Abstract

A snowboard shoe for freestyle boarding consists as usual of a soft boot-shaped inner part and a boot-shaped outer part which is provided with a soft shaft. In order to transmit the force for backside turns even with laterally bent legs, a rigid insert is provided between the inner part and the outer part, which extends around the heel region. At the level of the joint between foot and lower leg, a rigid back part, which surrounds the calf, is articulated on the insert pivotably about an axis running in the longitudinal direction of the shoe. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Snowboard-Stiefel mit einem weichen stiefelförmigen Innenteil und einem stiefelförmigen Außenteil, das einen weichen Schaft aufweist.The invention relates to a snowboard boot with a soft boot-shaped inner part and a boot-shaped outer part which has a soft shaft.

Je nachdem, ob Alpin oder im Freestyle gefahren wird, werden beim Snowboard-Fahren im wesentlichen zwei Arten von Stiefeln und Bindungen verwendet.Depending on whether you ride alpine or freestyle, two types of boots and bindings are used in snowboarding.

Beim alpinen Snowboard-Fahren verwendet man harte Stiefel, die ähnlich wie Skistiefel, aus einem weichen Innenschuh und einer harten Plastikaußenschale bestehen, wobei die Außenschale an der Wade mit einem hohen Rückenteil ("high back") oder Spoiler versehen ist. Als Bindung wird eine plattenförmige Bindung verwendet, die ähnlich einer Skitourenbildung ausgebildet ist.In alpine snowboarding, hard boots are used, which, like ski boots, consist of a soft inner shoe and a hard plastic outer shell, the outer shell on the calf being provided with a high back or spoiler. A plate-shaped binding is used as the binding, which is similar to a ski touring formation.

Der Snowboard-Fahrer steht quer auf dem Snowboard. D. h. zum Fahren einer Kurve bewegt er sich entweder nach vorne ("frontside turn") oder nach hinten ("backside turn"). Während beim frontside turn die Kraft genügt, die mit dem Fuß auf das Snowboard aufgebracht werden kann, ergeben sich aufgrund der Anatomie beim backside turn Probleme. Dies ist der Grund für den Spoiler, der als Hebel wirkt.The snowboard rider is standing across the snowboard. That is, to make a turn, it either moves forward ("frontside turn") or backwards ("backside turn"). While on the frontside turn the force that can be applied to the snowboard with your foot is sufficient, the anatomy of the backside turn creates problems. This is the reason for the spoiler that acts as a lever.

Im Gegensatz um alpinen Snowboard-Fahren soll im Freestyle der Fahrer eine hohe seitliche Beweglichkeit besitzen. D. h. es wird verlangt, daß er die Beine seitlich weit abwinkeln kann, ggf. so weit, daß er mit dem Knie das Snowboard berührt.In contrast to alpine snowboarding, in freestyle the driver should have a high degree of lateral mobility. That is, it is required that he can bend his legs sideways, possibly so far that he touches the snowboard with his knee.

