Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a skate boot comprising an outer shell having a flexible tendon guard.
-
U.S. Patent 6,260,290 discloses a skate boot comprising quarter medial and lateral portions integrally connected together in a one-piece construction and being folded at a symmetry line to form a U-shaped skate boot structure. The skate boot has a tendon guard secured to the quarter medial and lateral portions at a junction line in a side-by-side fashion thereby resulting in the rear portion of the skate boot having an obtuse angular profile defined by the tendon guard and the quarter medial and lateral portions. -
U.S. Patent 6,550,159 discloses a skate boot comprising an articulated cuff for encircling and supporting the ankle of a skater. The articulated cuff is partially inserted in the skate boot and is slidably coupled to the skate boot to permit forward and backward motion of the articulated cuff relative to an axis coinciding approximately with the pivot axis of the ankle of the skater. - The most recent trend in skate boot construction is to manufacture skate boots using lightweight components, and where possible with a reduced number of components.
- Accordingly, there is a need in the industry for a lighter skate boot that provides rigidity around the ankle while allowing backwards flexion of the ankle when the foot of the skater moves towards full extension.
- As embodied and broadly described herein, the invention provides a skate boot for enclosing a human foot when in use, the foot having a heel, an ankle with a medial malleolus and a lateral malleolus, an Achilles tendon having an upper part and a lower part that projects outwardly with relation to the upper part, the lower part merging with the heel, a plantar surface, medial and lateral sides and toes. The skate boot comprises (a) an outer shell comprising a heel portion for receiving the heel of the foot; an ankle portion for receiving the ankle, the ankle portion comprising a rear portion for facing at least partially the lower part of the Achilles tendon; and medial and lateral side portions for facing the medial and lateral sides of the foot respectively; and (b) a tendon guard affixed to the ankle portion for facing at least partially the upper part of the Achilles tendon, the tendon guard being more flexible than the outer shell such that the tendon guard allows backwards flexion of the ankle when the foot moves towards full extension.
- The invention also provides a skate boot for enclosing a human foot when in use, the foot having a heel, an ankle with a medial malleolus and a lateral malleolus, an Achilles tendon having an upper part and a lower part that projects outwardly with relation to the upper part, the lower part merging with the heel, a plantar surface, medial and lateral sides and toes. The skate boot comprises (a) an outer shell comprising a heel portion for receiving the heel of the foot; an ankle portion for receiving the ankle, the ankle portion comprising a rear portion for facing at least partially the lower part of the Achilles tendon; and medial and lateral side portions for facing the medial and lateral sides of the foot respectively; and (b) a tendon guard comprising a bottom portion affixed to the ankle portion and a flexing portion projecting upwardly from the bottom portion for facing at least partially the upper part of the Achilles tendon, the flexing portion being more flexible than the outer shell such that the flexing portion is capable of flexing rearwardly for allowing backwards flexion of the ankle when the foot moves towards full extension.
- The invention further provides a skate boot for enclosing a human foot when in use, the foot having a heel, an ankle with a medial malleolus and a lateral malleolus, an Achilles tendon having an upper part and a lower part that projects outwardly with relation to the upper part, the lower part merging with the heel, a plantar surface, medial and lateral sides and toes. The skate boot comprises (a) an outer shell made of thermoformable material, the outer shell being thermoformed such that it comprises a heel portion for receiving the heel of the foot; an ankle portion for receiving the ankle and having a rear portion for facing at least partially the lower part of the Achilles tendon; and medial and lateral side portions for facing the medial and lateral sides of the foot respectively; and (b) a tendon guard above the ankle portion for facing at least partially the upper part of the Achilles tendon, the tendon guard being made of a flexible material such that the tendon guard allows backwards flexion of the ankle when the foot moves towards full extension. The flexible material may be made by injecting molding.
