Definitions

  • the groove for receiving the cable of the ski binding is designed so that at the center of the rear end of the heel the lower edge of this groove is located considerably below the extension of the upper edge of the outer sole, that is, below the point where the upper edge of a normal outer sole would be located. From this point the groove slopes at an angle downwardly toward the bottom of the sole.
  • the invention provides that the heel part of the outer sole be molded so that, at the center of the rear end of the heel, the lower edge of the groovelike recess is located substantially at the same llevel as,
  • this lower edge of the -groovelike recess which forms the support of the part of the ski binding which is applied upon the heel is substantially flat at least at the apex of the heel, and that from this apex it extends at first toward both sides in a substantially horizontal or ⁇ only slightly downwardly curved direction and thereafter it slopes downwardly to the bottom of the sole at a steeper angle.
  • the rear end of the heel portion is therefore no longer interrupted by the Igroove but forms a solid piece. This feat-ure together with the fact that the lower edge of the [groove-like recess is located at the apex of the heel at least at the same level where the upper edge of a normal heel would be located permits the same ski boot to be worn safely with many different types of skibindings including cableless bindings and bindings with tension cables.
  • the present invention is primarily concerned with a ski boot having an upper, an outer sole permanently attached to the upper and having a heel portion, and a projection defining a bead permanently attached to the upper at the heel portion of the sole and extending up.- wardly along the outside of the upper.
  • the projection begins in the vicinity of the apex of the heel portion at a point approximately at the level of the upper edge of the sole, which edge extends to the heel portion.
  • the heel portion has a surface for receiving the part of a ski binding which engages the heel portion, which. surface is disposed between the sole and the projection and extends substantially horizontally in the region of the apex ⁇ of the heel portion.
  • FIGURE 1 shows Va side view of a ski boot according to the invention
  • FIGURE 2 shows a rear view of the lower part of the ski boot according to FIGURE l.
  • the ski boot has an upper 4 on which the outer sole 1 of rubber or plastic is cast in a conventional manner.
  • the outer sole 1 is provided with a reinforcing 4bead 2 which extends around the entire'boot between the upper edge of the Iactual sole and the adjacent parts of the upper to which it is secured, for example, by being vulcanized thereon.
  • this reinforcing bead projects upwardly so as to form a heel cover which envelops the heel part of the upper and not only protects this part from being chafed by the tension strap or tension cable of the ski binding but also secures the heel ⁇ part of the sole so firmly -to the upper that it cannot possibly be torn ofi the upper.
  • the heel part of the outer sole is provided with a groovelike recess 3, the lower edge 3' of which extends from the apex S of the heel for a certain distance toward both sides in a substantially horizontal direction, as shown particularly in FIGURE 2, and it then slopes downwardly at an angle toward the bottom of the sole.
  • this horizontal part of the lower edge 3' of the recess 3 at both sides of the apex S of the heel has preferably a substantially flat surface which is located at a height from the bottom of the sole which is approximately equal to or even higher than the height of the rupper edge 1 of a normal sole without a beaded projection.
  • a ski boot having an upper with an outer sole molded thereon and a beaded projection extending upwardly from said sole at the rear part thereof and secured to and enveloping the heel part of said upper so as to form a protective cover therefor, and to secure the sole more firmly to the upper
  • said sole having a groovelike recess extending substantially ⁇ from the base of said projection at the apex of the heel for a certain distance in a substantially horizontal direction toward both sides and then sloping downwardly at an angle toward the bottom of the sole, the lower edge of said recess being substantially fiat and adapted to support a tension cable or the like of a ski binding and having a height from the bottom of the sole at the apex of the heel at least equal to the height of a normal heel Without said beaded projection, the uninterrupted heel part underneath said edge being adapted to form a solid support for the heel connecting means of a ski binding of a different type.
  • a ski boot comprising: an upper; an outer sole permanently attached to said upper and having a heel portion; and a projection deiining a bead permanently attached to said upper at said heel portion of said sole and extending upwardly along the outside of said upper; wherein said projection begins in the vicinity of the apex of said heel portion at a point approximately at the level of the upper edge of said sole, which edge extends around said heel portion, and said heel portion has a surface for receiving the part of a ski binding which engages said heel portion, which surface, in the region of said 4 apex of said heel portion, is disposed substantially at the level of said upper'edgeof said sole and extends sub-v stantially horizontally.
