Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Klemmvorrichtung zur lösbaren Fixierung von Schnürsenkeln.The present invention relates to a clamping device for releasably fixing laces.
Bei Stiefeln für spezielle Arbeitseinsätze, insbesondere Feuerwehrstiefeln, haben sich Hilfsmittel zur Fixierung der Schnürsenkel als vorteilhaft erwiesen. Diese Hilfsmittel, wie beispielsweise am Stiefel befestigte Klemmen und andere mechanische Verschlüsse, stellen gegenüber von Hand gebundenen Schleifen und Knoten eine gute Alternative dar, um die Schnürung über dem Fuß gestrafft zu halten, da sie ein rascheres Fixieren der Schnürsenkel ermöglichen und mit ihnen ein unerwünschtes Lösen der Schnürsenkel besser verhindert werden kann.In boots for special work, especially firefighters, aids for fixing the laces have proven to be advantageous. These aids, such as boot-mounted clamps and other mechanical fasteners, provide a good alternative to hand-tied loops and knots to keep the laces taut above the foot as they allow for faster fixation of the laces and undesirable loosening of the laces Loosen the laces better can be prevented.
Als ein Mittel zur Fixierung einer Schnürung an einem Stiefel ist eine an der Zunge befestigte Klemme bekannt, an der die Schnürsenkel durch Schließen eines mechanischen Hebels fixiert werden. Bei Verwendung dieser Klemme werden beim Fixieren die Schnürsenkel zunächst mit der einen Hand ergriffen und bis zum Erreichen der gewünschten Straffung der Schnürung angezogen. Dann wird unter Aufrechterhaltung der Zugkraft an den Schnürsenkeln mit der anderen Hand der Hebel an der Klemme umgelegt, wodurch die Schürsenkel fixiert werden. Die bekannte Klemme gewährleistet einen sicheren Halt der am Stiefel gestrafften Schnürsenkel. Nachteilig dabei ist jedoch, dass zur Straffung und Fixierung der Schnürung beide Hände eingesetzt werden müssen.As a means for fixing a lacing on a boot, there is known a clip fixed to the tongue to which the laces are fixed by closing a mechanical lever. When using this clamp, the laces are first grasped with one hand while fixing and tightened until the desired tightening of the lacing. Then, while maintaining the tension on the shoelaces with the other hand, the lever is folded over at the clamp, whereby the shoelaces are fixed. The well-known clamp ensures a secure hold of the laces tightened on the boot. The disadvantage here is that both hands must be used to streamline and fix the lacing.
Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Klemmvorrichtung für Schnürsenkel bereitzustellen, mit der die gestrafften Schnürsenkel einfacher und lediglich mit einer Hand fixiert werden können.It is the object of the present invention to provide a lacing device for laces, with which the tightened laces can be fixed more easily and only with one hand.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Klemmvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs 1.This object is achieved by a clamping device with the features of the main claim. 1
Erfindungsgemäß wird eine Klemmvorrichtung zur lösbaren Fixierung von Schnürsenkeln bereitgestellt, die ein Gehäuse mit vier das Gehäuse durchquerenden Kanälen zur Aufnahme jeweils eines Schnürsenkels umfasst, wobei jedem Kanal eine in Richtung des Kanals verschiebbarer Klemmbolzen zugeordnet ist und die Kanäle so ausgebildet sind, dass ihr Querschnitt in Abhängigkeit von der Position der Klemmbolzen verringert werden kann, um die in den Kanälen angeordneten Schnürsenkel festzuklemmen.According to the invention, a clamping device for releasably fixing shoelaces is provided which comprises a housing with four channels passing through the housing for receiving a respective shoelace, wherein each channel is assigned a displaceable in the direction of the channel clamping bolt and the channels are formed so that their cross-section Depending on the position of the clamping bolt can be reduced to clamp the laces arranged in the channels.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen, vorzugsweise zur Befestigung an einem Stiefel eingerichteten Klemmvorrichtung kann eine sichere Fixierung von Schnürsenkeln erreicht werden, da die Klemmbolzen durch die Zugkräfte, die durch die gestraffte Schnürung auf die Schnürsenkel ausgeübt und durch Reibung auf die Klemmbolzen übertragen werden, in den Bereich der Kanäle mit verringertem Querschnitt mitgenommen werden, wo die Schnürsenkel zwischen den Klemmbolzen und den Wänden des Gehäuses der Klemmvorrichtung festgeklemmt werden. Da der Querschnitt der Kanäle in der Zugrichtung abnimmt, erhöht sich die Klemmwirkung mit zunehmenden Zugkräften und je weiter die Klemmbolzen in die Verriegelungsrichtung der Klemme gezogen werden.With the invention, preferably for attachment to a boot equipped clamping device secure fixation of shoelaces can be achieved because the clamping bolts by the tensile forces exerted by the tightened lacing on the laces and friction transferred to the clamping bolt in the field of Chases are taken with reduced cross-section, where the laces between the clamping bolt and the walls of the housing of the clamping device are clamped. As the cross-section of the channels in the pulling direction decreases, the clamping action increases with increasing tensile forces and the farther the clamping bolts are pulled in the locking direction of the clamp.
