Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an outdoor sports article, in particular to a shoe frame structure of a snowshoe and related snowshoes. Background Art

[0002] Snowshoes, also known as snow paws, bear paw shoes, snowshoes, and snow boots, are footwear used for walking on snow. By distributing the body's weight over a larger area, they prevent the foot from sinking completely into the snow. Traditional snowshoes are made of a hardwood frame woven with rawhide leather straps, making them cumbersome and prone to falling. Existing snowshoes mostly use light metal frames, while others are made of a single piece of plastic with straps. While these are relatively lightweight, they suffer from poor slip resistance and can be prone to falls when hiking in the snow.

[0003] Upon investigation, Chinese Patent No. 2013207248668 discloses a snowshoe comprising a frame and a covering panel stretched across the frame. The frame has a strip-shaped, circumferential sidewall oriented transversely to the horizontal. The frame is characterized by a support surface arranged circumferentially for securing the covering panel, the support surface being integrally formed with the sidewall. The frame, sidewall, and support surface are formed from a single strip or sheet of material by folding the edges of the strip or sheet. Consequently, the frame is relatively heavy, making it difficult to carry and use, resulting in high raw material costs. The frame's strength and support are weak for a given weight, and the sidewalls lack sufficient ice and snow breaking capability. Furthermore, securing the frame to the upper is difficult, typically requiring specialized connectors, complicating installation and hindering upper assembly. Furthermore, since the frame's cross-section remains essentially constant, it cannot adapt to changes in ice thickness, preventing it from self-adjusting. Similar problems also exist in the Chinese patent No. 200480003338.7 "Frame and buckle for snowshoes and related systems and methods".

[0004] Another Chinese patent, patent number 2015204682531, discloses a snowshoe comprising a main body composed primarily of a front shoe member made of plastic and a rear shoe frame made of metal, the front shoe member and the rear shoe frame being fixedly connected by one or more connecting members. Because the present invention utilizes a front shoe member made of plastic and a rear shoe frame made of metal to form the main body of the snowshoe, it avoids the need for an all-aluminum alloy for the entire main body, thus reducing production costs. Furthermore, because the rear shoe frame of the main body is made of metal, the quality of the snowshoe is enhanced. Its shortcoming is that it uses traditional circular cross-section pipes. Although the weight is reduced and the frame strength is increased compared to the previous frame, which is convenient for carrying and use, the circular cross-section makes it very difficult to install and fix the upper on the circular cross-section frame. Usually, connectors are required, which complicates the production and is not conducive to the fixed assembly of the upper. It is further difficult to fix the side teeth on the shoe frame and the firmness is not good enough. In addition, the ice and snow breaking ability of the snowshoes is not ideal, and therefore the structure needs further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0054] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example 1

[0055] The snow boots of this embodiment mainly include four parts: a shoe frame 1, a shoe upper 6, shoe teeth and a shoe upper 5. The shoe teeth include a side tooth piece 3, a front tooth piece 9 and a rear tooth piece 8. The side tooth piece 3 and the rear tooth piece 8 are installed on the shoe frame 1 to form a shoe frame structure, wherein:

[0056] The shoe frame structure includes a shoe frame 1 and a tail connector 2, see Figure 7 、 8 The shoe frame 1 is mainly made of a metal pipe with a triangular cross-section, with a rear end opening 11, a substantially horizontal middle portion, and a U-shaped structure with both ends tilted upward. The metal pipe with a triangular cross-section can be made of aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or steel. The tail connector 2 is fixedly connected to the rear end opening of the shoe frame 1 to form a closed ring-shaped shoe frame. The upper end surface of the shoe frame 1 is a mounting surface 13 for mounting the upper 6. The mounting surface 13 is usually flat to facilitate the mounting of the upper 6. The lower end of the shoe frame 1 is a triangular tip, see Figure 11At the bottom of the triangular tip structure at the lower end of the shoe frame 1, a number of side teeth 3 are installed at intervals to increase the anti-slip effect.

[0057] The head of the shoe frame 1 is bent upward at an angle of 15° to 45°, the middle portion of the shoe frame 1 is substantially horizontal, and the tail portion of the shoe frame 1 is bent upward at an angle of 5° to 30°. The head portion of the shoe frame 1 is wider than the tail portion, and the middle portion gradually narrows. The tail connector 2 is a V-shaped or U-shaped structure with a circular arc transition. The cross-sectional shape of the tail connector 2 is substantially consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the metal pipe, so that adjacent portions thereof can transition substantially flush. The tail connector 2 is disposed at the rear end opening 11 of the shoe frame 1 by means of a plug-in connection, a screw connection, a rivet connection, or a welding connection. This embodiment employs a plug-in connection, so that in this embodiment, both ends of the tail connector 2 are provided with protruding plug-in portions 21 that mate with the triangular opening of the triangular cross-sectional metal pipe of the shoe frame 1. The tail connector 2 is plug-in fixed to the rear end of the shoe frame 1 by size matching. A first connecting portion 22 is provided in the middle portion of the upper end surface of the tail connector 2, which is riveted to the rear end of the shoe upper 6. The cross section of the metal pipe with a triangular cross section is preferably an isosceles triangle or a right triangle cross section, with a certain arc transition at the corner tip to avoid injury. This embodiment uses a metal pipe with a right triangle cross section, see Figure 11 , wherein one right-angled side serves as the mounting surface 13 of the shoe frame 1, and the acute angle 14 of the other right-angled side serves as the lower end of the shoe frame 1, and the side teeth 3 are fixed on the inner side of the right-angled side 15 of the acute angle 14. The side teeth 3 are distributed between the head bent end and the rear bent end of the shoe frame 1, and the lower end of the side teeth 3 has a tooth-like structure with a pointed tip and high and low intervals. The side teeth 3 can be fixed to the inner side surface of the shoe frame 1 by welding, screwing or riveting, and connected to the inner side surface of the shoe frame 1 to form an integrated structure. In this embodiment, the side teeth 3 are divided into a front first side tooth 30 and a rear second side tooth 31. The front first side tooth 30 and the rear second side tooth 31 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the shoe frame 1, and the front first side tooth 30 and the rear second side tooth 31 are arranged one in front of the other on one side of the shoe frame. The vertical right-angled sides of the triangular metal tube of the shoe frame 1 are provided with mounting holes 12 for facilitating riveting the side teeth 3 , namely the front first side teeth 30 and the rear second side teeth 31 , to the inner side surface of the shoe frame 1 .

