Patent number: 6643955Abstract: A retention and release mechanism and ski boot for mitigating injury to a skier when the rearward loads, potentially injurious to the user, are imparted to the boot. The mechanism includes a first linkage having an end coupled to a first rigid boot portion, and a second linkage coupled to the first linkage through a pin disposed in a slot in the first linkage. The mechanism provides stable orientation of the first portion to the second portion in a “ski” position, and allows rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion in a “release” position, the “release” position being established upon imposition of a predetermined level of rearward force on the boot.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2001Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Lange International S.A.Inventors: Javin Pierce, Andrea Fregoni

Patent number: 6539648Abstract: A boot is constituted, on the one hand, of a shell (1), a cuff (2) joined to the shell, the shell and the cuff presenting zones of differing rigidity (18, 19a, 27, 28). The zones of lesser rigidity (14, 16, 18) of the shell permitting the support, on the sides of the shell, of a rigid heel zone (5) extending toward the front by a lateral oblique band (10) carrying the buckles (11, 12). The rigid zone of the cuff comprises two lateral flaps (19) and at least a collar (20) wherein the rearward portion of the collar is connected to the heel by a joining component (24) regulating the flexing and the rear support. The surface of the rigid zones is minimal.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1999Date of Patent: April 1, 2003Assignee: Lange International S.A.Inventor: Andrea Collavo
-
Patent number: 6530161Abstract: The boot comprises a cuff (4) articulated to a shell (1) and a leaf (6) for retaining the cuff which counteract its rearward tilting but give way when the force tending to tilt the cuff exceeds a specific value. These leaf consist of a part (6) which works in compression and gives way by buckling. Such a boot is intended to prevent tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2000Date of Patent: March 11, 2003Assignee: Lange International S.A.Inventor: Jean Bauvois
-
Patent number: 6474004Abstract: Ski boot whose upper consists of a variable-volume plastic shell (1) provided with at least one tightening device (5, 6). The outer side (A) of the shell has zones (A′, A″) which are of substantially lower rigidity than the rest of the shell and lie on either side of a stronger band (15) which extends obliquely from the heel to the front end of the shell and bears one of the parts of the tightening device. The effect of said band is to keep the foot bearing against the inner side of the shell, and thus to improve edge setting.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1998Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: Lange International S.A.Inventor: Andrea Collavo

Patent number: 6457265Abstract: A boot has a rigid core (1, 2) consisting, in some areas, of the inside surface of the boot into which a liner is received and of an envelope of supple material (11, 12) covering the rigid core, and making up the inside surface of the boot in the areas where the rigid core is absent. The rigid core comprises means of reinforcement (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) that are not covered by the aforementioned envelope of supple material (11, 12).Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1998Date of Patent: October 1, 2002Assignee: Lange International S.A.Inventors: Francis Lepage, Bertrand Barre

Patent number: 6336279Abstract: Ski boot has a shell (1), a collar (4) articulated on the shell and an inner reinforcement element (7) fixed to the collar. The reinforcement element is in the form of a half-collar surrounding the upper edge of the shell. The boot has a wedge-shaped projection (12) of the reinforcement for making the reinforcement interfere with the shell. The projection (12) engages in a notch (13) of the shell, in such a manner that the reinforcement element controls the flexibility of the boot.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2000Date of Patent: January 8, 2002Assignee: Lange International S.A.Inventor: Piero Orso

Patent number: 6295745Abstract: The present invention relates to a ski boot comprising a first component, consisting essentially of a sole and an upper which encloses the foot and the malleolar region, and a second component consisting of a cuff which is articulated with respect to the upper so as to allow the cuff to move from front to rear and vice versa, and means for retaining the cuff which counteract the rearward tilting of the cuff but give way when the force tending to tilt the cuff exceeds a specific value. The retaining means are bistable. They consist of a stop (11) integral with one component of the boot and an elastically deformable part (6), for example a convex leaf, which is integral with the other component of the boot and is intended to be deformed by the stop.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 1999Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: Lange International S.A.Inventor: Jean Bauvois

Patent number: 6263593Abstract: A retention and release mechanism and ski boot for mitigating injury to a skier when the rearward loads, potentially injurious to the user, are imparted to the boot. The mechanism includes a first linkage arm, a latch, and a second linkage arm. The latch is connected to a first end of the first linkage arm, and is configured for direct or indirect pivotal connection to a first portion of the boot (e.g., an upper portion), which is pivotally connected to a second portion of the boot (e.g., a lower portion). The second linkage arm is pivotally connected to a second end of the first linkage arm at a pivot point, and is configured for pivotal connection to the second portion of the boot.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1999Date of Patent: July 24, 2001Assignee: Lange International S.A.Inventors: Javin Pierce, Andrea Fregoni
