Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a sports footwear structure or a sports footwear component, such as a shell, in particular for a ski boot.
  • a sports footwear component such as a shell, in particular for a ski boot.
  • the invention is also applicable to sports footwear comprising components of plastic material assimilable to a ski boot, such as boots for snowboarding or alpine skiing, boots for cross-country skiing, mountaineering or rock-climbing boots, ice-skating or roller-skating boots, cycling shoes and other types of sport shoes with components made of plastic materials.
  • sports footwear that require a structure providing a certain rigidity for use in sport disciplines such as skiing, snowboarding, skating and such sports generally comprise at least a shell or structure made of plastic material suitable to enclose the foot, or comprising rigid or semi-rigid materials that provide characteristics of rigidity to the footwear.
  • Such characteristics are necessary when the footwear is used in sport disciplines that require the transmission of the movements from the foot to a sport article, such as a ski, for its management or control, or when high precision and a sensitive touch is required in supporting the foot, such as for example in rock-climbing boots.
  • EP 0 356 398 A2 and EP 0 676 925 B1 patents disclose a sports boot, in particular a ski boot or an in-line skate boot, made up of elements joined to each other in a removable manner and adjustable in length and width to be adapted to the size and shape of the foot.
  • the rigid shell made up of pieces joined to each other and to the outsole, contains within it a soft insulating shoe liner.
  • the structure of the boot of the two above patents, and in particular the shell holding the foot, is particularly complex, as it is made up of numerous components assembled together. This characteristic makes the assembly and the disassembling of the boot particularly complicated, in addition to lowering the general rigidity of the boot due to the slack that is created between the interconnected parts and that inevitably increases as the same parts wear out.
  • Patent application WO 2010/083010 A2 refers to a composite sports footwear structure in which the shell is made of two half shells to which is applied the outsole.
  • the two half shells are permanently fastened to each other, thus making it possible to replace only the outsole without also requiring the removal of the half shells.
  • the permanent fastening of the two half shells to each other is necessary due to the fact that these are the only elements that create a rigid structure for the boot.
  • the main objective of the present invention is thus to devise a structure for sport footwear or a component of the same, in particular a shell of a ski boot, that is capable of overcoming the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • one purpose of the present invention is to devise a sports footwear structure, or a component of the same, that is easily assemblable in a removable manner so that it can be adapted to different sport disciplines or to the shape of the user's foot or that it allows the easy replacement of components subject to wear.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to devise a sports footwear structure that is constructively simplified.
  • a further purpose is to devise a sports footwear structure that is capable of guaranteeing through time the maintenance of the characteristics of stability, rigidity, heat insulation and water- or moisture-tightness required for sport use.
  • One not negligible purpose is to devise a sport footwear structure that achieves the above objective and purposes at competitive costs and that can be obtained with the usual well-known machinery, plants and equipment.
  • a sports footwear or a component of the same such as the shell of a ski boot suitable to hold and enclose the foot of a user.
  • the shell comprises, according to the prior art, a hull to hold the foot enclosed at the instep, through a pair of overlapping flaps or through a pad or tongue that can be lifted to allow the insertion of the foot, an outsole and an insole for supporting the foot.
  • the innovation according to the present invention consists of making the parts that form the shell as separate elements and to join them together in a removable manner.
  • the shell comprises a first sidewall 2 and a second sidewall 3 made separately and suitable to be arranged respectively at the medial side and at the lateral side of the foot, extending from a region near the toe to a region close to the heel, involving the side regions of the foot substantially up to around the malleoli.
  • the two sidewalls 2 and 3 can be removably coupled, by means of known removable fastening elements such as screws, to an insole 4, as exemplified in figures 3 and 4 .
  • the lower portions 5, 6 of the two sidewalls 2 and 3 are countershaped with respect to the side profile of the insole 4, as exemplified in figure 5 , to allow the removable coupling and fastening through suitable removable fastening means 7 arranged transversally to the longitudinal extension of the insole 4.
  • first sub-assembly that comprises an inner hull suitable to hold at least the sides of the foot, and advantageously the rear part of the heel, as shown in figures 3, 4 and 5 .
  • the outer hull 8 is formed essentially by an outsole 9, possibly having a shape suitable to be interfaced with sport equipment such as a ski binding for connecting to a ski, from which at least two portions 10 and 11 extend upwardly, each being respectively adapted to enclose at least the rear portion of the foot and the ankle and the toe region.
  • sport equipment such as a ski binding for connecting to a ski
  • the rear portion 10 of the hull 8 may have extensions 12 that extend frontward to cover the regions of the malleoli and provide a support vamp pivotably associated with the hull 8.
  • the hull 8 can be removably associated with the first sub-assembly at the lower surface of the insole 4 opposite the foot support surface through suitable removable fastening means 13, such as screws, inserted in prearranged through holes 14 preferably arranged in heel and toe support regions.
  • a second sub-assembly comprising the sidewalls 2 and 3, removably associated with the lateral edges of the insole 4, and the outer hull 8 removably associated with the lower surface of the insole 4, which holds the two sidewalls 2 and 3 joined to each other and encloses the front regions of the toe and the rear region of the heel and the ankle.
  • An instep covering element removably associated with at least the hull 8, is provided to form the sports footwear according to the present invention.
  • the covering element may consist of a covering element 15 to form an instep closing tongue or, as shown in figures 1 , 2 and 7 , it comprises a pair of flaps 16, 17 overlapping each other and fastened by means of suitable prior art closing means (not shown).
  • the covering element 15 If a tongue is to be provided, it is sufficient for the covering element 15 to be joined to the toe portion 11 of the hull 8, so as to allow it to be lifted for inserting the foot, while if the flaps 16, 17 are to be provided, in addition to being joined at the toe 11, the covering element 15 must also be joined laterally to the sidewalls 2 and 3.
  • a structure of a sports footwear suitable to hold the foot of a user is provided, or a component of the same such as a shell of a ski boot to which can be pivotably associated a vamp suitable to enclose the lower part of the leg.
  • the sidewalls 2 and 3 can be made by thermoforming or by injection of a rigid material, such as a plastic or composite material, of limited thickness. To them can be associated a layer of additional soft and/or insulating material and/or a material than adapts to the particular shape of the user's foot and arranged toward the foot, as shown in figure 8 , so as to provide characteristics of comfort, thermal insulation or adaptability, for example through thermoforming or milling.
  • the outer hull 8 is also made of rigid material, preferably injected thermoplastic material, and the outsole 9 can be configured for different uses, such as clipping to a downhill ski binding, cross-country skis, alpine skiing or snowboarding, or provided with a grooved tread for use in trekking or mountaineering, or for other types of uses or sport disciplines.
  • the covering element 15 that forms the tongue or the flaps 16, 17 can be made of soft plastic material to make it easier to insert the foot into the boot.
  • the areas joining the various parts can be suitably sealed with appropriate gaskets to prevent the entrance of water, snow or moisture.
  • the footwear or the shell described above can be easily and removably assembled so as to adapt the footwear to different sport disciplines or to the particular shape of the user's foot, or to allow the easy replacement of components subject to wear, while guaranteeing the characteristics of stability, rigidity, thermal insulation, and waterproofness or moistureproofness required for sport applications.
  • the footwear structure thus obtained is also simplified in construction, and its production does not present particular design or construction problems.
