Definitions

  • the invention relates to a snowboard boot according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • snowboard boots There are basically two types of snowboard boots today, namely the hard-shell boots, which, like the usual ski boots, have a relatively hard, inflexible plastic shell and a padded inner shoe and the so-called soft boots, which are very soft and flexible because their outer jacket is made of textile or softer leather.
  • the hard-shell boots offer a good foot support in all directions and are usually driven with a so-called plate binding, which overlaps the sole protrusions in the toe and heel area of the boot with a strap.
  • the advantage of the good hold of these boots is bought with the disadvantage of low flexibility and unfortunately often also poor wearing comfort.
  • the boots have a relatively high weight due to the hard shell, which also reduces comfort. Due to the low flexibility, these boots are not driven by so-called freestyle riders who perform complicated jumps and other artificial figures. Instead, the freestyle riders prefer the soft boots described above, which ensure very high flexibility in all directions, are extremely comfortable and light in weight.
  • the freestyle riders prefer the soft boots described above, which ensure very high flexibility in all directions, are extremely comfortable and light in weight.
  • snowboarding it is important to load the front or back edge of the snowboard. In hard-shell boots, these forces are predominantly transmitted to the snowboard via the shin, the boot shaft, the sole of the boot and the binding without the rider's ankle joint being put under great stress. With the softer "soft boot", however, the ankle joint, the ligaments and the muscles are stressed much more than with the hard-shell boot if one of the edges is to be loaded.
  • the "soft boots” are usually only driven with so-called shell bindings, in which the binding itself has a relatively hard shell that holds the boot, which has a support, especially in the rear-facing region of the shaft, and which has the shoe with several straps that hold the front area of the shoe and the rest of the binding in place.
  • shell bindings in which the binding itself has a relatively hard shell that holds the boot, which has a support, especially in the rear-facing region of the shaft, and which has the shoe with several straps that hold the front area of the shoe and the rest of the binding in place.
  • these bindings are cumbersome to use, restrict flexibility and are relatively heavy.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a snowboard boot which, with high wearing and driving comfort and low weight, offers good foot support for loading the front or rear edge of the snowboard.
  • the boot according to the invention combines the advantages of the hard-shell boot and the soft "soft boot” without having their respective disadvantages. It is therefore also suitable to be driven with a flat binding and is therefore also suitable for driving on hard or icy slopes. In particular, it offers the high comfort of the soft boot and still the good hold of the hard-shell boot.
  • the snowboard boot 1 has a rubber sole 2, a shaft 3, a toe area 4 covering the forefoot and toes, a heel area 5 which includes the heel of the foot and an instep area 6.
  • the rear-facing rear of the shaft 3 is with the Reference numeral 7 denotes.
  • this boot is laced, for which purpose the usual eyelets 8 are provided in the front shaft area, on which the shoelace 9 (FIG. 2) is held.
  • this boot is made of soft, flexible material wzb. made of textile fabric. It is softly padded on the inside and also has a softly padded tongue 10.
  • a first belt 11 is provided, which is fastened on both sides near the sole 2 in the region of the forefoot, which in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1 has a tab 12 connected to the sole and a pivotable fastening 13, which can be a rivet, for example can be done.
  • the belt is guided around the back 7 of the shaft, in its upper area and there fixed to hooking devices 14 and 14 'in height, so that it can neither slip down towards the sole nor up to the manhole opening.
  • the belt 11 is flexible in itself, but has only very little flexibility or extensibility in its longitudinal direction, so that it supports the shaft 3 and absorbs rearward forces, such as occur when the rear edge of the snowboard is loaded, and in the forefoot area into the sole 2 initiates.
  • the suspension device 14 and 14 ' here consists of two mutually facing hooks into which the belt 11 can be hung.
  • several such hook-in devices 14, 14 ' are provided at different heights with respect to the boot sole 2, namely a total of three such hook-in devices in the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1. This allows the flexibility of the boot to be varied.
