Abstract

A cross-country ski shoe has a high outer shaft and a low inner shaft. The inner shaft has a lacing device for retaining the foot. The outer shaft is closed by a covering tongue. The lacing system (10) of the inner shaft (3) also acts on the outer shaft (2) preferably in a region of flexure of the ankle.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sportschuh, insbesondere einen Langlaufskischuh, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a sports shoe, in particular a cross-country ski boot, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein solcher Sportschuh ist beispielsweise in der DE-OS 3151587 geoffenbart. Dieser bekannte Sportschuh weist einen höheren Außenschaft und einen niedrigeren Innenschaft auf, wobei der Innenschaft mittels einer Verschnürungseinrichtung verschließbar ist und so beim Benutzen dieses Sportschuhes den Fuß festhält. Der Außenschaft ist bei diesem bekannten Langlaufschuh durch eine Abdecklasche mit einer Schnellverschlußeinrichtung (einem Haftverschluß) geschlossen. Solche Haftverschlüsse sind unter dem Handelsnamen Velcro bekannt.Such a sports shoe is disclosed for example in DE-OS 3151587. This known sports shoe has a higher outer shaft and a lower inner shaft, the inner shaft being closable by means of a lacing device and thus holding the foot when using this sports shoe. The outer shaft is closed in this known cross-country shoe by a cover flap with a quick-release device (an adhesive fastener). Such fasteners are known under the trade name Velcro.

Dieser bekannte Langlaufskischuh hat den Nachteil, daß der Außenschaft ausschließlich durch die Abdecklasche verschlossen und gehalten wird. Beim Langlaufen wird das Knöchelgelenk bei jedem Schritt stark abgebeugt. Dadurch ergeben sich beim Langlaufskischuh in der Beugezone des Knöchelgelenks starke Beanspruchungen, wobei beim Abbeugen des Fußes in der Beugezone des Schuhes Falten entstehen. Das führt dazu, daß sich die Abdecklasche, welche ja nur durch einen Haftverschluß am Schaft gehalten ist, bei längerem Skilaufen löst und vom Skiläufer immer wieder neu fixiert werden muß. Dies um so mehr dann, wenn, wie in der Praxis üblich, die Abdecklasche zum leichteren Einsteigen in den Skischuh nur an ihrem vorderen Ende am Außenschaft festgenäht ist und zu beiden Seiten der Einstiegsöffnung des Schuhes durch ein Velcroband gehalten ist.This known cross-country ski boot has the disadvantage that the outer shaft is closed and held only by the cover flap. When cross-country skiing, the ankle joint is strongly bent at every step. This results in heavy loads on the cross-country ski boot in the flexion zone of the ankle joint, and wrinkles occur in the flexion zone of the boot when the foot is bent. This leads to the fact that the cover flap, which is only held in place by an adhesive fastener on the shaft, loosens when skiing for a long time and must be fixed again and again by the skier. This is all the more so when, as is usual in practice, the cover flap is only sewn onto the outer shaft at its front end for easier entry into the ski boot and is held on both sides of the boot's opening by a Velcro strap.

Der bekannte Langlaufskischuh hat weiters den Nachteil, daß die Verschnürungseinrichtung des Innenschaftes schwer zugänglich ist und der Benützer beim Binden eines Knotens oder einer Masche durch den Außenschaft behindert wird. Darüber hinaus kommt dann die Masche oder der Knoten innerhalb des Außenschaftes zu liegen, was, insbesondere bei längerem Gebrauch, zu unangenehmen Druckgefühlen führen kann.The known cross-country ski boot also has the disadvantage that the lacing device of the inner shaft is difficult to access and the user is hampered by the outer shaft when tying a knot or a stitch. In addition, the stitch or knot then comes to lie within the outer shaft, which can lead to uncomfortable feelings of pressure, especially with prolonged use.

