Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sportschuh gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a sports shoe according to the preamble of claim 1.

Der zeitgemäßen Technik des Schifahrens aber auch des Snowboardfahrens entsprechend ist eine möglichst direkte Verbindung zwischen Fuß und Sportgerät erforderlich. Insbesondere wird dies durch Sportschuhe in Schalenkonstruktion erreicht. Im Gegensatz zu den Anforderungen an den Schuh beim Schifahren ist es beim Snowboardfahren wesentlich, eine verstellbare Dämpfung der Vorneigung des Schaftes zu erzielen, wobei in anderen Belangen die gemeinsamen Eigenschaften dominieren.According to the modern technology of skiing and snowboarding, a direct connection between the foot and the sports equipment is required. In particular, this is achieved with sports shoes in a shell construction. In contrast to the requirements for the shoe when skiing, it is essential in snowboarding to achieve an adjustable damping of the forward inclination of the shaft, with the common properties dominating in other respects.

Erfahrungsgemäß beträgt allerdings die Benützungsdauer des Sportschuhes beim Schi- und Snowboardfahren nur maximal 30-40% der Gesamtbenützungsdauer. Während der verbleibenden Zeit benützt der Träger den Schuh insbesonders zum Gehen. Dies ist bei den bekannten Schuhen allerdings meist ziemlich mühsam, oder aber die verwendeten Schuhe entsprechen nicht den für das Schifahren vorgeschriebenen strengen Normen.Experience has shown, however, that the use of the sports shoe when skiing and snowboarding is only a maximum of 30-40% of the total use. During the remaining time, the wearer uses the shoe especially for walking. In the known shoes, however, this is usually rather tedious, or the shoes used do not meet the strict standards prescribed for skiing.

Aus der US-PS 4 920 665 ist ein Schischuh mit beweglichem Vorderteil bekannt, der mit der Sohle in der Bindung bleibt, wodurch der Schuh sowohl zum Alpinschifahren als auch zum Gehen mit den Schiern geeignet sein soll.From US Pat. No. 4,920,665 a ski shoe with a movable front part is known which remains in the binding with the sole, whereby the shoe is said to be suitable both for alpine skiing and for walking with skis.

Dabei sammelt sich allerdings in dem entstehenden Spalt Schnee und Eis, woraus insbesonders ein Außerbetriebsetzen der Mechanik resultieren kann. Weiters besteht kaum Bedarf an derartigen Schuhen zum Gehen mit Schiern, da dieser Bereich bereits durch sogenannte Tourenschuhe und Tourenbindungen abgedeckt ist.However, snow and ice collect in the resulting gap, which in particular can result in the mechanical system being shut down. Furthermore, there is hardly any need for such shoes for walking with skis, since this area is already covered by so-called touring shoes and touring bindings.

Die EP-A3 234 908 zeigt einen Schischuh, der im Vorderteil mittels eines Balges beweglich ist und auch arretiert werden kann, ohne jedoch eine absolute Stabilität des Schuhes in der Sicherheitsbindung zu erbringen.EP-A3 234 908 shows a ski boot that can be moved in the front part by means of a bellows and can also be locked in place, but without providing the shoe with absolute stability in the safety binding.

Die AT-PS 376 555 zeigt ebenfalls einen im Vorderteil beweglichen Sportschuh, der allerdings ebenfalls die für das Schi- bzw. Snowboardfahren notwendigen Sicherheitsnormen bezüglich Gesamtsteifigkeit des Schuhes nicht erbringen kann.AT-PS 376 555 also shows a sports shoe that can be moved in the front, but which also cannot meet the safety standards required for skiing or snowboarding with regard to the overall rigidity of the shoe.