- Moreover, the invention provides a skate boot for enclosing a human foot when in use, the foot having a heel, an ankle with a medial malleolus and a lateral malleolus, an Achilles tendon having an upper part and a lower part that projects outwardly with relation to the upper part, the lower part merging with the heel, a plantar surface, medial and lateral sides and toes. The skate boot comprises (a) an outer shell comprising a heel portion for receiving the heel of the foot; an ankle portion for receiving the ankle and having a rear portion for facing at least partially the lower part of the Achilles tendon; and medial and lateral side portions for facing the medial and lateral sides of the foot respectively; and (b) a tendon guard for facing at least partially the upper part of the Achilles tendon, the tendon guard being made of a flexible material such that the tendon guard flexes rearwardly from an initial position when the foot moves towards full extension, said flexible material having enough resiliency such that the tendon guard returns to its initial position when pressure is no longer applied on it.

- To facilitate the description, any reference numerals designating an element in one figure will designate the same element if used in any other figures. In describing the embodiments, specific terminology is resorted to for the sake of clarity but the invention is not intended to be limited to the specific terms so selected, and it is understood that each specific term comprises all equivalents.
- Shown in Figures 1 and 2 is a typical right human foot F that includes toes T, a plantar surface PS, a medial side MS and a lateral side LS. In addition, the human foot includes a heel H, an Achilles tendon AT and an ankle A having a lateral malleolus LM and a medial malleolus MM, the lateral malleolus LM being at a lower position than the medial malleolus MM. The Achilles tendon AT has an upper part UP and a lower part LP projecting outwardly with relation to the upper part UP, the lower part merging with the heel H.
- Shown in Figures 3 and 4 is an
ice skate 1 that comprises askate boot 10 suitable for enclosing the foot F. Although theskate boot 10 shown in the figures is being used for anice skate 1, it is understood that theskate boot 10 can be used for a roller skate. - The
ice skate 1 has anouter shell 12 for receiving the foot F, atoe cap 14 made of rigid molded plastic for facing the toes T, atongue 16 extending upwardly and rearwardly from thetoe cap 14 for covering the forefoot of the foot F, arigid insert 18 for providing more rigidity around the ankle A and heel H, aninner lining 20, afootbed 22, aninsole 24, anoutsole 26, an iceskate blade holder 28 and ablade 30. Therigid insert 18 may be glued to an inner surface of theouter shell 12. It is understood that therigid insert 18 is an optional component and may be eliminated if theouter shell 12 is sufficiently rigid for supporting the ankle A and heel H. Similarly, theinsole 24 andoutsole 26 are optional components and may be eliminated if theouter shell 12 is sufficiently rigid for receiving theblade holder 28. - The
inner lining 20 is affixed to an inner surface of theouter shell 12 and it comprises aninner surface 32 intended for contact with the heel H, ankle A and medial and lateral sides MS, LS of the foot F in use. If theskate boot 10 comprises therigid insert 18, suchrigid insert 18 is sandwiched between theouter shell 12 andinner lining 20 and suchinner lining 20 may be glued to the inner surfaces of theouter shell 12 andrigid insert 18 and stitched along its periphery to theouter shell 12. Theinner lining 20 is made of a soft material and can be a fabric made of 100% NYLON® fibers. Thefootbed 22 is mounted inside theouter shell 12 and it comprises anupper surface 34 for receiving the plantar surface PS and awall 36 projecting upwardly from theupper surface 34. Thewall 36 partially cups the heel H and extends up to a medial line of the foot F. - The
skate boot 10 also comprisesbands 38 secured to upper side portions of theouter shell 12. Thebands 38 may be made of fabric, textile or leather and comprisesapertures 40.Eyelets 42 are punched into theband 38,outer shell 12 andinner lining 20 vis-à-vis apertures 40. Theskate boot 10 further comprises atendon guard 42 for facing at least partially the upper part UP of the Achilles tendon AT. - The
