Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a sports boot, such as a ski boot or suchlike, conformed to define a plurality of selective closed conditions and at least a condition of controlled extra-opening, in order to optimize the conditions for putting on the sports boot for the wearer.
  • Sports boots with a central opening entrance are known, such as ski boots, whether they are for alpine skiing, downhill, snowboard or other, which comprise a rigid outer casing and ankle section, the latter pivoted on the outer casing in correspondence with the malleolar part of the foot.
  • These known boots comprise a plurality of closing hooks attached to the outer casing and/or to the ankle section, in correspondence with the central opening, so as to allow the selective adjustment of the intensity of the closure of the outer casing and of the ankle section, around the foot and the tibial area of the user's leg.
  • the closing hooks generally comprise a lever-type tensioner attached on one side of the central opening, and a closing rack attached to the other side of the central opening, and in which the lever element can be selectively and adjustably associated so as to determine different degrees of closure of the boot.
  • edges of the outer casing are normally overlapping in the metatarsal area of the foot and therefore cannot be opened wide by manual operations, as happens on the contrary for the tarsal and tibial areas.
  • the opening operation which must of necessity be done with both hands, cannot always be done autonomously, for example by children, and in particular environmental conditions, for example in the presence of ice, it can be particularly difficult.
  • Purpose of the present invention is to make a sports boot which is simple and economical to make, and which allows a controlled and repeatable opening of all the parts of the outer casing and ankle section, without limiting the functionality for a correct and secure closure.
  • the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
  • a sports boot according to the present invention comprises a lower part, or outer casing, able to contain the user's foot, and an upper part, or ankle section, pivoted on the outer casing and able to contain the ankle joint and possibly the tibial area of the user's leg.
  • Both the outer casing and the ankle section comprise a central opening defined laterally by respective edges of the outer casing and the ankle section.
  • the edges can be selectively brought together by means of at least a closing device disposed astride the central opening and attached on opposite sides to the two edges of the outer casing and/or the ankle section, in order to determine at least the closing of the central opening, with a desired degree of closing force.
  • the sports boot comprises at least an opening device with at least a first element attached to a first of the two edges, and a second element attached to the second of the two edges.
  • the first element comprises positioning means of the adjustable type and able to define one or more determinate reciprocal stable positions of the first element and the first edge, in which the first element is maintained in a stable way toward the central opening with respect to a normal resting position.
  • the second element comprises constraint means, in which the first element is able to be temporarily constrained, so that, when it is in one of the above stable positions defined by the positioning means, it determines a condition of controlled extra-opening of the outer casing and/or ankle section.
  • the thrust has an effect on both edges, determining a controlled reciprocal distancing thereof, and defining the condition of controlled extra-opening of the boot.
  • the opening is carried out by means of the opening device, it can be actuated indiscriminately in any area of the outer casing and/or ankle section, without requiring excessive force from the user, and without needing to use both hands.
  • the first element and the second element of the opening device are integrated in the normal elements which make up the closing device of the sports boot, such as for example a lever-type hook and a coordinated adjustment rack.
  • the controlled opening is also carried out in order to remove or insert the foot.
  • the positioning means of the first element comprise a U-shaped clasp and at least a coordinated coupling seating for the clasp.
  • the reciprocal conformation of the at least one seating and of the clasp are such that, in their coupled condition, they maintain the first part in one of said reciprocal positions with the first edge.
  • the clasp and the seating are constrained to and made on the lever-type hook.
  • the positioning means comprise a latch-type element elastically constrained to the first element and a stop tooth mounted on the first edge.
  • the stop tooth is able to cooperate with the latch element so as to define said determinate reciprocal positions of the first element and the first edge.
  • the second element comprises a constraint tooth facing the opposite side with respect to the attachment teeth, and conformed so as to temporarily house inside it at least one leading end of the first element.
  • the stop tooth is made on the head of the rack, normally provided with a plurality of attachment teeth with which the lever-type hook cooperates in order to define the desired degree of closing force.