Weiters wurde durch die EP 242 526 A1 ein Sportschuh bekannt. Bei diesem Schuh ist lediglich der Schaft gegenüber dem Unterteil beweglich, bzw. in Abhängigkeit von der Stellung einer Fixiereinrichtung, in einer bestimmten gegenseitigen Lage fixierbar. Dabei ist die Fixiereinrichtung durch einen Kniehebel gebildet, der in eine Übertotpunktlage bringbar ist, in der eine an diesem angebrachte Handhabe an dem Schaft anliegt und die Fixiereinrichtung den hinteren Bereich des Schaftes vom Unterteil abspreizt, sodaß sich der vom Schaft und dem Unterteil eingeschlossene Winkel verringert.Furthermore, a sports shoe was known from EP 242 526 A1. In this shoe, only the upper is movable relative to the lower part, or, depending on the position of a fixing device, can be fixed in a specific mutual position. The fixing device is formed by a toggle lever, which can be brought into an over-center position, in which a handle attached to it rests on the shaft and the Fixing device spreads the rear region of the shaft from the lower part, so that the angle enclosed by the shaft and the lower part is reduced.

Dabei ergibt sich jedoch der Nachteil, daß die Fixiereinrichtung in ihrer Freigabestellung relativ weit vom Schaft nach hinten zu absteht und sich daher eine erhöhte Unfallgefahr ergibt. Außerdem ist es dabei auch durchaus möglich, mit in Freigabestellung befindlicher Fixiereirrichtung z.B. in eine Schibindung einzusteigen, wobei aber dann der Schuh nicht mehr die für die Sicherheitsfunktion der Bindung erforderliche Steifigkeit aufweist. Aufgrund des steifen Unterteiles ist mit einem solchen Schuh auch bei freigegebenem Schaft ein Gehen nur erschwert möglich.However, there is the disadvantage that the fixing device in its release position protrudes relatively far from the shaft to the rear and therefore there is an increased risk of accidents. In addition, it is also entirely possible to use a fixing device in the release position, e.g. to get into a ski binding, but then the shoe no longer has the rigidity required for the safety function of the binding. Because of the stiff lower part, walking is difficult with such a shoe, even when the upper is released.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die oben genannten Nachteile zu vermeiden und einen Sportschuh der eingangs erwähnten Art vorzuschlagen, der sowohl die von den Normen geforderte Gesamtsteifigkeit als auch eine Beweglichkeit von Schaft und Unterteil aufweist, die ein problemloses Gehen mit diesem Schuh ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned above and to propose a sports shoe of the type mentioned at the outset, which has both the overall stiffness required by the standards and a mobility of the shaft and lower part, which enables problem-free walking with this shoe.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe bei einem Sportschuh der eingangs erwähnten Art durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 hervorgehobenen Merkmale.This object is achieved in a sports shoe of the type mentioned at the outset by the features emphasized in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Das im Hinterschaft bewegliche und aus diesem ragende Betätigungselement tritt beim Einstieg in die Bindung mit dieser in Kontakt, wodurch dieses bewegt wird und über die Verbindung mit der Betätigungsvorrichtung diese ebenfalls bewegt, und eine Sperre des gesamten Schuhes bewirkt. Beim Aussteigen aus der Bindung kann umgekehrterweise durch Betätigung der am Vorderschuh angeordneten Betätigungseinrichtung auch die Sperrfunktion des Betätigungselementes freigegeben werden, wodurch eine Beweglichkeit sowohl des Vorderschuhs als auch des Schaftes eintritt, und ein einfaches Gehen gewährleistet ist.The actuating element, which is movable in the buttstock and protrudes from this, comes into contact with the binding upon entry into the binding, as a result of which it is moved and, via the connection to the actuating device, also moves the latter and causes the entire shoe to be blocked. Conversely, when exiting the binding, the locking function of the actuating element can also be released by actuating the actuating device arranged on the front shoe, as a result of which both the front shoe and the shaft move, and easy walking is ensured.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe weiters dadurch, daß ein Sportschuh mit einem aus zwei gegeneinander bewegbaren Teilen bestehenden Unterteil und einem Schaft dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß einer der beweglichen Teile mit einer als Einstellelement ausgebildeten Betätigungsvorrichtung versehen ist, daß der Unterteil in seinem hinteren Bereich unterhalb des Schaftes mit einer von außen betätigbaren Heckklappe versehen ist, daß die Heckklappe über ein Verbindungsgestänge oder einen Bodenzug mit dem Einstellelement verbunden ist, und daß die Heckklappe mit mindestens einer im Sohlenbereich des Schuhs angeordneten Feder verbunden ist.The invention further solves the problem in that a sports shoe with a lower part consisting of two mutually movable parts and a shaft is characterized in that one of the movable parts is designed with an adjusting element Actuating device is provided that the lower part is provided in its rear region below the upper with a tailgate that can be actuated from the outside, that the tailgate is connected to the adjusting element via a connecting linkage or a floor cable, and that the tailgate is arranged with at least one in the sole region of the shoe Spring is connected.

