An exoskeleton (E) for connecting footwear to sporting equipment. The exoskeleton has an underfoot base (7), an ankle cuff (3) connected to a heel portion of the underfoot base, a first restraining brace (2a) having an anterior end connected to the medial side of a forefoot portion of the underfoot base (7), and extending rearwardly and diagonally at least to the lateral side of the ankle cuff, and a second restraining brace (2b) having an anterior end connected to the lateral side of the forefoot portion of the underfoot base (7), and extending rearwardly and diagonally at least to the medial side of the ankle cuff. The first and second restraining braces (2a, 2b) are configured such that when an item of footwear is enclosed by the exoskeleton (E), the restraining braces extend over and support a portion of the item of footwear.
摘要:
A molded or plastic composite snowshoe is formed of two assembled sections, in a way that imparts flexibility to the snowshoe, allowing some degree of torsional twisting or warping flexibility so that the snowshoe adapts to uneven terrain. In a principal embodiment the molded snowshoe is divided into forward and aft sections along a line slightly behind the nose area and near the pivot axis in the case of a pitch-pivoting binding. Joints between sections are in narrow rims at left and right, at opposed sides of a large central opening for the crampon/binding and boot. The joints are designed to securely hold the forward and aft molded sections together but to allow a degree of torsion between them when needed. Steel structural traction rails extend across the joints but are constructed and secured to the snowshoe sections in a manner that preserves the desired flexibility.

An ice crampon for mountain climbing comprising a reinforcement 12B with a metal reinforcement, fitted with anchoring teeth 14, and a fastening device 30 comprising a lateral operating lever 32 forming a toggle joint for locking or unlocking the heel of the shoe along the pivoting direction of the operating lever 32.
摘要:
A sports boot, particularly for ice climbing. The boot has an upper, a rigid sole directly fixed to the upper, and climbing crampons directly fixed to the rigid sole. The rigid sole can be made of a composite material or metal. It is provided with threaded inserts capable of receiving screws for fixing the crampons.
摘要:
A quick-lock-quick-release device for attaching a boot to a foot plate which doubles as an ice crampon or mounting plate for an alloy snowshoe is provided. The lock-release foot plate design is such that it can readily be adjusted for any size of boot by simply moving the lock-release lever on the foot plate. This design also lends itself to the use of the Arctic vapor barrier boots used by the military. In addition, three crampon designs are included as well as a quick release mechanism for attachment/detachment of the foot plate to/from the snowshoe without the necessity of tools. An articulated foot plate for use with an alloy snowshoe for running in snow is also shown. The articulated foot plate consists of two pieces, a toe portion and a heel portion, which are hinged together around the pivot pin to allow for flexing of the sole of the wearer's shoe during running.
摘要:
A footwear element that includes an outer sole assembly and a flexible upper, as well as spikes projecting in the area of an outer surface of the outer sole assembly, the flexible upper including a lower portion adapted to cover the foot of a user, the flexible upper having a shoe insertion opening. The upper includes an upper portion extending the lower portion in a direction away from the outer sole assembly, the upper portion being provided to cover at least the ankle of the user, or the ankle and a portion of the lower leg.
摘要:
An ice crampon comprises a metal body composed of a head and a heel connected by flexible connecting means formed by at least one flexible cord after passing through length adjustment notches. These notches form part of a notching system securedly attached to the body of the crampon, so that the longitudinal adjustment of the cord is adapted to the shoe size, independently from the fixing means of the crampon.
摘要:
A snow climbing plate is disclosed including heel and toe binding receivers. Heel and toe bindings for a crampon positioned beneath the plate extend through the receiver and secure to a boot. An instep portion of the plate is captured between the heel and toe bindings. The plate extends laterally beyond the crampon and may extend one or both of rearwardly and forwardly beyond the crampon. The receivers may be embodied as an aperture in the plate or a notch extending inward from an end of the plate. Apertures may be provided to admit tabs for engaging a heel of the boot secured to the crampon.
