Abstract: A retaining plate has at least two succeeding female detent means for receiving one end of a strap, which is received and retained at its other end in female detent means of a buckle. The female detent means in the retaining plate are covered by a cap, which consists of extensible material and is provided at opposite ends with pockets, which are fitted around raised edge portions of the retaining plate so that the cap is under initial tension.

Abstract: A device for fastening a ski boot is characterized in that it comprises a second unlocking lever having a positive action, pivoted to the rack or clamping lever and whose pivotal movement causes the disengagement of the engagement pin of the clamping lever from the notch of the rack in which this pin was housed.

Abstract: In the lacing device for ski boots the lacing members (either one or both of them) are mounted on a U-shaped carrier plate the legs of which slidably engage side grooves provided on an anchoring guide element on the ski boot. On the same carrier plate there is hingedly mounted a clamping element which in its operative position clamps the said legs inserted in the grooves in such a manner as to avoid the possibility that they be stretched apart, or divaricated, thus accidentally coming out of the grooves of the anchoring guide element. The clamping element is constructed as a clamping plate presenting, in correspondence of its sides, downwardly bent edge portions which, when the lacing device is mounted on the ski boot, come to be arranged side by side against the outer sides of the legs of the carrier plate.

Abstract: A lacing device for ski boots comprises a hooked lever-like lacing member provided on one flap of the boot which cooperates with a ring-like lacing member provided on the other flap of the boot. The hooked lever-like lacing member is hingedly mounted on a carrier plate which is provided with an aperture presenting such a contour as to pass snugly over the enlarged head portion of an anchoring projection obtained on the ski boot flap. The carrier plate is then locked in place by means of a locking bolt, in the form of a small plate hingedly mounted on the carrier plate, which engages one of the recessed portions which form the enlarged head of the anchoring projection. In this manner, the aperture of the carrier plate is practically restricted in its area, and the carrier plate (and lever-like lacing member carried thereby) is secured to the ski boot flap.

Abstract: A plastic ski boot shell having an opening for foot entry, a buckle on one side of the entry opening for engaging one portion of an endless locking cable, and cable retaining structure on the other side of the entry opening for engaging and retaining another portion of the endless cable. The cable retaining structure is integral with and constitutes a continuation of the shell, the retaining structure being composed of the same plastic material as the shell. The retaining structure permits ready engagement or disengagement of the endless cable.

Abstract: The lacing device for ski boots comprises a hooked lever-like lacing member which cooperates with a flexible elastic ring-like lacing member. In order to secure the ring-like lacing member to the flap of the ski boot upper, on the flap there is provided a projection which is substantially shaped, in plan view, as a "filled U" and presents a side groove along the "U" outline. A locking element is provided, which consists of a U-shaped plate formed so as to define a correspondingly U-shaped channel, inside which there is housed a portion of the ring-like lacing member, prior to the engagement of the U-shaped plate into the groove provided on the projection. Thus, upon engagement of the locking element plate inside the groove of the projection, a portion of the ring-like lacing member results to be encased in the tubular channel defined by the groove and by the locking element. Anchoring means are provided in order to avoid accidental disengagement of the locking member from the groove.

Abstract: A lacing device for ski boots comprises a hooked lever-like lacing member provided on one flap of the boot which cooperates with a ring-like lacing member provided on the other flap of the boot. The said lacing members are anchored to the boot flaps by providing on the said flaps a corresponding number of projections presenting an enlarged head. An elastic open ring made of steel wire is divaricated by its end portions, which are coaxially directed the one towards the other, so that it can be inserted around the corresponding projection on the flap. The divaricated end portions of the ring are then released so as to close towards each other, and penetrate into borings or side cavities provided at the extremities of the lacing members, thus ensuring an articulated anchoring of the said lacing members to the boot flap.

Abstract: The lacing device for ski boots comprises a hooked lever-like member which cooperates with a ring-like member. Each lacing member is hingedly mounted on a carrier plate which can be slidably fitted on a slide guide element provided on the flap of the ski boot upper. Each slide guide element presents a plurality of notches which can be engaged by a locking tooth provided on a locking lever which is hingedly mounted on the carrier plate. It is therefore possible to adjust the position of the carrier plate, and of the lacing member carried thereby, on the slide guide element, and, after having adjusted said position, to lock the carrier plate so as to avoid any accidental displacement of same.

Abstract: A lacing device for ski boots of the kind comprising a hooked lever like member cooperating with a ring like member, the said lacing members being secured to the ski boot upper, at both sides of the longitudinal opening formed in the ski boot upper. To this end, the said lacing members are each fastened to a base plate which may be assembled in an easily dismountable manner with a sliding fit on a slide guide formed on the ski boot upper. Abutment means are provided for limiting the movement of the said base plate with respect to the cooperating slide guide.
