Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a ski-boot more particularly designed to enable deliberate release of a ski-boot from a ski by means of a ski-stick. The ski-boot comprises bearing-surfaces and retention means especially comprising a hole 18 adapted to cooperate with the ski-boot from the ski and in order on the other hand to avoid its slipping during the release of the ski-boot from the ski. The boot in accordance with the invention offers the advantage of facilitating the deliberate release of the fastening between the ski-boot and the ski.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A ski-boot adapted to be releasably engaged on a ski, said ski-boot comprising one bearing surface adapted to cooperate with a lower portion of a ski-pole whereby deliberate movement of said ski-pole relative to said ski while said lower portion of said ski-pole bears against said bearing surface causes said ski-boot to be released from said ski, said ski boot further comprising retention means for retaining the lower portion of said ski-pole in cooperation with said bearing surface during said deliberate motion of said ski-pole, wherein said bearing surface and said retention means comprise a single hole.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A ski-boot adapted to be releasably engaged on a ski, said ski-boot comprising one bearing surface adapted to cooperate with a lower portion of a ski-pole whereby deliberate movement of said ski-pole relative to said ski while said lower portion of said ski-pole bears against said bearing surface causes said ski-boot to be released from said ski, said ski boot further comprising retention means for retaining the lower portion of said ski-pole in cooperation with said bearing surface during said deliberate motion of said ski-pole, wherein said bearing surface and said retention means comprise a single hole.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
101 words
A ski-boot adapted to be releasably engaged on a ski, said ski-boot comprising at least one bearing surface, said bearing surface being adapted to cooperate with a lower portion of a ski-pole and being further adapted to remain stationary relative to said ski-boot whereby deliberate movement of said ski-pole relative to said ski while said lower portion of said ski-pole bears against said bearing surface causes said ski-boot to be released from said ski, said ski-boot further comprising retention means for retaining the lower portion of said ski-pole in cooperation with said bearing surface during said deliberate motion of said ski-pole.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
101 words
A ski-boot adapted to be releasably engaged on a ski, said ski-boot comprising at least one bearing surface, said bearing surface being adapted to cooperate with a lower portion of a ski-pole and being further adapted to remain stationary relative to said ski-boot whereby deliberate movement of said ski-pole relative to said ski while said lower portion of said ski-pole bears against said bearing surface causes said ski-boot to be released from said ski, said ski-boot further comprising retention means for retaining the lower portion of said ski-pole in cooperation with said bearing surface during said deliberate motion of said ski-pole.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 2 wherein said bearing surface and said retention means comprise a single hole.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 1 or 3, wherein said hole is partially open along its circumference.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The ski-boot as defined by claims 1 or 3 wherein said hole has a substantially vertical axis.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 5 wherein said hole is oblong and the major axis of said hole is transverse to the longitudinal axis of said boot.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
51 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 1 or 3 whereby said retention means is arranged such that said ski-pole exerts a lever action on said ski-boot relative to said ski as said ski-pole is moved relative to said ski so as to release said boot from said engagement with said ski.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
15 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 7 wherein said hole is integral with said ski-boot.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
48 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 8 wherein said hole extends from an upper surface to a lower surface on said ski-boot and the cross-section of the upper portion of said hole tapers so as to facilitate insertion of said lower portion of said ski-pole into said hole.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
29 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 8 wherein the lower portion of said hole is tapered so as to facilitate deflection of said ski-pole when inserted within said hole.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
24 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 7 said hole is arranged in a member distinct from but at least temporarily integral with said ski-boot.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
48 words
The ski-boot as defined in claim 11 wherein said hole extends from an upper surface to a lower surface on said ski-boot and the cross-section of the upper portion of said hole tapers so as to facilitate insertion of said lower portion of said ski-pole into said hole.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
29 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 11 wherein the lower portion of said hole is tapered so as to facilitate deflection of said ski-pole when inserted within said hole.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
34 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 1 or 2 wherein said ski-boot is adapted to be releasably engaged to said ski whereby said ski-boot is released by rotation and lateral disengagement of said ski-boot.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
40 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 11 wherein said ski-boot and said member are adapted to be secured to said ski whereby said ski-boot and said member are released from said ski by rotation and lateral disengagement of said ski-boot.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
46 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 1 or 2 in combination with a seating adapted to be arranged along the longitudinal axis of said ski-boot when said ski-boot is releasably engaged on said ski, said seating being adapted to receive the lower portion of said ski-pole.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
46 words
The ski-boot as defined by claim 1 or 2 in combination with at least one seating adapted to be mounted on said ski so as to be offset with respect to the longitudinal axis of said ski-boot when said ski-boot is releasably engaged on said ski.
