Ski boots

The invention relates to a ski boot which is provided with an outer reinforcement that only bending of the leg forward in relation to the puss, i.e. normally required when skiing Movements, allowed.

As is well known, the usual ski boots must have sufficient rigidity, i.e. sufficient be made of hard material, since the ski boot must have a high degree of rigidity against transverse movements, just as the sole has to be stiff. These ski boots thus have the disadvantage that results from their stiffness found that they hinder the forward bending of the leg.

Many attempts have already been made to eliminate this disadvantage and to reduce the instep of the it covering the upper part of the ski boot is elastic

to shape, but the results have not been so far satisfactory.- '

It is the object of the present invention to remedy this deficiency, which by attaching a outer reinforcement on the ski boot happens, this reinforcement is removable in order to use the ski boot to allow walking on the street in the usual way. ·

In other words, the ski boot according to the invention is made of relatively soft, but completely waterproof and snowproof material, see above that the puss can move completely freely, and is surrounded by armor, which is attached to it when skiing and is hinged at the ankles to allow the shoe to flex forward, however prevent lateral movements of the same.

The actual reinforcement consists of four metal elements, which are placed in pairs through the ankles Joints are connected, each pair of elements forming a small frame that extends from the top of the ski boot to the sole and around it, where the narrower ends of the frames meet are connected. The four elements that make up the two frames are held in place by a series of plastic straps which are attached to the frame, surround the boot and are provided with hooks, with the help of which the Boots can be closed tightly and which hold the joint elements in their correct position.

The front straps extend so far down that they reach around the sole , and are connected at their ends to each other and to the narrow ends of the frames by a "metal slide.

BATH ORIGINAL

direction runs roughly through the middle of the sole and serves to keep the sole in a rigid position during use of the skis.

A preferred embodiment of the invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Show it:

Fig. 1 the inventive, provided with reinforcement Ski boots seen in side view from the inside;

2 shows the same ski boot in an external view; 3 shows a rear view of the ski boot, and Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the same.

As can be seen from Fig. 1, there is the ski boot as usual from the upper leather A and the sole B-Der Ski boots are made of a suitable soft material, i.e. a material that is not stiff, so that the boot can be worn as usual for walking on the street with the reinforcement removed.

The reinforcement of the boot consists of four similar metal elements 1, 2 and 1 ^f , 2 'connected to one another in pairs. Joints 3, 3 'are used to connect these metal elements, so that the elements 1, 1' can be rotated relative to the elements 2, 2 '.

The joints 3, 3 'are on both sides of the upper leather arranged exactly according to the position of the ankles. Each pair of elements forms a small frame, the extends from the upper edge of the upper leather A to the sole B and with its narrower ends 4, 4 ', which are connected to each other are connected to reach around the sole.

The four elements 1, 2 and V, 2 ¹ that make up the frame are fastened by a series of straps 5. » 6, 7 and 8 made of plastic in the correct position 009823/1210

held, the straps 5 and 6 overlap the rear part of the upper leather A, while the straps 7 and 8 overlap the front part of the upper leather on the instep of the foot. The straps J and 8 are provided with hooks 9, with the help of which the Sjefel can be closed tightly and which keep the hinge elements in the correct position.

The front strap 8 is extended downwards, encompasses the sole of the federal government with its two ends with the narrow ends of the frame through a metal rail 11 connected, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the sole approximately in the middle of the same and the sole at gives stiffness to the use of the skis.

For this purpose, grooves are provided in sole B to accommodate the metal rail and the belt, so that the metal rail and the straps with the outer surface cut off the sole.

Although "belts" were used throughout the description above, it is understood that these belts can be connected to one another so that they form branches or a network. The straps can do the same with recesses 10 to reduce the weight,? be seen and the materials used can also other than those described.
