Boot with at least two lacing zones

Abstract

The boot including a lacing device, is noteworthy in that the boot ( 1 ) comprises at least two independent successive zones of lacing (Z 1 -Z 2 ), allowing a differential adjustment and tightening of the lacing chosen and adapted by the user himself, whatever the lacing means may be.

1 . A boot, which comprises at least two different, successive lacing zones allowing differentiated, separate tightening and adjustment of the lacing, chosen and adapted by the user himself, irrespective of the lacing means, wherein, for each lacing zone, an attachment and rapid-tightening means is associated on the lace or end part of the lace, and wherein, between the attachment and rapid-tightening means, the lacing zones are extended to form an intermediate linking and pulling part allowing, by means of a single action of gripping said intermediate parts, differentiated tightening and adjustment of the boot in the lacing zones concerned by the positioning of each attachment means.  
   
   
       2 . The boot, including a lacing device, which comprises at least two differentiated lacing zones (Z 1 -Z 2 ) but only one lace ( 2 ), wherein said lace receives at least two attachment ( 3 ) and rapid-tightening means in a number that corresponds to the number of lacing zones, allowing, by means of a single action of grasping the lace in the zone ( 2   c ) between said attachment means, differentiated tightening and adjustment of the boot in the lacing zones concerned, for positioning each attachment means.  
   
   
       3 . The boot as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the end strands ( 2   a - 2   b ) are adjacent at the exit from the attachment means to the gripping and pulling part ( 2   c ).  
   
   
       4 . The boot as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the free ends ( 2   a - 2   b ) of each lace beyond the attachment and tightening means ( 3 ) are inserted, positioned and held in a long sleeve ( 5 ) forming a gripping means.  
   
   
       5 . The boot as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the sleeve consists of a component that can be rolled up on itself, with linking and closure hook/loop fastening means.  
   
   
       6 . The boot as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the end strands ( 2   a - 2   b ) of the laces are secured together by means of stitching, welding and the like.  
   
   
       7 . The boot as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the end strands ( 2   a - 2   b ) extending beyond the attachment means are secured by welding, stitching and the like to the gripping part ( 2   c ).  
   
   
       8 . The boot as claimed in  claim 1 , which comprises a catching zone ( 4 ) arranged on the side of the boot, close to the tongue ( 1   b ), for receiving the parts of the lace that are left free.  
   
   
       9 . The boot as claimed in  claim 1 , which comprises a pocket arranged on the side of the boot or close to the tongue ( 1   b ) for receiving and storing the parts of the lace that are left free.  
   
   
       10 . The boot as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the means ( 1   c ) for passage of the laces ( 2 ) are formed from a plurality of loops in the form of V-shaped strands, the free ends of which are secured to the sole of the boot and the base of the V serving to change the direction of the lace.
