  • Patent number: 4449274
    Abstract: The device comprises a pressure band engageable with the front upper portion of an inner shoe attached with one end to a side area of the boot, whereas the other end thereof is connected to a tension band, effective to be operated by a skiing stick. On the tension band there acts a releasable lock serrated portion adapted to allow the free translatory movement of the tension band in one direction and to prevent the translation of the tension band in the opposite direction. Tension on the tension band causes compression of the inner shoe by the pressure band against the user's foot.
