Abstract: A method for decorating in thickness a ceramic slab, comprising the following steps: preparing, on a decoration surface (10), a first soft decorated layer (L1) of ceramic material endowed with a decoration (V); progressively transferring, by deposition, the soft decorated layer (L1) from the decoration surface (10) to a first deposition surface (50), situated at a lower height than the decoration surface (10), thus progressively forming on the first deposition surface (50) a second soft decorated layer (L2) which has a head (H) and a tail (T); progressively transferring, by deposition, the second soft decorated layer (L2) from the first deposition surface (50) to a second deposition surface (83), situated at a lower height than the first deposition surface (50), starting from the tail (T) of the second soft decorated layer (L2), thus progressively forming on the second deposition surface (83) a third soft decorated layer (L3).

Abstract: Sport footwear with a shell, a bootleg, and a device for clamping the heel region of the shell tight, including an eave pivoted on the shell and an anchor member which is associated slidingly with the bootleg, and a tie member between the sliding anchor member and the eave for swinging the eave into a working position in a way which is operated directly by operating the fastener for the bootleg.

Abstract: An article of sport footwear with a shell formed with two, respectively forward and rearward, longitudinally opposite openings which extend from a shell entrance and identify two lateral sides, with a bootleg pivoted on the shell and at least one fastening device bridging the corresponding opening and being adjustable in length, whose opposite ends are anchored on respective lateral sides of the shell proximate to the entrance to limit the rearward swing range of the bootleg and/or the forward flex of the boot.

Abstract: A sport shoe such as a ski boot having a shell with a notch extended to near the toe region thereof and a strip bridging the notch and being adapted to be tightened onto the shell to close it, is provided with a toe piece adapted to overlie the shell at the toe region; the toe piece has a lug which intervenes, in use, between the strip and the shell to tighten the toe piece onto the shell through said strip.

Abstract: The rear entrance ski boot comprises a boot shell to which a front quarter and a rear quarter are hinged. Also provided is a closure means for tightening the rear quarter toward the front quarter. The invention is peculiar in that it comprises a rear inner quarter connected to the cited shell and spanning the lateral and heel areas of the foot at the ankle region, the rear inner quarter fitting at least partially within the area bounded by the cited rear quarter, for securing the ankle region.

Abstract: A heater device particularly for ski boots, which comprises, located on the inner shoe of a ski boot, an electric resistance heater positioned at the user's foot sole and connected to a storage battery accommodated inside said inner shoe. The storage battery is connected to a recharge socket located at the top portion of said shoe and is connected to the resistance heater through a switch. Also provided is a voltage limiter adapted to prevent the storage battery from being discharged to below a preset voltage level.

Abstract: A ski boot comprises, between the shell and the inshoe, a bladder (1) connected to a resilient chamber (2) incorporated in the ski boot and connected by an air delivery conduit (5) to the bladder (1), in such a way as to cause the position of the resilient chamber to be independent from the position and configuration of the bladder.

Abstract: A foot clamping device for ski boots comprises, inside the boot body a presser member at the foot heel region and a threaded peg extending from the presser member and rotatably engaged in a threaded bush associated with a boss on the outside of the boot body. When the boss is rotated by a strap rigid therewith and constituting a closure element for the boot, the presser member is caused to traverse.

Abstract: A shoe with a sole and an upper portion for general sporting activities and training, comprising a shell made in one piece from wear-resistant material, such as plastics, rubber and the like, and incorporating the sole and the upper portions of the shoe integral therewith. Inside the shell there is provided a liner having the form of a folded elongated strip internally overlying at least the sole portion, the heel and the instep portion of the shell and being bent at the toe portion and the heel portion to maintain continuity thereof and protect at least the arch, the toes, the plantar and heel portions of the wearer's foot.

Abstract: An articulation device between vamp and leg, particularly for ski boots. The device comprises a pin with an enlarged head extending from the rear zone of a ski boot vamp and removably coupled with a slot provided in a central portion of the leg. The slot comprises guide means for the relative swing between said vamp and said leg allowing only forward and backward swing of said leg with respect to said vamp.
