French Patent No. 8008948 and its additional certificate No. 83094
No. 49 discloses a ski boot including a trunk portion hinged to a lower portion of a shell (shoe body), and the trunk portion itself is 2
Part: a rear part (ie a rear cover) hinged to the shell lower part for tilting backwards so that the skier's foot can be inserted into a ski boot; in particular a pli de flexion To instep (cou-de-pie
It comprises a shell bottom in the area up to d) and a front part (ie a sleeve) hinged to the shell bottom. The shape of the portion surrounding the lower front portion of the sleeve corresponds to the shape of the upper shell lower portion. The lower portion of the sleeve includes an elongated window (ie, a groove extending transversely over at least a portion of the lower perimeter of the area from the flex fold to the instep).

When the body of the shoe is bent and urged forward, a slider (cursor) that acts as a movable stopper for transmitting stress slides in the groove.

According to one embodiment, the slider comprises: i) at least one lateral rail integrally connecting the slider with one of the lower sleeve edges 1, ii) provided on the lower sleeve edge Movable locking means moving vertically with respect to the rail so as to be placed in a corresponding recess; iii) moving vertically with respect to the locking means and by means of a ramp or equivalent. It is characterized in that it comprises a stopper body which is connected to the locking means and includes a pressing member whose movement controls the movement of the locking means.

The stopper body comprises two guide rails in which two edges of a groove provided in the lower part of the sleeve slide, one of the edges of the groove accommodating the locking means. It is preferable to provide a series of notches that form a series of recesses for

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the slider (cursor)
Perform different locking movements. That is, the locking member draws a circular orbit for linear movement in the plane of the pressing element, and its rotation axis is perpendicular or parallel to the pressing surface.

The invention will be better understood by reference to the following description as well as the accompanying schematic drawings showing some preferred embodiments of the cursor. However, the illustrated embodiment is an example, and does not limit the scope of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows a ski boot 1 similar to that shown in the French patent No. 8008948 cited above and its additional certificate No. 8309449. This ski boot 1 includes a shell (shoe body) lower part 2 in which a rear cover 4 and a sleeve 5 are hingedly connected via a shaft 3, and the rear cover 4 and the sleeve 5 are connected via a notch means 6. They are fastened together and form the body of the shoe.

In the lower part of the sleeve 5, which covers the upper part of the shell lower part 2,
A transverse groove 7 is provided in which a cursor 8 slides. This cursor is for the lower part 5a of the sleeve 5,
It is for transmitting the bending movement of the sleeve. When the cursor 8 is at the base of the groove 7, the two edges of the groove are more easily accessible to each other at the instep, and when the cursor 8 is in the center of the groove Can be seen just above the instep. Therefore, the movement of the cursor 8 makes the sleeve 5 somewhat difficult to bend forward.

Of course, it is very important from the viewpoint of comfort of the user that the cursor position can be easily changed, and that once the cursor position is set to the predetermined position, it cannot be moved unexpectedly.

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 6, the cursor 8 has a body 9
And a pressing member 10 that slides in the main body. The pressing member has one end pressed by a spring 11 to control the movement of the locking member 12, and the end of the locking member has a groove 7. It can be seen that it is adapted to be housed in one or the other of a series of recesses 13 provided in the edge 1.

Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the body 9 of the cursor 8 preferably includes guide rails 14, 15 located on opposite sides thereof. The guide rail is recessed and, in the example shown, comprises a wall with a contre-dpouille. Inside the two rails 14 and 15, both edges of the groove 7 slide. At the center of the body 9, the rails 14,1
A locking member 12 which is perpendicular to 5 (ie perpendicular to the direction of movement of the cursor 8) and slides in the groove 16 is arranged. The locking member 12 is provided with a protrusion 17 that projects into a window portion 18 provided in the pressing member 10. This window portion is oriented in the body 9 of the cursor 8 in an oblique direction with respect to the moving direction A of the pressing member 10, the moving direction A of the pressing member being parallel to the rails 14 and 15 and the groove 16 Perpendicular to.

