Abstract (en)
[origin: JPH02182201A] PURPOSE: To make it possible to ensure the neutral state of a movement, by slacking a part of the cord that passes above a matching fulcrum, and compensating the tension of the cord so that the pressure applied to a device for dispersing pressure may remain unchanged as the leg is bent. CONSTITUTION: While the leg is bent, the leg of a boot, i.e., the rear surface part 3 takes a turn forward centering around a jointed part. During this movement, the course between a device for dispersing pressure (DDP) 6 and a stretching device 7 is pulled, so the part 5a of the cord 5 receives tension. At the same time, however, the setting point 12 of the part 5a moves to a place close to the DDP 6, and the part 5b of the cord becomes shorter. This shortening compensates the elongation of the part 5a. A loop consisting of the parts 5a and 5b creeps within a reversible mechanism 11 and the tension applied to the DDP 6 remains unchanged in the long run. In order for a fastening mechanism to show a fully neutral state of a movement when the leg is bent, it would be better for the parts 5a and 5b of the cable to pass the points of an equal distance from a geometrical matching fulcrum on the leg of the boot, i.e., from the axis of a rivet 4.
