In addition, they can be used as a holder by matching with the shell or accessories or specially designed for the boots. Ski boots for snowboarding or skiing.

Background technique

Snowboarding, also known as snowboarding, originated in the United States in the mid-1960s, and its production was related to surfing. Sherman Popan tied two snowboards together in 1965, and accidentally created a new "snowboard" with two feet on a whole board. Snowboarding is also called winter surfing, used by snowboarders. A snowboard instead of a pair of snowboards, use the body and feet to control the direction.

As shown in Figure 1, the snowboard is fixed with two anchors at intervals, and the skier stands sideways on the snowboard and buckles the ski boots on the anchors, and controls the movement of the snowboard by tilting the body forward and backward. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, two holders are installed on the snowboard 1 and include a strap 5 and a high back 6. The strap 5 can be tightened on the upper of the snowboard boot 2, and the high back 6 The back of the snowboard boot 2 is supported, thereby fixing the snowboard boot on the snowboard.

Existing snowboard boots mostly use soft boots, although such soft boots are relatively lighter and softer than ski boots. However, due to the need to control the snowboard, they are still hard and bulky ski boots that are only suitable for snowboarding. It is certainly inconvenient to wear this kind of snowboard boots for daily life, leisure walking, driving, etc. Therefore, you still need to put on ordinary life shoes when you go skiing, and then put on special ski boots before you can ski. In addition, the current snowboard boots mostly use the two ends of the shoelace to pass through the shoelace hole repeatedly to tighten. The shoelace such as the slipknot often requires the skier's hands to operate the ski shoe. It is also inconvenient for skiers who carry other items or wear heavy ski gloves.

Furthermore, due to the inherent properties of the ice and snow sports such as skiing, skiers usually walk on icy and snowy roads. Therefore, there is a need for ski boots that can slip and, in particular, prevent ice slipping.

Each upper part includes a front part 1031 and a rear part 1032. It should be understood that this division of the upper part is only For the convenience of description, the front upper part 1031 is the part of the upper part that roughly covers the foot, and the rear upper part 1032 is the upper part covering the part of the calf upward from the ankle. The tongue 104 is disposed between the outer upper part 103M and the inner upper part 103L and inside the upper part, thereby overlapping the front upper part 1031 and the rear upper part 1032.

The opposite part of the inner upper part and the outer upper part constitutes a shoelace area. In the shoelace area, a plurality of shoelace hooks 106 and 107 are fixed on the upper part, and the shoelace 105 bypasses these

hooks

106 and 107 to fasten the boot 1.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 3, in the shoelace area of the front upper part 1031, a plurality of (two in the figure) first shoelace hooks 106 are fixed, and the first first shoelace hook 106 of the outer front part 1031M is fixed. A lace hook 106 is aligned with the initial first lace hook 106 of the inner front upper portion 1031L, but the second first lace hook 106 of the outer front upper portion 1031M is aligned with the second first lace hook 106 of the inner front portion 1031L The first shoelace hook 106 is staggered. In the rear part, the second lace hook 107 in the outer rear part 1032M and the second lace hook 107 in the inner rear part 1032L are staggered from each other, and are also opposite to the last first shoe of the opposite front part. The belt hooks are staggered.

The first shoelace hook 106 fixed on the front upper part has a U-shaped cross section (cross-section taken perpendicular to the surface of the front upper part), the shoelace 105 is hung in the U-shaped groove, and the U-shaped groove bottom is formed The arc-shaped profile facilitates the two-way sliding of the shoelace. The second shoelace hook 107 fixed on the rear upper part similarly has a U-shaped cross section (cross-section taken perpendicular to the surface of the rear upper part), and the shoelace 105 is hung in the U-shaped groove. The groove bottom or the two opposite inner sides are formed with inverted triangular protrusions or barbs (not shown), so that the shoelace 105 can only be pulled in the tightening direction, while preventing the shoelace 105 from moving in the opposite direction slide.

