Abstract
Various embodiments of a system and associated methods for an improved rotary closure for tensioning a tensioned lacing element are disclosed herein. In particular, the improved rotary closure includes an adjuster component in association with a tensioning component to incrementally counter-rotate the tensioning component and a tensioned cylindrical device, enabling micro-adjustment of the rotary closure without complete de-tensioning of the tensioned cylindrical device.
