Abstract
A clamp (1) for ski boots and similar, having a supporting plate (2) fixed rigidly to a first portion of the outer shell of the boot; a lock lever (3) hinged at one end (3a) to the supporting plate (2); and a lock arm (4) having a first end (4a) hinged to slide freely along a central portion (3b) of the body of the lock lever (3), and a second end (4b) shaped to engage an anchoring plate (5) fixed rigidly to a second portion of the outer shell of the boot.
Description
- The present invention relates to a clamp for ski boots and similar.
- More specifically, the present invention relates to a clamp for ski boots and similar having a rigid plastic outer shell, to which the following description refers purely by way of example.
- As is known, ski boots with a rigid plastic outer shell are equipped with a number of clamps by which to clamp the boot in such a manner as to immobilize the user's leg inside the boot.
- At present, known clamps comprise: a supporting plate fixed rigidly to a first end of the outer shell of the boot; a lock lever hinged at one end to a pair of brackets projecting from the supporting plate; and a lock arm having a first end hinged to the central portion of the lock lever, and a second end shaped to engage an anchoring plate fixed rigidly to a second portion of the outer shell of the boot.
- The lever is hinged to the supporting plate so as to rotate between a lock position, in which the body of the lock lever is parallel to and facing the supporting plate, so that part of the arm is located astride the brackets on the supporting plate, and the free end of the lock arm is at a minimum distance from the supporting plate; and a release position, in which the body of the lock lever is rotated frontwards with respect to the supporting plate, so that the whole lock arm is located downstream from the brackets on the supporting plate, and the free end of the lock arm is at a maximum distance from the supporting plate.
- Unfortunately, the structure of known clamps seriously limits the amount of forward travel the free end of the lock arm is permitted when the lock lever is switched from the lock to the release position.
- To increase travel of the lock arm, the distance between the point at which the lock lever is hinged to the supporting plate, and the point at which the lock arm is hinged to the lock lever, would have to be increased, thus resulting in an unacceptable increase in the force required of the user on the lock lever to clamp the boot.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a clamp for ski boots and similar, designed to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a clamp for ski boots and similar, comprising a supporting plate fixed to the outer shell of the boot; a lock lever hinged at a first end to said supporting plate; and a lock arm fixed at a first end to said lock lever; said clamp being characterized in that the first end of said lock arm is hinged to slide freely along a central portion of the body of said lock lever.
- A non-limiting embodiment of the present invention will be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 shows a schematic view, with parts removed for clarity, of a clamp for ski boots and similar, in accordance with the teachings of the present invention;
- Figure 2 shows a plan view, with parts in section and parts removed for clarity, of the Figure 1 clamp;
- Figure 3 shows a schematic view, with parts removed for clarity, of the Figure 1 and 2 clamp in the release position;
- Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7 show detailed views of four variations of a component part of the Figure 1-3 clamp for ski boots and similar.
