Abstract

Between the shaft (14) and the inner boot (20) of a ski boot (10), two holding elements (22, 24) are arranged, which cover the instep in the manner of a saddle, overlapping in the region (32). On each holding element (22, 24), there engages a pull member (50, 50'), which extends in each case over the other holding element (24, 22) and is guided via a deflection (54) to the rotary closure (56). The pull members (50, 50') can be wound up in the rotary closure (56) so that the inner boot (20) is pressed painlessly and snugly against the foot in the region of the holding elements (22, 24). The front end regions (30, 30') of the holding elements (22, 24) are mounted on the guide element (44) freely slidably in the longitudinal direction (A) of the ski boot (10) and transversely thereto. By means of the adjustment member (46), the distance of the holding elements (22, 24) from the shaft (14) can be adjusted in arrow direction (B). <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Sportschuh, insbesondere einen Skischuh, gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a sports shoe, in particular a ski shoe, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus dem DE-U-87 02 920 ist ein solcher Skischuh bekannt, bei dem zwischen dem Schaft und dem Innenschuh zwei, sich im Ristbereich überlappende Halteelemente angeordnet sind. Die Halteelemente überdecken den Ristbereich sattelförmig und sind im Bereich des Sprunggelenkes am Schaft um eine Achse quer zur Schuhlängsrichtung und parallel zur Sohle schwenkbar gelagert. Die Spannanordnung weist einen doppeltwirkenden Bowdenzug auf, dessen Mantel und Zuglitze mit je einem Halteelement im Ristbereich in Wirkverbindung steht. Auf den Bowdenzug wirkt ein Schwenkhebel ein, bei dessen Betätigung die beiden Halteelemente quer zur Schuhlängsrichtung im Ristbereich gegeneinander verschoben werden. Bei diesem bekannten Skischuh ist die Anpassung der Halteelemente an die Ristkontur in Längs-, Quer- und Höhenrichtung nur im beschränkten Masse möglich. Ein sattes Anschmiegen der Halteelemente an den Innenschuh besonders im Bereich unter dem Sprunggelenk ist nicht möglich.Such a ski boot is known from DE-U-87 02 920, in which two holding elements, which overlap in the instep area, are arranged between the shaft and the inner boot. The holding elements cover the instep area in the shape of a saddle and are mounted in the area of the ankle on the shaft about an axis transverse to the longitudinal direction of the shoe and parallel to the sole. The tensioning arrangement has a double-acting Bowden cable, the jacket and strand of which are operatively connected to a holding element in the instep area. A swivel lever acts on the Bowden cable, when actuated the two holding elements are displaced relative to one another transversely to the longitudinal direction of the shoe in the instep area. In this known ski boot, the adaptation of the holding elements to the instep contour in the longitudinal, transverse and height directions is only possible to a limited extent. It is not possible to nestle the holding elements snugly against the inner shoe, especially in the area under the ankle.

Aufgabe der vodiegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Sportschuh, insbesondere Skischuh, zu schaffen, dessen Halteelemente an jede Fussform anpassbar sind und somit dem Fuss einen festen Sitz im Schuh gewährleisten.The object of the vo d ying invention is to provide a sports shoe, particularly a ski boot, of which holding elements are adaptable to any shape of foot and thus ensure a tight fit of the foot in the shoe.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch den kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the characterizing part of claim 1.

