Abstract
Device for securing a shaft or shaft cover on ski boots comprising a shell and a leg. At least one part of the leg, when the leg comprises a leg cover and sleeve, is the leg cover which pivots about an axis of the shell or of any leg sleeve transverse to the boot's direction of travel. Located between the leg or cover and the heel section of the shell is a catch which is subjected to a spring force that moves the catch into the closed position and which may be forced open against the spring force acting on the inside of the boot and which is supported over a lower face on the heel section of the shell. In the locked position of the catch the leg or cover under load presses against the catch, which in turn presses against the shell without loading the pivoting pin of the catch.
Claims5
A catch for securing a shell and a leg cover of a ski boot, at least a heel part of the leg cover pivots about an axis extending transverse to a longitudinal axis of the boot, said catch being subjected to a spring force biassing the catch into a closed position and which may be forced against the spring force into an open position, said catch comprising:
- a double-armed lever located in a recess of the leg cover and pivoting about a pin having a diameter less than the catch bore in which the pin is located thereby providing a clearance between the pin and the catch bore, and the catch having two stop faces each opposite one stop face of the shell or cover in the closed position of the catch.
