Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Verbessern des Abschlusses zwischen dem Schaft eines Skischuhes bzw. eines Innenschuhes und dem Bein mit einem am Skischuh oder am Innenschuh festgelegten Band, welches den Schuh und das Bein umgibt und nach Art eines Gürtels schließbar ist.The invention relates to a device for improving the closure between the shaft of a ski boot or an inner boot and the leg with a band fixed on the ski boot or on the inner boot, which surrounds the boot and the leg and can be closed in the manner of a belt.

Skischuhe mit einer relativ harten Schale weisen zumeist einen weichgepolsterten Innenschuh auf und bedingt durch die Polsterstärke derartiger Innenschuhe ist eine gewisse Beweg­lichkeit des Fußes innerhalb des Innenschuhes gegeben. Der mit einem relativ starren Schalenteil verbundene Schaft eines Skischuhes ist zur Verschwenkung des Beines in eine Vorlage­stellung meist gelenkig an der Schale angeschlossen und die Schwenkbarkeit des Schaftes relativ zur Schale kann durch geeignete dämpfende Anschläge begrenzt werden. Mit Rücksicht auf die gepolsterte Ausbildung des Innenschuhes und die dadurch gegebene Beweglichkeit des Beines im Innenschuh ist der dichte Abschluß des Beines am Innenschuh nicht ohne weiteres gewährleistet, wobei insbesondere bei einer Verschwenkung des Beines in Richtung einer Vorlage die Polsterung einseitig komprimiert wird. Die maximale Ver­schwenkung des Schaftes in eine Vorlagestellung kann, wie er­wähnt, durch Anschläge an der Schale begrenzt werden und ebenso ist es bei bekannten Schalenskischuhen üblich den maximalen Schwenkwinkel des Schaftes relativ zur Schale nach hinten zu begrenzen. Bei einer derartigen Begrenzung der Schwenkbewegung werden die Materialeigenschaften des Schaftes zusätzlich als Dämpfung wirksam, da die Abstützung bzw. Begrenzung des Schwenkwinkels nicht nahe dem oberen Abschluß des Schaftes sondern vielmehr nahe dem Anschluß des Schaftes an die Schale erfolgt.Ski boots with a relatively hard shell usually have a soft-padded inner shoe and, due to the cushioning strength of such inner shoes, there is a certain mobility of the foot within the inner shoe. The shaft of a ski boot connected to a relatively rigid shell part is usually connected to the shell in an articulated manner for pivoting the leg into a template position, and the pivotability of the shaft relative to the shell can be limited by suitable damping stops. In view of the padded design of the inner shoe and the resulting mobility of the leg in the inner shoe, the tight closure of the leg on the inner shoe is not readily guaranteed, with the padding being compressed on one side in particular when the leg is pivoted in the direction of a template. As mentioned, the maximum pivoting of the shaft into a template position can be limited by stops on the shell and it is also customary in known shell ski boots to limit the maximum pivoting angle of the shaft relative to the shell to the rear. With such a limitation of the swivel movement, the material properties of the shaft also act as damping, since the support or limitation of the swivel angle does not take place near the upper end of the shaft but rather near the connection of the shaft to the shell.

