Abstract
Abstract A ski boot provided with a walking sole and an attachment or connection means for securing the walking sole to the ski boot. The connection means serves to secure the walking sole at the ski boot such that the walking sole can be pivoted about at least one axis of rotation at the ski boot away from the tread surface of said ski boot into a position at the upper of the ski boot. When the walking sole assumes the position where it bears against the upper of the ski boot the skier can step into the ski binding, typically a safety binding, without the need for the walking sole to be detached i.e. carried by the skier during skiing at any other location than at the boot itself.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
The combination with a ski boot having tread surface means and a walking sole of a connection element for securing the walking sole to the ski boot, said connection element including means for mounting the walking sole at the ski boot such that the walking sole can be pivoted about at least one axis of rotation at the ski boot away from the tread surface means of the ski boot into a position adjacent the upper of the ski boot, said position enabling the ski boot to be inserted into a ski binding without the walking sole, during skiing with the ski boot, having to be carried at any location other than at the ski boot itself.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
The combination with a ski boot having tread surface means and a walking sole of a connection element for securing the walking sole to the ski boot, said connection element including means for mounting the walking sole at the ski boot such that the walking sole can be pivoted about at least one axis of rotation at the ski boot away from the tread surface means of the ski boot into a position adjacent the upper of the ski boot, said position enabling the ski boot to be inserted into a ski binding without the walking sole, during skiing with the ski boot, having to be carried at any location other than at the ski boot itself.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
The combination as defined in claim 1, further including a part depending from the walking sole, and said connection means includes mechanism for rotatably mounting said part depending from the walking sole so that the walking sole can be rotated about its own lengthwise axis through an angle of approximately 180°.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
The combination as defined in claim 1, further including a part extending from the connection element, and the walking sole incorporates means with which there can be coupled said part extending from the connection element such that the walking sole can be rotated about its lengthwise axis through an angle of approximately 180°.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
113 words
A connection element for securing a walking sole at a ski boot having a tread surface and an upper, said connection element including means for mounting the walking sole at the ski boot such that the walking sole can be pivoted about at least one axis of rotation away from the tread surface of the ski boot into a position where it is located adjacent the upper of the ski boot, and in which position the ski boot can be inserted without hinderance into a ski binding without the need for the walking sole to be carried during skiing with the ski boot at any other location but at the ski boot itself.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
113 words
A connection element for securing a walking sole at a ski boot having a tread surface and an upper, said connection element including means for mounting the walking sole at the ski boot such that the walking sole can be pivoted about at least one axis of rotation away from the tread surface of the ski boot into a position where it is located adjacent the upper of the ski boot, and in which position the ski boot can be inserted without hinderance into a ski binding without the need for the walking sole to be carried during skiing with the ski boot at any other location but at the ski boot itself.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
The connection element as defined in claim 4, wherein said mounting means includes means for pivotably securing the connection element at the walking sole and means for pivotably securing the connection element at the ski boot.
