Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A ski boot having a rear closure, said boot being adapted to use either a normal height rear tongue member or a high-rise tongue member.
  • the rear tongue member is held in the closed position by a securing clamp means made up of a cable and a buckle, which permits the boot to be easily opened.
  • the rear tongue member In the closed position, the rear tongue member preferably causes a forward lean of the skiers leg, but by unbuckling the cable, the skiers leg is permitted to flex upright.
  • the position of the tongue member closure can be varied widely by using cables of various lengths in the securing means.
  • the present invention relates to footwear in general, and more particularly to what is known as a rear entry ski boot which securely holds the foot of the skier against the ski and supports the skiers ankle and calf against lateral movement and rearward lean, respectively, in order to provide maximum ski edge control.
  • the present invention also provides a rear entry ski boot which has interchangable rear tongues, whereby a skier can change the height of the tongue from a conventional height to a high-rise form of tongue. Further the ski boot of the present invention provides for a built-in forward lean which can be released by the skier by unbuckling the rear opening tongue.
  • the ability of a snow skier to control his skis is directly related to the effectiveness with which his feet, ankles, and lower legs are connected to the skis proper.
  • the skiers feet should be secured to the skis in such a manner that the skis act, in effect, as extensions of the skiers feet. It is important that the skis not be able to move laterally with respect to the lower leg of the skier. While it is necessary for the skier to be able to shift his weight forwardly and rearwardly on the ski during turning, it is not necessary for the skier to be able to flex his ankle in this direction. It has been found, that a certain amount of forward lean is desirable.
  • skiers lower leg be tilted forward from a line drawn perpendicular to the ski or to the sole of the boot and a forward lean of 20 or 30 has been found to be desirable under some circumstances.
  • a forward lean of 20 or 30 has been found to be desirable under some circumstances.
  • the present invention provides a new approach to ski boots, and particularly high back or high-rise ski boots, and particularly to high-rise boots wherein the boot has a certain amount of built-in forward lean.
  • the present invention provides a ski boot which may be converted from a normal back boot to a high-rise boot, either by the retailer prior to sale, or by the skier after purchase of the boot.
  • the ski boot of the present invention provides an easy opening securing means which permits the skier, while standing in a lift line, or on a chair lift to release the forward lean, thus permitting him to relax his leg muscles. Additionally, this arrangement permits the skier to insert or remove his foot from the boot quickly and easily, and secure the boot into the skiing position by the operation of only one or two buckles.
  • the advantages of the present invention are accomplished by constructing a rear entry boot having a rear closure which affords entry of a skiers foot into the boot from the rear.
  • the boot has a closed-front vamp, wherein the opening in the rear of the vamp is closed with a rear tongue member.
  • the tongue member provides a substantial angle of forward lean built in thereto, which forward lean can be reduced or eliminated by changing the settings of the tonguesecuring means or by opening the tongue-securing means. In this manner, the skier can release the forward Ieanfor convenience simply by unbuckling the back of the boot. Further advantage is obtained in that the skier can readily change from a high back to a conventional back height by simply interchanging the tongue.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a right boot, taken in partial section near the heel, illustrating the boot in the closed position and the attachment of the highrise tongue member to the floor of the vamp;
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of a tongue member
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view'of a right boot taken from the oblique rear illustrating a high-rise tongue member in the boot, in the closed position;
  • FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of a high-rise tongue
  • FIG. 5 is a front elevational view of the high-rise tongue illustrated in FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 6 shows the cable engaging clamp in the cable release position
  • FIG. 7 shows the cable engaging clamp in the cable engaging position, with the cable in place
  • FIG. 8 shows the boot of FIG. 1 in the open position
  • FIG. 9 shows a fragmentary top view of the ski boot of the present invention in a closed position.
  • the rear entry ski boot ofthe present invention is shown generally at 10.
  • the boot 10 includes stiff sole 12 having front portion 14 and rear portion 16 adapted to engage ski bindings.
  • Vamp 20, which preferably is a closed-front vamp, is attached to and integral with sole 12.
  • the front portion of vamp 20 is closed while the back is open, the back or rear opening 22 is more clearly shown in FIG. 3.
  • the rear opening 22 is generally defined by the rear edges 21 of vamp 20 and the floor of the vamp 26.
  • vamp 20 is made from semi-rigid or rigid plastic material which provides firm lateral support for the skiers ankles and lower leg.
  • inner liner 24 which preferably provides both fitting and padding functions for the skiers foot.
  • Inner liner 24 may be a foam cavity filled with a thermoplastic material, such as is described in applicants copending application entitled Ski Boot and Liner Therefor, Ser. No. 216,080, filed Jan. 7, 1972.
  • liner 24 may comprise foam rubber, either foamed in place or factory installed, or it may comprise a flowable material in an envelope, such as is described in US. Pat. Nos. 3,237,319; 3,402,411; or 3,582,503.
  • inner liner 24 extends all the way to the floor of the vamp 26 and covers substantially all of the foot with the exception of the rear opening 22.
  • Rear opening 22 is adapted to receive tongue member 30.
  • the tongue member adapted to be fitted into rear opening 22 can be of the type shown in FIG. 2 or the high-rise type shown in FIG. 4.
  • the tongue members of FIGS. 2 and 4 are of similar configuration and generally possess corresponding portions, and differ mainly in the height of the upper portion 34 and 34 with respect to the height of the boot.
  • Tongue member 30 comprises a semi-rigid outer member 31 which extends from top portion 34 to the lowermost extension 32.
  • tongue padding member 36 mounted within said semi-rigid member 31 is tongue padding member 36, which may be a foam material or any of the materials from which the inner liner 24 are constructed.
