  • Publication number: 20240032654
    Abstract: A fastening device includes a case including a plurality of engaging teeth, a spool disposed at the case and configured for a lace to be wound therearound, a knob covering the case, and an engaging unit disposed at the case and coupled to the spool. The engaging unit includes at least one pawl arm selectively coupled to at least one of the engaging teeth, and at least one abutting member. As the knob is rotated in a tensioning direction, the engaging unit is rotated and the pawl arm is disengaged from the engaging teeth to allow the spool to tension the lace. As the knob is rotated in a releasing direction to allow the pawl arm to disengage from the engaging teeth, the abutting member is deflected by a tension of the lace to offset a friction temporarily, thereby allowing the lace to be incrementally released.

  • Patent number: 11825911
    Abstract: A fastening device includes a case unit, a knob, an engaging unit and a spool. The case unit has an axial direction and includes a plurality of mounting teeth. The knob covers on the case unit along the axial direction. The engaging unit is coupled to the knob and includes an engaging portion. The spool is configured for a lace to wind therearound. The engaging unit is driven by the knob to switch between a first position and a second position along the axial direction. When the engaging unit is in the first position, the engaging unit prohibits the spool from releasing the lace. When the engaging unit is in the second position, the engaging portion is engaged with at least one of the mounting teeth, and the engaging unit does not prohibit the spool from releasing the lace. Therefore, the reliability can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20230371655
    Abstract: A fastening device is provided. The fastening device includes a case, a spool, a knob and a locking unit. When the knob is rotated relative to the case in a tightening direction, the spool is not affected by the locking unit and is allowed to rotate in the tightening direction for fastening the lace. When the knob is rotated relative to the case in a loosening direction, the spool is allowed to freely rotate in the loosening direction to release the lace. As the knob is engaged with the housing via an engagement between the mounted portion and the engaged portion, the housing, the locking unit, the knob and the spool are combined and restricted.
