Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for closing two parts of a sports shoe comprising a connecting member, preferably not extensible, intended to connect the two parts of the shoe, means for securing a first end of this connecting member to a fastening element intended to be fixed to one of the parts of the shoe, a tensioning lever articulated on a support intended to be fixed to the other part of the shoe and on which the second end is articulated of said connecting member and means for unlocking the tensioning lever in the folded position.
  • the tensioning lever provided with a row of notches for hooking the loop, present at its end a small hook intended to hang in a notch of the support of the tensioning lever.
  • the part of the shoe on which the support of the tensioning lever is mounted must have a determined curvature. It is therefore necessary to make a particular loop adapted to each shoe curvature, which is obviously not rational.
  • such an auxiliary hook forms a very marked projection on the shoe.
  • the tensioning lever is locked in two notches of its support, in the closed position, an auxiliary lever, mounted coaxially with the tensioning lever, making it possible to unlock the tensioning lever by releasing it of his notches. Unlocking requires elastic deformation and the auxiliary lever protrudes above the tensioning lever.
  • the locking position is closely linked to the position of the tensioning lever in the closed position, that is to say to the curvature of the shoe.
  • the end of the tensioning lever is hooked under a hook by elastically deforming it.
  • This retainer is not a secure lock due to the elasticity of the hook.
  • the release of the tensioning lever also requires a higher force the higher the resistance of the hook to deformation.
  • the present invention provides a device for closing two parts of a sports shoe overcoming the drawbacks of the above-mentioned devices.
  • the device according to the invention as claimed is kept closed without regard to the principle of non-alignment of the points of articulation and attachment.
  • the closing device is particularly flat, of low height. It is able to automatically adapt to the different shoe curvatures encountered. In addition, it can be mounted on particularly flat parts of the shoe. In practical, the principle of non-alignment these points of articulation will always be respected, but this non-alignment can be very low.
  • the locking means consist of a pawl mounted at the end of the tensioning lever and cooperating with a front toothing provided at the end of the extension of the connecting member.
  • This ratchet can be released by a small auxiliary lever or by an arm on which it is possible to press with the thumb.
  • the locking means consist of a transverse bar sliding in the tensioning lever and coming to engage in a notch formed in the end of the extension of the connecting member.
  • the essential characteristic of the invention consists in locking together the tensioning lever and the connecting member which can be either a loop or a bar provided with hooks intended to receive a loop attached to the other part of the shoe .
  • the connecting member can be any, simple or complex, adjustable or not.
  • the tensioning lever it may have two arms between which the link member is articulated or, conversely, have a single arm engaging in the fork-shaped end of the link member. This is to show that countless variants are possible with regard to the connecting member, the attachment point and the shape of the tensioning lever.
  • the closure device comprises a tensioning lever 1 consisting of a plate slightly curved and split so as to have two arms 1a and 1b articulated respectively on two ears 2 and 3 of a support 4 consisting of a metal plate with two edges 2 and 3 bent at right angles, fixed on one of the flaps 5 of the shoe shown in section by at least one rivet 6.
  • the tensioning lever 1 is articulated on the ears 2 and 3 by means of two riveted axes 7 and 8.
  • the bar 9 is provided with a threaded rod 11 on which is screwed an intermediate plate 12 on which is hinged a rectangular loop 13 which hangs in one of the teeth 14 of a rack 15 fixed by a rivet 16 on the other flap 17 of the shoe. All parts of the closing device are made of metal.
  • the pull bar 9 has an extension 9a beyond its articulation axis 10, an extension which extends between the two arms 1a and 1b, parallel to the tensioning lever 1 and in the thickness of the latter, in the closed folded position shown in Figures 1 to 3.
  • Around the axis 10 is mounted a spring horn 18 whose bent arms are respectively supported by the extension 9a and the tensioning lever 1 and which tends to maintain the tensioning lever 1 and the bar 9 in the folded position shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • the front end of the extension 9a is provided with a horizontal toothing 19.
  • a pawl 21 around an axis 22.
  • This pawl has the same width as the bar 9.
  • a hunting horn torsion spring 23 which tends to keep the spout of the pawl 21 engaged in the toothing 19.
  • the pawl 21 has an arm 21a extending under the end of the tensioning lever 1, in a clearance therefrom.
  • a small auxiliary lever 24 At the end of the tensioning lever 1 is articulated a small auxiliary lever 24 about an axis 25.
