A spool-and-stop closure mechanism enables stepwise tightening and loosening while preventing over-release below a lace tension threshold.
A 3D rotary drum encoder replaces fragile planar optics to cut stack-up and improve rotational tracking in motorized footwear lacing.
Internal supports pass through the PCB to redirect sole impact forces to the motor or battery, improving autolacing footwear durability.
A spool-and-knob closure enables stepwise tightening and loosening while a stop mechanism blocks over-loosening below a tension threshold.
Supports extending through the PCB redirect sole forces to the motor or battery, reducing PCB damage in autolacing footwear.
A cylindrical optical encoder cuts fragility and stack-up in motorized footwear lacing while maintaining accurate rotational tracking.