Die Halteelemente sind frei beweglich und können sich daher jeder beliebigen Fussform, einem hohen oder tiefen Rist, einem vorne oder hinten liegenden Rist, einem schmalen oder breiten Rist anpassen.The holding elements are freely movable and can therefore adapt to any foot shape, a high or low instep, an instep in the front or back, a narrow or wide instep.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weisen die Halteelemente in den Mittelbereichen schlitzförmige, im wesentlichen parallel zur Längsrichtung verlaufende Ausnehmungen auf; ebenso können die Halteelemente weitere Ausnehmungen gemäss Anspruch 4 aufweisen. Mit diesen Massnahmen wird eine optimale Anpassung der Halteelemente an die Fussform im Ristbereich erzielt, und überdies kann ein starker Druck auf das Schienbein verhindert werden.In a preferred embodiment, the holding elements in the central regions have slot-shaped recesses which run essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction; the holding elements can also have further recesses according to claim 4. With these measures, an optimal adaptation of the holding elements to the shape of the foot in the instep area is achieved, and moreover, a strong pressure on the shin can be prevented.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist mindestens das, den Aussenristbereich überdeckende Halteelement einen gegen den Bereich unterhalb des Sprunggelenkes gerichteten Lappen auf. Dadurch wird auch eine Anpassung der Halteelemente in diesem Bereich an den individuellen Fuss ermöglicht.In a further preferred embodiment, at least the holding element covering the outer instep area has a tab directed against the area below the ankle. This also enables the holding elements in this area to be adapted to the individual foot.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform weisen die Halteelemente in ihren vorderen Endbereichen im wesentlichen parallel zur Sohle und ungefähr parallel oder quer zur Schuhlängsrichtung verlaufende Langlöcher auf, in welchen Führungsorgane gleitend gelagert sind, welche ebenfalls in, im wesentlichen quer zu den Langlöchern verlaufenden Führungsschlitzen in einem Führungselement gleitend gelagert sind. Dies vermittelt den Halteelementen eine grösstmögliche Bewegungsfreiheit; diese wird auch mit einer Ausführungsform gemäss Anspruch 8 erreicht.In a further embodiment, the holding elements have in their front end regions substantially parallel to the sole and approximately parallel or transverse to the longitudinal direction of the slots, in which guide members are slidably mounted, which also slide in guide slots running essentially transverse to the elongated slots in a guide element are stored. This gives the holding elements the greatest possible freedom of movement; this is also achieved with an embodiment according to claim 8.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Abstand der vorderen Endbereiche zum Schaft einstellbar. Dadurch wird auch im Vorfussbereich ein sicherer Halt im Schuh erzielt. Dies wird auch dadurch erzielt, dass der Abstand des Führungselementes zum Schaft veränderbar ist.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the distance between the front end regions and the shaft is adjustable. This ensures a secure hold in the shoe even in the forefoot area. This is also achieved by changing the distance between the guide element and the shaft.

Die Spannanordnung weist zwei Zugorgane auf, wovon jedes an einem Halteelement, vorzugsweise im Bereich seitlich vor dem Sprunggelenk angreift, das andere Halteelement umgreift und zum Fersenbereich gerichtet verläuft. Dadurch wird eine optimale Krafteinleitung von den Zugorganen auf die Halteelemente erzielt, und insbesondere werden die Halteelemente im Bereich unterhalb des Sprunggelenkes an den Fuss angepresst, was einen vorzüglichen Halt im Schuh vermittelt.The tensioning arrangement has two traction elements, each of which engages on a holding element, preferably in the area laterally in front of the ankle, engages around the other holding element and extends towards the heel area. As a result, an optimal introduction of force from the traction elements to the holding elements is achieved, and in particular the holding elements are pressed against the foot in the area below the ankle, which provides excellent hold in the shoe.

In weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Zugorgane mit einem am oder im Schaft angeordneten Betätigungsorgan wirkverbunden. Es werden somit beide Zugorgane mittels einem einzigen Betätigungsorgan eingestellt, was die Bedienung stark vereinfacht.In a further preferred embodiment, the traction members are operatively connected to an actuating member arranged on or in the shaft. Both traction elements are thus set by means of a single actuating element, which greatly simplifies operation.

In bevorzugter Weise weist das Betätigungsorgan einen selbsthaltenden Drehverschluss auf, der die Zugorgane gleichzeitig spannt oder entlastet.In a preferred manner, the actuating member has a self-locking twist lock which simultaneously tensions or relieves the pulling members.

