Abstract
A device for controlling the tension of a flexible connector (3), such as a wire, cable, or strap, applicable, in particular, as a tightening device for an alpine ski boot. A projection piece (8) on the base (4) has a central longitudinal groove along which the flexible connector (3) extends to its point of attachment (6b) on the tension lever (6). An elastic retainer holds the tension lever (6) on the base (4) in open position, but in the event of shock to the tension lever (6), the second end (15, 16) of the lever (6) disengages from a stop (11) and moves to the outside of the projection piece (8).
