Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ski boot with a lower shell made of plastic and a shaft part or a cuff which can be pivoted relative to the lower shell, the end part of which faces the tip of the boot when pivoting to the tip of the shoe on the lower shell.
  • the invention now aims, based on such a design, to improve the damping behavior with a template adjustment and at the same time to ensure better tightness of the shoe at the transition point between the lower shell and the upper.
  • the invention consists essentially in the fact that in the outside of the end part of the shaft or the cuff there is at least one recess or groove running transversely to the pivoting direction, the groove base of which is of full-walled design or at least one web which connects the two to one another connects facing side walls of the groove, and that rubber-elastic and possibly rigid parts can be inserted in the recess or groove.
  • the recess or groove now offers in a simple way the possibility of arranging an insert made of rubber-elastic material, this insert now no longer having to be glued in contrast to the known designs, but can be secured in a much simpler manner against escaping. While when a slot is arranged in the end part of the shaft or the sleeve, the choice of the elastomeric material is substantially limited and, moreover, there is a risk that the damping elements inserted into such a slot will pass through the slot, it is possible to form the receptacle for the insert as a recess with at least one web or groove in the top of the end part of the shaft or sleeve, the rubber-elastic material is now inserted under tension into the groove or recess so that it is held in the groove due to its elastic properties.
  • An insert inserted into the groove with at least groove bases consisting of webs can also be of rigid or metallic design without this leading to a deformation of the front part of the sleeve, which can influence the kinematics of the damping and it is due to the design according to the invention
  • the groove with a groove base consisting at least of webs creates the possibility of merely adjusting the rigidity without the stroke travel being impaired up to the limit of the original.
  • the lower end of the cuff forms a defined rigid and rigid leading edge and can fit tightly to the shell in the manner of a belt.
  • the webs or the full groove base ensure that, despite the possibility, the front edge of the cuff is also taken back when pivoting back and that the damping elements remain in their position in any pivot position.
  • the recess or groove is pressed together after the front edge of the shaft or sleeve has run onto the lower shell, the walls lying opposite one another being pivoted into a position to be converged towards the outside.
  • the insert made of rubber-elastic material can be held in a form-fitting manner in the recess or groove, so that the need for gluing is eliminated.
  • Adhesives adversely affect the elastic damping behavior and, in the case of elastic inserts, are generally not excessively durable and, in particular in the case of large temperature fluctuations, are in no way to be regarded as reliable protection against loss.
  • the design according to the invention makes it possible to dispense with such adhesives without increasing the risk of losing the insert made of rubber-elastic material.
  • Dispensing with adhesive also enables the rubber-elastic insert to be easily exchangeable, and in order to ensure a secure hold in the groove or the recess, the insert can advantageously be held in the recess or groove in the longitudinal direction of the same acting tensile stress.
  • the rubber-elastic insert can be anchored in the recess or the groove in a simple manner so that the groove has a central rib extending over part of the length of the recess or groove, which is encompassed by an elongated recess in the rubber-elastic insert. This results in two parallel areas with elastic damping.
  • the design can also be made in a simple manner so that the recess or groove is widened in its lateral edge regions and / or has elevations or depressions which interact with a corresponding counter profile of the insert. In both cases it can rubber-elastic element can be easily lifted out of the bottom of the groove in order to be exchanged for a rubber-elastic element with different damping properties. Due to the elastic prestress in the longitudinal direction of the rubber-elastic element, there is no fear of inadvertent emergence in the position inserted into the recess or groove.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a shoe with a first embodiment of a rubber-elastic insert in the shaft area
  • FIG. 2 shows a modified design in a representation similar to FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 shows the rubber-elastic element required for the representation according to FIG Groove for receiving this element
  • FIG. 4 shows an enlarged side view of the shoe with inserted element in a relaxed state and FIG. 5 in a compressed state
  • FIG. 6 shows a modified embodiment of the rubber-elastic element for the design according to FIG. 2 together with the associated groove
  • 7 shows a further modified embodiment of a rubber-elastic element together with the associated groove
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a shoe with a first embodiment of a rubber-elastic insert in the shaft area
  • FIG. 2 shows a modified design in a representation similar to FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 shows the rubber-elastic element required for the representation according to FIG Groove for receiving this element
  • FIG. 4 shows an enlarged side view of the shoe
  • FIG. 8 shows a further modified embodiment of the rubber-elastic element together with a part of the associated groove
  • FIG. 9 shows a modified embodiment of the insert, which is constructed in several parts and comprises rigid elements
  • Fig. 10 shows a further modification to a training similar to de 9
  • FIG. 11 is a side view of a further modified embodiment
  • FIG. 12 is a perspective view of an embodiment with a stiff part of the insert that can be hung.
