Definitions
- the present invention relates to an insert for the customization of a sport or medical item, i.e. for the adaptation of said sport or medical item to the specific morphology of a single user.
- the present invention relates to an insert for the customization of a sport or medical item which comprises at least one layer of thermoformable material.
- the invention relates to an insert for the customization of a sport or medical item of the kind comprising a substantially soft inner element, oriented towards the user's body, and a substantially rigid outer element.
- sport items that may employ the insert according to the invention include sport footwear, such as ski boots, and protective clothing, such as protective helmets.
- Non-limiting examples of medical items that may employ the insert according to the invention include guards, such as guards used during convalescence and rehabilitation in case of traumas.
- the present invention also relates to a sport or medical item that can be customized by means of the above-mentioned insert, as well as to a method for the customization of a sport or medical item making use of the above-mentioned insert.
- Sport footwear in particular ski boots
- ski boots compliance of the footwear with the morphology of the foot of the single user not only significantly increases the user's comfort, but also improves the maneuverability of the ski, as even minimal movements of the user's foot are effectively transmitted to the ski boot and hence to the ski. Similar improvements in terms of both user's comfort and performances can be obtained in the case, for instance, of roller skates or ice skates.
- the compliance of the helmet to the morphology of the head of the single user is critical to the effectiveness of the helmet itself.
- Analogous examples can be made in the medical field, in particular with reference to medical aids to be used during convalescence and rehabilitation further to traumas, such as guards to be used in case of fractures.
- thermoformable inserts between the soft inner shoe and the outer rigid shell of the ski boot.
- thermoformable insert is heated up above its thermoforming temperature, and then a pressure is applied from the outside to said insert so that it perfectly fits the morphology of the foot of the user; finally, the insert is cooled down below its thermoforming temperature, so that it stiffens to the desired configuration.
- thermoformable material is injected into the cavity defined between the inner shoe and the outer shell of said ski boot.
- the methods of prior art are not flexible and they do not allow to easily modify the shape of a ski boot in case of need due to a variation in the morphology of the user's foot.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the drawbacks of prior art by providing an insert which allows to customize a sport or medical item with precision, and in a way that can be controlled and easily modified over time in case of need.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a sport or medical item which can be customized with precision, and in a way that can be controlled and easily modified over time for meeting changes in the user's morphology.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a method that - by using the above-mentioned insert - allows to customize a sport or medical item with precision, and in a way that can be controlled and easily modified over time in case of need.
- thermoformable material of the insert Thanks to the fact that a variable volume element is connected, either removably or non-removably, to the layer of thermoformable material of the insert according to the invention, it is possible to obtain a precise and accurate customization of the sport or medical item to which the insert is connected by varying the volume of said variable volume element during the thermoforming of said thermoformable layer.
- the shape and structure of the insert according to the invention, as well as its arrangement relative to the sport or medical item, can be chosen in each case so as to ensure optimum customization of said item at the most critical regions.
- said variable volume element comprises a pair of walls joined to each other along their perimeter so as to define therebetween an airtight housing and preferably one or more contact points between said walls are provided inside said perimeter.
- said airtight housing can include a plurality of separate and possibly independent pockets; thanks to this arrangement, the customization of the sport or medical item can be accurately controlled.
- the insert according to the invention can be advantageously applied to a wide variety of sport and medical items, and more particularly to sport and medical items including a substantially soft inner element, oriented towards the user's body, and a substantially rigid outer element.
- Ski boots, skates, helmets and other protective clothing - among sport items - as well as guards, corsets and similar aids for rehabilitation - among medical articles - can be mentioned by way of example.
- the insert according to the invention can also be applied to sport and medical items having a different structure, and namely to sport and medical items that do not include any rigid outer structure, such as trekking shoes and other footwear.
- a rigid outer casing may be provided, which will be temporarily associated to the sport and medical item in a dedicated way during its process of customization.
- the insert according to the invention can advantageously comprise a second layer of thermoformable material, the variable volume element being interposed between said first and said second layer of thermoformable material.
- the insert according to the invention can be adapted with precision and accuracy not only to the user's morphology, but also, at the same time, to the contour of said rigid outer element.
- the inner shoe 100 of a ski boot is schematically illustrated.
- the inner shoe 100 is made of a soft material and comprises a sole 102 and an upper 104, said upper comprising a first portion 104a intended to accommodate the user's foot and a second portion 104b intended to accommodate the user's ankle.
- the inner shoe 100 is manufactured as a non-customized item, with standard dimensions for all the inner shoes of the same size.
- an insert 1 according to the invention is joined to the inner shoe 100 for the customization of said inner shoe to the user's morphology.
- the insert 1 may be sized and shaped so as to be located at the zones of the user's body which are more sensitive and relevant in view of the specific use.
- the insert 1 is sized and shaped so as to be substantially located at the malleolar region 104c of the upper 104 of the inner shoe 100, on both sides of said shoe.
- the insert 1 comprises at least one layer of thermoformable material 3 and a variable volume element 5 connected to said layer of thermoformable material 3.
- variable volume element 5 can be connected to said layer of thermoformable material 3 either in a removable, detachable way or in a non-removable, permanent way. More particularly, said variable volume element 5 is formed by a pair of walls 5a, 5b, made for example of plastic material, joined to each other at least along their outer perimeter so as to form an airtight body 5c, the inner volume of which can be varied by injecting inside it a predetermined amount of gas - for instance, air - or fluid - for instance, foam.
