Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ski boot.
  • the present invention relates to a mountaineering ski boot, use to which the following disclosure will explicitly refer without however losing in generality.
  • more recent mountaineering ski boots basically consist of a rigid shell made of plastic material and which is shaped so as to accommodate the foot of the skier, and is provided on the bottom with a front sole and a rear heel made of non-slip elastomeric material; and of a rigid tubular cuff made of plastic material and which is substantially C-shaped so as to embrace the lower section of the skier's leg from behind, and is hinged to the upper part of the shell so as to rotate about a transversal reference axis which is substantially perpendicular to the midplane of the boot, and is also locally substantially coincident with the articulation axis of the ankle.
  • the above-mentioned mountaineering ski boots are also provided with an inner liner made of soft and thermal insulating material, which is inserted into the shell and the cuff, and is shaped so as to accommodate and protect both the foot and the lower section of the skier's leg; and with a series of manually-operated closing members that are located both on the shell and on the cuff, and are structured so as to selectively close/tighten the shell and the cuff to immobilize the skier's leg stably inside the liner.
  • mountaineering ski boots are generally also provided with a manually-operated cuff locking device which is usually located in the area immediately above the heel of the boot, straddling the shell and the cuff, and is structured so as to be able to selectively and alternatively, rigidly lock the cuff to the shell in a given tilted position; or to unlock/release the cuff completely from the shell so as to allow the cuff to freely swing on the shell.
  • a manually-operated cuff locking device which is usually located in the area immediately above the heel of the boot, straddling the shell and the cuff, and is structured so as to be able to selectively and alternatively, rigidly lock the cuff to the shell in a given tilted position; or to unlock/release the cuff completely from the shell so as to allow the cuff to freely swing on the shell.
  • the lower part of the rigid shell is instead specifically structured so as to couple in a rigid and stable, though easily releasable, manner with the toe-piece and with the heel-piece of a mountaineering ski binding device, which is in turn structured to be rigidly fixed on the back of a downhill ski or the like.
  • the toe-piece and the heel-piece of the mountaineering ski binding device are structured so as to allow the skier to raise the heel of the ski boot, when necessary, while always and in any case keeping the tip of the boot, or better the tip of the shell, firmly anchored to the ski.
  • Aim of the present invention is to improve the kinematic interaction between the mountaineering ski boot and the mountaineering ski binding device, so as to increase the skier's performance without however significantly increasing the cost of the bindings and/or of the mountaineering ski boots.
  • a ski boot as defined in claim 1, and preferably, though not necessarily, in any one of the claims dependent thereon.
  • numeral 1 indicates as a whole a ski boot, and in particular a ski boot specifically structured for practicing the sport of ski mountaineering.

  • a transversal reference axis R which is locally substantially perpendicular to the vertical midplane of the boot (i
  • the lower part of shell 2 is preferably specifically structured/shaped so as to couple/bind in a rigid and stable, though easily releasable, manner with the toe-piece and with the heel-piece of a known mountaineering ski binding device, which is in turn structured to be rigidly fixed on the back of a downhill ski or the like.
  • Cuff 3 instead is preferably fixed in freely rotatable manner to shell 2 by means of two lateral connection hinges 4 which are located on the inner and outer lateral sides of shell 2 and of cuff 3, aligned along axis R, so as to allow cuff 3 to freely swing both forwards and backwards on shell 2, while always remaining on a reference plane which is orthogonal to axis R and is substantially coincident with the midplane of the boot.
  • the ski boot 1 preferably also comprises an inner liner 5 which is preferably made of soft and/or thermal insulating material, is accommodated inside shell 2 and cuff 3 preferably, though not necessarily, in removable manner, and is shaped so as to accommodate, envelope and protect the foot and the lower section of the leg of the user; and a manually-operated, mechanical boot closing system which is structured so as to be able to selectively close/tighten shell 2 and cuff 3 for immobilizing the leg of the user stably inside the ski boot 1, or better, the inner liner 5.