Die Erfindung zielt nun darauf ab, eine Einrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit welcher der dichte Abschluß des Innenschuhes gegenüber dem Fuß in allen Schwenk­lagen sichergestellt ist und mit welcher wahlweise die Möglichkeit geschaffen wird, die dämpfenden Eigenschaften des Materiales des Schaftes zusätzlich zur gedämpften Begrenzung der Verschwenkbarkeit des Schaftes auszunützen, ohne daß hiebei der dichte Abschluß des Beines gegenüber dem Innen­schuh verlorengeht. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht die Erfindung im wesentlichen darin, daß das Band wenigstens ein Kupplungsglied für die wahlweise Festlegung am Schaft oder am Innenschuh des Skischuhes aufweist, wobei das Band jeweils mit einem entsprechenden Kupplungsglied am Schaft oder am Innenschuh des Schuhes lösbar verbindbar ist. Während es bei älteren Innenschuhen bekannt war, den dichten Abschluß des Beines relativ zum Innenschuh durch eine ristseitige Verschnürung zu gewährleisten, erlaubt nun ein den Innenschuh am oberen Rand umgreifendes Band den Abschluß nahe dem oberen Rand des Innenschuhes unabhängig von der Kompression der Polsterung des Innenschuhes sicherzustellen. Um in diesen Fällen eine korrekte Positionierung des den oberen Rand des Schuhes umgreifenden Bandes sicherzustellen, kann das Kupp­lungsglied am Innenschuh mit dem entsprechenden Kupplungs­glied des Bandes in Wirkverbindung gebracht werden, wobei ein dichter Abschluß des Innenschuhes gegenüber dem Bein unab­hängig von der Schwenkstellung des Innenschuhes gewährleistet ist. Wenn nun, wie erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, ein Kupplungs­glied wahlweise nicht nur am Innenschuh sondern gegebenen­falls auch am Schaft festgelegt werden kann, umgreift das auf diese Weise wiederum den Innenschuh gurtartig umfassende Band nicht nur den Innenschuh sondern auch den hinteren Teil des Schaftes, wobei in diesem Falle die Dämpfungseigenschaften des Materials des Schaftes bei der Begrenzung der Ver­schwenkung des Schaftes in die Vorlagestellung wirksam werden. Es kann somit durch Austausch der Anschlußstelle des Bandes durch wahlweise Festlegung des Kupplungsgliedes am Schaft oder am Innenschuh nicht nur der dichte Abschluß gegenüber dem Bein sichergestellt werden, sondern es kann durch geeignete Wahl der Anschlußstelle auch die Dämpfung der Begrenzung der Verschwenkung des Schaftes verändert werden.The invention now aims to provide a device of the type mentioned, with which the tight closure of the inner shoe with respect to the foot is ensured in all pivoting positions and with which the possibility is optionally created to additionally damp the properties of the material of the shaft To limit the pivotability of the shaft without losing the tight seal of the leg with respect to the inner shoe. To achieve this object, the invention essentially consists in that the band has at least one coupling member for the optional fixing on the shaft or on the inner boot of the ski boot, the band being releasably connectable to a corresponding coupling member on the shaft or on the inner boot of the boot. While it was known with older inner shoes to ensure the tight closure of the leg relative to the inner shoe by means of a lacing on the instep, a band encompassing the inner shoe at the upper edge now allows the closure near the upper edge of the inner shoe to be ensured regardless of the compression of the padding of the inner shoe . In order to ensure correct positioning of the band encompassing the upper edge of the shoe in these cases, the coupling member on the inner shoe can be brought into operative connection with the corresponding coupling member of the band, a tight seal of the inner shoe with respect to the leg being ensured regardless of the pivoting position of the inner shoe . If, as provided in accordance with the invention, a coupling member can optionally be attached not only to the inner shoe but optionally also to the shaft, the band that in turn encompasses the inner shoe in a belt-like manner encompasses not only the inner shoe but also the rear part of the shaft, in this case the damping properties of the material of the shaft are effective in limiting the pivoting of the shaft into the original position. It can thus by exchanging the connection point of the tape by optionally setting the coupling member on Shaft or on the inner shoe not only the tight seal against the leg can be ensured, but the damping of the limitation of the pivoting of the shaft can also be changed by a suitable choice of the connection point.