Die Erfindung hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die Nachteile des bekannten Langlaufskischuhes zu vermeiden und einen Langlaufskischuh zu schaffen, bei welchem die Abdecklasche keine Haltefunktion sondern nur eine Abdeckfunktion für den Außenschaft, als Kälte- und Schneeschutz, ausübt. Weiters soll der Langlaufskischuh einfach und bequem anzuziehen und zu verschließen sowie in der Herstellung einfach und kostengünstig sein.The invention has set itself the goal of avoiding the disadvantages of the known cross-country ski boot and of creating a cross-country ski boot in which the cover flap does not have a holding function but only a cover function for the outer shaft, as protection against the cold and snow. Furthermore, the cross-country ski boot should be easy and convenient to put on and lock, and be simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Maßnahmen des kennzeichnenden Teiles des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Dadurch, daß nach Anspruch 1 die Verschnürungseinrichtung des inneren Schaftes auch den Außenschaft vorzugsweise in dessen Knöchelgelenksbeugezone hält, werden Zugkräfte in diesem stark beanspruchten Bereich des Außenschaftes durch die Verschnürungseinrichtung aufgenommen. Die Abdecklasche muß dadurch keine Kräfte aufnehmen und kann daher einfach und kostengünstig gestaltet werden, wobei dennoch auch bei längerem Gebrauch ein sicherer Verschluß gewährleistet ist. Weiters hat der erfindungsgemäße Langlaufskischuh den Vorteil, daß durch die Anordnung der Verschnürungseinrichtung auch am Außenschaft das Verschließen des Schuhes erleichert wird und die Masche oder der Knoten außerhalb des Außenschaftes zu liegen kommt.This object is achieved by the measures of the characterizing part of claim 1. Characterized in that the lacing device of the inner shaft also preferably holds the outer shaft in its ankle joint flexion zone, tensile forces are absorbed by the lacing device in this highly stressed area of the outer shaft. As a result, the cover flap does not have to absorb any forces and can therefore be designed simply and inexpensively, but a secure closure is nevertheless ensured even with prolonged use. Furthermore, the cross-country ski boot according to the invention has the advantage that the arrangement of the lacing device on the outer shaft also makes it easier to close the boot and the stitch or knot comes to lie outside the outer shaft.

Es ist weiters bei einem auf dem Markt befindlichen Langlaufschuh bekannt, die Abdecklasche mit einer länglichen Öse zu versehen, wobei ein am Schuhschaft in dessen oberen Bereich festgenähtes Halteband mit seinem freien Ende durch die Öse geführt und das freie Ende sodann am Außenschaft festgehalten wird. Dadurch wird zwar ein guter Verschluß des Langlaufskischuhes auch im oberen Randbereich des Außenschaftes und ein sicheres Halten der Abdecklasche in diesem Bereich gewährleistet, die bekannte Lösung ist aber arbeitsaufwendig und somit teuer.It is also known for a cross-country ski boot on the market to provide the cover flap with an elongated eyelet, a retaining band sewn onto the upper of the shoe upper being guided with its free end through the eyelet and the free end then being held on the outer shaft. This ensures a good closure of the cross-country ski boot even in the upper edge region of the outer shaft and a secure holding of the cover flap in this area, but the known solution is labor-intensive and therefore expensive.

Die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 7 gewährleisten einen guten Verschluß des obersten Außenschaftbereiches und führen gleich zeitig dazu, daß die Abdecklasche auch in diesem Bereich keine Haltekräfte aufnehmen muß.The characteristic features of claim 7 ensure a good closure of the uppermost outer shaft area and lead the same timely that the cover flap does not have to absorb any holding forces in this area either.

Im Anspruch 2 ist eine besonders einfache und kostengünstige Ausführungsform dargestellt.Claim 2 shows a particularly simple and inexpensive embodiment.

Durch die im Anspruch 3 gekennzeichnete Maßnahme wird die Verschnürung noch weiter verbessert.By the measure characterized in claim 3, the tying is further improved.

Die Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Sportschuhes nach dem Anspruch 4 gewährleistet eine hohe Dauerfestigkeit der Verschnürungseinrichtung.The design of the sports shoe according to the invention ensures a high fatigue strength of the lacing device.