  • This auxiliary lever 24 has a finger 24a engaging between the arm 21a of the pawl 21 and the tensioning lever 1. It therefore tends to be held in the position shown in the drawing by the pawl spring 23.
  • the auxiliary lever 24 is provided with grooves 26 facilitating its actuation by preventing the sliding of the user's finger, respectively of his glove.
  • the spring 23 being relatively weak, the actuation of the lever 24 requires only a small effort.
  • the tilting of the auxiliary lever 24 in the direction of arrow F2 (fig.3) has the effect of rotating the pawl 21 in the direction of arrow F4.
  • This pawl 21 then departs from the toothing 19 to abut against the upper wall of its housing 20, by releasing the bar 9.
  • the user can then raise the tensioning lever 1 in the open position shown in FIG. 4. loop 13 is then released in a known manner.
  • the user After engaging the loop 13 in the rack 15, folds the tensioning lever 1 on the shoe. During this folding, the pawl 21 comes to slide on the teeth of the toothing 19, then engages in one of the teeth, again locking together the tensioning lever 1 and the bar 9. It should be noted that the tensioning lever 1 can always be folded down completely and the pawl 21 automatically occupies a adequate locking position.
  • This first embodiment is susceptible of numerous variants.
  • One of these variants is partially shown in Figure 5, which is a sectional view similar to that of Figure 3.
  • the elements identical to those of the first embodiment are designated by the same references.
  • the slot separating the arms 1a and 1b of the tensioning lever 1 is extended towards the end into a slot 27 in which a pawl 28 is articulated around an axis 29.
  • This pawl 28 has an arm widening in shape of rectangular push button 30 flush with the upper face of the bent end of the tensioning lever 1. Below this push button 30 is a recess making it possible to push the push button 30 into the tensioning lever 1.
  • the ratchet spout 28 is itself serrated with a toothing of shape conjugate to the toothing 19 so as to distribute the force on the ratchet spout.
  • the pawl 28 is held elastically in the position shown either by means of a hunting horn spring, not shown, as in the first embodiment, or by a helical spring 31 working in compression between the push button 30 and the bottom of the recess 32. Instead of the spring 31 it would be possible to provide a simple piece of elastic rubber.
  • the operation of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, with the difference that the user must press with the thumb on the pusher 30 at the same time as he raises the tensioning lever 1 by a or two fingers.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates an alternative embodiment in which the push button 30 is replaced by an enlarged ridged end 33 extending substantially parallel to an elbow rim 34 of the tensioning lever 1.
  • the user pinches the parts 33 and 34 together between the finger and the thumb.
  • the tensioning lever 11 also has two arms 1a 'and 1b' articulated on a plate 4 'provided with two ears 2' and 3 'engaging in two slots provided at the end of each of the arms 1a' and lb ', l 'articulation being ensured by two pins 35 and 36 driven in each of the arms.
  • a pull bar 9 ' is articulated on the tensioning lever 1' around an axis 10 '.
  • the bar 9 ' has an extension 9a' beyond its hinge axis 10 '.
  • the end of this extension has an oblique face 37 in which is formed a horizontal notch 38.
  • a transverse bar 39 passing through the tensioning lever 1 'right through through a bore having an oblong profile 40 s' extending parallel to the tensioning lever and allowing the bar 39 to move from one end to the other of this profile 40.
  • a blind hole 41 in the tensioning lever 1 ' in which is housed a spring 42 pushing the bar 39 at the bottom of the notch 38.
  • the ends of the bar 38 protrude on either side of the tensioning lever 1 'and are integral with two plates 43 and 44, preferably ridged, allowing the user to move the bar 39 in the direction of the arrow to disengage it from the notch 38, to allow the tensioning lever 1 'to be raised.
  • the bar 39 comes to slide on the ramp 37 by compressing the feeling 42, then automatically falls back into the locked position shown in the drawing.
  • the improvement only concerns the locking in the closed position of the tensioning lever and of the pull bar.
  • the invention therefore extends to all forms of execution of the tensioning lever and of the traction member articulated on this tensioning lever.
  • This traction element can in particular be in one or more parts; it can wear a buckle, as shown, or a rack to which a hinged mouth hangs on the other part of the shoe.
  • the tensioning lever does not necessarily have to have two arms; the connecting member could itself have a fork-shaped end between which would be articulated the tensioning lever.
  • the locking could be performed as in the third embodiment according to FIGS. 7 and 8.
