Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a boot, particularly for ski-mountaineering or telemark skiing.
  • ski boots for ski-mountaineering have a different structure to regular ski boots in that the activity of ski-mountaineering involves executing both downhill and uphill segments and routes over apparently flat terrain.
  • the shell is usually closed at the front by a tongue that is more or less rigid and contoured, the function of which is to support and contrast, during descent, the load produced by the advancement of the tibial area, as well as to protect against shocks and against the ingress of water or snow into the boot.
  • Ski boots for ski-mountaineering are provided among other things with a locking device, which acts between the shell and the quarter and which is adapted to pass, on command, between an active position, which is used when going downhill and wherein it locks the relative rotation of the quarter with respect to the shell about the pivoting axis, and an inactive position in which the rotation of the quarter is allowed with respect to the shell about the pivoting axis.
  • a locking device which acts between the shell and the quarter and which is adapted to pass, on command, between an active position, which is used when going downhill and wherein it locks the relative rotation of the quarter with respect to the shell about the pivoting axis, and an inactive position in which the rotation of the quarter is allowed with respect to the shell about the pivoting axis.
  • the solutions most commonly used involve closing levers that act between two parts of the shell and/or of the quarter, and which are adapted to pass between an open position and a closed position, in order to move the boot between a first, open position in which the two parts are mutually spaced apart, and a second, closed position, in which the two parts are mutually close together.
  • the quarter when the boot is in the first, open position the quarter can rotate with respect to the shell in order to allow motion on the flat or make ascents, while when the boot is in the second, closed position, the quarter is locked in position with respect to the shell in order to make descents.
  • EP 2 311 338 A1 discloses a ski boot comprising a base shell, a sole, and an upper shell provided with a fastening clip, and a padded inner boot.
  • the upper shell is articulated to the base shell with pins disposed in the region of the malleoli, wherein the base shell defines a longitudinal slot exhibiting two strips coupled one to the other with a gaiter, and the base shell having a closure device.
  • the boot further comprises a first tongue joined to the base shell near a tip thereof, and having a differentiated rigidity.
  • a first portion of the first tongue has a free end having a lower rigidity than an opposite second portion of the first tongue that is joined to the base shell, and a removable second tongue being provided disposable to cover the first tongue, wherein the second tongue has a higher rigidity than the first tongue.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a boot, particularly for ski-mountaineering or telemark skiing, which is capable of improving the known art in one or more of the above mentioned aspects.
  • an object of the present invention is to allow the boot to offer a considerable flexibility in the open position, but at the same time to ensure a high rigidity overall in the closed position.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a boot, particularly for ski-mountaineering or telemark skiing, that is highly reliable, easy to implement and low cost.
  • the boot particularly for ski-mountaineering or telemark skiing according to the invention, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a shell 2 and a quarter 3 which are mutually articulated about a rotation axis 100.
  • the boot 1 comprises at least one fastening device 10, which is adapted to cause the transition of the boot 1 between a stiffened or closed position and a flexible or open position.
  • the boot 1 defines an insertion and exit opening for the foot of the user and a tongue element 5 associated with the shell 2 for the front closure of the boot 1.
  • the second tongue body 7 extends at least at the tarsal and metatarsal region of the foot of the user.
  • the second tongue body 7 is arranged facing the first tongue body 6 and is adapted to pass between an active or stiffening position, in which it is kept locked with respect to the first tongue body 6, and an inactive or flexing position, in which it is kept spaced apart from the first tongue body 6 at least at the tarsal and metatarsal region of the foot of the user.
  • the tongue element 5 offers lower resistance to flexing as a consequence of the rotation of the foot and of the tibia about the ankle, because the resistance to rotation is supplied exclusively by the first tongue body 6.
  • the second tongue body 7 is adapted to pass between the active or stiffening position and the inactive or flexing position and vice versa as a consequence of the transition of the boot 1 between the stiffened or closed position and the flexible or open position and vice versa.
  • the boot 1 comprises elastic means 20 that act between the first tongue body 6 and the second tongue body 7.
  • the elastic means 20 are adapted to keep the second tongue body 7 mutually spaced apart from the first tongue body 6 in the inactive or flexing position, at least at the tarsal and metatarsal region.
  • a tightening device that can be activated on command by the user and which acts in contrast with the elastic means 20 in order to cause, in the active or stiffening position, the second tongue body 7 to be kept close to the first tongue body 6 at the tarsal and metatarsal region.
  • the tibia tends to push the first tongue body 6 forward during motion.
  • the tightening device is associated with the fastening device.
  • the tightening device 4 comprises the fastening device.
  • the tightening device 4 can comprise one or more hooks for closing the shell 4a and one or more hooks for closing the quarter 4b.
  • the user by acting on the tightening device 4, causes the simultaneous transition of the tongue element 5 from the active or stiffening position to the inactive or flexing position, and vice versa.
  • the boot 1 comprises mutual coupling means 6a, 7a which are defined at the first tongue body 6 and at the second tongue body 7.
  • the mutual coupling means 6a, 7a are adapted to cause the mutual locking of the second tongue body 7 with respect to the first tongue body 6 in the active or stiffening position.
  • the engagement seat 6a is defined at the first tongue body 6, while the abutment body 7a is defined at the second tongue body 7.
  • the second tongue body 7 is coupled to the first tongue body 6 at a connection region that is arranged substantially proximate to the toe of the boot 1.
  • the first tongue body 6 and the second tongue body 7 have a concave surface that is directed toward the inside of the boot 1 and extends substantially parallel to the axis of the foot.
  • the elastic means 20 comprise, for example, a flexible tape that is supported at the surface of the second tongue body 7 that is directed toward the first tongue body 6.
  • the elastic means 20 are provided by the mutual shape structure of the first tongue body 6 and of the second tongue body 7.
  • the elastic means 20 can be obtained by folding the longitudinal edges of the second tongue body 7 more inward, and/or by further closing the angle directed toward the outside of the second tongue body 7 with respect to the angle defined by the first tongue body 6.
  • the first tongue body 6 has a weakening portion 6b, substantially at the tarsal and metatarsal region, which is adapted to increase the flexibility.
  • such weakening region can comprise a through opening, a region of reduced thickness, a bellows portion, etc.
  • the second tongue body 7 is integrally coupled to the first tongue body 6, thus effectively stiffening the tarsal and metatarsal region of the foot thus contrasting the forward thrust action of the tibia and the rotation action of the foot.
  • the elastic means 20 keep the second tongue body 7 spaced apart from the first tongue body 6, at least at the tarsal and metatarsal region.