Dadurch ist eine stufenlose, feinregulierbare Einstellung der Halteelemente ermöglicht.This enables a continuous, finely adjustable adjustment of the holding elements.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Spannanordnung zwei doppeltwirkende Bowdenzüge auf, wovon mindestens der eine in den Mittelbereichen der Halteelemente auf diese einwirkt. Der zweite Bowdenzug kann auf die beiden Halteelemente auch in den Mittelbereich hineinwirken, oder aber auch weiter vorn, gegen die vorderen Endbereiche hin mit diesen wirkverbunden sein. Dies führt zu einer steuerbaren Anpassung der Halteelemente über praktisch den ganzen Rist bis in den Bereich der Zehen.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the tensioning arrangement has two double-acting Bowden cables, at least one of which acts on the holding elements in the central regions. The second Bowden cable can also act on the two holding elements in the central region, or else further forward, against the front end regions with these being operatively connected. This leads to a controllable adjustment of the holding elements over practically the entire instep down to the area of the toes.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind in den weiteren abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.Further preferred embodiments are specified in the further dependent claims.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen rein schematisch :

Das den Innenristbereich überdeckende Halteelement 24 ist mit einem ähnlichen strichpunktiert dargestellten Lappen 34'versehen. In den Mittelbereichen 28, 28' sind schlitzförmige, parallel zur Schuhlängsrichtung A und in den oberen Endbereichen 26, 26' querzur Sohle 12 verlaufende Ausnehmungen 36, 36' vorgesehen, wobei die Ausnehmungen 36' in den oberen Endbereichen 26, 26' bis zum Rand der Halteelemente 22, 24 reichen.1 shows a perspective view of a partially cut ski boot 10. It has a sole 12 and a shaft 14 on which a rear shaft part 18 is pivotally mounted below the ankle by means of joints 16 about an axis running approximately parallel to the sole 12 and transversely to the longitudinal direction A of the shoe is. Arranged in the interior of the shaft 14 is a padded inner shoe 20 which is covered in a saddle shape by two holding elements 22, 24 in the instep area. The two holding elements 22 and 24 overlap in their upper end regions 26, 26 'and middle regions 28, 28' in a direction approximately transversely to the shoe longitudinal direction A, whereas the front end regions 30,30 'are spaced apart from one another in the direction transversely to the shoe longitudinal direction A. In the covering area 32, the thickness of the holding elements 22, 24 is less than is the case outside the covering area 32. The holding element 22 covering the outer instep area has a tab 34 directed towards the area below the ankle. The holding element 24 covering the inner instep area is provided with a similar tab 34 ′ shown in dash-dot lines. In the central regions 28, 28 'there are slit-shaped recesses 36, 36' running parallel to the longitudinal direction A of the shoe and in the upper end regions 26, 26 'transverse to the sole 12, the recesses 36' in the upper end regions 26, 26 'to the edge of the holding elements 22, 24 are sufficient.

Im vorderen Endbereich 30, 30' jedes Halteelementes 22, 24 ist ein im wesentlichen parallel zur Schuhlängsrichtung A verlaufendes Langloch 38 bzw. 38' vorgesehen. In jedem dieser Langlöcher 38, 38' ist ein Führungsbolzen 40 gleitend gelagert, welcher ebenfalls in je einem Führungsschlitz 42, welcher in einem Führungselement 44 quer zur Schuhlängsrichtung A angeordnet ist, gleitend geführt ist. Das Führungselement 44 ist im Zehenansatzbereich angeordnet, verläuft im wesentlichen quer zur Schuhlängsrichtung A und ist mit einem Einstellorgan 46 wirkverbunden. Das Einstellorgan 46 stützt sich am Schaft 14 ab und weist einen Knebel 64 auf, mittels welchem der Abstand des Führungselementes 44 zum Schaft 14 in Pfeilrichtung B im wesentlichen quer zur Sohle 12 in bekannter Art und Weise eingestellt werden kann.In the front end region 30, 30 'of each holding element 22, 24 there is an elongated hole 38 or 38' which runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction A of the shoe. In each of these elongated holes 38, 38 ' , a guide pin 40 is slidably mounted, which is also slidably guided in a respective guide slot 42, which is arranged in a guide element 44 transversely to the shoe longitudinal direction A. The guide element 44 is arranged in the toe attachment area, extends essentially transversely to the longitudinal direction A of the shoe and is operatively connected to an adjusting member 46. The adjusting member 46 is supported on the shaft 14 and has a toggle 64, by means of which the distance of the guide element 44 to the shaft 14 in the direction of arrow B can be adjusted essentially transversely to the sole 12 in a known manner.

