Definitions

  • the invention relates to a twist lock for a sports shoe, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a twist lock of the required type is known from EP-A-255 869.
  • the closing flaps of the shoe can be contracted or released by changing the effective length of two tension cable tensioning elements by rotating the actuating device in one direction or the other.
  • a precise adjustment of the twist lock is provided in that a pawl device is arranged in the area between the twist grip and a pulley for the two tension cable tensioning elements, which means a with the twist grip in compliance contains an idle rotatable intermediate element, a pawl carried by this intermediate element and a toothed ring incorporated in a housing cover, the pulley being able to be rotated by the rotary handle with the interposition of a Maltese cross gear, a gear drive or a planetary gear.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a twist lock of the type required in the preamble of claim 1 so that the space requirement and the manufacturing costs can be reduced even further.
  • the locking tabs can be pulled together sufficiently far by the single pulling rope to ensure that the shoe can always be reliably adapted to the user's foot, a sufficiently long cable path is (in comparison to the known embodiment described above, a corresponding one Extension, possibly approximate doubling, of the cable route) is advantageous.
  • This can be achieved in the twist lock according to the invention, for example, by approximately two revolutions of the sheave, the stop being effective by the stop element after the second rotation (the basic use of a stop is - as in the known embodiment mentioned - necessary to damage the pull rope by to avoid over-tightening).
  • Twist lock 2 can be attached to a sports shoe.
  • this twist lock 2 with its housing, which cannot be seen in more detail in FIG. 1, on the outer shell, specifically there in the instep area, of the ski boot 1 with the aid of known per se and therefore not illustrated in more detail in FIG Means can be arranged.
  • This twist lock 2 contains as a traction cable arrangement a single traction cable 3, one end of which, in the present case 3a, is fastened on one side of the shoe upper 4, in its lower heel region 4a, while the other end of the traction cable 3b is fixed to a pulley 5 is, which is rotatably mounted in the housing of the twist lock 2 in a manner yet to be explained, in order to wind and unwind the pull cable 3.
  • the section 3c lying between the two cable ends 3a and 3b is suitably led over the two closing flaps (one is indicated at 1a) of the ski boot 1 (i.e.
  • the rotary lock 2 has an actuating device for rotating the rope sheave 5 in one direction or the other (cf. double arrow 7), this rotary actuating device in the present case by means of one to be explained later cap-shaped rotary handle 8 is formed.
  • twist lock 2 contains a relatively flat, approximately cylindrical housing 9, which has a central recess 10, in which the sheave 5 - in relation to its circumferential dimensions - is accommodated in a suitable and freely rotatable manner.
  • the rope pulley 5 has a circumferential rope groove 11 in its circumference, in which the associated end 3b of the pull rope 3 is fixed and which is sufficiently deep to be able to accommodate about two turns of the rope therein.
  • the housing 9 is largely covered at the top and practically completely covered by a cover 12, whereby the housing 9 and cover 12 can thereby be firmly, optionally also releasably connected to one another, that axially extending screws (not shown) are provided here or - as indicated - lower ones Circumferential lugs 12a are bent inwards under the lower peripheral edge of the housing 9.
  • the pull rope end 3b connected to the rope sheave 5 is fed approximately tangentially to the rope sheave 5 or to its rope groove 11 through a guide channel 13 which corresponds to the peripheral wall 12b of the cover 12 and the housing 9 enforced.
  • FIG. 2 there is a space in the area between the housing 9, the cover 12 and the upper side of the sheave 5 in which a planetary gear is provided for driving the sheave 5.
  • a coaxial belongs to this planetary gear (cf. Twist-lock axis 2a) sun gear 14 arranged directly above the sheave 5, which serves as a drive gear and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the cap-shaped twist grip 8 by a countersunk screw 15.
  • This sun gear 14 has a downwardly extending pivot-like axial extension 14a, which forms a central bearing pin for the sheave 5.
  • this sun gear has an extension extending axially upward through a bearing bore 16 of the housing cover 12 in the form of a bearing journal end 14b, by means of which the sun gear 14 is mounted in the bearing bore 16 of the cover 12 in a freely rotatable manner.
  • the planetary gear includes an internally toothed ring gear 17, which is attached to the inner circumference of the housing 9 in the area above the rope sheave 5 in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • planet gears 18 are provided, which preferably project upwards from the top of the rope sheave 5 Bearing journals 19 are freely rotatable and mesh with both the sun gear 14 and the fixed ring gear 17.
  • an intermediate disc 20 is also arranged in the area between the housing cover 12 and the rotary handle 8, in which a pawl 21 is pivotably mounted about a pivot pin 22 in the manner of a two-armed lever .