Durch diese Ausbildung ist eine einfache Betätigung und Fixierung der Heckklappe möglich, wobei durch Einstieg in die Bindung eine Zwangsumschaltung erfolgt.This design enables the tailgate to be actuated and fixed easily, with forced switching taking place by entering the binding.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen 5 bis 28 geoffenbart.Further advantageous developments of the invention are disclosed in subclaims 5 to 28.

Die Erfindung wird nun im folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles unter Zuhilfenahme der angeschlossenen Zeichnungen näher beschrieben.The invention will now be described in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment with the aid of the attached drawings.

Fig.1 zeigt einen in Schalenkonstruktion hergestellten Sportschuh zum Schi- und Snowboardfahren, mit einem in zwei Abschnitte 1a, 1b unterteilten Unterteil 1, der im vorderen Bereich 1b in Höhe des Vorderfußgelenkes einen quer zur Längsachse liegenden, von der Sohle ausgehend sich nach oben zu in einem Winkel von etwa 25° öffnenden Schlitz 25 aufweist, einem Vorderschaft 2 und einem Hinterschaft 3, wobei diese Teile mit einem Achsbolzen 4 schwenkbar verbunden sind.1 shows a shell-made sports shoe for skiing and snowboarding, with a lower part 1 which is divided into two sections 1a, 1b and which, in the front area 1b at the level of the forefoot joint, extends transversely to the longitudinal axis and extends upwards from the sole Has at an angle of about 25 ° opening slot 25, a fore-end 2 and a rear stock 3, these parts being pivotally connected to an axle bolt 4.

Der Vorderschaft 2 und der Hinterschaft 3 werden durch ein übliches Spannsystem 23 geschlossen. In diese Schale ist der Innenschuh 5 eingeschoben. Der Schlitz 25 ist vorzugsweise von elastischem Material ausgefüllt.The fore-end 2 and the butt-end 3 are closed by a conventional tensioning system 23. The inner shoe 5 is pushed into this shell. The slot 25 is preferably filled with elastic material.

Im Abschnitt 1a des Unterteiles 1 ist eine Betätigungseinrichtung 9 angeordnet, mit deren Hilfe die Abschnitte 1a,1b gegeneinander beweglich oder gesperrt gehalten werden können.An actuating device 9 is arranged in section 1a of lower part 1, with the aid of which sections 1a, 1b can be kept movable or locked relative to one another.