Snowboard-Stiefel für das Freestyle-Fahren sind daher entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ausgebildet. D. h. sie weisen ein weiches, gepolstertes stiefelförmiges Innenteil auf, und das stiefelförmige Außenteil ist mit einem weichen Stoffschaft versehen. Der Freestyle- oder Soft-Stiefel besitzt damit im wesentlichen nur Wärme- und Polsterfunktion, während die Halterung des Fußes am Snowboard und die Übersetzung der Kräfte vom Fuß auf das Snowboard mit der Bindung erfolgt. Damit mit einem solchen Freestyle-Stiefel backside turns durchgeführt werden können, ist die Bindung für diese Stiefel mit einem Spoiler versehen. Wenn der Fahrer aie Beine seitlich abwinkelt, werden sie aus dem an der Bindung befestigten Spoiler seitlich herausgedreht. Der Spoiler verliert damit an Wirkung, so daß backside turns mit seitlich abgewinkelten Beinen mit der bekannten Freestyle-Stiefel- und Bindungsgarnitur nur sehr schwierig durchzuführen sind.Snowboard boots for freestyle driving are therefore designed in accordance with the preamble of claim 1. That is, they have a soft, padded boot-shaped inner part, and the boot-shaped outer part is provided with a soft fabric shaft. The freestyle or soft boot essentially only has a warming and cushioning function, while the foot is held on the snowboard and the forces are transferred from the foot to the snowboard with the binding. So that backside turns can be performed with such a freestyle boot, the binding for these boots is provided with a spoiler. If the driver bends the legs sideways, they are turned sideways out of the spoiler attached to the binding. The spoiler loses its effectiveness, so that backside turns with laterally angled legs are very difficult to carry out with the well-known freestyle boot and binding set.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, den Fuß am Snowboard so zu befestigen, daß im Freestyle backside turns auch bei seitlich abgewinkelten Beinen problemlos durchgeführt werden können.The object of the invention is therefore to attach the foot to the snowboard in such a way that freestyle backside turns can be carried out without problems even with legs bent at the side.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß mit dem im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichneten Snowboard-Stiefel erreicht. In den Unteransprüchen sind vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung wiedergegeben.This is achieved according to the invention with the snowboard boot characterized in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are given in the subclaims.

Nach der Erfindung wird also ein üblicher Freestyle- oder Soft-Stiefel verwendet, wobei zwischen dem Innenteil und dem Außenteil des Stiefels eine Einlage angebracht ist, an der ein Rückenteil angelenkt ist, welches die Wade umgreift und in seiner Wirkung einem Spoiler entspricht. Das Rückenteil ist um eine sich in Stiefellängsrichtung erstreckende Achse verschwenkbar, die sich im allgemeinen von hinten nach vorne schräg nach unten erstreckt. Die Achse ist in Höhe des Gelenks angeordnet, das den Fuß mit dem Unterschenkel verbindet. Damit es bei einer seitlichen Abwinkelbewegung der Beine durch die Wade mitgeführt wird, umgreift das Rückenteil die Wade an beiden Seiten. Damit entfaltet das Rückenteil seine volle Wirkung als Spoiler unabhänging von der Winkelstellung der Beine gegenüber dem Snowboard. Backside turns sind daher auch bei stark abgewinkelten Beinen problemlos möglich.According to the invention, therefore, a customary freestyle or soft boot is used, an insert being attached between the inner part and the outer part of the boot, to which a back part is articulated, which engages around the calf and corresponds in effect to a spoiler. The back part is pivotable about an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the boot, which generally extends obliquely downwards from the back to the front. The axis is located at the level of the joint that connects the foot to the lower leg. So that it is carried through the calf when the legs are bent sideways, the back section grips the calf on both sides. Thus, the back part unfolds its full effect as a spoiler regardless of the angular position of the Legs opposite the snowboard. Backside turns are therefore possible without any problems, even with strongly angled legs.

Um das Rückenteil zu halten, ist vorzugsweise ein Zugmittel, z. B. ein Band vorgesehen, das einerseits am Rückenteil und andererseits am Fußballenbereich im allgemeinen auf beiden Seiten der Einlage angreift. Der Angriffspunkt des Zugmittels am Rückenteil ist vorzugsweise der Höhe nach verstellbar.In order to hold the back part, a traction means, e.g. B. is provided a tape that attacks on the one hand on the back part and on the other hand on the ball area generally on both sides of the insert. The point of application of the traction means on the back part is preferably adjustable in height.

Handelsübliche Soft-Stiefel können mit der erfindungsgemäßen Einlage leicht nachgerüstet werden. Dazu kann z. B. die Innensohle zwischen Innenteil und Außenteil herausgenommen werden, die bei handelsüblichen Soft-Stiefeln im allgemeinen vorhanden ist. Um ausreichend Platz für die Einlage und das Rückenteil zu schaffen, kann man auch einen beispielsweise um eine halbe Nummer größeren Stiefel verwenden.Commercial soft boots can be easily retrofitted with the insert according to the invention. For this, e.g. B. the insole between the inner part and outer part can be removed, which is generally present in commercially available soft boots. To create enough space for the insert and the back part, you can also use a boot that is half a size larger, for example.