Darüber hinaus können die Schnürsenkel mit einer einzigen Hand gestrafft und fixiert werden, da die Klemmbolzen beim Straffen der Schnürung durch Ziehen an den Schnürsenkeln entgegen der Verriegelungsrichtung durch die Reibung in den Bereich der Kanäle mit vergrößertem Querschnitt mitgenommen werden, wo keine Klemmkräfte auf die Schnürsenkel wirken und diese im wesentlichen widerstandsfrei beweglich sind. Sobald die gewünschte Straffung der Schnürung erreicht ist, werden die Schnürsenkel losgelassen und die Klemmbolzen durch die Zugkräfte der gespannten Schnürung in Verriegelungsrichtung mitgenommen, sodass die Schnürsenkel festgeklemmt werden. Dieser Vorgang kann ohne den Einsatz der zweiten Hand ausgeführt werden. Insgesamt weist die erfindungsgemäße Klemmvorrichtung eine sehr kompakte Form und Bauweise auf.In addition, the laces can be tightened and fixed with a single hand, since the clamping bolts are taken by tightening the laces by pulling the laces against the locking direction by the friction in the region of the channels with increased cross section, where no clamping forces acting on the laces and these are substantially resistant to movement. As soon as the desired tightening of the lacing has been achieved, the laces are released and the clamping bolts are pulled along in the locking direction by the tensile forces of the taut lacing so that the laces are clamped tight. This process can be performed without the use of the second hand. Overall, the clamping device according to the invention has a very compact shape and design.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Klemmbolzen miteinander verbunden und gemeinsam verschiebbar.According to a preferred embodiment, the clamping bolts are connected together and displaceable together.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weisen die miteinander verbundenen Klemmbolzen einen von der Außenseite des Gehäuses betätigbaren Hebel auf, durch den die miteinander verbundenen Klemmbolzen verschoben werden können. Der Hebel kann auch als Drücker ausgebildet sein, durch dessen Betätigung von der Außenseite des Gehäuses die Klemmbolzen entgegen der Verriegelungsrichtung bewegt werden können, sodass die Schnürsenkel freigegeben und gelöst werden.According to a further embodiment, the interconnected clamping bolts on an operable from the outside of the housing lever through which the interconnected clamping bolts can be moved. The lever can also be used as a pusher be formed, by the actuation of the outside of the housing, the clamping bolt can be moved against the locking direction, so that the laces are released and released.
Gemäß einer anderen bevorzugten Ausführungsform verjüngen sich die Querschnitte der Kanäle zwischen den Klemmbolzen und den gegenüberliegenden Wänden der Kanäle in einer Richtung senkrecht zur Verbindungsrichtung zwischen den Kanälen. Die Kanäle und die ihnen zugeordneten Klemmbolzen können jeweils nebeneinander angeordnet sein, wobei sich die Kanäle in derselben Richtung verjüngen.According to another preferred embodiment, the cross-sections of the channels between the clamping bolts and the opposite walls of the channels taper in a direction perpendicular to the direction of connection between the channels. The channels and their associated clamping bolts can each be arranged next to each other, with the channels tapering in the same direction.
Gemäß einer noch weiteren Ausführungsform sind die Klemmbolzen so ausgebildet, dass sie beim Verschieben an einer oder mehreren Wänden des Gehäuses, in den Kanälen oder auch an einer oder mehreren Wänden des Gehäuses und in den Kanälen geführt werden. Insbesondere können die Klemmbolzen zwischen zwei einen Kanal definierenden Wänden geführt sein.According to yet another embodiment, the clamping bolts are designed so that they are guided when moving on one or more walls of the housing, in the channels or even on one or more walls of the housing and in the channels. In particular, the clamping bolts can be guided between two walls defining a channel.
