Abstract
An adjustment apparatus for adjusting the attachment of a movable member to a stationary member, including a body having a movable opening therein. The opening can serve as a bearing for receiving a journal axis pin which allows a shank to pivot with respect to a shell base of a ski boot. Alternatively, the opening may serve as a means for receiving a projection from a closure device to attach a movable member to a stationary member. The opening is movable so that the axis of the journal pin can be changed, or the position at which the projection attaches to the two members can be adjusted. The body is adapted to fit within a complementary-shaped housing in one of the members so that it is flush with the member. The body has a slot therein, extending in the longitudinal direction of the body and adapted to receive a frame. The frame is adapted to rotate within the body around an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the body. The frame contains the opening. When the frame rotates, it simultaneously also becomes displaced in the longitudinal direction and thereby moves the opening from a first position to a second position along the longitudinal axis of the body. The body may also be reversed in the housing. If the slot is not centered in the body then by reversing the body, four positions for the opening can be obtained.
