Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ski boot, comprising a shell with overlapping flaps to which at least one quarter is articulated and with which a soft innerboot can be internally associated.
  • the shell is obtained by injection-molding thermoplastic material, which has a given degree of rigidity, this operation is not easy, also because the user is usually wearing gloves in this situation.
  • the quarter is usually secured at the upper overlap region of the shell flaps, creating further difficulties for inserting the foot due to the presence of the flaps of the quarter, which must also be kept open.
  • the principal aim of the present invention is therefore to solve the described technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the mentioned prior art, by providing a ski boot, comprising at least one quarter articulated to a shell having overlapping flaps and comprising a soft innerboot, that allows the skier to rapidly and easily insert his foot inside said innerboot.
  • an important object is to provide a ski boot which allows optimum foot insertion even in case of low temperatures and if the user is wearing gloves.
  • Another important object is to provide a ski boot which allows to achieve optimum distribution of efforts at the metatarsal region.
  • Another object is to provide a ski boot which associates with the preceding characteristics that of allowing to vary its technical characteristics without specific mechanical devices.
  • Another object is to provide a ski boot which is structurally simple and has low manufacturing costs.
  • a ski boot comprising at least one quarter articulated to a shell having overlapping flaps and a soft innerboot, characterized in that it further comprises a semirigid tab that can be gripped by the user and is at least partially interposed between said innerboot and said flaps.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates the ski boot, which comprises a shell 2 having a first flap 3 and a second flap 4 which can be moved mutually apart and can be mutually overlapped and secured by conventional fastening means, such as levers for example, during use.
  • At least one quarter 5 is articulated to the shell 2 and has a third flap and a fourth flap which can be secured at the first and second flaps by conventional means, such as levers for example.
  • a soft innerboot 6 is arranged inside the shell 2 and is provided with a tongue 7 at the front.
  • One end of the tongue is associated with the innerboot 6 approximately at the toe region, so as to allow it to shift forwards during foot insertion.
  • the ski boot comprises a tab 8 made of semirigid material and interposed between the tongue 7 of the innerboot 6 and the first 3 and second 4 flaps of the shell 2.
  • the tab 8 can be rigidly coupled to the shell 2 at one end, preferably proximate to the toe region, where it can protrude for better locking of the assembly.
  • said tab 8 has, proximate to its upper perimetric edge 9, a grip means for the user, such as an opening 10 formed transversely to said tab.
  • the user can in fact grip the tab at its opening so as to move the first flap 3 and the second flap 4 mutually apart simply by applying forward traction to said tab.
  • the opening out of the first and second flaps is assigned to a passive element which by virtue of its shape and arrangement allows to easily achieve this opening when the user simply grips said element and applies a slight effort to it.
  • a second aspect of the present invention is the fact that if the quarter 5 is articulated to the shell 2 by virtue of suitable studs 11 that are slideable within suitable first slots 12 formed on said shell, so as to obtain a quarter 5 whose height is adjustable, a boot is obtained in which it is possible to vary the flexibility simply by varying the height of said quarter.
  • a ski boot having been provided that allows the user to rapidly and easily open out the flaps of the shell, so as to insert his foot in the innerboot rapidly and easily.
  • figure 6 shows a ski boot 101 in which the tab 108 is associated not only with the shell 102 at one of its ends but also with the tongue 107 of the innerboot 106.
  • this connection occurs proximate to the opening 110 and can be achieved by providing a suitable second slot 113 formed longitudinally with respect to the tab 108; a first lug 114 is slidingly associated at the second slot, is rigidly coupled to the underlying tongue 107, and protrudes therefrom.
  • said means can be constituted for example by a suitable wing 115 which protrudes from the perimetric edge 116 of the first flap 103 towards the second flap 104.
  • a suitable third slot 117 is formed transversely to the shell 102 on said wing, and a second lug 118, which is rigidly coupled to the outer surface of the second flap 104 and protrudes therefrom, is selectively slideable at said third slot.
  • Figure 7 also shows means for temporarily locking the position of the tab 108 with respect to the first flap 103 and the second flap 104.
  • These means are preferably constituted by one or more notches 119 formed at the lateral edges 120 of said tab 108.
  • Said notches can in fact be arranged selectively at the upper edge 121 of the shell or at the lateral edges 122 of the first and second flaps, so as to allow to keep the tab 108 in the chosen open position.
  • FIGS 8-9 show a ski boot 201, according to a further aspect of the invention, comprising a waterproof seal member 220, arranged between the first flap 203 and the semirigid tab 208.
  • the waterproof seal member 220 is preferably made of rubber, or other resilient material, and prevents water from infiltrating the boot.
  • FIGS 10-11 show a ski boot 301, according to still a further aspect of the invention, comprising a waterproof seal member 320, arranged between the first flap 303 and the semirigid tab 308, as in the boot of figures 8-9.
  • the waterproof seal member 320 also has a fastening member 321 for fastening the seal member 320 to the shell.
  • the fastening member 321 is illustrated as a mushroom-shaped projection inserted in an adapted hole in the shell but it can also be a rivet or similar.
  • the upper head of the rivet would have to be waterproofed to prevent water infiltration.
  • the materials and the dimensions of the components of the structure, as well as the number of notches and the position of the second slot 113 and of the wing 115, may of course be the most pertinent according to the specific requirements.