  • This pawl 21 belongs to a pawl device, which also includes a toothed ring 23 incorporated in the outer peripheral region on the upper side of the housing cover 12.
  • the resiliently biased pawl 21 and the toothed ring 23 can in cooperate in such a way that with a rotational movement in the sense of winding the pull rope 3, a sensitive adjustment and locking of the rope sheave 5 and thus the pull rope 3 can be achieved, while in the other direction of rotation the meshing engagement between pawl 21 and toothed ring 23 is canceled and thereby the pull rope can be handled by the pulley 5.
  • the actuating device for rotating the rope sheave 5 is designed as a cap-shaped rotary handle 8 and is screwed to the bearing end 14b of the sun gear 14 which extends axially upwards by a countersunk screw 15.
  • the intermediate disk 20 is still arranged, ie the countersunk screw 15 also passes through a central bore 20a provided in this intermediate disk 20, into which a type of spacer plain bearing ring 26 can preferably be inserted.
  • a collar 27 inserted and supported, in which the head 15a of the countersunk screw 15 is received.
  • a suitable cover plate (not shown here in more detail) can also be fitted flush and easily detachable over this collar disk 27 in order to create a kind of protective cover.
  • This cap-shaped rotary handle 8 also covers the area of the intermediate disk 20 with a lateral peripheral wall 8b and at least partially also the housing 9 and its cover 12, in that this peripheral wall 8b projects correspondingly downwards, as can be seen in FIG. At least in the area of this peripheral wall 8b, the rotary handle 8 can also be provided with knurls or other useful handle elements, so that it can be easily operated (turned).
  • This type of twist grip 8 also contributes to a particularly flat, space-saving design of the entire twist lock 2.
  • a stop element 28 is rotatably mounted coaxially to the sheave 5 in or on the housing 9.
  • the downwardly extending, pivot-like axial extension 14a of the sun gear 14 forms a central bearing pin for the sheave 5.
  • This central bearing pin 14a is downward through a reduced in diameter, from the sheave 5 protruding end 14a ' additionally extended so far that at the same time the middle (inner) section 28a of the stop element 28 is freely rotatably mounted on this lower pin end.
  • a corresponding securing element for example a snap ring 29, can be attached to the outermost pin end.
  • the stop element 28 is in the form of a stop arm 28 extending essentially radially or in the manner of a spoke from the central bearing pin 14a or its lower pin end 14a ', as can be seen in FIG. At its radially outer end, this stop arm 28 has an axially upwardly directed stop projection 28b, which can be fastened separately on this radially outer end, but is preferably, as illustrated in the example in FIG. 2, designed as an integrally bent arm end.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 also show that in the underside of the housing 9 receiving the sheave 5, ie in the outer peripheral region (outside the sheave 5), an outer, annular groove 30 is incorporated, which extends approximately over the entire circumference of the housing 9 extends, with the exception of only the peripheral section in which the guide channel 13 for the insertion of the pull rope end 3b is located.
  • the axially upward-facing stop projection 28b of the stop arm 28 engages in this groove 30.
  • the stop arm 28 is designed and arranged so that its stop projection 28b can slide in the groove 30 with a corresponding rotational movement of the stop arm 28 around the central bearing pin 14a / 14a '.
  • the two circumferential ends 30a and 30b of this groove 30 form counter-stops for the stop projection 28b, ie the stop projection 28b comes into contact with these counter-stops 30a, 30b during a rotational movement in one or the other direction of rotation of the stop element 28.
  • a driving stop 31 which is designed as an approximately block-shaped attachment and is fixedly connected to this sheave 5 and which, depending on the rotational position and direction of rotation of the sheave 5 - with respect to the circumferential direction - on one side or the other 28c or 28d of the stop arm 28 comes to rest and takes this stop arm with it when the pulley 5 rotates further.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7. It is first made to FIGS. 6 and 7. It is assumed that the pull rope end 3b '- as known per se - is fixed by means of an approximately pin-like nipple 32 on the sheave 5' or in its groove 11 ', i.e. this nipple 32 runs approximately parallel to the downwardly extending central journal 14'a of the sun gear 14 '.
  • the traction cable nipple 32 has a projection 32a projecting downwards from the underside of the cable pulley 5, which is sufficiently long so that in this exemplary embodiment it is also firmly attached to it the rope pulley 5 'connected driving stop for the substantially radially outwardly extending stop arm 28' forms.
  • a separate driving stop such as the block-shaped extension 31 of the first example, is therefore not necessary here.
  • the nipple projection 32a - as illustrated in particular in FIG. 8 - has a cap formation or an attached cap 33 in the illustrated form on its outer free end, ie this nipple 32 thus has an approximately mushroom shape .