As shown in FIG. 5, the shoelace 105 starts from the first shoelace hook 106 at the beginning of the inner front upper part 1031L or the outer front upper part 1031M, alternately bypasses the shoelace hooks of the opposite upper part, and in the shoelace 105 An engaging device such as Velcro 108 (Velcro) is fixed at the end, and a matching buckle tape (engaging element, not shown) is fixed near the position of the upper part near the shoe mouth. The buckle at the end of the shoelace The strap 108 can be glued to the mating buckle strap, thereby fixing the end of the shoelace. However, other forms of Velcro or hooks can also be used, and the present invention is not limited to Velcro. The starting end of the shoelace 105 extends upward from the first shoelace hook 106 starting from the shoelace 105, and is fixed to the last first shoelace hook 106 of the inner front upper part 1031L and the last first shoelace hook 106 of the outer front upper part 1031M. A fixing part 109 is formed on a part of the shoelace extending between the shoelace hooks 106. The fixing portion 109 can be formed in various ways, for example, a knot in the shoelace, or a metal lock ring is used to press the starting end of the shoelace onto the shoelace part. By fixing the starting end of the shoelace 105 at the fixing part 109, when the shoelace is tightened, the starting end of the shoelace is fixed at the fixing part 109, so that it is pulled on the front part from two directions at the same time. The shoelace is helpful to fasten the front upper part. In addition, the fixing part 109 can only move between the second shoelace hook 106 of the inner front upper part 1031L and the outer front upper part 1031M, and cannot cross the shoelace hook 106, thereby limiting the distance that the shoelace 105 can be pulled. At the same time, when the shoelace 105 is loosened, the fixing portion 109 cannot cross the last first shoelace hook 106 of the front upper part on the other side, as shown in FIG. 6, so as to prevent the shoelace 105 from being loosened too much. Disengage from the shoelace hook. It should be understood that, although the fixing portion 109 is shown between the second shoelace hooks in FIG. 5, the fixing portion 109 may also be formed on other sections of the shoelace. Since the fixing portion 109 is formed, it is pulled When lacing the shoelace, the shoelace part of the front upper part can be simultaneously pulled from two directions, thereby facilitating the tightening of the shoelace of the front upper part.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the state shown in FIG. 6, the skier can easily insert the foot into the boot 1. At this time, due to the existence of the fixing portion 109, the shoelace will not be removed from the first shoelace. The hook 106 is disengaged but held on the shoelace hook 106. In this way, the skier can hang the shoelace on the second shoelace hook 107 with one hand and pull the shoelace 105, because the shoelace hook 107 has an inverted Triangular protrusions or barbs prevent the tightened shoelace 105 from loosening. You do not need to pull the shoelace all the time. Even if you loosen your hand temporarily, it will not cause the shoelace to loosen, so it can be very easy even with only one hand. It is easy to tighten the shoelace 105 to a predetermined level. At this time, the fixing portion 109 is moved to the second shoelace hook 106, and at this time, the shoelace 105 is prevented from being further tightened. At the same time, the skier can fix the shoelace 105 The buckle belt 108 at the end of the boot is glued to the buckle provided near the shoe opening on the back part, thereby fastening the boot 1 tightly.

Hereinafter, the sole 101 of the boot 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. The sole 101 can be fixed to the upper part in any known manner, and play a supporting role. The bottom surface of the sole 101, that is, the surface in contact with the bottom surface has a non-slip pattern. For ease of description, the sole 101 is divided into a toe area 210, a forefoot area 220, a middle area 230, and a heel area 240.

The toe area 210 includes a plurality of concentric protrusions 211, and these concentric protrusions 211 may have a triangular cross-section to provide the boot 1 with anti-slip properties. In addition, in the forefoot area 220, a plurality of

annular protrusions

221 and 222 are provided. The annular protrusions include large annular protrusions 221 arranged in three rows of four, four and two, and a plurality of annular protrusions arranged in the middle of the three rows of large annular protrusions 221. Small annular protrusions 222, these annular protrusions have a relatively thin wall thickness, so that when the boot 1 steps on the ice, the

annular protrusions

221 and 222 are deformed like suction cups, and the sole of the boot 1 is adsorbed on the ice. It plays a role in preventing ice and sliding. In the heel area 240, similarly includes a plurality of annular protrusions 241, shown as four in the figure, arranged in a diamond shape, the function of these annular protrusions 241 is similar to that of the

annular protrusions

221 and 222 in the forefoot area 220 effect. By forming annular protrusions in the forefoot area and the heel area that support the feet of the skier, the skier wearing the boots 1 can have good adhesion even when walking on the ice surface and prevent slipping.

In addition to the above-mentioned annular protrusions, a plurality of grooves 250 are formed on the bottom surface of the sole. These grooves 250 can play a role in drainage and snow drainage. As can be seen from the cross-sectional view, the grooves 250 have a trapezoidal shape and face the bottom. The opening gradually expands, and the middle trapezoid bottom forms a rounded corner, thereby preventing snow from accumulating in the grooves 250, or the grooves 250 may also have an arc-shaped cross section to prevent snow from accumulating in the grooves.

In addition, in order to improve comfort, cavities 260 are formed in the sole, and these cavities can be filled with high-pressure gas to form an air cushion.

The boot 1 according to the present invention can not only be used with the accessory 2 as shown in FIG. 4 to be used as a snowboard boot, in addition, the boot 1 can also be used with the PCT/CN2017/084573 and PCT/CN2018 previously filed by the inventor. The shells described in the /102522 application are used together to form ski boots for skiing. The above-mentioned PCT application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Preferably, in order to fit the outer shell, protrusions 270 are formed on the inner and outer sides of the sole part of the boot 1, and the protrusions 270 can cooperate with the holding parts in the outer shell to hold the boot 1 in the outer shell.
