Description

The present invention relates to a boot, in particular a ski or snowboard boot, with a boot body having an upper portion for at least partially covering the tibia of a wearer and a lower portion for covering the foot of the wearer, and a lacing system comprising at least one the upper portion of the boot body associated upper effective zone and a lower portion of the boot body associated lower effective zone comprises.

Such boots are known in principle from the prior art and are used in particular in various sports areas, for example, when mountain climbing, skiing or snowboarding. It depends on the one hand that the boot provides a secure fit in use, especially in the foot area, without the boot stiffening in the crotch. In addition, the boot should be sufficiently stuck in the region of the tibia in order to transmit the force of the user, in particular when skiing or snowboarding, as optimally as possible to the respective sports equipment.

In addition to the firm hold that a boot should offer, it is desirable that it be so laced that the user can comfortably put on and take off the boot with relatively little effort. In the case of ski or snowboard boots, this condition relating to the lacing system of the boot is of particular importance, since the boot follows As a result, the lacing system is often difficult to solve.

From the DE 20 2004 019 082 U1 For example, a boot of the aforementioned type is known, wherein the lacing of this boot consists of two laces. The one laces serves to lace the boot in the shaft area, whereas the other laces for lacing the foot area is provided. For this purpose, the shoelace associated with the foot region is fastened with one end to the boot. The shoelace is guided in the foot area by three deflections, which are each attached to the side of the boot tongue. After the third deflection, the free end of the lower lace is guided along the boot shaft upwards, where the lace ends in a handle.

The upper shoelace associated with the bootleg is connected to the boot in an analogous manner or guided in the boot.

The two laces are actuated independently of each other in the solution known from the prior art, so that a first upper lacing zone in the boot shaft can be tightened or released independently of a second lower lacing zone in the region of the foot part of the boot. Due to the two separate lacing zones in the upper and lower regions of the boot, the transition region between the two zones, i. in the area of the crotch, at least in places no lacing.

There is therefore a risk that in the area of the bend of the foot no sufficient tension is built up so that the secure hold in the boot is impaired. In addition, it has been found that to remove the boot, a release of both the upper and the lower zone is required. Since the two laces work independently, it is not sufficient if only the upper Schnürzone is loosened because the foot is held by the lower lacing, and a comfortable getting out of the boot is not possible.

Based on this problem, the invention has the object, further develop a boot of the type mentioned in that the on or off the boot can be done as easily as possible. In addition, the boot should be provided with a lacing system, which in addition to the simplified handling when putting on or taking off the boot provides a secure hold of the foot throughout the boot.

This object is achieved in that the lacing of the boot on the one hand has a single laces, the first end is anchored at the upper portion of the upper zone of action and the second end at the boot tip side end of the lower zone of action, and that the lacing of the boot on the other hand one for the upper zone of action and the lower zone of action of the lacing system common laces with a handle which cooperates with the laces so that upon actuation of the handle at the same time the upper zone of action and the lower zone of action of the lacing system in terms of lacing and the opening of the boot are affected.

An essential point of the invention is therefore that the boot comprises a lacing system with a single laces, wherein the lacing system has a total of two main zones of action, namely an upper zone of action, which is associated with the upper portion of the boot body or the bootleg, and a lower zone of action, which is associated with the lower portion of the boot body. The upper zone of action is in terms of lacing and opening of the boot with the lower zone of action on the common lace stabilizer directly operatively connected and functionally connected. In contrast to the known boots so the boot according to the invention does not comprise two separate laces, but a single laces, which can be either tightened or loosened with the handle of the luster retractor, which has a direct influence on the two zones of action of the lacing system.

Due to the function-related zones of action is achieved by loosening the upper zone of action, the loosening of the single shoe lace is also effected in the region of the lower zone of action, so that by loosening the lacing over a corresponding actuation of the common handle both zones of action are solved, which in particular a very easy removal of the boot allows.

Advantageous further developments are specified in the subclaims.

Preferably, the upper zone of action and the lower zone of action each have a plurality of limb deflections, wherein the laces tensioner common to the two zones of action is arranged between a limb deflection of the upper zone of action and a limb deflection of the lower zone of effect. This arrangement of lace tightener with the handle allows a particularly efficient power transmission from the handle or from the Lenkelstraffer to Stiefelschnürung the upper and lower zone of action, since the force is transmitted through the respective Senkelumlenkungen in both directions of the lacing. This leads in particular to the fact that the lacing in the upper and in the lower zone of action can be tightened at the same time with relatively little effort.

