Abstract

PURPOSE: To rapidly and accurately visualize time, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure data and the like by detachably fixing a display device, selectively providing a cover and protective means, and providing an own power source or a source for connecting the structure of the device. CONSTITUTION: A display device 105 provides an externally viewable dial plate 106, and the dial plate 106 is temporarily protected and covered by an attachable cover element 12. This display device 105 is a thermometer consisting of the arrangement of a cell 6 in which its color or luminous intensity is changeable by a temperature. And the device 105 also provides a color-changeable plate for measuring a atmospheric temperature and the other atmospheric data, an independent power source such as a solar battery and the like, or a power source to be supplied by a battery inserted into the display device or the inside of a shoe structure for example. When a selective cover and/or a protecting means 12 is taken off, a skier can just watch the displayed images of the display device such as a clock, a thermometer, an atmospheric pressure, a compass, a hygrometer and the like. Therefore, the accurate and rapid display of the image of a useful data for the skier such as a time, a temperature, a humidity, an atmospheric pressure and the like are given.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to ski boots.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION While skiing, especially in mountain skiing, there are a number of items carried by a skier, such as watches, compasses, barometers, etc., which are stored in windbreakers, pants or backpack pockets or storage compartments depending on the skiing situation. Problems (sometimes felt) that accessories cannot be taken out easily.

(Department FM that the invention seeks to solve) This is because skiers usually wear gloves.

This operation cannot be performed while skiing, and the skier is forced to put down the backpack, or in any case remove gloves, in order to access the various pockets and storage compartments.

This also arises from the fact that when it is necessary to prepare the skis before climbing and descending, a suitable ski wax has to be selected, and in this case it is actually necessary to use a thermometer or Appropriate instruments such as hygrometers are required for correct technical selection.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing an invention for quickly and accurately visualizing data such as time, temperature, humidity, pressure, etc. on the skier.

One of the important tasks for the above-mentioned purpose is to provide an invention that allows said visual imaging to occur in a simple manner, without forcing the skier to remove his gloves, for example.

Another important challenge is to provide an invention that is reliable and safe in use.

A non-negligible challenge is to produce inventions whose costs are not excessive.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Other objects and objects mentioned above and which will become apparent below include removably mounting at least one externally visible display device, and providing a cover and a cover for said at least one display device. This is achieved by a ski boot, optionally provided with protective means, characterized in that the display device is provided with its own power supply or with a power supply connected to its structure.

(Function) According to the present invention, useful data for skiers such as time, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, etc. can be displayed on the ski boots as a visible image, and the power source of the display device is It is inserted inside the shoe structure.

Other features and effects of the present invention are 1. This will become clear from the detailed description of an embodiment, shown by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings.

(Embodiment) In the embodiment shown in each figure, the reference numeral 1,101 indicates a ski boot constituted by a main body portion 2,102 in which a front waistband 3,103 and a rear waistband 4°104 are connected.

The ski boot may naturally have a front entry type or a mixed construction.

Reference numeral 5,105 designates a display device consisting of a clock, thermometer, barometer, compass or the like, which can be mounted anywhere on the ski boot 1,101, and thus for example on the rear waistband 4°104. Side and front waist leather 3,10
3 or the main body 2,102.

The display fi 105 has a dial 106 which is visible from the outside of the ski boot 101 and which can be protected and temporarily protected by a cover element 12 which can be attached thereto, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5. You can cover the target.

This cover element, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6,
It can also be configured with a transparent shield 112.

The display device may be mounted by a snap connection, as shown in FIG. It is removably attached to the ski boot by means such as a snap connection (FIG. 9).

Alternatively, the display device 105 can be attached to a special rivet 9 (FIG. 10), a snap pin 10 (FIG. 11) or a screw 1.
1 (Fig. 12).

2 there is shown a removable display device 5 constituted by a piece of flexible structure 5a which is attached to a shoe in the manner known under the trade name "Velcro" or in a similar manner.

The display device 5 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is itself a thermometer of the known type consisting of an array of cells 6 whose color and intensity change depending on the temperature.

The display device may also include, for example, a color-changing plate for measuring temperature (as shown in Figures 1 and 2) and other weather data, an independent power source such as a solar cell for its operation, or a display device. The power supply can be provided by a storage battery inserted into the container or inside the shoe structure.

The use of the invention is extremely simple; upon removing the optional cover and/or protection means 12, the skier can display the clock, thermometer, barometer, compass, hygrometer, etc. according to the conditions as described above. The instrument display can be visualized immediately.

Therefore, it can be said that the present invention achieves its intended purpose and problem and provides accurate and rapid visualization of data useful to skiers, such as time, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, etc.

This visual imaging is done very quickly and easily without forcing the skier to remove gloves or search the contents of the windbreaker, pants pockets, or storage compartments.

The number of numerical indicators and their size and material can naturally be made the most appropriate according to the particular conditions.

The type of source and the available covering and/or protection measures are also of paramount importance according to the particular conditions.

In the claims, parts describing technical features are followed by reference numerals, but these reference numerals are included only to enhance the understanding of the claims, and therefore these reference numerals are , the examples based on these reference numerals do not have any limiting effect on the scope of each element specified.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, skiers can extremely quickly and easily determine the time, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure without having to take off their gloves or search the contents of their windbreakers, pants pockets, or storage compartments. It is possible to create a visual image of the display of data such as.
