Definitions
- the present invention relates to a ski boot provided with a device for locking the collar relative to the shell base.
- a ski boot comprises an outer shell made of a substantially rigid plastic material, and an inner lining made of an elastic foam material.
- the boot shell in two parts, namely, a shell base including the sole, and a collar articulated to the shell base at the location of the ankle with a slight forward inclination.
- An example of a device of this type comprises a lever hinged to the rear of the collar and provided with a traction ring adapted to engage a sawtooth rack secured to the shell base.
- EP-A-577926 represents the prior art as referred to in the preamble of claim 1.
- Another inconvenience consists in that the operation of these devices is rather cumbersome, considering the environmental and other conditions (gloved hands) under which the skier is forced to actuate them.
- Claim 2 enables a compact arrangement of the release element on the tappet.
- the embodiment of the release element according to Claim 3 enables for the user a very simple movement from the downhill position into the walking position of the ski boot by rotating the actuator arm of the release element, whereby the other arms act as obturator elements for the slot-shaped aperture.
- the release element extends with one of its obturator elements in the slot-shaped aperture so that this aperture is closed in the skiing position of the ski boot and with its other obturator element in the walking position of the ski boot.
- a ski boot according to the invention as illustrated in the drawings is made of an injection-molded plastic material and substantially comprises a shell base 1 and a collar 2 articulated there to by hinge pins 3 provided adjacent the location of the ankle.
- a tappet 4 articulated to collar 2 by a pin 5.
- An upper extension of tappet 4 is formed as a fork 6 supporting a pin 7 with a release element 8 mounted thereon.
- Release element 8 is formed with an actuator arm 9 projecting from collar 2 through an aperture 10 formed therein, two obturator arms 11 and 11' angularly offset from actuator arm 9, and two lateral cams 12 taking support on the inner vertical rims of the slot-shaped aperture 10.
- a helical spring 13 interposed between collar 2 and the lower end 14 of tappet 4 acts to hold this end in contact with shell base 1 in the absence of external forces.
- Foot portion 1 carries a stop 15 mounted thereon at a location opposite lower tappet end 14.
- the ski boot according to the invention is used in the following manner: during downhill skiing collar 2 is maintained at a forwards inclined position relative to shell base 1, this configuration being maintained stable by a toggle mechanism formed about hinge pin 7 by cams 12 of release element 8 and tappet 4 with its lower end 14 taking support on stop 15. In this configuration arm 11 of release element 8 obturates aperture 10 to prevent snow from entering the ski boot.
- ski boot according to the invention offers numerous advantages, such as:

Abstract
Description
- fig. 1
- shows a longitudinally sectioned partial view of a ski boot according to the invention, with its collar in the locked state,
- fig. 2
- shows a view similar to fig. 1 with the collar in the unlocked state, and
- fig. 3
- shows a sectioned view taken along the line III-III in fig. 1.
during
- the impossibility of accidental unlocking of the tappet
thanks to it being held by
spring 13 in a position beyond the dead point of the toggle mechanism, - the possibility of executing the locking operation by simply pivoting the collar, and
- the possibility of executing the unlocking operation by simply rotating an arm in a circular arc, i.e. by an effortless manoeuvre.
Claims (5)
- A ski boot provided with a collar (2) articulated on a shell base (1) of this boot connected with hinge pins (3) which are arranged in the area of the ankle part of the boot and with a device for locking its collar (2) relative to its shell base (1) which includes a tappet (4), provided at the rear of the ski boot, articulated on the collar (2) and pivotable on a substantially horizontal axis (5) between two extreme positions, where, in one of them, the lower end of the above said tappet (4) constitutes an interactive hip by its lower end with a stop means (15) integral with the shell base (1) in order to maintain the collar (2) in the forward inclined position, while in the other extreme position the lower end of the aforesaid tappet (4) is released from that stop means (15) characterised therein that the upper arm of that tappet (4) is provided with a release element (8) coming out from the collar (2) through a preferably slot-shaped aperture (10) therein, and that the release element (8) is interacting with said upper arm for the articulated control of the tappet (4) by means of a spring biased dead point toggle mechanism (4, 5, 13, 15) in order to insure the stability of the tappet (4) in both of said extreme positions.
- A ski boot according to claim 1, characterized therein that said tappet (4) has its upper end formed as a fork (6) provided with a pin (7) for mounting thereon pivotable said release element (8).
- A ski boot according to claim 2, characterized therein that said release element (8) comprises three arms (9,11,11') angularly offset from one another, one arm (9) being formed as an actuator element, the other arms (11,11') acting as oburator elements for said aperture (10).
- A ski boot according to claim 3, characterized therein that said actuator arm (9) of the release element (8) extends in each position outwardly of the collar (2) and one of the obturator elements (11) closes the aperture (10) in the skiing position of the skiboot and the other obturator element (11') closes the aperture (10) in the walking position of the skiboot.
- A ski boot according to one of the Claims 1 to 4, characterized therein that the release element (8) comprises two lateral cams (12) taking support on the inner vertical rims of the preferably slot-shaped aperture (10).
