Definitions

  • the invention relates to a boot according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the releasable connecting means of such boots e.g. Work, hiking or cross-country skiing boots are usually shoe straps which are drawn through eyelets arranged at intervals on both sides of the longitudinal slit - which can also be a wider cutout.
  • shoe straps which are drawn through eyelets arranged at intervals on both sides of the longitudinal slit - which can also be a wider cutout.
  • boots which have three longitudinal slots in parallel, of which the middle longitudinal slot is bridged by a zipper and the two laterally lying longitudinal slots are bridged by shoelace lacing connections.
  • longitudinal slots which are equipped with a releasable connecting means of variable circumferential extent, namely with the Shoelace lace connection
  • longitudinal slot which is equipped with a releasable quick release, namely a zipper
  • Lacing is done only once, with the boot being adjusted; after that, only the quick-release fastener is actuated, that is, in the preferred case, the zip fastener is opened and closed.
  • the measure according to claim 1 has the result that no crossed shoe band parts are exposed, on which obstacles could get caught.
  • the lacing connection in the upper part of the boot, where the eyelets are further apart, the lacing connection can be loosened with a few handles and then tightened again without too much effort, while in the instep area, in which the shaft merges into the foot part of the boot , due to the denser eyelets, the local boot width is adjustable and then, even if the shaft is loosened, remains essentially. It is particularly advantageous if the eyelet distances on lower part of the longitudinal slot be 0.4 to 0.7 times the eye spacing at the upper part of the longitudinal slot.
  • An at least partial backing of the slit by a strip of a material layer is advantageous, as a result of which the tightness is considerably improved, both against penetrating water and against penetrating tips and the like, which in turn is associated with the areas of the crossover of the shoe strap that may still be exposed in the longitudinal slit area could get caught.
  • the measures according to the invention are not only applicable when there is a slot with a quick-release fastener and a slot with a quick-release fastener, but they are particularly in an application claimed in claim 5 on a boot known per se with two parallel shoelace-lace connections between which the quick-release fastener lies, applicable.
  • the strip of material lying between the laces can be connected according to claim 6 below with the material of the foot part of the boot, in particular sewn to it, with the result that the quick-release fastener, if it is a zipper, without holding the lower end of the strip and thus with only one hand can be closed, or is preferably attached by the design according to claim 7, namely by the lower end of the lacing connection itself, so that the material strip with the quick release fastener is a separate component that does not interfere with the manufacture of the boot and that can be exchanged or replaced very easily.
  • the risk of the lower end of this strip of material getting caught on an obstacle, e.g. when climbing the ladder, is also banned in the embodiments according to claims 6 and 7.
  • the slits are preferably parallel to one another on the front side of the boot, where they are protected by the underlying foot part of the boot from collisions with foreign bodies or with the other boot, but a different division is also possible.
  • the The quick release fastener also runs along a side line, as is often the case with pure zip fastener boots, or two slits could run along the right and left of the shaft.
  • the boot consists in the usual way of a sole 1, a foot part 2 and a shaft 3. From the upper edge 4 of the shaft 3 in the example described, three longitudinal slots 5, 6 and 7 run parallel through the shaft 3 down to and parallel to the shaft axis the foot part 2. These longitudinal slots 5, 6 and 7 thus divide the boot into four more or less partially cylindrical segments, of which the two segments adjoining the slot 6 form a strip of material 8 which in the lower region beyond the end of the slot 6 at 9 is sewn onto the material of the foot part 2.
  • the longitudinal slot 6 is bridged over its entire length by a linear zipper 16.
  • the strip 8 By opening and closing the zipper 16, the strip 8 can be divided over most of its length and thus the shaft 3 can be opened and closed along the longitudinal slot 6 without the lacing of the laces 12 having to be released.
  • the boot can therefore be optimally adapted to the wearer's ankle and lower leg area and is nevertheless quick and easy to put on and take off without disturbing the shape of the shaft resulting from the adjustment.
  • a closure tab 17 is also shown, which can be laid at the upper edge 4 and hooked at 18 and e.g. can consist of an elastic band.
  • a closure flap can be attached in addition to the closures described, in order to possibly bring about a closer contact of the upper edge 4 to the lower leg, but should generally not be necessary.
  • the eyelets 11 are arranged in an upper part 21 of the longitudinal slots 5, 7 at a greater mutual distance than in a lower part 22.
  • the eyelet distances are not completely constant within the parts 21 and 22, but also slightly depending on the shape of the shoe different, but at the transition from the lower to the upper part of the longitudinal slots, the distance increases to almost double.