It can be seen that when the pressing member operates along the moving direction A, the protrusion 17 moves within the window portion 18. As a result, the locking member 12
Disengages from the recess in which it was housed and retracts. In this way, the cursor 8 can be slid to guide the locking member 12 to the screen of another recess 13.

4, 5, and 6 show three variants. According to the variant shown in FIG. 4, the locking member 12 is a pressing member 10.
When the pressing member 10 operates on the sloped surface 19 formed on the lower surface, the pressing member 10 descends along the sloped surface 19. According to the modification shown in FIG. 5, since the locking member 12 has a spherical shape, it becomes possible to more easily descend along the slope 19. According to the variant shown in FIG. 6, the locking member 12 is a projection which rests on the two-part surface 20. That is, the surface 20 is composed of a surface portion 20a that holds the protrusion protruding to the outside of the main body 9 and a surface portion 20b that includes a recess in which the protrusion is housed. Of course, when the recess 20b is provided on the surface of the projection, it is necessary to provide elastic means (not shown) for returning the projection into the recess.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the lower part of the sleeve 1 comprises a groove 7 and the body 9 of the cursor 8 comprises two rails 14, 15 corresponding to the two edges of the groove 7. However,
The sleeve may not include a groove, and the body 9 may only include a single rail on which the lower edge of the sleeve 5 slides, so that the cursor 8 is of the sleeve 5 and the shell bottom 2. It is also clear that it can be directly inserted between them.

Furthermore, according to a preferred structural arrangement, the locking member 12 of the cursor 8 comprises a slanted side 22 and an orthogonal side 23, and the cursor 8 is such that the slanted side 22 of the locking member 12 faces upwards. Is disposed in the groove 7 so as to be provided. Therefore, skiers
The bending rigidity of the shoe upper can be adjusted simply by pushing the pin upward from below. In this case, since the locking member 12 always cooperates with the orthogonal side surface 23 in the notch 13, the cursor is in the "easy-to-bend position" when sliding on a course with a lot of undulations, for example, in a place with unevenness. (Posi
You don't have to worry about seeing it re-descent to "tion" souple ").

FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 9, FIG. 10, and FIG. 10a are conceptual diagrams showing one mode of the locking movement of the cursor 8. In these figures, the locking member 12 is, as shown in FIG. 4, an axis that is perpendicular to the moving direction 31 of the pressing member 10.
Pivots around 30. In this example, the locking member 12
The rotational movement of the notch 33 is similar to a gear with a rack.
And the tooth 32 are engaged with each other. The locking member 12 pivotally mounted on the body 9 of the cursor 8 comprises at its end 35 a substantially semi-cylindrical flat portion 34 which crosses the rail 14 emerging from the body 9 of the cursor 8. . As can be seen in FIG. 7, the side edge 36 of the groove 7 is provided with a series of oblique cuts 37, the face of which is a guide rail 14 (hence the locking member 12).
35) is opposite the end. According to the invention, a locking member
The flat portion 34 of 12 has a semi-cylindrical portion formed by the end portion 35 of the locking member obliquely when the pressing member 10 moving in the direction of the arrow 31 pivots the locking member 12 in the clockwise direction. It is angularly oriented in the transverse plane with respect to the position of the tooth 32 for disengagement from the row notch 37. In this way, by maintaining the pressing member 10 against the action of the spring 11,
The cursor 8 can be slid in the groove 7 of the shoe to the selected adjustment position. It is then only necessary to loosen the pressing member 10, which, while returning to its initial position by the pressing force of the spring 11, pivots the teeth 32 of the locking member 12 therewith, at which time the locking member is then moved. Pivots counterclockwise. This causes the end 35 of the locking member 12 to engage within the corresponding end of the notch 37. It will be seen from FIG. 9 that it is advantageous to limit the locking member 12 within the amplitude of the rotational movement about the axis 30 via disengagement flats 40 formed on both sides of the tooth 32. . In this way, the cursor 8 is the shoe 1
When it is not installed in the groove portion 7, the pressing member 10 remains connected to the main body 9 and the locking member 12.

