Abstract

two-piece alpine ski boot system, consisting of a stable outer shell and one to fit developed sporty winter boots, characterized that the outer shell of the ski boot system through their buckle system (4, 5) developed a precisely fit Boots (8) can fix stable, so that boots and outer shell, if one fitted and one another with closed buckles, a stable alpine ski boot system form.

Description

1. State of the art

• 1.1. The current and commercial alpine ski boots ("hardboots") are a closed system, that of a relatively inflexible and hard outer shoe and an insulating Liner exists. The so-called liner is common removable, but this is not operational as a standalone shoe. D. H. the liner alone is not designed or suitable with it outside walk around. Leading to that the usual alpine ski boots through your hard outer shell though stability while skiing offer, but equally extreme difficult and uncomfortable, sometimes painful, as soon as you is not fixed for the purpose of skiing on the ski, so z. For example, if you walk around with it got to.
• 1.2. In the year 2002/2003 there were efforts so-called "Soft Boots" for the alpine Introduce skiing, what first promising, but ultimately not successful in the market could prevail. One of the main reasons was that the alpine "softboot" was similar to the above-described "hard boat" consisted of one part. He differed from the "Hardboot" only in his flexibility and use of softer materials, but that caused the skier while skiing for stability lost and the feeling had "in the shoe to swim".

2nd embodiment of the two-part alpine ski boot system:

The The basic idea is the stable outer shell and the comfortable Liner to develop a two-part system, so that the liner an independent one Boots forms and also without outer shell as a comfortable winter shoe is functional. Below are the two parts of the system are described:

2.1. The outer shell

The outer shell forms the stable skeleton of the ski boot system, without liner, without insulation or padding. It should ensure the necessary stability for skiing while one with an exact fit developed and functional boots in the outer shell and thus on the Ski is fixed. The fixation of the boot in the outer shell is achieved through buckle systems. The outer shell should be on the ski binding can be fixed and must with the commercial Skibindungssysteme be compatible. The outer shell is also in Steplessly over your sole at least 3 shoe sizes adjustable and fixable, which is compatible with different shoe sizes Boots guaranteed.

2.2. The boot

Of the functional boots are well insulated against cold, gives the foot the required Hold, is lightweight, comfortable and without the outer shell described above separately as winter boots or footwear fully operational and suitable. You can use the boot as a completely independent winter boot wear. The boot is in registration on the outer shell described above customized in terms of its dimensions like Length, Width, height and its locking system, as well its shape and its design.

3. Innovation and benefits for the user:

3.1. Comfort:

As soon as the skier is not in the ski binding and in the outer shell fixed, offers a comfortable, lightweight, warm boot absolute Comfort. Such a wearing comfort can be a conventional inflexible, stiff alpine ski boot does not offer due to its hard outer shell. Especially while running, z. B. on the way to the ski station, to and in the bus, in Car, at the hut, at the après Ski is no longer so difficult to the uncomfortable and partly Painful conventional, one-piece Alpine ski boots limited.

3.2. Halt & Safety:

The force Stop and the necessary Guaranteed safety, which the alpine skier wishes for skiing the outer shell, but only when and only when you need them, as soon as you get the exact fit Boots in the outer shell, so then in the ski binding and on the skis rises.

3.3. Flexibility & service life:

The outer shell is adjustable in size, that's how it works covering the sole for a Adjust the interval of at least 3 shoe sizes infinitely in length and fix.

Just In children and adolescents, the outer shell can "grow" with the foot, so it does not have to to be bought new every year. Only a new passport accurate Boots would have to be bought be, the outer shell can be according to the length and size of the boot customized become. This flexibility is only possible by the separation of shoe and shell.

3.4. Individual settings options:

The structure and the fixation system of the outer shell offers by its reduction to the necessary stabilization elements (rail (rail 1 ) and buckles ( 4 . 5 )) significantly more flexibility in the setting options. The corresponding joints ( 3 ) can be fixed in various desired positions. So z. B. sporty drivers vary the angle of inclination of lower leg to foot accordingly and fix.

3.5. Transport & fixation

By the under 3.4. described forward folding rail can leave the outer shell on the ski firmly in the bond, even if z. B. would like to transport the skis on foot. For this one works the rail ( 1 ) 90 ° forward, so that it rests flat on the sole and fixes the rail through the buckles ( 5 ).

1

rail to stabilize the lower leg and fix the boot in the outer shell.

2

The splint can be defined by at least one joint ( 3 ) fold 90 ° forwards so that it can rest on the sole.

3

joints for adjusting and fixing the angle of inclination of the rail to individual adaptation.

4

buckles for fixing the boot in the outer shell. Fixation of the tibia and Lower leg in the boot and in the outer shell.

5

buckles for fixing the boot in the outer shell. Fixation of the upper foot on the Ski binding system and in the outer shell.

6

sole with compatible connection system for conventional ski bindings.

7

infinitely variable adjustable and fixable sole of the outer shell.

8th

Boots the exact fit in the outer shell fits, both Parts together form a sturdy alpine ski boot system

Claims (6)