Sind zum Schließen des Außenschaftes gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruches 5 biegsame Schnürlaschen vorgesehen, so wird das Verschnüren noch weiter erleichtert, da die Reibung des Schuhbandes im engen Schnürloch vermieden wird.If flexible laces are provided for closing the outer shaft according to the features of claim 5, the lacing is made even easier since the friction of the laces in the narrow lacing hole is avoided.

Dieser Vorteil ergibt sich auch bei der im Anspruch 6 genannten Lösung, wobei hier gleichzeitig die Schuhbänder besser gehalten werden.This advantage also results in the solution mentioned in claim 6, wherein here the laces are held better.

Die im Anspruch 8 enthaltene Maßnahme ist für das Halten der Abdecklasche in ihrer gesamten Länge günstig.The measure contained in claim 8 is favorable for holding the cover tab in its entire length.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung werden nun anhand der Zeichnung, die vier Ausführungsbeispiele darstellt, näher erläutert. Es zeigen: Fig. 1 ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Langlaufskischuhes in perspektivischer Ansicht, teilweise aufgerissen, Fig. 2 den Langlaufskischuh aus Fig. 1 in teilweise geschlossenem Zustand, Fig. 3 den Langlaufskischuh aus Fig. 1 in geschlossenem Zustand in einer Seitenansicht Fig. 4 ein Detail einer zweiten Ausführungsvariante, Fig. 5 eine dritte Ausführungsvariante des erfindungsgemäßen Langlaufskischuhes und Fig. 6 ein Detail einer vierten Ausführungsvariante.Further advantages and features of the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing, which shows four exemplary embodiments. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of the cross-country ski boot according to the invention in a perspective view, partially opened, FIG. 2 shows the cross-country ski boot from FIG. 1 in a partially closed state, FIG. 3 shows the cross-country ski boot from FIG. 1 in a closed state in a side view 4 a detail of a second embodiment variant, FIG. 5 a third embodiment variant of the cross-country ski boot according to the invention and FIG. 6 a detail of a fourth embodiment variant.

In der nachfolgenden Figurenbeschreibung sind gleichartige Teile verschiedener Ausfführungsformen mit gleichen Bezugsnummern versehen.In the following description of the figures, similar parts of different embodiments are provided with the same reference numbers.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Langlaufskischuh 1 gezeigt, der im wesentlichen aus einem Außenschaft 2, einem Innenschaft 3 und einer Sohle 4 besteht. Der Außenschaft 2 ist etwa knöchelhoch und kann mit Verstärkungsteilen versehen sein, die aber nicht den Gegenstand der Erfindung bilden und deshalb nicht näher beschrieben sind. Wie besonders in Fig. 2 erkennbar, weist der Außenschaft 2 eine schlitzförmige Einstiegsöffnung 5 auf. Neben der Einstiegsöffnung 5 sind am Außenschaft 2 Verschlußbereiche 6 mit einem Haftverschlußsystem, beispielsweise der Velcro-Bauart, versehen. Das Gegenstück zu diesem Haftverschlußsystem befindet sich an inneren Seitenbereichen 8 einer Abdecklasche 7. Die Abdecklasche 7 ist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel nur mit ihrem vorderen Endbereich 9 am Außenschaft 2 befestigt. Dadurch ist die schlitzförmige Einstiegsöffnung 5 gut zugänglich und der Langlaufskischuh 1 leicht und bequem anzuziehen.A cross-country ski boot 1 is shown in FIG. 1, which essentially consists of an outer shaft 2, an inner shaft 3 and a sole 4. The outer shaft 2 is approximately ankle-high and can be provided with reinforcing parts, which, however, do not form the subject of the invention and are therefore not described in more detail. As can be seen particularly in FIG. 2, the outer shaft 2 has a slot-shaped entry opening 5. In addition to the entry opening 5, closure areas 6 are provided on the outer shaft 2 with an adhesive closure system, for example of the Velcro type. The counterpart to this adhesive closure system is located on inner side regions 8 of a cover flap 7. In this embodiment, the cover flap 7 is only attached to the outer shaft 2 with its front end region 9. As a result, the slot-shaped entry opening 5 is easily accessible and the cross-country ski boot 1 can be put on easily and comfortably.

