Device to close footwear and clamp footwear to sports equipment

Abstract

Device to close footwear and to clamp said footwear to sports equipment such as snowboards, skates or similar, comprising at least a first strip element provided with attachment means able to cooperate selectively with a plurality of mating constraining seatings made on a second strip element to achieve a desired degree of closure for said footwear or clamping thereof onto said equipment, said constraining seatings being associated with respective identification elements to identify the different degree of closure/clamping which said constraining seatings are able to achieve.

1 . Device to close footwear or to clamp said footwear to any sport equipment such as snowboards, skates or the like, comprising at least a first strip element provided with attachment means able to selectively cooperate with a second strip element having a plurality of mating constraining seatings to achieve a desired degree of closure of said footwear or clamping thereof onto said sport equipment, wherein said seatings are arranged aligned with each other and close together, and wherein identification elements are associated to said constraining seatings to identify the different degree of closure or clamping which said constraining seatings are achieved, said identification elements defining a graduated scale increasing from one end to the other of said second strip element.  
     
     
         2 . Device as in    claim 1   , wherein said identification elements comprise alphanumeric characters.  
     
     
         3 . Device as in    claim 1   , wherein said identification elements comprise colors.  
     
     
         4 . Device as in    claim 1   , wherein said identification elements comprise images, symbols or graphic motifs which are easy to memorize and recognise.  
     
     
         5 . Device as in    claim 1   , wherein said constraining seatings consist of teeth on which lever-type attachment means, associated with said first strip element, are able to engage.  
     
     
         6 . Device as in    claim 5   , wherein said lever-type attachment means are associated with elastic means able to keep them constrained on said teeth.  
     
     
         7 . Device as in    claim 5   , wherein said lever-type attachment means are associated with drawing means able to permit the selective displacement thereof on said teeth.  
     
     
         8 . Device as in    claim 1   , wherein said constraining seatings consist of holes into which pin-type attachment means, associated with said first strip element, are able to be inserted.  
     
     
         9 . Device as in    claim 1   , wherein said identification elements are reproduced integrally on the relative constraining seatings.  
     
     
         10 . Device as in    claim 1   , wherein said identification elements are arranged laterally on the relative constraining seatings.
