Estimating the term…
A manipulation element for closing and latching a rear spoiler of boot on the leg of a skier. The manipulation element is journaled on the rear spoiler so that journalling of this element tensions a cable which closes the spoiler on the leg of the skier. The manipulation element comprises a U-shaped lever having an open space therein adapted to receive a second manipulation element which can, for example, lock the heel of the foot in the boot. In this way, two manipulation elements can be positioned on the dorsal zone of the spoiler. In another embodiment, the manipulation element includes two lateral ribs, each having a groove extending along the length of the rib for engaging and protecting the cable.
A manipulation element for closing and latching a rear spoiler of a boot on a leg of a skier, wherein said boot further comprises a cable attached to said boot and said element, wherein one end of said element is journalled on said rear spoiler, wherein the journalling of said element on said spoiler tensions said cable, wherein tensioning of said cable closes said spoiler on said leg, wherein said element comprises first and second spaced apart arms extending in substantially the same direction and having first and second ends, respectively, and a third arm connecting said first and second ends of said first and second arms, wherein said first and second arms are spaced a sufficient distance from each other to form a continuous empty space therebetween to permit another manipulation element to be positioned therebetween, and wherein said manipulation element is not secured for movement with said another manipulation element.
