Abstract

This invention provides a rope stopping device and a wearable object incorporating the device for accommodating and positioning a rope. The device includes a base, an eccentric wheel, and a spring arm. The base longitudinally forms a semi-open accommodating space and a positioning element, with the positioning element located within the accommodating space. The eccentric wheel is mounted on the positioning element. The connecting end of the spring arm is connected to the base, and the abutting end of the spring arm engages with the side wall of the eccentric wheel to limit the rotation angle of the eccentric wheel. The side wall of the eccentric wheel and the side wall of the accommodating space form a stopping channel. When the rope passes through and is engaged in the stopping channel, the spring arm applies force to the eccentric wheel, causing the side wall of the eccentric wheel to clamp the rope between itself and the side wall of the accommodating space. This invention uses the downward pressure of the rope to rotate the eccentric wheel, changing the width of the stopping channel. When the rope is fixed in the stopping channel, the spring arm applies force to the eccentric wheel, causing it to rotate and quickly clamp the rope. The operation is simple and convenient.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rope-tying device technology, and more specifically to a rope-stopping device and a wearable object having the rope-stopping device. Background Technology

[0002] The earliest known use of ropes dates back tens of thousands of years. When humans first acquired the simplest tools, they twisted and turned grass or small twigs into ropes, using them to bind wild animals, secure thatched huts, and make belts to fasten grass skirts. In daily life, ropes are a common method of securing footwear, medical protective gear, and other everyday items.

[0003] Taking shoes as an example, after putting them on, users need to adjust the shoes to fit their feet by tying shoelaces or using other adjustable devices. The most common method is for users to manually tie the ends of the shoelaces after putting them on, which is cumbersome and inconvenient. Furthermore, shoelaces tend to loosen during exercise, which is especially inconvenient when walking or carrying many items and needing to be tightened; and particularly during exercise, a loose shoelace can easily lead to an accident. Therefore, how to provide a rope-locking device that eliminates the need for manual knotting is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the present invention aims to provide a rope-stopping device that eliminates the need for manual knotting and tightening of the rope. When installed on wearable objects, it can quickly lock and clamp the rope to prevent it from slipping, thereby reducing the probability of shoelaces coming undone.

[0005] This invention provides a rope stopping device for receiving and positioning a rope, including...

[0006] A base, wherein the base longitudinally forms a semi-open accommodating space and a positioning element, and the positioning element is located within the accommodating space;

[0007] An eccentric wheel is mounted on the positioning element;

[0008] The spring arm has a connecting end connected to the base, and the abutting end of the spring arm cooperates with the side wall of the eccentric wheel to limit the rotation angle of the eccentric wheel.

[0009] The side wall of the eccentric wheel and the side wall of the accommodating space form a stop channel. When the rope passes through and gets stuck in the stop channel, the elastic arm applies a force to the eccentric wheel so that the side wall of the eccentric wheel clamps the rope between the side wall of the accommodating space and the side wall of the accommodating space.

[0010] Furthermore, the base is provided with a first rope-passing hole for the rope to pass through the accommodating space.

[0011] Furthermore, the base forms two semi-open accommodating spaces longitudinally, and the two eccentric wheels are symmetrically arranged in the two accommodating spaces respectively; the two spring arms are located on both sides of the base.

[0012] Furthermore, the base is also provided with an insertion part for the rope to enter the stop channel and a second rope hole for the rope to pass through the stop channel and exit the base; the insertion part is provided with a pull member for the rope to disengage from the stop channel.

[0013] Furthermore, the base is also provided with a third rope hole, which is used for a rope passing through the second rope hole to be threaded through; a stop bar is provided on the third rope hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the insertion part, the second rope hole, and the third rope hole are sequentially arranged on the same straight line.

[0015] Furthermore, the two opposing sidewalls of the eccentric wheel are respectively provided with a stop part and a pressing part, and the abutting end of the spring arm abuts against the pressing part.

[0016] Furthermore, the stop portion protrudes radially at equal intervals to form a wave shape.

