Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Use The present invention relates to a counter (an upper plate) that is disposed on the upper surface of an inner boot of a ski shoe and that is pulled by a wire to secure the ankle.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY Ski boots that have become popular in recent years consist of an outer shoe made of rubber, plastic, etc., and an inner boot that is inserted inside the outer shoe. Therefore, in addition to the buckle provided on the outer shoe, a counter molded from plastic or the like is provided on the upper surface of the upper part of the inner boot, and the counter is pulled with a wire or the like to secure the inner boot and the foot.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the counter has poor flexibility because it is molded from semi-hard rubber or plastic to prevent the wire abutting part from collapsing due to the pulling of the wire. As a result, it does not adapt smoothly to the shape of the instep, causing localized pain in the foot, or when leaning forward as required when skiing.
There was a drawback that the upper edge of the counter touched the front of the instep, causing pain in the foot and interfering with skiing.

Means to Solve the Problems Therefore, in order to improve the drawbacks of the counter, a counter made of any material is provided with a plurality of horizontally elongated through holes at intervals in the center of its front face, facing perpendicularly to the length direction. , a plurality of vertically elongated cutouts are provided on the upper edge, and the left and right side edges of the counter are formed into wavy uneven parts, and the counter is fixed to the upper surface of the upper part of the inner boot or is brought into contact with it and pulled with a wire, etc. This fixes the foot and the inner boot.

Effect When the counter of the present invention is pulled with a wire or the like, the multiple through holes provided in the center front of the counter and the cutout on the upper edge are deformed to expand and narrow, and the wavy uneven portions on the left and right side edges are bent. This makes it easier to adapt to the shape of the instep, allowing it to bend smoothly and reducing foot pain. In addition, when leaning forward when skiing, the multiple through holes provided in the front center of the counter make it easier to lean forward as the ankle leans forward.
The cutout part on the upper edge and the wavy uneven parts on the left and right side edges reduce tensile strength and adapt to the movement of the foot,
It can easily accommodate forward leaning postures of the ankles.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

An inner boot 3 is inserted into an outer shoe 1 made of rubber, plastic, etc. to form a ski boot A. A counter 2 made of rubber, plastic, etc. is provided on the upper surface of the upper part of the inner boot 3. The counter 2 has a plurality of horizontally elongated through holes 5 at intervals of 9 in the center of the front face perpendicular to the length direction, and a plurality of vertical cutouts 6 in the upper edge B. C is molded with a counter 2 characterized by a wavy uneven part 7, which is fixed to or comes into contact with the upper surface of the upper part of the inner boot to fix the inner boot and the foot with a traction wire 4.

Incidentally, the main part of the counter 2 may be fixed to the outer shoe 1.

Effects of the invention Since the invention has the above-described structure, when wearing ski boots A, loosen the buckle of the outer shoe 1 and the traction wire 4 provided on the counter 2, insert your foot into the inner boot 3, and then put your foot on the counter. After fixing the inner boot and the foot by pulling the wire 4 provided on the outer shoe 2, the buckle of the outer shoe 1 is tightened and the shoe is worn.

Inner boots 3 and counter 2 with fixed feet
presses the instep from the upper surface of the inner boot, but the horizontally long through hole 5 and the vertically long cutout 6 formed in the counter 2 expand and narrow as the foot moves, and furthermore, the left and right side edges The wavy uneven part 7 of the foot part promotes bending and smoothly corresponds to the shape of the instep, so that the foot is less likely to be hurt by the pressure of the counter.

Furthermore, since the ankle is tilted forward when skiing, the upper edge of the counter 2 is pushed toward the tip of the foot. It becomes easier to lean forward,
The edges 8 of the horizontally elongated through hole 5 in the center of the front are slightly closer to each other and correspond to the instep, and the wavy uneven portions 7 on the left and right edges C reduce the tensile strength, so the counter 2 prevents the ankle from tilting forward. It easily corresponds to the movement of the feet and legs, making forward leaning posture easier.

Note that the effectiveness of the counter 2 can be adjusted by appropriately changing the shape, number, etc. of the horizontally elongated through hole 5, the vertically elongated cutout part 6, and the wavy uneven part 7.
