Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical sector concerning equipment used in ski mountaineering.
  • the invention relates to a front insert for a ski boot for ski mountaineering, for enabling the hooking of the ski boot to a ski mountaineering binding, such as a toe-piece of a binding for ski mountaineering.
  • a toe-piece of a ski mountaineering binding comprises a base element which is fixed to the ski, and a pair of jaws on which hooking elements, facing one another, are mounted, known by the term "pins", which serve to hook the toe-piece to the front part of a ski boot for ski mountaineering.
  • the jaws are mounted rotatably on the base element in such a way as to be movable, owing to the presence of elastic means that are activatable by means of a lever, in order to move the hooking elements (the pins) between a splayed configuration, wherein the hooking elements are moved away from one another by a distance that is such as to enable the insertion between them of a front part of a ski boot for ski mountaineering, and a neared configuration neared hooking configuration wherein the hooking elements are moved towards one another to hook the ski boot.
  • the hooking elements of the toe-piece of the binding can thus be moved from the splayed configuration to the neared configuration so that, when placed in the neared hooking configuration, they are in an operating plane that is transversal to the ski and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ski.
  • a prior-art front insert (9) for a ski boot for ski mountaineering such as for example the one illustrated in figure 1 , comprises an anchoring body (90), for anchoring and fixing to the front part of a ski boot (not illustrated).
  • the anchoring body (90) has an elongate shape and is made in such a way as to comprise two heads (91, 92) at the relative two ends.
  • the anchoring body (90) is made in such a way as to have an extension (length) such that, once it is inserted in the ski boot, the two heads (91, 92) are located at the opposite lateral walls of the front part of the ski boot.
  • the known insert (9) also comprises two holes (910) (of which only one is visible in figure 1 ) which are made in the two heads (91, 92) and which are accessible from outside.
  • the two holes (910) are made in such a way that the relative surface (i.e. the walls of the hole) has a matching shape to that of the hooking elements (i.e. the pins) which are present in the two jaws of the toe-pieces of the ski mountaineering bindings (the pins are not illustrated as they are of known type).
  • the hooking elements insert by form coupling in the holes (910), hooking the ski boot to the toe-piece and thus to the ski.
  • the holes (910) have a functional surface in contact with the external surface of the pins, so as to guarantee a reciprocal contact to guarantee the hooking.
  • the two holes (910) present in the two heads (91, 92) of the insert (9) mounted in the front part of the ski boot are aligned according to a transversal alignment axis to the ski boot.
  • the alignment axis of the holes must be perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ski.
  • the alignment axis of the holes is located in the operating plane of the hooking elements when placed in the neared hooking configuration: this enables the hooking elements to insert into the holes and carry out the hooking of the ski boot.
  • the skis and therefore the ski boots, are subject to various stresses which can lead to a misalignment between the pins and the holes, i.e. to displacements and dragging of the pins with respect to the walls of the holes, even leading to the unhooking of the toe-piece from the ski boot.
  • the hooking and unhooking operations of the toe-piece from the ski boot are repeated a very high number of times, i.e. the pins are repeatedly inserted into and extracted from the holes, and this can lead, in the case of a non-perfect alignment, to stresses and blows at the position of the entry to the holes, which can therefore be susceptible to deformations.
  • the front part of the ski boot can be subject to blows or impacts, for example when striking a stone, encountering ice, or other objects or obstacles, precisely at the two heads of the insert and thus the entry of the holes, which might therefore be subject to deformations.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to provide a novel front insert for a ski boot for ski mountaineering, for hooking the ski boot to a ski mountaineering binding, in particular a toe-piece of a ski mountaineering binding, able to obviate the drawbacks set out in the foregoing.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a novel front insert for a ski boot for ski mountaineering which can enable the skier to configure and predispose the insert with the holes always perfectly conformed and dimensioned for the coupling and hooking with the hooking elements of a toe-piece of a ski mountaineering binding, and which front does not require an eventual replacement of the ski boot.
  • reference numeral (100) denotes the front insert for the ski boot (S) for ski mountaineering of the present invention, in its entirety and in the preferred but not exclusive embodiments thereof.