  • a ski boot 1 is shown, on the lower shell 2, a shaft 3 is pivoted about a pivot axis 4 extending substantially parallel to the sole plane.
  • the lower end region 5 of the shaft part 3 has an in On the circumferential direction extending rubber-elastic element, which is described in more detail in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5.
  • the rubber-elastic element accommodated in the front end region 5 of the sleeve is designed in accordance with the illustration according to FIG. 6 and is described in detail below in FIG. 6.
  • a rubber-elastic element 6 is shown, which is inserted into a groove 7 in the end region 5 of a sleeve part.
  • the groove has a central rib 8, which is encompassed by a slot 9 in the insert 6 made of rubber-elastic material.
  • the insert 6 made of rubber-elastic material is inserted into the groove 7 under tension in the sense of the double arrow 10 and engages around the rib 8.
  • the inner walls 11 of the groove 7 are essentially parallel to one another and therefore form an angle of 90 90 ° with the base of the groove.
  • a compression as shown in Fig. 5 and occurs when the shaft part 3 is pivoted towards the tip of the foot, the inside of the cuff comes up against the lower shell 2 and there is a deformation of the groove in such a way that the walls 11 now converge to the outside at a more or less acute angle 0 6. Because of this convergence of the walls 11, the elastomeric insert is prevented from unintentionally coming out of the groove when the elastic element 6 is subjected to mechanical stress.
  • the insert 6 which is intended for use in a shoe according to FIG. 2, the insert 6 is made of rubber-elastic material with widened lateral heads 12 which can be inserted into a correspondingly widened recess 13 of the groove 7. Also here the insert 6 made of rubber-elastic material under elastic prestress in the circumferential direction, ie in the sense of the double arrow 14, can be inserted into the groove 7, so that a force component acting towards the groove base is achieved after insertion.
  • the side walls 11 of the groove 7 are again designed analogously to that described in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5.
  • the widened head 12 of the insert 6 made of rubber-elastic material additionally has a recess 15 which can be pushed over a pin 16 in the base of the widened region 13 of the groove 7.
  • the end of the insert 6 has an essentially cylindrically shaped hook-shaped end part 17 which can be pressed into a corresponding recess 18 in the base of the groove 7. All of these designs increase the security against inadvertent escape of the rubber-elastic element from the groove, without the need for gluing.
  • FIG. 9 shows a rubber-elastic insert 19 which has a slot 20 in its central region.
  • a slide made of rigid material, for example made of plastic or metal, is displaceably guided, the outside of which is designated by 21.
  • the slide engages with a central web 22 through the slot in the insert and is supported with a foot part 23 at the base of the groove.
  • the slider 21 consists of a part encompassing an elastic insert, which, for fixing its position, can engage, for example, in transverse ribs 24 on the underside of the elastic insert 19.
  • Such rigid elements can be fixed to a flexible insert, as shown in FIG. 11, for example by an eccentric lever 25.
  • the eccentric lever is actuated hiebei an eccentrically mounted nose 26 which is squeezed on the outside of the rubber-elastic insert 19.
  • the setting can also be made by hanging, as shown in FIG. 12.
  • the elastic insert part is formed with knobs 27, which can be passed through an opening 28 of a rigid, displaceable part for fixing the position.
