Abstract

A dial drive fit system includes a dial handle and dial base containing a plurality of clicker arms capable of rotating a dial base axle in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. The dial drive fit system utilizes a dial with flexible arms that permit winding/unwinding of a spool when a user rotates the dial handle but prevents rotation when the dial handle is not actively rotated. The dial base axle is functionally coupled with the spool configured to receive and store a filament coiled around the spool. The dial drive fit system may be used with helmets, shoes, knee braces, and any item meant to be secured or requiring adjustable tightening.
