Abstract
This fastener for closing two opposed closure flaps of a sports footwear, notably a ski boot, comprises on a first flap of the footwear a coupling member adapted to interconnect these flaps, means for anchoring one end of the coupling member to a catch member secured to the one flap, a binding lever pivoted to a support fixed to the other flap of the footwear and having pivoted thereto the other end of the coupling member and comprising beyond its pivot point a rigid extension lying substantially within the plane and thickness of the binding lever extension for interlocking substantially in a common plane the end of the lever extension and the binding lever in their closed and fold-down position which is also the closed position of the fastener itself. The end of the extension is notched and has pivotally mounted therein a spring-loaded pawl formed with teeth cooperating with corresponding teeth formed in the bottom of this notch on the binding lever, so that when closed the device can be opened by actuating a small auxiliary lever or depressing an arm with the thumb.
