Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ski-boot lacing system.
  • the boots When going uphill on skis, the boots must be laced loosely so as not to impair blood circulation in the skiers feet.
  • the ski-boot When the ski-boot is laced tightly, the foot becomes cold and tires far more rapidly than in a comparatively loosely laced boot.
  • the object of the present invention to enable the laces of the boot to be tightened to a higher or lesser degree in one or more manipulations.
  • the invention is characterized by the fact that provision of tensioning means enables one to fasten the boot, whereby two ends of each lace loop are attached to one closing flap of the boot and engaged at various lengths by corresponding. tensioning means arranged on the opposite closing flap.
  • FIG. 1 shows a front view of a ski-boot provided with tensioning means and lace loops engaged thereby to tighten the boot;
  • Fig. 2 shows a tensioning member, as seen from the side
  • Fig. 3 is a top Fig. 2;
  • Fig. 4 shows the holder of a tensioning member attached without a base plate to a boot
  • Fig. 5 shows in section the holder for a tensioning member with a base plate attached to a boot.
  • lace loops 12 are attached to anchoring means or eyelets 11, by means of which loops the ski-boot is laced.
  • the pivot holder fork 14 On the overlapping flat portion 13 of the ski-boot is attached the pivot holder fork 14 with the tensioning buckle 15, the latter having a plurality of recesses (not numbered) on its underface.
  • Fig. 4 the holder fork is riveted to the overlapping flap portion 13 without any base plate.
  • the tension of the individual laces 12 pulls the holder forks 14 into the position indicated by dot-dash lines so that the overlapping flap portion 13 is rather pressed into the skiers foot.
  • This portion is upset and forms a head which abuts the end of the inner flap portion 16 of the boot so that the two flaps cannot slip or slide over one another.
  • an unbearable pressure is exerted on the skiers foot.
  • a base plate 14a is attached to the pivot carrying fork portion 14 which plate extends by at least twice the length of the distance be tween the pivot axis of the tensioning lever 15 and the location of the pivot holder fork 14 on the leather, and
  • closure means for boot and like structures having overlapping flaps in closed condition of said boot comprising pairs of anchoring means on one of said flaps, tensioning means opposite said anchoring means and arranged on the other flap, a plurality of separate loop means each terminating in two ends, the ends of each loop means being connected to a respectivepair of said anchoring means, each of said tensioning means including a base plate provided at one .end thereof with a holder carrying a pivot, and a tension lever arranged for swinging movement on said pivot and swingable to a position away-from said base plate in said closedcondition, said tension lever being provided with successive recesses at the underface thereof, said loop means being, respectively, engageable with corresponding tension levers in a predetermined recess thereof whereafter said tension levers may be swung to closed condition of said boot, each respective base plate being positioned on said other flap to extend at a level intermediate two anchoring means of each pair thereof, whereby upon engagement of said loop means with said tension
  • Closure means for a boot with overlapping flaps in closed position thereof comprising pairs of longitudinally spaced anchoring means on one of said flaps, tensioning means on the other flap, a plurality of separate loop means each terminating in two ends, the ends of each loop means being attached to a respective pair of said anchoring means, each of said tensioning means including a base plate provided at one end thereof with a holder carrying a pivot, and a tension lever arranged for swinging movement on said pivot and swingable to position away from said base plate, said tension lever being provided with successive recesses, said loop means being, respectively, engageable with corresponding tension levers in predetermined recesses thereof for closing said boot, each respective base plate being positioned on said other flap to extend from said pivot toward the anchoring means and to extend at a level intermediate two anchoring means of each pair thereof, whereby upon engagement with said loop means and in closed position of said boot pressure caused by said tension levers on said pivot holders is taken up by the respective base plates which come to lie over the respective overlapping boot flaps.
  • Closure means for a boot with overlapping flaps in closed condition thereof comprising pairs of longitudinally spaced anchoring means on one of said flaps, tensioning means opposite said anchoring means and arranged on the other flap, a plurality of separate loop means each terminating in two ends, the ends of each loop means being connected to a respective pair of said anchoring means, ⁇ each of said tensioning means including a base plate provided atronenend thereof with a holder carrying a pivot, and a tension lever arranged for swinging movement on said pivot and swingable to a position away frornrsaid base plate in said closed eondition said tension leverbeing provided with successive'recesses atthelunder face ther'eofiextending transversely of theileng'th of said tension lever, .said loop means :being, :respectively, engageabl'e with corresponding tension levers :in selected recesses thereof, whereafter :sai'd tension ilevers may ibe swung 1 individually to closed condition of .s
