Definitions

  • the present invention particularly relates to ski boots and more generally to sports shoes which require firm support of the foot for the sporting practice to which they are dedicated. This is particularly the case in the field of skiing, whether on-piste alpine skiing, ski touring and to a lesser extent cross-country skiing.
  • the top of the foot and in particular the top of the instep. In fact, it is on this area that the closing hooks press.
  • thermoformable foams to make the inner liner. These foams have the particularity of being able to deform permanently after being heated. Even if the use of these foams has brought a real improvement in user comfort, they cannot respond adequately to all situations. In particular, they can only be advantageously placed in areas where the thickness of the foam is significant. This is why, in general, thermoformable foam pads are often used on the sides of the liner. In addition, it is necessary to use a heating device to bring the liner to the temperature allowing thermoforming.
  • thermoforming of the shell is also progress to guarantee a perfect match between the interior volume of the shell and the user's foot.
  • EP 3 581 053 A1 discloses a ski boot according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the objective of the invention is to complete the known techniques for adapting the comfort of a ski boot with simple, accessible means which concern the top of the foot.
  • a ski boot comprising an outer shell and an internal comfort liner, said liner having a front opening and a movable tongue which is fixed at its lower end to the forefoot area of the liner thanks to removable attachment means and which ensures the closure of said front opening;
  • the tongue being made up of a rigid portion, which is integral with said removable attachment means and a flexible portion, said rigid and flexible portions being independent of each other;
  • the flexible portion of said tongue comprising a rear face intended to come into contact with the foot of a user and a front face; said front face comprising a first opening allowing said rigid portion to be placed and removed in an interior housing provided between said rear face and said front face, as well as a second opening through which said removable attachment means can pass when the rigid portion is in place in the interior housing.
  • the rigid portion comprises traction means making it possible to pull the tongue upwards, said traction means being provided to pass through said first opening when the rigid portion of the tongue is in place in the interior housing.
  • the front face of the flexible portion comprises an upper panel and a lower panel, the second opening being at the junction between the lower panel and the rear face of the flexible portion.
  • removable shock-absorbing pads can be glued in various carefully chosen locations on the rear side of the rigid portion.
  • FIG. 1 shows a ski boot 1 according to the invention. It includes an outer shell 2, an inner liner 3 and several hooks 11 which ensure the closure of the shoe.
  • the hull can be made up of several parts. In the specific case, it comprises a bottom of the shell and a collar which are two distinct elements but held together by fixing means.
  • This shell 2 is generally made by injection of plastic materials although other manufacturing processes are possible such as for example the shaping of composite materials such as an assembly of carbon and resin fabrics.
  • the shell must be relatively rigid in order to ensure good support for the skier's foot and good transmission of force to allow the ski to be controlled. This rigidity is a source of discomfort on the top of the foot, especially when the hooks are tight.
  • the comfort of the foot relies largely on the internal liner 3, which is shown in front perspective at the figure 2 .
  • This is a footwear item made of many distinct pieces which will not all be described in detail here.
  • the liner has a large opening 31 on the top of it. This opening 31 is closed by a tongue 5 fixed on the front of the liner 32.
  • the means of fixing the tongue 5 on the liner can be of all kinds as long as they are removable. Indeed, one of the characteristics of the ski boot of the invention is that the user has the possibility of easily removing the tongue in order to modify it in order to adapt it to his morphology.
  • the means for fixing the tongue consist of, on the one hand, a first hook-and-loop strip 34 placed on the front of the liner and a second complementary hook-and-loop strip 511 placed, as will be seen later at the lower end of tab 5.
  • a flange 33 is placed at the base of the opening 31 to ensure that during putting on or taking off, the tongue 5 does not leave its position inside the liner.
  • This flange 33 consists of an inextensible bridge 331 and an elastic band 332.
  • the tongue 5 can be easily separated from the rest of the liner by disconnecting the first and second hook-and-loop strips from each other.
  • FIG 3 shows tab 5 in perspective. This consists of a flexible portion 52 and a rigid portion 51. said rigid and flexible portions are independent of each other, that is to say they can easily be separated one from the other.
  • the rigid portion 51 is shown alone in the figure 5 . It is mainly made up of a solid plate 512 obtained by injection of plastic material, for example polyamide or polyurethane.
  • the rigid portion 51 gives the tongue its structure and its support and also ensures the fixing of the tongue 5 to the rest of the liner.
  • the means for fixing the tongue on the front of the liner are constituted by the second hook-and-loop strip 511 which extends the rigid portion 51 forward.
  • the hook-and-loop strip 511 can itself be fixed by seam to the plate of the rigid portion.
  • the flexible portion 52 which is shown in Figure 6 , separated from the rigid portion 51, is in the form of an assembly of several flexible elements of textile type, foam panels or even plastic films, which are fixed to each other by gluing, sewing or other equivalent method. It has a rear face 521 and a front face 522. The main function of the rear face is to improve comfort, in particular by preventing the solid plate of the rigid portion from generating painful pressure points on the foot of the user.
  • the front face 522 consisting of an upper panel 5221 and a lower panel 5222, has the function of ensuring the joining of the rigid portion 51 and the flexible portion 52 of the tongue 5.
  • the face front 522 has a first opening 523 which is located between the upper and lower panels and which allows the installation of the rigid portion 51 inside the flexible portion 52, between the front face 522 and the rear face 521 of that -this.
  • the flexible portion 52 has an interior housing 525 provided between the front face 522 and the rear face 521, access to which is provided by the first opening 523.
  • the flexible portion 52 is also characterized by the presence of a second opening 524, placed at the lower end of the tongue, at the interface between front face 522 and rear face 521. As can be seen in the figure 4 , this opening is used for the passage of the second hook-and-loop strip 511.
  • the rear face 521 is characterized by a greater thickness than the front face in order to guarantee better comfort for the user. This thickness is obtained by installing one or more foam panels.
  • the rigid portion 51 is, as said above, made up of a solid plate obtained by injection of plastic material, to which are fixed, in particular fastening means 511 and traction means 515. These means can be fixed by sewing to the solid plate.
  • the traction means 515 consist of a strip fixed to the solid plate in an area of the latter which is not covered by the upper panel 5221 of the front face 522 when the portion rigid 51 of the tongue is in place, inside the flexible portion 52.
  • the rigid plate is made by plastic injection, it is possible to give it a very specific shape and in particular to provide stiffening ribs 514 as well as a raised plate 513.
  • the upper panel 5221 and the lower panel 5222 of the front face of the flexible portion are not only soft, but also slightly stretchy.
  • the rigid portion 51 can be modified by deformation, by removal of material or by cutting.
  • One or more cuts can be made in the rigid portion 51 at places of discomfort. For example, it can be relatively easy to cut out the area of the raised platform 513. Indeed, this is located exactly at the top of the instep, an area particularly prone to feelings of discomfort. You can also add 516 shock-absorbing pads to improve comfort.
  • FIG. 7 shows a rear view of an alternative version of the rigid portion of the tongue.
  • Three shock-absorbing pads 516 are glued to the rear face of the rigid portion, that is to say on the face which is directed towards the user's foot. These cushioning pads are removable and can be taken off and replaced in the desired locations to guarantee the best comfort for the user.
