Abstract

In the ski boot, which is adjustable in size, the length and/or width can be adjusted. The shell of the boot is divided up into at least two parts, preferably into four parts (1,2,3,4). The multi-part shell is individually adjustable at the front and at the rear and has mainly a support function. The insulation and sealing against moisture is carried out by a special extensible inner boot which is adapted to the size of the foot at the same time as the adjustment of the shell. <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen grössenverstellbaren Skischuh, welcher in seiner Länge und Breite verstellt werden kann.The present invention relates to a size-adjustable ski boot, which can be adjusted in length and width.

Die bekannten Skischuhe müssen in verschiedenen Grössen bereitgestellt werden, damit jeder Skifahrer seine passende Schuhnummer findet. Dies führt dazu, dass bei der Herstellung eine Anzahl von verschiedenen Werkzeugen erforderlich ist und dass der Handel ein verhältnismässig grosses Lager halten muss, um die Nachfrage der Kunden zu befriedigen. Vielfach muss also der Skifahrer das Schuhmodell oder die Schuhmarke aufgrund der Fussform auswählen und ist unter Umständen in seiner Wahl stark eingeschränkt. Aus der US-A-4 083 128 ist ein verstellbarer Skischuh bekannt, welcher auf einer Sohlenplattform aufgebaut ist, wobei der Vorderteil des Schuhs teleskopartig in den hinteren Teil eingreift und entsprechend der Fussgrösse eingestellt werden kann. In einer speziellen Ausführungsform kann ebenfalls die Breite des vorderen Teils eingestellt werden. Bei diesem Schuh kann wohl die Länge präzise eingestellt werden, jedoch ist der Schaft und insbesondere der Fersenteil des Schuhs nicht verstellbar. Eine präzise Anpassung des Schuhs am Schaft, insbesondere an der Ferse, ist demzufolge nicht möglich. Weiter erfordert der Schuh eine aufwendige Abdichtung, damit kein Wasser in das Schuhinnere eindringt. Die vorliegende Erfindung soll diesem Problem Abhilfe schaffen, indem ein Skischuh zur Verfügung gestellt wird, der in seiner Länge und Breite verstellbar ist und demzufolge den unterschiedlichsten Fussgrössen und -formen präzise angepasst werden kann.The well-known ski boots have to be provided in different sizes so that every skier can find the right shoe number. This means that a number of different tools are required in the manufacture and that the retailer has to keep a relatively large stock in order to meet the customers' demand. In many cases, the skier has to choose the shoe model or brand based on the shape of the foot and may be very limited in his choice. From US-A-4 083 128 an adjustable ski shoe is known, which is built on a sole platform, the front part of the shoe telescopically engaging in the rear part and being adjustable according to the foot size. In a special embodiment, the width of the front part can also be adjusted. The length of this shoe can be adjusted precisely, but the shaft and in particular the heel part of the shoe are not adjustable. A precise adjustment of the shoe on the shaft, especially on the heel, is therefore not possible. The shoe also requires a complex seal so that no water penetrates into the inside of the shoe. The present invention is intended to remedy this problem by providing a ski boot which is adjustable in length and width and can therefore be precisely adapted to a wide variety of foot sizes and shapes.

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung sind demzufolge die im Anspruchsteil definierten Gegenstände.The present invention accordingly relates to the objects defined in the claims.

Die erfindungsgemässen Skischuhe sind Schalenskischuhe, welche die Ansprüche des Allround-Skifahrers, wie auch des Rennläufers abdecken sollen.The ski boots according to the invention are shell ski boots which are intended to cover the requirements of the all-round skier as well as the racer.

