Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for fixing a foot or inner shoe in a ski or mountain shoe with tension members which extend from the instep to a foldable rear part of the shoe via a deflection point and are adjustable via a tension member.
  • a plate located in the instep area is usually fixed using a cable which is guided to the outside of this rear part via a deflection point on the hinged rear part, a tensioning buckle with a pivot axis oriented essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the shoe being used.
  • the foot is essentially improved in the shoe by pulling the heel backwards in the shoe, the tensioning force being brought to bear on the instep plate.
  • a more or less large force is also introduced into the hinged rear panel.
  • the invention now aims to provide a device of the type mentioned, in which largely independent of the position of the shaft relative to the shell, a definable clamping force can be introduced into a tension member inside the shoe, which fixes the foot or inner shoe inside the shell without any one-sided pull towards the heel.
  • the device according to the invention is intended to stabilize and fix the inner shoe or foot in a manner in which the ankle area of a foot is held in a desired position without merely pressing the heel backwards with the tensioning force.
  • the invention aims to introduce the clamping force required for the fixing in a manner which, even when the shaft part is pivoted relative to the shell, results in only slight fluctuations in tensile force and in which large adjustment paths are made possible with a comparatively small clamping path.
  • the training according to the invention essentially consists in that the tension member (s) can be fixed in the heel or Achilles tendon area within the hinged rear part and is (are) guided over a deflection point in the heel or ankle area, and that a tension member is connected to the tension member or members at the deflection point or between the deflection point in the heel or ankle area and the instep, which is connected to a tensioning device on the outside of the shoe shell.
  • the tensioning device can be fixed in the most favorable desired manner both in the instep area and in the shaft area on the front or on the back of the shoe.
  • the point of attack of the tendon between the deflection point of the tension member or the tension members and the instep also results in a division of the force application, in which the tensioning path is translated so that with a relatively small tensioning path a correspondingly predetermined distribution of the force application in the rear and the front area of the shoe can be achieved, with large adjustment paths of the tension members in the interior of the shoe being achieved with a small tensioning path of the tensioning device.
  • the tensioning forces are effective here regardless of the pivoting position of the hinged rear part.
  • the tension members can be guided over a plurality of deflection points, as a result of which the direction of the application of force and the introduction of force into the interior of the shoe can be specified precisely.
  • the tensioning element can be connected to a movable second deflection point, in particular a deflection roller or an eyelet, in order to ensure that the tensioning force of the tensioning device is uniform on the side that runs to the instep and that to the rear side running strand of the tension member is distributed.
  • the arrangement is such that the tension member (s), starting from the rear area, is guided over the side of the deflection point facing the shoe tip and that the tension member passes through the hinged rear part and with a tensioning device , in particular a tension buckle, with a swivel axis running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the shoe the outside of the hinged rear part is connected.
  • a tensioning device in particular a tension buckle
  • the guidance of the tension member via a deflection point to a location within the hinged rear part enables the heel part or the ankle area to be gripped accordingly, so that when the tension member is tensioned and thus a tension is exerted on an instep plate, a corresponding counter pressure from the rear towards the back is adjustable at the front.
  • the design for this purpose can be such that the tension member in the region of the hinged rear part can be connected to an elastically deformable or pivotable shell part that runs downward toward the sole, the height of which is less than the height of the hinged rear part, which is elastic deformable or swiveling shell part can overlap the heel area and in this way improves the hold of the heel on the sole.
  • the elastically deformable or swiveling shell part not only counteracts a shift of the heel backwards, but also improves the fit of the heel on the sole.
  • the tension member can be designed as a self-contained rope, whereby a particularly simple attachment of the tension member can also be achieved on the elastically deformable or pivotable shell part in the rear area of the shoe.
  • the design can advantageously be such that a plurality of connection points, in particular hooks or eyelets, arranged at different heights to the sole are provided for the tension member in the rear area of the shoe, the deformation or waving at different heights of the point of application of the tension member. kung the elastically deformable rear part with the same Adjustment path of the tension member is different in size.
  • a Bowden cable can advantageously be used here.