  • the front insert (100) comprises an anchoring body (1) comprising two heads (10, 20) (see for example figure 2 ) and having dimensions such that the two heads (10, 20), when the insert (100) is fixed to the ski boot (S) for ski mountaineering, are positioned at lateral portions of the front part (AS) of the ski boot (S) (see for example figure 3A in which the ski boot (S) for ski mountaineering is only partly illustrated, in the front part (AS) in which the insert of the invention is present).
  • front insert (100) of the invention comprises:
  • front insert (100) is such that:
  • the insert (100) can assume a first configuration of use (U1), when the first contact element (3) is inserted and positioned in the first housing (11) and the second contact element (4) is inserted and positioned in the second housing (21) (see for example figure 3A ), and a second configuration of non-use and maintenance (U2), when at least one or both of the first contact element (3) and the second contact element (4) is decoupled and completely extracted from the relative first housing (11) or second housing (21) (see for example figure 3B , which illustrates the situation in which the first contact element (3) has been decoupled and completely extracted from the first housing (11) or figures 5C , 6C or 7D in which both the contact elements have been decoupled and extracted from the relative housings).
  • the front insert (100) of the invention is thus realised and configured in such a way that, when the first contact element (3) is inserted and positioned in the first housing (11) and the second contact element (4) is inserted and positioned in the second housing (21), the first hole (31) of the first contact element (3) and the second hole (41) of the second contact element (4) are aligned to one another along an alignment plane which is transversal and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the ski, when the ski boot is rested on the ski, with the front part inserted between a first hooking element and a second hooking element, splayed with respect to one another, of a toe-piece of a ski mountaineering binding fixed to the ski.
  • the skier when required the skier will be able to uncouple and extract, from the relative housing, the contact element for which the relative hole has deteriorated, has been deformed or has become worn, and replace it with a new contact element, having a perfectly pristine hole, which will then be inserted and positioned in the housing.
  • This operation can be repeated each time a hole of one of the contact elements shows signs of deterioration, deformation or wear.
  • the skier will thus have available a ski boot that always has a front insert perfectly suitable to allow an optimal hooking of the ski boot to a ski mountaineering binding, such as a toe-piece of a ski mountaineering binding.
  • the skier will restore, in the insert of the ski boot, the optimal conditions for hooking thereof to the toe-piece of the ski mountaineering binding, without having recourse to the replacement of the whole ski boot with a new ski boot.
  • the skier will therefore be able to buy a ski boot in which the front insert of the invention is present, as well as contact elements with relative holes to be used, when required, as replacement parts of the original contact elements when one or both thereof have the relative hole in a deteriorated, deformed or worn state.
  • front insert (100) of the invention which might be present in the possible various embodiments, are the following.
  • the front insert (100) can comprise removable positioning and blocking means (5) of the first contact element (3) and the second contact element (4).
  • the removable positioning and blocking means (5) are conformed and configured in such a way as to removably maintain the first contact element (3) in the first housing (11), when the first contact element (3) is inserted and positioned in the first housing (11), and to enable a decoupling and a complete extraction of the first contact element (3) from the first housing (11) following an application of a force on the first contact element (3), and also to be able to retain, removably, the second contact element (4) in the second housing (21), when the second contact element (4) is inserted and positioned in the second housing (21), and to enable a decoupling and a complete extraction of the second contact element (4) from the second housing (21) following an application of a force on the second contact element (4).
  • the front insert (100) can further and in particular comprise a first recess (311) realised in the wall (310) of the first hole (31) and a second recess (411) realised in the wall (410) of the second hole (41).
  • the force to be exerted on the first contact element (3) and the second contact element (4) to disengage and decouple them from the removable retaining and blocking means (50) can for example be a traction force, which is applied using a hooked element (not illustrated) which can be inserted in the first recess (311) or in the second recess (411).
  • the traction force can be exerted by applying a magnetic force attraction on the first contact element (3) and the second contact element (4), or possibly also in other equivalent ways.
  • the first contact element (3) can be conformed in such a way as to comprise a head (300), in which the first hole (31) is realised, with the first housing (11) which is conformed in such a way as to comprise a first external housing seat (11A) delimited by walls having a shape such as to be able to receive, by form coupling, the head (300) of the first contact element (3) and preferably to define an anti-rotational coupling so as to prevent a rotation of the first contact element (3) with respect to the first housing (11).