Der erfindungsgemässe Skischuh besitzt eine Schale, die in Längs- und Querrichtung zur Schuhlängsachse in vier Teile aufgeteilt ist. Die aneinanderstossenden Grenzlinien dieser vier Schalenteile sind in der Regel so ausgestaltet, dass sie bei ihrer gegenseitigen Verschiebung in einem gewissen Verstellbereich überlappen. Die aneinanderstossenden oder überlappenden Flächen sind so ausgebildet, dass das Eindringen von Schnee und Wasser weitgehend verhindert wird. Ist die Sohle in die Schalenteile integriert, kann zwischen dem Sohlenvorderteil und dem Absatz eine Lücke vorhanden sein, die je nach der Längeneinstellung breiter oder schmaler ist. In diesem Fall müssen jedoch die darüberliegenden Teile der Schale des Skischuhs genügend stabil miteinander verbunden sein. Zur Verbindung und zur Verstellung der Schalen- bzw. Sohlenteile dienen Verstellmittel, wie beispielsweise Stellschrauben oder Führungsglieder in Führungskanälen, durch welche der Abstand der einzelnen Teile genau festgelegt und fixiert werden kann.The ski boot according to the invention has a shell which is divided into four parts in the longitudinal and transverse directions to the longitudinal axis of the shoe. The adjoining boundary lines of these four shell parts are generally designed so that they are displaced with respect to one another overlap in a certain adjustment range. The abutting or overlapping surfaces are designed so that the ingress of snow and water is largely prevented. If the sole is integrated into the shell parts, there may be a gap between the front part of the sole and the heel, which is wider or narrower depending on the length setting. In this case, however, the overlying parts of the shell of the ski boot must be connected to one another in a sufficiently stable manner. Adjustment means, such as set screws or guide elements in guide channels, are used to connect and adjust the shell or sole parts, by means of which the distance between the individual parts can be precisely determined and fixed.

Bei der längsverstellbaren Ausführungsform besteht die Schale aus einem Vorderteil und einem Fersenteil, vorzugsweise überlappend. Die Ueberlappungsstelle kann so ausgebildet sein, dass sie eine Dichtung enthält, die ein Eindringen von Wasser vermeidet. Im weiteren können die beiden Schalenteile bei der breitenverstellbaren Ausführungsform so ausgebildet sein, dass sie eine Dichtung enthält, die ein Eindringen von Wasser vermeidet. Im weiteren können die beiden Schalenteile bei der breitenverstellbaren Ausführungsform so ausgebildet sein, dass sie im verstellbaren Bereich deformierbar sind. Die Deformierbarkeit kann durch eine Ueberlappungsstelle, durch Falten, durch eine balgartige Ausgestaltung oder durch einen variablen Zwischenraum bewerkstelligt werden.In the longitudinally adjustable embodiment, the shell consists of a front part and a heel part, preferably overlapping. The overlap point can be designed such that it contains a seal that prevents water from penetrating. Furthermore, the two shell parts in the width-adjustable embodiment can be designed so that they contain a seal that prevents water from penetrating. Furthermore, the two shell parts in the width-adjustable embodiment can be designed such that they can be deformed in the adjustable area. The deformability can be brought about by an overlap point, by folding, by a bellows-like configuration or by a variable intermediate space.

Da bei einem grössenverstellbaren Skischuh ebenfalls die Lage des Gelenks zwischen Schale und Schaft angepasst werden sollte, besitzt der erfindungsgemässe Skischuh vorzugsweise ein höhenverstellbares Gelenk. Beim Anpassen der Grösse des Skischuhs muss das Gelenk entsprechend den anatomischen Voraussetzungen angepasst werden. Ist die Höhe einmal korrekt angepasst, braucht dieses Gelenk vom Skifahrer später nicht mehr verstellt zu werden. Demzufolge kann ein solcher Schuh auf den Markt gebracht werden, in welchem das Gelenk erst bei der Anpassung an der richtigen Stelle montiert wird. Dabei ist der Schuh fabrikmässig so vorbereitet, dass das Gelenk auf einfache Weise an verschiedenen zweckmässigen Positionen montiert werden kann.Since the position of the joint between the shell and the shaft should also be adapted in the case of a size-adjustable ski boot, the ski boot according to the invention preferably has a height-adjustable joint. When customizing the The size of the ski boot has to be adjusted according to the anatomical requirements. Once the height has been correctly adjusted, this joint no longer needs to be adjusted by the skier. As a result, such a shoe can be brought onto the market in which the joint is only mounted in the correct place when it is adapted. The shoe is factory-prepared so that the joint can be easily installed in various convenient positions.

