Flexible ski boot with rocking hinge - has baseplate with rocking seat for uppers and shock absorbing springs

摘要

The ski boot has high flexibility to facilitate movement and absorb impacts and shocks. The uppers (1) of the boot and sole (5) are connected so that they are able to move relatively. The uppers have a baseplate with a concave seat for rocking on a convex projection on sole. The rocking axis is arranged approximately under the centre of gravity of the boot. Snow cannot enter the boot through gaps. Shocks are absorbed by springs or by rubber or elastic plastics components. The shoeck absorbing elements are fitted between sole and base plate 5).
