Abstract
Locking device for sports footwear such as ski boots, in which a lower leg envelopment (12) is hinged to a shell (10). The device consists of a support (20) fixed on an inner wall of the lower leg envelopment, in which there is mounted a cam (24) on which acts a rocker arm (35) that constitutes the relative complementary surface for the cam. The coupling of the cam to the rocker arm determines the skiing or walking attitude of the footwear, in relation to the rotations of the cam which are controlled by a lever (32) arranged beside it. This device is particularly compact and structurally strong. It can be produced in plastics material, and can be fitted directly to already assembled footwear, without requiring other operations for its utilization.
