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 said element is journalled on said rear spoiler, wherein journalling of said element on said rear spoiler tensions said cable, wherein tensioning of said cable closes and latches said rear spoiler on said leg, wherein said element comprises two lateral ribs adapted to engage said cable so as to comprise means for protecting said cable, wherein said element further comprises a lower end portion on an end of said element opposite from the end at which said element is journalled on said rear spoiler, wherein said cable is adapted to engage said lower end portion of said element as said cable extends between said two ribs.
A rear entry ski boot for holding the foot and the leg of a skier, wherein said boot comprises:
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 manipulation element, wherein said manipulation element is journalled on said rear spoiler, wherein journalling of said manipulation element on said rear spoiler tensions said cable, wherein tensioning of said cable closes and latches said rear spoiler in said leg, wherein said manipulation element comprises two lateral ribs adapted to engage said cable so as to comprise means for protecting said cable, wherein said element comprises a generally U-shaped lever having two lateral arms and an open space between said two lateral arms, and wherein said open space is adapted to receive another manipulation element having a different function from said manipulation element.
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 manipulation element, wherein said manipulation element is journalled on said rear spoiler, wherein journalling of said manipulation element on said rear spoiler tensions said cable, wherein tensioning of said cable closes and latches said rear spoiler on said leg, wherein said element comprises two lateral ribs adapted to engage said cable so as to comprise means for protecting said cable, wherein said element comprises a base which extends continuously between said two ribs, and wherein said base and said ribs of said manipulation element form a generally U-shaped recess adapted to receive another manipulation element therein.
