Abstract
Sport boot incorporating a shell base (1) surmounted by an upper (2) adjustable on the wearer's lower leg and comprising an immobilization device (4) functioning in and in relation to the upper (2). The immobilization device (4) comprises a rotating shim (6) on a pin (7), this shim extending on the inner wall (16) of the upper (2) and in proximity to the upper edge (12) thereof. The shim (6) is provided with a projection (8) which, depending on the angular position thereof, retracts into a recess (14) in the upper (2) or protrudes onto the wall (16) of the latter. The immobilization device (4) makes possible the effective adaptation of the upper (2) to the morphology of the wearer's lower leg.
Claims8
Sport boot incorporating a shell base surmounted by a high upper adjustable on the wearer's lower leg (9) by means of tightening devices, and comprising a device (4) for immobilization of the lower leg in and in relation to said upper by virtue of being interposed between the latter and the lower leg, wherein the immobilization device (4) comprises a rotating shim (6) which, when fastened to the upper (2) by means of a rotating connection pin (7), extends in proximity to the upper edge (12) of the upper (2, 32), and at least partially on the inner wall (16) of said upper, and is adjustable angularly in at least two positions, one of maximum immobilization and the other of minimum immobilization, and the rotating shim (6) is provided with a projection (8) which protrudes against the inner wall (16) of the upper (2) in the maximum angled immobilization position, and which retracts into a corresponding recess (14) in the upper (2) in the minimum angled immobilization position.