In a particularly preferred realization of the last-mentioned embodiment, in which both the upper zone of action and the lower zone of action of the lacing system each have several limb deflections, it is provided that the lower zone of action has at least as many limb deflections as the upper zone of action. If the number of laces deflections is identical for both zones of action, tightening of the laces in the upper and lower zones of action of the lacing system applied via the lace tightener to the lace will have the same effect. However, if the number of Lenkel deflections in the lower zone of action is higher than the corresponding number in the upper zone of action, it can be achieved that a force exerted on the lace by the Lenkelstraffer force is transmitted unevenly in both directions of the laces. In particular, the lacing in the upper zone of action of the lacing system is then tightened more tightly than the lacing in the lower zone of action, for example, with the same expenditure of force. In an analogous manner, the lacing in the upper zone of action is loosened more easily in comparison with the lacing in the lower zone of action, when the laces are released via the handle. Accordingly, the respective effect of a force exerted by the lacescrafter on the lace can thus be predetermined in advance on the upper and lower zones of action by a suitable choice of the number of laces deflections respectively provided in these zones of action.

It has been found to be particularly advantageous if the lacing system further comprises a preferably provided in or on the boot body lace guide with which a portion of the lace, which is designed as an extended, for opening and closing the boot on the common handle handleable loop of the area between the upper and the lower zone of action is led back to the boot every now and then to the boot. The use of such lace guides has the advantage that as a prolonged, manageable for opening and closing the boot loop is performed safely and in particular in a predictable course and does not interfere with the use of the boot. In particular, this avoids that threads in the use of the boot, the lace loop in objects, for example in branches, etc. when snowboarding or skiing. It will be appreciated that the portion of the lace formed as an elongated loop that is handleable to open and close the boot over the common handle is the component of the lace tightener via which the lace tightener or handle of the lace fastener is applied to the lace a force can be applied to adjust the respective laces in the upper and the lower zone of action accordingly.

In a particularly preferred realization of the lace guide is provided that it has at least two tubes, which are preferably arranged in or on the boot body, and through which in each case one of the two loops forming extended portions of the lacing system is performed. Of course, come for the lace management but other solutions in question.

In particular, it is advantageous if the handle of the lace tightener can exert force on a section of the lace formed as an extended loop, this section of the lace being used to open and close the boot or to adjust the lace in the upper and lower zones of action the lacing system with the help of the handle of the luster retractor is actuated. This means that provided in the region of a deflection loop of the lace does not abut against a deflection, but is extended, to such an extent that the extended loop for opening and closing the boot is manageable.

To tighten the lacing, the loop can be locked, which is preferably achieved in that the two loop-forming extended portions of the lace are each guided by a boot body, in particular the boot leg of the boot arranged and preferably manually releasable limb lock. Since the extended loop is not performed by a deflection, but extended, the deflection can be omitted in the extended loop. This embodiment provides a particularly simple way to realize the lace-makers. In addition, in this embodiment, the introduction of force from the handle of the luster locker to the remaining laces is particularly effective, as the force from the extended loop is directed directly onto the lace sections guided around the adjacent baffles.

In order to achieve that the lacing system of the boot according to the invention provides a particularly secure fit throughout the boot, is provided in a particularly preferred embodiment, that the laces of the lacing system is guided such that the Shoelaces in the area between the upper zone of action and the lower zone of action crossed at least once. By providing a single lace, which intersects in the transition region between the upper and the lower zone of action, it is achieved that in the region of the crutch, ie in the transition region between the upper and the lower zone of action, a middle zone of action is formed with the lacing the boot is built up a sufficient tension that ensures a secure fit of the foot in the boot and especially in the area of the crotch. In other words, this means that in this preferred development, the lacing system comprises a total of three zones of action, since due to the crossed leadership of the shoe lace in addition to the upper zone of action and the lower zone of action still creates a transition zone or a medium zone of action. These zones of action are directly connected with each other. Due to the functional connection with the two adjacent zones, the middle zone of action acts as a stress compensation zone, which also ensures that the lacing of the boot is tightened as evenly as possible. This improves both the comfort and the secure fit in the boot.

