Definitions

  • This invention relates to the ski boots, and more particularly to a device to be embodied in a ski boot, which assures a perfect adherence of the feet of the ski runner to the ski boots.
  • the means providing for the said transmission are the bindings between ski boots and skis, and the ski boots, which are controlled by the feet.
  • ski bindings have been improved in the past years to such an extent that it may be said that they are actually in condition to provide for a perfect transmission of the efforts from the boots to the skis.
  • the modern ski boots are made of rather hard and not very elastic material, and are provided with metallic closure hooks for lacing the boots to the feet.
  • the said hooks may be singularly adjusted so as to provide for the best fastening of the boot around the foot.
  • the means for adjusting the insole are in the form of one or more screws, which are screwed through the bottom surface of the outsole, up to abutment with the insole, so that by screwing more or less the said screws, the desired adjustment of the insole is achieved.
  • a ski boot comprising a boot upper, an outsole secured'to said upper, and a rigid insole hingedly connected near its toe end to the said outsole, a device built-in in the said outsole in the heel region thereof, and cooperating with the said insole for lifting and lowering same means being provided operable from the external peripheral side of the outsole of said boot for controlling said device so as to adjust said insole with respect to the outsole, with the boot resting on the soil.
  • the said device comprises a housing, a cam rotatably supported in said housing, a lever arm fulcrumed at one end to said housing, bearing with its other end against the bottom surface of the said rigid insole, and bearing with its intermediate portion against said cam, and manually operable control means extending sidewise from said housing to the exterior of the boot and operatively connected to the said cam, for rotating said cam.
  • means are provided for adjusting the lateral projection of said control means, in order to adapt the said device to boots of different sizes.
  • the ski boot shown comprises an upper, generally denoted by reference numeral 1 to which the outsole 2 is secured.
  • the outsole 2 comprises an inner core 3, of plastic material, or of wood, which is embedded into an outer matrix 4 of plastic material, which in turn is integrally bonded to the boot upper 1.
  • the core 3 is suitably profiled at its periphery in order to be firmly clamped inside of the embeddying :plastic matrix 4 of the outsole.
  • an insole S is mounted inside of the boot.
  • the insole 5 is fonned into two parts, and 205,
  • the said parts 105, 205 of the insole are made of a rigid material, which is strong enough to sustain the weight of the users body, and for instance are made of a sheet of aluminum.
  • a covering 305 of a suitable soft material is provided on the upper face of the insole 5 .
  • the core 3 is provided with a recess extending from the upper surface downwardly into the core 3, in which the insole adjusting device according to the invention is assembled.
  • the said adjusting device comprises:
  • a box-like frame 8 having two side walls 108, 208, a bottom wall 9 and two front walls 10. Between the side walls 108, 208 a pivot pin 12 is journaled. On pin 12 the cam 11 is keyed. On the end of the pivot pin 12 which extends through wall 208, a sleeve 13 is keyed. The sleeve 13 extends through a coaxial sleeve 14, which is secured to the wall 108 of the box 8 of the device. On sleeve 14 a tubular member 15 is slidably mounted.
  • the said tubular member 15 comprises a body portion- 16 of cylindrical shape, with two flared diametrically opposed sides 116.
  • the distance between inner sur faces of the flared sides 116 of body 16 is slightly greater than the outer diameter of sleeve 14.
  • the said member 15 is further provided at its end facing the wall 208 with an annular flange 17 of a diameter equal to the diameter of the cylindrical portion of body 16, and at its other end it is provided with a cylindrical portion 18 having a diameter equal to the diameter of flange 17.
  • the flange 17 is provided in the region of the flared portions 116 of body 16 with two diametrically opposed through borings 117, through which the screws 19 are guided.
  • the said screws 19 are screwed into screw threaded borings formed in the wall 208 of the box 8.
  • the said pins 20 project sidewise from wall 208 inside of member 15 through a boring 21 formed in flange 17 and through the bored bottom of a cylindrical box 22 into alignment with the boring 21.
  • a spring 23 is disposed between the bottom of box 22 and the wall 208, coaxially to pins 20.
  • the cylindrical control head 24 is housed.
  • the said head 24 is rotatably but not axially slidably supported.
  • the head 24 is provided at its periphery with an annular groove 25.
  • two parallel borings are formed, tangent to groove 25, and through said borings the two shanks of a U shaped cotter pin 26 are inserted.
  • the head 24 is provided on its side directed toward the exterior of the device with a coin slot 27.
  • a shank 28 is coaxially secured.
  • the shank 28 is provided with an outwardly projecting, longitudinally extending key 29, which meshes with a corresponding key groove 30 formed into coaxial sleeve 13.
  • a pin 31 is journalled, to which the lever arm 32 is fulcrumed by one end.
  • the other end of the lever arm 32 is T shaped, and the transversal shank 33 of the said T shaped end is into sliding abutment with the lower side of the insole member 105, at the heel region of the boot.
  • the box like frame 8 is secured to the outsole by means of screws 34.
  • the device is at first encased in the recess formed in the heel region of the core 3, and is secured to the core 3 by means of the fastening screws 34.
  • the screws 19 are screwed (or un- 15 screwed) by the desired amount.
  • the member 15 is telescoped on sleeve 14, against the action of springs 20.
  • the outsole 2 is formed in conventional manner, by embeddying the core 3 into the outer matrix 4 of a suitable plastic material.
  • FIG. 5 a second embodiment of the invention is shown.
  • the sleeve 14 is formed with an external screw-thread
  • the cylindrical body 16 of member 15 is formed with an inner screw-thread
  • 35 is a clamping screw, which is screwed into a radial through bore of body 16.
  • the body 16 is screwed on sleeve 14, until the desired adjustment is reached. Thereafter, by screwing the screw 35, the parts are clamped into the desired mutual position.
  • a ski boot comprising a boot upper, an outsole secured to said upper, a rigid insole hingedly connected near its toe end to said outsole, a lifting device built-in in the said outsole in the heel region thereof, the said lifting device comprising a rotatable cam cooperating with the said insole for lifting and lowering it, and manually operable rotary transmission means operatively connected at one end to said cam, and extending at the other end out to the outer peripheral side of the said outsole such that said other end is readily accessible when the boot outsole is bearing against a surface.
  • a ski boot according to claim 1 in which the said cam is in contact with the intermediate portion of a lever arm, one end of which arm is fulcrumed to a fixed part of the said device, whilst the other end is in sliding abutment with the said insole.
