  • Patent number: 11116278
    Abstract: A ski boot composed of a lower part or foot portion and an upper part or leg portion, suitable to enclose the lower part of the skier's leg, wherein the leg portion is hinged to the foot portion so as to rotate with respect to the foot portion around hinges defining a rotation axis. The leg portion comprises a closing lever suitable to block and/or unblock selectively the rotation of the leg portion with respect to the foot portion, and operatively connected to a base and an arm engageable in abutment against a pin fixed to the foot portion. The closing lever in the open configuration mutually moves the base and the arm away from each other forcing the latter against the pin to prevent a rotation of the leg portion backwards. The boot comprises traction means which operatively connect the base, the arm, and a fastening on the foot portion, the arm being placed between the base and the fastening. Said traction means comprise a cable at least partially extensible.

  • Patent number: 10799755
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a gymnastic apparatus and method for cycling simulation having a transmission portion driven by pedals, through which a user may perform cycling training. The transmission portion may comprise a flywheel and a braking portion, which may apply a braking force to the flywheel. The apparatus may further comprise a control logic unit, through which training parameters may be set, and a sensor coupled to the control logic unit. The sensor may detect a signal relating to the torque acting on the flywheel and thereby send a signal to the control logic unit; the control logic unit may be configured to adjust the braking force of the braking portion applied to the flywheel, thereby adjusting the resistance to the pedals as a function of parameters set, as appropriate, and communicate information and adjust such changes via a feedback signal from the sensor.

  • Patent number: 10435057
    Abstract: A collapsible chassis for strollers includes a base frame supporting at least one front post and at least one rear post with wheel assemblies. The base frame further supports at least one handle tube. An actuation element is supported by the base frame and is actuated by the user to move the chassis from the open condition to the closed condition. The actuation element is movable with respect to both the handle tube and the movable post and is connected by way of a first kinematic connection element to the movable post and by way of a second kinematic connection element to the handle tube. Actuating the actuation element causes the rotation of the movable post and handle tube. A third kinematic connection element is provided which includes an articulation element adapted to cause a motion of mutual approach in a transverse direction of the two rear posts.
