The present invention refers to a method for determining the dynamic characteristics of a ski boot comprising the steps of selecting at least three parameters suitable to represent some dynamic characteristics of the boot, experimentally determining the values assumed from each of the parameters, and finally determining the dynamic behavior of the ski boot on the basis of the combination of the values measured in the previous step. Also claimed is an apparatus for determining a parameter of dynamic behavior of a ski boot.

Method for determining the dynamic characteristics of a ski boot

Sport footwear, in particular ski boot, having passage openings () for the wearer's. foot provided frontally in the lower shell () and the leg-piece (). At least the opening () in the leg-piece () is capable of being closed by two flaps (), of which at least one is in the form of a pad () coupled to the remaining portion () of the leg-piece () with a clearance fit allowing said pad () to freely rotate in view of enabling the wearer's foot to be most smoothly and conveniently introduced in and subsequently extracted from the footwear.

Footwear with a lace fastening includes an opening with a first edge and a second edge. The first and second edges are juxtaposed and each edge carries a respective plurality of lacing eyes. At least two laces extend through respective pairs of the lacing eyes. The ends of both of the laces converge on both of the edges of the opening, with at least one end of each lace extending through a respective end lacing eye of the fastening provided on each of the opposite edges.

A swing flap () for the entry and exit of pets comprising a frame (), which can be fixed to an opening () made in a door or a wall, equipped at the top with hinged means of constraint for a flap (), and a first function selector (), designed to control the opening and closing functions of the swing flap (), this selector comprising a knob () integral with a first pair of elements () being shaped in such a way to allow, respectively: the opening of the flap () in a first direction;

Swing flap for the entry and exit of pets

A swing flap () for the entry and exit of small pets, which comprises a frame (), which can be fixed to an opening () made in a door or a wall, equipped at the top with hinged means of constraint for a flap (), and having a strip () indicating the direction of the last transit made by the animal.

Cage () with intercommunicating modular compartments, for example for small domestic rodents, comprising a first compartment () provided with an aperture () which can be closed by a cover (), wherein the first compartment comprises at least a further opening or passage () suited to allow the communication of the first compartment with at least a further compartment () joined to the first compartment ().

Cage with intercommunicating modular compartments

A braking device for skates including an item of footgear composed of a quarter articulated to a shell in turn associated with a supporting frame for one or more wheels. A rod member is articulated to a plate having a slot for the sliding and pivoting of rods which clamp a pair of disks laterally associated with one of the wheels, when the quarter is tilted back by the user.

Braking device particularly for skates

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.

Braking device for skates including an item of footgear composed of a quarter articulated to a shell which is in turn associated with a supporting frame for one or more wheels. The device includes a rod member connected to the quarter and is slidingly associated with the shell. The rod member has an end which, upon a rotation of the quarter, pushes toward the ground, a braking element articulated to the frame.

Braking device, particularly for skates

A braking device, particularly usable for skates including a shoe composed of a quarter articulated to a shell in turn associated with a supporting frame for one or more wheels. The device comprises at least one rod-like element which is rotatably associated with the quarter and is slidingly associated with a guide formed on a wing which is associated with the frame. The rod-like element is kinematically connected to a braking element articulated to the frame. When the quarter is rotated backwards, the rod-like element causes the braking element to rotate so that it interacts with the ground.