As described above, the movement coupling between the pressing member 10 and the locking member 12 is performed by the tooth portion 32 and the cutout portion 33, the tooth portion 32 is carried by the locking member 12, and the cutout portion 33 is pressed. Element
Carried by 10. Needless to say, as shown in FIG. 11, the reverse arrangement may be considered. In this case, the pressing member 10 is a notch provided in the tubular body that constitutes the locking member 12.
33 'includes cogs 32' cooperating with. In the case shown,
If the main body 9 of the cursor 8 is not mounted in the groove 7 of the shoe 1, the holding of the pressing member 10 on the main body 9 of the cursor 8 prevents the passage of the tooth 32 'past the locking member. This can be done by using a guide wedge 41 that is integrally connected to the main body 9 by 42.

The rotating shaft 30 of the locking member 12 is, as can be seen from FIG. 10a,
It is substantially parallel to the transverse plane P of the pressing member 10.

12, 12a and 13 show another embodiment of the cursor 8. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 30 'of the locking member 12
Is a cross section P of the pressing member 10, as schematically shown in FIG. 12a.
Vertical to. The cursor 8 in FIG. 12 is a locking member that pivots.
12 includes a rotary shaft 30 ′ that is integral with the pressing member 10.
The notched end 50 of the locking member 12 having a shape comparable to that of a pawl is engaged in the notch 51 by the action of an elastic member such as a leaf spring 52 integral with the body 9 of the cursor 8. Is urged to do so. The notch 51 is provided on the side edge of the groove 7 and is inclined in the same direction as the moving direction 31 of the pressing member 10. In order to be able to move the cursor 8 in the groove 7, as in the case described above, the action is exerted on the pressing member 10 in the direction of the arrow 31 against the action of the spring 11. However, in this configuration example, the locking member 12 is driven in the same moving direction as the pressing member 10 via the rotating shaft 30 '. Therefore, the notched end portion of the notch portion 51 which is arranged on the side of the locking member 12 on the main body 9 of the cursor 8 is provided.
By means of a stopper 53 arranged on the side opposite to the disengagement direction of the arrow 50 of 50, the locking member 12 is formed by the contour portion 53 '.
Means for rotating the locking member to be supported with respect to. That is, in order to cause the rotation of the locking member 12, the stopper 53 is always separated from the rotation shaft 30 ′ of the locking member in a direction intersecting the moving direction 31 of the pressing member (second direction). It is needless to say that they are preferably arranged (preferably substantially perpendicular to the moving direction 31). As can be seen from the above description regarding the cursor 8 in FIGS. 7 to 11, means for holding the pressing member 10 against the body 9 are conceivable. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the retaining means includes a pivot 38 embodying the axis of rotation 30 'of the locking member 12 (i.e., through at least one of its ends, within the wall of the sliding cursor). It comprises a pivot 38) which cooperates with an elongated slot 56 provided. This slot 56 is, on the one hand, from the notch 51 to the locking member.
In order to make the pressing member movable along the arrow 31 until releasing 12, and on the other hand not to prevent the notch 50 of the locking member from engaging with the base of the notch,
It extends over a sufficient length.

From FIG. 13, it is possible to maintain a configuration of a cursor comparable to the cursor described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 12a by making the inclining direction of the notch 60 opposite to the moving direction 31 of the pressing member 10 ′. Is clear. In fact, it is only necessary to orient the notched end 50 'to match the notch 60,
The disengagement direction 54 is unchanged. In this configuration example, the holding of the pressing member 10 with respect to the main body 9 of the cursor 8 is obtained by the protrusion 61 sliding in the slot 62.

The cursor 8 of Figure 14 differs from that of Figures 12 and 13 in that the axis of rotation 30 "of the locking member 12 is carried and fixed to the body 9 of the cursor. 31
In order to transmit the motion of the pressing member 10 along the locking member 12 to the locking member 12, the pressing member 10 and the tooth portion integrated with the locking member 12 are respectively provided.
66 and notch 65. Nevertheless,
As will be understood with reference to FIGS. 9 and 11, it will be appreciated that the transmission means consisting of the notches 65 and the teeth 66 may be mounted reversely on the locking and pressing members.
