A locking and unlocking device includes an actuation element and a lock and a rear deflector. The actuation element is mobile between a first position and a second position, controlling the position of the lock and the position of the rear deflector such that in the first position, the lock occupies a locking position to block an upper cuff in rotation relative to a shell base, and the rear deflector occupies a low position to close a cut-out at the rear of a shell base; and in the second position, the lock occupies an unlocking position to release the rotation of an upper cuff relative to a shell base, and the rear deflector occupies a high position to open up at least partly a cut-out at the rear of a shell base, in order to increase the amplitude of flexure of a lower leg in a sports boot.

Locking and unlocking device for a sports boot

Sports boot element of which the wall includes at least two different plastics materials (), the wall having (i) a first zone () including the two different plastics materials within its thickness, the first plastics material () forming two layers of the wall constituting the internal and external faces of the said wall, and the second plastics material () being interposed between the two layers of the first plastics material (15), and (ii) a second zone () including only the second plastics material ().

Co-injection moulded sports boot

The invention relates to a closure buckle for closing a ski boot, which buckle comprises a main lever () hinged to a base () and having a longitudinal notch () in which a tie rod () is mounted that is connected to a fastener hook and that has an end carrying an auxiliary lever (), said buckle being characterized in that the main lever () is provided with a protective plate () laterally defining a housing () for receiving the auxiliary lever (), and the invention also relates to a downhill ski boot equipped with such buckles.

Closure buckle for closing a ski boot

Ski boot with rigid shell comprising a lower shell () and a cuff () articulated in rotation to the lower shell (), characterized in that it comprises at least a connecting ring () connecting the cuff () to the lower shell (), this connecting ring () comprising a locking surface () collaborating with an opening () in the lower shell () so as to prevent the connecting ring () from rotating relative to the lower shell (), and a rotation surface () collaborating with an opening () in the cuff so as to guide the rotation of the cuff () relative to the lower shell () about this second surface.

Ski boot

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.
