Definitions

  • This invention concerns an outer tongue to cover flaps on ski boots, as set forth in the main claim.
  • the invention is applied to the field of sports footwear and, to be more exact, to the embodiment of ski boots of a type with a plurality of clasps and/or of a type having the frontal flaps overlapping.
  • Boots have therefore been disclosed to overcome this problem that include an inner central tongue which extends to the leg of the boot and which is overlapped by the lateral flaps.
  • this tongue can be associated with the inner shoe inserted into the upper or can be associated directly with the upper.
  • This tongue not only does not ensure a correct clamping of the instep of the foot but also does not ensure the desired hydraulic seal of the boot, and therefore water infiltrates into the boots of the state of the art.
  • Embodiments which include an outer tongue to cover flaps which is positioned above so as to overlap and cover the lateral flaps (see in particular FR-A-2.693.085 and FR-A-1.587.712).
  • WO-A-92 16120 also discloses an embodiment in which the longitudinal position of the tongue can be adjusted in relation to the upper of the boot.
  • the purpose of this invention is to provide a ski boot which makes possible a comfortable use of the boot even with very low temperatures or with wet socks, a correct clamping of the instep of the foot and a good hydraulic seal against external factors.
  • the boot according to the invention comprises at least two lateral flaps cooperating on their upper side with a central outer tongue secured resiliently in the vicinity of the point of the upper of the boot and extending so as to cooperate with the zone of the leg of the boot.
  • This central tongue cooperates outwardly with closure and clamping clasps which, when closed, not only bring the tongue into intimate contact with the lateral flaps, thus closing the boot hermetically, but also thrust the flaps and the inner shoe of the boot so as to adhere to the instep of the foot.
  • the flaps In the closed position the flaps may be contiguous or at least partly overlapping.
  • the tongue is secured laterally in a resilient manner on only one side to the upper of the boot so as to make possible, during the steps of putting on/taking off the boot, an opening movement which leaves a great space for access for the insertion/removal of the foot into/from the upper itself.
  • the tongue advantageously has an asymmetrical conformation defining a specially shaped portion at the side opposite to the anchorage side.
  • the central tongue is fitted at its front end so as to be able to slide axially in the vicinity of the point of the upper of the boot, so that the tongue can slide longitudinally when the upper of the boot is closed by the clamping clasps, thus causing the tongue to thrust the flaps and the inner shoe into intimate contact at least with the instep of the foot of the user.
  • the upper of the boot on which the tongue is rested includes on its upper side abutment means which oppose longitudinal displacement and which cooperate with abutment means of a mating form included in the central tongue.
  • abutment means ensure correct positioning of the tongue also during oscillation of the leg of the boot in the forward-backward plane of the boot.
  • the forward inclination of the leg of the skier causes the central tongue to slide axially forwards, and the progressive resistance exerted by the abutment means prevents its uncontrolled forward displacement, which would lead to a resulting insufficient control of the movement.
  • the abutment means therefore ensure a progressive and controlled axial sliding of the central tongue.
  • the boot according to the invention always ensures a correct control of the movement and a correct distribution of the stresses.
  • the reference number 10 in the figures denotes generally a ski boot comprising lateral flaps 11, in this case 11a, 11b and 11c, which are positioned side by side to close the instep of the foot of the skier.
  • the flaps 11a and 11c are partly superimposed on each other so as to close from above a half-arc of the upper 13 of the boot 10, while the flap 11b is arranged to close from above the other half-arc of the upper 13.
  • the two flaps 11a, 11b are partly superimposed on each other (Fig.2b) in the closed position.
  • the ski boot 10 comprises a central tongue 12 associated with the upper 13 of the boot 10 in a front upper position and cooperating with the outer surface of the lateral flaps 11a, 11b, 11c so as to cover the zone of the union of the lateral flaps 11a, 11b, 11c and thus to ensure a good hydraulic seal.
  • the central tongue 12 cooperates on its outer side with clamping clasps 14, which are closed and keep the central tongue 12 pressed against the lateral flaps 11a, 11b, 11c and against the inner shoe so as to clamp the instep of the foot of the user.
  • the central tongue 12 can slide axially on the forward part of the upper 13 of the boot 10, with which the tongue 12 is associated, so as to improve the suitability of the boot 10 to be worn and so as to prevent deformation of the tongue 12 when the skier closes the boot 10.
  • the central tongue 12 includes at its front end slidable anchorage means 20 including in this case a longitudinal slot 18, with which there cooperates a pin 19, or two pins 19 in the example of Fig.5, solidly associated with the front upper part of the upper 13 of the boot 10.
  • the central tongue 12 is secured to the upper 13 at one side thereof so as to be able to be resiliently opened (Figs.6 and 7) to permit easy operations of putting on/taking off the boot 10 by the user.
  • the central tongue 12 has a specially shaped portion 21, which reduces its extent and makes greater the space for access by the user to the inside of the boot 10.
  • the flap 11b is placed on the anchorage side of the central tongue 12 and covers the half-arc of the upper 13 substantially up to the vicinity of the central longitudinal plane 22 (Fig.2c).
  • the half-arc opposite to the anchorage side of the central tongue 12 is covered by superimposition of the flaps 11a and 11c, in which the lower flap 11a ends at a position more distant from the plane 22 than the opposite flap 11b and is overlapped by the flap 11c so as to cover the relative half-arc substantially as far as the plane 22.
  • the central tongue 12 includes on its lower side abutment means 16a which resist longitudinal displacement of the central tongue 12 when the clasps 14 are in the closed position.
  • these abutment means 16a cooperate with abutment means 16b of a mating form included on the upper 13 of the boot 10.
  • the abutment means 16a associated with the central tongue 12 consist of lateral hollow means 15 which cooperate with relative wedge means 17.
