Abstract: An in-line skate having a sports shoe connected to a frame supporting a plurality of in-line wheels. The sports shoe has a sole, and an upper made of soft material, and rigid protection strips. The protections strips are arranged above the lateral edge of the sole: at the lateral metatarsus region of the foot of the user; at the lateral heel region of the user's foot; and at the anklebone region of the user's foot.

Abstract: A device for the interconnection of a ski binding to a ski, comprising a first plate and second plate for interconnecting to a ski respectively a toe unit and a separate heel unit of the ski binding. The first plate and the second plate are movably associated at the bottom respectively to a third plate and a fourth plate that are associated longitudinally to said ski. Additionally, temporary means are provided which are arranged respectively between the first plate and the third plate and between the second plate and the fourth plate.

Abstract: A shell, particularly for a ski boot, constituted by a box-like main body which is open in an upward region and is rigidly coupled to a sole. The shell has, at the foot instep region, two arc-like partially overlapping plates, each of which is rotatably pivoted to the shell by pivots arranged laterally to the shell on an axis which is approximately parallel to the resting plane of the sole. The rotation of the two plates is limited by a pivot and slot connection arranged in the region in front of the heel.

Abstract: A sports shoe, particularly for skates, constituted by a rigid sole and by a separate soft upper, which surrounds at least part of the heel, the rigid sole being associated or formed monolithically with a frame that surrounds the foot at least laterally for containing a soft innerboot.

Abstract: A frame particularly usable for in-line or ice skates, comprising two mutually facing approximately vertical walls, transversely to which there are, along the same longitudinal axis, multiple holes for placing the hubs of respective wheels. The frame has, in a transverse cross-section, an oval shape which is closed in the interspace between at least two adjacent wheels.

Abstract: An adjustment device, particularly for adjusting the size of an in-line roller skate composed of a frame provided with means for connection to the wheels and to the heel unit of a shell to which a cuff is articulated. A toe unit for containing an innerboot is slidingly associated with the frame, can be positioned selectively, and can be actuated directly by the user.

Abstract: A tightening device, particularly for a sports shoe comprising a first mechanism for transmitting movement to a second mechanism, which is operatively connected to at least a first cable element for fastening the sports shoe, the first mechanism being activated by a third mechanism, which is manually operated by the user.

Abstract: A display device for displaying the position of a force-adjusting component for a ski binding, particularly for a toe unit or a heel unit of a ski binding, comprising display elemets that are operatively associated to the force-adjusting component by way of an interconnection element, which is associated to a main body of the toe unit or the heel unit. The interconnection element is activated by an axial shift of the force-adjusting component along the main body of the toe unit or a heel unit of the ski binding.

Abstract: A braking device for skates having a shoe composed of a quarter which is articulated to a shell which is associated with a supporting frame for two or more wheels. The device has a traction element which operatively connects the quarter to lever system which actuates the movement of a braking element which is slidingly and freely rotatably associated with the frame in a region located in the interspace between two adjacent wheels. The motion occurs in contrast with a spring.

Abstract: A braking device, particularly usable for skates comprising a shoe composed of a quarter which is articulated to a shell associated with a supporting frame for two or more wheels, and comprising at least one traction element which is connected at one end to a tab which protrudes from a braking element which is located in a region which is adjacent to the last wheel and oscillates in contrast with at least one flexible element. In the braking device, the traction element is associated, at its other end, with two levers which operatively interact with the quarter and allow to take up the traction element when the quarter oscillates backward so as to place the braking element in contact with a braking surface.

Abstract: A fastening strap for sports shoes, particularly for in-line skates, comprising at least two elements made of materials having mutually different rigidities. This allows better adaptation to the outer shape of the shoe and eliminates pressure points, particularly on the bony regions of the leg.

Abstract: A skate which includes a shoe having a first frame and a second frame for supporting one or more wheels. The first frame and the second frame, or the sole of the shoe, are articulated in a region which lies approximately below the metatarsus of the foot in order to allow better flexing. An adjustable fork assembly is also provided between the first frame and the sole and is adapted to force the planar arrangement of the shoe once thrusting has ended.

Abstract: A shell, particularly for sports shoes, such as for example skates, has a size, preselected during production, that is obtained by selectively connecting a separate front toe portion and a separate rear heel portion to a central body for supporting the sole of the foot.

Abstract: A safety device, particularly usable in ski bindings including a lever-equipped button that is selectively and rotatably associated with a central body, constituted by a lever that has a first end, which is pivoted to the button, and a second free end, which interacts, by abutment, with at least one locator provided in the central body. The lever thus arranged acts as a device for the temporary locking of the rotation of the button.

Abstract: A protection implement, particularly suitable for sports applications, constituted by at least one first outer protective element which is advantageously rigid and optionally by one or more second elastically compressible elements which are arranged internally. At least one third element, advantageously constituted by a two-sided vertical-warp knitted fabric, is arranged below the at least one first outer protective element.