  • the belt 11 is adjustable in length, for which purpose a belt buckle 15 is provided, which is firmly connected to one part of the belt 11 and through which another part of the belt is threaded, which is then in a Belt loop 16 ends.
  • This belt loop 16 is formed so that the belt 11 is shortened by pulling in the direction of arrow 17, ie obliquely upwards.
  • a reinforcing part 18 is inserted between the shaft 3 and the belt 11 in the region of the rear of the shaft, which reinforcement part is made of harder material.
  • This reinforcing part 18 extends on the rear 7 of the shaft 3 up to the end of the shaft 3 and is guided laterally on both sides and fastened there with a rivet 19.
  • This rivet 19 also acts as a pivot bearing, so that the reinforcing part 18 can participate in limited movements of the shaft 3 and does not significantly stiffen it.
  • the primary function of the reinforcing part 18 is a larger pressure distribution.
  • a second belt 20 is provided for the pressure on the front edge of the snowboard, which is fastened in the area of the heel part 5 near the sole 2 and runs obliquely upwards over the instep area 6 on both sides. If the driver loads the forefoot to exert pressure on the front edge, the instep of the foot is also raised. This force is then transmitted from the belt 20 into the heel-side sole area and thus the binding.
  • the belt 20 is fastened in a fastening area 21 just above the sole. It can be glued, riveted or attached in some other way, for example also by threading it through an opening, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • a depression 22 is provided there, which corresponds to the width of the Belt 20 is adjusted and this fixed against slipping.
  • the length of the second belt 20 is also adjustable, specifically by means of a belt buckle 23 through which one end of the belt is threaded.
  • the free end 24 of the belt 20 is guided obliquely upwards in the direction of the instep 6, so that the belt can be shortened obliquely upwards in the direction of the arrow 25 by train.
  • the foot is held well by pressure on the instep and firmly pressed in the heel area, so that the very uncomfortable lifting of the heel inside the shoe is prevented.
  • the forces are better transferred to the sole and then to the binding.
  • the straps 11 and 20 intersect, whereby the free end 24 of the belt 20 is also held by the belt 11.
  • Fig. 2 shows the same boot from a different angle. From this figure it can also be seen that the fastening part 18 is fastened to the rivet 19 via an elongated hole, which ensures better flexibility for bending the shin forward.
  • this boot can be fastened via binding parts integrated in the sole 2 with a plate binding which is the subject of another patent application by the applicant.
  • a recess 27 is provided on the sole in the forefoot area, into which a bolt 26 extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the shoe is inserted. With this bolt, the shoe can be attached to a hook of the binding and fixed.
  • lateral latching openings 28 into which engagement parts of the binding can engage.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 show two different variants of the stiffening part 18. While in FIG. 1 the fastening via the rivet 19 takes place approximately in the middle of the reinforcing part 18, in the embodiment of FIG. 3 the fastening part is approximately L-shaped in side view , with an obtuse angle between the two legs of the "L”, the rivet 19 being attached to the lowest point of the reinforcing part. In the case of a "reserve”, the force is absorbed approximately in the middle of the boot via the belt 11 and the reinforcement part 18. In addition, this construction also offers a certain amount of support for a lateral bending of the ankle joint, which may be desired by some drivers.
  • the reinforcing part 18 is laterally guided less far around the shaft and has on its underside a U-shaped recess in which there is a stop 29 connected to the shaft 3, which, as soon as the recess of the reinforcing part 18 stops there, an additional kinking of the shaft to the rear is prevented.
  • Fig. 5 shows another variant of the belt guide. Both belts 11 and 20 are fastened here at a common point, which is designed here as an eyelet 30 and, compared to the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, is more displaced from the forefoot region to the midfoot region to the rear. 5 also shows another variant of the suspension device for the belt 11. For this purpose, sawtooth-like projections are provided on the rear of the shaft with openings 31 through which the belt 11 is threaded.