  • padding member 36 runs the substantiallength of tongue 30, except for the lowermost extension 32.
  • the padding should be sufficient in length to cover the entire back of the skiers foot, from the floor of the vamp 26 to the top of the tongue 34.
  • the tongue 30 is reinforced by vertical rib 38 in order to provide stiffness to the tongue and support for the back of the skiers leg.
  • vertical rib 38 is provided with two pairs of cable-engaging grooves 40, on its rearmost projection. Thecable from the securing means is engaged and stabilized by the grooves 40.
  • Lowermost extension 32 of tongue 30 is adapted to engage'vamp 20 at the rear opening 22, and to be mounted contiguous to the floor 26 of vamp 20 near the lowermost portion of rear opening 22.
  • vamp 20 includes in the vamp floor 26 a slot 27 which runs from the rear of vamp 20 forward and culminates in notch or recess 28.
  • the width of slot 27 is not critical, but a suitable width is shown in FIG. 3.
  • the lowermost extension 32 is provided with a lug 42 which may extend across the width of extension 32.
  • the lowermost extension 32 is adapted to be inserted in slot 27 whereby lug 42 will engage in recess 28 and firmly, but removably, aftx tongue member 30 to the boot.
  • extension 32 When lug 42 is engaged in recess 28 it is desired that the upper portion of extension 32 be contiguous with the floor 26 ofvamp 20.
  • the edges of extension 32 may have a bevelled surface 46, as is shown in FIG. 5, whereby the extension 32 is urged downwardly.
  • the edges of extension 32 may have a laterally projecting flange 48 adapted to engage channels (not shown) in the floor of vamp 26 whereby the extension is held at a suitable elevation.
  • Tongue member 30 is provided with a relatively thin, flexible section 50 between the padding member 36 and the lowermost extension 32. Tongue 30 must be constructed of semi-rigid material, which is somewhat flexible in thin sections. In this manner, the flexible section 50 permits tongue member 30 to be pivoted with respect to lowermost extension 32 and with respect to the vamp 20 and boot through the bending of flexible section .50.
  • the flexible section 50 accomplishes a pivotal mounting and a pivotal opening-closing movement for tongue member 30.
  • the tongue member in the closed position is illustrated by FIGS. 1 and -3. When in the closed position, the tongue preferably fits within the rear portions 21 of vamp 20, thereby filling said rear opening 22.
  • Tongue member 30 is adapted to be secured in the closed position by securing means which preferably includes a clamp 60, an endless cable 62, and a buckle 64. While it is essential to use at least one such securing means, it is preferred to use two, as is illustrated, al-
  • the cable 62 is preferably a steel cable made up of tine wires covered with plastic, but it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that it could be a solid wire, and could be fabricated from various metals, plastic, rubber, natural fibers or the like.
  • clamp is attached to the rear portion of vamp 21 by a single rivet 61 or other similar connecting devices, whereby clamp 60 is pivotable or rotatable about rivet 61.
  • the clamp is provided with at least one cable-engaging groove 63, which groove is adapted to hold cable 62 between the clamp 60 and the rear portion of vamp 20 when the clamp 60 is in the cable engaging position, as shown in FIG. 7.
  • the cable 62 may be removed from groove 63.
  • cables of various length may be used, or in case of damage or wear to the cable, it may be replaced with a new endless or annular cable.
  • both clamp 60 and the buckle 64 are mounted to the boot on a raised portion of the boot or vamp material.
  • a thick section of the vamp may be provided through which rivet 61 can be affixed, thus provide a stronger union between the boot and the securing means.
  • the inside surface to which rivet 61 is joined may be countersunk, in order to provide a smooth inner surface throughout the inside of vamp 20.
  • the ski boots of the present invention may be made from many different materials, although semi-rigid plastics are to be preferred for the formation of the vamp and rigid portion of the rear tongue. Since it is essential that the rear tongue have a certain amount of flexibility at section 50, it is considered important that the materials possess at least some elastomeric properties, whereby they can be flexed without crystallization or cracking.
  • the padding for both the inner liner 24 and the rear tongue padding member 36 may be made out of the same or dissimilar material. As was mentioned above, it is possible to provide both the inner liner and the tongue with padding which is installed at the factory, padding which is custom fitted, or padding which is flowable and will deform to fit the contours of the wearers feet.
  • the vamp and tongue member are designed so that, as shown in FIG. 9, their padding members, that is inner boot 24 and padding member 36, abut each other when the tongue is secured in a closed position. In this manner, a smooth inner surface, with complete padding is provided for the skiers foot.
  • the tongues illustrated in the drawings are adapted to pivot about a point in proximity with the floor of the vamp, at the lowermost portion of the rear opening. While the preferred mode contemplates the pivoting to take place by bending the flexible section 50 of the tongue, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that other forms of a pivot may be used.
  • the present invention contemplates the use of a screw running across the boot at about the point the tongue is to be pivoted. In this way the tongues can be changed simply by removing the screw and reinserting it. The screw then functions as the pivot pin in a hinge.
  • vamp provided with rear flaps which encompass a substantial portion of tongue member when the tongue is in the closed position.
  • the flaps are flexible enough to permit member 30 to be pivoted outwardly beyond the flaps as shown in FIG. 8 where the boot is shown in an open position. In this fashion, as the skier moves through the snow, there is no tendency of snow to pack in the joint between the tongue and flaps 21.
  • the tongue overlap the sides of the vamp.
  • a ski boot having a rear closure which comprises a sole; a closed-front, semi-rigid vamp attached to said sole, said vamp having a rear opening;
  • a semi-rigid tongue member pivotally attached to said vamp near the lower-most portion of said rear opening, said tongue member adapted to fill and close said rear opening;