  • a sports boot according to the present invention is indicated generally by the number 10, in this case a ski boot, of the type substantially comprising a rigid lower part or outer casing 12, inside which a user's foot can be disposed, and an upper part, or ankle section 13, also rigid and able to contain the ankle joint and tibial part of the user's leg.
  • the ankle section 13 is pivoted to the outer casing 12 in correspondence with the malleolar part, and able to partially rotate with respect to the outer casing 12.
  • the outer casing 12 and the ankle section 13 centrally comprise a central opening 11 defined at the sides by two edges, respectively a first 11 a and a second 11b.
  • the sports boot 10 also comprises three closing hooks 15 disposed astride the central opening 11, respectively, a first on the outer casing 12 in correspondence with the metatarsal zone of the foot, a second in correspondence with the instep, and a third on the ankle section 13, in correspondence with the tibial zone of the leg.
  • Each closing hook 15 comprises an anchorage lever 16 assembled on the first edge 11a, and an adjustment rack 17 assembled on the second edge 11b.
  • Both the anchorage lever 16 and the adjustment rack 17 are assembled on the respective edges 11a and 11b, in a substantially known way, for example by means of screws, rivets, pins or other.
  • the traditional closing and opening operations of the closing hooks 15 determine the reciprocal positioning of the edges 11a and 11b, so as to define, respectively, a plurality of closed conditions and an open condition of the boot 10, so as to allow the user to put on and take off the boot, as well as to use it correctly.
  • the anchorage lever 16 comprises a command element 19 hinged to the first edge 11a through a hinging base 24, a central segment 20 constrained to the command element 19, and a terminal segment 21 constrained to the central segment 20 and provided with an attachment peg 22.
  • the adjustment rack 17 comprises a plate 23 attached to the second edge 11b and on which a plurality of attachment teeth 25 are made.
  • Each attachment tooth 25 is oriented and conformed so as to allow the housing of the attachment peg 22 of the anchorage lever 16, and to cooperate with the latter so as to define defined closed positions of the boot 10.
  • a constraint tooth 26 is also made on the plate 23, oriented in the opposite direction to the closing teeth 25 and conformed so as to allow the temporary housing inside it of the attachment peg 22 of the anchorage lever 16.
  • the boot 10 also comprises a plurality of opening devices 18, in this case integrated with each of the closing hooks 15, and able to define a condition of controlled extra-opening of the boot 10.
  • each opening device 18 comprises a substantially U-shaped clasp 30, and a coupling seating 27 having a shape coordinated with the clasp 30, to allow the selective and stable positioning of the latter inside it.
  • the clasp 30 is pivoted to the command element 19, while the coupling seating 27 is made in correspondence with the hinging base 24 of the command element 19.
  • the disposition of the clasp 30 inside the coupling seating 27 determines a condition of stable positioning of the command element 19, and consequently also of the central segment 20 and the terminal segment 21, toward the entrance opening 11.
  • the positioning of the clasp 30 in the coupling seating 27 determines a determinate reciprocal position of the anchorage lever 16 and the first edge 11a.
  • two or more coupling seatings 27 can be provided, able to determine different positions of the attachment leverl6 with respect to the first edge 11a, so as to define an equal number of different open conditions of the boot 10.
  • the release of the thrust condition is determined by removing the clasp 30 from the relative coupling seating 27.
  • each opening device 118 is integrated with a relative closing hook 15 and comprises, on its edge 11a, a stop tooth 127 provided in this case with three stop grooves 129.
  • a latch-type element 130 is elastically pivoted, provided with a constraint lip 131, able to selectively cooperate with each of the stop portions 129, so as to define three different positions of the attachment lever 16 with respect to the first edge 11a.
  • the release of the thrust condition is determined by manual pressure on the latch-type element 130, so as to determine the exit of the constraint lip 131 from the relative stop groove 127.
  • the elasticity of the material that makes up the edges 11a and 11b determines the repositioning of the latter in the normal open condition of the boot 10.
  • the laces are suitable to be pulled by the user, from opposite sides with respect to the opening 11, so as to further increase the opening of the ankle section 13, and therefore to further facilitate the operations of putting in and taking out the foot.