Nachstehend ist eine Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Snowboard-Stiefels anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Darin zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht des auf einer Bindung befestigten Stiefels mit teilweise weggebrochenem Außenteil-Schaft; und
  • Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht der Einlage mit dem daran angelenkten Rückenteil.
An embodiment of the snowboard boot according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. In it show:
  • Figure 1 is a side view of the boot attached to a binding with the outer part shaft partially broken away. and
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the insert with the back part hinged to it.

Gemäß Fig. 1 ist der Stiefel 1 auf einer Bindung 2 befestigt. Die Bindung 2 besteht aus einer Grundplatte 3 mit Seitenwänden 4 auf beiden Seiten. Die Seitenwände sind an ihrem hinteren Ende mit einem Fersenbügel 5 miteinander verbunden.1, the boot 1 is fastened to a binding 2. The binding 2 consists of a base plate 3 with side walls 4 on both sides. The side walls are connected to one another at their rear end with a heel strap 5.

Im vorderen Bereich sind die Seitenwände 4 durch ein mit einer nicht dargestellten Schnalle schließbares Gurtband 6 verbunden, das über der vorderen Kappe des Stiefels 1 angeordnet ist. Weiterhin sind die Seitenwände im hinteren Bereich durch ein Ristband 7 verbunden, das mit einem Polster 8 versehen ist. Das Ristband 7 ist um den Rist des Stiefels 1 gelegt und ebenfalls mit einer nicht dargestellten Schnalle schließbar. Mit der Grundplatte 3 ist die Bindung 2 an dem nicht dargestellten Snowboard befestigt.In the front area, the side walls 4 are connected by a belt strap 6 which can be closed with a buckle (not shown) and which is arranged above the front cap of the boot 1. Furthermore, the side walls in the rear area are connected by an instep band 7, which is provided with a cushion 8. The instep band 7 is placed around the instep of the boot 1 and can also be closed with a buckle, not shown. With the Base plate 3, the binding 2 is attached to the snowboard, not shown.

Der Stiefel 1 besteht aus einem stiefelförmigen Innenteil 9 und einem stiefelförmigen Außenteil 10. Das Innenteil 9 kann wie das Innenteil eines üblichen Soft-Stiefels ausgebildet sein, also v. a. weich und gepolstert. Es ist schnürbar und mit einer in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Zunge versehen.The boot 1 consists of a boot-shaped inner part 9 and a boot-shaped outer part 10. The inner part 9 can be designed like the inner part of a conventional soft boot, ie v. a. soft and padded. It can be laced and provided with a tongue, not shown in the drawing.

Das Außenteil 10 besteht aus einem Schaft 11, der in Fig. 1 zum Teil weggebrochen dargestellt ist, und einem Unterbau 12. Das Außenteil 10 kann ebenfalls durch das Außenteil eines üblichen Soft-Stiefels gebildet sein. D. h. der Unterbau 12 besteht aus Gummi oder dgl. kautschukartigem Material, während der Schaft 11 aus Stoff oder einem anderen flexiblen Material, wie Leder oder Filz, besteht. Der Schaft 11 ist damit weich und flexibel. Er ist ebenfalls schnürbar und mit einer in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Zunge versehen. Die obere Kante des Unterbaus 12 liegt unterhalb des Gelenks, mit dem der Fuß am Unterschenkel angelenkt ist.The outer part 10 consists of a shaft 11, which is shown partially broken away in FIG. 1, and a substructure 12. The outer part 10 can also be formed by the outer part of a conventional soft boot. That is, the base 12 is made of rubber or the like. Rubber-like material, while the shaft 11 is made of fabric or another flexible material, such as leather or felt. The shaft 11 is thus soft and flexible. It can also be laced and provided with a tongue, not shown in the drawing. The upper edge of the base 12 lies below the joint with which the foot is articulated on the lower leg.