Dazu ist die Betätigungseinrichtung, wie in Fig.5c dargestellt beispielsweise als Drehgriff 28 ausgebildet, welcher durch eine Öffnung im Schuh diesen durchstößt und an der Innenseite des Schuhs mit einer Scheibe 29 verbunden ist. Der vordere Abschnitt 1b des Unterteils ist an seiner Innenseite mit einer Wand 26 vesehen, welche sich über den mit elastischem Material versehen Bereich bis in den Abschnitt 1a erstreckt und in diesem Bereich mit einem Steg 27 versehen ist, der in eine Ausnehmung 36 des Schuhs einrasten kann. Der Drehgriff 28 ist an seiner dem Schuh zugeneigten Seite mit einer Erhebung 30 versehen, welche mit dem Steg 27 in Eingriff steht. Durch Drehen des Drehgriffs wird der Steg dabei entweder aus der Ausnehmung 36 gedrückt, wodurch die beiden Abschnitte 1a,1b gegeneinander bewegbar sind. Wird der Drehgriff in entgegengesetzter Richtung gedreht, kann durch das Zusammenwirken der Erhebung 30 mit dem Steg 27 dieser in die Ausnehmung 36 gedrückt werden, wodurch die beiden Abschnitte 1a, 1b arretiert sind und der Fußteil des Schuhes wieder die für das Schi- oder Snowboardfahren nötige Steife aufweist. Die Erhebung 30 bewegt sich dabei in einer geeigneten Ausnehmung im Schuh. Der als Drehgriff ausgebildete Griffteil kann aber beispielsweise auch als Hebel ausgebildet sein. Der Griffteil 28 ist mit der Scheibe 29 vorteilhafterweise über eine Schraube lösbar verbunden.For this purpose, the actuating device, as shown in FIG. 5c, is designed, for example, as a rotary handle 28 which pierces it through an opening in the shoe and is connected to a disk 29 on the inside of the shoe. The front section 1b of the lower part is provided on its inside with a wall 26 which extends over the area provided with elastic material to section 1a and is provided in this area with a web 27 which engages in a recess 36 of the shoe can. The twist grip 28 is provided on its side inclined towards the shoe with an elevation 30 which engages with the web 27. By turning the rotary handle, the web is either pressed out of the recess 36, as a result of which the two sections 1a, 1b can be moved relative to one another. If the twist grip is turned in the opposite direction, through the interaction of the elevation 30 with the web 27, the latter can be pressed into the recess 36, as a result of which the two sections 1a, 1b are locked and the foot part of the shoe is again necessary for skiing or snowboarding Stiff. The elevation 30 moves in a suitable recess in the shoe. The grip part designed as a twist grip can also be designed as a lever, for example. The grip part 28 is advantageously detachably connected to the disk 29 by means of a screw.

Die oben beschriebene Betätigungsvorrichtung 9 ist über eine beispielsweise als Gestänge 8 oder Bowdenzug ausgebildete Verbindung mit dem Fersenbereich des Schuhes verbunden, wobei das Gestänge auch hydraulisch oder pneumatisch betätigbar sein kann.The above-described actuating device 9 is connected to the heel area of the shoe via a connection, for example, in the form of a linkage 8 or Bowden cable, wherein the linkage can also be actuated hydraulically or pneumatically.

In diesem Bereich ist ein vorzugsweise als Heckklappe 6 ausgebildetes Betätigungselement angeordnet, welches im Schuh bewegbar befestigt ist Die Heckklappe 6 ist über eine Öffnung 31 aus dem Schuh führbar und im Bereich direkt über der Sohle im hinteren mittleren Bereich des Unterschuhs angeordnet, wobei sie im geschlossenen Zustand, das ist dann, wenn sie nicht aus dem Schuh steht, mit der Außenfläche des Schuhs bündig abschließt. Die Heckklappe 6 steht in Freistellung des Schuhs, also dann, wenn er bewegbar ist, aus dem Schuh. Beim Einsteigen in eine Schibindung wird diese Heckklappe in den Schuh gedrückt und schnappt von der Spannfeder 7 betätigt in einer Vertiefung 37 des Sohlenbereiches ein.In this area there is an actuating element, which is preferably designed as a tailgate 6 and is movably fastened in the shoe Condition, that is, when it is not out of the shoe, is flush with the outer surface of the shoe. The tailgate 6 is in the release of the shoe, that is, when it is movable, out of the shoe. When stepping into a ski binding, this tailgate is pressed into the shoe and, actuated by the tension spring 7, snaps into a recess 37 in the sole area.

Vorteilhafterweise ist die Heckklappe über das Gestänge 8 mit der Betätigungseinrichtung 9 verbunden.The tailgate is advantageously connected to the actuating device 9 via the linkage 8.

