<p>A fastener comprising an anchoring base, a hooking lever comprising at least one hook, mounted by one of its ends at one end of the anchoring base by means of a pin, and a locking member for rigidly locking the hooking lever onto the anchoring base when both of them are superimposed. The locking member is slidingly mounted onto the anchoring base and is provided with a stop at one end adjacent the pin, and with a lock at the end away from the pin, the stop and the lock being spaced apart at a distance slightly greater than the length of the hooking lever. In operation, the locking member is freely slid with respect to the anchoring base from an openposition where the stop is set against the pin and the lock is released from the hooking lever, to a close position where the lock engages the hooking lever and holds it solidly to the anchoring base; and vice versa. Also disclosed is a method of fastening a sport boot equiped with at least one fastener of the above type which is particularly advantageous in that it may be used in a very easy and fast manner while being very reliable, very solid and not subject to self-unlocking under violent impact thereon.</p> |
