Description

Improvement to boots

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of improvement of the boots to boots, particularly motorcyclist.

Background technology

At present, most of boots (here for instance) for the motorcyclist use uses the base section of the next closed shank of zipper lock closed system (abbreviating " zip " as), particularly in ankle or heel area.For example, about known zipper lock closed system, but list of references EP1,256,286, DE19523669, DE3204260.Zip generally two boot uppers (flap) by making boots thereby or two parts two parts of boots are bonded together or are closed towards motion each other, perhaps regulate two distances between the boot upper and come closed boots so that boots is fit to the shape of pin.Yet zip is uncontrollable, because it can only be drawn back or be closed.For described purpose, obviously can have and be arranged to isomorphism type not and one or more zips in different closed position.

But each in these schemes all has identical defective.Under closed situation when sliding part when the tractive force in being present in boots is passed in the zip tooth portion when pulled and during use, the zip effect that all meets with stresses.The reliability and the operating efficiency of zip are subjected to negative effect---not only owing to this reason, and because boots kiss the earth and inevitably at the dust of there accumulation in practice.In addition because the design of zip, zip draw back and closed process in may therefore demonstrate the limitation of boots closure or adjusting device along a directive effect.Consider the kind of design of existing boots, under the situation of breakage, also be difficult for changing zip, unless make the part off-line or the unsticking of boots.At last, the zip regulating system can not make the edge of zip surpass the amount that can reach towards moving each other when zip is closed fully.Therefore, the too little or too big user of pin is owing to boot sizes is on a sticky wicket because in case wear bad/threadbare just can not further tighten up boots again.

Summary of the invention

The objective of the invention is to obtain the boots of a kind of boots, particularly a kind of motorcyclist, this boots has simple and reliable closed-system in the ankle zone, and does not have the limitation of the closed-system of zip type.

Described purpose realizes by the boots of a kind of boots, particularly a kind of motorcyclist, this boots has leg-piece (leg piece) and is used for changing the close mechanism of boots in the size of heel area, it is characterized in that, described close mechanism comprises at least one at the elongated portion that extends between two sidepieces in leg-piece above the heel, and this elongated portion surrounds heel in the back and can tighten up around heel in adjustable mode.

The specific embodiment

Referring to figs. 1 to 4, represent according to leather boots of the present invention with 10.Boots 10 have along a sidepiece 13 open, the leg-piece 12 of 14 closures along the other side.Described sidepiece 13 has boot upper 16, and this boot upper 16 is guided by the heel 11 towards boots 10, and ends in the band of being made by non-stretchable material (for example finished leather) 18 in the bottom, and this band 18 has the perforation otch 20 of optionally vertical wire.Band 18 is set in place in the top of the band of being made by different (being preferably elasticity) materials of below (not shown) and combines with it.Otch 20 in the band 18 can broaden, and the band of being made by elastomeric material that is positioned at the below can be extended by along continuous straight runs, thereby the overall width of the assembly that comprises these two kinds of bands can significantly be increased.

Band 18 extends towards heel 11 with flexible elongated portion 22, and as described below, this flexibility elongated portion 22 can surround heel 11 (or its top) in the back, and all can tighten up (Fig. 3 and 4) in adjustable mode on the both sides of described heel 11.But when requiring flexible portion 22 longitudinal stretchings, this flexible portion 22 can be for example made by leather or plastics or rubber.But, in the time of on its position, also can use rigid element.

Described part 22 roughly has the form of tapered band, thereby when it was set near the heel string top, zone, it had narrowed section 29, also is formed with the opening of perforation in this narrowed section 29.There is shown the single eyelet 23 that in narrowed section 29 zones, has opening, have difformity and different a plurality of this eyelets of arranging but also can imagine.In order in narrowed section 29, to form opening 23, above heel 11, flexible portion 22 is divided into two independent substantially parallel faciolas 24, and the form with eyelet is bonded together described faciola 24 surpassing outside the heel 11 once more, and is connected to the butt strip 26 (seeing Fig. 3 and 4) of tooth.

The narrowing down of opening 23 and/or flexible portion 22 be designed so that in the heel string zone at least on the heel 11 and/or above, the latter can be compressed (seeing Fig. 3 and 4) along the direction Y that is basically perpendicular to its length.Therefore flexible portion 22 does not stop the gentle song of the material that forms boots 10, if particularly the leg-piece 12 of boots has portion's section 13 of being made by more pliable and tougher and softer material in heel 11 zones.The gentle song of portion's section 13 or bending are not hindered by described part 22, and this part 22 deforms, therefore, although boots 10 is very next to the shin very comfortable.By the same token, flexible portion 22 is not gone up at heel string (its tensile force mainly is passed to the there) and is produced abnormal and tedious pressure.

In fact, use adjustable strainer 30, for example EP1, the known devices described in 611,811, described part 22 can be tightened up around heel 11.

For on the heel 11 and/or above tighten up boots 10 and make boots 10 be fit to his/her pin, the user must catch part 22, makes it through heel 11 rears (or top) and use strainer 30 to be fixed on the sidepiece of boots 10.By operating mechanism 30, can change the tensioning of part 22 on section 13 in known manner, and therefore change the heel that is used for the wearer of boots 10 and the inner space of pin.

Obviously, the present invention has many advantages: exempted the zip of any kind, as carrying, this is a kind of thorny (delicate) parts; Part 22 makes the heel area song that can soften; Make the position of described part 22 closures and easiness also make it possible to improve grasping to heel; The simplicity of design of boots and firmly; Parts of the present invention can easily be changed under the situation of breakage; And realized regulating with the closure that zip can not be realized.

Consider Fig. 5 and 6 now, they illustrate two kinds of variations 100,200 of the present invention.Similarly part is represented with the identical Reference numeral that uses before.

In Fig. 5, flexible portion 22 still has opening and elongated shape, but not to have the butt strip 26 that tooth is arranged now, be installed in the face of the Velcro on the sidepiece of heel 11 (Velcro) band (not shown) but have, this Velcro band remains on another Velcro band 50, described another Velcro band is fixed on the tongue 52, and this tongue 52 is fixed on again on the sidepiece 14 of leg-piece 12.For part 22 is fixing in position and have all advantages of above-mentioned example, around the described part 22 of heel 11 tensionings and that described two Velcro bands self are arranged is just enough stackedly in adjustable mode.

In Fig. 6, flexible portion 22 has opening and elongated shape once more.Comprise that at its free end the tongue 58 that a ring 56, is fixed on the sidepiece 14 of leg-piece 12 can insert in this ring 56.Tongue 58 has the first Velcro band (not shown) and at the second Velcro band 60 of its bases near leg-piece 12, the described first Velcro band is installed on the opposite side of heel 11 at its place, end.With tongue 58 insert in the ring 56, towards sidepiece 14 these tongues of pulling of leg-piece 12 and himself is folding just enough.Described part 22 is provided with around heel 11, and by self arrange two Velcro bands stackedly, described part is fixed on the appropriate location in adjustable mode, and is had all advantages of first example once more.

Other modification also is possible, for example by the imagination strainer on the both sides of leg-piece and/or imagination can forever be separated with boots or 2 elongated parts of locating to be fixed on the boots of tightening up.