Wird nun diese Heckklappe wie oben beschrieben, von einer Sicherheitsbindung ausgelöst und durch die Spannfeder 7 in ihre Ruhestellung gebracht, so wird die Betätigungseinrichtung, welche sich ebenfalls in einem offenen Zustand befindet, durch das Gestänge 8 um ca. 65° gedreht, im Falle eines verwendeten Hebels um einen gewissen Weg verschoben, und die im Zehenteil des Unterteils angeordnete Wand 25 wird derart verschoben, daß der Steg 27 in die Ausnehmung 36 gedrückt und über die Erhebung 30 der Betätigungseinrichtung gesperrt wird. Damit ist die Sohle des Unterteiles 1 anforderungsgemäß völlig stabil.If this tailgate is triggered as described above by a safety binding and brought into its rest position by the tension spring 7, the actuating device, which is also in an open state, is rotated by the linkage 8 by approximately 65 °, in the case of a lever used moved by a certain distance, and the wall 25 arranged in the toe part of the lower part is displaced such that the web 27 is pressed into the recess 36 and locked via the elevation 30 of the actuating device. The sole of the lower part 1 is thus completely stable as required.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Betätigungsvorrichtung als Drehgriff ausgebildet und an einer Seite des Vorderschuhs angeordnet. Selbstverständlich kann für eine noch größere Stabilität des Schuhs an beiden Seiten des Vorderschuhs eine derartige Vorrichtung angeordnet werden. Die Kraftübertragung zwischen den beiden Vorrichtungen erfolgt über einen Bügel 19. Dieser Effekt kann allerdings auch durch eine Verdopplung der Verbindungsstangen oder Bowdenzüge und der Spannfeder 7 erreicht werden. Ebenfalls denkbar und praktisch erscheint eine Anordnung in der Schuhmitte.In the exemplary embodiment, the actuating device is designed as a rotary handle and is arranged on one side of the front shoe. Of course, such a device can be arranged on both sides of the front shoe for an even greater stability of the shoe. The power transmission between the two devices takes place via a bracket 19. However, this effect can also be achieved by doubling the connecting rods or Bowden cables and the tension spring 7. An arrangement in the middle of the shoe also seems conceivable and practical.

Gleichzeitig mit dem Einrasten der Heckklappe 6 rastet eine mit dieser an ihrem Oberteil verbundene elastische Nase 32 in den am Hinterschaft 3 angeordneten Aufnahmebügel 10 bzw. in einen Schlitz 33 desselben ein.Simultaneously with the latching of the tailgate 6, an elastic lug 32 connected to it on its upper part snaps into the mounting bracket 10 arranged on the rear stock 3 or into a slot 33 thereof.

Der Aufnahmebügel 10 ist Teil einer am Hinterschaft angeordneten, bzw. in diesen eingefügten Federvorrichtung 22, welche zur Vorneigung des Schaftes dient.The mounting bracket 10 is part of a spring device 22 which is arranged on or inserted into the buttstock and which serves to tilt the shaft forward.

Wenn die Nase 32 in den Schlitz 33 eingerastet ist, kann der Schaft nur mehr über das Federelement 22 nach vorne geneigt werden. Damit ist die Stellung sowohl zum Schi- als auch Snowboardfahren hergestellt.When the nose 32 is snapped into the slot 33, the shaft can only be tilted forward via the spring element 22. The position for skiing and snowboarding is established.