Particularly preferably, additionally or alternatively thereto, it may further be provided that in the boot material between the upper portion of the boot body, in which the upper zone of action of the lacing system, and the lower portion of the boot body, in which the lower zone of action of the lacing system is located, in the transition region between the upper and the lower zone of action, at least one, preferably U- or V-shaped material recess is provided. Similar to the central zone of action formed by the crossed leadership of the lace between the upper and the lower zone of action, the at least one formed between the upper portion of the boot body and the lower portion of the boot body in the boot material recess acts as a stress-balancing zone, thereby achieving is that on the one hand, the lacing of the boot in all zones of action of the lacing system is not only particularly evenly tightened, and on the other hand, the comfort of the boot and the handling of the boot is particularly improved when putting on and taking off.

The comfort when putting on or taking off, ie when operating the common handle, is further increased by the fact that the laces Tightener has a handle, in particular in the form of a handle through which the loop of the lace is freely guided, which for opening and closing of the boot is affected by the handle.

As already mentioned, in a particularly preferred embodiment of the boot according to the invention, the two loop-forming extended portions of the lace are each guided by a boot body, in particular on the boot shaft arranged and preferably manually releasable limb lock. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the limb lock is a lockable limb tightener. It can be seen that this lockable lace adjuster is associated with both the upper and the lower zone of action at the same time. The tension in the forefoot and in the shaft can be adjusted simultaneously in an advantageous manner with the aid of the lace adjuster associated with the two zones of action. In particular, the lace tightener allows a progressive buildup of pressure in the boot without the need for elaborate lacing to tighten the lace in the area of the forefoot and then in the area of the upper, as in the conventional boot. Preferably, an intermediate zone of action (stress compensation zone) is provided between the upper and the lower zone of action, with which a pressure distribution in the sensitive bending area of the foot is achieved, so that a cutting of the boot in the region of the crotch is counteracted. With regard to the comfort of the boot when putting on or taking off, this embodiment enables the loosening of the lacing by a single handle by releasing the lace adjuster associated with the two zones of action, since the upper zone of action with the lower zone of action (and optionally with the central zone of action) is immediate is functionally and functionally connected. A loosening of the laces in the region of the upper or lower zone of action thus continues into the middle and lower or upper zone of action.

By locking the shoelace with the aid of the preferably manually releasable limb lock, the lacing in the upper and lower area of action can also be determined individually.

To simplify the putting on and taking off of the boot as far as possible, it is preferably provided as an alternative or in addition to the aforementioned lacing system according to the invention that the boot also has a boot tongue which extends at least over the region of the boot body covered by the lacing system, and which on bootschaftseitigen end has a pull tab or a drawstring for quick opening of the boot.

Alternatively or in addition to this, it would also be conceivable that the boot also has an inner boot which can be inserted or used in the boot body with a pull tab arranged on the boot shaft end of the inner boot or on the boot shaft side End of the inner boot has arranged drawstring for quick opening of the boot.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.

a schematic view of the structure of the lacing system in the boot according to the embodiment according to the invention Fig. 1 or Fig. 2 ,

In Fig. 1 is shown in a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the boot according to the invention, while in Fig. 2 a side view of this boot can be seen. As shown, the boot 1 according to the invention comprises a boot body 2 comprising an upper portion 2a for at least partially covering the tibia of a wearer and a lower portion 2b for covering the foot of the wearer. Furthermore, a lacing system 10 is provided, which comprises a top portion 2a of the boot body 2 associated upper effective zone 11 and a lower portion 2b of the boot body 2 associated lower effective zone 12. The lacing system 10 is composed of a single lace 13, the first end 13a is anchored at the top of the upper zone of action 11 and the second end 13b at the boot tip side end of the lower zone of action 12. In addition, a for the upper zone of action 11 and the lower zone of action 12 of the lacing system 10 common Lenkelstraffer 14 with a handle 14 'is provided which cooperates with the laces 13 such that upon actuation of the handle 14' simultaneously the upper zone of action 11 and the lower Zone of action 12 of the lacing system 10 are influenced in view of the lacing and opening of the boot.

The operation of the lacing system 10, and in particular the effect of the operation of the handle 14 'of the lace tightener 14 on the lacing in the different Action zones of the lacing system 10 will be discussed later with reference to FIG Fig. 3 described in detail.

The FIGS. 1 and 2 Furthermore, it can be seen that in the case of the boot 1 according to the invention, the sole lace 13 is guided in such a way that the lace 13 crosses over once in the area between the upper zone of action 11 and the lower zone of action 12. This lying between the upper and the lower zone of action 11, 12 region 19 defines a mean zone of action, which works as a stress-compensating zone, so that overall builds a uniform pressure distribution in the boot 1.