Der erfindungemässe Skischuh besitzt ebenfalls einen speziellen Innenschuh, welcher eine Anpassung des Schuhs an eine bestimmte Fussgrösse ermöglicht. Der Innenschuh ist vorzugsweise aus einem dehnbaren und wasserdichten Material. Er ist an der Fussspitze, an der Ferse und am Schuhrand an der Schale bzw. am Schaft fixiert. Dies kann z.B. durch Einrasten eines geeigneten Kunststoffteils des Innenschuhs in eine Oeffnung an der Schale geschehen. Bei der Längenverstellung wird der Innenschuh gedehnt, wobei die Ausübung von Druck auf die Zehen vermieden wird. Die Weite des Innenschuhs muss so gewählt werden, dass der Druck auf den Fuss in den möglichen Grössenbereichen annehmbar ist.The ski boot according to the invention also has a special inner boot which enables the boot to be adapted to a specific foot size. The liner is preferably made of a stretchable and waterproof material. It is fixed at the tip of the foot, at the heel and at the edge of the shoe on the shell or on the shaft. This can e.g. by snapping a suitable plastic part of the liner into an opening on the shell. When adjusting the length, the liner is stretched, avoiding pressure on the toes. The width of the liner must be chosen so that the pressure on the foot is acceptable in the possible size ranges.

In den Nuten 26 und 27 sind die Führungsmittel 28 und 29 vorhanden, welche zur Führung der Stellschrauben 30 und 31 mittels der Führungsnuten 34 und 35 dienen. Die genannten Führungsmittel 28 und 29 und die dazu passenden Führungsnuten 34 und 35 in den Stellmitteln 30 und 31 dienen ebenfalls zur Zentrierung der Schale bezüglich der Schuhsohle. Durch diese Anordnung kann ebenfalls eine individuelle Verstellung der Vorder- und Hinterhälfte vorgenommen werden.2 shows a further embodiment of a ski boot according to the invention. On the one hand, this ski boot has a two-part sole with the front part 21 and the heel part 22. The two sole halves are connected to one another by the guide rods 23. The set screws 24, which can be arranged either in the heel half or in the front half, are used to determine the sole length. On the upper side of the sole there are fastening holes 25, which are preferably provided with internal threads. Next are in the two Half of the sole, the guide grooves 26 and 27 are present. They serve to accommodate the set screws 30, 31 on the shell, including the corresponding fastening means 32, 33 provided with opposite internal threads Guide grooves 34 and 35 serve. The mentioned guide means 28 and 29 and the matching guide grooves 34 and 35 in the adjusting means 30 and 31 also serve to center the shell with respect to the shoe sole. This arrangement also allows the front and rear halves to be individually adjusted.

Die Schale besteht zur Hauptsache aus vier Teilen 36 - 39. Das gegenseitige Verschieben dieser Schalenteile kann zur korrekten Längen- bzw. Seitenverstellung ausgenutzt werden. Diese Schalenteile werden mittels Schrauben oder Nieten durch die länglichen Löcher 40, 41, 42, 43 und die entsprechenden Bohrungen 25 an der Sohle befestigt. Diese Befestigung sollte gerade so satt sein, dass die Schalenteile bezüglich der Sohle in Breitenrichtung noch verschiebbar sind. Die Breitenverstellung des Skischuhs erfolgt durch die bereits erwähnten Stellschrauben 30 und 31 sowie durch die zusätzlichen Stellschrauben 44 und 45. Zum seitlichen Abschluss können beidseitig auf die Schale noch die Abdeckplatten 46 aufgeschraubt werden, beispielsweise mittels Schrauben durch die Langlöcher 47. Alternativ können die seitlichen Abdeckplatten ebenfalls durch spezielle Kunststoffstifte mit Widerhaken befestigt werden.The shell mainly consists of four parts 36 - 39. The mutual displacement of these shell parts can be used for correct length or side adjustment. These shell parts are fastened to the sole by means of screws or rivets through the elongated holes 40, 41, 42, 43 and the corresponding bores 25. This attachment should be just enough that the shell parts can still be moved in the width direction with respect to the sole. The width of the ski boot is adjusted by means of the set screws 30 and 31 already mentioned, and by the additional set screws 44 and 45. At the end, the cover plates 46 can be screwed onto both sides of the shell, for example by means of screws through the elongated holes 47. Alternatively, the side cover plates can can also be attached with special plastic pins with barbs.

