Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure device particularly for sports shoes.
  • closure devices which comprise levers adapted to allow the fastening of a first flap and a second flap, which constitute the shoe.
  • Levers which comprise a lever arm, which can be gripped by the user and is associated with a first flap to be joined, which is connected, by means of an interconnection element, to a ring or hook which interacts for example with the teeth of a rack or a strap or band with teeth, which can be associated with the second flap to be joined of the shoe.
  • Italian patent No. 0000232825 discloses a buckle for a shoe, particularly for ski boots, which comprises a base designed to be fixed on a boot part, a tensioning lever with two arms, which is articulated on this base by means of the ends of its arms, a first engagement element, which is designed to be fastened to a second engagement element which is fixed to another part of the shoe, and means for joining the first engagement element and the tensioning lever, such buckle being constituted by two telescopic parts.
  • one of the two telescopic parts has adapted holes which provide two distinct mutual arrangement positions.
  • Italian patent No. 1298824 is also known which is constituted by a lever, particularly for sports shoes, which comprises a lever arm which is rotatably associated, at a first end, with a support which is coupled to a flap of the shoe, an auxiliary grip lever for the user being associated or associable with the lever arm and being adapted to increase temporarily the useful length of the lever arm.
  • the auxiliary lever if it is not distinct and therefore not associated with the lever arm, must be stored necessarily by the user, for example in a pocket, during sports practice, with the consequent possibility of losing it; in any case, interconnection with the lever arm is not easy, since sports activity usually occurs while wearing gloves and the seat for insertion in the lever arm is usually filled with snow or ice.
  • auxiliary lever is articulated to one end of the lever arm, a drawback is observed due to the fact that in order to perform closure, the user must lift the auxiliary lever, gripping it in a vise-like manner between the thumb and index finger until he can insert the palm of his hand under the auxiliary lever and then turn it in the closing direction.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited background art, by providing a closure device that allows to achieve both opening and closure of a lever rapidly and easily and with an effort containment that can be applied in both cases.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a closure device for sports shoes that can be activated easily even in the presence of snow on the lever arm.
  • Another object is to obtain a closure device for sports shoes that does not modify the vertical dimensions of the lever arm.
  • Another object is to obtain a closure device for sports shoes in which its activation and deactivation are easy for the user even if he is wearing gloves and even in low-temperature conditions.
  • Another object is to obtain a device which combines the above cited characteristics with those of being structurally simple and of having low production costs.
  • a closure device particularly for sports shoes, which comprises a lever arm, which is coupled to a first flap of said shoe and articulated to an interconnection element for a means for engagement with a second flap of said shoe, characterized in that an extension is slidingly associated with said lever arm, in contrast with elastically compressible means, and interacts selectively, in the fully extracted condition, with a temporary stop means.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates a closure device, particularly for sports shoes, which comprises a lever arm 2, which is associated rotatably, by means of a pair of first pivots 3 and 4, with a pair of first shoulders 5a, 5b, which protrude from a base 6 which is coupled to a first flap 7a of the shoe by means of a first rivet or screw 8.
  • the lever arm 2 is articulated, by means of a second pivot 9, to an end of an interconnection element 10, which at the other end is rotatably associated, for example by means of a pivot 11, with a first end 12 of a hook 13, which interacts selectively with the teeth of a rack 14 which can be associated, by means of a second rivet or screw 15, with a second flap 7b of the shoe.
  • the lever arm 2 has, in a lower region, a first central longitudinal seat 16, which is interposed between a pair of second longitudinal seats 17a, 17b, which accordingly are provided at the sides of the lever arm 2.
  • the arms 18a, 18b of an extension 19 are associated slidingly within the pair of second longitudinal seats 17a, 17b, and the extension 19 is U-shaped so as to form a first base 20, which is slightly inclined away from the first flap 7a and protrudes beyond the front perimetric edge 21 of the lever arm 2.
  • the extension 19 is preferably made of steel wire and interacts with elastically compressible means constituted by a pair of first springs 22a, 22b which are arranged coaxially to the arms 18a, 18b.
  • the pair of first springs 22a, 22b abuts at it ends at adapted protrusions 23a, 23b, which protrude proximate to one end of the pair of arms 18a, 18b and a wall 24 of a pair of tabs 25a, 25b which protrude downward along the sides of the lever arm 2 proximate to the front perimetric edge 21.
  • the protrusions 23a, 23b are also designed to trap the extension 19 with respect to the lever arm 2 and at the same time leave the extension 19 free to move in the two directions which are longitudinal with respect to the lever arm 2.
  • Each one of the pair of tabs 25a, 25b is provided with holes to allow the arrangement of a third pivot 26, which is arranged transversely to the lever arm 2 in a region that lies below the pair of arms 18a, 18b.
  • a second substantially V-shaped spring 27 is arranged coaxially to the third pivot 26 and has an end which interacts with the lower surface of the lever arm 2 in the region of the first longitudinal seat 16 and the other end which interacts with a temporary stop means for the extension 19.
  • Such means is constituted by a pawl 28, which is U-shaped in plan view so as to form a second base 29, which is flat and tapers slightly at the tip in the direction of the base 6, and from which two wings 30a, 30b protrude which have a tip 31a, 31b shaped like a slider, which is slightly arc-like with the concavity directed toward the base 6.
  • Two second shoulders 32a, 32b protrude at right angles laterally and externally to the pair of wings 30a, 30b and are conveniently provided with holes for rotary interconnection with the second pivot 9.
  • the slider-shaped tips 31a, 31b lie in a region located above adapted openings 33a, 33b formed on the underlying base 6.
  • the operation of the closure device of the invention therefore entails that the user extracts the extension 19 by simply placing a finger at the first base 20, which is slightly inclined away from the first flap 7a; once the extension 19 has been extracted, even if it is drawn back continuously by the compression of the pair of first springs 22a, 22b, it remains firmly extended, since its retraction is contrasted by the pawl 28, the second base 29 of which is drawn counterclockwise by the second spring 27 toward the inside of the lever arm 2, arranging itself against the end of the arms 18a, 18b.
  • the extension 19 can be retracted manually by compressing the tips 31a, 31b of the pawl 28 on the opposite side with respect to the base 6.
  • the extension 19 is retracted automatically whenever the lever is closed, in view of the interaction of the tips 31a, 31b with the base 6.
  • the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, a device having been devised which allows to obtain both the opening and the closure of a lever rapidly and easily and with a containment of the effort that can be applied in both cases, the device being activatable even in the presence of snow on the lever arm.
  • the lever arm can thus be extended functionally by extraction of the extension at will on the part of the user both during closure and during the opening of the lever, reducing the effort both during opening and during closure.
  • extension Once the extension has been extracted, it is retained firmly externally with respect to the lever arm by the pawl, which hinders its retraction, while once it is extracted the extension requires no further maneuvers and is therefore immediately ready to be gripped with the palm of the hand in order to facilitate closure of the lever or to be gripped with the index finger in order to facilitate the opening of the lever.
  • the overall thickness of the lever is low, because the extension is arranged in a central space of the lever arm that is normally unused.
  • the extension can be made for example of steel wire, it is possible to achieve a scarcely visible aesthetic impact.