[0058] like Figures 7 and 8The rear toothed member 8 is laterally fixedly disposed between the middle and rear inner walls of the shoe frame 1. The rear toothed member 8 comprises a transverse metal plate 82, with bottom teeth formed on the bottom of the transverse metal plate 82. The bottom teeth are substantially uniform in height and adopt a spur gear structure. Side flanges 81 extend from the left and right sides of the transverse metal plate. The side flanges 81 are provided with mounting holes. The side flanges 81 are fixed to the inner wall of the shoe frame 1 via connectors such as rivets or screws. The front first side teeth 30 and the rear second side teeth 31 are arranged in two symmetrical front and rear sections. The rear second side teeth 31 and the rear toothed member 8 are integrally formed. The lower ends of the side flanges 81 of the rear toothed member 8 are folded outward to align substantially vertically with the bottom of the shoe frame 1, and the side teeth are formed on the bottom. The front first side teeth 30 are arranged on the left and right sides of the front part of the shoe frame 1 corresponding to the position of the front tooth part 9. The front first side teeth 30 include a metal plate. The upper end of the metal plate is provided with a through hole corresponding to the mounting hole 12 of the shoe frame 1. The lower end of the metal plate is folded outward and basically vertically aligned with the bottom of the shoe frame 1, and side teeth are formed at the bottom. The front first side teeth 30 are fixed to the side of the shoe frame 1 by connecting parts such as rivets or screws.

[0059] like Figures 12-15 The front tooth piece 9 is arranged horizontally between the front inner walls of the shoe frame 1. The position of the shoe upper 6 corresponding to the front tooth piece 9 is provided with a hollow portion 61. The hollow portion 61 is generally trapezoidal in shape, with a rounded transition at the corner. The main body of the front tooth piece 9 is a metal plate 90. Three first front teeth 91 and two second front teeth 92 are bent and pressed out of the front and back of the metal plate respectively. The first front teeth 91 and the second front teeth 92 both have bottom teeth with different heights. A transverse local axis hole 93 is pressed out of the middle part of the metal plate of the front tooth piece 9. Correspondingly, the treading portion 50 is arranged at the position corresponding to the hollow portion 61. The metal plate of the front tooth piece 9 is connected to the bottom of the front end of the treading portion 50 of the shoe upper. It is riveted and fixed, and a mounting sleeve hole is formed between the metal plate of the front tooth 9 and the bottom of the shoe upper stepping part 50. A metal cross bar 4 passes through the mounting sleeve hole and is connected to the axial hole 16 on the front inner wall of the shoe frame 1. In order to improve the strength of the shoe frame, the axial hole 16 is usually opened on the overlapping part of the side tooth 3 and the shoe frame 1. A shaft sleeve 41 is sleeved in the middle of the metal cross bar 4. The front tooth 9 is rotatably connected to the shoe frame 1 through the shaft sleeve 41 and the metal cross bar 4. Usually, in order to limit the movement of the front tooth 9 on the metal cross bar 4, limit sleeves 42 are respectively sleeved on the left and right ends of the metal cross bar 4, and each limit sleeve 42 is sleeved between the shaft sleeve 41 and the side of the shoe frame 1.

[0060] Thus, the side teeth 3, front teeth 9, and rear teeth 8 provide safety and anti-slip functions, making it less likely to fall when walking on snow. Furthermore, the side teeth 3 improve the mounting strength between the shoe frame 1 and the metal crossbar 4, and the rear teeth 8 improve the strength of the shoe frame 1. Of course, the shoe frame 1 is not limited to a single-piece structure made of triangular-section metal tubing. The shoe frame 1 can also be a two-piece structure formed by welding or splicing left and right sections or front and back sections, with the metal crossbar 4 connected between the left and right sections to strengthen the structure.

[0061] The upper 6 is fixed to the upper end surface of the shoe frame 1 by rivets. The upper 6 can be made of a hard plastic base plate and a soft plastic panel. A heel pedal 7 is fixed to the rear of the upper 6 by rivets. The heel pedal 7 is provided with a lifting device 10.
