Abstract: An antifriction device, particularly for ski bindings including a first body which is fixed to the ski or is associable therewith and with which a second body is slidingly associated with the possibility of sliding along an axis which is longitudinal to the ski. A tab is removably or permanently associable with the second body, and a plate is freely pivoted to the tab perpendicular to the ski and at the region underlying the heel and/or tip of a ski boot. Thus, upon the activation of the safety release of the binding, the tab performs a translatory and rotary motion which facilitates the disengagement of the boot from the binding.

Abstract: A lever, pivoted to a pair of brackets which protrude from the boot, is constituted by a hollow central body which is pivoted to the lever body and is internally threaded complementarily with respect to a pawl with which at least one traction element is associated. A cover is furthermore slidably associated with the hollow central body and interacts with a bellows for forcing the cover into abutment with the pawl. Thus, a rotation imparted to the pawl, for example by means of the traction element, is followed by a movement of the cover which allows the skier to immediately visualize the degree of adjustment of the tension which can be imparted to the traction element.

Abstract: A vibration damping device for skis including a rigid plate for supporting ski boot bindings and having at least two holes which act as seats for at least one rigid spacer. At least one resilient member is arranged coaxially to the rigid spacer, and the spacer interacts with a screw for interconnection with the ski and for supporting the resilient member. The resilient member has a washer for supporting the rigid plate. The device thus allows the optimum damping of the vibrations which occur along an axis which is vertical with respect to the ski, without altering the possibility of transmitting the efforts imparted along different axes.

Abstract: A ski fastening includes a rear engagement member provided with a jaw engaging the heel of a boot. The rear engagement member is constituted by a first body which is slidably associated with a base which is rigidly associated with the ski. The first body includes first members associated with the jaw, which can be activated by the boot and activate second members adapted to automatically reset the fastening after a safety release.

Abstract: A ski boot composed of at least one quarter, articulated to a shell, and having, at the rear region adjacent to its own upper perimetric edge, a seat for a flap. The device includes a eccentric lever which is preferably pivoted transversely to at least one pair of wings which protrude laterally to the quarter. The eccentric lever naturally interacts with the flap and allows it to keep at least two operative positions: an inclined one for skiing, when the lever is closed, and a rearward one for walking or for adapting to the calf of the skier's leg when the lever is open.

Abstract: A securing device having a winding device associated with a rear quarter of the ski boot. The winding device has a pulley for winding a cable acting on a foot. A tab has a first end fixed to the shell of the ski boot and a second end engaging a toggle for selectively locking or unlocking the pulley depending on the rear quarter being closed or open.

Abstract: This foot securing device, particularly for ski boots accommodating at least one presser, comprises a grip element accessible from the outside of the boot. The grip element actuates a plate adapted to adjust the pressure exertable on the presser at the metatarsal region. This plate interacts with the presser upon the actuation of a cable winding element, activatable from the outside of the boot and adapted to tension at least one traction element affecting the presser at the foot instep region. The device thus allows the upper surface of the foot to be secured in two separate points by means of a single actuation, while allowing a separate securing adjustment at the two points.
