Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a choke-band for straps, particularly for straps of footwear, typically sports footwear, such as ski boots, hiking boots, etc.
  • sports footwear is fitted with one or more bands or straps that may be adjusted in length to change the relative fit, adapting it to the needs and requirements of users.
  • Said straps may be applied to the upper, in the case of sports and non-sports footwear, or to the cuff and/or shell, in the case of ski boots.
  • the strap adjustment mechanism must be convenient and easy to operate, even when the user is wearing a glove (a condition typical of ski boots); second, the mechanism must allow for the adjustment of strap length and pull without exerting excessive friction against the strap, which would otherwise wear out prematurely; third, the mechanism must be reliable and prevent the strap from loosening excessively or opening in strap-loosening operations.
  • a choke-band is denoted globally with 4.
  • the choke-band 4 comprises a central body 8 to which a strap 12 is attached that extends from a first end 16 to a second end 20.
  • the strap 12 may be made of any material; preferably it is made of a flexible material.
  • the strap 12, together with the choke-band 4 is attached to footwear, according to the present invention.
  • the footwear (not shown) may be of any type, and preferably, but not necessarily, it is sports footwear in which the choke-band 4 serves to tighten or widen a portion of the upper.
  • footwear should be considered in a broad sense, so that it also includes a sports boot, such as a ski boot (of any type) in which the strap may be attached to portions of the shell and/or cuff.
  • the same footwear may comprise a plurality of straps 12 provided with said choke-bands 4.
  • the central body 8 is provided with a presser element 24 rotatable from an unlocked position, in which a gap with the central body 8 is defined suitable to allow the translation or sliding of the first end 16 of the strap 12, to a locked position, in which it exerts a pushing action of the first end 16 of the strap 12 against a stop 28 of the central body 8 so as to lock it in position.
  • the pressing element 24 is rotatable about a transverse pin 32, directed along a transverse direction Y-Y perpendicular to said first end 16 of the strap 12.
  • the pressing element 24 is equipped with elastic means 36 that elastically bias it toward said locked position, that is, elastically bias it on approach against the stop 28 of the central body 8.
  • the elastic means may be of any type and comprise, for example, leaf springs, torsion springs and the like.
  • the pressing element 24 it is also possible to provide for the pressing element 24 to be equipped with a toothing that automatically generates the grip necessary for closing the band.
  • the toothing of the pressing element 24 may be used alternatively or concurrently with said elastic means 36.
  • a fastening appendage 40 parallel to said transverse direction Y-Y, is attached to the central body 8, said appendage defining with the central body 8 a transverse groove 44 having an open end 48 on the side of an open lateral edge 52 of the central body 8 and configured to accommodate the second end 20 of the strap 12.
  • An actuating and retaining element 56 operatively connected to the pressing element 24, is arranged on the side of said open lateral edge 52 and rotatable together with the pressing element 24.
  • the actuating and retaining element 56 is shaped so as to occlude said open end 48 when the pressing element 24 is in the locked position.
  • the actuating and retaining element 56 is shaped so as to partially occlude said open end 48 when the pressing element 24 is in the unlocked position, so as to allow the possible release of the second end 20 of the strap 12.
  • the actuating and retaining element 56 is shaped so as to provide complete access to said open end 48 when the pressing element 24 is in the unlocked position so as to allow the release of the second end 20 of the strap 12.
  • the actuating and retaining element 56 is pivotal around an axis parallel to said transverse direction Y-Y.
  • the actuating and retaining element 56 may also pivot around the same transverse pin 32, around which the pressing element 24 pivots.
  • the actuating and retaining element 56 is provided with a catch 60, which fits at least partially into said open end 48.
  • Said catch 60 helps to prevent the second end 20 of the strap 12 from accidentally falling out of the transverse groove, through the open end 48.
  • Said catch 60 is configured so as not to interfere with the central body 8 and/or the fastening appendage 40 during rotation of the actuating and retaining element 56.
  • the actuating and retaining element 56 is preferably provided with a gripping appendage 64 suitable for grasping by a user to rotate the actuating and retaining element 56 and the pressing element 24 operatively connected thereto.
  • the pressing element 24 may have various configurations.
  • the pressing element 24 comprises a portion with a cam profile 68 that interfaces with said stop 28 of the central body 8.
  • the portion with a cam profile 68 is fitted with clasping means 72 for the strap 12, such as a knurling.
  • the pressing element 24 is provided with an actuating portion 76 suitable to be pushed or pulled by a user to rotate it from the locked position to the unlocked position.
  • the reverse movement from the unlocked position to the locked position is normally accomplished by the elastic retraction action of the elastic means 36, which, as specified, are optional.
  • said actuating portion 76 has a wedge-shaped configuration and is arranged on the side opposite the cam profile portion 68 with respect to the transverse pin 32.
  • the actuating portion 76 has a lever configuration and is arranged on the same side as the cam profile portion 68, relative to the transverse pin 32.
  • the pressing element 24 is operatively connected to an additional actuating lever 80 arranged on a closed lateral edge 84 of the central body 8, opposite the open lateral edge 52 with respect to the transverse direction Y-Y.
  • the choke-band 4 may be made of metal or plastics materials, and/or composite fibers.
  • the choke-band 4 may be made by molding or even by chip removal machining.
  • the first end 16 of the strap 12 is normally attached to the pressing element 24, which presses it against the central body 8 due to the elastic means 36, while the second end 20 of the strap 12 is attached to the fastening appendage 40.
  • the second end 20 is closed in a loop about the fastening appendage 40, while the first end 16 is open and passes around the pressing element 24.
  • said pressing element is in the locked position in which, due to the action of the elastic means 36, the first end 16 is locked in place against the stop 28, and the strap 12 is prevented from tightening or loosening.
  • the user intends to change the length and thus the traction exerted by the strap 12, it is sufficient to grasp and move the pressing element 24 with one hand from the locked position to the unlocked position, where the first end 16 is free to slide relative to the stop.
  • the user may act directly either on the actuating and retaining element 56 (with related gripping appendage 64), which is operatively connected to the pressing element 24, on the actuating portion 76 of said pressing element 24 (if provided), or on the additional actuating lever 80, which is connected to the pressing element 24 (if provided).
  • the first end 16 of the strap 12 may be easily slid, adjusting its length and thus the pull as best desired.
  • the choke-band according to the present invention first of all allows the traction of the strap to be adjusted conveniently and easily using one hand, even while wearing a glove. Therefore, the invention is particularly advantageous in use on ski boots.
  • the choke-band does not subject the strap to premature wear and tear during all stages of adjustment.
  • the mechanism is particularly secure since, even during the loosening stages of the strap, said strap may not slip out of the choke-band fastening appendage.
