Technical field

The present invention relates to footwear, sport footwear especially, and relate to more especially and be used to be engaged in skiing, footrace or track-and-field footwear.

Background technology

These class footwear can be used in for example cross-country skiing or Te Lima skiing, level land or mountain region walking or running, mountaineering or even the field of skis, snowshoe, skidding, slide plate, cycling, ball game or other motions in.

In some exercise activity, it is favourable that footwear are configured in use to avoid foreign matter to invade its inside.For example, in the field of cross-country skiing, will seek to avoid snow to invade upper of a shoe.

Show cross-country boot according to prior art by means of Fig. 1, Fig. 1 forms the part of the accompanying drawing that will carefully state hereinafter.

According to Fig. 1, footwear 1 comprise sole 2 and upper of a shoe 3.Upper of a shoe 3 has soft cladding 4, this cladding is set with around ankle and wrap user's foot at least in part.Cladding 4 defines the upper end 5 of footwear.Because cladding is flexible and is configured to the maintenance of execution around user's ankle 6, thereby cladding prevents that foreign matter from entering in the footwear.For example avoid unfavorable the entering of avenging.

Flexible cladding has the drawback that user's heel can not be remained in the footwear.This is to consider to be furnished with ribbon 8 to footwear why.Ribbon extends to another avris 11 from an avris 10 of footwear, walks around the cladding 4 that is positioned at heel 12 tops.Certainly, ribbon 8 is oriented to stop lifting of heel 13.Therefore user's heel is correctly remained in the footwear, and this allows to control accurately and avoided wound.

As a supplement, footwear 1 comprise gripping member 14, and gripping member is in heel 12 sides, be connected mutually with cladding 4 in 5 places, upper end of footwear.Member 14 allows to impose tractive on cladding 4, so that it slides along pin and ankle when wearing footwear.This makes things convenient for the insertion of pin in footwear.

But can find out that often, the insertion of pin in footwear is not so to be easy to.In fact can occur in the situation of heel 12 on heel collides with when wearing footwear.This makes that pin is uncomfortable or hinders pin.Therefore the user need prolong operation and wears footwear to finish.

Summary of the invention

Compare to this, the present invention seeks to improve the footwear that comprise soft cladding.Purpose of the present invention especially is conveniently to wear footwear, makes that promptly pin more easily enters in the footwear.

For this reason, the present invention proposes to comprise the footwear of sole and upper of a shoe, footwear extend up to leading section from rearward end on length, are extending between the outside and inboard on the width, and are in height extending up to the upper end from sole, footwear has flexible cladding, this cladding is set with the ankle around the user, cladding defines the upper end of footwear, and footwear also comprise gripping member, in the rearward end side, this gripping member is connected with cladding mutually in the footwear upper end.

Footwear according to the present invention are characterised in that described footwear comprise not extensible intensive aspect, and intensive aspect links to each other rearward end with gripping member.

Can see that hereinafter intensive aspect can have different outward appearances.It allows tensioning links to each other gripping member with rearward end cladding branch under all scenario.Tension can be provisional or persistent.

Therefore when the user inserts foot in the footwear and spur gripping member with the direction opposite with the foot direction of insertion simultaneously, intensive aspect thereby the heel before rearward end or the heel led.Therefore, advantageously, foot easily enters in the footwear.Wear footwear and can not produce discomfort, even if or discomfort is arranged also is very little.

Prevailingly, footwear according to the present invention are improvements over the prior art, and the scope of application is wider.

The specific embodiment

First embodiment that next will be described relates to the footwear that are used to be engaged in horse skiing in cross-country skiing or the spy more especially.But the present invention is applicable to foregoing other field.

Be described by means of Fig. 2 to 4 pair of first embodiment.

Shown in for example Fig. 2 and 3, be provided for admitting the cross-country boot 21 of user foot.

Known ground, footwear 21 comprise outsole 22 and upper of a shoe 23.Footwear 21 extend up to leading section or toe-cap 25 from rearward end or heel 24 on length, are extending between the outside 26 and inboard 27 on the width and are in height extending up to the upper end 28 from sole 22.

As shown in the figure, upper of a shoe 23 comprises lower part 31, this lower part is set is used to wrap up foot 32, and upper of a shoe also comprises high part 33, this high part is set to center on ankle 34.Lower part 31 especially comprises exterior lateral area 36, heel 24 and the medial region 37 that all centers on user foot 32.Certainly, zone 36,37 and heel 24 pass through variety of way with sole 22, are connected mutually as bonding.Footwear 21 also comprise cladding 38.First embodiment of the invention, described just cladding 38 constitutes high part 33, and therefore around ankle 34.Herein, cladding 38 forms the body that centers on ankle.Correspondingly, cladding 38 defines the upper end 28 of footwear.

