Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sports shoe particularly for practicing snowboarding.
  • sports shoes are used, particularly for practicing snowboarding, which are constituted by an external rigid or semirigid upper, which reaches the tibia of the user in order to provide adequate support for the foot and ankle of said user during the practice of this sports activity.
  • a sole is associated with the upper in a lower region and is provided with means for fixing to suitable bindings associated with a snowboard deck.
  • a soft innerboot adapted to improve the fitting comfort of the user, can be associated inside the upper; the innerboot surrounds the foot and ankle of the user and reaches the region of the tibia thereof, generally protruding partially from the top end of the upper.
  • Sports shoes for practicing snowboarding are known in which the innerboot can be coupled detachably to the internal surface of the upper by way of a coupling provided by means of the material known by the trademark Velcro.
  • a first strip made of material known by the trademark Velcro is fixed longitudinally on the outer surface of the innerboot, approximately in its rear region which lies above the heel of the user, and is matched by a second strip of the same material, which is fixed inside the upper so as to match up with the first strip.
  • first and second strips make contact, they couple to each other and any mutual movement thereof with respect to their surface of contact is prevented; separation of the two strips is possible only by moving them mutually apart at right angles to said contact surface.
  • the main drawback of these known types of sports shoe is that during the insertion of the innerboot in the upper, the two strips can make contact before the innerboot reaches the position that it should assume during use of the shoe; in this case, the first and second strips mutually engage and fix the innerboot to the upper in a less than optimum position, which can be uncomfortable for the user and which, in some cases, can compromise the transmission of forces from the foot to the snowboard deck.
  • Another drawback of known types relates to the fact that the low temperatures to which said shoes are typically subjected during use tend to stiffen said first and second strips, reducing the effectiveness of their mutual fixing and therefore not ensuring optimum locking of the innerboot to the upper during use.
  • the outer surface of said innerboot can make contact with the surface of the second strip made of Velcro, which is fixed to the upper; friction between said surfaces can wear out the outer surface of the innerboot, since it is typically made of a soft material which is not highly resistant to friction; this has a negative effect on the durability of the innerboot.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited background art, by providing a sports shoe which allows to obtain an optimum detachable coupling between the upper of a shoe, particularly for practicing snowboarding, and a soft innerboot which can be inserted in said upper.
  • an object is to provide a sports shoe which allows easy and quick positioning and mating of the innerboot within the upper.
  • Another object is to provide a sports shoe in which the fixing between the innerboot and the upper is not affected by the temperature of the environment in which the shoe is used.
  • Another object is to provide a sports shoe which allows to achieve the correct mutual positioning of the upper and the innerboot rapidly and simply.
  • Another object is to provide a sports shoe which protects the innerboot against possible wear.
  • Another object is to provide a sports shoe which is structurally simple and has low manufacturing costs.
  • a sports shoe particularly for practicing snowboarding, which comprises an external upper in which it is possible to insert detachably a soft innerboot, characterized in that said soft innerboot is provided externally with engagement means which interact slidingly with temporary grip means which are associated internally with respect to said external upper.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates a sports shoe, particularly for practicing snowboarding, which comprises an external upper 2, which is rigid or semirigid and covers completely the foot of the user and reaches the tibia region of said user.
  • the upper 2 is open at its top end and, preferably but not necessarily, at the front, in order to allow access to its interior, and can be closed for example by way of known fastening means, which are not shown in the cited figures.
  • a sole 4 is associated externally with respect to the upper 2, at the bottom 3 thereof, and is provided with known means, not shown in the accompanying figures, for connection to appropriately provided bindings provided on a snowboarding deck, which is also not shown in the figures.
  • An innerboot 5 can be inserted detachably in the upper 2 and is made of a flexible material, which comprises for example a soft fabric suitable to improve user comfort.
  • the innerboot 5 is shaped approximately complementarily with respect to the upper 2 inside which it can be accommodated, and covers completely the user's foot, to the point of affecting the region of the tibia thereof.
  • the innerboot 5 protrudes externally from the upper end of the upper 2 with an open end 6, by means of which the user's foot can access the interior of the innerboot 5.
  • the innerboot 5 has, on its outer surface 7, known means for facilitating its extraction from the upper 2, which are constituted for example by a strip 8, which is fixed at its ends at the open end 6 of the innerboot 5 so as to form a loop 9, which can be gripped easily by the user.
  • the innerboot 5 has, on its outer surface 7, preferably at least at the rear part in the region above the heel of the user, engagement means which interact slidingly with temporary grip means provided within the upper 2.
  • Such engagement means are constituted advantageously by a first base 10, which is associated with the outer surface 7 by way of known fixing means, constituted for example by a perimetric stitched seam or by adhesive bonding.
  • the first base 10 has a perimetric shape which is advantageously but not necessarily trapezoidal, in which the shorter parallel side is directed toward the open end 6 of the innerboot 5.
  • a plurality of first teeth 11 protrude from the first base 10 approximately transversely thereto, and are approximately sawtooth-shaped.
  • Each one of the first teeth is constituted by a first flat surface 12, which protrudes approximately at right angles from the first base 10, and is followed by a first inclined surface 13, which blends with the first base on the opposite side with respect to the open end 6 of the innerboot 5.
  • the length of the first teeth 11 increases as they move away from the open end 6 of the innerboot 5.
  • a reinforcement layer 14 is fixed on the outer surface 7 of the innerboot 5, in the rear part in the region above the heel of the user, is preferably made of wear-resistant fabric, and is provided with a through hole whose dimensions are approximately equal to those of the first base 10.
  • the temporary grip means are constituted advantageously by a second base 15, which is associated, by way of known fixing means, such as for example by means of stitching or adhesive bonding, with the internal surface 16 of the upper 2 in a region which, during optimum use of the shoe, faces the first base 10.
  • the second base 15 has a perimetric shape which is advantageously but not necessarily approximately rectangular.
  • a plurality of second teeth 17 protrude from the second base 15 approximately transversely thereto and are approximately sawtooth-shaped.
  • Each one of the second teeth is constituted by a second flat surface 18, which protrudes approximately at right angles from the second base 15 and is followed by a second inclined surface 19, which is blended with the second base in the direction of the open end 6 of the innerboot 5.
  • the shape of the first and second teeth is such as to prevent a mutual sliding which causes the innerboot to lift in the opposite direction with respect to the sole of the upper.
  • the user removes his foot from the innerboot 5, and said innerboot can then be extracted from the upper 2 by way of the deformation which can be imparted to said innerboot so as to mutually disengage the first and second teeth.
  • the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, a sports shoe particularly for practicing snowboarding having been obtained which provides safe and optimum positioning of the innerboot with respect to the upper for its condition for use, allowing at the same time to remove easily the innerboot, for example to clean it or replace it, once it has been removed from the foot.
  • the innerboot by way of the possibility of ratchet-like engagement between the first and second teeth of the upper and of the innerboot respectively, can be arranged in the correct position easily and rapidly.
  • the presence of the reinforcement layer protects the innerboot from the wear caused by the sliding of the first teeth provided on the upper, increasing the durability of the innerboot.
  • the production costs of the shoe according to the invention are modest, since it is constituted by structurally simple components which are easily available and easy to assemble.