  • a further possibility of increasing the wearing comfort arises if the deflection point in the heel region is limited relative to the shell, in particular is arranged displaceably in the shoe longitudinal direction, while overcoming a spring force, a fixed location of the deflection point being desirable for defined forces .
  • the deflection point of the tension members in the heel area can advantageously be designed as a roller, the roller being able to have a circumferential groove which is lined to increase friction, in particular a profile, and the rotational movement of the roller can be braked and / or locked.
  • the arrangement is advantageously made such that the tension member in the instep area is deflected below the shell about axes crossing the sole plane.
  • the tension member (s) are advantageously crossed in the instep area in order to ensure a uniform force distribution on inserts or instep plates.
  • the design can additionally be such that at least one crossing point of the tension member or the tension members in the instep area, preferably the crossing point adjacent to the tip of the shoe, is connected to a hook or an eyelet, which is shiftable in the longitudinal direction of the shoe and can be fixed in the selected position.
  • the adjustability can be ensured in a simple manner by the fact that the Crossing point in the instep area shifting hook or eye is connected to an actuator, in particular a rack, a tension member or a push rod, which interacts with an actuator, in particular a pinion or a buckle, on the outside of the shell.
  • the pressure distribution element in the instep area is advantageously designed as an overlapping flap, with the tension member (s) acting on the instep area overlapping flaps, which flaps on the side edge connect the sole and overlap each other in the instep area, and in addition it is preferably provided that the traction member (s) is (are) fixed with their free ends on both sides of the longitudinal median plane of the shoe to the overlapping tabs in the instep area.
  • the pressure distribution overlapping or overlapping flaps equalizes the tensile forces of the tension members and ensures a more favorable distribution of these forces in the instep area.
  • the design is such that a height-adjustable pressure member is mounted near or at the crossing point which can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the shoe and which cooperates with one of the tabs in the overlap area.
  • a height-adjustable pressure member is mounted near or at the crossing point which can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the shoe and which cooperates with one of the tabs in the overlap area.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of the device according to the invention in a ski boot
  • FIG. 2 shows a view of the foldable rear part of the ski boot according to FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 shows a section along the line III-III of FIG.
  • a ski boot 1 which has a foldable rear part 2 and a shell 3, which overlaps the forefoot area or instep area.
  • an inner boot is indicated schematically by 4.
  • webs 5 are connected to the inner shoe or foot in the instep area by flaps 6, an instep plate 7 being additionally provided.
  • a sleeve 9 is provided which is articulated on the shell 3 so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis 10. The same pivot axis 10 can also be used for pivoting the hinged rear part 2.
  • the foldable rear part 2 is tensioned against the cuff 9 by means of a conventional tensioning buckle with a strap.
  • a traction element 11 Arranged in the interior of the shoe and when using an inner shoe between the shell 3 and the inner shoe 4 is a traction element 11 formed by steel or plastic ropes, which is guided over a component 12 with the deflection points and in the rear region on an elastically deformable upward-facing part Shell part 13 can be fixed.
  • the tension member 11 can be fixed on the elastically deformable or pivotable shell part 13 at three different locations designated by 14.
  • the component 12, which carries the deflection points for the tension member 11, can either have rollers for the deflection or can carry curved guides corresponding to the desired deflection.
  • a tensioning device indicated schematically by 15, is fixed on the tension member, it can be folded down Rear part 2, starting from the pivotable or deformable rear part 13, first guided over the component carrying the deflection point and deflected in the direction of the hinged rear part, at which point after the deflection of the tension member 11 a roller 16 engages the tension member 11, which is connected to a tension member 17 connected is.
  • the tensioning member 17 is guided to the tensioning device indicated by 15, which can be designed as a simple tensioning buckle.
  • the tensioning member passes through the shell or the hinged rear part 2 and due to the arrangement of the deflection points in the component 12, the tensioning forces of the tensioning device 15 are introduced, which both the strand of the tension member directed towards the pivotable or elastically deformable rear part 13 and also the strand of the tension member directed towards the instep plate 7 is detected.
  • this rear-running strand can be designed as a Bowden cable which is located between the component 12 with the deflection guides and the Articulation point or location of the tension member 11 on the rear elastically deformable or pivotable shell part 13 extends.
