Abstract: A ski boot of the kind comprising a substantially rigid outer shell and a cuff articulated to the shell is provided and further includes a locking device which can be switched between a first configuration, in which the rotation of the cuff relative to the shell is allowed, and a second configuration, in which the rotation of the cuff relative to the shell is prevented. The locking device of the ski boot also includes deadlocking means which prevents the locking device from being accidentally moved from the configuration in which it is, specifically when it is in the second configuration.

Abstract: A ski boot is provided of the type including a substantially soft inner liner, a substantially rigid outer shell and a cuff articulated to the shell, and further including a spoiler articulated to the shell and arranged between the inner liner and the cuff. The ski boot includes a locking device for selectively allowing or preventing rotation of the cuff relative to the shell and, at the same time, for selectively allowing or preventing the movements of the spoiler relative to the cuff, and consequently also relative to the shell.

Abstract: A tightening device is provided for footwear, in particular, for sports footwear of the kind comprising a substantially rigid outer element and a substantially flexible inner element. The tightening device comprises a strap element and the strap element is configured so that—when it is tensioned—it is capable of applying pressure directly both onto the outer element and to the inner element, whereby the pressure is applied more efficiently and uniformly and the user's comfort is thus increased. In addition, the strap element has a substantially continuous surface, which increase the stability of the tightening device and eliminates the risk of an incorrect positioning also in the case of high stresses during sports practices.

Abstract: Sports footwear, in particular to a ski boot, having an adjustable rear spoiler is provided. The spoiler is connected by respective connecting elements to the side elements attached to or integral with the cuff of the sports footwear and the distance of the connecting elements from each other can be adjusted by acting on a single, common adjusting device. Thus, adjustment of the volume inside the cuff, which receives the ankle and the lower portion of the calf of a user, takes place in an extremely simple and quick manner and without the risk of asymmetries in the adjustment.

Abstract: Skate, either an in-line roller skate or an ice skate, comprising a frame carrying on or more sliding elements, and a skate boot provided with a sole, said boot being fastened to said frame through a fastening portion, wherein said fastening portion is located between said sole and said frame in a substantially central region in the longitudinal direction of said frame.

Abstract: In-line roller skate (1), in particular racing skate, comprising a pair of side frame elements (5a, 5b), joined to each other by at least a transversal frame element (5c), between which a front wheel (7a), a rear wheel (7d) and at least two intermediate wheels (7b, 7c) are pivotally mounted, and a skate boot (3) provided with a sole (3a), said boot being fastened to said frame through a fastening portion (9), wherein said fastening portion (9) is located between said sole and said frame in a substantially central region (F) in the longitudinal direction between said front and rear wheels.

Abstract: The skate assembly includes a bogie frame including a brake pad, a pad support and a wear compensation system. Such a system includes an articulation, enabling the pad support to be lifted relative to the rest of the frame, and a movable locking lever. During braking, the lever is fastened into the slots provided for fastening the lever. When the pad has worn out, the user can unlock the lever and rotate the support so as to bring again the pad close to the ground. In this way, notwithstanding the wear of the pad, the need for excessively tilting the skate for braking is avoided. The adjustment system is very simple from the manufacturing standpoint, and is easy and quick to lock.

Abstract: The present invention refers to an in-line roller-skate, in particular a roller-skate for racing, comprising a footwear (102) and a chassis (104) supporting a train of wheels (108); the footwear (102) is provided on the bottom with a sole (103), which is in turn provided with at least a first and a second binding point (105, 111) for attachment to the chassis (104). The first binding point (105) is positioned in the heel-piece zone of the sole (103), whereas the second binding point (111) is positioned in proximity of the foot toe, approximately in the area in which the juncture of the toes lies. The train of wheels (108) comprises solely wheels (108) having a diameter of 100 mm, while the chassis (104) is adapted to accommodate in its interior fastening means (107) for joining the footwear (102) to the chassis (104).

Abstract: The present invention refers to a structure for a footwear for roller skates or ice skates.
