Winding device
A winding device 1 including a base 3 including a drum accommodation portion 33 that accommodates a drum 4 including upward teeth 46 , the accommodation portion 33 being cylindrical and having a closed end, and a dial 5 including downward teeth ( 53 ) to rotate the drum 4 . The dial 5 is moved to a locked state in which the downward teeth are engaged with the upward teeth 46 to transmit rotation of the dial 5 to the drum 4 and an unlocked state in which the downward teeth are disengaged from the upward teeth 46 . The winding device 1 includes an annular gear ( 51 ) including projections and roots extending in the rotation axis direction of the dial 5 and a pawl 36 protruding from the drum accommodation portion 33 . The pawl 36 is designed to engage with the annular gear. The annular gear and the pawl 36 control rotation of the dial.
1. A winding device comprising:
a drum including upward teeth located on an upper side of the drum, wherein the drum is configured to wind a lace;
a base including a drum accommodation portion that accommodates the drum, wherein the accommodation portion is cylindrical and has a closed end;
a dial including downward teeth located on a lower side of the dial and engaging with the upward teeth of the drum to rotate the drum, wherein the dial is moved along a rotation axis direction of the dial to a locked state in which the downward teeth of the dial are engaged with the upward teeth of the drum to transmit rotation of the dial to the drum and an unlocked state in which the downward teeth are disengaged from the upward teeth of the drum to freely rotate the drum;
an annular gear formed on a circumferential portion of the dial, wherein the annular gear includes projections and troughs extending in the rotation axis direction of the dial; and
a pawl protruding from the drum accommodation portion, wherein the pawl engages with the annular gear,
wherein the pawl protrudes outward from a spring portion arranged concyclically with a cylindrical annular wall that configures the drum accommodation portion,
wherein the pawl is integrated with the cylindrical annular wall that configures the drum accommodation portion, and
wherein:
the pawl protrudes outward from the spring portion formed by cutting out the cylindrical annular wall that configures the drum accommodation portion, and
elastic deformation of the spring portion toward an inside of the drum accommodation portion causes the pawl to slide up and over the projection of the annular gear, which is formed to be cylindrical on the circumferential portion of the dial, allowing the dial to rotate, and
wherein the annular gear and the pawl control rotation of the dial.
2. The winding device according to claim 1 , wherein
a cutout formed on the annular wall, which is cylindrical, spreads outward, and
a gap between an inside of the cutout and the spring portion is extremely small.
3. The winding device according to claim 1 , wherein
the dial integrally includes the downward teeth and the annular gear, and
the dial accommodates
a spring that switches the dial between a locked position at which rotation of the dial is transmitted to the drum and a cancelled position at which the drum freely rotates, and
a shaft member that holds the spring.
