DE202006002533U1 - Attachment for sole of ski boot, designed in curved shape and used for walking short distances - Google Patents

Abstract

The specific design of a ski boot does not allow a normal walking motion of foot and leg. The walk even across the short distance between the carpark and the ski lift can be painful. An attachment with a curved lower surface (1) clipped to the boot with suitable fasteners (2,3,4) helps to avoid this uncomfortable situation. The attachment can be either be added to an existing boot or already integrated in the sole and inflated or filled with a gel (5) temporarily when needed.

Description

Ski boots more usual Type have a smooth solid sole area of no unrolling as with normal footwear allows. It is a torture, the long way from the parking lot to the gondola with the chunky ski boots to cover.

The Walker for Ski boots gives the ski boot a curved rolling surface either more conventional on ski shoes Construction subsequently mounted or integrated in the manufacture of the ski boot. Across from the ski boot usual Design allows the arched one Rolling surface comfortable walking in the parking lot.

Curved rolling surface

The rolling surface is arched and is located between the front and rear ski boot attachment parts. This rolling surface allows the unwinding of the ski boot when running on a flat surface.

The rolling surface has a sufficient width for optimum stability guarantee at.

The rolling surface has a non-slip surface which is ensured by the material selection and structure.

The rolling surface consists of dimensionally stable materials or a device which the vault first if necessary, e.g. by a cocking lever or by filling a preformed cavity with air or a liquid.

Front ski boot attachment part

The Front ski boot attachment part realizes the connection of rolling surface to the front part of the ski boot. The shape and material selection depends on from the embodiment the walker for Ski boots.

Rear ski boot attachment part

The rear ski boot attachment part realizes the connection of rolling surface to the back of the ski boot. The shape and material selection depends on from the embodiment the walker for Ski boots.

Aids for fastening on the ski boot

at retrofitting on conventional ski boots are for attaching the shoe attachment parts brackets or screws intended.

Aid for realization the arched one rolling surface

at the integration of the walker for Ski boots for new developments of ski boots can be the realization the arched one tread also by a clamping lever or the filling of preformed cavities with Air or liquid respectively.

Embodiments of walking aid for ski boots

The Shaping is different according to the different application areas as a retrofit the walker on conventional Ski boots or newly developed ski boots with integrated Walker for Ski boots.

Fixed retrofit usual ski boots

conventional There are ski boots in very different embodiments in the smooth area of the sole. The attachment of the walker for ski boots takes place at existing fastening possibilities, e.g. Screw connections.

at usual Footwear with clearance in the middle region of the longitudinal axis a narrow version of the domed drainage area realized in the middle area.

at usual Ski boots with no clearance in the middle area of the longitudinal axis become two arched Webs realized on both sides of the sole as a convex drainage surface.

Flexible retrofitting usual ski boots

The flexible retrofitting is done with braces at the front and rear ski boot area.

Integration of the walker for ski boots in the new development of ski boots

In the nine evolution of footwear The walking aid for ski boots can be integrated into the functional design of the ski boot.

there is also a variant for the realization of the arched tread by a clamping lever or the filling of preformed cavities with Air or liquid possible.