Zwischen dem Innenteil 9 und dem Außenteil 10 ist eine steife Einlage 13 angeordnet. D. h. die Einlage 13 weist eine Steifigkeit auf, die wesentlich über der des Innenteils 9 und des Schafts 11 des Außenteils 10 liegt und annähernd der Steifigkeit der Grundplatte 3 der Bindung 2 entspricht oder sogar darüber liegt. Die Wandstärke der Einlage 13 soll möglichst klein sein und beträgt vorzugsweise nicht mehr als 5 mm. Die Einlage 13 kann dazu beispielsweise aus faserverstärkten Kunststoffen, z. B. glasfaserverstärktem Epoxidharz oder Polyamid bestehen.A rigid insert 13 is arranged between the inner part 9 and the outer part 10. That is, the insert 13 has a rigidity which is substantially above that of the inner part 9 and the shaft 11 of the outer part 10 and approximately corresponds to the rigidity of the base plate 3 of the binding 2 or even lies above it. The wall thickness of the insert 13 should be as small as possible and is preferably not more than 5 mm. The insert 13 can for example made of fiber reinforced plastics, for. B. glass fiber reinforced epoxy or polyamide.

Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, erstreckt sich die Einlage 13 unter dem Fuß vom Fußballenbereich 14 bis zur Ferse 15, dann um die Ferse 15 herum bis unterhalb der Wade, also bis in Höhe des Gelenks zwischen Fuß und Unterschenkel. Die Einlage 13 ist schalenförmig ausgebildet, d. h. sie umschließt den Fuß und die Ferse auch seitlich. Sie ist an den Fuß angepaßt.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the insert 13 extends under the foot from the ball area 14 to the heel 15, then around the heel 15 to below the calf, that is to say at the level of the joint between the foot and lower leg. The insert 13 is cup-shaped, ie it also encloses the foot and the heel laterally. It is adapted to the foot.

An dem sich nach oben verjüngenden Ende der Einlage 13 ist ein steifes Rückenteil 16 um eine Achse 17 verschwenkbar angelenkt Die Achse 17 liegt etwa in der Längsmittelebene des Stiefels und verläuft in Richtung nach vorne leicht schräg nach unten. Sie ist in Höhe des Gelenks zwischen Fuß und Unterschenkel angeordnet.At the upwardly tapering end of the insert 13, a rigid back part 16 is pivotably pivoted about an axis 17. The axis 17 lies approximately in the longitudinal center plane of the boot and runs slightly obliquely downwards in the direction toward the front. It is located at the level of the joint between the foot and lower leg.

Das Gelenk zwischen der Einlage 13 und dem Rückenteil 16 kann durch einen Gelenkzapfen 18, eine Niet, eine Schraubenverbindung oder dgl. gebildet sein. Das Rückenteil 16 ist schalenförmig ausgebildet, so daß es die Wade seitlich umgreift.The hinge between the insert 13 and the back part 16 can be formed by a hinge pin 18, a rivet, a screw connection or the like. The back part 16 is cup-shaped so that it engages around the calf laterally.