Gemäß noch einer Ausführungsform sind im Gehäuse auf einer Seite einer Querschnittsebene der Klemmvorrichtung die Klemmbolzen und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite die zur Aufnahme der Schnürsenkel vorgesehenen Bereiche der Kanäle angeordnet und die Schnürsenkel zwischen den Klemmbolzen und den zu den Klemmbolzen gegenüberliegenden Wänden der Kanäle festklemmbar. Die Kanäle mit den ihnen zugeordneten Klemmbolzen können gemäß dieser Ausführungsform nebeneinander angeordnet werden.According to another embodiment, the clamping bolts are arranged in the housing on one side of a cross-sectional plane of the clamping device and on the opposite side of the regions provided for receiving the laces and the laces between the clamping bolt and the walls of the channels opposite to the clamping bolt clamped. The channels with their associated clamping bolts can be arranged side by side according to this embodiment.
Gemäß noch einer weiteren Ausführungsform erstrecken sich die Kanäle parallel und geradlinig durch das Gehäuse.According to yet another embodiment, the channels extend parallel and rectilinearly through the housing.
Gemäß einer anderen Ausführungsform weist die Klemmvorrichtung vier nebeneinander angeordnete Kanäle zur Aufnahme von vier Schnürsenkeln und vier an den Kanälen entsprechend angeordnete Klemmbolzen auf. Diese Ausführungsform der Klemmvorrichtung eignet sich insbesondere für Stiefel mit zwei unabhängigen Schnürungen. Mit Hilfe dieser Ausführungsform der Klemmvorrichtung können vier Schnürsenkel gleichzeitig mit einer Hand gestrafft und festgeklemmt werden.According to another embodiment, the clamping device has four adjacent channels for receiving four shoelaces and four correspondingly arranged on the channels clamping bolt. This embodiment of the clamping device is particularly suitable for boots with two independent lacing. With the help of this embodiment of the clamping device four laces can be tightened and clamped simultaneously with one hand.
Gemäß noch einer anderen Ausführungsform sind alle vier Klemmbolzen miteinander verbunden. Alternativ können jedoch auch jeweils zwei Klemmbolzen miteinander verbunden sein. Beispielsweise können die beiden innen liegend im Gehäuse angeordneten Klemmbolzen und die beiden außen im Gehäuse angeordneten Klemmbolzen miteinander verbunden werden, sodass jede der Schnürungen mit jeweils zwei Schnürsenkeln unabhängig von der anderen Schnürung fixiert und gelöst werden kann. Die Klemmbolzen und die vier Kanäle sind jeweils nebeneinander in einer Reihe angeordnet.According to yet another embodiment, all four clamping bolts are connected together. Alternatively, however, two clamping bolts can also be connected to each other. For example, the two clamping bolts arranged inside the housing and the two clamping bolts arranged outside in the housing can be connected to each other, so that each of the laces can be fixed and released with two laces each independently of the other lacing. The clamping bolts and the four channels are each arranged side by side in a row.
Erfindungsgemäß wird darüber hinaus ein Stiefel mit einer Klemmvorrichtung der zuvor beschriebenen Art erfindungsgemäß bereitgestellt, wobei die Klemmvorrichtung an der Zunge des Stiefels befestigt ist. Der erfindungsgemäße Stiefel kann mit Hilfe der Klemmvorrichtung rasch und unter Zuhilfenahme lediglich einer Hand geschlossen werden, wobei die Schnürsenkel zuverlässig fixiert sind und ein unerwünschtes Lösen verhindert werden kann.According to the invention a boot with a clamping device of the type described above is also provided according to the invention, wherein the clamping device is attached to the tongue of the boot. The boot according to the invention can be closed quickly and with the aid of the clamping device with the aid of only one hand, the laces are reliably fixed and unwanted loosening can be prevented.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst der Stiefel zwei Schnürungen, wobei die erste Schnürung an einem dem Vorderfuß entsprechenden vorderen Stiefelabschnitt und die zweite Schnürung am Schaft angeordnet ist.According to a preferred embodiment, the boot comprises two laces, wherein the first lacing is arranged on a front boot section corresponding to the front foot and the second lacing on the shaft.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die vier Schnürsenkel der beiden Schnürungen mit einer gemeinsamen Zugeinrichtung verbunden. Mit Hilfe der Zugeinrichtung können alle vier Schnürsenkel gleichzeitig straff gezogen und beide Schnürungen gleichzeitig gespannt werden. Dadurch wird ein sehr rasches Schließen des Stiefels möglich.According to a further preferred embodiment, the four laces of the two laces are connected to a common pulling device. With the help of the drawbar, all four laces can be pulled taut at the same time and both laces can be tensioned simultaneously. This makes a very fast closing of the boot possible.