Die Sohle 4 ist in bekannter Weise aufgebaut und wird deshalb hier nicht näher beschrieben.The sole 4 is constructed in a known manner and is therefore not described in more detail here.

Der Innenschaft 3 erstreckt sich, wie in Fig. 1 erkennbar, im wesentlichen im Bereich des Vorderfußes und des Spannes. Er könnte aber auch länger, beispielsweise in Form eines kompletten niedrigen Innenschuhes, ausgebildet sein. Am Innenschaft 3 sind für eine Verschnürungseinrichtung 10 Schnürränder 11 mit Schnürlaschen 12 für ein Schuhband 13 vorgesehen. Der Innenschaft 3 ist vorzugsweise aus einem schmiegsamen aber festen Material hergestellt, um einen optimalen Halt des Fußes im Skischuh zu gewährleisten. Innerhalb des Innenschaftes 3 ist eine gepolsterte Zunge 16 angebracht. Die genaue Ausgestaltung von Futter, Brandsohle, Einlagesohle usw. ist für sich bekannt und bildet nicht den Gegenstand der Erfindung. Daher wird hier auf eine Beschreibung dieser Details verzichtet.The inner shaft 3 extends, as can be seen in FIG. 1, essentially in the area of the forefoot and the instep. However, it could also be longer, for example in the form of a completely low inner liner. On the inner shaft 3 10 lace edges 11 with lace tabs 12 for a shoe strap 13 are provided for a tying device. The inner shaft 3 is preferably made of a flexible but firm material in order to ensure an optimal hold of the foot in the ski boot. A padded tongue 16 is attached within the inner shaft 3. The exact design of the lining, insole, insole, etc. is known per se and does not form the subject of the invention. A description of these details is therefore omitted here.

Wie in den Fig. 1 und 2 erkennbar, ist im Außenschaft 2 in dessen Knöchelgelenksbeugezone 14 beidseitig der Einstiegsöffnung 5 je ein Schnürloch 15 vorgesehen. Durch diese beiden Schnürlöcher 15 wird das Schuhband 13 der Verschnüreinrichtung 10 des Innenschaftes 3 geführt. Wie in Fig. 2 erkennbar, ist es dadurch möglich, den Außenschaft 2 in der Knöchelgelenksbeugezone 14 durch das Schuhband 13 zusammenzuhalten. In Fig. 2 ist ebenfalls erkennbar, daß das Schuhband 13 außerhalb des Außenschaftes 2 gebunden wird, wodurch Druckstellen vermieden werden können.As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, a lacing hole 15 is provided in the outer shaft 2 in the ankle joint bending zone 14 on both sides of the entry opening 5. The shoelace 13 of the tying device 10 of the inner shaft 3 is guided through these two lacing holes 15. As can be seen in FIG. 2, it is thereby possible to hold the outer shaft 2 together in the ankle joint bending zone 14 by means of the shoe strap 13. In Fig. 2 it can also be seen that the shoe strap 13 is tied outside the outer shaft 2, whereby pressure points can be avoided.

Am einem oberen Randbereich 17 des Außenschaftes 2 ist eine bandförmige Haltelasche 18 mit ihrem ersten Endbereich 19 befestigt, im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel festgenäht. Die bandförmige Haltelasche 18 erstreckt sich bei geschlossenem Schuh quer über einen Teilbereich der Einstiegsöffnung 5 und ist mit ihrem zweiten Endbereich 20 durch einen Haftverschluß der Velcro-Bauart am Außenschaft 2 gehalten, wodurch dieser in seiner geschlossenen Lage zusammengehalten wird. Seitenbereiche 21 der bandförmigen Haltelasche 18 sind ebenfalls mit einem derartigen Haftverschluß versehen, an welchem die Abdecklasche 7 bei geschlossenem Schuh festgehalten ist.At an upper edge region 17 of the outer shaft 2, a band-shaped retaining tab 18 is fastened with its first end region 19, sewn tight in the present exemplary embodiment. When the shoe is closed, the band-shaped retaining tab 18 extends across a partial area of the entry opening 5 and is held at its second end area 20 by an Velcro-type adhesive fastener on the outer shaft 2, thereby holding it together in its closed position. Side areas 21 of the band-shaped retaining tab 18 are also provided with an adhesive closure of this type, to which the cover tab 7 is held when the shoe is closed.