outer shell 12 will now be described in more detail below with respect to Figures 5 to 8. While thetendon guard 42 is made of a flexible material, theouter shell 12 is made of a more rigid material in order to provide enough support to the foot F. Theouter shell 12 may be made of a thermoformable material. As used herein, the expression "thermoformable material" refers to a material that is capable of softening when heated and of hardening again when cooled. Some non-limiting examples of different types of thermoformable material comprise ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam, polyethylene foam, polystyrene foam, polypropylene foam and thermoformable materials sold under the trade-marks MEGABIX® , SURLYN® , SONTARA® , FORMO500® , BYLON® , MOSOCA® and NYLON® 66. - The
outer shell 12 may be made from a pre-cut sheet of thermoformable material having a profile corresponding to that of theouter shell 12. The sheet of material may be a composite sheet having a layer of thermoformable foam. Some non-limiting examples of different types of thermoformable foam include ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam, polyethylene foam and polypropylene foam. High density polyethylene (HDPE) 1300, 1100 and 0907 foams can also be used. The sheet may be made of thermoforming materials such as those sold under the trade-mark MEGABIX® (a core of extruded SURLYN® , a backing of SONTARA® and a hot melt coating; thickness of 0.95 mm), FORM0500® (non woven polyester with a core of extruded polyolefinic, stiffening layers of synthetic latex on each side and an ethylene vinyl acetate hot melt adhesive on one side; thickness of 1.50 mm), BYLON® (a nylon multifilament with a backing of black saturated needle punched polyester nonwoven and a face coating of non-fray urethane) and MOSOCA® (NYLON® 66 with a core of SURLYN® and a PU coating). The composite sheet may also be made of a first sheet of polyethylene high density (HDPE) foam; a second sheet of thermoplastic; and a third composite sheet made of a first layer of cotton, a second layer of SURLYN® fibers, a third layer of a mesh of NYLON® fibers and a coating. These sheets being laminated together before or during the thermoforming process of theouter shell 12. - The sheet of thermoformable material may include two or three layers, wherein the layer that will form the outer surface of the
outer shell 12 is more rigid that the layer that will form the inner surface of theouter shell 12. A layer of thermoformable foam may be located between the inner and outer layers. In a non-limiting embodiment, thethermoformed shell 12 is made of a single sheet made of thermoformable material. However, it should be understood that the thermoformed shell could also be made of multiple sections. For example, the thermoformed shell could be made from separate medial and lateral side portions that are affixed together. - The
outer shell 12 is thermoformed such that it comprises aheel portion 44 for receiving the heel H, anankle portion 46 for receiving the ankle A and medial andlateral side portions - The
heel portion 44 may be thermoformed such that it is substantially cup shaped for following the contour of the heel H. - The
ankle portion 46 comprises medial and lateral ankle sides 52, 54. Themedial ankle side 52 has a medial cup-shapeddepression 56 for receiving the medial malleolus MM and thelateral ankle side 54 has a lateral cup-shapeddepression 58 for receiving the lateral malleolus LM. Thelateral depression 58 is located slightly lower than themedial depression 56, for conforming to the morphology of the foot F. Theankle portion 46 further comprises arear portion 60 facing the lower part LP of the Achilles tendon AT. Therear portion 60 may be thermoformed such that it follows the lower part LP of the Achilles tendon AT. - The medial and
lateral side portions ankle portions lateral skirt portions outer shell 12, the medial andlateral skirt portions upper surface 68 for facing a substantial portion of the plantar surface PS and abottom surface 70 for receiving an outsole, a blade holder or a roller chassis. The medial andlateral skirt portions skirt portions - As shown in Figure 4, the
skate boot 10 may comprises theinsole 24 that has an upper surface for facing the plantar surface PS of the foot and a bottom surface on which theupper surface 68 of the sole 66 may be affixed. Theboot 10 may also comprise theoutsole 26 that has a bottom surface of which theblade holder 28 is mounted. It is however understood that theinsole 24 andoutsole 26 are optional components and may be eliminated if the sole is sufficiently rigid for receiving theblade holder 28. Alternatively, only theoutsole 26 may be eliminated and theinsole 24 may still be used in the construction of theskate boot 10. - Referring to Figures 7 and 8, the
