  • Patent number: 6082745
    Abstract: A reinforced skate including a frame for supporting wheels or an ice-skating blade, and associated with a shoe. The reinforcement includes a first rigid element and a second rigid element, which are articulated to each other and surround the quarter and the shell so as to laterally assume the shape of the Greek letter lambda. The first rigid element is connected, at its end, to the frame so as to form a structure which allows optimum transmission of forces to the frame.

  • Patent number: 5175948
    Abstract: A support adjustment device for ski boots composed of a shell with which at least one quarter is associated. The peculiarity of the device consists of the fact that a shaped body is elastically associated with the quarter and embraces at least one portion of the skier's leg. The device furthermore includes sliders suitable for limiting the backward stroke of the shaped body with respect to the quarter. A safe and constant support of the calf is thus obtained.