Mit Vorteil ist die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung hiezu so getroffen, daß die Kupplungsglieder von Druckknöpfen, Klett­verschlüssen, Durchbrechungen und Zapfen od.dgl. gebildet sind, wobei vorzugsweise die Kupplungsglieder für ver­schiedene Festlegepositionen voneinander verschieden ausge­bildet sind. Für die sichere Festlegung des Bandes am Schaft, insbesondere der Außenseite des Schaftes, kann in einfacher Weise die Ausbildung so getroffen werden, daß das Kupplungs­glied für die Festlegung an der Außenseite des Schaftes von einem mit dem Schaft verbindbaren Zapfen gebildet ist, welcher in eine Durchbrechung des Bandes eingreift, wobei in diesem Zusammenhang eine andersartige Ausbildung des Kupp­lungsgliedes für die Festlegung am Innenschuh nicht zuletzt deshalb besonders wichtig ist, weil auf diese Weise Druck­stellen im Inneren des Schuhes vermieden werden. Die Fest­legung des Bandes am Innenschuh kann in besonders einfacher Weise als Klettverschluß ausgebildet sein, wobei die Kupp­lungsglieder jeweils von miteinander zusammenwirkenden Teilen eines Klettverschlusses gebildet sind, wodurch eine besonders flachbauende und über einen breiten Bereich druckverteilende Kupplung des Bandes mit dem Innenschuh erzielt wird. Bei der Festlegung an der Außenseite des Schuhes kann mit einem von einem derartigen Klettverschluß abweichenden Kupplungsglied, insbesondere mit dem bevorzugten Zapfen eine besonders sichere und auch große Kräfte aufnehmende Festlegung am Schaft erzielt werden. An der Außenseite kann naturgemäß auch ein Druckknopf als Kupplungsglied Verwendung finden. Um eine korrekte Positionierung der Schließglieder für das Band in beliebigen Kupplungsstellungen wahlweise am Schaft oder am Innenschuh zu gewährleisten, ist die Ausbildung mit Vorteil so getroffen, daß die am Schaft bzw. am Innenschuh fest­ gelegten Kupplungsglieder jeweils ungefähr in der Längsmitte des Schuhes am hinteren Ende des Schaftes bzw. des Innen­schuhes außen angeordnet sind.Advantageously, the design according to the invention is such that the coupling members of push buttons, Velcro fasteners, openings and pins or the like. are formed, wherein the coupling members are preferably designed differently from one another for different fixing positions. For the secure fixing of the band on the shaft, in particular the outside of the shaft, the design can be made in a simple manner so that the coupling member for fixing on the outside of the shaft is formed by a pin which can be connected to the shaft and which extends into an opening of the band engages, in this context a different design of the coupling member for fixing to the liner is not least particularly important because pressure points in the interior of the shoe are avoided in this way. The fixing of the band on the inner shoe can be designed in a particularly simple manner as a Velcro fastener, the coupling members each being formed by interacting parts of a Velcro fastener, as a result of which a particularly flat construction and pressure-distributing coupling of the band to the inner shoe is achieved. When fixing on the outside of the shoe, a particularly secure and also large force-absorbing fixing on the upper can be achieved with a coupling member that deviates from such a Velcro fastener, in particular with the preferred pin. A push button can of course also be used on the outside as a coupling member. In order to ensure correct positioning of the closing elements for the belt in any coupling positions either on the shaft or on the liner, the design is advantageously made such that the on the shaft or on the liner firmly placed coupling members are each arranged approximately in the longitudinal center of the shoe at the rear end of the shaft or the liner outside.

Um die Kupplungsglieder gegen Beschädigung zu sichern, kann mit Vorteil die Ausbildung so getroffen werden, daß der Zapfen des Schaftes von einem am Schaft lösbar festlegbaren Bügel übergriffen ist. In besonders einfacher Weise kann, wie es einer bevorzugten Ausbildung entspricht, der Zapfen einstückig mit dem Bügel ausgebildet sein. Die Verhängung bzw. Festlegung des Bügels am Schaft kann beispielsweise durch in Schlitze eingreifende Winkel erzielt werden, wobei der Bügel unter elastischer Verformung in die Schlitze eingesetzt werden kann.In order to secure the coupling members against damage, the design can advantageously be made such that the pin of the shaft is overlapped by a bracket which can be releasably fixed to the shaft. In a particularly simple manner, as corresponds to a preferred embodiment, the pin can be formed in one piece with the bracket. The attachment or fixing of the bracket to the shaft can be achieved, for example, by angles engaging in slots, wherein the bracket can be inserted into the slots with elastic deformation.

Durch Verbinden der Bänder zweier Schuhe kann darüberhinaus in einfacher Weise eine Tragvorrichtung für die Skischuhe gebildet werden.By connecting the straps of two boots, a carrying device for the ski boots can also be formed in a simple manner.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an Hand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. In dieser zeigen: Fig. 1 eine schematische Seitenansicht eines Schaftes mit der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung am Heckteil des Schaftes, Fig. 2 einen Schnitt durch die Längsmittelebene des Schaftes in vergrößertes Darstellung mit einer abge­wandelten Einrichtung und Fig. 3 einen Teilbereich des Bandes in Ansicht auf seine Innenseite.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. 1 shows a schematic side view of a shaft with the device according to the invention on the rear part of the shaft, FIG. 2 shows a section through the longitudinal central plane of the shaft in an enlarged view with a modified device, and FIG. 3 shows a portion of the band in a view of it Inside.

