Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shoe particularly for sports practice, in particular for ski mountaineering or downhill skiing.
  • boots which have a shell made of rigid plastic material which wraps around the foot of the user and to which an appropriately provided quarter is pivoted which covers the leg partially;
  • these known types of boot typically have an innerboot, made of soft material, which is adapted to increase comfort while wearing the boots.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited background art, by providing a shoe, particularly for sports practice, which protects the foot adequately during skiing and further allows to achieve easy flexing of the shell to facilitate walking.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a shoe, particularly for sports practice, which in addition to allowing easy flexing is capable at the same time of providing great wearing comfort and support for the foot of the user both during skiing and during walking.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a shoe which ensures adequate contact between the foot and the shell so as to allow correct control of the ski.
  • Another object is to provide a shoe which is structurally simple and has low production costs.
  • a shoe particularly for sports practice, which comprises a shell to which at least one quarter is coupled, characterized in that one or more transverse notches or openings are formed in the sole region and partially in the region of the sides of said shell, are adapted to facilitate flexing, and can be closed by means of at least one removable insert.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a shoe, particularly for sports practice, in particular for ski mountaineering or downhill skiing, which comprises a shell 2 which covers the foot and ankle of the user and to which at least one quarter 4 is coupled which extends so as to cover part of the tibia.
  • transverse notches or openings designated by the reference numeral 7, which are adapted to facilitate flexing.
  • the one or more notches or openings 7 are formed in a region which is adjacent to, or affects, part of a standardized tip 11, which is preferably constituted by a rigid body 11 a which interacts with a binding which is coupled to a ski and is formed monolithically with the shell 2; an outsole 28 made of plastic material is associable or coupled in a lower region with respect to the body 11a.
  • a single opening 7 is provided in the shell 2 and has a first portion 12, which is approximately rectangular in plan view, is provided transversely to the shell 2, and partially affects the body 11a of the tip 11 in a region which is adjacent to the metatarsus of the foot of the user.
  • the first portion 12 is contiguous to a second portion 13a, 13b, which is formed at each side 6a, 6b of the shell 2 and is approximately cusp-shaped, with the tip directed away from the sole 5.
  • the second portions 13a, 13b have, at their lower end, a bevel 21 which is formed on the sides 6a, 6b of the shell 2 starting from the bottom 17 thereof.
  • the extension of the grooves 23 is such that the first holes 22a, 22b are arranged inside them.
  • the one or more notches or openings 7 can be closed by means of at least one removable insert 14, which is advantageously made of elastically deformable plastic material.
  • the at least one insert 14 is approximately U-shaped in a sectional view taken along a plane which lies transversely to the shell 2, with a base 24 which is approximately flat and has a substantially rectangular plan shape.
  • the base 24 has, transversely to the shell 2, an extension which is approximately equal to the extension of the first portion 12 of the opening 7 and has, longitudinally to the shell 2, an extension which is slightly greater than that of the first portion 12; the base 24 further has a thickness which is approximately equal to the thickness of the bevels 21; the base 24 can therefore be arranged, during use, so as to close the first portion 12 of the opening 7 only after it has been compressed elastically in the longitudinal direction with respect to the shell 2.
  • the one or more notches or openings 7 widen in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the shell 2 and the previously compressed base 24 expands elastically in the same direction, thus keeping the first portion 12 of the opening 7 constantly closed.
  • a raised portion designated by the reference numeral 24a, protrudes from the base 14 toward the inside of the shell 2 and is arranged during use within the first portion 12 of the opening 7.
  • Two arms protrude from the ends of the base 24 approximately at right angles thereto, and have, in a cross-section taken along a plane which lies transversely to the shell 2, an arc-like profile which follows the profile of the region of the shell 2 with which the arms 25a and 25b are associable.
  • the arms 25a and 25b of the insert 14 are approximately cusp-shaped in a side view; said shape follows substantially the shape of the second portions 13a, 13b of the opening 7 but is wider than such portions and is such that the arms 25a, 25b can be arranged with their perimetric edges within the grooves 23, so as to close respectively the two second portions 13a, 13b of the opening 7 only after they have been compressed elastically.
  • the base 24 and the arms 25a, 25b therefore tend to return elastically to their non-deformed condition, pushing against the perimetric edges of the one or more notches or openings 7 so as to widen them, facilitating the flexing of the shell 2.
  • the at least one insert 14 can thus be coupled to the shell 2 so as to close the respective notch or opening 7 by inserting in the first and second holes appropriately provided first rivets or studs or screws 27a, 27b.
  • the shoe 1 comprises means for guiding and limiting its flexing, which are constituted advantageously by an outsole 28, which constitutes the tip 11, and from which one or more tabs 31 protrude axially with respect to the shell 2 and on the opposite side with respect to the tip 9 thereof, and extend beyond the opening 7, their ends being slidingly associable with the bottom 17 of the shell 2.
  • the outsole 28 and the one or more tabs 31 are made of a rigid plastic material, so as to remain in their condition of optimum contact against the ground, at the same time allowing the flexing of the shell 2 in the direction of increasing the width of the one or more notches or openings 7.
  • the outsole 28 and the one or more tabs 31 are made of a semirigid plastic material, such as to allow a minimal flexing thereof.
  • the presence of the outsole 28 and of the one or more tabs 31 further compensates the reduction of the torsional strength of the shell 2 caused by the presence of the one or more notches or openings 7.
  • two mutually parallel tabs 31 protrude respectively from the outsole 28, and two third holes 32 are formed respectively on the free ends of the tabs and face, during use, appropriately provided through slots 33 which are formed in the bottom 17 of the shell 2 along a direction which is longitudinal to the shell; advantageously, in the inactive condition, in which the shoe 1 is not subjected to flexing, the third holes 32 face the end of the slots 33 that is directed away from the tip 11.
  • the tabs 31 are slidingly coupled to the shell 2 by means of appropriately provided second screws 34 which are fixed in the third holes 32 and the stem 35 of which is inserted slidingly in the slots 33 and is conveniently riveted at its end 35a, which lies inside the shell 2, to prevent the exit of the stem 35 from the slots 33;
  • the flexing of the shoe 1 entails the sliding of the stems 35 within the respective slots 33 to a stroke limit position, shown in Figure 6, in which they abut against the end of the slots 33 which is directed toward the tip 11, limiting the degree of flexing of the shoe 1 to the chosen extent.
  • the shell 2 is brought repeatedly to the flexing condition shown in Figure 6; in this condition, the one or more notches or openings 7 are widened in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the shell 2, and the base 24 and the previously compressed arms 25a, 25b of the insert 14 expand elastically in the same direction, keeping the respective notch or opening 7 still completely closed.
  • the region of the shell arranged above the notches or openings is intact and free; this allows to arrange thereon for example additional hooks for closure, so as to be able to adjust very effectively the degree of fastening of the shoe, improving foot comfort and support and ensuring adequate contact between the foot and the shell, so as to allow correct control of the ski.
  • the insert since the insert is associated with the shell after being compressed elastically, it pushes constantly against the perimetric edges of the notch or opening which tends to widen the latter, reducing the force required by the user to achieve the flexing of the shoe.
  • the production costs of the shoe according to the invention remain low, since it is provided only by means of components which are easy to manufacture and/or assemble.
  • the length of the slots and the size of the notches or openings 7 may be the most appropriate depending on the degree of flexing to be obtained.