Beim Einführen der Schnürsenkel 24, 26, 28, 30 in die Kanäle 23, 25, 27, 29 und auch beim Spannen der Schnürungen über dem Fuß durch Ziehen an den Schnürsenkeln 24, 26, 28, 30 werden die den Kanälen 23, 25, 27, 29 zugeordneten Klemmbolzen 39, 41, 43, 45 und damit die gesamte Klemmbolzenvorrichtung 53 in Richtung des Deckels 11 der Klemmvorrichtung und gegebenenfalls bis zum Erreichen der Endposition mitgenommen, da die Zähne 55 der Klemmbolzen 39, 41, 43, 45 mit den Schnürsenkeln 24, 26, 28, 30 in Berührung kommen. Die Klemmbolzen 39, 41, 43, 45 befinden sich nun in einem Bereich der Kanäle 23, 25, 27, 29, in dem der Durchmesser oder die Höhe der Kanäle 23, 25, 27, 29 so groß ist, dass die Schnürsenkel 24, 26, 28, 30 ohne oder lediglich mit geringem Widerstand nach oben (in
Das Lösen der Schnürsenkel 24, 26, 28, 30 erfolgt, indem die Klemmbolzenvorrichtung durch Drücken auf den Drücker 49 aus der zweiten Position in Richtung der ersten Position gedrückt wird, sodass die Klemmbolzen 39, 41, 43, 45 aus den Bereichen der Kanäle 23, 25, 27, 29 mit verringertem Durchmesser in die Bereiche der Kanäle 23, 25, 27, 29 mit vergrößertem Durchmesser verschoben und die Schnürsenkel 24, 26, 28, 30 freigegeben werden.The loosening of the laces 24, 26, 28, 30 takes place by pressing the clamping bolt device by pressing the pusher 49 from the second position in the direction of the first position, so that the clamping bolts 39, 41, 43, 45 from the areas of the channels 23rd , 25, 27, 29 reduced in diameter in the areas of the channels 23, 25, 27, 29 increased in diameter and the laces 24, 26, 28, 30 are released.
An der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung können zahlreiche Modifizierungen vorgenommen werden, ohne den Umfang der Erfindung zu verlassen. Die Form des Gehäuses kann auf vielfältige Weise abgewandelt werden. Im Gehäuse könnten die Wände zwischen den Kanälen weggelassen werden. Es ist denkbar, bei einer Ausführungsform zur Fixierung von vier Schnürsenkeln lediglich jeweils zwei Klemmbolzen miteinander zu verbinden, sodass jeweils zwei Schnürsenkel, die jeweils einer Schnürung zugeordnet sind, unabhängig voneinander gelöst werden können. Entsprechend könnten die jeweils verbundenen Klemmbolzen mit jeweils einem Hebel oder Drücker versehen sein, um sie unabhängig voneinander zu betätigen.Numerous modifications can be made to the apparatus of the invention without departing from the scope of the invention. The shape of the housing can be modified in many ways. In the housing, the walls between the channels could be omitted. It is conceivable, in an embodiment for fixing four shoelaces only two clamping bolts to connect each other, so that two shoelaces, each associated with a lacing, can be solved independently. Accordingly, the respectively connected clamping bolts could be provided with a lever or pusher to actuate them independently of each other.
Darüber hinaus ist es denkbar, den Drücker 49 der Klemmbolzenvorrichtung an einer anderen Stelle vorzusehen und beispielsweise so am Steg anzuordnen, dass er durch eine entsprechende Öffnung im Deckel ragt oder aus der Vorderwand ragt.In addition, it is conceivable to provide the pusher 49 of the clamping bolt device at a different location and, for example, to arrange it on the web that it projects through a corresponding opening in the lid or protrudes from the front wall.