[0017] Furthermore, the bottom of the extrusion section protrudes radially to make the extrusion section step-shaped; the abutting end of the elastic arm abuts against the upper part of the extrusion section.

[0018] Furthermore, the rope stopping device also includes a top cover, the lower surface of which is provided with a plurality of positioning pins; both the eccentric wheel and the base are provided with positioning holes that cooperate with the positioning pins; when the top cover is placed on the base and the eccentric wheel, the positioning pins and the positioning holes cooperate with each other.

[0019] Furthermore, the rope stop device also includes a base, which is located at the bottom of the base; the base has an installation groove for mounting the base.

[0020] This invention also provides a wearable object, including the rope stop device described above; the wearable object further includes a rope and a rope hole for the rope to pass through.

[0021] The rope stopping device and wearable object with the rope stopping device provided in this embodiment have the following advantages: the side wall of the eccentric wheel and the side wall of the accommodating space form a stopping channel. The spring arm helps to limit the rotation angle of the eccentric wheel. When the rope is pressed down, it drives the eccentric wheel to rotate, thereby changing the width of the stopping channel so that the rope is fixed in the stopping channel. The spring arm applies force to the eccentric wheel to make the eccentric wheel rotate, thereby making the side wall of the eccentric wheel and the side wall of the accommodating space quickly clamp the rope. The operation is simple and convenient, and there is no need to manually tie the rope. Attached Figure Description

[0037] [First Embodiment]

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a rope stopping device 100 for accommodating and positioning a rope, including a base 10, an eccentric wheel 20, and a spring arm 30. The base 10 longitudinally forms a semi-open accommodating space S and a positioning member 11, with the positioning member 11 located within the accommodating space S. The positioning member 11 is cylindrical.

[0039] The eccentric wheel 20 is mounted on the positioning member 11 and can rotate around the positioning member 11. The connecting end of the spring arm 30 is connected to the base 10, and the abutting end of the spring arm 30 cooperates with the side wall of the eccentric wheel 20 to limit the rotation angle of the eccentric wheel 20 and prevent the eccentric wheel 20 from rotating too much.

[0040] The side wall of the eccentric wheel 20 and the side wall of the accommodating space S form a stop channel. When the rope passes through and is locked in the stop channel, the spring arm 30 applies force to the eccentric wheel 20, causing the side wall of the eccentric wheel 20 to clamp the rope between itself and the side wall of the accommodating space S. In actual use, pulling the rope longitudinally upwards disengages it from the stop channel, allowing the rope to be pulled. After adjusting the rope, locking it back into the stop channel prevents it from being pulled and fixes its current position.

[0041] It is worth mentioning that the width of the rope should be greater than the width of the stop channel in order to clamp the rope when it is stuck in the stop channel.

[0042] Specifically, the base 10 has a first rope-passing hole 12 for the rope to pass through the accommodating space S. The first rope-passing hole 12 can be the bottom of the base 10 or the side of the base 10.

[0043] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, the first rope hole 12 is provided at the bottom of the base 10, that is, the rope is passed through the bottom of the base 10 into the accommodating space S.

[0044] As another optional implementation method of this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The first rope hole 12 is located on the side of the base 10, meaning that the rope passes through the side of the base 10 into the accommodating space S (e.g., Figure 5 (As shown).

[0045] It is worth mentioning that the rope must pass through the rope stop device 100 after entering the accommodating space S, so as to switch the use state of the rope stop device 100 by lifting or pulling the rope up or down through the end of the rope. The use state includes the stopped state where the rope is stuck in the stop channel and the free state where the rope is free from the stop channel.

