REEL-BASED LACING SYSTEM

摘要

A lacing system configured to selectively adjust the size of an opening on an object and allow for the incremental release of the lace within the lacing system. The lacing system can have a reel that includes a housing, a spool supported by the housing, and a knob supported by the housing. The reel can be configured so that cable is gathered in the channel formed in the spool when the spool is rotated in a first direction relative to the housing, and so that cable can be incrementally released from the spool when the spool is rotated in a second direction relative to the housing.

1. A mounting component for releasably coupling a reel based closure device to a shoe, the mounting component comprising:
a base component having a slot that is configured to receive a mounting member of the reel based closure device by positioning the mounting within the slot of the base component; a securing portion that extends laterally from the base component and partially surrounds the base component, the securing portion being attachable to the article to secure the base component to the article; and an attachment component that is configured to releasably secure the reel based closure device to the base component after the mounting member of the reel base closure device is positioned within the slot of the base component, the attachment component being integrally formed with the base component.