An jedem Halteelement 22, 24 ist im Bereich seitlich vor dem Sprunggelenk mittels einem nur andeutungsweise dargestellten Bajonettverschluss 48 ein Zugorgan 50, 50' befestigt. Die Bajonettverschlüsse 48 sind in weiteren Ausnehmungen 52 in den Halteelementen 22, 24 angeordnet, so dass diese nicht über die Halteelemente 20, 24 vorstehen. Die Zugorgane 50, 50' verlaufen vom jeweiligen Bajonettverschluss 48 über den Mittelbereich 28', 28 des andern Halteelementes 24, 22 und um im Fersenbereich am Schaft 14 angeordnete und nur mit gestrichelten Linien angedeutete Umlenkungen 54 zu einem Drehverschluss 56. Der Drehverschluss 56 ist im hinteren Schaftteil 18 angeordnet und weist eine Trommel auf, auf welcher die beiden Zugorgane 50, 50' unter Drehung eines Betätigungshebels 58 gleichzeitig aufgewickelt werden. Der Drehverschluss 56 ist selbsthaltend ausgebildet, so dass die Zugorgane 50, 50' nicht von selbst abgewickelt werden können.A tension member 50, 50 'is fastened to each holding element 22, 24 in the area laterally in front of the ankle joint by means of a bayonet lock 48, which is only indicated. The bayonet catches 48 are arranged in further recesses 52 in the holding elements 22, 24, so that they do not protrude beyond the holding elements 20, 24. The traction elements 50, 50 'run from the respective bayonet lock 48 over the central area 28', 28 of the other holding element 24, 22 and around deflections 54 arranged in the heel area on the shaft 14 and indicated only by dashed lines to a twist lock 56. The twist lock 56 is in arranged rear shaft part 18 and has a drum on which the two tension members 50, 50 'are wound simultaneously with the rotation of an actuating lever 58. The twist lock 56 is designed to be self-retaining, so that the tension members 50, 50 'cannot be handled by themselves.

In den Figuren 2 und 3 ist in Seiten- bzw. Vorderansicht der teilweise aufgeschnittene Skischuh 10 der Fig. 1 dargestellt. Die Bezugsziffern in diesen beiden Figuren entsprechen denjenigen der Fig. 1, und es sind nur noch jene angegeben, welche für das Verständnis der beiden Figuren notwendig sind.FIGS. 2 and 3 show the partially cut ski boot 10 of FIG. 1 in side and front views. The reference numerals in these two figures correspond to those in FIG. 1, and only those that are necessary to understand the two figures are given.

