METHOD OF FITTING SKI BOOTS

摘要

A method of fitting ski boots using a conformable material made up of separable small discrete particles covered with a film of a lubricating or liquid material. The material is fluidized with air under pressure for injecting the material into the pads, in order to fit closely to the foot and to insure a close fit in a short time. The apparatus includes a gun member which utilizes fluid under pressure that forms a turbulent mixing zone and discharges the material into the pad in a boot fitting, and which has means for advancing the bulk material into the mixing zone as necessary.
