Abstract
The adjustment device for a portable element comprises two elementary strands and two adjustment units each comprising a slide path for one of the elementary strands and a fixing system for one of the ends of the other of the elementary strands, the slide path of one of the elementary strands being laterally offset with respect to the fixing system of the other of the elementary strands.
Claims16
An adjustment device comprising:
- two elementary strands;
- and
- two adjustment units, which are separate and distinct from each other, one of the adjustment units comprising:
- a slide path that receives one of the elementary strands, so that the elementary strand slides with respect to the adjustment unit;
- and
- a fixing system that fixes an end of the other of the elementary strands to the adjustment unit, wherein:
- the slide path of said one of the elementary strands is laterally offset in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elementary strands with respect to the fixing system of the other of the elementary strands, and
- the fixing system of one of the elementary strands on the adjustment unit is configured so that the elementary strand is oriented in a different direction from the other elementary strand in the slide path.
5 more elements
An adjustment device comprising:
- a plurality of elementary strands, the plurality of elementary strands comprising a first elementary strand and a second elementary strand;
- and
- a plurality of adjustment units, the plurality of adjustment units comprising:
- (i) a first adjustment unit, the first adjustment unit comprising:
- a first slide portion, the first slide portion receiving the first elementary strand such that the first elementary strand slides within the first adjustment unit along a longitudinal direction of the first elementary strand;
- and
- a first fixing portion that fixes an end portion of the second elementary strand to the first adjustment unit such that the second elementary strand is not able to slide inside the adjustment unit along a longitudinal direction of the second elementary strand;
- and
- (ii) a second adjustment unit, the second adjustment unit comprising:
- a second slide portion, the second slide portion receiving the second elementary strand such that the second elementary strand slides within the second adjustment unit along the longitudinal direction of the second elementary strand;
- and
- a second fixing portion that fixes an end portion of the first elementary strand to the second adjustment unit such that the first elementary strand is not able to slide inside the second adjustment unit along the longitudinal direction of the first elementary strand,
- wherein the first fixing portion fixes the end portion of the second elementary strand to the first adjustment unit such that the longitudinal axis of the end portion of the second elementary strand is oriented in a different direction from the longitudinal axis of a portion of the first elementary strand within the first slide portion, and
- wherein the second fixing portion fixes the end portion of the first elementary strand to the second adjustment unit such that the longitudinal axis of the end portion of the first elementary strand is oriented in a different direction from the longitudinal axis of a portion of the second elementary strand within the second slide portion.