Zwischen dem Schaft 14 und dem Innenschuh 20 sind die Halteelemente 22, 24 angeordnet, welche, wie weiter oben beschrieben, mittels den Zugorganen 50, 50' mit dem am hinteren Schaftteil 18 angeordneten Drehverschluss 56 wirkverbunden sind. Die vorderen Endbereiche 30, 30' sind ebenfalls mittels den Langlöchern 38, 38', Führungsbolzen 40 und Führungsschlitzen 42 am Führungselement 44 gleitend gelagert. Am Führungselement 44 ist ein Gewindebolzen 60 befestigt, auf welchem eine, im Schaft 14 drehbar gelagerte Mutter 62 des Einstellorganes 46 sitzt. Das Einstellorgan 46 weist ebenfalls einen, mit der Mutter 62 drehfest verbundenen Knebel 64 auf, welcherfür die Einstellung des Abstandes in Pfeilrichtung B zwischen dem Schaft 14 und den Halteelementen 22, 24 in eine vom Schaft 14 abstehenden Betätigungsstellung schwenkbar und nach erfolgter Einstellung wieder in eine, am Schaft 14 anliegende Ruhestellung zurückschwenkbar ist. Die Halteelemente 22,24 sind strichpunktiert und mit 22', 24' bzw. 22", 24" bezeichnet in weiteren, verschiedenen Stellungen angedeutet. 22', 24' zeigt die Lage der Halteelemente bei einem hohen, vorne liegenden Rist, während mit 22", 24" ein tiefer, hinten liegender Rist eines schmalen Fusses angedeutet ist.Arranged between the shaft 14 and the inner shoe 20 are the holding elements 22, 24, which, as described above, are operatively connected by means of the traction elements 50, 50 'to the rotary closure 56 arranged on the rear shaft part 18. The front end regions 30, 30 'are also slidably mounted on the guide element 44 by means of the elongated holes 38, 38', guide bolts 40 and guide slots 42. A threaded bolt 60 is fastened on the guide element 44, on which a nut 62 of the adjusting element 46, which is rotatably mounted in the shaft 14, is seated. The adjusting member 46 also has a toggle 64 connected to the nut 62 in a rotationally fixed manner, which can be pivoted in order to adjust the distance in the direction of arrow B between the shaft 14 and the holding elements 22, 24 into an actuating position protruding from the shaft 14 and, after the setting has been made, back into one , Resting position on the shaft 14 can be pivoted back. The holding elements 22, 24 are dash-dotted and indicated with 22 ', 24' or 22 ", 24" in further, different positions. 22 ', 24' shows the position of the holding elements in the case of a high instep lying at the front, while 22 ", 24" indicates a lower instep of a narrow foot at the back.

In der Fig. 4 ist derselbe Skischuh 10, wie in der Fig. 1, vereinfacht und als durchsichtig angenommen dargestellt. Der Abstand der Halteelemente 22, 24 in ihren vorderen Endbereichen 30, 30' zum Schaft 14 ist in Pfeilrichtung B mittels dem Einstellorgan 46 einstellbar. An den Halteelementen 22, 24 sind in den vorderen Endbereichen 30, 30' Führungsbolzen 40, welche in quer zur Schuhlängsrichtung A verlaufenden Führungsschlitzen 42 im Führungselement 44 gleitend gelagert sind, fixiert. Das Führungselement 44 ist mit einem weiteren, parallel zur Schuhlängsachse A verlaufenden Führungsschlitz 42' am Einstellorgan 46 gleitend geführt. Der Mantel 66 eines ersten Bowdenzuges 68 ist im Mittelbereich 28' mit dem Halteelement 24 wirkverbunden, während die Litze 70 am Halteelement 22 befestigt ist. Ein zweiter Bowdenzug 72 wirkt mit seinem Mantel 74 und seiner Litze 76 im Uebergangsbereich zwischen den Mittelbereichen 28, 28' und vorderen Endbereichen 30, 30' auf die Halteelemente 22 bzw. 24 ein. Die beiden Bowdenzüge 68 und 70 sind zum Drehverschluss 56 geführt, an welchem sich die Mäntel 66 und 74 abstützen, und mittels welchem die Litzen 70, 76 aufwickelbar sind.4, the same ski boot 10, as in FIG. 1, is shown simplified and assumed to be transparent. The distance between the holding elements 22, 24 in their front end regions 30, 30 'from the shaft 14 can be adjusted in the direction of arrow B by means of the adjusting member 46. Guide bolts 40, which are slidably mounted in guide slots 42 in the guide element 44 which run transversely to the longitudinal direction A of the shoe, are fixed to the holding elements 22, 24 in the front end regions 30, 30 '. The guide element 44 is slidably guided on the adjusting member 46 with a further guide slot 42 'running parallel to the longitudinal axis A of the shoe. The jacket 66 of a first Bowden cable 68 is operatively connected to the holding element 24 in the central region 28 ', while the strand 70 is fastened to the holding element 22. A second Bowden cable 72 acts with its jacket 74 and its Strand 76 in the transition area between the middle areas 28, 28 'and front end areas 30, 30' onto the holding elements 22 and 24, respectively. The two Bowden cables 68 and 70 are guided to the twist lock 56, on which the jackets 66 and 74 are supported, and by means of which the strands 70, 76 can be wound up.

