Abstract: A shoe closure mechanism having a rolling disk which lies on a bottom wall of a housing part, with the rolling disk being a flat, narrow ring whose inner face forms an inner gearing and whose outer face forms a rotatable guide path with the inner wall of a peripheral edge of the housing part. Furthermore, an eccentric driving disk lies on the bottom wall of the housing part within the rolling disk in the same plane with it. A cable pulley lies on the rolling disk and the eccentric driving disk, and it engages with drive pegs in circular openings of the eccentric driving disk and rotates on a section of an axle unit. The driving disk has a central hole which receives an eccentric driving peg that projects axially from the axle unit into a central opening of the driving disk.