Da für die spezielle Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemässen Skischuhs ein wasserdichter und elastischer Innenschuh vorgesehen ist, braucht die Schale nicht speziell gegen Nässe abgedichtet zu werden. Für die Befestigung des Innenschuhs sind an der Schale im Zehenbereich die Oeffnung 48 und im Fersenbereich die Oeffnung 49 vorgesehen. Für den Innenschuh sind spezielle Kunststoffendstücke vorgesehen, welche durch die Oeffnungen 48 und 49 aufgenommen werden können. Der Innenschuh wird zusätzlich noch durch den Rand des Schaftes fixiert. Der Schaft wird an der Schale durch ein Gelenk befestigt, welches in den Oeffnungen 50 verankert ist. Hierzu kommt ein verstellbares oder auch ein festes Gelenk in Frage. Zur Anpassung an spezielle Fussformen wird ein verstellbares Gelenk vorgezogen. Der in der Fig. 2 nicht dargestellte Schaft kann höhenverstellbar sein, damit der Schuh vollständig an die Grösse des Benutzers angepasst werden kann. Der Skischuh besitzt ebenfalls Befestigungsvorrichtungen zum Anbringen einer Verschlussklappe. Diese Verschlussklappe wird vorzugsweise gleichzeitig am Schaft und an der Schale befestigt. Diese nicht dargestellte Verschlussklappe ist vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass eine einwandfreie Anpassung an den Fuss des Benutzers möglich ist. Dies kann beispielsweise durch eine doppelwandige Klappe erzielt werden, wobei der Abstand der beiden Wände individuell einstellbar ist.Since a waterproof and elastic inner shoe is provided for the special embodiment of the ski boot according to the invention, the shell does not need to be used specifically To be sealed wet. For fastening the inner shoe, opening 48 is provided on the shell in the toe area and opening 49 in the heel area. Special plastic end pieces are provided for the inner shoe, which can be received through openings 48 and 49. The inner shoe is additionally fixed by the edge of the shaft. The shaft is fastened to the shell by a joint which is anchored in the openings 50. An adjustable or a fixed joint can be used for this. An adjustable joint is preferred to adapt to special foot shapes. The shaft, not shown in FIG. 2, can be adjustable in height so that the shoe can be completely adapted to the size of the user. The ski boot also has fastening devices for attaching a flap. This closure flap is preferably attached to the shaft and the shell at the same time. This closure flap, not shown, is preferably designed in such a way that it can be perfectly adapted to the user's foot. This can be achieved, for example, by means of a double-walled flap, the distance between the two walls being individually adjustable.

Das in Fig. 2 dargestellte Prinzip kann selbstverständlich ebenfalls auf Skischuhe angewandt werden, deren Schalenteile gegenseitig abgedichtet sind. Hierzu wird vorzugsweise ein dünnes Schalenmaterial verwendet. In Frage kommen beispielsweise Kunststoffschalen oder Schalenteile aus Leichtmetall, beispielsweise aus einer kunststoffbeschichteten Aluminiumlegierung.The principle shown in Fig. 2 can of course also be applied to ski boots whose shell parts are mutually sealed. A thin shell material is preferably used for this. For example, plastic shells or shell parts made of light metal, for example made of a plastic-coated aluminum alloy.

Zum erfindungsgemässen Skischuh ist ein spezieller Innenschuh erforderlich, welcher dehnbar ist und welcher keinen unangenehmen Innendruck auf den Fuss ausübt. Ein solcher Innenschuh kann aus einem textilen, elastischen Material hergestellt werden. Das Material ist vorzugsweise mehrschichtig aufgebaut, wobei die äusseren Schichten aus gestricktem oder gewirktem Stoff besteht und dazwischen watteförmiges, isolierendes Material, wie beispielsweise Baumwolle, Polyester oder ähnliches, eingeschlossen ist. Das Material ist vorzugsweise gesteppt. Der aus diesem Material hergestellte Innenschuh wird mindestens teilweise mit einem wasserdichten Material beschichtet. Vorzugsweise wird dieser nur bis zum Knöchel beschichtet. Am Zehenteil und am Fersenteil befinden sich Kunststoffklappen, welche in die Oeffnungen 48 und 49 der Schale aufgenommen werden können und auch während der Verstellung in der gleichen Position bleiben. Zusätzlich wird der Innenschuh noch am oberen Rand des verstellbaren Schaftes befestigt. Im übrigen besitzt der Innenschuh im Gebiet des Schaftoberteils eine im Fachgebiet übliche Polsterung. Vorzugsweise besitzt der Innenschuh keine Lasche, da die Verschlussklappe des Skischuhs die erforderliche, verstellbare Polsterung aufweist.A special inner boot is required for the ski boot according to the invention, which is stretchable and which none uncomfortable pressure on the foot. Such an inner shoe can be made from a textile, elastic material. The material is preferably made up of multiple layers, the outer layers consisting of knitted or knitted fabric and interposed between them a cotton-like, insulating material, such as cotton, polyester or the like. The material is preferably quilted. The liner made from this material is at least partially coated with a waterproof material. It is preferably coated only up to the ankle. There are plastic flaps on the toe part and on the heel part, which can be accommodated in the openings 48 and 49 of the shell and remain in the same position even during the adjustment. In addition, the liner is attached to the upper edge of the adjustable shaft. In addition, the liner in the upper part of the upper has padding which is customary in the field. The inner boot preferably has no flap, since the closure flap of the ski boot has the necessary, adjustable padding.