Im folgenden wird die Einstellbarkeit und Anpassungsfähigkeit der Halteelemente 22, 24 näher beschrieben. Vor dem Einsteigen in den Skischuh 10 wird der Abstand in Pfeilrichtung B zwischen dem Führungselement 44 und dem Schaft 14 auf ein Minimum eingestellt (vgl. insbesondere Figuren 1 und 2). Die Zugorgane 50, 50' bzw. Litzen 70, 76 der Bowdenzüge 68, 72 sind ebenfalls gelöst. In diesem Zustand liegen die Halteelemente 22, 24 praktisch an der Innenwand des Schaftes 14 an, so dass genügend Platz für ein problemloses Einsteigen in den Innenschuh 20 gewährleistet ist. Nach dem Spannen des hinteren Schaftteiles 18 gegen den Schaft 14 mittels bekannten Verschlüssen können nun die Halteelemente 22, 24 eingestellt werden. Durch Drehen am Betätigungshebel 58 des Drehverschlusses 56 (s. Fig. 1)wirdaufdieZugorgane50,50' bzw. auf die Litzen 70, 76 (s. Fig. 4) eine Zugkraft ausgeübt, die ein Verschieben der Halteelemente 22, 24 in Richtung quer zur Schuhlängsrichtung A zur Folge hat. Dabei passen sich die Haltelemente 22, 24 der Fussform an, indem sie einerseits in Schuhlängsrichtung A und quer dazu frei bewegbar gelagert sind, und andererseits auch eine Kippbewegung um das Führungselement 44 ausführen können. Insbesondere ist zu bemerken, dass bei der Ausführungsform gemäss den Figuren 1 bis 3 die Zugorgane 50, 50' derart geführt sind, dass die Lappen 34, 34' im Bereich unterhalb dem Sprunggelenk gegen den Fuss gepresst werden, was einen besonders guten Halt vermittelt. Mittels dem Einstellorgan 46 kann auch der Druck im Vorfussbereich eingestellt werden. Es ist somit eine Feinregulierung möglich, die ein schmerzfreies, sattes Anliegen des Innenschuhs am Fuss im Bereich der Halteelemente 22, 24 gestattet.The adjustability and adaptability of the holding elements 22, 24 is described in more detail below. Before getting into the ski boot 10, the distance in the direction of the arrow B between the guide element 44 and the shaft 14 is set to a minimum (cf. in particular FIGS. 1 and 2). The tension members 50, 50 'or strands 70, 76 of the Bowden cables 68, 72 are also released. In this state, the holding elements 22, 24 practically bear against the inner wall of the shaft 14, so that sufficient space is ensured for a problem-free entry into the inner shoe 20. After tensioning the rear shaft part 18 against the shaft 14 by means of known closures, the holding elements 22, 24 can now be adjusted. By turning the actuating lever 58 of the twist lock 56 (see Fig. 1), a tensile force is exerted on the pulling members 50, 50 'or on the strands 70, 76 (see Fig. 4), which causes the holding elements 22, 24 to move in the direction transverse to the Longitudinal shoe direction A results. The holding elements 22, 24 adapt to the shape of the foot by being freely movable on the one hand in the longitudinal direction A of the shoe and transversely thereto, and on the other hand also being able to perform a tilting movement around the guide element 44. In particular, it should be noted that, in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3, the traction members 50, 50 'are guided in such a way that the tabs 34, 34' are pressed against the foot in the region below the ankle, which gives a particularly good hold. The pressure in the forefoot area can also be set by means of the setting member 46. Fine adjustment is thus possible, which allows the inner shoe to fit snugly against the foot in the region of the holding elements 22, 24 without pain.

