Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for adjusting the Side slope of a shoe upper of a sports shoe that is on a bowl-shaped shoe lower part by means of pivot pins in Shoe longitudinally pivoted, with at least one, on one of the shoe parts movably mounted actuator for Height adjustment of at least one long side of the shoe upper in different height positions relative to the lower part of the shoe, and with a clamping device, with the help of the shoe upper on the lower part of the shoe in the set height position is noticeable.
  • Such a device is used in particular in one Ski boot, ice skate or roller skate use, and the shoe bottom is in particular a rigid shell or lower shell made of plastic, whereas it is with the shoe upper (also made of plastic) around a shaft or a cuff, but can also act a tailgate.
  • DE 39 19 430 A1 is an adjustment device the side inclination (so-called canting) of a shaft of a ski boot known in which a toothed segment is fixedly arranged in the shaft is in which a toothed roller engages as an actuator, the fixed but rotatable in the shoe shell.
  • the toothed The roller is on a pull pin provided as a pivot pin mounted, which is rotatably mounted in the shoe shell; a lever articulated on the draw bolt enables on the one hand a height adjustment of the shaft relative to the shoe shell Twisting and on the other hand also fixing this set Height position by clamping.
  • FR 2 682 570 A1 describes a device for Adjustment of the side slope of a shaft of a ski boot known relative to the shoe shell, at which the pivot point of the shaft lies in the heel area and a tilting position is intended for the shaft in this area.
  • Eccentric canting adjustment devices arranged in the ankle section again allow only a rough setting of the Lateral inclination of the shaft relative to the shell.
  • the invention provides that the at least one actuator has at least one on the pivot pin this long side of the shoe has adjacent control surface, the for a height adjustment of the shoe upper under one Angle to the direction of movement of the actuator.
  • This one Corresponds to the formation of an "inclined plane” or “wedge surface", the advantages of the latter also come into play, such as diminished ones Exertion of force, conversion of a horizontal force into a vertical one Force on the pivot pin and free choice of slope.
  • the system with the actuator after a "canting" setting and any before tightening the clamping device To provide sufficient resistance to restoring forces is able to fix the desired side inclination exactly can. It is also of no importance whether such a Side tilt adjustment device only on one side of the shoe (especially in the area of the outer ankle) or on both sides (inside and outside) is provided.
  • a structurally particularly simple and functional embodiment the device according to the invention is that Actuator is plate-shaped and a longitudinal slot has the edges of an upper and a lower control surface form. In this way, both an upward movement and also a downward movement of the upper part of the shoe relative to the lower part of the shoe forcibly brought about and carefully controlled become.
  • the actuator on the shoe upper preferably pivotable
  • the pivot pin assigned to the actuator is firmly connected to the lower part of the shoe.
  • the device according to the invention advantageous if the actuator is designed as a toothed segment plate, the teeth with a drive gear rotatably mounted on the shoe upper combs.
  • the canting device according to FIG DE 39 19 430 A1 for actuating a articulated on the draw bolt Lever provided, which is not only expensive, but also is therefore disadvantageous because an additional component over the The outer surface of the shoe protrudes.
  • the drive gear simply a screwdriver slot on an outer face of its shaft has and from the outside of the shoe by means of Screwdriver can be operated. This will simplify construction achieved, which may not be comparatively It is therefore not important that it is so easy to operate because the Lateral inclination usually only once by the respective user is set and then remains in this setting.
  • the cover is made of metal or hard plastic.
  • a structurally simple and cheap storage of the drive gear is that the cover has a hole for Bearing of the shaft of the drive gear has.
  • the Cover has an extension which in a passage of the Shoe upper is inserted form-fitting. Through this The measure is also the cover against twisting secured relative to the shoe upper.
  • One because of the particularly stable pin guide in the direction the axis of the shoe upper is preferred embodiment characterized in that the elongated hole in the area of Extension of the cover is provided. The slot is located then in an area of great material thickness.
  • the longitudinal slot is designed in the form of a circular arc; it is there further favorable if the radius of the arcuate longitudinal slot at least twice as large as that of a circular arc arranged toothing of the pivotable toothed segment plate is.
  • the angle between the control surface and the direction of movement of the actuator between 20 ° and 45 °, preferably between 30 ° and 40 °.
  • Fig. 1 shows a ski boot as an example of a sports shoe 1 with a shoe upper (shaft or cuff, if necessary also tailgate) 2, which on a shoe lower part (shell) 3 swiveling in the longitudinal direction of the shoe in the ankle area on both sides is mounted by means of pivot pin 4.
  • At least one is the pivot pin 4, for example that in the area of the outer Ankle, designed as a threaded sleeve 5, which is closed at its End twist-proof and against longitudinal displacement securely pressed into the upper section of the lower shoe part 3 or cast in.
  • a locking screw 6 screwed in, its function below is explained in more detail.
  • edges 10, 11 of the longitudinal slot 7 in the actuator 8 form an upper control surface 12 or a lower one Control surface 13 for the pivot pin 4 or the threaded sleeve 5, the control surfaces 12, 13 at an angle ⁇ to the direction of movement the toothed segment plate 9 (which corresponds to a Circular arc, because of the pivoting movement of the toothed segment plate 9, runs), as best seen in Fig. 4.
  • a bore in it 14 provided for receiving a pin 15 which on the Inside of the shoe upper 2 in the lower end section is molded onto it.
  • the teeth 9 'of the toothed segment plate 9 meshes with a Shoe upper 2 rotatably mounted drive gear 16, which is in one piece with a shaft 17; this shaft 17 is in the direction to the outside of the shoe in a hole 18 in the shoe upper 2 recorded and on the outer end face with a slot 19th to attach a screwdriver.
  • This slot 19th is here via a bore 20 in one on the outside of the Mounted shoe upper 2 in the area of the toothed segment plate 9 Cover 21 accessible, with the bore 20 additionally serves to support the shaft 17.
  • a counter bearing for the Shaft 17 is on the other (inner) side of the drive gear 16 in a bore 22, in a recess 23 the inside of the shoe upper 2 by means of a screw 24 attached rectangular plate 25 rotatably mounted.
