Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ski boot.
  • Conventional ski boots are manufactured according to three different structures: a shell formed by a rigid body, with which a front quarter and a rear quarter are associated; an overlap-style shell, with which a single quarter is associated and has front flaps that can partially mutually overlap and interact with closure means such as levers; and overlap-style shells with which a front quarter and a rear quarter are associated.
  • Patent EP 0172158 discloses a ski boot having a rear part that can be tilted down or folded, for rear-entry foot insertion, and comprises a lower part (shell) made of synthetic material and a portion of upper that is constituted by a quarter that can be orientated with respect to the shell.
  • This ski boot is characterized in that the shell is provided, with respect to the quarter, with a slit in the region that is directed towards the tip and runs transversely to the central-longitudinal plane of the boot, and with a flap that is directed towards the tip above the slit and also passes transversely with respect to the central-longitudinal plane of the boot, in which the free end region can be locked at various distances that are normal with respect to the orientation axis that passes through the shell.
  • This solution substantially has one drawback: if the user needs to walk, for example to reach the ski-lifts, he has to fully open the fastening levers.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the described technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the prior art by providing a ski boot that in addition to allowing optimum adjustment of the closure of the quarters and of the shell, allows the user to temporarily achieve a substantially vertical position for the leg quickly and easily, at the same time being able to restore the desired degree of fastening of the quarters.
  • an important object is to provide a ski boot in which, during the substantially vertical position that can be assumed by the leg, which is adapted to allow optimum walking, the foot can remain optimally fastened in the shell.
  • Another important object is to provide a ski boot which, in addition to allowing to achieve a temporary condition that is appropriate for walking, at the same time prevents the foot from slipping out.
  • Another important object is to provide a ski boot that allows the skier's leg to stay in a substantially vertical position while keeping fastening elements, such as levers arranged transversely to the quarters, in the closed position.
  • Another object is to provide a ski boot that combines with the preceding characteristics that of being reliable and safe in use and having low manufacturing costs.
  • a ski boot that comprises an overlap-style shell or a shell with a rigid body and at least one quarter, characterized in that said at least one quarter is constituted by a first element and by a second element that are asymmetrical with respect to the longitudinal median plane of said shell and can mutually partially overlap.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates a ski boot, which is constituted by a shell 2, of the overlap style or with a rigid body.
  • Shell 2 has at least one closure point in the instep region 2, and/or in the metatarsal region.
  • the boot also comprises a quarter 4 that is constituted by a first element 5 and by a second element 6 that partially surround the user's leg.
  • First element 5 is articulated to shell 2 at a first pair of studs 7 located approximately at the malleolar region. First element 5 is asymmetrical with respect to the longitudinal median plane of the shell 2.
  • first element 5 surrounds the user's leg over at least 270 o .
  • First element 5 also has a body 8 that surrounds the rear part of the user's leg and from which there protrudes a first tab 9, which fully surrounds the front region 10 of the user's leg, partially affecting the internal lateral region 11 thereof.
  • a second tab 12 protrudes from body 8 in the opposite direction with respect to first tab 9 and also partially affects the inner lateral region 11 of the leg and is arranged so as to face the end of first tab 9, so as to form an opening 13 between said two tabs.
  • Second element 6 is articulated, by means of a second stud 14, at second tab 12 and externally partially overlaps second tab 12 and first tab 9, thus closing opening 13.
  • second element 6 can of course be articulated to shell 2 at second stud 14; in this case there is no second tab 12.
  • Second element 6 also has a free end 15, with which adapted levers 16 are associated.
  • Levers 16 can be fastened at first tab 9, of first element 5, at the outer lateral region 17 of the user's leg.
  • Second element 6 is also connected to shell 2 by means of an adapted third stud 18 that is slideable at an adapted first slot 19 that is formed transversely to shell 2 at opening 13, between said first and second elements.
  • adapted interconnection means which are constituted by a traction element, such as a cable 20, which is associated, at a first end 21, at the end of second element 6 that lies opposite to end 15.
  • Cable 20 then passes outside first element 5 and affects adapted tensioning devices 22, such as a rear lever 23, and is then guided outside first element 5 and, through an adapted opening 24 formed thereon, is associated with a rivet 25 that is slideable in an adapted second slot 26 that is formed transversely to shell 2, preferably on the opposite side with respect to first slot 19.
  • the first element can oscillate about the first pair of studs 7, moving away from second element 6, since the rotation of rear lever 23 makes a preset portion of cable 20 available.
  • first element 5 allows to arrange said first element in an approximately vertical position, thus allowing the user to walk comfortably although the first element and the second element remain mutually associated, the levers being still closed at said elements and at the shell.
  • first element 5 The backward rotation of first element 5 is limited by the fact that third stud 18 and rivet 25 slide at first slot 19 and at second slot 26 and can thus perform a clearly defined movement.
  • Transition from the walking condition to the skiing condition is equally fast and easy; the latter condition can be achieved with the desired and preset degree of fastening for the levers.
