Abstract:
The invention refers to a ski boot sole (12) and a ski binding (30). The sole consists of a toe part (TP), a metatarsal part (MP) next to the toe part (TP), a rear part (RP) extending from the metatarsal part (MP) to the rear end (R) of the ski boot sole (12) and a front part (FP) extending from the toe part (TP) to the front part (F) of the ski boot sole (12). The front part (FP) consists of a ski binding attachment (20) consisting of an extension (15) which is locked into a slot (32) to ensure that forces are absorbed in the binding. The binding (30) consists of a base plate (31), a positioning channel (22), a slot (32) in the ski binding's side walls and it has a friction pattern (29) and (16) where at least two side walls (33) are located on each side of the binding's (30) longitudinal centre axis (1). A locking mechanism (35) is attached to the base plate (31). A ski boot attachment (40) consists of a clamping bar (27) and a clamping arm (41) with a hinged connection to the base plate (31). Clamping arm (41) which is hinged in base plate (31) has a point of rotation located immediately above the base plate. In this point of rotation the lever arm (26) is located which is connected to a point of rotation in locking plate (25). Locking plate (25) in turn is attached to a point of rotation on the base plate (31). On closing the binding (30), locking plate (25) will transmit force via the lever arm principle and clamp clamping arm (41) down against the extension (15).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an article of footwear which consists of a forward portion and a rear portion which are articulated to one another about an axis that is almost coincident with the metatarsophangeal joint in the hallux when the foot is located in the article of footwear, a binding assembly for releasable attchment of the article of footwear, in particular a ski boot, to asports device, in particular a ski, under the toe portion of the article of footwear about an essentially horizontal axis almost perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the article of footwear which, after fastening, permits a rotational movement about the axis where none of the elements in the unit have faces which rotate directly in contact with elements in the article of footwear, and an article of footwear-binding assembly combination which comprises an article of footwear and a binding assembly.
Abstract:
The invention refers to the cross-country skiing shoe with a gaiter that provides lateral support to one's ankle and allows the ankle to move in the forwards/backwards direction; with reference to the longitudinal axis of the shoe, the rotational axis of this gaiter is shifted outwards.The external hinge (4), connecting the gaiter (1) with the counter (2) is shifted backwards and the internal hinge (3) of the gaiter (1) is shifted forwards in the way that the rotational axis (5) of the gaiter (1) is not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (6) of the cross-country skiing shoe.
Abstract:
The invention involves the sole-gripping safety binding including the shoe with adjustable lateral inclination for cross-country skiing.The sole-gripping safety binding including the shoe with adjustable lateral inclination for cross-country skiing allows for shifting of the shoe (5) gripping point from the tip towards the centre of the sole (4) of the shoe (5), whereby the sole (4) is lifted above the ski (2). The shoe (5) is provided on its sole (4) with a conical gripping element (3) including the axle (10) that is shifted towards the centre of the sole (4); the latter is provided with a distance piece (22) under the heel part of the sole (4) and with a flexor (23) under the toe part of the sole. The axle (10) makes a grip with the base (6) of the binding (1), while the part (9) of the base (6) is connected with the tightening element (7) of the binding (1).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a sports shoe, especially for downhill skiing, ski-touring, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, roller-skating or ice-skating. The inventive shoe essentially comprises a rigid underframe (11), which is located below the ankle of the wearer, two connecting links (30, 31) between the underframe and the leg of the wearer, and two casings (14, 15), which are arranged in such a way that they can firmly link the leg of the wearer to the connecting links. The underframe (11) comprises a front housing (18) and a rear housing (19). Said housings are arranged in such a way that they can receive a soft inner boot (12). The underframe (11) also comprises shoulders (17, 17'), which enable the shoe (10) to be fixed in a conventional binding. The inner boot (12) is able to move inside the underframe. These movements can be a vertical movement of the heel and/or be made about a longitudinal axis in relation to the foot of the wearer, in such a way that the leg of the wearer can move naturally during the sporting activity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the combination of a ski boot (1) and a ball-of-the-foot binding (9), wherein the essentially inflexible sole (5) of said ski boot constitutes an angle (6) of at least 30 DEG at the ball of the foot and an attachment point (2) for a connecting shaft (3) is situated below the ball of the foot. The binding (9) includes adjustable elastic means (7) which via supporting surfaces (4) at the underside of the sole provide the possibility to select the angle (8) between the ski and the boot to be at least 0 to 30 DEG when the ski is raised free of the track.
Abstract:
The invention relates to anti-static sports equipment (3) comprising a main part (52) and, mounted on the main part (52), a base element (53) composed of a running surface covering (17) and lateral edges (15). At least one of the lateral edges (15) forms a contact surface (14) that can be turned towards the ground. Between a back surface (66) of the running surface covering (17) and the main part (52) there is, in at least some parts, a contact element (67) made of an electrically conductive material. The running surface covering (17) is electrically connected to the contact element (67) via a discharge path, and the contact element (67) is electrically connected to the contact surface (14) formed by the at least one lateral edge (15). The invention also relates to a sports system having an anti-static function and to a sports clothing system for a sports system of said type.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a ski boot (1) with an element (2) in shell form, which at least partially consists of a plastics compound material, wherein the compound material comprises a mixture of caprolactam polyamide and ionomers, and to a method for the production thereof, such that cations and anions of the ionomers form ion bonds, wherein elastic components of the compound material form a physical network that is soluble between 60°C and 100°C, and so the element (2) in shell form of the ski boot (1) that at least partially consists of the compound material can undergo thermoforming below 100°C.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a shoe (1) for practicing sports involving gliding over the snow, or for walking, which is characterized in that it includes an outer shell (2, 2', 20, 26, 26', 34, 42) made of a rigid material, the shell (2, 2', 20, 26, 26', 34, 42) including a rear cradle (22, 28, 28', 39, 44) provided to receiver the heel of the user, the rear cradle (22, 28, 28', 39, 44) being extended toward the front by a blade-shaped portion (6) that defines a bending area, the rear cradle (22, 28, 28', 39, 44) comprising a peripheral wall (5, 31) and a bottom, the bottom of the cradle and the blade-shaped portion partially defining the bottom assembly of the shoe, and characterized in that it includes an inner liner (20).
