Definitions

  • This invention relates to a buckle for ski shoes of the kind comprising a suspension loop which can be secured to one closure flap of the shoe, a bracket for attachment to the other closure flap of the shoe, and a fastening lever pivotally mounted on said bracket and having a plurality of detent projections for the adjustable retention of the loop.
  • the loop can be latched over one or other of the detent projections, according to the size of shoe opening required, and the lever, which is of the over-deadcentre type, swung down to fasten the closure.
  • a disadvantage of such buckles is that the shoe closure can only be adjusted in increments of appreciable size, that is to say in accordance with the intervals between the said projections.
  • a buckle of this character is additionally provided with a clamping member which is pivotally carried by the mounting bracket and is turnable thereon about the pivotal axis of said fastening lever, whereby this member can be swung down over the fastening lever to releasably engage the same with a clamping action.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of this buckle
  • FIG. 2 is a side view corresponding to FIG. 1, and
  • FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section on the line III-III of FIG. 1.
  • the buckle illustrated has a bracket 2 which is adapted to be secured to one closure flap of the shoe by means of a plate 1 and serves to pivotally mount a fastening lever 3 which is flattened at the sides.
  • This lever is provided with three detent projections 4 over which a wire loop 5, which is pivotally connected to the other closure flap of the shoe, can be selectively engaged. It will be appreciated that more than three such detent projections could be used.
  • This sleeve 6 could, if required, be dispensed with and the internal thread drilled directly into the lever.
  • a pin 8 mounted in the bracket 2 is a pin 8 on which a cylindrical part 10 is mounted for eccentric pivoting movement.
  • a threaded rod 9 is secured in part 10, whilst the free, threaded section of this rod is adjustably screwed into the threaded bore 7.
  • This screw threaded connection caters for adjustment of the distance of the fastening lever 3 from the part 10 and from the pin 8, and thus provides for a fine adjustment of the buckle which permits of accurate fitting of the shoe to the foot of the wearer.
  • a spring steel arm 11 of U-cross section Pivotally mounted on the pin 8 is a spring steel arm 11 of U-cross section.
  • the side walls of this arm 11 embrace the sides of the lever. This holds the lever 3 against unintentional rotation on its threaded support 9.
  • the spacing of the side walls of the arm 11, which is preferably of sheet steel, is such that they will resiliently clamp against the lever 3.
  • the rear end of the top wall of arm 11 has two slits 12 defining a resilent tongue 13.
  • the free end edge 14 of this tongue is located in front of pin 81 and somewhat lower than the upper side of the part 10 when the arm 11 is in the turned down position, which provides a dead centre position for the turned down arm.
  • a buckle for ski shoes which comprises a suspension loop adapted to be secured to one closure flap of the shoe, a bracket for attachment to the other closure flap of the shoe, a fastening lever pivotally mounted on said bracket and having a plurality of detent projections for the adjustable retention of the aforesaid loop, and a screw threaded rod adjustably coupled between said fastening lever and said mounting bracket to vary the position of the lever relatively to its pivotal axis at said mounting bracket, the improvement which consists of a clamping member which is pivotally carried by the mounting bracket and is turnable theron about the pivotal axis of said fastening lever, whereby said clamping member can be swung down over the fastening lever to releasably engage the same with a clamping action.
  • a buckle according to claim 1 in which the clamping member compirses an arm of U-cross section, and the fastening lever has fiat side parts over which the side walls of said arm will be clampingly engaged.
  • a buckle according to claim 1 in which the mounting bracket includes a cylindrical bearing part pivotable relatively to the remainder of the bracket and has the said screw-threaded coupling rod connected thereto, and in which said clamping member is formed with a resilient tongue which bears against the periphery of said cylindrical bearing part, the free end of this tongue being disposed in front of the vertical plane through the pivotal axis of said fastening lever at the mounting bracket, and at the lever side of said axis, when the clamping member is depressed to engage the fastening lever.
