Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide rigidity and flexibility and reduce the manufacturing cost by providing a double wall for forming a cavity in a ski boot. CONSTITUTION: A lower shell has a cavity 1 extended from the heel to the toe on the bottom part, and the cavity 1 is enclosed by two walls having an uniform thickness, or an outer wall 2 and an inner wall 3. The outer wall 2 constitutes the bottom of the ski boot, and the inner wall 3 is inclined so that the front part of the ski boot is lowered in order to impart a necessary inclination for skiing and help this. The part for housing the toe of a foot has a small cavity 4, the inside and outside of the cavity 4 are surrounded by two relatively thin walls, or an inner wall 5 and an outer wall 6. In the rear of a rear shaft 10 is provided a cavity 11 surrounded by a flat or cylindrical outer wall 12 and an inner wall 13 having an unevenness for holding the heel in a housing part and a shape fitted to the form of the calf. The double wall is formed of a plastic member having an uniform thickness.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application> The present invention comprises a lower shell surrounding the foot and heel and forming a bottom, and a shaft made of two or more members joined onto the lower shell. The present invention relates to the structure of ski boots made of plastic material by molding.

That is, the boots are sufficiently thick without making the boot excessively heavy or taking into account the extreme deformation of the thickness due to shrinkage of the thermoplastic material that occurs during cooling. It has not been possible to manufacture shells or to manufacture shells in which the individual parts of the shell have a variety of thicknesses so as to provide the required stiffness and flexibility functions for each part of the shell. . This forces designers and manufacturers to design shells that are uniform in thickness and relatively thin, resulting in ski boots that are less stiff when bent or twisted. For example, in order to provide greater rigidity to the sole of a shoe, there are ways to make the sole excessively thick or to use a harder material, but in the former case, this increases weight and cost; In the latter case, this resulted in increased costs (as well as reduced enjoyment for skiers).

Moreover, the shell of a ski boot needs to have different shapes on its outer and inner surfaces; for example, the inner surface of the bottom of the lower shell is sloped forward in relation to its outer surface. To achieve this slope, it is necessary to use an auxiliary sole support member. Similarly, for the rear part of the shaft, the outer surface should preferably be flat to secure the tensioning lever, while the inner surface should be shaped to match the shape of the foot.

Therefore, it has already been proposed (US Pat. No. 3,848,347) to produce ski boot shells whose bottom part is divided into an outer part and an inner part, but such shells are assembled by screwing. This method of manufacture was expensive and required special processing to ensure the impermeability of the shell. In other prior art, padding was used on the inside of the boot to make the outside and inside surfaces different in shape (U.S. Pat. No. 472
No. 0926).

Problem to be Solved by the Invention The present invention therefore aims to provide a ski boot which overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art mentioned above. More specifically, it does not undergo deformation during cooling or increase in weight, has a relatively thin inner wall with an almost uniform thickness and an inner shape different from the outer shape, and is further subjected to external bending or twisting forces. To provide a ski boot that can satisfy both the rigidity required in one part and the flexibility required in other parts.

This gas enters the mold from the center of the injection nozzle, at a pressure lower than that of the thermoplastic material, through a channel 8, a portion of which is formed in the injection cone 9 shown in FIG. Injected. This injection peak 9 is of course subsequently removed as usual. The channel 8 is closed under vacuum in order to empty the cavity l, or it is closed in contact with the surrounding air in order to fill the cavity l with air. The cavity 1 may also be filled with expanded insulating material or with a special liquid to improve the insulation of the bottom of the ski boot.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show the rear shaft 10 of a two-piece shaft to be hingedly connected at a hinge joint 16 to the lower shell. At the rear of the rear shaft 10, there is provided a cavity 11 surrounded by a flat or cylindrical outer wall 12 and an inner wall 13 having an undulation for holding the heel in the storage part and a shape adapted to the shape of the calf. ing. The lower part 13a of the inner wall 13 is rounded to match the outer peripheral shape of the lower shell. As in the case of the lower shell, the gas enters the injection peak 1
It is injected via a channel 14 formed in 5. Outer wall 12
Although the inner walls 13 and 13 are relatively thin and of uniform thickness, the cavity 11 constitutes a strong structure against bending and twisting.
