Abstract:
A tensioning system for articles of footwear and articles of apparel is disclosed. The tensioning system includes a tensioning member that is tightened or loosened using a motorized tensioning device for winding and unwinding the tensioning member on a spool. The motorized tensioning device includes a torque transmitting system that allows for incremental tightening, incremental loosening and full loosening of the tensioning member.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for adjusting a tensioning member in an article of footwear, comprising:\n operating a torque transmitting system in an incremental tighten mode where torque generated by a motor is used to rotate a spool in a first rotational direction and thereby tighten the tensioning member incrementally; operating the torque transmitting in an incremental loosen mode where the motor rotates the spool in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction to lessen the tension in the tensioning member incrementally; and operating the torque transmitting system in a full loosen mode in which substantially no torque is transmitted from the torque transmitting system to the spool.