[0046] Specifically, please refer to [the relevant document] again. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The eccentric wheel 20 has two opposing sidewalls respectively equipped with a stop part 21 and a pressing part 22, and the abutting end of the spring arm 30 abuts against the pressing part 22. When the rope is not engaged in the stop channel, the distance between the stop part 21 in the eccentric wheel 20 and the sidewall adjacent to the accommodating space S is the smallest, that is, the width of the stop channel is the smallest. During the process of the rope being engaged in the stop channel, because the width of the rope is greater than the width of the stop channel, the process of the rope being engaged pushes the eccentric wheel 20 to rotate, thereby changing the width of the stop channel. After the rope is engaged, the stop channel can clamp the rope under the action of the spring arm 30. Under normal use, pulling the rope at the inlet or outlet of the rope stop device 100 will not allow the rope to be pulled horizontally to its position.

[0047] More specifically, in order to increase the friction between the stop channel and the rope, the stop part 21 protrudes radially at equal intervals so that the stop part 21 forms a wave shape, ensuring that the rope will not slip when it is pulled, thereby achieving the effect of tightening.

[0048] More specifically, the bottom of the extrusion part 22 protrudes radially to make the extrusion part 22 step-shaped. The abutting end of the spring arm 30 abuts against the upper part of the extrusion part 22. Since the extrusion part 22 is step-shaped, the bottom surface of the spring arm 30 contacts the step surface of the extrusion part 22. While limiting the eccentric wheel 20 from the side, it also limits the eccentric wheel 20 longitudinally to prevent the eccentric wheel 20 from falling off during use.

[0049] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 The rope stop device 100 also includes a top cover 40, the lower surface of which is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 41; the eccentric wheel 20 and / or the base 10 are provided with positioning holes 42 that cooperate with the positioning posts 41. When the top cover 40 is placed on the base 10 and / or the eccentric wheel 20, the positioning posts 41 and the positioning holes 42 cooperate with each other. The top cover 40 can further prevent the eccentric wheel 20 from falling out of the rope stop device 100, and also makes the appearance of the rope stop device 100 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0050] The rope stop device 100 also includes a base 50, which is located at the bottom of the base 10. The base 50 has a mounting groove 51 for mounting the base 10. The rope stop device 100 can be sewn or fixed to wearable items with ropes, such as shoes or clothing, via the base 10. Preferably, the base 50 is made of synthetic fiber material, which can be directly sewn without the need for additional materials, making fixing simple and quick. Of course, other materials can be selected according to actual use; this invention does not limit the material of the base 50.

[0051] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the rope stop device 100 allows only one rope to pass through, meaning it can only fix one rope.

[0052] This invention also provides a wearable object, including the rope stop device 100 described above; the wearable object further includes a rope and a rope hole for the rope to pass through.

[0053] [Second Embodiment]

[0054] Please see Figure 6 The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that: the base 10 forms two semi-open accommodating spaces S in the longitudinal direction, the two eccentric wheels 20 are symmetrically arranged in the two accommodating spaces S respectively, and the two elastic arms 30 are located on both sides of the base 10 so that the rope stopping device 100 can stop the two ropes at the same time.

[0055] The base 10 is also provided with an insertion part 13 for the rope to pass into the stop channel and a second rope hole 14 for the rope to pass through the stop channel and exit the base 10. It is worth mentioning that there are also two second rope holes 14.

[0056] The insertion section 13 is divided into two areas by a dividing rod (not shown in the figure). Two ropes pass through the two areas of the two insertion sections 13 respectively to avoid interference between the two ropes. The insertion section 13 is provided with a pull member 15 for disengaging the rope from the stop channel. The pull member 15 can be a ring; during installation, the rope must pass through the ring. Pulling the pull member 15 upwards disengages the rope from the stop channel.

[0057] In actual use, after the two ropes are inserted into the insertion part 13 from the bottom, the ropes pass through the pull member 15, so that the ropes pass over the stop channel and then pass into the second rope hole 14. Then the ropes come out from the second rope hole 14. At this time, the rope stop device 100 is in the free state where the rope is detached from the stop channel. After the position of the rope is adjusted, the rope coming out of the second rope hole 14 is pulled, so that the rope is locked in the stop channel. Then the rope stop device 100 switches to the working state to clamp the rope and keep the rope in its current position.

