Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Ski boot permitting the introduction and the locking [30] Foreign Application Priority Data therein of a foot already wearing a preferably water- Sept. 1, 1972 Italy 22976/72 tight and thermally insulated shoe-
  • the Ski boot stantially comprises a rigid shell defining a seat for the 52 11s. c1. 36/2.5 AL receiving Shoe, and a rigid Cover means hingedly 51 1111. c1 A4311 00/00 nected with the Shell-
  • the rigid Cover means is lock- [58] Field of Search 36/25 R, 25 AL, 50 able, in closed position on the shell for firmly retaining therein the shoe in which is inserted the foot of the 5 References Cited user.
  • the shell carries a seal strip which the cover means abuts in its closed position.
  • ski boots are already known; made of leather or plastics.
  • the known ski boots have the disadvantage of having poor strength and particularly exhibit the disadvantage that therein only feet with socks can be introduced, this being remarkably uncomfortable when the ski boot must be put on or taken off outdoors, such as in snow covered terrain.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a ski boot having very high strength and rigidity and which can be put on by a person who has his feet already inserted in shoes or similar coverings, which can be waterproof and thermally insulated.
  • Another object is to provide a ski boot of the mentioned type, which assures an efficient protection against possible ankle bone breakages of the ski boot user, and which inhibits any water seepage into the interior of the ski boot.
  • a ski boot comprising a shaped shell defining a seat for receiving a shoe, said shell having an aperture for introducing said shoe in said seat, the ski boot further comprising a cover means hingedly connected to said shell and locking means for locking said cover means in superimposed relationship on said aperture, said cover means and said shell being made of substantially rigid and tough material.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the ski boot in closed position
  • FIG. 2 is a lateral view of the ski boot shown with its cover means in raised position for permitting the introduction of a foot wearing a shoe, and
  • FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the ski boot of FIG. I, wherein a shoe inserted in the ski boot is shown in dotted lines.
  • the ski boot comprises a shaped shell 1 which forms the sole, the sides and the rear section of the ski boot.
  • the shell 1 defines a seat in which a shoe or ankle boot, such as shown at 13 in perspective in FIG. 1 and in dotted lines in FIG. 3 can be placed.
  • the free edges of the sides of shell 1 define an aperture through which the shoe 13 can be easily introduced in the seat defined by the shell, as is easily deducible from FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • a strip or layer 2 of anti-slip material e.g., rubber
  • a strip of felt or other similar material is preferably fixed, as clearly shown in FIG. 3.
  • a sheath 8 made of flexible material (such as leather or plastics) is fixed to the shell 1 by rivets 12 or similar attachment.
  • Straps 9 bearing metal rings 15 project from sheath 8.
  • Locking rack-like levers 10, well known in the art, are connected to said sheath, as clearly shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • a hinge 3 is secured to the shell I, said hinge rotatably connecting a cover means 4 with the shell.
  • a flexible prolonging sheath member 5 is secured which is made of leather or plastics.
  • a strip of soft material such as felt, foam rubber or plastics, is bounded on the inner surface of the shell and the sheath member 5, as clearly shown in FIG. 3.
  • the cover means 4 is so contoured that when lowered on the shell 1 it completely closes (FIG. I) the aperture through which the shoewe:aring foot can be introduced in the seat defined by the shell 1.
  • the cover means can be fimily locked by a locking strip 6, which has one end connected (e.g., through a hinge, not shown) to the shell, while the other end carries a metal ring 14 which, can be locked and tensioned by a known rack-like lever 7 hingedly connected with the shell.
  • both the shell I and the cover means 4 are made of a substantially rigid resistant material, such as metal or metal alloys or heat-hardening glass-fiber reinforced plastics or resins.
  • the shell 1 and the cover 4 are aluminum alloy die castings.
  • a section of the hinge 3 can be directly built-in within the shell and another section can be directly built-in within the cover means 4 at the time of diecasting, by which method the shell and cover means are formed.
  • ski boots can be left directly on the skis without any need of disengaging the same.
