Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for adjusting the fit, in particular of a ski boot.
  • ski boots formed from a plastic material include a mostly rigid shell, wherein it is impossible to tailor the inside conformation to fit the varying skier's foot morphology.
  • a device for adjusting the fit of a ski boot of the type defined in the pre-characterizing clause of claim 1.
  • the adjustable means for urging the pressure element against the foot comprises component parts particularly in the band element, projecting transverse to the surface of the shell of the boot.
  • the task of the invention is to solve the problem involved in the removal of the above drawbacks.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a device as indicated, which can allow a highly accurate adjustment while leaving the user free to select the magnitude of the locking action to be applied in accordance with his/her own contingent requirements.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a device which can be readily installed, comprises a reduced number of components, and has a reasonably low cost.
  • the device for adjusting the fit, in particular for ski boots comprises, located inside the shell of a boot, a band element 1 which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the shell and is placed within the shell above the boot inner shoe, generally indicated at 2.
  • the cited band element carries a pressure element 3, which is located at the toe end and neck region of the skier's foot.
  • the band element 1 is fastened, with one end, to one side of the shell, whilst its other end is engaged with actuating means carried on said shell, on the opposite side thereof, and made accessible from the shell outside.
  • the cited actuating means advantageously comprise a Maltese cross element 10 rotatably supported on the shell and having, externally to the shell, an operating knob 11.
  • the band element 1 is provided, at its end in engagement with the Maltese cross element with a small plate 12 with shaped seats 13, wherein actuating pegs 15 and check pegs 16 provided on the Maltese cross element will engage.
  • the plate is in practice made slidable in a seat defined on the interior of the boot by a small wall 18.
  • the actuating means comprises here a worm screw 20 having a turning knob 21 which protrudes out of the shell, which knob engages, by a threaded portion thereof, a plurality of canted slots 22 provided at the end of the band element 1. Also in this instance, in order to maintain a stable connection between the worm screw 20 and band element 1, said band element is made slidable through a sleeve element 25 at the canted slots 22.
  • the invention achieves its objects, and in particular that the expedients proposed enable the user to adjust at will the boot fit, by simply rotating the knobs arranged on the shell exterior, while retaining the faculty of performing an extremely fine and accurate adjustment.
  • the materials used if compatible with the specific application intended, as well as the dimensions and contingent shapes, may be any selected ones depending on individual requirements.
