Abstract
A rotary closure system includes a dial with a projection on an underside of the dial to engage a pawl assembly, the pawl assembly in connection with teeth of a housing. The housing receives a spool therein, and the housing has teeth around a peripheral edge, the pawl assembly engageable with the teeth of the housing. A base member or flange may be coupled or integral to the housing for connecting the rotary closure system to an article of clothing, such as a shoe. The rotary system has a first, locked position and a second, unlocked position. In the first, locked position, an inner arm of the pawl assembly engages the spool and a tooth of the housing. In the second, unlocked position, the inner arm of the pawl assembly disengages the spool.
