Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ski boot with a shell and a multi-part upper with a shell lower part which, on a side facing away from the sole, has a longitudinal slit extending from the area of a shoe tip into the heel area and with a slot located on the shell lower part from the area of the shoe tip up to the shaft above the longitudinal slot, in particular integrally connected to the lower shell part of the shell cover at least one front flap and a rear flap which form the shaft and are fastened to the shell via swivel axes and with locking devices and with adjusting devices between the individual parts or flaps of the ski shoe.
  • ski boots of this type which can be opened in a large area to make it easier to get in and out of them, can be found in DE-OS 23 41 658, AT-PS 331 672 and DE-OS 34, among others 29 237 known.
  • These known ski boots have in common that a shell cover around one in the area the shaft, which is arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the sole, can be pivoted relative to the sole, so that an area between a tailgate of a shaft and an instep area is exposed for easier insertion and removal.
  • the shell cover can be swiveled forward so that the entire footbed is accessible from above.
  • the movement sequence with the ski shoe closed is unsatisfactory, particularly with regard to the pivoting of the shaft relative to the shell, and occurs especially with those ski shoes which the upper shell part can be pivoted up over the entire length, sealing problems in the transition area between the lower shell part and the pivotable shell cover.
  • ski boots for example from DE-AS 21 28769, CH-PS 642520 and from DE-OS 3429891.
  • the tailgate of the upper is designed in such a way that it can be pivoted forwards by a larger angle than the front flap. This pivoting makes it easier to get in through the larger free space in the heel area.
  • a corresponding arrangement of the pivot points is required, as a result of which the movement of the shaft during skiing cannot usually be optimally adapted to the movements of the lower leg relative to the foot.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a ski boot of the type mentioned, which allows easy slipping in and out, and in the closed state allows a good fixation of the foot in the shoe even at different angular positions between the foot and the lower leg.
  • it should be possible to adapt the shoe well to the transition area between instep and shin base. If necessary, it should also be possible to move the reference movements between the Steam the shell and the shaft. Furthermore, it should preferably also be possible to switch off this damping device when the shaft is closed.
  • the shell cover extends into the area of an end of the front flap of the shaft facing away from the sole and engages around a support surface connected to the shaft in the instep area and in that an instep cover of the shell cover relative to a forefoot cover the same can be pivoted about an axis running transversely to a longitudinal direction of the sole and approximately parallel to the sole.
  • this embodiment of the ski boot also ensures that when the upper or the ski boot is opened, the front flap can be pivoted forward independently of the instep cover and the movement of the back cover in the direction of the upper is released by pivoting the support surface away. This makes it possible for the instep cover to be pushed upwards by the foot when it slips out of the shoe, and as a result the foot can be moved as freely as possible between the instep and heel while pivoting the tailgate.
  • a so-called "central entry” is achieved by pivoting the front and rear flaps in opposite directions and the possibility of deflecting the instep also in the direction of the front flap.
  • an adjustment device for heel adjustment and the instep cover can be brought into a desired position adapted to the anatomical shape of the foot when the shaft is closed, and the instep cover due to the support surface. It is surprising here that by such a solution the pivot axis for the shaft approximately can be arranged in the ankle area or in the area of the ankle axis, as a result of which the swivel area of the shaft can simply follow the natural movements of the lower leg relative to the foot.
  • instep cover to the different operating conditions, such as open front flap or closed front flap, is facilitated by the axis around which the instep cover is pivotably mounted and, above all, a targeted movement path is impressed on this part, which guides the foot between the heel without play and instinct favors.
  • the shell part and the shell cover prefferably form separate components, as a result of which the design of the pivot axis can be more easily adapted to the respective load and the desired movement sequence.
  • a weakening line is arranged between the forefoot cover and the instep cover, which is preferably formed by a cross-sectional weakening, which can save additional mechanical effort for the manufacture of the axle.
  • the cross-sectional weakening is formed by a groove-shaped recess in the forefoot cover which runs transversely to the longitudinal direction of the sole, the groove bottom of which has a shorter length than a width of the forefoot cover, since the elasticity inherent in this, when using suitable materials, is simultaneous can be used for pivoting the parts to one another.
  • a pivot arrangement is arranged between the forefoot cover and the instep cover, which one Axis forming pivot axis, whereby the resistance to forward pivoting of the front flap can be kept approximately the same over the entire pivoting range.
