I wonder if we could utilize this Back to the Future tech

[Shannon SteelSlave]

Those power laced sneakers from "Back to the Future 2" (1989) were cool, but I was always a little afraid of them. It just hit me as to why.

You slip them on, tap the button, say "Power laces." "All right!" and off you go. I hear the real life model can be controlled by an app. So could this technology be used to fasten and lock other types of clothing, and in the case of corsets, adjust its tightness, remotely by a master? Could cuffs be time locked? As long it is mechanically impossible to over tighten, sounds like fun to me.

Just need to be aware of the "Lace release" command...
Especially if the command releases your clothes...

and in the case of corsets, adjust its tightness, remotely by a master?

Someone mentioned corsets?

I'm not too sure about that. Mechanically tightening corsets, that is, remotely or not.

Tightening a corset is much more than just pulling on the laces. It's meticulously pulling in the slack, one little bit at a time, where the laces cross, one by one, top to bottom for the chest and waist, and bottom to top for the hips and bum. Seriously, if a machine were to do this job, it would need some kind of AI and a buttload of sensors to monitor tightness, pulling force, etc. One might need a server farm just to handle that. OK, maybe a server chicken coop...

Personally, I think that would take away the "labor of love" aspect of wearing a corset. The sensual act of pulling those laces, feeling the unyielding cloth and boning pressing ever so slightly tighter every time, just cannot be left to a machine. Ooooohhh... that's so sexy...

I figured that ideas related to using technology like this would probably become part of a fictional story, if one were so inclined. If we're dreaming out loud, how about heels that become taller, like Biff Jr's baseball bat weapon he used in the cafe 80's. Or hog tie me to a hover board.
Still, if any would be DIYers are planning to extract the self tightening belts from the sneakers, I can not think of any back up release to free yourself from the wall or bed you surely would strap yourself to.

I once saw this automatic trapping machine https://nl.pornhub.com/view_video.php?v ... b24b03c2e6 from 4:30.

I saw that video a while ago. quite the machine. would love to have one in my basement.
And Jenny, do you ever use a lace hook to get the laces as tight as possible?

[occorics]

the video is from Jim Weather's bondagecafe if i remember correctly... good old times...
There was once a selfbondage-chair (Paul Mauser's?) that had a similar mechanism.

Yes, I also remember the chair.
Moreover, I also remember the explanation of the mechanism, but I did not find it immediately.

The "machine" in that movie is faked though (There is a reason they show only one strap tightening in closeup . Not that it wouldn't be possible to do this for real, OrgasmAlleys air-cuffs would work perfectly for this.

As to the chair, I think you mean this monster/beauty. ISTR the original builder stopped making them when someone ignored all safety advice, got himself stuck in the self-bondage version of the chair and died. That design used a small wire/string near one of the hands running to a modified panic snap for release. I don't know how the tightening mechanism worked by it was activated by a quick jerk upwards on the straps.

Edit: I may have been wrong about the "stopped making them" story. I think the builder is a guy from Germany that still seems to be active. His Fetlife profile is "Selfbondagechair" and has lots of drool worthy photo's of very nice toys.

as far as i remember, the belt was tightened by a spring or bungee-cord. It was held in the loose position by a bolt that was caught in a hook. If you pulled it up, it would slip over the hook and under a second one that secured it.
and yes, there was a panic-snap on a wire...

i think the easiest way might be a modified seat-belt that only goes one way... there would need to be an end-stop, so it can only tighten to a certain degree and on the other end, i'd mount an ice-lock or electro-magnet, so that it gives enough slack to slip the hand out...

or even easier, embed electro-magnets into the arm-rests and mount the wrist cuffs directly to the strike-plates...

i think it's not too difficult to built a safe version... for me , the biggest issue would be where to store such a big chair...

(1) would be the release ice, magnet or however
(2) is the hook that keeps it loose
(3) catches the bolt and locks the hand in

And Jenny, do you ever use a lace hook to get the laces as tight as possible?

The only hook I use is one screwed solidly into a door frame, but only to hold the slack, not for pulling. I use my fingers to gradually pull the laces as I described above, top to bottom above the waist, bottom to top below the waist, each time inching ever so slightly forward to maintain tension on the slack.

When I feel I'm done, I grab the laces and unhook them, and do that knot behind my back.

Using the hook to pull the laces strains the corset unnaturally, pulling perpendicularly away from the waist instead of tangentially along the waist. A bone could get twisted in its channel and that is not comfortable!

See what happens when you get me going?