- variable volume element 5 is an inflatable element and for this purpose the airtight body 5c is connected through a suitable duct 108 to a pump 106 which is able to blow air inside it.
- the airtight body 5c does not evenly extend over the whole extension of the insert 1; on the contrary, one or more points inside the outer perimeter of the walls 5a, 5b are provided, at which points said walls are brought into contact with each other so as to form corresponding contact points 7.
- These contact points 7, which are suitably positioned with respect to the inner shoe and to the user's foot, is to create points of rigid contact between the upper 104 of the inner shoe 100 and the outside, without the interposition of any elastic element, so as to guarantee a correct transmission of the forces from the user's foot to the outside.
- Said pockets may be in communication with one another (if the contact lines are interrupted) or separate from one another (if the contact lines are continuous). In the latter case, it is possible to envisage to connect the different pockets to the pump 106 either via a common connection means or via separate connection means, so as to blow air into different pockets in an independent and separate way.
- FIG. 2 and 2A an alternative embodiment of the invention is shown, the insert 1 according to the invention being joined, also in this case, to the inner shoe 100 of a ski boot.
- the insert 1 is sized and shaped so as to be substantially located at the malleolar region 104c of the upper 104 of the inner shoe 100, on both sides of said inner shoe.
- the insert 1 comprises a first layer of thermoformable material 3, a second layer of thermoformable material 9 and a variable volume element 5 interposed between said first and said second layers of thermoformable material 3, 9.
- variable volume element 5 can be connected to said layers of thermoformable material 3, 9 either in a removable and detachable way or in a non-removable and permanent way.
- variable volume element 5 substantially has the same structure as illustrated with reference to the previous embodiment and, more particularly, it is formed by a pair of walls 5a, 5b, which define therebetween an airtight housing 5c that can be connected to means 106,108 for blowing inside it air or another fluid. Moreover, also in this embodiment, the variable volume element 5 includes one or more contact points 7 inside the outer perimeter of the walls 5a, 5b, at which points said walls are brought into contact with each other.
- the layers of thermoformable material 3, 9 perfectly adhere to the variable volume element 5 interposed between them, so that at the contact points 7 also said layers of thermoformable material are almost brought into contact with each other, being separated from each other only by the thickness of the variable volume element 5.
- thermoformable material 9 arranged at the outer side of the variable volume element 5 and therefore directed towards the outer shell of the ski boot.
- the insert 1 according to the invention can be adapted not only to the morphology of the user's foot but also, at the same time, to the contour of the outer shell of the ski boot.
- the inner shoe 100 to which the insert 1 according to the invention is joined, is inserted into the rigid outer shell 200, which includes a sole 202, an upper 204 and a cuff 206.
- Both the inner shoe 100 and the shell 200 are non-customized, standard items. Accordingly, the inner shoe 100 is not adapted to the morphology of the user's foot; on the contrary, there is a gap 302 between the user's foot and the inner wall of the upper 104 of the inner shoe 100. Similarly, there is a gap 304 between the insert 1 joined to the outer wall of the upper 104 of the inner shoe 100 and the inner wall of the shell 200.
- insert 1 according to the invention interposed between the inner shoe 100 and the rigid shell 200 at the most sensitive regions, such as the region of the malleoli, allows to overcome these drawbacks and to customize the ski boot.
- the customization of the ski boot comprises the following steps:
- the insert according to the invention allows to customize the inner shoe 100 of a ski boot in a precise, accurate and controllable way.
- the ski boot after thermoforming of the insert 1 is shown in Figure 3B .
- variable volume element 5 the volume of the variable volume element 5 is increased, thus pressing and deforming the first layer of thermoformable material 3 towards the inside; as a consequence, the upper 104 of the inner shoe 100 is pressed inward as well, until it adheres against the user's foot.
- the increase in the volume of the variable volume element 5 has pressed and deformed the second layer of thermoformable material 9 towards the outside until it comes into contact with the inner surface of the upper 204 of the shell 200.
- variable volume element 5 is integrated in the insert 1
- the configuration of the layers of thermoformable material 3, 9 can be modified over time in case of changes in the morphology of the user.
- variable volume element 5 is connected to the layers of thermoformable material 3, 9 and can therefore be kept connected with the sport or medical item over time
- shape of said layers can be modified over time if necessary, for example in case of changes in the morphology of the user. It will be sufficient to heat again the insert 1 to bring it to a temperature higher than the thermoforming temperature of the layers of thermoformable material 3, 9 and appropriately blowing / sucking air into / from the airtight body 5c of the variable volume element 5 so as to adapt the layers of thermoformable material 3, 9 to the new, modified morphology of the user.
- the insert 1 is joined to the outer surface of the inner shoe of a ski boot, for example by sewing.
- one of the components of the insert - for example the layer of thermoformable material - is joined to the outer surface of the inner shoe of the ski boot and the other component - for example, the variable volume element - is joined to the inner surface of the outer shell of the ski boot, provided that such components are connected to each other once the ski boot is assembled, and namely during the customization of the same.
- the insert according to the invention achieves the objects indicated above, allowing the customization of sport or medical items in a way that is accurate, repeatable and easily modifiable over time.
- thermoforming and contextually changing the volume of the insert according to the invention may be carried out directly on the sport or medical item.