tendon guard 42 is affixed to theankle portion 46 of theouter shell 12 for facing at least partially the upper part UP of the Achilles tendon AT. Thetendon guard 42 can be affixed to theankle portion 46 via stitching, over molding, thermal bonding, high frequency welding, vibration welding, piping, zipper, adhesive and staples, among other possibilities known in the art. Thetendon guard 42 is more flexible than theouter shell 12 such that it allows backwards flexion of the ankle A when the foot F moves towards full extension. Thetendon guard 42 may be made of silicone or may be made by injection molding using polyester (e.g. polyester HYTREL® ) polyurethane, polyamide, or other suitable thermoplastics. The selected material must have enough flexibility for allowing the tendon guard to flex rearwardly when pressure is applied on it while it should also have enough resiliency for allowing the tendon guard to return to its initial position when pressure is no longer applied on the tendon guard. - The
tendon 42 may comprise abottom portion 74 and a flexingportion 80 that projects upwardly from thebottom portion 74 for facing at least partially the upper part UP of the Achilles tendon AT. Thebottom portion 74 of thetendon guard 42 is affixed to therear portion 60 of theankle portion 46. Thetendon guard 42 may also comprise medial andlateral side portions bottom portion 74 and being affixed to the respective medial and lateral ankle sides 52, 54 of theankle portion 46. - The
skate boot 10 may comprise a single continuous band that covers the upper portion of each of the medial andlateral side portions outer shell 12 and wraps around therear portion 60 andsides ankle portion 46 and cover the bottom, medial andlateral side portions tendon guard 42 instead of the twodistinct bands 38 shown in Figures 3 and 4. The single continuous band is made of fabric, textile or leather. In such an alternative embodiment, theportions tendon guard 42 is sandwiched between the single continuous band and theouter shell 12. Theskate boot 10 may also comprise an overlay covering a rear part of the flexingportion 80 of thetendon guard 42, such overlay being made of fabric, textile or leather. In such further alternative embodiment, the flexingportion 80 is sandwiched between the overlay and theinner lining 20. - Figures 9 to 12 show a skater in different skating positions. In Figure 9, the right foot of the skater begins the pushing action against the ice. As shown in this figure, the flexing
portion 80 of thetendon guard 42 faces at least partially the upper part UP of the Achilles tendon AT but does not contact the upper part UP. In Figure 10, the right foot of the skater continues its pushing action and the flexingportion 80 of thetendon guard 42 then abuts against the upper part UP of the Achilles tendon AT. As shown in Figures 11 and 12, when the right foot of the skater continues its pushing action and reaches full extension, the flexingportion 80 allows backwards flexion of the ankle A. Hence, because of its flexibility, thetendon guard 42 allows backwards flexion of the ankle A when the foot of the skater moves towards full extension. Note that only the foremost part of the blade contacts the ice when the skater reaches full push extension. - After reaching full push extension, the foot of the skater moves forwardly without touching the ice and another pushing motion of the foot will begin once the skate will again touch the ice. It is understood that the
tendon guard 42 should return to its initial position shown in Figure 9 once the full push extension of the foot is completed. In that sense, while the material of thetendon guard 42 is enough flexible for allowing thetendon guard 42 to flex rearwardly from its initial position when the foot of the skater moves towards full extension, the material should also have enough resiliency such that thetendon guard 42 return to its initial position shown in Figure 9 when no pressure is applied on it. - As shown in Figure 13, in its initial position shown in full lines, the
tendon guard 42 is in a generally vertical position. When the ankle flexes backwards and pressure is applied against the flexingportion 80 of thetendon guard 42, thetendon guard 42, as shown in stippled lines, is then capable of flexing rearwardly of an angle θ, such angle θ may be up to 90°. - The above description of the embodiments should not be interpreted in a limiting manner since other variations, modifications and refinements are possible within the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of the invention is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