Soll der Sportschuh anschließend zum Gehen verwendet werden, so braucht der Drehgriff 28 lediglich wieder um ca.65° in die Offen-Stellung gedreht zu werden ( in Fig.5b mit bezeichnet). Dieser Winkel hängt im wesentlichen allerdings vom Übersetzungsverhältnis ab und kann je nach Anlenkung der Anordnung variieren. Es wird also über die Verbindungsstange 8 oder einen Bowdenzug die Heckklappe 6 nach hinten aus dem Schuh geschoben, die Spannfeder 7 gespannt und rastet an zwei im unteren Bereich der Heckklappe angeordneten Noppen im Unterteil 1 ein. Die federnde Nase 27 wird dabei aus der Verbindung mit dem Aufnahmebügel 10 gezogen. Die Betätigungsvorrichtung 9 schiebt den Steg 27 aus der Ausnehmung 36 und verhindert durch die Erhebung 30 das Einrasten des Steges.If the sports shoe is then to be used for walking, the twist grip 28 only needs to be turned again by approximately 65 ° to the open position (labeled in Fig. 5b). However, this angle essentially depends on the transmission ratio and can vary depending on the articulation of the arrangement. The tailgate 6 is thus pushed back out of the shoe via the connecting rod 8 or a Bowden cable, the tension spring 7 is tensioned and engages in two knobs arranged in the lower region of the tailgate in the lower part 1. The resilient nose 27 is pulled out of the connection with the mounting bracket 10. The actuating device 9 pushes the web 27 out of the recess 36 and prevents the web from engaging by means of the elevation 30.

Damit ist der Sportschuh voll beweglich und zum Gehen, Laufen oder auch Stiegensteigen geeignet.This makes the sports shoe fully flexible and suitable for walking, running or climbing stairs.

Die Ausbildung der Federeinrichtung 22 ist insbesondere in den Fig.6a,b dargestellt.The design of the spring device 22 is shown in particular in FIGS. 6a, b.

Nach der in Fig.6b gezeigten Explosionszeichnung umfaßt die im Hinterschaft 3 angeordnete Federeinrichtung eine Mittelfeder 11, ein inneres Federpaar 12, einen Innenbügel 13, ein äußeres Federpaar 14, einen Außenbügel 15, sowie den Aufnahmebügel 10, an welchem die Federn in ihrem unteren Bereich angeordnet sind. Die Mittelfeder 11 ist mit ihrem oberen Ende mit dem Hinterschaft 3 verbunden, das innere und äußere Federpaar mit den entsprechenden Bügeln 13, 15. Zur Spannung der Federn, d.h. zur Erzielung verschiedener Härteeinstellungen zur Dämpfung des Schaftes ist im Hinterschaft 3 ein Verstellhebel 16 angeordnet, der die Federeinrichtung 22 mit einer Achse 34 durchsetzt, an welcher Nocken 35 zur Betätigung der Federn angeordnet sind.According to the exploded view shown in FIG. 6b, the spring device arranged in the rear stock 3 comprises a central spring 11, an inner pair of springs 12, an inner bracket 13, an outer pair of springs 14, an outer bracket 15, and the receiving bracket 10, on which the springs in their lower region are arranged. The upper end of the middle spring 11 is connected to the butt stock 3, the inner and outer pair of springs with the corresponding brackets 13, 15. An adjustment lever 16 is arranged in the butt stock 3 for tensioning the springs, ie for achieving different hardness settings for damping the shaft. which passes through the spring device 22 with an axis 34 on which cams 35 are arranged for actuating the springs.

Diese Einstellung verschiedener Härten ist insbesondere dann interessant, wenn der Sportschuh zum Snowboardfahren verwendet wird.This setting of different hardness is particularly interesting when the sports shoe is used for snowboarding.

