Abstract
A device for closing a boot, in particular a ski boot, designed to hold two sections of the boot together and comprising, first, a control lever carried by a plate made integral with one of the sections to be joined together, and second, on the other section, a rack, in one of the teeth of which a hooking device is designed to be engaged, this device being connected to the control lever by an inextensible tie rod. The hooking device has two hooking ends and is connected to the tie rod by a connection block on a pin belonging to which it rotates asymmetrically in a plane substantially parallel to that of the boot surface, the hooking ends being equipped with catches.