Zu der Ausführungsform gemäss Fig. 4 ist zu bemerken, dass beide Bowdenzüge 68, 72 in den Mittelbereichen 28, 28' parallel zueinander auf die beiden Halteelemente 22, 24 einwirken können, oder aber, wie dies in der Fig. 4 dargestellt ist, der eine Bowdenzug 68 in den Mittelbereichen 28,28' und der zweite Bowdenzug 72 in einem Abstand in Schuhlängsrichtung A dazu auf die beiden Halteelemente 22, 24 einwirkt.Regarding the embodiment according to FIG. 4, it should be noted that both Bowden cables 68, 72 can act on the two holding elements 22, 24 parallel to one another in the central regions 28, 28 ', or, as shown in FIG. 4, the a Bowden cable 68 in the central regions 28, 28 ′ and the second Bowden cable 72 acts on the two holding elements 22, 24 at a distance in the longitudinal direction A of the shoe.

Die Führungsbolzen 40 können auch am Führungselement 44, das mittels einem Führungsschlitz 42' am Einstellorgan 46 in einer Richtung, im wesentlichen parallel zur Schuhlängsrichtung A gleitend gelagert ist, fixiert sein. Die Führungsbolzen 40 gleiten dann in quer zur Schuhlängsrichtung A verlaufenden Langlöchem 38 in den Halteelementen 22, 24.The guide bolts 40 can also be fixed to the guide element 44, which is slidably mounted in a direction essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction A of the shoe by means of a guide slot 42 'on the adjusting member 46. The guide bolts 40 then slide in the oblong holes 38 running transversely to the shoe longitudinal direction A in the holding elements 22, 24.

Es ist auch möglich, auf ein Einstellorgan 46 zu verzichten, und das Führungselement 44 in einem festen Abstand zum Schaft 14 an diesem anzuordnen. Wichtig ist, dass die Bewegungsfreiheit der vorderen Endbereiche 30, 30' in Schuhlängsrichtung A und quer dazu gewährleistet ist.It is also possible to dispense with an adjusting member 46 and to arrange the guide element 44 at a fixed distance from the shaft 14. It is important that the freedom of movement of the front end regions 30, 30 'in the shoe longitudinal direction A and transversely thereto is guaranteed.

Es ist auch einzusehen, dass der Drehverschluss 56 nicht zwingend am hinteren Schaftteil 18 angeordnet sein muss, sondern irgendwo am Schaft 14 angeordnet sein kann. Ebenfalls ist einzusehen, dass der Drehverschluss 56 durch irgendeinen anderen Verschluss ersetzt werden kann, mittels welchem die Zugorgane 50, 50' bzw. Litzen 70, 76 verstellt werden können.It can also be seen that the twist lock 56 does not necessarily have to be arranged on the rear shaft part 18, but rather can be arranged anywhere on the shaft 14. It can also be seen that the twist lock 56 can be replaced by any other lock by means of which the tension members 50, 50 'or strands 70, 76 can be adjusted.

Es ist auch möglich, dass nur ein Lappen 34 vorgesehen ist, der am, den Aussenrist überdeckenden Halteelement 22 angeordnet ist. Das den Innenrist überdeckende Halteelement 24 kann ohne den Lappen 34' ausgebildet sein.It is also possible for only one tab 34 to be provided, which is arranged on the holding element 22 covering the outer instep. The holding element 24 covering the inner instep can be formed without the tab 34 '.

Die obenbeschriebenen Halteanordnungen können in jedem beliebigen Skischuh oder Sportschuh Verwendung finden. So ist es möglich, dass auf ein Innenschuh verzichtet wird und eine Polsterung direkt auf den Haltelementen 22, 24 angeordnet ist, oder dass die Halteelemente 22, 24 zwischen dem Schaft 14 und einer gepolsterten Zunge angeordnet sind.The holding arrangements described above can be used in any ski shoe or sports shoe. It is thus possible for an inner shoe to be dispensed with and for padding to be arranged directly on the holding elements 22, 24, or for the holding elements 22, 24 to be arranged between the shaft 14 and a padded tongue.
