A boot that includes a shell base and a collar, an articulation provided between the collar and the shell base, such that the collar can pivot with respect to the shell base about an articulation axis, which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and further including a device for blocking the rearward rotation of the collar with respect to the shell base, the devices for blocking the rearward rotation including the following: a rocker mounted so as to rotate with respect to either the collar or the shell base, around a first pivot, the pivot being oriented along a first axis and the rocker having an elongated shape between an upper end and a lower end, and the first pivot being positioned in the vicinity of one of the two ends; a support base, positioned in the vicinity of the other of the ends, including a first support surface, which is capable of coming in contact with either the shell base or the collar; and a lever mounted so as to rotate with respect to the rocker around a second pivot, the second pivot being oriented along a second axis, parallel to the first axis, and the second pivot being positioned between the first pivot and the support base, the lever including an actuating palette and a cam surface.

Sports boot with blocking device

A sports boot, especially a ski boot of the type having a tightening device adapted to keep two flaps close together and including a first portion constituted by an operating lever which has at least one connection element and is carried by a plate affixed to one of the flaps to be brought closer together, and a second portion located on the other flap and constituted by a second connection element corresponding to the first and controlled during latching or unlatching by means of the lever which includes a structure to align the two portions so as to position them on a single working line.

Sports boot having a transversely adjustable tightening device

A sport boot, of the rigid shell type, provided with an adjustable stiffening device for its sole having a rigid element. The rigid element is mounted freely in a housing of the sole open across from the plantar surface of the user's foot. An adjustable assembly device, inserted in the rigid element and fixed to the sole allows achieving, for an adjustment position, the coupling of the sole to the rigid element. The invention allows modifying the stiffness of the sole, and thus adapting the general behavior of the boot depending on a specific use for which the boot is adapted at a given time.