Das Rückenteil 16 ist ebenfalls steif ausgebildet. D. h. seine Steifigkeit ist wesentlich größer als die Steifigkeit des Innenteils 9 bzw. des Schafts 11 des Außenteils 10, aber im allgemeinen geringer als die Steifigkeit der Grundplatte 3 der Bindung 2. Die Wandstärke des Rückenteils 16 ist ebenfalls möglichst gering, und sollte 5 mm nicht überschreiten. Die Steifigkeit des Rückenteils 16 kann jedoch geringer als die Steifigkeit der Einlage 13 sein. Das Rückenteil 16 besteht vorzugsweise aus nicht faserverstärkten Kunststoffen, beispielsweise Polyurethan oder Polyamid. Das Rückenteil 16 erstreckt sich nach oben etwa bis zur Oberkante des Schaftes 11 des Außenteils 10. Das Rückenteil 16 ist mit einem Zugmittel mit dem Fußballenbereich 14 der Einlage 13 verspannt.The back part 16 is also rigid. That is, its rigidity is much greater than the rigidity of the inner part 9 or the shaft 11 of the outer part 10, but generally less than the rigidity of the base plate 3 of the binding 2. The wall thickness of the back part 16 is also as small as possible and should not exceed 5 mm . However, the stiffness of the back part 16 can be less than the stiffness of the insert 13. The back part 16 preferably consists of non-fiber-reinforced plastics, for example polyurethane or polyamide. The back part 16 extends upwards approximately to the upper edge of the shaft 11 of the outer part 10. The back part 16 is tensioned with the ball area 14 of the insert 13 with a traction means.

Gemäß Fig. 2 ist dazu um das Rückenteil 16 ein Gurtband 19 angeordnet, das durch einen Schlitz 20 an der Seitenwand im Fußballenbereich 14 der Einlage 13 hindurchgeführt ist, unter der Einlage 13 zur anderen Seite verläuft und sich dort durch einen entsprechenden Schlitz in der anderen Seitenwand hindurch und dann zum Rückenteil 16 erstreckt.According to FIG. 2, a webbing 19 is arranged around the back part 16, which is passed through a slot 20 on the side wall in the ball area 14 of the insert 13, runs under the insert 13 to the other side and runs through a corresponding slot in the other Extends through the side wall and then to the back part 16.

Um die Länge des Bandes 19 einzustellen, ist es mit einer Schnalle 20 versehen, wobei durch die Schnalle 20 das Bandende des Gurtbands 19 gesteckt und mit einem in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Verschluß fixiert ist. Dieser Verschluß kann beispielsweise ein Klettverschluß sein. Ein Klettverschluß hat nämlich den Vorteil, daß er durch den Anpreßdruck zwischen Innenteil 9 und Außenteil 10 sicher fixiert bleibt. Ggf. kann auf jeder Seite der Einlage 13 eine derartige Schnalle 20 vorgesehen sein, durch die das Band 19 mit einem Ende hindurchgesteckt ist.In order to adjust the length of the strap 19, it is provided with a buckle 20, the strap end of the strap 19 being inserted through the buckle 20 and fixed with a fastener, not shown in the drawing. This closure can for example be a Velcro. Has a Velcro fastener namely the advantage that it remains securely fixed by the contact pressure between the inner part 9 and outer part 10. Possibly. Such a buckle 20 can be provided on each side of the insert 13, through which the band 19 is inserted at one end.

Das Gurtband 19 ist auf der Rückseite des Rückenteils 19 z. B. mit einer Niet 21 an einer Zunge 22 befestigt, die sich nach oben erstreckt. Die Zunge 22 ist entlang dem Rückenteil 16 auf und ab verschiebbar und in der gewünschten Position fixierbar.The webbing 19 is on the back of the back part 19 z. B. with a rivet 21 on a tongue 22 which extends upwards. The tongue 22 can be moved up and down along the back part 16 and can be fixed in the desired position.

Dazu kann im oberen Bereich des Rückenteils 16 eine Arretiereinrichtung für die Zunge 22 vorgesehen sein. Die Arretiereinrichtung kann beispielsweise aus einer Ratschenschnalle 23 bestehen, die einen mit einer Drucktaste versehenen Klinkenhebel 24 aufweist, der mit sägezahnförmigen Rippen 25 an der Zunge 22 zusammenwirkt.For this purpose, a locking device for the tongue 22 can be provided in the upper region of the back part 16. The locking device can consist, for example, of a ratchet buckle 23 which has a ratchet lever 24 which is provided with a pushbutton and which cooperates with sawtooth-shaped ribs 25 on the tongue 22.