In den Fig. 3 bis 5 wird ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemässen Skischuhs dargestellt. Fig. 3 zeigt die Seitenansicht, Fig. 4 eine Ansicht von hinten und Fig. 5 eine perspektivische Darstellung.3 to 5 show a further embodiment of a ski boot according to the invention. 3 shows the side view, FIG. 4 shows a view from the rear and FIG. 5 shows a perspective illustration.

Der Skischuh besitzt vier Sohlenblöcke, nämlich die hinteren Sohlenblöcke 101 und die vorderen Sohlenblöcke 102, auf welche die vier Schalenstücke 103, 104, 105 und 106 angeordnet sind. Der vordere und hintere Teil der Schalenstücke wird durch die Schalenzwischenstücke 107 und 108 verbunden, die durch verstellbare Befestigungsmittel mit den Schalenstücken verbunden sind. Der Schaft 109 ist mittels dem Gelenk 110 mit der Schale kippbar verbunden. Als Besonderheit ist zu bemerken, dass der Schaft seitlich gegen vorne ausgedehnt ist. In der Einstiegsöffnung befindet sich die gut gepolsterte Zunge 111, welche durch den Zungenbügel 112 an den Fuss gepresst wird. Der Zungenbügel ist durch die Bohrung 113 nach vorne kippbar mit der Schale verbunden. An diesem Befestigungsbügel sind mehrere Verstell- und Befestigungsstreifen für die Zunge in Querrichtung angeordnet. Vorzugsweise sind diese Streifen 114 aus einem Nylonmaterial mit einem Klettenverschluss versehen. Dadurch ist es möglich, dass der Zungenbügel zusammen mit diesen Verstell- und Befestigungsstreifen einen Druck auf die Zunge 111 ausüben kann. Durch strafferes Anziehen der Streifen 114 kann der Druck auf den Fuss, insbesondere auf die Ristgegend erhöht werden. Der Befestigungsbügel besitzt einen Nocken 115, an welchem der Verschlusshebel eingreifen kann. Der Skischuh besitzt mindestens einen Verschlusshebel 116, welcher durch eine teilweise Drehbewegung in den Nocken 115 des Zungenbügels eingreifen kann. Der Verschlusshebel ist durch die Befestigungsschraube 117, welche gleichzeitig als Drehachse für den Verschluss dient, befestigt.The ski boot has four sole blocks, namely the rear sole blocks 101 and the front sole blocks 102, on which the four shell pieces 103, 104, 105 and 106 are arranged. The front and rear parts of the shell pieces are connected by the shell intermediate pieces 107 and 108, which are connected to the shell pieces by adjustable fastening means. The shaft 109 is by means of the hinge 110 is pivotally connected to the shell. As a special feature, it should be noted that the shaft is extended laterally towards the front. The well-padded tongue 111, which is pressed against the foot by the tongue bracket 112, is located in the entry opening. The tongue bracket is connected to the shell so that it can be tilted forward through the bore 113. Several adjustment and fastening strips for the tongue are arranged in the transverse direction on this fastening bracket. These strips 114 are preferably provided with a Velcro fastener made of a nylon material. This makes it possible for the tongue bracket, together with these adjustment and fastening strips, to exert pressure on the tongue 111. By tightening the strips 114, the pressure on the foot, in particular on the instep area, can be increased. The mounting bracket has a cam 115 on which the locking lever can engage. The ski boot has at least one locking lever 116 which can engage in the cam 115 of the tongue bracket by a partial rotary movement. The locking lever is fastened by the fastening screw 117, which also serves as the axis of rotation for the locking.

