Closure device, particularly for rear opening ski boots

摘要

The boot closure described herein includes a case housing a rotatable shaft upon which are wound straps for drawing front and rear halves of the boot upper together. The closure includes a lever connected through a pair of ratchets to the shaft, so that the straps may be tightened by moving the lever back and forth. The ratchet system may be disengaged by lifting the lever, when removal of the boots is desired.
