Abstract
Abstract A fastening and locking device structure, particularly for ski boots, comprises a hollow frusto-conical element (4) enclosing the ski boot shell (1) at a middle region thereof. The frusto-conical element (4) extends at a top region into a tongue and laterally to the ski boot into two wings (5,6) encircling the ski boot middle region and joining together in a groove provided between the sole (8) and the heel region (11) of the ski boot. The frusto-conical element (4) is further fixedly connected with two lugs (14,15) extending towards the boot heel (11), whereat they present a tension lever device (16) for fastening them together and tightening the boot flaps.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A fastening and locking device structure, particularly for ski boots, characterized in that it comprises a hollow frusto-conical element (4) enclosing a ski boot shell (1) at a middle region thereof and being extended at a top region into a tongue (13), two lugs (14,15) being fixedly connected with said frusto-conical element (4) and presenting, at a heel region (11) of a ski boot, a tension lever device (16) effective to be tightened on a foot instep by pulling the frusto-conical element (4) toward the heel region (11).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A fastening and locking device structure, particularly for ski boots, characterized in that it comprises a hollow frusto-conical element (4) enclosing a ski boot shell (1) at a middle region thereof and being extended at a top region into a tongue (13), two lugs (14,15) being fixedly connected with said frusto-conical element (4) and presenting, at a heel region (11) of a ski boot, a tension lever device (16) effective to be tightened on a foot instep by pulling the frusto-conical element (4) toward the heel region (11).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A structure according to Claim 1, characterized in that said frusto-conical element (4) has a reinforcing top middle rib formation (12) adapted to make it indeformable at the region where it compresses shell flaps to be closed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A structure according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that said frusto-conical element (4) has two wings (5,6) encircling the shell (1) at the middle region from said top region.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
67 words
A structure according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that said wings (5,6) are brought together under a ski boot sole (8) and guided in a groove (10) provided between the sole (8) and a heel region (11) of the ski boot, said wings ( 5,6) being joined to each other by means of screws (7) operative to adjust the closure tension thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
A structure according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that said wings (5,6), together with a reinforcing top middle rib formation (12), define said frusto-conical element (4) having two lugs (14,15) extending vertically toward a boot heel (11).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A structure according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that said lugs (14,15) have a mutual engagement arrangement at ends thereof including a lever closure system (16).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
55 words
A structure according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the lever closure system (16) apply a pull action to a frusto-conical element (4) enclosing a ski boot shell (1) in a direction toward a heel region (11) to cause interference with the shell (1) and shell flaps to be closed.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
49 words
A structure according to one or more of the preceding claims, comprising a spring (19) arranged in the heel region (11) and adapted to be compressed as the lever closure system (16) is closed and then urge the frusto-conical element (4) open upon releasing the lever closure system (16).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
22 words
A fastening and locking device structure, particularly for ski boots, according to the preceding claims and substantially as herein described and illustrated.
