Method for putting on or taking off a piece of clothing or for closing, putting on, opening, or taking off a piece of luggage

A method for tightening an article, comprising:

• providing a rotary closure for tightening the article, wherein the rotary closure comprises a tensioning roller for winding a tensioning element, and the tensioning roller is driven by an electric motor,
• providing a switching element that is connected to a controller, wherein the switching element and the controller can actuate the electric motor, tightening of the article takes place by actuating of the switching element by a user of the same using a finger, and the switching element comprises a plurality of touch-sensitive sensors that are arranged one beside the other,
• passing the finger of the user over the surface of the touch-sensitive sensors in a first direction, and
• detecting the signal of the touch-sensitive sensors by the controller and causing tensioning of the tensioning element by the controller and the electric motor,
• wherein a fastening force level of the tensioning element is increased in steps.

A device for putting on or taking off an article, comprising:

• a rotary closure for tightening the article that includes at least one tensioning element, wherein the rotary closure comprises a rotatably arranged tensioning roller for winding the tensioning element, wherein the tensioning roller is driven by an electric motor,
• a switching element which is connected to a controller, wherein the switching element and the controller can actuate the electric motor,
• wherein the tightening of a hat, a jacket, trousers, a hoodie, a bra or a belt, or the closing, putting on, opening or taking off a backpack or a sports or travel bag takes place by actuating of the switching element,
• wherein the switching element comprises a number of touch-sensitive sensors which are arranged one beside the other and form a surface which is accessible to a user,
• wherein the touch-sensitive sensors are configured to receive a first swipe by the user, which causes the electric motor to rotate the tensioning roller to a first level of fastening, and
• wherein a second swipe along the touch-sensitive sensors by a user causes the electric motor to rotate the tensioning roller to a second level of fastening.
