Boot for sporting activities

Securing device for securing two flap portions of a sports shoe, including: a lever arm with a pair of wings interconnected by a crossbase at one end thereof and provided with pivots at another end thereof; a traction element connectable at one end to a first flap and pivotally connected at another end to a middle zone of the wings of the lever arm; and a baseplate connectable to a second plate and provided with: a pair of protruding curved teeth at one end of the baseplate for pivotally accommodating the pivots of the lever arm; and a quadrangular protruding lug at another end of the baseplate for catching between the crossbase and wings of the lever arm in a closed position thereof. A pair of seats are provided in the upper surface of the baseplate to the sides of the lug, and the lever arm is provided with a pair of shoulders which engage in the seats when the lever arm is closed. The curved teeth of the baseplate also include first inclined planes which engage, when the lever arm is closed, with complementary inclined planes defined on the lower surface of the lever arm.

Securing device, particularly for sports shoes

An engagement device, particularly usable for toothed bands of sports shoes, such as for example ski boots, roller skates or ice skates, including a single body that can be associated with the shoe and has at least one first slot for the sliding insertion of the toothed band. First teeth for the temporary engagement with traction of the band are provided at the first slot. There is also a curved surface suitable to force the interaction of the set of teeth of the band with the first teeth.
