Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for closing a boot, in particular a ski boot.
  • a device for closing a boot in particular a ski boot.
  • such devices are used to tighten two sides or two flaps of a shell around a slipper in which the skier's foot is located.
  • the invention relates to closing devices which use an operating lever toggle on the one hand, and a rack on the other hand, which allows at least coarse adjustment of the length of the device (EP-A-0 140 874).
  • Italian Patent No. 61,930 B88 describes a device of the aforementioned type in which the rack includes a number of teeth with at least one of which cooperates a hooking member in connection with the maneuvering lever by means of an inextensible tie rod.
  • the fastening member is constituted by a part whose ends are folded relative to a flat reference surface to form a U, its ends forming notches able to cooperate either individually with one of the teeth of the rack, or simultaneously with two end teeth of a group of teeth of said rack.
  • the spacing of the notches of the U-shaped fastening member will have a step equal to the number of teeth of the rack that it covers.
  • Such an arrangement is intended to provide an adjustment which can be carried out at a value equal to the stroke corresponding to the number of teeth of the rack to which the value is added that of the pitch of the fastening member, both when it is in a position of maximum loosening by one of the end notches, on a first tooth of the rack, only when it is in a position of maximum tightening by the other end notch of said locking member on a last tooth of the rack.
  • the attachment member is constituted by a reversible element by rotation about an axis transverse parallel to the plane of the length of the shoe, said element being asymmetrical by report to said axis, and coming to bear by one or other of its ends on a fixed part of a shoe flaps.
  • the rack carried by the other flap allows a range of adjustment equal to the number of its teeth, increased by the value of the asymmetry of the reversible element.
  • this device goes against a technological trend seeking integration maximum of the control means with respect to the surface of wrapping of the shoe.
  • the present invention therefore aims to provide a device for obtaining a increase or decrease in the adjustment stroke adding or subtracting from the adjustment nominal to provide a wider total range, both during tightening and loosening of the shoe and this while remaining as close as possible to the wrapping surface of the shoe so as not to increase the risk of deterioration due to its raised position.
  • the invention relates to a device for closing a shoe, in particular a ski boot, intended to keep two sections of the boot close together and comprising on the one hand an operating lever carried by a plate connected integrally to one of the sides to be brought together, and on the other hand, on the other side a rack in one of the teeth of which is intended to engage a hooking member, which member is connected to the operating lever by an inextensible tie rod, characterized in that the attachment member is connected to the tie rod by means of a connection stud on an axis of which it is rotated asymmetrically, in a plane substantially parallel to that of the surface of the shoe.
  • the present invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge during the description which will follow, and which should be considered in isolation or in all their combinations possible techniques.
  • closure device 1 is intended to ensure the approximation of two sections of shoe 5, 2 and 3.
  • the device 1 comprises a knee lever operating lever 4.
  • a lever 4 is known and includes an arm 5 connected to the pan 3 of the shoe via a plate 6.
  • a tie rod inextensible 7 is hingedly attached to the arm 5 of the lever 4 and is intended to be connected to a rack 8 via a hooking member 9 able to cooperate with at least one of the teeth 8a, 8b, 8c, ..., thereof.
  • Said rack 8 is fixed on the other side 2 of the shoe thanks to rivets 10, in a manner known per se.
  • the device for closing a boot is intended to keep close two sections 2,3 of the shoe and comprises on the one hand, a lever maneuver 4 carried by a plate 6 connected integrally to one of the sides 3 to be brought together, and other share, on the other pan 2 a rack 8, 8A, in one of the teeth 8a, 8b, 8c, ...., of which is intended to engage a hooking member 9, which member is connected to the operating lever 4 by a inextensible tie 7.
  • the attachment member 9 is connected to the tie 7 by means of a connection pad 11 on an axis 12 of which it is rotated asymmetrically, in a plane substantially parallel to that of the surface of the shoe.
  • the axis of rotation 12 of the fastening member 9 on the stud 11 is interposed between them perpendicular to their plane and ensures their articulated connection.
  • the axis of rotation 12 of the attachment member 9 is fixedly mounted on the stud 11, but of course, conversely, it could be fixed on the hooking member 9 and free in rotation in the stud 11.
  • the pot 11 is a relatively flat element extending parallel to the member attachment 9, one of its ends carrying the axis of rotation 12 of the latter, while the other end of said stud 11 is crossed in a direction also parallel to the plane of the surface of the shoe by a transverse rod 7a for hooking the tie rod 7.
  • the attachment member 9 comprises at its ends, located in the axis of traction of the tie rod 7, two notches 9a, 9b, curved and directed towards the rack 8, 8A, with which they are intended to cooperate and produced asymmetrically with respect to the axis of rotation 12 of said fastening member 9.
  • the notch 9a is distant from the axis 12 by a value X greater than that Y of the notch 9b.
  • the cooperation of one or other of the notches 9a, 9b, after reversing said member by 180 ° around the axis 12, with a given tooth 8a, 8b, 8c, ...., of the rack 8, 8A provides respectively two clamping settings, the difference of which is equal to that of the X-Y offset of said notches 9a, 9b, relative to the axis 12, the overall adjustment range between a maximum and a minimum being equal to that provided by action on the operating lever 4 to which is added the X-Y offset difference.
  • the attachment member 9 is constituted by a sheet metal part. relatively flat whose notches 9a, 9b, are constituted by two transverse end flaps able to cooperate with teeth 8a, 8b, 8c, ...., of the rack 8.
  • the attachment member 9 is constituted by a relatively flat sheet metal part, the notches 9a, 9b of which are capable of cooperating with holes 13 made in a flat element 8A forming a rack, the holes 13 constituting the equivalent of the notches 8a, 8b, 8c, ....
  • the fastening member 9 could have the shape of a loop or a sheet metal plate provided with two transverse lights to cooperate with rack 8.
