piece 9, so that the sliding piece 9 draws said sections 8u of the cord 8. If the sliding part 9 of the zipper 6 is closed, the curling 5 is tensioned by the drag of said sections 8u, using the adjustment path of the sliding part 9 so to speak doubly, since the sliding part 9 drags two sections of the curb 5.

To be able to individually adjust the tension of the stringing 5 that can be achieved by closing the rack 6 or the traction closure of the stringing 5 that can be achieved in upper and lower stringing sections, to the stringing 5, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, in a section The center is associated with a cord brake 18 and / or tension and clamping or adjusting means 20, and adjustment means 11 are associated with the upper strand end 5, by means of which the cord 8 can be pre-adjusted as soon as to your starting position. To be more exact, the path that the cord 8 or its length must travel can be varied.

Said adjustment means 11 can also advantageously comprise several hanging hooks and / or clamps 12, which can be arranged separated from each other between the true deviation pins 10. As shown in Figure 2, the cord 8 can be made shorter by hanging it on one of the snap fasteners 12 or can be lengthened, so that the curling becomes narrower or wider at the bottom, or a central section of the cord can be adjusted in a clamp 15 so that it is narrower or wider , so that when the zipper 6 is operated, the stringing 5 closes by traction corresponding to the previous adjustment selected with greater or lesser intensity.

Said pre-adjustment means 11 and / or its hanging hooks 12 may also be associated with the lower end of the stringing 5, to vary the path that the cord 8 must travel along the lower end, see Figure 3.

The braking, tensioning, adjusting and / or clamping means 18 and 20 advantageously associated with a central section may comprise clamps, by means of which the cord 8 can be interlocked in a central section between the upper and lower end of the bead 5, for example after a lower bead section has been firmly locked in the desired manner, or is also configured only as a cable brake, which slows a sliding of the cable tension set above. An upper stringing section can be adjusted separately for its tension, so that different stresses can be set on different stringing sections.

In particular, said tensioning, adjusting and / or clamping means 20 may comprise a rotating wheel or a cord reel 22, around which the cord is guided or linked, so that turning the cord reel 22 can let go or pull on that cord. As Figure 4 shows, the cord 8 is advantageously linked in this way by way of a sailboat winch or winch around said cord winder, such that it is unwound on both sides, that is to say the part of the cord that is unwound from one side of the cord reel 22 leads to the upper part of the cord, while the part of the cord that unwinds from the other side leads to the bottom of the cord. Therefore, said cord winding 22 is configured as a winch or winch, so that the turn in a tense direction the upper bending section and loosen the lower beading section and if it turns in the opposite direction is loosened the upper stringing section and the lower stringing section is tensioned.

Advantageously, a cord reel 22 of this type may be combined with a threading of the cord 8 configured differently in the different curling sections. As shown in Figure 4, in particular in the section of the lower cords below the foot joint and / or below said cord reel 22, a sinuous cords may be provided, that is to say, they are guided in vaiven the cords in the form of meanwhile, while in the upper part of the cordon above the foot joint and / or above said cord reel 22 the cord 8 may be guided in a cross step. Through a different cord passage of this type in different sections of cordedness, a better comfort of use can be achieved, in particular in the sense that the curling can work or pass in better live in the lower cording section, while in the section a firm fit is achieved from the upper cane. A corded or different type of passage of this type may be reasonable in a refinement of the invention also without said cord reel 22.

As shown in figure 4, the cord 8 is advantageously guided around said cord reel 22 in such a way that when turning upwards, that is to say according to figure 4 counterclockwise, the lower stringing part is tensioned and the part is loosened of upper corded. This results in intuitive operation, since the user intuitively relates an upward turn with pulling up the cord.

Advantageously, said cord reel 22 is configured with automatic stop and / or with an interlocking device, which retains a previously set rotation position, so that under normal cordon tensions said reel does not rotate on its own.

As shown in Figure 5, an interlocking means 22 can also be associated with said cord reel, to be able to subsequently tension or subsequently release the cord 8 directly on the reel 22, so that through said tension distribution, the level can be adjusted of tension in the section of inferior and superior curling.

As shown in Figure 1, the lower end of the zipper 6 is attached to the shoe garment wall or the shoe garment wall material in a longitudinally movable manner. In this sense, the fastening means 19 provided for this purpose have a degree of movable freedom on an axis, which extends approximately tangentially or parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rack, so that the lower end of the rack 6 can move with respect to the wall of footwear. In this way, a dent in the wall of the shoe is avoided while rolling the shoe on the floor. On the other hand, the zipper can be closed despite it with one hand. For this, said degree of freedom or the movement allowed by it is limited. A limited freedom of this type can be achieved, for example, by a longitudinal groove-like guide. For example, a holding rod 21, which is attached to the zipper or the zipper support, can be guided in a longitudinal groove in the garment wall of

footwear, see figure 1.

In a refinement of the invention, said freedom of the zipper is limited in the longitudinal direction such that when the footwear is supported flat on the ground, that is to say a non-rolling position of the footwear, the The zipper is in its upper position, that is to say displaced in a maximum way upwards, and cannot continue pulling it upwards. This allows a simple one-hand zipper closure. For example, the holding rod 21, which is attached to the zipper, may be in contact with the upper end of said longitudinal groove, when the shoe is laid flat on the floor.

In this sense, advantageously only one half of the zipper is fastened in the wall of footwear, so that the zipper can be fully opened and the two zipper halves can be completely separated.
