Abstract
A ski boot sole covering assembly is specifically shaped to cover and protect all of the sole surfaces of a ski boot so as to be worn when the skis are not attached, thereby to preserve the integrity of the ski binding-engaging surfaces of the boot. The assembly also embodies a sole portion which is thickest in the area intermediate the toe and heel so as to allow a rocking action when walking.
Claims7
A ski boot protector for preserving the integrity of the ski binding-engaging surfaces of a ski boot when the ski boot is not engaged with a binding, said protector being formed of elastic material and comprising:
- an elongate sole protector portion sized to conform generally to the shape and plan view area of a ski boot sole;
- forward and rear upstanding end wall members extending upwardly from said protector portion at the opposite ends thereof and each end wall member presenting an inner surface adapted to engage the forward and rear projecting ends of a ski boot sole, each end wall member extending from side-to-side of said sole protector portion and each having a cover flange likewise extending from side-to-side of said sole protector portion, the cover flanges being dimensioned to overlie and substantially to cover the projecting forward and rear ends of a ski boot sole;
- and
- an upstanding side wall member extending along each side of said sole protector portion and integrally joining said end wall members, said side wall members being spaced apart closely to engage along opposite sides of a ski boot.
A ski boot sole covering assembly comprising a slip-on type cover formed of elastic material and adapted snugly to engage the sole region of a ski boot while forming a collar embracing the juncture of the boot upper and the sole region thereof, said assembly comprising a sole member and integral upstanding walls circumscribing said sole member, and a pair of cover flanges joining upper edge portions of said walls at the toe and heel of said sole member, said flanges having inner edges which cooperate with the upper edges of said walls to define an opening which is adapted snugly to collar the juncture of a ski boot upper with the sole region thereof, the upper surface of said sole member being flat in order to engage in face-to-face contact with the bottom of a ski boot sole and the sole member having toe and heel sections which are of diminishing thicknesses toward the toe and heel ends thereof so as to allow rocking action when the assembly is worn on a ski boot.