Der Stiefel 1 aus dem Innenteil 3 und dem Außenteil 10 hat im wesentlichen nur Wärme- und Polsterfunktion. Demgegenüber erfolgt die Übertragung der Kräfte vom Fuß auf das Snowboard mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Stiefel 1 mit der Einlage 13 und dem Rückenteil 16 sowie mit der Bindung 2.The boot 1 made of the inner part 3 and the outer part 10 has essentially only a warming and cushioning function. In contrast, the forces are transmitted from the foot to the snowboard with the boot 1 according to the invention with the insert 13 and the back part 16 and with the binding 2.

Dadurch, daß das Innenteil 9 und der Schaft 11 des Außenteils 10 weich sind, kann der Snowboard-Fahrer die Beine seitlich beliebig abwinkeln, ggf. bis er das Snowboard mit den Knien berührt. Viele Bewegungen werden im Freestyle seitlich aus den Knien heraus gemacht. Damit kann der Snowboard-Fahrer mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Stiefel alle diese Bewegungen problemlos durchführen.Due to the fact that the inner part 9 and the shaft 11 of the outer part 10 are soft, the snowboard driver can bend the legs laterally as desired, if necessary until he touches the snowboard with his knees. Many movements are freestyle out of the knees. Thus, the snowboard driver can easily carry out all these movements with the boot according to the invention.

Durch seine Anlenkung an der Einlage 13 um die Achse 17 und seine Ausbildung als die Wade umgreifendes Teil wird das steife Rückenteil 16 bei allen seitlichen Bewegungen der Wade mitgeführt. Damit ist das Rückenteil in jeder Schwenkstellung als Spoiler wirksam, so daß backside turns auch mit seitlich abgewinkelten Beinen leicht durchgeführt werden können.Due to its articulation on the insert 13 about the axis 17 and its design as a part encompassing the calf, the rigid back part 16 is carried along with all lateral movements of the calf. So that the back part is effective in every swivel position as a spoiler, so that backside turns can also be easily performed with legs bent at the sides.

Die Neigung des Rückenteils 16 gegenüber der Stiefelsohle, also der Grundplatte 3 der Bindung 2 kann über die Länge des Gurtbandes 19 eingestellt werden. Wenn zwei Schnallen 20 auf beiden Seiten der Einlage 13 vorgesehen sind, kann das Rückenteil 16 auch schräg gestellt werden, wenn dies gewünscht wird.The inclination of the back part 16 with respect to the sole of the boot, that is to say the base plate 3 of the binding 2, can be adjusted over the length of the webbing 19. If two buckles 20 are provided on both sides of the insert 13, the back part 16 can also be inclined if this is desired.

Mit der Zunge 22 kann der Angriffspunkt des Gurtbandes 19 am Rückenteil 16 der Höhe nach verstellt werden. D. h. wenn das Gurtband 19 das Rückenteil 16 relativ weit unten umgreift, ist das Rückenteil 16 weniger steif als bei einem Angriff des Gurtbands 19 im oberen Bereich des Rückenteils 16. Bei einem tieferen Angriffspunkt hat man also im Stiefel mehr Beweglichkeit, jedoch nimmt der Kraftaufwand zur Ausführung von backside turns zu, während bei einem höheren Angrifftspunkt zwar die Beweglichkeit abnimmt, jedoch eine bessere Kraftübertragung bei backside turns erfolgt. Auf diese Weise kann der Snowboard-Fahrer die Beweglichkeit und die Kraftübertragung nach seinen Bedürfnissen und Wünschen optimal einstellen.With the tongue 22, the point of application of the webbing 19 on the back part 16 can be adjusted in height. That is, if the webbing 19 encompasses the back part 16 relatively far below, the back part 16 is less stiff than when the webbing 19 attacks in the upper region of the back part 16. At a lower point of attack, there is more mobility in the boot, but the effort is required to execute it from backside turns to, while with a higher point of attack the mobility decreases, but a better power transmission takes place with backside turns. In this way, the snowboard rider can optimally adjust the mobility and power transmission according to his needs and desires.
