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 via a deflection point on the hinged rear part to the outside of this 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 deflection point for tension members is usually arranged near the outer contour of the hinged rear part and in known devices the tension member is guided through the shell at the deflection point and deflected to the outside of the hinged rear part.
  • a device of the type mentioned at the outset can be found, for example, in EP-A-53 340, in which the deflection points can be formed, for example, by pipes embedded in the material of the shell.
  • the Tension members designed as steel cables and articulately engage a tongue part that overlaps the shell part on the front in the manner of a saddle.
  • 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 liner inside the shell without one-sided pull towards the heel.
  • the device according to the invention is thus 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 initiate 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 design according to the invention essentially consists in the fact that the tension member in the heel or Achilles tendon area in the region and within the hinged rear part can be connected to an elastically deformable or swiveling shell part directed upwards from the sole, the height of which is less than the height of the hinged rear part, and is guided over a deflection point in the heel or ankle area, and that a tension member is connected to the tension member 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 is.
  • the tensioning device can be both in the most favorable manner desired Fix in the instep area as well as in the shaft area on the front or on the back of the shoe.
  • the point of application of the tendon between the deflection point of the tension member and the instep also results in a division of the force application, in which a translation of the tensioning path takes place, so that with a relatively small tensioning path a correspondingly predetermined distribution of the force application into the rear and front area of the shoe can be achieved, with large tensioning of the tension members can be achieved inside the shoe with a small span of the tensioning device.
  • the tension member is fixed in the rear area within the hinged rear part, the clamping forces are effective here regardless of the pivoting position of the hinged rear part.
  • the tension member in the region of the hinged rear part can be connected to an elastically deformable or pivotable shell part which runs downward towards the sole, the height of which is less than the height of the hinged rear part, this elastically deformable or pivotable shell part can overlap the heel region and in this way the Improve heel hold 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, in contrast to the known constructions.
  • the tension members can be guided over a plurality of deflection points, whereby the direction of the force application and the force application into the interior of the shoe can be precisely specified.
  • the tendon as it corresponds to a preferred embodiment of the invention, 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 evenly distributed on the run of the tension member that runs to the instep and to the rear side is distributed.
  • the arrangement is such that the tension member, 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 portion and with a tensioning device, in particular a tensioning buckle, to the longitudinal direction of the shoe transverse pivot axis is connected to the outside of the hinged rear part.
  • a tensioning device in particular a tensioning 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 counterpressure from the back to the front is adjustable. In this way it is ensured that the instep plate does not only result in a shift of the foot or inner shoe to the rear, but that such a shift counteracts a corresponding supporting force in the opposite direction.
  • the tension member can be designed as a self-contained rope, as a result of which a particularly simple attachment of the tension member can also be achieved on the elastically deformable or pivotable shell part in the rear region of the shoe.
  • the design can advantageously be such that a plurality of connection points arranged at different heights to the sole, in particular hooks or eyelets, are provided for the tension member in the rear area of the shoe, the deformation or pivoting of the tension member being at different heights elastically deformable rear part is different in size with the same adjustment path of the tension member.
  • stops can be provided between the deflection point and the anchor point in the rear area to limit the adjustment path, wherein a Bowden cable can be used here with advantage.
  • a Bowden cable can be used here with advantage.
  • the deflection point of the tension members in the heel area can advantageously be designed as a roller, wherein the roller can 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 is deflected in the instep area about axes crossing the sole plane below the shell.
  • the tension member is advantageously crossed in the instep area to ensure an even distribution of force on insoles or instep plates.
  • the design can additionally be such that at least one crossing point of the tension member in the instep area, preferably the crossing point adjacent to the shoe tip, is connected to a hook or an eyelet which can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the shoe and in the selected position is definable.
  • the adjustability can be ensured in a simple manner that the or the crossing point in the instep area relocating hook or eye is connected to an actuator, in particular a rack, a tension member or a push rod, which is connected to an actuator, in particular a pinion or a buckle that works together on the outside of the shell.
  • Pressure distribution element in the instep area is formed as an overlapping flap, the tension member acting in the instep area on the instep area overlapping flap, which flaps connect to the side edge of the sole and overlap one another in the instep area, and in addition it is preferably provided that the tension member with its free ends on both sides the longitudinal median plane of the shoe is fixed to the overlapping tabs in the instep area. In this way it is ensured that no uncomfortable pressure points occur in the lateral areas of the inner shoe or foot and that the forefoot area is held securely by forces which act essentially normally on 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 and
  • FIG. 2 shows a view of the foldable rear part of the ski boot according to FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 shows a section along line III-III of FIG. 1.
  • 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 tabs 5, 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 tension element 11 formed by steel or plastic ropes, which is guided over a component 12 with the deflection points and in the rear area on an elastically deformable upwardly directed shell part 13 is definable.
  • the tension member 11 can be fixed to 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
  • the tension member is 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 acts with 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.
  • 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 Place of fixing the tension member 11 on the rear elastically deformable or pivotable shell part 13 extends.
  • a predetermined tensioning path of the tendon 17 results in a correspondingly increased adjustment path of the tension members 11.
  • the tension member 11 is guided in the area of the instep area via the instep plate 7 and the area of the flaps 6 in such a way that both the instep plate 7 and the overlapping one Area is overlapped, for which purpose, for example, deflection points 18 are provided for the tension member 11 in the instep area at the tabs.