Am Verschlusshebel 116 ist zusätzlich an seinem hinteren Ende der Verstellhebel 118 angebracht. Dieser Hebel ist mittels des Scharniers 119 befestigt, wobei beim Drehen der Verstellhebel in verschiedenen Stellungen einrasten kann. Auf diese Weise sind insbesondere zwei Stellungen möglich, nämlich eine rechtwinklige und eine gestreckte. In der gestreckten Einstellung hat dieser Verstellhebel keinen weiteren Einfluss auf den Schuh. Wird dieser Hebel bezüglich des Verschlusshebels 116 rechtwinklig in Richtung des Fersenteils des Schuhs umgeklappt, greift dieser Hebel 118 in eine Vorrichtung zur Blockierung des Schaftes in der Vorlagestellung ein. Diese Einrichtung besteht aus dem Gehäuse 120 für die Verstelleinrichtung, worin ein Dorn und eine Schraubenfeder auf solche Weise angeordnet ist, dass bei eingeklapptem Verstellhebel 118 eine Bewegung des Schaftes bezüglich der Schale gegen hinten nicht mehr möglich ist. Auf diese Weise befindet sich der Verstellhebel 118 zwischen dem Dorn und dem Gegenlager 121, welches eine Stellschraube 122 aufweist, wodurch im Zusammenspiel mit dem Verstellhebel eine präzise Fixierung des Schaftes möglich ist. Die geschilderte Anordnung ermöglicht es, dass der Skifahrer während der Fahrt oder beim Anstehen an einen Skilift auf einfache Weise die Blockierung des Schaftes lösen kann. Diese entblockierte Stellung ermöglicht ebenfalls ein erleichtertes Gehen mit dem Skischuh, während in Fahrstellung nur eine beschränkte Bewegungsmöglichkeit besteht. Insbesondere ist keine Bewegung nach hinten möglich.The adjusting lever 118 is additionally attached to the locking lever 116 at its rear end. This lever is fastened by means of the hinge 119, the adjusting lever being able to engage in different positions when the lever is turned. In this way, two positions in particular are possible, namely a right-angled and an extended one. In the extended position, this adjustment lever has no further influence on the shoe. If this lever is folded over at right angles with respect to the locking lever 116 in the direction of the heel part of the shoe, this lever 118 engages in a device for blocking the upper in the template. This device consists of the housing 120 for the adjusting device, in which a mandrel and a helical spring are arranged in such a way that when the adjusting lever 118 is folded in, movement of the shaft with respect to the shell towards the rear is no longer possible. In this way, the adjusting lever 118 is located between the mandrel and the counter bearing 121, which has an adjusting screw 122, which, in conjunction with the adjusting lever, enables the shaft to be fixed precisely. The arrangement described enables the skier to easily unlock the shaft while driving or standing in line at a ski lift. This unlocked position also makes it easier to walk with the ski boot, while there is only limited movement in the driving position. In particular, no rearward movement is possible.

