    摘要: A rope buckle assembly includes a female buckle and a male buckle. The female buckle has an accommodating slot and a plurality of openings being in spatial communication with and respectively arranged at two opposite side of the accommodating slot. The accommodating slot has two guiding surfaces protruding from a slot bottom thereof. The male buckle has two through holes in spatial communication with each other and includes two elastic arms spaced apart from each other. When the male buckle and the female buckle jointly receive an external force to move from an initial position to a through position, the two elastic arms are compressed and deformed by respectively abutting against the two guiding surfaces, so that each of the two through holes becomes smaller, and each of the two through holes corresponds in position to two of the openings for jointly defining a rope channel.

    摘要: A hoisting system for hoisting a load includes: i) a main winch system having a main rope with an end connector mounted to an end of the main rope, ii) an auxiliary winch system having an auxiliary rope having at least one rope connector of which at least one is a splitable rope connector, the auxiliary rope comprising a first section and a second section connected to the first section via the splitable rope connector, wherein the splitable rope connector comprises at least two connector parts that are releasably connected with each other for allowing quick disconnection and reconnection between the second section and the first section, wherein the connector parts (are configured for releasably connecting with the end connector of the main rope, and iii) a hang-off point placed and configured for at least temporarily holding a respective rope connector of the auxiliary rope for transferring the load to the hang-off point. The system may include two auxiliary winch systems.

    摘要: An article of footwear and related method includes a midsole, an upper secured with respect to the midsole, and a lace extending through the upper. A motorized lacing system positioned within the midsole, configured to engage with the lace to increase and decrease tension on the lace. The motorized lacing system includes a motor, including a motor shaft, a spool, coupled to the motor shaft, configured to spool and unspool the lace based on the turning of the motor shaft, a processor circuit, and an optical encoder. The optical encoder comprises a three-dimensional encoder defining a major axis and having a surface having a first plurality of segments positioned between a second plurality of segments, and an optical sensor, positioned within optical range of the cylindrical encoder, configured to output a signal to the processor circuit indicative of a detected one of a first and second plurality of segments.

    摘要: A dual-sided ratchet strap apparatus has a strap cam configured on the ratchet base configured to lock a cam strap against a cam lock interface to secure the cam strap in position. The dual-sided ratchet strap apparatus has the cam strap extension, extending in a first direction from the ratchet buckle and a ratchet strap extension, extending in an opposing direction from the ratchet buckle. The ratchet buckle is actuated by the ratchet handle that can be rotated about the ratchet shaft. The strap cam is self-locking wherein tension from the extended end of the strap cam pulls the cam surface into engagement with the cam lock interface. The cam strap can however be pulled out of the cam interface toward the ratchet buckle to enable quick and easy positioning of the ratchet. The cam handle may be configured to rotate in a ratchet base aperture.
