    摘要: A cycling shoe has a sole and an upper attached to the sole. An adjustable closure panel extends across an opening in the upper. A lever assembly is exposed at an outer, rear surface of the upper, and is movable about a hinge between a first position and a second position. One or more passages extend through the cycling shoe to accommodate one or more cables to connect the lever assembly to the adjustable closure panel. The lever assembly is configured such that moving the lever assembly between the first position and the second position causes the one or more cables, if connected between the lever assembly to the adjustable closure panel, to tighten or loosen the closure panel relative to the upper.

    摘要: Footwear (1) with retention system (2) comprising an upper (4) delimiting an inner space; the retention system (2) is positioned at least partially in the inner space and comprises at least one constraint element (10A, 10B, 10C) designed to be positioned at the top instep area or at the side/heel area of the foot of the user, the at least one constraint element (10A, 10B, 10C) being designed to pass from a loose condition to a tightened condition and vice versa. The retention system (2) further comprises a cord (14) slidably coupled to the at least one constraint element (10A, 10B, 10C), tensioning means (22) connected to a first portion (15) of the cord (14) and designed to be handled by the user for pulling the cord (14) into a tensioned condition to bring the at least one constraint element (10) in the tightened condition and locking means (24) for locking the cord (14) in tensioned condition.

    摘要: The Belt Ratcheting Device with Hidden Blade-IV (HB-IV) facilitates unidirectional belt fastening and fast release. The HB-IV includes a turning gate rotatably installed diagonally in a channel. The turning gate has been installed with a hidden blade which controls the belt's translation by engaging the lower belt surface to avoid visible scratches. The turning gate is connected to a lever. The HB-IV has two states: “active” and “inactive”. In the active state the device works as a belt ratchet by allowing the belt to be pulled forwards while restricting any belt motion backwards. In the inactive state the belt's motion is facilitated in both directions. The HB-IV states are manually controlled by the lever. After fastening, the belt remains fastened until released. The HB-IV can be adapted to any kind of smooth leather, cloth or synthetic belts. The blade's hidden position and smooth channel's surfaces minimize belt's wear and scratches.
