Definitions

  • the notches may be on the two edges, in which case the tongue is applied, firstly to the notch formed on the edge where the tongue commences and in a second movement to the notch of the opposite edge, in order to maintain a tight closure.
  • the tongue extends for at least, or nearly half, of the lengths on the inner and outer sides without creating excess thickness.
  • the locking part under the said first edge is arranged at a distance such that it can retain a sufficient length of tongue under the said first edge and also the elastic part must be at a certain distance from the slit in the rest state so that with maximum tension of the elastic part, the non visible part of the tongue under the first edge extends outside the slit without the elastic part showing where it passes through the slit.
  • the tongue is pulled in such a way as to position the tongue at the maximum position in its housing formed by one of the notches.
  • the notches and the tongue are provided with self gripping systems so they can be fastened by simple pressure.
  • the edge where the tongue is located would be wider in order to cover the instep and would pass under the other edge, so that the edge where the tongue starts passes under the other edge after closing.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a closure with two edges, of the edge to edge type, comprising at least one tongue in at least one edge used, as an example, for a shoe in which the fabric parts of the fastening of the notches of the two edges are sown and glued underneath the outer leather.
  • the notches of the two edges are opposite each other.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show the same principle of fastening mentioned above, with two edges 1 and 2 but of the overlapping type and with the difference that the slit 4 where the tongue 5 passes may be created at any length from the edge 2 , pulling on the tongue 5 causes an extension of the elastic part 9 which allows the tongue to extend outside the slit and be fastened by means of its looped fabric part 7 glued all along the tongue 5 to the hooked part 6 of the notch 3 positioned on the opposite edge 2 .
  • two notches 3 could be used on the two edges 1 , 2 opposite to each other.
