Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a securing and adjustment device particularly usable in ski boots.
  • the vertical levers can rapidly takeup and release a selected length of a traction element, and define two distinct conditions for the ski boot: a closed position or an open position.
  • ski boots having said vertical levers have a considerable disadvantage if the skier has to walk, as for example when queuing up to gain access to ski-lifts or during a pause of his skiing activity.
  • the opening of the vertical lever which is for example adapted to secure the quarters, in fact causes the full release of the traction element and therefore the complete opening of the rear quarter, and the calf thus lacks the necessary support while walking.
  • Circular devices usually comprise a knob associated with at least one pulley for the takeup of one or more traction elements such as cables; these devices allow a fine adjustment of the degree of securing but do not have so-called “memory”, i.e. the ability to store the selected degree of securing.
  • German patent No. DE 3506057 filed on February 21, 1985, claimimg a priority of August 14, 1984, discloses a ski boot comprising a vertical lever, an essentially U-shaped element for guiding a cable being transversely pivoted proximate to the free end of said lever.
  • the rotation which can be imparted to said transmission element allows the partial opening of the rear quarter but at the same time has some disadvantages: the operation of rotating the transmission element in fact is not easy, since it is necessary to first open the vertical lever, then rotate the transmission element and subsequently close the vertical lever.
  • the arrangement of the transmission element at the free end of the vertical lever furthermore does not facilitate its grip, especially considering its use at low temperatures while the user wears gloves.
  • the presence of the transmission element at the vertical lever furthermore prevents the arrangement of further adjustment devices thereon.
  • European patent No. 0229274 filed on November 26, 1986, claimimg a priority of January 9, 1986, discloses a ski boot comprising a vertical lever which has one end pivoted to a pawl which is in turn pivoted transversely to a slider which is associated at the back of the rear quarter.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the disadvantages described above in known boots by providing a device adapted to partially release the degree of securing of the leg and/or of the foot in a rear-entry ski boot, with an easy and rapid operation for the skier.
  • an important object is to provide a device which, once it is activated, allows the skier to walk optimally, maintaining an optimum support for the calf and preventing the penetration of snow or mud into the boot.
  • Another important object is to provide a device which allows to restore, in a rapid and easy manner, the degree of securing achieved prior to the partial release of the degree of securing of the leg and/or foot.
  • Another important object is to provide an easily accessed and easily operated device.
  • Still a further object is to provide a device which associates with the preceding characteristics that of being structurally simple and easy to manufacture, as well as reliable and safe in use.
  • a securing and adjustment device particularly for ski boots, comprising a vertical lever and/or a knob, associated with at least one winder member adapted to takeup at least one traction element, characterized in that it has at least one separate means for the partial slackening of said at least one traction element, said means being activated independently of said vertical lever and/or knob.
  • the reference numeral 1 indicates a rear-entry ski boot constituted by a front quarter 3 and a rear quarter 4 associated with a shell 2.
  • a vertical lever 5 is freely pivoted at one end at the rear surface of said rear quarter and engages a first traction element which is constituted by a first cable 6, for example adapted to secure the front quarter 3 and the rear quarter 4.
  • a circular device 7 is arranged above the vertical lever 5 and is composed of a knob 8 which actuates an adapted winder which is internal to the rear quarter.
  • the winder is adapted to takeup a second traction element, such as a second cable 9, which is appropriately transmitted inside the boot and is adapted to secure a presser 10 arranged at the foot instep region 11 and/or at the heel region 12.
  • the securing and adjustment device is constituted by a separate means for the partial slackening of said first cable and/or of said second cable, said means being constituted by an auxiliary lever 13.
  • Said auxiliary lever can be advantageously articulated at one of its ends for example laterally to the front quarter or may optionally be arranged at the shell 2.
  • auxiliary lever 13 The activation of the auxiliary lever 13 is in fact independent of an actuation of the vertical or circular lever.
  • the auxiliary lever 113 is freely pivoted at one of its ends transversely to the shell 102, and an end of a single cable 114 is connected thereto; said cable 114 is conveniently transmitted inside the shell so as to embrace the foot at the instep region 111 and/or at the metatarsal region 115, and is connected, at its other end, for example to a circular device 107.
  • the auxiliary lever 13, 113 thus has the function of releasing a limited amount of the traction element or elements connected thereto, thus allowing to achieve, when it is for example combined with a vertical lever, a partial opening of the rear quarter so as to keep it adherent to the calf during walking or while waiting prior to skiing.
  • auxiliary lever 113 can allow to partially reduce the degree of securing of the quarters and/or of the foot while walking or waiting prior to skiing, no intervention being necessary for example on the circular device, which would lose the memory of the degree of securing.
  • the selected degree of securing can in fact be restored once the auxiliary lever 113 is closed.
  • the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, since the device allows the skier to achieve, in a rapid and easy manner, the partial release of one or more traction elements for the securing of the leg and/or of the foot so as to allow optimum walking.
  • the device in fact allows to maintain an optimum support for the calf, preventing the penetration of snow or mud into the boot and in any case maintaining a given securing at the foot as well.
  • the auxiliary lever 13, 113 can furthermore be arranged in a location which can be easily accessed by the skier, who can thus locate it promptly and act thereon rapidly, simply and univocally to pass from a condition of optimum closure to one which allows the skier to walk temporarily and at the same time to restore the previous optimum condition of closure.
