Ski boot with foot casing and attached back flap - has pivot lever in housing inside back flap cavity, and tie rod enclosed by spring with hand lever

摘要

The ski boot (10) has a foot casing (11) and attached back-flap (13) connected by a lever (21) pivot-mounted on transverse axles (21b) in the two sides (20b) of a U-section housing (20) contained in a hollow cavity (13b) in a back attachment to the back-flap. A tie-rod (16) enclosed by a spiral compression spring (17) exerts force on the lever, the end of which sticks out from the back-flap and is attached to a spring-loaded hand-lever (22). The tie-rod's top has a fitment (19) for the lever's two hooks (21a). The free, hooked end of the lever is in two parts holding the hand-lever's pivot axle (24). ADVANTAGE - The ski-boot has a simpler fastening mechanism; the elastic element affecting the back-flap's pivot movement in relation to the foot-casing is adjustable.