Also zone 36,37 and heel 24 extend vis-a-vis for non-limiting ground, cladding 38.This means that cladding 38 extends in lower part 31 and high part 33 places simultaneously.

Cladding 38 be provided with in order to directly with foot and contacted footwear 21 parts of ankle.Cladding 38 thereby in by zone 36,37 and the enclosure that forms of heel 24, extend.This brings the user with comfort.

Cladding 38 is flexible, and non-limiting ground, is flexible.This means, can relax, so that cladding is returned to its original shape naturally when effect stops by the external action cladding.Therefore, cladding 38 is configured to apply the maintenance power around ankle 34.Therefore, cladding is made up of extensile and more flexible piece of cloth.Certainly, can consider that all piece of cloth all are flexible, or as selection, the only part of piece of cloth is flexible.Under all scenario, the effect of acquisition is that the protection foreign matter is invaded in the footwear when footwear are worn by the user.

In order suitably to keep heel, footwear to comprise back support component 41.This element 41 itself comprises

ribbon

42, and 26 extend up to inboard 27 from the outside on the top that ribbon 42 is walked around heel 24.Herein, ribbon 42 stretches along cladding 38.Thereby we can say that ribbon 42 winds round cladding.Ribbon 42 for example is made of textile fabric, and it is soft but not extensible that textile fabric is arranged to make ribbon.

As shown on Fig. 2, ribbon 42 comprises that the outside that ribbon is linked to each other with exterior lateral area 36 links end 43.As for well known to a person skilled in the art, end 43 and zone 36 link to each other in adjustable mode, for example have by one and encircle and another has the cooperatively interacting of two flexiplast parts of hook.More widely, we can say that an end of ribbon 42 links to each other in adjustable mode with a zone of footwear.

For identical theory, as shown in Figure 3, ribbon 42 comprises that the inboard that ribbon is linked to each other with medial region 37 links end 47.Here, end 47 links to each other in a fixed manner with zone 37, for example by sewing up or the various mode that is equal to.

Can observe, above heel 24, ribbon 42 is compared from sole 22 farther with its end 43,47.Therefore ribbon 42 and sole 22 angulations make ribbon 42 stop the lifting of heel 32.In other words, ribbon 42 remains on heel in the footwear.Ribbon 42 is necessary, because the flexibility of cladding 38 makes cladding not keep heel.

Footwear 21 also comprise gripping member 48, and gripping member is in

rearward end side

24, and 28 places are connected mutually with cladding 38 in the upper end.Described gripping member 48 is implemented with the form of ring here, and ring is formed and is seamed on the cladding by band.Certainly, another structure can be set form member 48, for example the handle of rigidity.The advantage that ring has is flexible, volume is little, be easy to make.It is used for when wearing footwear, and court is away from the rear portion of the direction tractive cladding 38 of sole 22.

According to the present invention, as understandable by means of Fig. 2 to 4, footwear 21 comprise not extensible intensive aspect 50, and intensive aspect links to each other rearward end 24 with gripping member 48.This allow to make, when applying tractive by arrow A 1 on gripping member 48, makes cladding 38 tensions in the cladding branch that is contained between rearward end 24 and the gripping member 48.Self-explantory is that tractive is tending towards making member 48 away from sole 22.This tractive side by side is applied in entering in the footwear along the foot of arrow A 2.The tension of the part of cladding 38 allows cladding that heel is guided in the footwear.In other words, when wearing footwear, heel can not run into obstacle.

First embodiment of the invention, non-limiting ground, intensive aspect 50 comprise distributes tongue-like pieces 51.Tongue-like pieces is used to distribute and is applied to the pressure on heel top by ribbon 42 through cladding 38.

Tongue-like pieces 51 is extended up to high end 53 from end portion 52 on short transverse.Certainly end portion 52 is positioned at heel 24 places, keeps away with sole 22.End portion 52 is connected as sewing up mutually by variety of way with heel 24.As for high end 53, it is between the upper end 28 of the end portion 52 of tongue-like pieces 51 and footwear.We can say that distribution tongue-like pieces 51 is positioned at the rear portion of footwear, above heel 24.Tongue-like pieces 51 is plugged between ribbon 42 and the cladding 38 certainly.Tongue-like pieces 51 for example is made of plastic material.