In particular, a pressure distribution in the sensitive flexing region of the foot can be achieved by the middle zone of action 19 (stress-compensating zone), so that the boot 1 is prevented from cutting in the area of the bend of the foot.

Here, in the transition region between the upper portion 2a of the boot body 2, in which the upper action zone 11 lies, and the lower portion 2b of the boot body 2, in which the lower action zone 12 lies, in the material, and in particular in the outer material of the boot body is advantageously in the transition region 2 on both sides of the boot tongue 4 a U- or V-shaped recess 3 is provided. With such a recess 3, preferably on both sides of the edge portion of the boot body 2 defining the tongue region, an even better pressure distribution is achieved in the sensitive flexing region, this having a facilitating effect simultaneously when putting on or taking off the boot.

With regard to the handle 14 'of the luster retractor 14, it should be noted that in the preferred embodiment of the present invention it comprises a handle, by which, in particular, the Fig. 2 can be seen, a loop 17 of the lace 13 is guided freely. This loop 17 of the lace 13 is a portion of the lace 13, which is designed as an extended, in particular for opening and closing the boot 1 with the handle 14 operable loop. The lacing in the upper zone of action 11 and the lower zone of action 12 of the lacing system 10 is adjusted with the lace tightener 14 or the handle 14 'via the section 17 exposed by the boot body 2.

The individual sections of the loop 17 are by means of a lace guide 16, which guide tube 16 ', of the region 19 between the upper zone of action 11 and the lower zone of action 12 to the handle 14 and back again.

Especially Fig. 2 It can be seen that in the illustrated embodiment, the two loop-forming extended portions 17 of the lace 13 are each guided by a boot body 2 arranged on the preferably manually releasable limb lock 18.

To simplify the on or off the boot 1 as possible, is in the in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 in addition to the aforementioned lacing system 10, the boot 1 further comprises a boot tongue 4 extending at least over the area of the boot body 2 covered by the lace system 10, and the boot shaft end has a pull tab or drawstring 5 for quick opening of the boot 1 has. As already mentioned, however, it is also conceivable that the boot 1 further comprises an inner boot (not explicitly shown) which can be inserted or used in the boot body 2, wherein the inner boot comprises a pull tab or a drawstring at the boot shaft end.

The in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 illustrated boots 1 with the lacing system 10 may in particular be designed for example as a mountain boot or soft boot for a snowboard, the use of the lacing or the lacing system 10 is particularly advantageous in the snowboard boots.

In Fig. 3 For reasons of simplicity, only the lacing system 10 and not the entire boot 1 are shown in a schematic view in order to better illustrate the functioning of the lacing system 10. The lacing system 10 may in the boot 1 according to the embodiment of the invention according to Fig. 1 or Fig. 2 be used.

In contrast to the example of the DE 20 2004 019 082 U1 Known lacing the lacing system 10 of the boot 1 of the invention comprises a single continuous laces 13. The lacing system 10 further comprises in the in Fig. 3 illustrated preferred embodiment, two main zones of action - the upper and lower zone of action 11, 12 - and an average zone of action 19, which is caused by the crossed leadership of the lace 13 at the transition region between the upper and the lower zone of action 11, 12.

The upper zone of action 11 is in the region of the boot leg, ie in the upper part 2a of the boot body 2, while the lower zone of action 12 is arranged in the region of the forefoot, ie in the region of the lower part 2b of the boot body. The middle zone of action 19 is arranged between the upper and the lower zone of action 11, 12 and acts in the bow region of the boot 1. The central zone of action 19 is directly and functionally connected to the upper and the lower zone of action 11, 12 and functions as a tension zone. equalization zone. As a result, a stress distribution is achieved in the flexing region, since a tension set in the upper and lower effective regions 11, 12 is at least partially transmitted to the central effective zone 19.

That in the drawings, and in particular in Fig. 3 Moreover, shown lacing system 10 also allows an individual adjustment of the lace resistance in the upper and lower zone of action 11, 12, since both zones simultaneously with the help of the luster retractor 14 and the handle 14 'of the lace tightener 14 with a view to a tightening or in terms of release the laces are functionally connected. To set the lace resistance of the upper zone of action 11 and the lower zone of action 12 (and thus the middle zone of action 19) all the zones of action 11, 12, 19 associated with the common Lenkelstraffer 14 with the handle 14 ', which acts in the preferred embodiment as lockable Lenkelstraffer.

