Abstract: In a ski boot having a toe- and heel-piece and an anklet consisting of an anklet front part and an anklet rear part it is proposed that the toe- and heel-piece is soft to deformation in the instep region in the direction of variation of the clear instep width, that the anklet front part is displaceable perpendicularly of a transverse axis on lateral articulation points on the side parts of the toe- and heel-piece, in the direction of variable action of the anklet front part along the instep line of the deformation-soft instep region of the toe- and heel-piece, and that tension means serving for the adjustment of the anklet front part on the articulation points act upon the anklet front part.

Abstract: In a ski boot comprising a forward heel cup and an ankle cuff mounted pivotably, at said forward heel cup, around a transverse axis situated in front of the Achilles tendon line of the shoe transversely to the longitudinal direction of the shoe and defined by sideward hinge points, the ankle cup being fastenable to the shoe by means of support devices in a downhill skiing position in which said ankle support forces the lower leg into a forward-inclined downhill skiing position, it is suggested that by the shifting of the transverse axis (Q) out of a downhill skiing position (FIG. 1) into a resting position (FIG. 2), the support devices (32, 31) can be taken out of service in such a way that the lower leg can revert, with said ankle cuff (16), from the downhill skiing position into a resting position.

Abstract: Apparatus for the application of different first indicia to successive envelopes for exposed photographic films and for the application of related different second indicia to associated films has a first marking unit which imprints first indicia onto successive envelopes and a second marking unit which exposes second indicia onto unexposed portions of films. The second unit is adjusted in automatic response to monitoring of adjustment of the first unit, and the two units can be actuated to apply related first and second indicia to an envelope and to the associated film only when the envelope and the film assume predetermined positions with respect to the corresponding units. The positions of successive envelopes and successive films are scanned by discrete first and second photoelectric cells. The first unit is adjusted by the first cell or in automatic response to completion of application of first indicia to an envelope.