- With reference to Figures 1 and 2,
number 1 indicates as a whole a clamp particularly suitable for ski boots, mountaineering boots, roller-blade skate boots, ice-skate boots, and numerous other types of sports boots comprising an outer shell of rigid material (e.g. plastic), so as to enable the user to clamp the boot quickly and effectively to immobilize the leg inside the boot. -
Clamp 1 comprises a supportingplate 2 fixed rigidly to a first portion of the outer shell (not shown) of the boot; alock lever 3 hinged at oneend 3a to supportingplate 2; and alock arm 4 having afirst end 4a hinged so as to slide freely along acentral portion 3b of the body oflock lever 3, as explained in detail later on, and asecond end 4b shaped to engage a knownanchoring plate 5 fixed rigidly to a second portion (not shown) of the outer shell of the boot. - With reference to Figures 1 and 2 in particular,
lock lever 3 is hinged to two flat parallel facingbrackets 2a projecting from supportingplate 2, so as to rotate freely about an axis A of rotation perpendicular to the mid-plane M of the lever, and has acentral opening 6 extending fromend 3a inwards of the body oflock lever 3 and parallel to mid-plane M of the lever. - More specifically,
end 3a oflock lever 3 is located between the twoflat brackets 2a on supportingplate 2, and central, opening 6divides end 3a into two parallel facing appendixes, each of which is hinged to arespective bracket 2a by acylindrical pin 7 extending parallel to axis A through the body ofbracket 2a and the appendix. - With reference to Figures 1 and 2, at
central portion 3b of its body,lock lever 3 comprises two contouredtransverse slots 8, each formed in a corresponding appendix ofend 3a oflock lever 3. The two contouredslots 8 are obviously located on opposite sides of mid-plane M of the lever, and extend along the same axis parallel to axis A, so as to be aligned with each other. - With reference to Figures 1, 2 and 3,
lock arm 4 is divided into two longitudinal portions, to which correspond the twoends lock arm 4. - The longitudinal
portion comprising end 4a of the arm - hereinafter indicated 9 - is shaped to engage and slide alongcentral opening 6 formed in the body oflock lever 3, and has on the end, i.e. atend 4a of the arm, twocylindrical pins 10 extending on opposite sides of the body oflongitudinal portion 9, so as each to engage and slide along a respectivecontoured slot 8. - Both
pins 10 extend coaxially with an axis B parallel to the axis A of rotation oflock lever 3, so as to slide freely, insidecontoured slots 8, between a first work position (Figures 1 and 2) in whichpins 10 rest against the inner lateral surface portions of the twocontoured slots 8 closest tocylindrical pins 7, and axis B is at a minimum distance from axis A; and a second work position (Figure 3) in whichpins 10 rest against the inner lateral surface portions of the two contouredslots 8 furthest fromcylindrical pins 7, and axis B is at a maximum distance from axis A. In addition,pins 10 are shaped to rotate freely about axis B inside the twocontoured slots 8, so as to allowlock arm 4 to rotate freely with respect tolock lever 3. - In other words,
end 4a oflock arm 4 is hinged to slide freely alongcentral portion 3b of the body oflock lever 3, in which the two contouredslots 8 are formed. - With reference to Figures 1 and 3, the second longitudinal portion of
lock arm 4 comprisingend 4b of the arm - hereinafter indicated 11 - is shaped to permit fast engagement and troublefree release ofanchoring plate 5 by the free end, and is preferably, though not necessarily, connected tolongitudinal portion 9 by a known mechanical articulatedjoint 12 enabling the two portions to move with respect to each other. - Operation of
clamp 1 as described and illustrated is easily deducible from the foregoing description with no further explanation required. - The advantages of
clamp 1 are obvious: the fact thatlock arm 4 is mounted to slide alongcentral portion 3b of the body oflock lever 3 greatly increases the forward travel of thefree end 4b oflock arm 4 whenlock lever 3 is switched from the lock position to the release position, thus simultaneously reducing the effort required of the user onlock lever 3 to clamp the boot. In the example shown, aslock lever 3 is rotated into the lock position,pins 10 connectinglock arm 4 to the lever move along respectivecontoured slots 8 towards the axis A of rotation oflock lever 3, so as to reduce the arm (i.e. the distance between axes A and B) of the resisting force transmitted bylock arm 4 to the lever. - Clearly, changes may be made to the clamp as described and illustrated herein without, however, departing from the scope of the present invention.
- In particular, in the variations shown in Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7, contoured
slots 8 oflock lever 3 are so shaped thatpins 10 oflock arm 4 remain stationary as they slide along the slots, and axis B does not lie in the same plane through axis A at all times. - In particular, the path of axis B may be in the form of a broken line (Figure 4), an arc (Figure 5), or a straight line (Figures 6 and 7), but lying in a plane not intersecting the axis A of rotation of
lock lever 3. - Contoured
slots 8 may also be shaped so that, when axes A and B are a minimum distance apart, axis B is closer than axis A to supportingplate 2, so as to produce a torque by which to keep the lever in the lock position.