  • the stop arm 28 ' is then expediently not designed to be completely straight and radially running, but it has on its two sides 28'c and 28'd, viewed in the circumferential direction, each having a bulge 34 or 35 which is adapted to the outer diameter of the nipple 32 for the appropriate engagement of the nipple projection 32a.
  • the material thickness of the stop arm 28 '- as can be seen in FIGS. 7 and 8 - is somewhat recessed, so that there the cap 33 of the nipple projection 32a when interacting with the stop arm 28' from below partially engages. In this way, a possible axial deflection of the stop arm 28 'is reliably prevented by the engagement of the cap 33 during the engagement between the nipple projection 32a and the respective bulge 34 or 35.
  • stop arm 28 ' has at its radially outer end an axially upwardly projecting stop projection 28'b which extends into the outer, circular groove 30 'slidably engages, which is incorporated into the underside of the pulley 5' receiving housing 9 '.
  • At least two are distributed over the circumference at the lower outer peripheral edge of the housing 9 ', i.e. 7 diametrically opposed snap hooks 37 are integrally formed, which are intended for fastening the entire twist lock 2 'to a sports shoe.
  • diametrically opposed snap hooks 37 are integrally formed, which are intended for fastening the entire twist lock 2 'to a sports shoe.
  • suitable recesses need to be incorporated into the upper material, for example in the shoe shell of a ski boot or in the upper leather of another sports shoe, into which the snap hooks 37 can be inserted appropriately, so that there is a reliably firm and permanent snap connection between the twist lock 2 ' and associated sports shoe results in an extremely simple and quick assembly.
  • the twist lock according to the invention can be produced from any suitable material.
  • at least its essential closure parts can be made at least partially of metal, in particular light metal, or of a suitable castable and machinable, in particular thermoplastic; it may also be expedient if necessary to manufacture some of the essential closure parts from metal and some from plastic, so that the individual closure parts of a twist lock can be made from the materials which appear to be the most expedient in each case.
  • the housing cover 12 ' can be made largely in the same shape and design, as described in detail with reference to Figures 2 and 3 of the first embodiment.
  • the housing cover 12 ' has on its underside and in the region of its outer peripheral edge at least two rivet structures 38 projecting against the underlying housing 9', which are evenly distributed over the circumference, i.e. in the case of two such rivet designs 38, these are diametrically opposed.
  • housing 9 'two rivet receiving holes 39 are incorporated correspondingly opposite the two rivet formations 38.
  • the sizes of these rivet designs 38 and rivet receiving holes 39 in the housing cover 12 'and housing 9' are coordinated so that this housing 9 'and the housing cover 12' can be quickly and reliably connected to one another by ultrasonic riveting when assembling the entire twist lock 2 '.
  • this cap-shaped rotary handle 8 ' is made entirely of a suitable plastic material.
  • This snap connection element 41 (or each individual snap connection element) has at its lower end (lower edge) a radially inwardly pointing hook formation 41a.
  • the snap connection engagement between the hook formation 41a of the snap connection element or the snap connection elements 41 and the outer circumferential groove 42 of the housing cover 12 ' is designed so that this outer circumferential groove 42 is simultaneously a rotary guide groove for the snapped hook formation 41a and thus for the entire associated twist grip 8 'forms, that is, this results on the one hand a rotary guide and on the other hand an axial fixing of the twist grip 8' with respect to the entire twist lock 2 '.
  • the central sun gear 14 ' forms the drive gear for the planetary gear arranged between the housing 9', pulley 5 'and the housing cover 12', to which - in the same way as in the first example - a stationary internal ring gear 17 'and several planet gears 18 ' belong.
  • the sun gear 14 ' in turn has an axially upwardly extending, substantially cylindrical bearing end 14'b, which extends through a suitable central bearing bore 16' of the housing cover 12 'and a suitable central bore 20'a in the above the housing cover 12' lying washer 20 'extends upwards.
  • the journal end 14'b has a circumferential flattening 43 on its end section which axially penetrates the intermediate disk 20 ', and the central bore 20'a in the intermediate disk 20' is corresponding to that with the Circumferential flattening 43 provided end portion of the bearing end 14'b also formed with a flattening, so that by the engagement of the bearing end 14'b in the central bore 20'a of the washer 20 'a rotationally fixed connection between the bearing end 14'b with the associated sun gear 14th 'And the washer 20' results.
  • twist lock according to the invention can also be used extremely effectively and practically for other sports shoes, for example for marathon and other running shoes (e.g. also so-called jogging shoes), tennis shoes as well as a large variety of sporty casual shoes.
