Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lacing for sports shoes, whose upper has an entrance opening for receiving the foot of the user.
  • the entrance opening communicates with at least one slot braced by the lacing.
  • To the edges of the slot spaced tabs are attached, through the openings of which a lace is passed which sequentially straddles the slot. Between the lace and the opening of the tabs a given frictional force is generated. At that part of the slot which is distal from the entrance opening, the lace is held with a force significantly superior to the above-noted frictional force.
  • the invention further relates to a sports shoe having an upper, a sole attached thereto and an entrance opening for receiving the foot of the user.
  • a sports shoe having an upper, a sole attached thereto and an entrance opening for receiving the foot of the user.
  • two slots are provided which extend from the sole to the entrance opening and which may be opened and closed by the lacing forming subject of the invention.
  • connection is effected at the edges forming the two sides of the slot which receives the lacing and which forms part of the upper.
  • the slot has V-shaped narrowing edges in the direction away from the location where tying takes place.
  • the connection between the lace and the edges bordering the slot is established by passing the lace through the pass-through openings provided in the edge material.
  • the lace is passed through tabs projecting into the slot and sewn to the lace portion, rather than passing the lace through pass-through openings.
  • lacing passed through the pass-through openings that the lacing is disposed in two mutually spaced surfaces, one part being above, and the other part being below the material of the upper.
  • the spatial requirement of the lacing in a direction perpendicular to the shoe surface is greater than or equal to twice the lace diameter. It is characteristic of a lacing passed through the thread-through eyelet that the lace, upon pass-through, changes direction, it direcrionally breaks 180°, and increased frictional forces appear between eyelet and lace. The friction and the directional break in the lace can also not be decreased below a certain magnitude by means of metal or plastic ringlets which protect the edges of the pass-through eyelets.
  • a proper tightening may be ensured by pulling the lace in several stages, the last being a pull at the location of tying.
  • Such a lacing procedure is relatively time-consuming, it is uncomfortable and it may easily occur that close to the distal portion, the lace is not sufficiently tight, resulting in a loosening during use.
  • the portions of the lace that are distal from the tying location are tightened with a greater force than necessary to ensure that they will not loosen, then the shoe may become unnecessarily tight, resulting in an uncomfortable wear.
  • the unnecessarily large pulling forces weaken and cause wear of the lace and even of the shoe.
  • the pass-through tab-type lacing method is more frequent.
  • the guiding plane of the facing tabs and of those which are behind one another lie on one surface, that is, a height position of the lace does nor change, which means that it does not alternatively take up a position above and below the lace portion.
  • the height dimension of the lacing is determined by twice the diameter of the lace, because the two branches of the lace cross one another.
  • a further advantage of the lacing provided with pass-through tabs is a lesser friction generated between lace and tab, as a result of which the lace branch pulled in front (that is, at the location of tying) provides for a sufficient force between the two edges of the slot even in the region of the most distal tab. The effect of the pulling force appearing at the distal end is reduced by the friction generated due to the cross-over of the branches. In such a lacing solution too, it is a frequent occurrence that tightening has to be performed in at least two steps.
  • the lace In case of both lacing modes, that is, in both solutions involving pass-though openings and pass-through tabs, the lace consists of a single thread which, during lacing, starting from the tying location, progresses by sequential thread-through, toward the distal end, then changes direction and progresses from the distal end forward and emerges in front of the other lace end, and tying is effected with the aid of the two free lace ends.
  • the lacing consists essentially of two parts, and the parts tie together the proximal and distal ends of the slot. The two parts progressing in opposite directions cross one another (or their planes diverge). During use not only an appropriate pulling causes difficulties, but the loosening of the lacing is also very uncomfortable. In case of the thread portions running in two directions, only one becomes loose, then, because of the fact that the two parts form one and the same thread, the other laced side is loosened too.
  • the ball is directed by any surface of the tip and the upper of the shoe.
  • the lacing occupies a relatively large area of the upper. The shorter the area occupied by the lacing proper, that is, the shorter the extension of the lacing in a direction perpendicular to the foot, the easier the covering and threading of the lacing.
  • United States Patent No. 2,019,587 discloses a single-thread lacing affixed both at the

  • the free end of the lace is placed into a flap in a condition that also cannot be properly tightened.

