Definitions

  • This invention relates to a ski boot structure with a heel securing device.
  • ski boots and particularly rear entrance ski boots, require that the heel be held securely when the boot is in its closed position.
  • That embodiment while being convenient from a functional standpoint, has shown to be highly expensive, because the small flap attached to the inner shoe is in general a padded item to be made separately from the shoe and then sewn to the inner shoe.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a ski boot which, by virtue. of its peculiar constructional features, can give full assurance of being reliable and safe to use.
  • a not least object of this invention is to provide a ski boot, wherein the making of the heel securing means has no practical effect on the end product cost.
  • a ski boot structure with a heel securing device comprising a shell having at least one quarter associated therewith, and characterized in that it comprises, at the free rear edge of said shell, a small flap extending upwards and being engageable with the user's foot substantially at ankle level.
  • a ski boot according to the invention comprises a shell, indicated at 1, which has substantially a traditional configuration and is, preferably, of the rear entrance type.
  • the usual soft inner shoe 4 is located which, with rear entrance boots, has its rear portion preferably open to facilitate introduction and withdrawal of the foot into/out of the boot.
  • the peculiar aspect of the invention is that, at the free rear edge 5 of the shell 2, there is provided a small flap 10 which is formed integrally during the shell molding process.
  • the flap 10 has a substantially bucket-like configuration with side extensions 11 which overlap at least in part the rear edges of the shoe 4.
  • the flap 10 is positioned substantially level with ankle of the user's foot, and is arranged such that it is urged by the rear quarter, during the boot closing phase, to practically fill the "empty" area at the ankle, thereby securing the heel inside the boot.
  • the flap 10 is connected to the cited free rear edge 5 by a narrow width section 12 which affords easy elastic flexing of the flap 10, both during the boot utilization phase and during shake-out of the former from the shell-making mold.
  • the flap 10 is pushed against the inner shoe to provide a comfortable and reliable securement of the ankle, and consequently, of the foot heel inside the boot.
  • the invention fully achieves its objects, and in particular the fact should be emphasized that the anatomical configuration assumed by the flap allows the edges or flaps of the soft inner shoe to be at least partly wrapped around, urging it against the user's foot to effect a stable securement.
  • the materials used may be any suitable ones to meet individual requirements.