[0058] [Third Embodiment]

[0059] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that the base 30 is further provided with a third rope hole 16, which is used for ropes passing through the second rope hole 14 to pass through. In actual use, the rope passing through the second rope hole 14 passes through the rope hole of the wearable object (such as a shoe) that needs to be fixed, and then passes out from the rope hole of the wearable object to pass through the third rope hole 16. The third rope hole 16 is provided with a stop bar 161 to divide the third rope hole 16 into two areas. The ropes passing through the two second rope holes 14 respectively enter the base 10 and cross each other to pass out from the bottom of the third rope hole 16.

[0060] More specifically, the insertion part 13, the second rope hole 14, and the third rope hole 16 are arranged sequentially on the same straight line.

[0061] Please see Figure 10Taking shoes as an example of wearable objects, the working principle and process of the first embodiment of the present invention are as follows: The rope stop device 100 is installed near any of the shoe holes at the top of the shoe. A single rope passes through the rope holes on the shoe one by one until it exits through the rope hole at the top of the shoe. The rope then passes through the first rope hole 12 into the rope stop device 100, passes over the stop channel, and exits the rope stop device 100. When a person puts on the shoes and adjusts the rope to the desired tightness, one hand holds the rope stop device 100, and the other hand pulls the rope that has exited the stop device 100, causing the rope to engage with the stop channel. Since the rope is wider than the initial width of the stop channel, the rope drives the eccentric wheel 20 to rotate during the engagement process, thus widening the stop channel. After the rope is engaged with the stop channel, the eccentric wheel 20 is reset under the force of the spring arm 30 to clamp the rope. When a person is moving, the rope stop device 100 can ensure that the shoes maintain their current tightness.

[0062] Please see Figure 11 Taking shoes as an example of wearable items, the working principle and process of the third embodiment of the present invention are as follows: The rope stop device 100 is set on the shoe tongue, and the rope passes through the rope hole at the bottom of the shoe in sequence to complete the rope threading. For ease of explanation, the rope hole where the rope is threaded is defined as the first rope hole. The two free ends of the rope pass through the insertion part 13 of the rope stop device 100, and simultaneously pass through the pull member 15 and then pass through two different stop channels, and then pass through the second rope hole 14 from the upper part of the rope stop device 100. The rope exits from the bottom of the two second rope holes 14 and passes through the second rope holes adjacent to the first rope hole on both sides of the shoe. The ropes that exit from the two second rope holes enter the third rope hole 16 from the bottom of the rope stop device 100, and the free ends of the two ropes pass through the stop bar 161 in a cross manner and then exit from the bottom of the third rope hole 16, so that the rope stop device 100 is in a free state. Once the shoes are put on and the laces are adjusted to the desired tightness, hold the lace stop device 100 with one hand and pull the portion of the laces before they are inserted into the stop channel with the other hand. This will tighten the laces. To loosen the laces and adjust the shoe width, simply pull the pull tab 15 upwards to release the laces from the stop channel. This process is quick and easy.

[0063] The rope stopping device and wearable object with the rope stopping device provided in this embodiment have the following advantages: the side wall of the eccentric wheel 20 and the side wall of the accommodating space S form a stopping channel. The spring arm 30 helps to limit the rotation angle of the eccentric wheel 20. When the rope is pressed down, it drives the eccentric wheel 20 to rotate, thereby changing the width of the stopping channel so that the rope is fixed in the stopping channel. At this time, the spring arm 30 applies a force to the eccentric wheel 20 to make the eccentric wheel 20 rotate, thereby making the side wall of the eccentric wheel 20 and the side wall of the accommodating space S quickly clamp the rope. The operation is simple and convenient, and there is no need to manually tie the rope.

[0064] In the above embodiments, the rope stop device 100 is used on wearable items that require a rope, such as shoes, medical protective gear, bags, and clothing. The rope stop device 100 is used to fix the position of the rope after adjusting the tightness of the wearable item.

[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
