    Abstract: A lacing system for tightening an article includes a first guide that is coupled with the article and positioned within a first zone of the article and a second guide that is coupled with the article and positioned within a second zone of the article with at least a portion of the second zone being different than the first zone. A first tension member is guided by the first guide within the first zone and a second tension member is guided by the second guide within the second zone. Tensioning of the first tension member or second tension member causes tightening of the respective zone of the article. A tensioning mechanism is also coupled with the article and with the first and second tension members. The tensioning mechanism is configured to tension the first and second tension members to tighten the first and second zones of the article.

    Abstract: A closure system for a boot or other footwear includes a tension member that is disposed within the boot and routed or guided about a path within the boot via one or more guides. The closure system also includes an adjustment member that is disposed within the boot and operably coupled with the tension member. The closure system further includes a reel based closure device having a knob that is operable to tension the tension member and to release tension from the tension member. Tensioning of the tension member adjusts a fit of the adjustment member about a foot within the boot to secure the foot within the boot and loosening of the tension member adjusts the fit of the adjustment member about the foot to allow the foot to be more easily removed from the boot.

    Abstract: A device for coupling a component to a rack includes a main body, a tension member, and a tightening mechanism. The main body includes a proximal end and a distal end that is releasably coupled with the proximal end. The main body is positionable around a body portion of the rack and the distal end is coupleable with the proximal end to secure the main body to the body portion of the rack. The tension member is attached to the main body, the proximal end, and/or the distal end of the device. The tightening mechanism is operably coupled with the tension member and configured to tension the tension member to shorten a longitudinal length of the main body and thereby constrict the main body about the rack to firmly secure the device to the rack.

    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a system for tightening an article about a limb includes a reel based closure system having a tension member that is guided about the article and tensionable to close or tighten the article and a reel based tightening mechanism that is configured to tension the tension member and to maintain the tension member's tension so that the article remains closed or tightened. The system also includes a strap having a first end that is attached to a first edge of the article and a second end that is operably coupled with the reel based closure system so that tensioning of the tension member causes the strap to be tensioned. An intermediate portion of the strap spans a portion of an opening of the article and is slidingly positioned within a ring component that is attached to a second edge of the article.