Der Schaft weist überdies zum Einhängen des Zungenbügels 112 die gebogenen Laschen 123 auf. Diese Laschen sind auf beiden Seiten des Schaftes neben der Zunge vorhanden. Ein Spreizen des Zungenbügels erlaubt es, diesen in diese gebogenen Laschen einzuhängen. Im weiteren hat der Zungenbügel im Zusammenspiel mit den gebogenen Laschen 123 zur Folge, dass bei Vorlagedruck ein zusätzlicher Druck auf die Lasche 111 ausgeübt wird, indem der Zungenbügel durch den vordersten Teil des Schaftes nach unten gedrückt wird. Auf diese Weise erhält der Fuss in dem Moment einen besonders festen Sitz, wenn Druck auf den Ski ausgeübt wird. Dadurch wird im richtigen Moment eine aussergewöhnlich präzise Skiführung ermöglicht. Im weiteren sind die Stellschrauben 124 zur Breiteneinstellung des Schuhs ersichtlich. Vorn an den Sohlenblöcken 102 sind die Kupplungsflächen 125 und an den hinteren Sohlenblöcken 101 die Kupplungsflächen 126 ersichtlich. Diese Flächen können direkt für das Eingreifen einer Bindung dienen oder sie können mit Kupplungsstücken versehen werden, welche der Einsatz des Schuhs in eine normierte Bindung erlauben.The shaft also has the bent tabs 123 for hanging the tongue bracket 112. These tabs are on both sides of the shaft next to the tongue. Spreading the tongue bracket allows it to be hung in these curved tabs. In addition, the tongue clip in combination with the bent tabs 123 results in an additional pressure being exerted on the tab 111 when the original pressure is applied, by pressing the tongue clip downward through the foremost part of the shaft. In this way, the foot gets a particularly firm fit at the moment when pressure is exerted on the ski. This enables exceptionally precise ski guidance at the right moment. The adjusting screws 124 for adjusting the width of the shoe can also be seen. The coupling surfaces 125 on the front on the sole blocks 102 and those on the rear sole blocks 101 Coupling surfaces 126 can be seen. These surfaces can be used directly for the engagement of a binding or they can be provided with coupling pieces which allow the shoe to be used in a standardized binding.

Zur besseren Erläuterung soll zusätzlich die Fig. 4 dienen. Dabei entsprechen die Bezugszeichen den bereits im Zusammenhang mit der Fig. 3 diskutierten Teilen. Deutlich ersichtlich ist in Fig. 4 das Eingreifen des Verstellhebels 118 zwischen die beiden Teile 120 und 121, welche zur Blockierung des Schaftes bezüglich der Schale dienen. In der dargestellten Einstellung ist der Schaft blockiert, während in der ausgeklappten Stellung ein leichtes Kippen des Schaftes möglich ist, damit ist einerseits eine entspannte Fahrweise und andererseits ein leichteres Gehen möglich.4 is also to serve for a better explanation. The reference numerals correspond to the parts already discussed in connection with FIG. 3. The engagement of the adjusting lever 118 between the two parts 120 and 121, which serve to block the shaft with respect to the shell, is clearly evident in FIG. 4. In the setting shown, the shaft is blocked, while in the unfolded position the shaft can be tilted slightly, so that on the one hand a relaxed driving style and on the other hand easier walking is possible.

Aus der Fig. 5, welche eine perspektivische Darstellung ist, ist insbesondere die Anordnung des Zungenbügels 112 und sein Eingreifen in die gebogenen Laschen 123 klar ersichtlich. Unter den Bändern 114 ist die Zunge 111, nicht dargestellt) angeordnet. Je nach Form und Grösse des Schuhs können die Klettverschlussbänder 114 mehr oder weniger angezogen werden. Auch aus dieser Darstellung ist zu begreifen, dass beim Kippen des Schaftes der Zungenbügel in der Nähe seiner vorderen Befestigung nach unten gedrückt wird, was einen Druck auf das vorderste Befestigungsband 114 bewirkt, welches diesen Druck auf die Zunge überträgt. Wie in den schon vorher beschriebenen Ausführungsformen ist eine Abdichtung des Aussenschuhs nicht erforderlich, da zum Schuh ein anpassbarer und wasserdichter Innenschuh vorgesehen ist. Es wird ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass zusätzliche Verstell- und Befestigungsstreifen für die Zunge am Zungenbügel 112 angeordnet werden können. Je nach Beschaffenheit und Dicke der Zunge kann der Schuh den Bedürfnissen des Skifahrers angepasst werden.5, which is a perspective illustration, shows in particular the arrangement of the tongue bracket 112 and its engagement in the bent tabs 123. The tongue 111 (not shown) is arranged under the bands 114. Depending on the shape and size of the shoe, the Velcro straps 114 can be tightened more or less. It can also be understood from this illustration that when the shaft is tilted, the tongue bracket is pressed down in the vicinity of its front fastening, which causes a pressure on the foremost fastening band 114, which transfers this pressure to the tongue. As in the previously described embodiments, sealing the outer shoe is not necessary, since an adaptable and waterproof inner shoe is provided for the shoe. It is expressly pointed out that additional adjustment and fastening strips for the tongue are arranged on the tongue bracket 112 can be. Depending on the nature and thickness of the tongue, the shoe can be adapted to the needs of the skier.