  • the disadvantages of the traditional lacing solutions may be effectively eliminated only if the solution does not alter the customary tying modes and their customary properties.
  • a lacing is provided in sports shoes whose upper has an entrance opening for receiving the foot of the user.
  • the entrance opening communicates with at least one slot braced by the lacing.
  • To the edges of the slot spaced tabs are attached through the openings of which a lace is passed which sequentially straddles the slot. Between the lace and the opening of the tabs a given frictional force is generated. At that part of the slot which is distal from the entrance opening, the lace is held with a force significantly superior to the above-noted frictional force.
  • the shoe has at least one lace which, following the tab closest to the entrance opening, leaves the upper with a hindrance as it approaches the entrance opening and terminates in the free thread used for tying, where the force of the hindrance is greater than the earlier-noted friction.
  • the lacing is immobilized traditionally by tying the two free threads projecting from the part of the upper proximal to the entrance opening. Further, the total number of the slots and the laces is at least three. The above-noted hindrance is needed for preserving, during tying, the tightening force of the lacing easily braced together by pulling the threads passed through the openings of the tabs, to provide for a briefly acting hindrance which prevents loosening while the loop is being tied.
  • the retaining force may be resolved by immobilizing the lace to the upper or by an interposition of a portion of increased friction.
  • the last-noted tying means that there are present one central slot and two laces or two slots and at least one lace.

  • the total number of the laces and slots, which attains at least three, is reached by using the auxiliary thread as a further lace, and the auxiliary thread makes it possible to immobilize the otherwise asymmetrical lacing with the customary two-thread tying.
  • the sports shoe is provided with two slots which are arranged at the two sides of the entrance opening and which extend from the sole to the edge of the entrance opening. Obliquely opposite tabs are fastened to the edges of the slots. A lace is guided through the tabs of the individual slots, and the free ends of the threads leaving the individual slots are guided to the central part of the sports shoe, and, for the purpose of a traditional tying, they leave the upper at the central portion. It is indifferent from the point of view of the solution whether a single lace or two laces are used, in case the lace is immobilized with the appropriate force at the lower end of the slots.

  • the use is assisted by providing at the lower portion of the two slots water-tight means in the laced condition.

It is an advantage of this solution that two mutually crossing laces 12 and 32 are used, whose pulling generates forces independent from one another. In case one of the threads constituting the laces 12 or 32 loosens, then the loose lacing does not result in the loosening of the other thread.
  • the single thread used in the traditional lacing is twice the length compared to the individual length of the laces 12 and 32 shown in Figure 2 and, as concerns loosening, the elastic expansion of the entire thread length has to be taken into consideration, hi case of identical dimensions and thread diameters, the elastic deformation is one half in the solution according to Figure 2.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un laçage pour des chaussures de sport, dont la tige (57) est dotée d'une ouverture par laquelle l'utilisateur introduit son pied dans la chaussure. Cette ouverture communique avec une ou plusieurs fentes (10, 41, 51) mises en tension par le laçage. Des languettes espacées (5, 6, 7; 26, 27) sont rattachées aux bords (1, 2) de la fente (1, 41, 51) et à travers les ouvertures desdites languettes passe un lacet (12, 32, 46, 56) qui enjambe la fente (10, 41, 51). Une force de frottement est générée entre le lacet (12, 32, 46, 56) et l'ouverture des languettes (5, 6, 7; 26, 27). Dans la partie de la fente (1, 41, 51) qui est distale par rapport à l'ouverture d'entrée, le lacet (12, 32, 46, 56) est maintenu avec une force sensiblement supérieure à la force de frottement susmentionnée. Le laçage comporte un ou plusieurs lacets (12, 32, 46, 56) qui, après la languette la plus proche de l'ouverture d'entrée, sortent de la tige (57) et sont entravés à mesure qu'ils approchent de l'ouverture et se terminent sous forme de fil libre (3 et/ou 4), la force d'entrave étant supérieure à ladite force de frottement. Le laçage est immobilisé par la liaison à l'aide d'un noeud classique des deux fils libres (3, 4) qui sortent de la partie de la tige (57) la plus proche de l'ouverture d'entrée. Le nombre total des fentes (1, 41, 51) et des lacets (12, 32, 46, 56) n'est pas inférieur à trois.
