wherein the axis of rotation is inclined from rear
to front and from top to bottom;
wherein the pivot location is offset from the
longitudinal median plane; and
wherein the axis of rotation forms an angle with the
longitudinal median plane.
Okajima’s claim 18
17. Okajima’s independent claim 18, which Bourdeau seeks
to designate as corresponding to the count is as follows:
A pair of snowboard boots comprising:
a first snowboard boot including:
a first heel member;
a first leg member positioned above the first heel
member;
wherein the first heel member is pivotally attached
to the first leg member at a first pivot location so that
the first leg member is capable of movement relative to
the first heel member about a first axis of rotation that
passes through the first pivot location;
wherein the first axis of rotation is vertically
inclined no more than +/- 45 ;o
wherein the first axis of rotation lies within a
first plane that is inclined relative to a longitudinal
second plane of approximate symmetry which divides left
and right sections of the first boot;
wherein the first pivot location is spaced apart
from the second plane of approximate symmetry;
a second snowboard boot including:
