A shoe closure mechanism having a rolling disk which lies on a bottom wall of a housing part, with the rolling disk being a flat, narrow ring whose inner face forms an inner gearing and whose outer face forms a rotatable guide path with the inner wall of a peripheral edge of the housing part. Furthermore, an eccentric driving disk lies on the bottom wall of the housing part within the rolling disk in the same plane with it. A cable pulley lies on the rolling disk and the eccentric driving disk, and it engages with drive pegs in circular openings of the eccentric driving disk and rotates on a section of an axle unit. The driving disk has a central hole which receives an eccentric driving peg that projects axially from the axle unit into a central opening of the driving disk. A bearing peg projects from the eccentric driving peg centrally with respect to the axis of rotation into a bearing hole of the housing part, and a driving projection projects from the axle unit, on the side opposite the eccentric driving peg and the bearing peg, into a hole of a rotating element that closes the top of the housing part. The driving projection is rigidly coupled with the rotating element. At least one opening that aligns with recesses of the rolling disk is provided in the housing part, and a fixing pin of a spring clip removably engages in the opening.
Shoe closure mechanism comprising a housing part, a rotating element that closes a top side of the housing part, a cable pulley coupled with the rotating element by an eccentric driving element, the cable pulley being located in a housing part having a bottom wall and an axially projecting peripheral edge, an eccentric drive peg coupled with the rotating element and centrally engaged in an eccentric driving disk that has outer gearing, and is rotatably mounted to move parallel to the cable pulley, the cable pulley having drive pegs on it that engage in circle openings of the eccentric driving disk, coupling the cable pulley with the eccentric driving disk, and with a pivoted rolling disk having an inner gearing lying parallel to the cable pulley and on which the outer gearing of the eccentric driving disk can roll, and with at least one recess on the periphery of the rolling disk in which a fixing element can engage and secure the rolling disk against rotation, wherein the rolling disk lies on the bottom wall of the housing part;