In Fig. 4 ist ein Detail einer zweiten Ausführungsvariante des erfindungsgemäßen Langlaufskischuhes 1 näher dargestellt. Statt eines Schnürloches im Außenschaft 2 ist hier am Rand der Einstiegsöffnung 5 je eine Schnürlasche 22 befestigt. Durch die Schnürlaschen 22 ist das Schuhband 13 geführt und kann, wie im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben, außerhalb des Außenschaftes 2 gebunden werden. Nach einer nicht gesondert dargestellten Ausführungsvariante können die Schnürlaschen auch im Abstand von der Einstiegsöffnung am Außenschaft angebracht sein. Im übrigen ist der Langlaufskischuh genauso wie der zuerst beschriebene ausgestaltet und wird daher nicht nocheinmal beschrieben.4 shows a detail of a second embodiment variant of the cross-country ski boot 1 according to the invention. Instead of a lace hole in the outer shaft 2, a lace tab 22 is attached to the edge of the entry opening 5. The shoelace 13 is guided through the laces 22 and, as described in the first exemplary embodiment, can be tied outside the outer shaft 2. According to a variant not shown separately, the lace-up tabs can also be attached to the outer shaft at a distance from the entry opening. Otherwise, the cross-country ski boot is designed exactly like the one described first and is therefore not described again.

In Fig. 5 ist eine weitere Ausführungsvariante des erfindungsgemäßen Langlaufskischuhes 1 erkennbar. Dabei sind hier in der Knöchelgelenksbeugezone 14 beidseitig der Einstiegsöffnung 5 je drei, vorzugsweise versetzt angeordnete, Schnürlöcher 15 vorgesehen, durch die das Schuhband 13 wie oben beschrieben geführt wird. Der Bereich, in welchem die Schnürlöcher 15 angeordnet sind, kann dabei, wie dargestellt, mit Verstärkungsteilen 23, beispielsweise aus Leder oder Kunststoff, versehen sein.5 shows a further embodiment variant of the cross-country ski boot 1 according to the invention. In this case, three, preferably staggered, lacing holes 15 are provided in the ankle joint bending zone 14 on both sides of the entry opening 5, through which the shoe strap 13 is guided as described above. The area in which the laced holes 15 are arranged can, as shown, be provided with reinforcing parts 23, for example made of leather or plastic.

Die Fig. 6 stellt eine Variante der in Fig. 4 gezeigten Ausführungsform dar. Dabei sind hier am Rand der Einstiegsöffnung 5 je zwei Schnürlaschen 22 für das Schuhband 13 befestigt.FIG. 6 shows a variant of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4. In this case, two laces 22 for the shoe strap 13 are fastened to the edge of the entry opening 5.

Selbstverständlich ist die Erfindung nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsbiespiele beschränkt. Vielmehr sind zahlreiche Abwandlungen derselben möglich, welche den Rahmen der Erfindung nicht verlassen. So ist es beispielsweise möglich, den Innenschaft anders als in der dargestellten Weise zu gestalten, er kann z.B. mehrteilig ausgebildet sein. Auch könnte die Abdecklasche statt im vorderen Bereich teilweise an einer Seite festgenäht sein. Selbstverständlich bietet sich die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Verschnürung und des Verschlusses nicht nur für Langlaufskischuhe an, sondern für alle Schuhe für Sportarten, bei denen der Fuß im Knöchelgelenk häufig abgebogen wird.Of course, the invention is not limited to the illustrated exemplary games. Rather, numerous modifications thereof are possible, which do not go beyond the scope of the invention. For example, it is possible to design the inner shaft differently than in the manner shown, it can e.g. be formed in several parts. The cover flap could also be partially sewn on one side instead of in the front area. Of course, the design of the lacing and closure according to the invention is not only suitable for cross-country ski boots, but for all shoes for sports in which the foot is often bent in the ankle joint.
