The device consists of a small plate 5 which can be used as a screwdriver and which is fastened to a band 3, belt or the like serving to close or hold together the upper end of the ski boot upper part or the cuff 2. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur Betätigung von Verstell-, Befestigungs- od. dgl. Elementen bei Skischuhen und Skibindungen.The invention relates to a device for actuating adjusting, fastening or the like elements in ski boots and ski bindings.

Zum Anziehen oder Lockern von Verstell- oder Befestigungselementen bei Skischuhen oder Skibindungen werden Schraubenzieher, Münzen oder plättchenförmige Werkzeuge verwendet, welche in Schlitze von Schraubenköpfen, Verstellementen od. dgl. einsetzbar sind. Häufig werden derartige kleine Werkzeuge mitgeliefert, welche in einem hierzu bestimmten Täschchen des Skischuhes aufbewahrt werden können oder der Skifahrer bei sich tragen muß. Alle Einrichtungen dieser Art haben den Nachteil, daß sie in Verlust geraten können, beim Benützen in den Schnee fallen oder einfach vergessen werden mitgenommen zu werden.To tighten or loosen adjustment or fastening elements in ski boots or ski bindings, screwdrivers, coins or plate-like tools are used, which can be inserted into slots in screw heads, adjustment elements or the like. Often such small tools are included, which can be kept in a designated pocket of the ski boot or which the skier must carry with them. All devices of this type have the disadvantage that they can be lost, fall into the snow when used or simply forgotten to be taken away.

Die Erfindung stellt sich zur Aufgabe, hierzu Abhilfe zu schaffen und schlägt eine Einrichtung zur Betätigung von Verstell-, Befestigungs- od. dgl. Elementen bei Skischuhen und Skibindungen vor, bei welcher erfindungsgemäß an einem zum Schließen oder Zusammenhalten des oberen Endes des Skischuhoberteiles bzw. der Manschette dienenden Band, Gurt od. dgl. ein zur Betätigung der Elemente dienendes Werkzeug, z.B. ein als Schraubenzieher am Schuh oder auf der Bindung einsteckbares Plättchen, ein Imbusschlüssel, eine Imbusschraube od. dgl. befestigt ist.The object of the invention is to remedy this and proposes a device for actuating adjusting, fastening or similar elements in ski boots and ski bindings, in which, according to the invention, one for closing or holding together the upper end of the upper part of the ski shoe or the cuff-serving band, belt or the like. a tool for actuating the elements, for example a plate which can be inserted as a screwdriver on the shoe or on the binding, an Allen key, an Allen screw or the like is fastened.

Vorzugsweise ist das Werkzeug, z.B. Plättchen, am freien Ende des Bandes, Gurtes od. dgl. mit Kunststoff befestigt, z.B. angeschweißt. Dies hat bei Verwendung von Klettenverschlußbändern den Vorteil, daß häufig vorkommendes Ausfransen des Bandendes verhindert wird.Preferably the tool, e.g. Plate, attached to the free end of the band, belt or the like with plastic, e.g. welded on. When using Velcro fastener tapes, this has the advantage that frequent fraying of the tape end is prevented.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes dargestellt.In the drawing, an embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is shown.

Es zeigen

  • Fig. 1 einen Skischuh mit der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung in Seitenansicht und
  • Fig. 2 ein Endstück eines Bandes mit aufgeschweißtem Plättchen.
Show it
  • Fig. 1 shows a ski boot with the device according to the invention in side view and
  • Fig. 2 shows an end piece of a tape with a welded plate.

In Fig. 1 bezeichnet 1 eine Schale eines Skischuhes, welcher aus einem inneren und einem äußeren Schuh besteht, welch letzterer die Schale und eine auf dieser angelenkte Manschette 2 aufweist, welche vorne offen und durch ein Band 3 mit einem Klettenverschluß verschließbar ist. Am freien Ende des Bandes 3 ist ein Plättchen 5 vorgesehen, welches so geformt ist, daß es als Schraubenzieher verwendet werden kann. Im vorliegenden Fall ist das Plättchen 5 mittels einer Kunststoffmanschette 6 am Band 3 befestigt, welche z.B. durch Spritzen, Umgießen etc. angebracht werden kann. Das Band 3 ist am äußeren Schuh gehalten und im offenen Zustand so lang, daß das Plättchen 5 als Schraubenzieher überall am Schuh oder an der Bindung einsetzbar ist, um Schrauben zu verstellen.In Fig. 1, 1 denotes a shell of a ski boot, which consists of an inner and an outer shoe, the latter having the shell and a cuff 2 articulated thereon, which is open at the front and can be closed by a band 3 with a Velcro fastener. At the free end of the band 3, a plate 5 is provided, which is shaped so that it can be used as a screwdriver. In the present case, the plate 5 is attached to the belt 3 by means of a plastic sleeve 6, which e.g. can be attached by spraying, casting, etc. The band 3 is held on the outer shoe and in the open state so long that the plate 5 can be used as a screwdriver anywhere on the shoe or on the binding to adjust screws.

Selbstverständlich können im Rahmen der Erfdindung verschiedene konstruktive Abänderungen vorgenommen werden. So kann beispielsweise anstelle eines Plättchens ein anderes Werkzeug zur Betätigung von Verstell-, Befestingungs- od. dgl. Elementen verwendet werden, wie z.B. ein Imbussschlüssel, eine Imbusschraube, ein Kreuzschlüssel oder ein ähnliches Werkzeug.Of course, various design changes can be made as part of the invention. For example, instead of a plate, another tool can be used to actuate adjusting, fastening or similar elements, such as an Allen key, an Allen screw, a cross wrench or a similar tool.