Tongue-like pieces 51 is avris 55 in outer avris 54 laterally extends to.Between avris 54,55, tongue-like pieces 51 defines the contact-making surface 56 that is spill.This contact-making surface 56 is supported on the cladding 38.With contact-making surface 56 relatively, tongue-like pieces 51 defines the scope of freedom 57 that is convex.Can notice that the scope of freedom 57 has the guide 58 of the ribbon 42 that is used for back support component 41.This remains on ribbon 42 in its normal place.

First embodiment of the invention still, non-limiting ground, intensive aspect 50 comprise extensible softly is not with 61.Be with 61 to comprise mid portion or belt body 62, mid portion or belt body are longitudinally defined by end portion 63 and high end 64.End portion 63 is connected mutually with distributing tongue-like pieces 51, for example by sewing up 65.For identical theory, at 28 places, upper end of footwear 21 or near this upper end 28, high end 64 is connected mutually with cladding 38, for example by sewing up 66.Between the portion of sewing up 65,66, belt body 62 is relative with cladding 38, but is not fixed on the cladding.In other words, herein, belt body 62 is freely.Lacking of connection between belt body 62 and the cladding 38 gives cladding with the distortion free degree, and this allows cladding to apply around the even maintenance of ankle or user's shank bottom.

Still according to first embodiment, and non-limiting ground, that forms the band of gripping member 48 and intensive aspect 50 is with 61 to prolong mutually.In other words, single band forms the part of intensive aspect 50 and forms ring or gripping member 48.Can notice, sew up 66 and will be fixed on cladding 38 with 61 high end 64 and ring 48 simultaneously.This simplifies the structure of footwear.

The end portion 63 of frenulum 61 is connected mutually with the high end 53 of distributing tongue-like pieces 51, and as can be seen, tongue-like pieces 51 is connected with heel 24 mutually by its end portion 52.The location of the retention feature of tongue-like pieces 51 on the

end

52,53 of tongue-like pieces makes: the tractive along arrow A 1 directly is delivered to heel, promptly actuates tongue-like pieces 51 without any moment and is orientated on the direction except that arrow A 1 direction to make it to be out of shape or to make it.Therefore when wearing footwear, be more accurate to the guiding of heel.In fact, gripping member 48, with 61 with distribute uniting of tongue-like pieces 51 to form the shoehorn that is integrated in the footwear 21.This shoehorn is arranged in order to effectiveness to take place when wearing footwear and be imperceptible fully when using footwear.

Show by means of Fig. 5 and 6 pairs of second embodiments of the present invention now.Represent by same figure notation with the first embodiment components identical.

Can see sole 22, upper of a shoe 23, heel 24 and its exterior lateral area 36 and the medial region 37 of footwear 21 and these footwear especially.Footwear 21 also comprise lower part 31 and high part 33 and the cladding 38 that defines upper end 28.Footwear 21 also comprise back support component 41 and gripping member 48 and the intensive aspect 80 with ribbon 42.Intensive aspect 80 comprises tongue-like pieces 51.

The special feature of second embodiment is that intensive aspect 80 comprises tie rod 81 just, and tie rod will distribute tongue-like pieces 51 with gripping member or encircle 48 and link to each other.Tie rod 81 is hard parts, for example makes by plastic material, metal or various suitable material.Here, distribute tongue-like pieces 51 and tie rod 81 to form an one-piece parts of implementing with plastic material.

Certainly, this part and heel 24, link to each other at end portion 52 places of the part that forms tongue-like pieces 51 as sewing up by various suitable manner.According to identical mode, this part for example sews up 66 by various suitable manner, and 64 places, high end in the part that forms tie rod 81 link to each other with cladding 38.Therefore, the described vis-a-vis part of cladding 38 promptly vis-a-vis tongue-like pieces 51 and tie rod 81 branch of extending be tightened up enduringly.Can observe as a supplement, gripping member 48 is made of ring, and promptly this ring is to be made of band here, and it sews up the high end 64 that the parts shown in 66 forms are affixed to cladding 38 and tie rod 81 by being.

According to second embodiment, the making of footwear 21 is more fast, because no longer need tie rod 81 is linked to each other with tongue-like pieces 51.

Under all scenario, the present invention is not limited to aforesaid embodiment, and comprises all technical equivalents schemes that can enter ensuing claim scope.

Therefore, a lot of structures can be set and be used to realize intensive aspect, gripping member or back support component.

For example ribbon 42 is segmented into two branches, and each branch links to each other a side of footwear with distributing tongue-like pieces or branch pressing plate.

As for not extensible