  • This transition between parts 21 and 22 lies approximately at the upper end of the instep area, which in turn represents the transition from the shaft to the foot part.
  • the boot thus has a relatively dense lacing in the instep area, which leads to a certain dimensional stability of this boot part and for which it is seldom needed to loosen it, while the lacing in the upper part 21 of the longitudinal slots is less tight and can be loosened with just a few steps and then tightened again.
  • the middle material strip 8 is two-ply and its inner layer 25 protrudes along the longitudinal slots 5 and 7 to a certain extent over the outer layer 26, whereby a backing strip 27 is created, which causes a certain sealing of the respective longitudinal slot and shields in particular the crossings of the shoe strap 12 against the penetration of hook-like foreign bodies from the outside.
  • the width of the backing strips 27 is expediently chosen such that, in the usual gaps in the longitudinal slots 5 and 7, they still deposit these slots completely or at least to a large extent.
  • the boot shown in Fig. 3 differs from the embodiment in Fig. 1 in that it has only two of the three longitudinal slots.
  • the longitudinal slit 5 is held together by the shoelace 12 and is used to adjust the width of the boot.
  • the longitudinal slot 6 is in turn closed by the zipper 16. This simpler embodiment of the boot enables lower production costs and faster adjustment of the boot width, since only the one longitudinal slit 5 is tied to the shoe strap 12.
  • the material strip 8 is not sewn on at the bottom, but is fixed there by the shoe strap 12.
  • the lower material layer 25 here does not form, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, wide backing strips 27 over the entire height, but is only so widened on both sides in the area of the lower strip edge, with the formation of tabs 28, that in these tabs there is space for an additional one on each side Is eyelet 29, the under tight eyelet 11 'of the tight lacing Row of eyes comes to rest in the shaft.
  • the left-hand side is taut and the right-hand side is loosely laced.
  • the lacing at the location of the eyelets 11 ', 29 results in a firm hold of the strip 8, which is held and fixed there against tension, for example when the zipper is closed.
  • the strip 8 with the zipper 16 is, however, a separately manufactured piece which does not interfere with the boot manufacture and which, in the event of a defect in the zipper 16, can be replaced by the end user himself simply by loosening the lacing.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment in which the eyelets in the lower region of the longitudinal slots 5, 7 are arranged differently.
  • two lowermost eyelets 11 ′′ are not arranged in a line with the respective row of eyelets in the material strip 8, but rather in the middle of the material strip 8, i. H. closer to the longitudinal slot 6.
  • This provides a space in the material strip 8 along the longitudinal slots 5, 7, almost in line with the eyelets 11 in the material strip 8, at each of which there is an eyelet 29 ′′.
  • the eyelets 11 ′′, 29 ′′ again result in the holder for the marial strip 8 in the area of the foot part. This ensures that the zipper 16 is held and fixed in order to enable easy closing of the zipper with one hand.
  • the arrangement of the eyelets 11 '', 29 '' ensures that the longitudinal slots 5, 7 can be narrowed very much in the lower region by the lacing, which means that the boot can also be easily adapted to narrow feet.
  • the tab 28 prevents the edges of the material from bumping against one another and, when tilted, folds that would have a disruptive effect when walking, and on the other hand increases the friction between the shoelace 12 and the material on which the shoelace rests, thereby better fixing the strip 8 is achieved.
  • the opening area of the boot is as shown Example still sealed by a further layer of material against the ingress of moisture, namely by a tongue 31, which is a relatively stiff part that is shaped in accordance with the curve of the boot, and side soft, flexible material strips 32, each on the one hand on a longitudinal edge of the central tongue 31 and on the other hand are attached to the material of the shaft 3 in the region of the outer edges of the longitudinal slots 5 and 7.
  • the closure area of the boot is completely backed up and the inside of the boot is still lined with a waterproof, breathable special fabric in the example shown.
  • FIG. 6 shows a part of a boot according to the invention according to a further embodiment.
  • the eyelets 11 are again arranged along the longitudinal slot 5 with a decreasing distance.
  • the longitudinal stripes of the shoelace 12 only run within very short distances on the outside of the shaft wall.
  • the crossings of the shoelace extend over a larger area, but in turn run on the inside of the shaft wall. This design reduces the risk of getting caught on obstacles. So that no obstacles can get caught in the crossover of the shoelace 12 even in the remaining gap along the longitudinal slot 5, the inner layer 25 of the middle material strip 8 protrudes beyond the outer layer 26, in the form of individual tabs 30 continuous backing strip 27, the region of the boot along the longitudinal slot 5 remains more mobile without the crossings of the shoe strap 12 being exposed.
