Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an improved watertight ski boot comprising a shell with overlapping flaps and in which watertightness is improved.
- The problem of reducing the infiltration of water in the ski boots during sports practice is strongly felt: in the ski boot shells, the overlap of the flaps in fact does not eliminate the possibility of water infiltrations inside the boot.
- The flaps are in fact made of relatively rigid material, and during use undergo mutual sliding movements that lead to the forming of small openings, especially along the edges of the flaps.
- As a partial solution to these drawbacks it is known to apply a rubber or plastic block, especially at the transverse edges of the flaps, which has the purpose of creating a mechanical obstacle against the flow of water from the toe to the flaps during sports practice.
- Watertight sealing devices are also known which are constituted by two separate inserts applied separately on different edges of the flaps of the shell; one of the two inserts is arranged at a longitudinal edge of a flap.
- The second insert is in turn constituted by two parts: one is inserted at the transverse edges of the flaps of the shell, whereas the other one is associated transversely to the first one toward the toe of the ski boot.
- Even this known solution, illustrated in Italian patent no. 1,039,942 filed on 18 July 1975, has drawbacks: first of all there are three components which must be partially assembled to one another and to the shell, and secondly the interaction of all these components with one another and with the flaps still does not ensure optimum watertightness between them.
- In any case, all these solutions have the additional drawback of allowing considerable water infiltration once the shell closing levers have been disengaged, for example to allow the skier to walk.
- In such conditions, the flaps no longer interact with one another, thus forming wide gaps for water infiltration.
- An aim of the present invention is to solve the described technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the prior art and providing a ski boot which allows optimum tightness against water infiltrations in ski boots that comprise a shell with overlapping flaps.
- Another object is to provide a ski boot which is structurally simple and equally simple to industrialize.
- Another important object is to provide a ski boot which is reliable and safe in use and thus ensures watertightness both during sports practice and if the skier loosens the levers in order to walk.
- Another object is to provide a ski boot having low manufacturing costs.
- This aim, these objects and others which will become apparent hereinafter are achieved by an improved watertight ski boot, comprising a shell with overlapping flaps, characterized in that at least one of said flaps has an elastically deformable tab that is at least partially folded toward the other flap.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of some embodiments thereof, given by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- figure 1 is a front view of a ski boot with the shell provided with overlapping flaps;
- figure 2 is a cross section view of the shell;
- figures 3 and 4 are views, similar to the preceding one, of two shells respectively according to a second and third aspects of the invention;
- figure 5 is a front view of a ski boot according to a further aspect of the invention;
- figures 6-9 are cross section views of the shell according to different aspects of the invention;
- figure 10 is a cross section partial view of a detail of a shell according to still a further aspect of the invention.
- With reference to the above figures, the reference numeral 1 designates the ski boot comprising a shell 2 provided with a
first flap 3 and with asecond flap 4 which mutually overlap in normal use while skiing by means of adapted levers, not shown in the figure. - As shown in figure 2, a
tab 6 is formed on thelateral edge 5 of thefirst flap 3 and is folded toward the inside of the shell in the direction of thesecond flap 4. - The
tab 6 forms, when inactive, an acute angle with the internallateral surface 7 of thefirst flap 3. - When the first and second flaps overlap, once the necessary levers have been secured, the
tab 6 can be partially or fully accommodated within an adaptedseat 8 formed longitudinally with respect to thesecond flap 4. - The use of the invention is thus as follows: when the first and second flaps overlap, during sports practice, the
tab 6 improves the seal between the first flap and the second flap by virtue of its deformability. - If the skier stops skiing and loosens the levers to walk, the unavoidable mutual separation of the lateral edges of the first and second flaps is compensated by the
tab 6, which still interacts with the second flap and forms a sealing region again by virtue of its elastic deformation. - It has thus been observed that the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, since a ski boot with overlapping flaps has been obtained in which tightness between said flaps is ensured both during sports practice and while walking.
- The ski boot according to the invention is naturally susceptible to numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the same inventive concept.
- Thus, for example, a shell 102 is illustrated which has a
first flap 103 and asecond flap 104 that can mutually overlap. - An elastically
deformable tab 106 protrudes toward the overlyingfirst flap 103 at thelateral edge 105 of thesecond flap 104. - Said
tab 106 forms an acute angle with the outerlateral surface 109 of thesecond flap 104, and its outward edge interacts with the inner lateral surface 107 of the first flap 102. - This second solution also allows to maintain excellent tightness while walking.
- Figure 4 illustrates a
shell 202 comprising afirst flap 203 and asecond flap 204 that mutually overlap. - A
tab 206 protrudes toward thefirst flap 203 at thelateral edge 205 of thesecond flap 204 and forms an obtuse angle with the outerlateral surface 209 of thesecond flap 204. - The outward edge of the
tab 206 instead interacts with the innerlateral surface 207 of thefirst flap 203. - In this condition, too, the
tab 206 is elastically deformable, in that its free edge tends to maintain contact with the innerlateral surface 207 of thefirst flap 203. - Figures 5 and 6 illustrate a
ski boot 301 whereinflaps rivets 333. - The
first flap 303 has atab 306 formed at the edge 305 and, similarly to the embodiment illustrated in figures 1 and 2, thetab 306 can be arranged in an adaptedseat 308 provided at thesecond flap 304. - Figure 7 illustrates a shell similar to the embodiment illustrated in figure 3, wherein, however, the
flaps rivets 433. - Figure 8 illustrates a
shell 502 having afirst flap 503 and asecond flap 504 associated therewith by means ofrivets 533. Thefirst flap 503 has atab 506 which is adapted to be arranged in aseat 508 provided at thesecond flap 504, similarly to the embodiments illustrated in figures 2 and 6. In this case however thetab 506 is not provided at the edge of the flap but rather at a distance therefrom. - Figure 9 illustrates a
shell 602 having afirst flap 603 and asecond flap 604. Flap 604 has atab 606 projecting outward and provided at a distance from theedge 605 of thesecond flap 604. - Figure 10 illustrate a detail of a shell having a
first flap 703 and asecond flap 704. Thefirst flap 703 has anoutward projecting tab 706 adapted to engage thesecond flap 704 in a manner similar to that of the embodiment shown in figure 3, for example. Aborder member 707, made of rubber for example, is provided at theedge 705 of thesecond flap 704 to improve the sealing action. - The materials and the dimensions constituting the individual components of the ski boot may naturally be the most pertinent according to the specific requirements.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the scope of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