In der Zeichnung ist eine Skischuh 1 dargestellt, welcher eine Schale 2 und einen aus zwei Teilen 3 und 4 bestehenden Schaft aufweist, wobei der im Heckbereich vorgesehene Schaft­teil 3 bei der gezeigten Ausführungsform nach hinten abklapp­bar ist. Im Inneren des Skischuhes 1 ist ein Innenschuh 5 schematisch angedeutet. Die beiden Schaftteile 3 und 4 sind dabei um eine mit 15 angedeutete Schwenkachse, welche im Knöchelbereich angeordnet ist, relativ zur Schale 2 ver­ schwenkbar. Wie aus Fig. 1 deutlich ersichtlich, weist der Schuhspitze zugewandte Schaftteil 4 eine geringere Höhe auf als der Heckteil 3. Um bei einer Vorlage ein Klaffen im Heckbereich zu vermeiden, ist bei der Darstellung nach Fig. 1 an der Außenseite des Schaftteiles 3 ein Band 6 festgelegt, welches den Heckteil 3 und den Inneschuh 5 in seinem oberen Bereich umgreift. In einfacher Weise ist hiebei das Band 6 beispielsweise mittels Klettverschluß am Schaftteil 3 fest­gelegt. Um die Länge des Bandes zu variieren, weist dieses beispielsweise eine Öse 7 auf, in welcher das Band umgelenkt wird, wobei ein sicherer Verschluß in der gewünschten Länge durch Vorsehen beispielsweise eines Klettverschlusses ermög­licht wird. Als Verschluß des Skischuhes ist dabei in Fig. 1 eine Schnalle 8 im Bereich des Schaftes schematisch ange­deutet.In the drawing, a ski boot 1 is shown, which has a shell 2 and a shaft consisting of two parts 3 and 4, the shaft part 3 provided in the rear area being foldable to the rear in the embodiment shown. An inner boot 5 is indicated schematically in the interior of the ski boot 1. The two shaft parts 3 and 4 are ver relative to the shell 2 about a pivot axis indicated by 15, which is arranged in the ankle area swiveling. As can clearly be seen from FIG. 1, the shaft part 4 facing the toe has a lower height than the rear part 3. In order to avoid gaping in the rear area when presenting, a band is on the outside of the shaft part 3 in the illustration according to FIG. 1 6 fixed, which encompasses the rear part 3 and the inner shoe 5 in its upper region. In a simple manner, the band 6 is fixed to the shaft part 3, for example by means of a Velcro fastener. In order to vary the length of the band, this has, for example, an eyelet 7, in which the band is deflected, a secure closure in the desired length being made possible by providing, for example, a Velcro fastener. A buckle 8 in the region of the shaft is indicated schematically in FIG. 1 as the closure of the ski boot.

Bei der Darstellung nach Fig. 2 ist das erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Band 6 am Schaftteil 3 festgelegt. Die Festlegung des Bandes 6 erfolgt bei dieser Ausführungsform über einen Bügel 9, welcher über Fortsätze 10 in im Schaftteil 3 vorge­sehene Ausnehmungen 11 einrastet, wobei die Positionierung des Bandes 6 über einen am Bügel 9 vorgesehenen Zapfen 12, welcher durch eine im Band vorgesehene Durchbrechung 13 des Bandes 6 hindurchtritt, erfolgt.In the illustration according to FIG. 2, the band 6 provided according to the invention is fixed on the shaft part 3. In this embodiment, the band 6 is fixed via a bracket 9, which engages via recesses 10 in the recesses 11 provided in the shaft part 3, the positioning of the band 6 via a pin 12 provided on the bracket 9, which is provided by an opening 13 provided in the band of the band 6 passes through.

In Fig. 3 ist ein Teilbereich eines Bandes 6 dargestellt, wobei die Fig. 3 eine Ansicht auf die Innenseite dieses Bandes zeigt. Das Band 6 weist die Durchbrechung 13 für die Aufnahme des Zapfens 12 auf, wobei die Durchbrechung 13 an der Innenseite von einem Teil eines Klettverschlusses 14 umgeben ist, welcher mit einem entsprechend komplementären Teil des Klettverschlusses an der Außenseite des Innenschuhes 5 festgelegt werden kann.FIG. 3 shows a partial area of a band 6, FIG. 3 showing a view of the inside of this band. The band 6 has the opening 13 for receiving the pin 12, the opening 13 being surrounded on the inside by a part of a Velcro fastener 14 which can be fixed on the outside of the inner shoe 5 with a correspondingly complementary part of the Velcro fastener.
