Abstract
Alpine ski boot (1) comprising a shell base (2) surmounted by an upper (4) at least partially articulated (5) on the latter and at least one device (6) for back-to-front control of the active flection of the upper, constituted by a cursor transversely adjustable in position so as to delimit a rigid, movable point of support at least partially between the lower front edge (8) of the jointed upper (4) and a stationary portion (9) of the shell base (2). The cursor (7) supporting the device (6) for flection control of the upper (4) is constituted by a sliding device capable of translational travel on the guide rail (10) attached to the shell base and extending substantially parallel to at least a portion of the lower front edge (8) of the upper (4).
Claims13
An alpine ski boot comprising a shell base surmounted by an upper at least partially articulated to said shell base, and a device independent of said shell base for back-to front control of active flection of said upper, said device being constituted by a guide rail having two ends attached to said shell base and extending substantially parallel to at least a portion of said lower front edge of said upper, and a cursor which can be adjusted in position transversely to a longitudinal axis of said boot so as to delimit a movable point of support at least partially between a lower front edge of said jointed upper and a stationary portion of said shell base, said cursor being constituted by a sliding element capable of translational movement on said guide rail, said cursor forming a frame enclosing said guide rail and having a section which corresponds substantially to an interior section of said frame formed inside said cursor.
