Abstract: An ice skate has a support and a skid blade which can be coupled together in bayonet-like relationship and employs a mechanism for locking the coupling incorporated to the support and actuatable manually from the exterior thereof.

Abstract: To exert a balanced and symmetrical pull on the bootleg of a ski boot, a boot fastening cable is run over a plurality of lay pulleys arranged at symmetrical locations on the ski boot and over a guide on a rear mounted lever with the ends of the cable secured to opposite sides of the ski boot.

Abstract: A retainer device is disclosed wherein two retainer plates engage from opposed sides an annular groove formed in an end section of a spindle on which a wheel, specifically a roller skate wheel, is mounted in a freely rotatable manner.

Abstract: Tread for the soles of long-distance ski boots (12), the tread consisting of grooves cooperating with mating ridges, the grooves and ridges being comprised in a sole (16) and in a plate (13) which is fitted to or forms part of a long-distance ski (10), the grooves (19-20) diverging from each other in the direction of the heel of the boot.

Abstract: For binding this roller skate, a strap is provided which extends arcuately across the skate frame and fits from the rear; the strap has juxtaposed end portions associated adjustably with the frame. A pull force is applied removably to the end portions of the strap for tightening the strap on the foot.

Abstract: An extendible roller skate has a support structure constituted by two mutually telescopic parts. Releasable fixing means are provided for securing the support-structure parts in fixed relative positions corresponding to a desired length of skate. These fixing means comprise a series of notches provided on one support-structure part, and a cooperating toothed member mounted on the other part of the support structure. This toothed member is mounted for movement towards and away from the notches of the notched support-structure part, movement towards the notches being opposed by a spring. A cam-shaped lever is provided to press the toothed member into engagement with the notches. Operation of this lever enables the rapid securing together and release of the two parts of the support structure.

Abstract: A lever-and-ring type ski-boot fastening in which the ring is releasably engageable with one of a plurality of hooks mutually spaced-apart by an interspacing. The hooks are formed on a plate-shaped body guided by a base-plate for movements towards and away from the lever by displacements equal to a fraction of the interspacing. Retaining teeth interengageable in a pawl-like manner are provided to releasably lock the plate-shaped body to the base-plate.

Abstract: In a binding device comprising a serrated strap engaged through a leader of an assembly for adjusting the binding tension, the strap can be locked by tightening within the leader with the intermediary of a wedge mounted movably in the leader itself.

Abstract: A device for fitting fixings to the upper of a ski-boot comprises a plate-shaped base fixed to a respective fitting, and a plate-shaped counterbase which is essentially snap-engaged with the plate-shaped base from within the upper through a hole formed therein. The easy assembly and firm anchorage of the fitting to the upper is thus achieved.

Abstract: In a tensioner assembly including a lever, a tie having a hook-up member and an interlobing mechanism between the lever and the tie, which mechanism comprises a latch axially movably on the lever toward and away from an abutment seat formed on the tie member.

Abstract: A device for fastening ski-boots, and which permits fine adjustment of the tightness of the fastening to be effected quickly and easily, includes a sprocket supported rotatably on a support plate and a tie with a rack portion engageable by the sprocket. The device also includes a ratchet mechanism for advancing the sprocket relative to the rack portion to tension the tie, and a ratchet mechanism for locking the sprocket so as to maintain the tension of the tie.

Abstract: A ski-boot fastening device for allowing the fastening tension to be adjusted under load includes a ring or other similar hook means and a tensioning unit which acts on the hook means through a tie rod comprising a rod-shaped element having a section with a plurality of transverse notches which are longitudinally aligned along the section, a substantially plate-shaped body with a hole extending parallel to the line of action of the tie rod and having dimensions so as to couple with at least the notched section of the rod-shaped element, and a seat formed in the substantially plate-shaped body. The seat opens into the hole in the plate-shaped body, and a locking member is mounted in the seat and guided for movement transverse the hole against the action of spring means so as to releasably engage a notch of the notched section of the rod-shaped element.
