Alpine ski boot - having supple cord between leg and shell and adjusted by cam rotated by button and moving carriage holding ends of cord

摘要

The boot (1) has a shell (6) and a leg (2) with front (3) and back parts (4). These are articulated on an axle (5) on the shell and pivot backwards and forwards. The angular flexing amplitude is adjusted by a supple inextensible cord (11). This is between a cam (9), on the back of the leg, and a support (10) on the back of the shell. The cam is turned by a button (13) which moves a carriage (12) to which the ends of the cord are fixed, thus adjusting the tension of the cord. The cord loop passes round the lower support. USE/ADVANTAGE - Alpine ski boot with adjustable flexing amplitude of leg.
