Abstract
The brake device (30) for a lace (2), of a boot (31), sliding in a base part (1) linked to the boot (31), comprises a lever (3) articulated on the base part (1), returned by an elastic means (11) into a position of contact with the lace (2) preventing the sliding of the lace (2) in one direction by pressing action. The lever (3) has holding means (15, 16) enabling it to maintain a second, stable position allowing the sliding of the lace (2) in both directions, thus making the action required for opening the boot more convenient.

A brake device (30;
- 31) for a lace (2), of a boot (31), sliding in a base part (1) linked to the boot (31), comprising a lever (3) directly actuateable by a user, articulated on the base part (1), returned by an elastic means (11) into a position of contact with the lace (2) preventing the sliding of the lace (2) in one direction by a pressing action, wherein the lever (3) has holding means (15, 16;
- 17a, 17b, 18a, 18b) enabling the lever to maintain a second, stable position allowing the sliding of the lace (2) in both directions and wherein the device further comprises a means (12;
- 13) for releasing the return of the lever (3) into its position preventing the sliding of the lace (2) in one direction, said means (12;
- 13) for releasing being activated by an action consisting of exerting a defined tensile force in a defined direction on the free end (2b) the lace (2).
