Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ski boot, preferably of synthetic material, the upper of which comprises two parts which are pivotable relative to each other about a common axis. Boots, so-called hinge boots, comprising two interlinked uppers are known in various forms.
  • the ski boot according to the present invention is characterized primarily in that for absorbing a pressure or shock movement of the upper portion surrounding the joint of the skier there are in forward and rearward direction provided cushioning elements which are located on one of the two upper portions, which are pivotable relative to each other, and are by a joint connected to the other part of the boot.
  • shocks are in a considerably reduced manner conveyed to the ski, which latter will not lose in its direction in which it is moved and which will assure a safe skiing in view of the elastic pressure conveyed by the skier in a continuous manner from the foot along the longitudinal extension of the ski.
  • each respective spring is pivotable on an upper por tion about an axis bolt and is guided on the other upper portion in the longitudinal direction of the spring and more specifically in holding means.
  • the holding means may consist in a sleeve which, for instance, is firmly connected to the boot upper portion, while in said sleeve a telescopic spring is displacably arranged on a pushrod.
  • the pushrod pivotally mounted on an axle bolt on the other hinge portion has in the sleeve a play in pushing direction.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the invention provide a spring each on both sides of the upper portion surrounding the foot and in the direction toward the tip of the boot.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment for realizing the objects according to the invention consists in that the axis for pivoting the two upper portions relative to each other is arranged in a plane which is inclined to the plane of the sole by approximately 60 and which extends through the overlapping range of the two upper portions which surround the joint or ankle and the front portion of the foot respectively.
  • the pivot axis for pivoting the two upper portions relative to each other is located near the bottom edge of the first mentioned upper portion.
  • the ski boot diagrammatically illustrated therein comprises the two upper portions or uppers 6 and 7 which are pivotally interconnected by a pin 4 about which they are pivotable.
  • the overlapping range 5 of said two uppers is defined by the dot-dash lines 5.
  • the pivot pin 4 is located rather low and close to the boot sole 9.
  • sleeves 1 are provided on both sides of the lower upper portion 7 and firmly connected thereto. Longitudinally slidably guided in said sleeves 1 is a pushrod 2 which is pivotable about a bolt 8 extending through the upper portion 6.
  • a pushrod 2 which is pivotable about a bolt 8 extending through the upper portion 6.
  • a helical spring 3 which rests against the bottom of said widened portion.
  • the other side of said pushrod 2 which has the same diameter as the widened portion presses against spring 3 when the upper portion 6 bends forwardly so that the pushrod 2 will be pivoted about the pin 4 and will be displaced within the play of the hollow chamber of the sleeve.
  • the sleeve arrangements may, if desired, be reversed so that the bolt 8 and the sleeve 1 are arranged at the respective other uppers as indicated in dash lines for the spring section at the rear end of the boot.
  • a ski boot which includes: a sole, a first upper section connected to said sole and comprising the tip portion of the boot and at least a part of the heel portion thereof, and a second upper section overlapping said first upper section and being adapted to receive the ankle portion of a foot, pivot means pivotally connecting said first and second upper sections to permit said second section to pivot relative to said first upper section in a direction toward and away from said tip portion, and cushioning means interconnecting said first and second upper sections for cushioning push and shock movements of said second upper sections in a direction toward and away from said tip portion, said cushioning means including a sleeve defining a spring receiving chamber and having one end portion connected to one of said upper sections, a helical spring elastically arranged in said chamber, and push rod means slidably arranged in said sleeve and engaging one end portion of said spring and having its free end linked to the other upper section, said push rod including a wider section engaging one end of said spring and also including a section having a shorter diameter than said Wider section and
  • said cushioning means include spring means and holding means yieldably and pivotally interconnecting said first and second upper sections to each other.
  • a ski boot which includes: a sole, a first upper section connected to said sole and comprising the tip portion of the boot and at least a part of the heel portion thereof, and a second upper section overlapping said first upper section and being adapted to receive the ankle portion of a foot, pivot means pivotally connecting said first and second upper sections to permit said second upper section to pivot relative to said first upper section in a direction toward and away from said tip portion, and cushioning means interconnecting said first and second upper sections for cushioning push and shock movements of said second upper sections in a direction toward and away from said tip portion, said cushioning means including spring means and holding means yieldably and pivotally interconnecting said first and second upper sections to each other and spring means on each side of the boot, said spring means extending in a direction toward the tip of the boot.
  • said cushioning means include a sleeve defining a spring receiving chamber and having one end portion connected to one of said upper sections, a helical spring elastically arranged in said chamber, and push rod means slidably arranged in said sleeve and engaging one end portion of said spring and having its free end linked to the other upper section.
  • a ski boot according to claim 3 in which said cushioning means are respectively arranged on opposite sides of said boot, and in which each of said cushioning means has one end portion connected to one of said upper sections adjacent said heel portion and has its other end portion connected to the other upper section in the region of said heel portion, at least one of said connections being a pivot connection.
  • each of said cushioning means includes a cylinder with a pressure spring therein.
  • a ski boot according to claim 3 in which the axis of said pivot means is located approximately in the plane defined by said pivot means and the overlapping area of said two upper sections in the vicinity of the instep of the boot, said plane forming with said sole an angle of approximately 8.
