Definitions

  • a shoe closure particularly for ski-boots having a recessed clamping lever pivotally mounted on a bearing fixed to a shoe closure lap, a pressure distributing plate extending from the bearing to the edge of the closure lap and a resilient connecting member between the bearing and the pressure distributing plate.
  • a support is secured to the other shoe closure lap and may be selectively connected with the recesses of the clamping lever.
  • the present invention relates to a shoe closure, particularly for ski boots, which includes a clamping lever swingably mounted in a bearing and disposed on one closing lap of the boot and a support disposed on the other closing lap of the boot, which support can be interlocked in recesses of the clamping lever for closing of the shoe closure.
  • the arrangement, according to the present invention of a shoe closure of the type set forth above provides, due to the arrangement of the pressure distributing plate, a transmission of the forces on a larger face, whereby simultaneously the forces occurring in certain position of the closing parts, are effectively reduced by the resilient connection between the bearing of the clamping lever and the pressure distributing plate.
  • the flexibility of the closing laps is hardly interfered with by the parts of the closure provided thereon, since the connection between the bearing of the clamping lever and the pressure distributing plate permits a relative swinging movement and both parts are secured only on the ends pointing away from each other on the closing laps.
  • ski-boots can fit loosely on the foot during climbing, during standing etc., in order not to interfere with the blood circulation, While during a downward run the skiboot must engage the foot very closely.
  • a corresponding variation of the fit of the boot can be brought about by hooking-in the support in different recesses of the clamping lever of the closure. In case of iced closures and in case of partly numb fingers due to the influence of the cold, the hooking-in of the support in a recess, nevertheless, can be performed, which does not warrant the optimum fit of the boot.
  • This arrangement of the closure designed in accordance with the present invention, has the characteristic that the support is swingably secured on the particular closure lap by means of a bearing, which is equipped with longitudinal slots, in which the portion of the support defining the swinging axis of the support, is displaceably mounted in longitudinal direction of the clamping lever, on which bearing a flap is disposed, which is equipped with at least one projection, arranged cross-wise at about the center of the longitudinal slots, in the closed position of the'flap, in which the latter engages the bearing foot of the hearing, which projection divides the range of displaceability of the support.
  • FIGURE 1 is a sectional elevation of the shoe closure in its closed position, the clamping lever being shown in closing position;
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the shoe closure shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is an elevation of the shoe closure indicating the clamping lever in open position
  • FIG. 4 is an elevation of another embodiment of the shoe closure indicating the clamping lever with its bearing and pressure dividing plate
  • FIG. is a top plan view of the pressure dividing plate.
  • FIG. 6 is a top plan view of the clamping lever bearing, disclosed in FIG. 1.
  • the shoe closure designed in accordance with the present invention, comprises a clamping lever 1, which is mounted by means of an axle 2 on a clamping lever bearing 3.
  • the bearing 3 is secured to the closure lap 5 of the shoe by means of a member 4.
  • a support 7 is disposed at another closure lap 6, which support 7 can be hooked in recesses 8 of the clamping lever 1 for closing of the closure.
  • the securing positions of the bearing 3 are disposed on the side of the bearing 3 which is pointing away from the edge 5a of the closure lap 5.
  • the side of the bearing 3 which is pointing toward the edge 5a is in resilient and swingable connection with a pressure distributing plate 9.
  • the latter is rigidly secured to the closure lap 5 by securing means 10 at its end 9a disposed adjacent the edge 5a of the closure lap.
  • the pressure distributing plate 9 has at both of its longitudinal sides bent-up laps or tabs 11, the ends 12 of which are bent over toward each other.
  • One end 3a of the bearing 3 . is disposed in the thus-created gripping means, whereby a small r bber block 13 operating as a spring means, is inserted between the bearing 3 and the pressure distributing plate 9.
  • the spring can also be designed in a different manner, for instance, as a spring blade 14, as indicated in FIG. 4.
  • an upwardly bent nose 3b is arranged on the bearing 3.
  • the clamping lever bearing 3 Due to the movable and resilient connection of the clamping lever bearing 3, from which the strong pressure originate at the time of tipping and in tensioned position with the plate 9, the latter adjusts itself during closing of the clamping lever 1 or in closed lever position into a position direction as required by the foot, so that the center pressure of the clamping lever bearing 3 is assumed by the plate 9 by means of the pressure damping rubber or steel-resiliency and is distributed over its entire surface and, thereby, the painful pressure point, which is painful for the foot, is removed.
  • the pressure distributing plate 9 can be made selectively of rigid or resilient material.
  • the clamping lever 1 is secured to the bearing 3 such, that it has a swinging range of about 180. In its closed position, a non-desirable opening of the clamping lever 1 is not possible in view of the chosen position of the axle 2.
  • the latter is swingably secured to the closure lap 6 by means of a bearing 15, whereby the support part 711 defining the swinging axle of the support 7 is displaceably mounted in longitudinal slots 16.
  • the longitudinal slots 16 are disposed in laps a of the bearing 15.
  • a flap 18 is swingably mounted between the laps 15:: on an axle 17.
  • the flap 18 is equipped with two projections 18a, which, in the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawing, which is the closed position of the flap 18, in which the latter engages the foot 15b of the bearing 15, divide the range of displaceability of the support 7 in the longitudinal slots 16.
  • a spring (not shown) can be provided for a safe retaining of the flap 18 in the closed position.
  • the support 7 is positioned at the right portion of the longitudinal slots 16, a simple moving of the latter towards the left permits a lifting of the flap 18, due to the inclined position of the projections 18a, and the part 7a of the support 7 can enter the left portion of the longitudinal slots 16, whereupon the flap 18 closes again and secures then the support part 7a in this position.
  • the length of the longitudinal slots 16 according to about half of the distance of the recesses 8 in the clamping lever 1, a suitably fine adjustment of the closure is made possible.
  • the recesses 8 provided in the clamping lever 1 have two oppositely disposed notchings 8a and 8b, seen in the longitudinal direction of the clamping lever 1.
  • the notchings 8a make possible an engagement of the support 7 in the closed closure position, that is, in the position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the notchings 8b are provided for the purpose to assure a retaining of the support 7 in the recesses 8 in that position of the closure, which is shown in FIG. 3 and, thereby, to assure still a connection between the closure laps 5 and 6.
  • a shoe closure particularly for ski-boots, and skiboots having a first closure lap, and a second closure lap, the shoe closure comprising a bearing
  • said bearing of said clamping lever being connected with said first closure lap merely on the side of the latter away from the edge of said first closure lap
  • resilient connecting means permitting a relative swinging movement about a geometrical axis disposed parallel to the swinging axis of said clamping lever, in a direction perpendicular to the face of said first closure lap, on the side of said first closure lap pointing to the edge of said first closure lap and connecting said bearing with said pressure distributing plate.
  • a resilient member is disposed between said bearing and said pressure distributing plate.
  • each of said recesses of said clamping lever have two notchings disposed oppositely each other in longitudinal direction of said clamping lever, so that said recesses and swingably mountd said bearing secured to said 5 6 support rests in one end position of said clamping 9.