Bei der oben beschriebenen Anordnung der Federn ist das innere Federpaar 12 an seinem oberen Bereich vorerst lose im Innenbügel 13 eingehängt. Wird nun der im Hinterschaft drehbar gelagerte Verstellhebel 16 in eine in Fig.8b dargestellte Position gebracht, so blockieren die beiden auf der Achse 34 angeordneten Nocken 35, vorzugsweise Hakenexzenter, den Innenbügel 13, wobei damit das innere Federpaar 12 zusätzlich zur Mittelfeder 11 unter Spannung steht. Das äußere Federpaar 14 ist in seinem oberen Bereich im Außenbügel 15 fixiert, der in dieser Stellung an der Mittelfeder 11 und dem inneren Federpaar 12 vorbeigleitet. Wird der Verstellhebel 16 in eine Stellung nach Fig. 8c geschaltet, so blockieren zwei weitere an der Achse angeordnete, vorzugsweise als Hakenexzenter ausgebildete Nokken den Außenbügel 15, der seinerseits nun auch den Innenbügel 13 blockiert. Dadurch sind sowohl die Mittelfeder 11, das innere Federpaar 12 und das äußere Federpaar 14 unter Spannnung.In the arrangement of the springs described above, the inner pair of springs 12 is initially loosely suspended in the inner bracket 13 at its upper region. If the adjusting lever 16, which is rotatably mounted in the butt stock, is now brought into a position shown in FIG. 8b, the two cams 35, preferably hook eccentrics, arranged on the axis 34 block the inner bracket 13, with the inner pair of springs 12 in addition to the central spring 11 being under tension stands. The outer pair of springs 14 is fixed in its upper region in the outer bracket 15, which in this position slides past the central spring 11 and the inner pair of springs 12. If the adjusting lever 16 is switched to a position according to FIG. 8c, two further cams arranged on the axis and preferably designed as hook eccentrics block the outer bracket 15, which in turn now also blocks the inner bracket 13. As a result, both the middle spring 11, the inner pair of springs 12 and the outer pair of springs 14 are under tension.

Es sind also durch Umschalten des Verstellhebels verschiedene Spannungen des Schaftes erzielbar. Dies bedeutet gleichzeitig verschiedene Härten der Dämpfung der Vorneigung des Schaftes 2,3.Different tensions of the shaft can thus be achieved by switching the adjusting lever. At the same time, this means different hardnesses of damping the forward inclination of the shaft 2, 3.

Die oben beschriebenen Federn können auch durch Gummibänder, hydraulische oder pneumatische Elemente ersetzt werden.The springs described above can also be replaced by rubber bands, hydraulic or pneumatic elements.

Die beiden Abschnitte 1a,1b des Unterteiles können auch über einen Bolzen 20 schwenkbar sein. Es ist auch möglich, eine Lagerung an den beiden Teilen gleich bei der Fertigung mitzuspritzen.The two sections 1a, 1b of the lower part can also be pivotable via a pin 20. It is also possible to inject a bearing on the two parts at the same time during production.

Die Federeinrichtung 22 kann auch nur aus einem Federpaar 17 bestehen, das an seinem unteren Ende im Aufnahmebügel 10 und an seinem oberen Ende im Hinterschaft 3 befestigt ist. Diese Variante ist dann eben nur zum Schifahren geeignet. In Fig.7 ist eine völlige Entlastung des Schaftes dargestellt. Dazu wird am Hinterschaft 3 an dessen unterem Ende ein diesen Zustand bewirkender Hebel 18 angeordnet, der manuell ein- bzw. ausgeschaltet werden kann.The spring device 22 can also consist of only one pair of springs 17, which is fastened at its lower end in the mounting bracket 10 and at its upper end in the butt stock 3. This variant is only suitable for skiing. A complete relief of the shaft is shown in FIG. For this purpose, a lever 18 which causes this state is arranged on the buttstock 3 at its lower end and can be switched on and off manually.

In einer nur zum Snowboardfahren geeigneten Variante des Sportschuhes ist die Heckklappe 6 derart modifiziert, daß sie nicht aus dem Sportschuh austritt, sondern sich nur mehr im Inneren der Schale befindet. Die Drehung der Betätigungseinrichtung 9 kann dabei durch einen im Drehpunkt des Schaftes 2,3 angeordneten Schalthebel 21 durchgeführt werden (Fig.9).In a variant of the sports shoe which is only suitable for snowboarding, the tailgate 6 is modified such that it does not come out of the sports shoe, but is only inside the shell. The rotation of the actuating device 9 can be carried out by a switching lever 21 arranged in the pivot point of the shaft 2, 3 (FIG. 9).