By actuating the lace tightener 14 or the handle 14 ', the upper and lower zone of action 11, 12 are simultaneously tightened, wherein the set lacing resistance is maintained by locking the lace adjuster with the aid of the lace lock 18.

In the illustrated example, the lace tightener 14 is formed as an elongated loop 17 that is manageable for opening and closing the boot 1. For this purpose, the laces sections coming from the deflections 15 ', 15 "arranged on one side of the boot tongue are not guided, as usual, over a deflection arranged on the opposite tongue side. Rather, this deflection is dispensed with and the two lace sections are lengthened in such a way The lace sections are thereby extended so far that they can be guided by a leg lock 18 arranged in the region of the upper shaft end, wherein a free end of the lace loop 17 protrudes so far beyond the lace lock 18 In practice, the length of the free end of the lace loop 17 projecting beyond the lace lock is at least the boot height of the boot 1.

To prevent entanglement or entanglement of the extended lace portions 17 and threading, they are arranged in a guide 16 which is provided in or on the boot body 2. The guide 16 includes flexible guide tubes 16 'which are incorporated into the boot material and attached to the boot material. A tongue-side end of the guide tube tubes 16 'is respectively disposed between and approximately at the level of the deflections 15', 15 "of the lower and upper zone of action 11, 12. The two tongue-side ends of the tubes 16 'are thus spaced apart and with respect to the deflections 15 ', 15 "arranged so that the lace sections extend at an angle in the tube 16' into it, which can be chosen so that on the one hand a uniform lacing angle of the lace 13 results over the entire lacing, and on the other hand in the transition region 19 between the upper zone of action 11 and the lower zone of action 12 of the Schürsenkel 13 crosses and thus forms a voltage-compensating zone there.

Below the lace lock 18, the two lace sections emerge from the guide 16 and into the lace lock 18. It is thereby achieved that only a very short lace portion is exposed on the boot body 2, whereby a snagging of the lace 13 is effectively minimized.

The free end of the sock 13 passes through the grip of the handle 14 ', which is freely movable along the lace loop 17, which allows a comfortable tightening of the lace loop 17 or the lacing.

The two ends of the continuous shoelace 13 are respectively fastened in the region of the boot shank or of the lower region of the forefoot.

It should be noted that instead of the numbers shown in the figures of two deflections 15 in the upper zone of action 11 and three deflections 15 in the lower zone of action 12, a different number of deflections can be selected. For example, four or six deflections may be provided, wherein the extended lace loop 17 does not necessarily have to be provided between two directly arranged or downstream deflections 15 ', 15 ", but more deflections may be provided between the two lace sections of the lace loop 17.

For lacing or loosening the boot 1, the lacing shown in the figures is operated as follows. By tightening the upper zone of action 11 associated lace loop the lacing is tightened in this area, so that the lacing resistance of the boot can be adjusted. Due to the functional interaction of the upper and the lower effective zone 11, 12, the lacing resistance in the area of the forefoot is achieved at the same time. Since the central zone of action 19 is directly functionally connected to the upper and lower zone of action 11, 12, a tension compensation between the upper and the lower zone of action 11, 12 takes place to a certain extent. Due to the tension compensation over the central zone of action 19, the flexing region of the boot 1 is also subjected to a certain tension, so that the foot also experiences a secure hold in the flexing area, without the sensory flexing of the foot being constricted.

For the exit from the boot 1, it is sufficient if the upper and lower zone of action 11, 12 jointly associated limb lock 18 is released, since at the same time the lacing in the upper and in the lower zone of action 11, 12 is loosened.

The invention is not limited to the particularly preferred embodiment of the boot shown in the figures. Rather, any combinations of the individual features disclosed in this specification are conceivable. <B> LIST OF REFERENCES </ b> 1 Boots 2 boot body 2a upper part of the boot body 2 B lower part of the boot body 3 Recess in the (outer) material of the boot body 4 boots tongue 5 pull tab 10 lacing 11 upper zone of action of the lacing system 12 lower zone of action of the lacing system 13 shoelace 13a first end of the lace 13b second end of the lace 14 handle 15 Lace deflection 16 lace guide 17 shoelace segment 18 lace lock 19 middle zone of action of the lacing system
