Definitions

  • This invention relatesto an actuator device for an instep presser, particularly useful in rear entrance ski boots.
  • a presser is provided on the boot shell interior which is operated to exert a desired locking pressure on the instep region.
  • US-A-41 60 332 proposes to use a cable acting on the pressure element to squeeze it against the user's foot, which cable is controlled, i.e. placed under tension, through a pivotal movement of the boot rear quarter which acts in practice as a lever element to apply a pulling force on the cable.
  • the mechanism includes a pinion gear and gear wheel drive effective to greatly reduce the effort required to apply a desired tension.
  • the latter embodiment has the advantage of favoring an improved utilization of the device by its user, since pressure can be adjusted with the boot on and closed but involves, on the other hand, a more complex construction and the need for assembling a large number of component parts.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide such an actuator device which affords the ability to continuously adjust the pressure to be exerted by the presser by operating the presser with the boot in the worn condition.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a device for actuating the foot instep presser which, owing to its peculiar construction, can afford an increased degree of reliability and be safe to use.
  • an actuator device for an instep presser particularly useful in rear entrance ski boots, comprising a cable extending above a presser located inside the boot shell at the foot instep region and being attached with one end to a side point on the. shell and with the other end to an actuator element, characterized in that said actuator element includes a reel made rotatively rigid with a knob carried; for rotational and axial movements, on a fixed body associated with said shell, and that means are provided for releasably preventing rotation of said knob including front tooth formations, respectively providing on said fixed body and said knob.
  • an actuator device for an instep presser particularly useful in rear entrance ski boots, according to the invention, comprises a cable 1 running inside a flexible sheath 2.
  • the cable 1 is attached with one end, indicated at 3, to a side location within the boot shell 4 and runs above a foot instep presser, indicated at 5.
  • the sheath 2 is connected, at its remote end from the fixed point 3, to a guide block 6 mounted on the inner side surface of the boot, at the opposed side to the fixed point 3.
  • the cable 1 is connected, at its other end, to a reel 10, and specifically to the pulley portion 11 of the reel 10 which is accommodated rotatably inside a fixed body 15 attached to the rear portion of the boot shell 4 and provided with a yoke 16 which is coupled to a small bushing 17 located at the end of the sheath 2 to guide the cable 1 as it is wound or unwound from the pulley portion 11 of the reel 10.
  • the reel 10 has an axial tang 12 which extends inside a bushing portion 18 defined axially within the fixed body 15.
  • the reel 10 is made rotatively rigid with a knob 20 which is carried on the fixed body 15 for rotation and axial translation.
  • the knob 20 has an outer cylindrical body handgrip 21 connected to an inner cylindrical _body 22 which may be positioned around the bushing portion 18.
  • the fixed body 15 has at the bottom of the bushing portion 18 a first front tooth formation 30 of sawtooth configuration which engages with a second front tooth formation 31 defined on the inner cylindrical body 22.
  • elastic means comprising a spring 40 acting between the cover 25 and inner bottom 27 which joins the outer cylindrical body 21 and inner cylindrical body 22 together and holds the second tooth formation elastically pressed against the first front tooth formation 30, thus preventing the knob 20, and hence the reel 10, from turning.
  • the knob should be shifted axially to disengage the tooth formations 30 and 31 and turned in the opposite direction.
  • a peg 50 which functions as a rotation end stop in cooperation with a corresponding fixed detent defined on the shell to allow the knob to rotate axially at most through an angle of 360 degrees.
  • the invention achieves its objects, and in particular, the fact should be emphasized that by connecting the cable 1 to the knob 20, with the interposition of the reel 10, the structure can be considerably simplified, without using additional gearing or similar, alternative arrangements, while rotation in the cable slackening direction can be effectively inhibited by mutual engagement of the front tooth formations 30 and 31.
  • the user is enabled to adjust as desired through a wide range, the pressure to be applied by the presser 5, without becoming involved in complex or laborious operations, since disengagement of the knob from the fixed body 15 can be simply achieved through an axial movement that sets the front tooth formations 30 and 31 free.
  • any suitable dimensions, contingent shapes or materials may be used to meet individual requirements, though the best results have been obtained using plastic materials.