  • the forefoot cover and the instep cover are pivotably mounted independently of one another on the pivot axis of the pivot arrangement, whereby it is possible to arrange the bearing point of the pivot axis of the pivot arrangement directly in the individual covers.
  • the swivel arrangement is arranged between the instep cover and the lower shell part, as a result of which good anchoring can be achieved without stressing the forefoot cover.
  • the weakening line or the axis is fixed in an optionally pre-adjustable position in the longitudinal direction of the sole relative to the lower shell part with the closure device closed, since this allows the movement of the instep cover in the region of the pivot axis or weakening line to follow exactly a predefined movement path and this can nevertheless absorb loads occurring in the longitudinal direction of the ski shoe.
  • the line of weakness or the axis can be arranged directly adjacent to one another in the direction of the shoe tip and, in particular, by a buckle arrangement, to be fixed relative to the lower shell part by the closure device, as a result of which a good seal between the forefoot cover and the Lower part of the shell, and at the same time a fixation of the line of weakness or the pivot axis in the longitudinal direction can take place.
  • This additional support means that the instep cover does not have to transmit all the forces acting on it in the longitudinal direction of the sole and may therefore be of weaker construction.
  • the pivot axis forming the axis is mounted in the lower shell part, where is possible by good anchoring of the swivel axis and a relative movement of the instep cover relative to the lower shell part can ensue.
  • the closure device e.g. the buckle arrangement is arranged in the groove-shaped depression and the line of weakness is formed by the transition between the groove bottom and a groove flank facing the instep cover.
  • the desired movement geometry can be achieved with simple means by using an edge of the molded part immediately adjacent to the closure device as a weakening line.
  • the shell cover it is also possible for the shell cover to be connected to the lower shell part in the region of the toe of the shoe by means of a holding device, as a result of which the assembly of the shell cover is facilitated.
  • the holding device is fixedly arranged in the sole longitudinal direction on the lower shell part, since such an embodiment allows the instep cover to be supported over the shell lid in the longitudinal direction of the sole.
  • the shell cover can be pivoted in the area of the holding device about an axis running approximately parallel to the axis, whereby the removal of the inner shoe and additionally the slipping in and out of the shoe can be facilitated.
  • the instep cover is preferably guided between the axis and the heel area in a slide track which is arranged in the lower shell part, since the additional guidance of the instep cover in the slide track reduces the load on the weakening line and the desired movement sequence of the instep cover can be maintained even under heavy loads.
  • the backdrop track can be Longitudinal slots arranged richly from two side walls of the lower shell part are inclined, which are inclined towards the sole by a small angle of between 5 ° and 30 °, preferably 15 °, in the direction of the shoe tip.
  • the end of the instep cover facing away from the line of weakness or axis can be moved in a direction corresponding to the desired sequence of movements when loaded by the instep or the shin attachment and, especially under load, cannot deflect laterally or in the undesired direction.
  • slide tracks it is also possible for the slide tracks to be designed in the form of a circular arc and the center of which forms the axis, whereby tension in the instep cover and thus excessive stresses in the axis can be avoided.
  • the backdrop track is designed in the form of a circular arc and that its center is in the area of the holding device of the shell cover, so that the shell cover is not additionally stressed, particularly when it slides in and out of the ski boot.
  • an embodiment variant according to which the slide track has two circular-arc-shaped sections with different radii is also advantageous, since this allows the instep cover to move with the ski shoe closed with respect to the line of weakness or axis while opening the shaft or the ski shoe for slipping out or in, the further movement of the instep plate can take place with reference to the further articulation point, for example the shell cover.
  • a width of the slide track is also possible for a width of the slide track to be greater than a diameter or a width of guide elements guided therein, since this compensates for the movement in the case of different pivot radii of the instep plate by the difference in dimensions between the Guide organs and Ku ⁇ lissenbahnen can take place.
  • the front and rear flaps are mounted on the two side walls of the lower shell part, preferably for both common pivot axes, so that a movement of the shaft part corresponding to the movement of the lower leg with respect to the foot is carried Advantage is achievable.
  • the front flap is approximately semi-cylindrical in shape and has a U-shaped cutout extending centrally from the lower front end towards the upper front end, since this results in a correspondingly high degree of mobility of the front flap relative to the front flap Shell or the shell lid is possible.
  • a U-shaped cutout in particular a tapering slot extending in the direction of the upper end, is arranged and ends at a distance below the upper end.
